Accrued and unpaid interest on each Advance shall be payable monthly on each Payment Date and on the Tranche A Termination Date, Tranche B Termination Date, Tranche C Termination Date, or Tranche D Termination Date, as applicable, except that interest payable at the applicable Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable promptly upon demand.

     (ii) Anything contained in Section 5 (a)(i) to the contrary notwithstanding, FCMC, on behalf of the Borrowers, has elected as of the Original Forbearance Effective Date and Lender has consented thereto, to pay the accrued and unpaid interest due in respect of the Tranche C Advances from and after the date that such interest begins to accrue on the Tranche C Accrual Date by adding the amount thereof to the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche C Advances (any such interest in respect of the Tranche C Advances that is so added to the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche C Advances being “PIK Interest”). Upon request of Lender, the Borrowers will execute and deliver to Lender an additional Tranche C Note for the amount of such PIK Interest or a replacement Tranche C Note in a face amount equal to the then outstanding principal sum, plus the amount of such PIK Interest; provided, however, the failure of Lender to request that the Borrowers execute, or the failure of the Borrowers to provide, any such additional Tranche C Note shall in no way affect the Borrowers obligation to pay

any such PIK Interest at the time and in the manner of other Tranche C Advances.

     (b) Scheduled Principal Payments in Respect of Tranche A Advances and Tranche B Advances, Principal Payments. On each Payment Date in respect of the Tranche A Advances and the Tranche B Advances, the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, the Minimum Tranche A Payment Amount and the Minimum Tranche B Payment Amount, as applicable, for such Payment Date. The Borrowers shall pay all remaining amounts of Tranche C Advances and Tranche D Advances as set forth in paragraphs (d) and (e) below and on the applicable Termination Date.

     (c) Payment Date Reports. No later than two business days prior to each Payment Date, Lender shall provide to Holding a report stating (i) the amount of interest due for the current Interest Period pursuant to Section 5(a), separately stated for the applicable Tranche A Advances, the Tranche B Advances, the Tranche C Advances, if applicable, and the Tranche D Advances, (ii) the Minimum Tranche A Payment Amount and the Minimum Tranche B Payment Amount for such Payment Date, and (iii) if such Payment Date occurs on a Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Advances, Tranche B Advances, Tranche C Advances and/or Tranche D Advances, as applicable; provided, that the failure of Lender to make any such report shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers to make payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under any Note in respect of the related Advances.

     (d) Collateral Collection. Without in any way limiting the obligations of the Borrowers to make the payments of principal and interest that are required to be made in respect of the Advances pursuant to Sections 5(a) and 5(b) (with respect to any Payment Date, the “Required Payments”), the Borrowers hereby authorize and direct Lender, on each Payment Date, to apply all Collections received from and after the immediately preceding Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Payment Date, from and after the Original Forbearance Effective Date) to but excluding such Payment Date (the aggregate amount of such Collections, minus any Reserves established during such period, being the “Applicable Collections Amount” in respect of such Payment Date) in the following order of priority:

first, to the payment of interest on the Tranche A Advances as calculated for such Payment Date;

second, to the payment of interest on the Tranche B Advances as calculated for such Payment Date;

third, to the payment of interest on the Tranche D Advances as calculated for such Payment Date;

fourth, to the payment of amounts constituting additional periodic payments of interest required under any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to Lender in full;

fifth, to pay any Letter of Credit Facing Fee or Letter of Credit Fee;

sixth, to pay the Minimum Tranche A Payment Amount for such Payment Date;

seventh, to pay the Minimum Tranche B Payment Amount for such Payment Date;

eighth, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Advances until the same are paid in full, with such prepayments being applied in the inverse order of maturity to the remaining Minimum Tranche A Payment Amounts;

ninth, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Advances until the same are paid in full, with such prepayments being applied in the order set forth in the definition of Minimum Tranche B Payment Amounts;

tenth, to any unpaid amounts on the Static Loans;

eleventh, on a pro rata basis to repay Tranche D Advances in full, Letter of Credit Exposure in full and any Obligations (other than payments constituting additional periodic payments of interest payable under item “fourth” above) under any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to Lender in full;

twelfth, to the payment of PIK Interest on the Tranche C Advances as calculated for such Payment Date;

thirteenth, to the extent of the applicable Tranche C Collections Amount, to pay the outstanding interest and principal amount of the Tranche C Advances until the same are paid in full, with such payments being applied first to any outstanding PIK Interest in respect of the Tranche C Advances and thereafter to the remaining principal amount thereof; and

fourteenth, to pay any unpaid Tribeca Advances until paid in full and then to Holding for the benefit of the Borrowers.

