(a) Contingent Liabilities. Other than obligations to BOS under the BOS Master Agreement, and obligations arising in connection with Investor loan sales and securitization transactions in the ordinary course of business, assume, guarantee, endorse, or otherwise become liable for the obligation of any Person which would cause Company to not be in compliance with the financial covenants of Section 6.1, or which contingent liability, if paid, would otherwise cause a material adverse change in Company’s financial condition.

Except for the sale, securitization or purchase of loans in the ordinary course of the business, liquidate, dissolve, consolidate or merge or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any substantial part of its assets, nor acquire substantially all of the assets of another if such acquisition would cause Company to not be in compliance with the financial covenants of Section 6.1, or would cause the Collateral to be subject to any Lien other than a Permitted Lien, or would cause any other assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to be subject to a Lien, or which would otherwise cause a material adverse change in Company’s financial condition, or which would result in a material adverse change in Company’s business operations, nor permit a change in ownership beneficially or of record of the voting stock of Company which results in Franklin Credit Management Corporation having less than a majority ownership interest in the voting stock of Company.

(c) Loss of Eligibility. Take, or fail to take, any action that would cause Company to lose all or any part of its status as an eligible lender, which if not maintained in good standing could materially and adversely affect Company’s business, operations, assets, or financial condition or which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impair the ability of Company to perform its obligation hereunder, as described under Section 5.1 hereof.

(d) Restricted Payments. Without the consent of Bank, make any Restricted Payment with cash or other proceeds arising out of the Pledged Mortgage Loans or any other Collateral.

(ii) Except as permitted in Section 3.4 sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to the Collateral or any interest therein; or

(iii) pledge or otherwise encumber (other than in respect of Permitted Liens) any of the Collateral, or accept consideration other than cash in payment or liquidation of the Collateral.

Section 7.2. Covenants Of the Company Subsidiary. Each Company Subsidiary that becomes a party to this Agreement agrees that so long as the Commitment or its Company Subsidiary Loan is outstanding or there remains any obligations of such Company Subsidiary to be paid or performed under its Note, or any of its Pledged Mortgage Loans remain subject to this Agreement, the Company Subsidiary shall not take the following actions which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact Company or Company Subsidiary’s ability to perform under this Agreement, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Bank:

(b) Merger; Sale of Assets; Acquisitions; Change in Control. Except for the sale, securitization, or purchase of loans in the ordinary course of the business, liquidate, dissolve, consolidate or merge or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any substantial part of its assets, or acquire substantially all of the assets of another, or permit ownership beneficially or of record of the voting stock of Company Subsidiary which results in Company having an ownership interest of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the voting stock of Company Subsidiary.

(c) Additional Indebtedness. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Debt other than (i) the Debt of such Company Subsidiary in respect of the Company Subsidiary Loans; and (ii) unsecured trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business.

(e) Investments & Subsidiaries. Form, or cause to be formed, any subsidiaries; or make or suffer to exist any loans or advances to, or extend any credit to, or make any investments (by way of transfer of property, contributions to capital, purchase of stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness, acquisition of the business or assets, or otherwise) in, any affiliate or any other Person.

(f) No failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
