Subject to Section 16 of this Agreement, the Borrower may prepay the Subordinated Term Loan prior to the Subordinated Term Loan Maturity Date in whole or in part on or after December 27, 2018, provided that (i) the Borrower shall have given the Bank at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such prepayment, which notice shall be irrevocable, and shall obligate the Borrower to make such prepayment on the date indicated in such notice, provided, further, that such notice shall not be given and such prepayment shall not be made, in whole or in part, unless the Borrower has obtained the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such approval is required by then Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the applicable capital regulations and guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board); and (ii) such prepayment must be made only on an Interest Payment Date. Amounts repaid shall not be reborrowed.
7. Payments by the Borrower.
(a) Time, Place and Manner. All payments due to the Bank under this Agreement shall be made to the Bank, or to such other Person as the Bank may designate, at the Bank’s Office or at such other address in the City of New York as the Bank may designate. A payment shall not be deemed to have been made on any day unless such payment has been received at the required place of payment, in Dollars and in funds immediately available, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day.
(b) No Reductions. All payments due to the Bank under this Agreement, and all other terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed and performed by the Borrower hereunder, shall be made, observed or performed by the Borrower without any reduction or deduction whatsoever, including any reduction or deduction for any set off, recoupment, counterclaim (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) or Tax, except for any withholding or deduction for Taxes required to be withheld or deducted under Applicable Law.
(c) Taxes. If any Tax is required to be withheld or deducted from, or is otherwise payable by the Borrower in connection with, any payment due to the Bank under this Agreement, the Borrower (i) shall, if required, withhold or deduct the amount of such Tax from such payment and, in any case, pay such Tax to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (ii) shall pay to the Bank (A) such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Bank with respect to such payment, after withholding or deducting all Taxes required to be withheld or deducted, is equal to the full amount payable under this Agreement and (B) an amount equal to all Taxes payable by the Bank as a result of payments made by the Borrower (whether to a taxing authority or to the Bank) pursuant to this Section 7(c).
(d) Modification of Payment Dates. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, whenever any payment to the Bank under this Agreement shall be due (otherwise than by reason of acceleration) on a day that is not a Business Day, the date of payment thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension; provided, that, if such immediately succeeding Business Day shall fall in the next calendar month, then the date of payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(e) Authorization to Charge Accounts. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank, if and to the extent that any payment due to the Bank hereunder is not otherwise made when due, to charge any amount so due against any or all of the accounts of the Borrower with the Bank or any of its Affiliates (as if the Bank and its Affiliates were one and the same entity), with the Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency; provided, however, that such authorization is subject to the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such approval is required by then Applicable Law (including without limitation, the applicable capital regulations and guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board).
8. Funding Losses; LIBOR Funding.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon request, such amounts as the Bank determines are necessary to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense whatsoever incurred by it as a result of (i) any payment of principal or interest due on the Subordinated Term Loan on a date other than the Subordinated Term Loan Maturity Date or an Interest Payment Date (including a permitted prepayment of the Subordinated Term Loan pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement), as the case may be (by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the amendment of this Agreement or otherwise), (ii) any other payment in respect of the Subordinated Term Loan not being made, for any reason, on the due date therefor (by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), or (iii) the Subordinated Term Loan for any reason not being accepted or not being made on the Disbursement Date whether by reason of failure of a condition set forth in Section 11 or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but without duplication, the Bank may at its election demand compensation on account of any losses, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of any termination of, or any other circumstance relating to, any swap, swaption, cap, collar, option or other derivative product or other arrangement of any kind entered into by the Bank which is in any way connected or related to arranging, making available or maintaining the funding for the Subordinated Term Loan, this Agreement or the Subordinated Term Loan Note.
(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Bank determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits in the definition of LIBOR in Section 1 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for the Subordinated Term Loan, then the Bank shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Bank shall be under no obligation to maintain the Subordinated Term Loan as a LIBOR-based loan, and the Bank and the Borrower shall agree as promptly as practicable to an another mutually acceptable base rate.