     All Collections in respect of the Static Loans shall be applied pursuant to the terms of the Franklin Master Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing applications of Collections, all Collections arising from the sale, lease or other disposition of REO Property purchased or acquired with any Tranche D Advance shall be used first to repay the principal of the revolving credit portion of any such Tranche D Advance until the same is paid in full and then applied pursuant to clauses first through fourteenth of this Section 5(d).

     (e) Mandatory Prepayments. Within five (5) business days after receipt of the Net Proceeds following any Mandatory Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall prepay the Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Mandatory Prepayment Event, any such prepayment to be applied in the same manner as set forth in Section 5 (d).

     (f) Computations. Interest on the Advances shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.

     6. Letters of Credit.

     (a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit, on any business day at least 30 business days prior to the Tranche D Termination Date, Lender, at its discretion may issue such Letters of Credit in such face amounts as Holding may request; provided that: (i) on the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit and after giving effect to the issuance thereof, the Letter of Credit Exposure will not exceed the amount of such Letter of Credit Exposure stated in the definition of Tranche D Commitment; and (ii) the expiry date of any Letter of Credit shall not be later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Tranche D Termination Date provided, however, that Lender may permit, in Lender’s sole discretion any Letter of Credit to remain outstanding after the Tranche D Termination Date if one or more Loan Parties shall deposit prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to such termination date into an account with Lender, in the name and for the benefit of Lender, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit as of such date, and provided further that Holding has provided the information necessary for Lender to complete the form of Letter of Credit, and the issuance of such Letter of Credit would not violate one or more policies of Lender. On and after the Original Forbearance Effective Date, the Letters of Credit issued by Lender for the account of any Loan Party prior to the date of this Agreement and set forth on Schedule 6 hereto shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and deemed issued pursuant to the terms hereof. Such deposit shall be held by Lender as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the outstanding Letters of Credit. Lender shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of Lender, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Lender to reimburse the issuing bank for letter of credit disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations or any other Obligations of the Loan Parties at such time.

     (b) Payment of Letter of Credit. In consideration for the issuance by Lender of the Letters of Credit, each Loan Party hereby authorizes, empowers and directs Lender to disburse directly to Lender, as a Tranche D Advance under this Agreement, an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, plus all interest, costs, expenses and fees due to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any such disbursement made on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Tranche D Advance, and Holding shall be deemed to have given to Lender a notice of borrowing with respect thereto.

     (c) Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts. Should Lender demand payment of the Obligations hereunder following a Forbearance Default prior to the Tranche D Termination Date, Lender, by written notice to Holding, may take one or more of the following actions: (i) declare any obligation of Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon any such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure to be forthwith due and

payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that the Loan Parties pay to Lender for deposit in a segregated non interest-bearing cash collateral account, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the Letters of Credit Exposure then outstanding at the time such notice is given. Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, Lender shall return to Holding, for the benefit of the Borrowers, any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account.

     (d) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to Lender: (a) a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin in respect of Tranche D Advances multiplied by the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in monthly installments in arrears, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding; and (b) for the benefit of Lender (i) the Letter of Credit Facing Fee (ii) Lender’s standard charges for issuing letters of credit and for any amendments thereto, payable upon demand by Lender.

     7. Conditions Precedent. The obligations of Lender to make or maintain, as applicable, the Tranche A Advances, the Tranche B Advances, the Tranche C Advances and the Tranche D Advances and to continue to forbear pursuant to the terms hereof are subject to the satisfaction, immediately prior to or concurrently with, the making of such Advances of the following conditions precedent, and in the case of Holding as a condition subsequent immediately after filing of the Certificate of Merger, each of which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel:

Notwithstanding the registration of such Trust Certificates in Lender’s name in order to perfect Lender’s Liens in such property and to enable Lender to exercise remedies under the Loan Documents, each Loan Party agrees that, regardless of such designation, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreements, Franklin Asset and Tribeca, respectively, shall possess all other indicia of ownership of such Trust Certificates, including without limitation all matters related to taxes and preparing returns regarding the same.

FCMC shall service the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties pledged to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. No Loan Party shall permit any Person other than FCMC and, subject to the limitations provided in Section 12 (b) above, Franklin Servicing LLC, to service any Mortgage Loans or REO Properties (other than a sub-servicer satisfactory to Lender) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, without the prior written consent of Lender.

Until such time as all Tranche A Advances and Tranche B Advances are indefeasibly paid in full, Holding and each Subsidiary on a consolidated basis shall maintain as of the end of each quarterly period a ratio of Cash Flow Available for Debt Service to Debt Service of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, with such ratio being determined (i) initially as of September 30, 2008, for the period from January 1, 2008, through and including September 30, 2008 (on a year-to-date basis), and (ii) as of December 31, 2008, and continuing as of the end of each quarter thereafter, for the most recently-ended twelve consecutive (12) month period ending on such date.

“Cash Flow Available for Debt Service” shall mean for any period all Collections (which term includes without limitation all servicing fees paid in cash, net payments received in cash pursuant to Interest Rate Hedge Agreements, due diligence fees paid in cash, interest payments and dividends paid in cash and any other cash payments); provided that for the purposes of the determination of Cash Flow, each such item of Collection shall be required to be received by Lender in the Lock Box or turned over to Lender by the applicable Loan Party and deposited in one of the Blocked Accounts at Huntington, and in each instance (i)

No Loan Party and no Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall enter into any material change in its capital structure or any change that Lender or a third party firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants with national expertise determines could cause a consolidation of assets of any Loan Party with any other Person not a Loan Party under FIN 46, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be withheld unreasonably. No Loan Party and no Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall organize or create any Subsidiary after the Forbearance Effective Date.

     (f) Operating Expenses. No Advance under this Agreement and no Collections shall be used by Holding or any Subsidiary to pay any operating expenses of such Persons in excess of the amount of Approved Expenses.

     14. Joint and Several Liability.

     (a) Each Borrower accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the

other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lender under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

     (b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, as a surety and as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower, with respect to the performance of this Agreement and the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any obligations arising under this Section), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

     (c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any Obligation as and when due or to perform any Obligation in accordance with the terms thereof, then, in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation, as applicable.

     (d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

     (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, Forbearance Default or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Lender under or in respect of any Obligation, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any Obligation, the acceptance of any payment of any Obligation, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Lender in respect of any Obligation, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any Obligation or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower or any part of the security for any Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or

in part, from any of its obligations under this Section, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrowers. The joint and several liability of each Borrower hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any other Borrower or Lender.

     (f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of each other Borrower’s financial condition, the financial condition of other Guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

     (g) The provisions of this Section are made for the benefit of Lender and its respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of Lender, or any or their respective successors or assigns first to marshal any claims or to exercise any rights against any other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon any insolvency proceeding of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

     (h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to Lender with respect to any Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency proceeding relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower.

     (i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the

continuance of any Default, Event of Default or Forbearance Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Event of Default or Forbearance Default, such Borrower will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any Indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee Lender.

     15. Cooperation of Loan Parties.

     (a) Each Loan Party agrees to take any and all actions of any kind or nature whatsoever, reasonably requested by Lender to prevent Lender from suffering any loss with respect to any Obligations owed to Lender or in respect of any Collateral or any impediment to any rights or remedies of Lender with respect to such Obligations, the Loan Documents or this Agreement (or the ability to exercise any such rights or remedies).