9. Evidence of Subordinated Term Loan.

The execution and delivery of any of this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note and the incurrence of the obligations and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with, or constitute a breach of or default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or any material contractual restriction, instrument, indenture, mortgage, agreement or lease to which the Borrower is a party or by which it may be bound, or any law, administrative rule or regulation or court decree.
(c) Each of this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower, and each of this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, any regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body is required for the execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Subordinated Term Loan Note by the Borrower or for the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Subordinated Term Loan Note.

(h) No presently existing fact or circumstance, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, either alone or in conjunction with all other such facts and circumstances, has had or might in the future have (so far as the Borrower can foresee) a

If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Applicable Law, any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any government, governmental agency or authority, court, tribunal, central bank or other comparable body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by the Bank with any interpretation, request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such government, governmental agency or authority, court, tribunal, central bank or other comparable body shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to maintain the Subordinated Term Loan, then the Bank shall so notify the Borrower and the Subordinated Term Loan shall become due and payable immediately upon the Borrower’s receipt of such notice (or on such earlier date as may be required by such Applicable Law, interpretation, guideline, request or directive); provided, however, that such obligation of the Borrower to make such payments will be subject to the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board
15. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower irrevocably agrees that any Subordinated Term Loan Agreement Related Claim may be brought in any Federal or New York State Court located in the City of New York and, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid courts in personam, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action or proceedings for itself and in respect of its property, assets and revenues. The Borrower hereby also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Borrower further irrevocably consents to service of process out of said courts by mailing a copy thereof, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to itself, and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all claim of error by reason of such service in any legal action or proceeding brought in accordance herewith. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction (whether for an injunction, specific performance, damages or otherwise), any right or claim of immunity of any kind with respect to itself or its assets including, without limitation, from attachment or execution of judgment, and the Borrower irrevocably agrees that it and its assets are and shall be subject to any legal action or proceeding, attachment or execution in respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note. The Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Bank shall not
be liable for, and the Borrower waives and agrees not to seek any special, indirect or consequential damages arising out of any claim related to this Agreement, the Subordinated Term Loan Note or any advance. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER AND THE BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH THEY ARE BOTH PARTIES INVOLVING ANY SUBORDINATED TERM LOAN AGREEMENT RELATED CLAIM.
16. Subordination.
(a) (i) The Borrower and the Bank, by acceptance of the Subordinated Term Loan Note, agree that the payment of all Obligations is subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 16, to the prior payments in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and that these subordination provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. This Section 16 shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.
(ii) The Borrower may not make payments (by set-off or otherwise) on account of the Obligations (A) in the event of a default in the payment of any obligation on Senior Indebtedness when it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or otherwise, unless and until such default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, or (B) upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration (unless rescinded or waived) or otherwise, unless and until all obligations on such Senior Indebtedness are first paid in full.
(iii) Upon any distribution of assets of the Borrower to creditors upon any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or any liquidation or winding-up of the Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, all principal, premium (if any) and interest due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness must be paid in full before the Bank is entitled to receive or retain any payment on account of the Obligations. In any such event, any payment or distribution in respect of the Obligations that would otherwise be payable in respect of the Obligations (other than securities of the Borrower or any other entity provided for by a plan or reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinated, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) but for these subordination provisions shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. After payment in full of all sums owing with respect to such Senior Indebtedness, the Bank, together with the holders of any of the Borrower’s obligations ranking on a parity with the Obligations, shall be entitled to be paid from the Issuer’s remaining assets, the Obligations or such other obligations ranking on a parity with the Obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property, or otherwise, shall be made on account of any of the Borrower’s capital stock or any of its obligations ranking junior to the Obligations.
(iv) If any payment or distribution in respect of the Obligations (other than securities of the Borrower or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinated, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) is received by the Bank in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding.