     (b) Further Assurances. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments and agreements reasonably requested by Lender as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

     16. The Credit Agreements and this Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Commercial Loans by this Agreement and previously by the Existing Forbearance Agreement, all amounts owing to Lender under the Credit Agreements, whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise which remain outstanding as of the date hereof are evidenced by the Notes and shall constitute Obligations owing under this Agreement and the Credit Agreements. This Agreement is not given in substitution for any Loan Document, is not payment of any amounts due by any Borrower under any Loan Document, and is in no way intended to constitute (i) a novation of any Commercial Loan or Loan Document, including without limitation the Existing Forbearance Agreement or (ii) an extension of the original maturity dates of any Commercial Loan.

     17. Use of Cash Collateral. Prior to the Forbearance Date, absent a Forbearance Default under this Agreement, Lender will permit a portion of Collections, in such amounts as determined by Lender in its good faith discretion from time to time, to be used by the Loan Parties for Approved Expenses necessary to continue the operations of the same and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Loan Parties shall provide expense reconciliations on the last Business Day of the month for expenses incurred in the immediately prior month, and may request, subject to the approval of Lender in its good faith discretion, amounts in excess of the budgeted amount for anticipated operating expenses. If such reconciliation indicates that monthly expenses were less than the budgeted amount, the difference between the actual expenses and the budgeted amount shall be returned to Lender or retained and applied against the next month’s expenses, in Lender’s sole discretion. Lender shall have no obligation to advance any sums pursuant to this Agreement at any time when a set of facts or circumstances exist, which, by

themselves, upon the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or any one or more of the foregoing would constitute a Forbearance Default.

     18. Sale of Collateral. Upon the earlier of (i) the Forbearance Date or (ii) the occurrence of a Forbearance Default under this Agreement, Lender shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in accordance with the terms of any Loan Document, and applicable law. Each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to such sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral by Lender. Each Loan Party hereby waives, renounces and forever relinquishes all rights to notice prior to disposition of any Collateral required by any Loan Document, and all rights that may be waived under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in any applicable state (and similar provisions of any applicable law of any other jurisdiction), whether such rights may be waived before or after default, including without limitation, those rights with respect to the compulsory disposition of collateral, the redemption of collateral, and the right to notice of any disposition of any Collateral. Each Loan Party further waives and forever relinquishes any and every right of redemption, including any statutory right of redemption, any equitable right of redemption, and any other right of redemption that may exist. This paragraph and the irrevocable waivers contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     19. Terms and Conditions. Other than as expressly modified herein, all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Credit Agreements and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and this Agreement shall not constitute a novation.

     20. Effect on the Loan Documents; Controlling Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference in any Loan Document to “Forbearance Agreement,” “Credit Agreement,” “Agreement,” the prefix “herein,” “hereof,” or words of similar import, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Except to the extent amended or modified hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Existing Forbearance Agreement, the Credit Agreements and the other Loan Documents shall remain as written originally and in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and nothing herein shall affect, modify, limit or impair any of the rights and powers which Lender may have hereunder or thereunder; provided that, to the extent the terms of the Existing Forbearance Agreement, any Credit Agreement or any Loan Document are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document executed in connection herewith, the terms of this Agreement or such Loan Document executed in connection herewith shall control. The amendments and supplements set forth herein shall be limited precisely as provided for herein, and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of, amendment of, consent to or modification of any right of Lender under, or of any other term or provisions of any Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or of any term or provision of any other instrument referred to therein or herein or of any transaction or future action on the part of any Loan Party which would require the consent of Lender.

     24. Waiver and Release of All Claims and Defenses; Communications.

     (a) Each Loan Party, for itself and its respective successors and assigns, agents, employees, officers and directors, hereby forever waive, relinquish, discharge and release all defenses and Claims of every kind or nature, whether existing by virtue of state, federal, or local law, by agreement or otherwise, against (i) Lender, its successors, assigns, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and attorneys, and (ii) all participants in any Commercial Loans or Advances, such participants’ successors, assigns, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and attorneys, (iii) any obligation evidenced by any Credit Agreement, any promissory note, instrument or other Loan Document in connection therewith, and (iv) any Collateral, in each instance, which any Loan Party, may have or may have made at any time up through and including the date of this Agreement, including without limitation, any affirmative defenses, counterclaims, setoffs, deductions or recoupments, by any Loan Party. “Claims” means all debts, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, dues, sums of money, accounts, bonds, warranties, covenants, contracts, controversies, promises, agreements or obligations of any kind, type or description, and any other claim or demand of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, disputed or undisputed, liquidated of contingent, in contract, tort, at law or in equity, which any Loan Party ever had, claimed to have, now has, or shall or may have. The term “Claims” also includes all causes of action, liabilities and rights arising under or by virtue of any Credit Agreement, promissory note or other document or any transaction entered into in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Agreement prevents enforcement of this waiver and release.

     (b) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that one purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the resolution of the Acknowledged Defaults and that, consistent with such purpose, no part of any oral or written communications between or among any Loan Party or Lender regarding the transactions contemplated in this

Agreement, exclusive of this written Agreement itself (collectively, “Communications”), shall be utilized or deemed to be admissible as evidence in any litigation involving any party to this Agreement. Communications shall be deemed to constitute “compromise negotiations,” and not to constitute evidence that is “discoverable,” as those phrases are used in the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable state rules of evidence, and no Communications shall be deemed to constitute evidence that is otherwise admissible for any other purpose.

     (c) The release and communication provisions provided by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of a Forbearance Default under the terms of this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement.

     25. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or this Agreement and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Forbearance Default, each of Lender and any participant in any Advance is hereby authorized by each Loan Party, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party or any other person or entity, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff, appropriate and apply against any Obligation owing to Lender or such participant from any Loan Party, in such order as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine, any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts), and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any such participant to any Loan Party, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with any Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or this Agreement, regardless of whether or not Lender or such participant shall have made any demand under any such document or otherwise.

     26. Indemnification. In addition to any other obligations of indemnification, each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally assumes responsibility and liability for, and hereby holds harmless and indemnifies Lender, its successors, assigns, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and attorneys, any participants in any Commercial Loan or Advance, such participants’ successors, assigns, directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and attorneys (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, any and all, by way of example but without limitation, liabilities, demands, obligations, injuries, costs, damages (direct, indirect or consequential), awards, loss of interest, principal or any portion of the Obligations, charges, expenses, payments of money and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or suffered, directly or indirectly, by an Indemnified Party or asserted against an Indemnified Party, by any person or entity whatsoever, including any Loan Party, arising out of this Agreement, or any document executed in connection herewith, or the exercise of any right or remedy, including the realization, disposition or sale of any Collateral, or any portion thereof, or the exercise of any right in connection therewith, or any actions taken by an indemnified party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for which an Indemnified Party may be liable, for any reason whatsoever except for such an Indemnified Party’s own acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification provisions provided by this Section shall survive and continue in

full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of a Forbearance Default under the terms of this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement.

     27. Consent to Relief from Automatic Stay. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that if any such party, individually or jointly, shall (i) file with any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) be the subject of any order for relief issued under the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) file or be the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, (iv) seek consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator, (v) be the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against any Loan Party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy and insolvency, or relief for debtors, Lender shall thereupon be entitled to relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or from any other stay or suspension of remedies imposed in any other manner with respect to the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes and the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party agrees that upon the occurrence of a Forbearance Default hereunder Lender shall be entitled to appointment of a receiver for any Collateral.

     28. Notice. All notices or demands hereunder to parties hereto shall be sufficient if made in writing and sent and confirmed by facsimile, or if sent by prepaid overnight courier addressed as applicable to Lender or Holding for itself and each Borrower at the address set forth below such party’s signature line to this Agreement, and such delivery will be deemed complete on the next business day. Notice to Holding shall be deemed notice to each other Loan Party as well.

     29. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in a writing signed by Lender and each Loan Party.