(v) The rights of the Bank will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent of any payment made by the Borrower to such holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to the Bank but for these subordination provisions.
(vi) Nothing contained herein or in the Subordinated Term Loan Note shall impair, as between the Borrower and the Bank, the obligation of the Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Bank the Obligations when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms or prevent the Bank from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by Applicable Law or under this Agreement upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness under this Section 16 in respect of any payment made to the Bank upon the exercise of any such remedy and subject to the limitations provided for in Section 13 hereof. The failure to make a payment in respect of the Obligations by reason of any provision of this Section 16 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 16 shall not impair any rights, interests, remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Borrower in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Agreement.
(vii) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower referred to in this Section 16, the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization or arrangement proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Bank for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Bank, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 16. In the absence of any such bankruptcy trustee, receiver, assignee or other Person, the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of such Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the Bank determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payments or distributions pursuant to this Section 16, the Bank may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Bank as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to
which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 16, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Bank may offer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive payment. The Bank, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Borrower or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 16 or otherwise.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16 or elsewhere herein or in this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of money to or by the Bank and shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no such facts exist and that no event specified in clause (i) of this Section 16(a) has occurred, unless and until the Bank shall have received an officer’s certificate from the Borrower to that effect or notice in writing to that effect signed by or on behalf of the holder or holders, or their representatives, of Senior Indebtedness who shall have been certified by the Borrower or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Bank to be such holder or holders or representatives or from any trustee under any indenture pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding. The Borrower shall give prompt written notice to the Bank of any facts that would prohibit the payment of money to or by the Bank in respect of the Obligations.
(ix) No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination provisions herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Borrower with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or this Section 16, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any such Senior Indebtedness, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness is issued or by which it may be secured, or release any security therefor, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Bank and without affecting the obligations of the Borrower or the Bank under this Section 16.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Board (if such consent is then required by Applicable Law):
(i) repay, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Obligations except as permitted under this Agreement;
(ii) amend any document evidencing or providing for the Obligations; or
(iii) take or omit to take any action whereby the subordination of the Obligations as provided in this Agreement or any part thereof to Senior Indebtedness might be terminated, impaired or adversely affected.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note, including specifically the provisions set forth in this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note relating to subordination, Events of Default and covenants of the Borrower, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, if it should be appointed as receiver of the Borrower, or any other receiver, conservator or trustee of the Borrower appointed by any court or other governmental official having jurisdiction shall have the right in the performance of his or her legal duties, and as part of any transaction or plan of reorganization or liquidation designed to protect or further the continued existence of the Borrower or the rights of any parties or agencies with an interest in, or claim against, the Borrower or its assets, to transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations evidenced by this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note to any bank or bank holding company selected by such official which shall expressly assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal of and interest on, the Subordinated Term Loan Note and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions of this Agreement; and that the completion of such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default, acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or which may occur due or related to such transaction, plan, transfer or assumption pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Subordinated Term Loan Note, and shall serve to return the Bank to the same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any interest and principal previously due, other than by reason of acceleration, and not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the Bank, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the date of such transfer and assumption, together with interest from its original due date at the rate provided for in this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note. IN ADDITION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SUBORDINATED TERM LOAN NOTE, IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE SUBORDINATED TERM LOAN NOTE IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Borrower shall, on demand, pay or reimburse the Bank for all fees, costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other experts employed or retained by the Bank) incurred, and all payments made, and indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against all losses suffered, by the Bank in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of (A) this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan Note and (B) whether or not executed, any waiver, amendment or consent under or to this Agreement or the Subordinated Term Loan Note, (ii) the administration of and any operations under this Agreement, (iii) consulting with respect to any matter in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with, this Agreement or the Subordinated Term Loan Note including (A) the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement by the Bank of any of its rights under or related to this Agreement, or the Subordinated Term Loan Note or (B) the performance by the Bank of any of its obligations

Both principal and interest shall be payable in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Bank at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other branch or office as the Bank may designate in writing.