     30. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and Lender and their respective successors, and assigns; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by any Loan Party of its rights or duties hereunder. Lender does not undertake to give or to do or refrain from doing anything directly to or for the benefit of any person other than a Loan Party and, with respect to any Loan Party, other than as described herein. Although third parties may incidentally benefit from this Agreement, there are no intended beneficiaries other than each Loan Party and Lender.

     31. Indulgence; Modifications. No delay or failure of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof, nor the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights of Lender hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Lender would otherwise have except as modified herein. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement,

the Credit Agreements or the Loan Documents, nor any consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of Lender.

     32. Waivers Voluntary. The releases and waivers contained in this Agreement are freely, knowingly and voluntarily given by each party, without any duress or coercion, after each party has had opportunity to consult with its counsel and has carefully and completely read all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

     33. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement is made in the State of Ohio and the validity of this Agreement, any documents incorporated herein or executed in connection herewith, and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein) the Credit Agreements and other Loan Documents, and the construction, interpretation and enforcement thereof, and the rights of the parties thereto shall be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The parties agree that all actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement, any documents incorporated herein or executed in connection herewith, the Credit Agreements, and the other Loan Documents shall be tried and litigated only in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Ohio or the state courts of Franklin County, Ohio. The parties hereto waive any right each may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance with this Section. Service of process, sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against any Loan Party, may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address set forth below such party’s signature to this Agreement.

     34. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

     35. Severability. Should any part, term or provision of this Agreement be by the courts decided to be illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with any law of the state of Ohio, federal law or any other applicable law, the validity and enforceability of the remaining portions or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

     36. Construction; Conflict. This Agreement shall be deemed to be drafted by all parties hereto and shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring that it be construed against the party initiating the drafting hereof. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any such conflicting provision. In addition, from and after the Original Forbearance Effective Date, all affirmative, negative and reporting covenants contained in the Franklin Warehousing Agreement and the Franklin Term Loan Agreement shall be superseded by the covenants in this Agreement.

     37. WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL. LENDER AND EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE MAY BE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO

A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR LAWSUIT ARISING BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM, BUT THAT SUCH RIGHT MAY BE WAIVED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH PARTY, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE CONSIDERATION EXCHANGED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AGREES THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT IN THIS COMMERCIAL MATTER, EACH PARTY BELIEVES AND AGREES THAT IT SHALL BE IN ITS BEST INTEREST TO WAIVE SUCH RIGHT, AND, ACCORDINGLY, HEREBY WAIVES SUCH RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND FURTHER AGREES THAT THE BEST FORUM FOR HEARING ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR LAWSUIT, IF ANY, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENTS, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LENDER AND ANY LOAN PARTY SHALL BE A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

     38. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the parties as the final expression of their agreement and therefor incorporate all negotiations of the parties hereto and are the entire agreement of the parties hereto. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it is relying on no written or oral agreement, representation, inducement, warranty, or understanding of any kind made by Lender or any employee or agent of Lender, except for the agreements by Lender set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

     39. Reversal of Payments. If Lender receives any payments or proceeds of any Collateral which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to a trustee, debtor-in-possession, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise, then, to such extent, the obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied by such payments or proceeds shall be reserved and continue as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

     40. Expenses. Each Loan Party shall reimburse Lender and any participant in any Commercial Loan or Advance promptly upon demand for all costs and expenses, including without limitation, expenses of appraisers and other advisors with respect to any Collateral or the business of any Loan Party, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including the fees of Lender’s inside counsel), expended or incurred by Lender in any arbitration, judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, amendment and enforcement of this Agreement and any Loan Document, including without limitation, during any workout, attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document, whether or not any form of legal proceeding has commenced, (ii) collecting any sum which becomes due Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document, (iii) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, (iv) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights or remedies of Lender, any Collateral, whether or not any form of legal proceedings is commenced, or (v) any action necessary to defend, protect, assert, or preserve any of Lender’s rights or remedies as a result of or related to any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law of any jurisdiction. All of such costs and expenses shall bear interest from the time of demand at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement.

     41. Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 10756, signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Party and other information that will allow Lender to identify any Loan Party in accordance with the Act.
