CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

PREAMBLE. This Credit and Security Agreement (herein, together with all schedules and exhibits hereto, and as it may be amended or modified from time to time, called this “Agreement”), dated as of February [__], 2015 (the “Signing Date”), is made among (i) MANHATTAN BRIDGE CAPITAL, INC., a New York corporation (herein sometimes called “MBC” or “Borrower”), (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantors signatory hereto (collectively with Borrower, each a “Loan Party” and collectively, the “Loan Parties”); and (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ BUSINESS CREDIT CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“WBCC”), individually, as lender hereunder and as agent for itself and each other Lender Party (as hereinafter defined) (WBCC, acting in both such capacities, herein called “Lender”).

STATEMENT OF THE TRANSACTION. Capitalized terms used in this statement of the transaction shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex One. Borrower has applied to WBCC for financing to retire the Existing Loans, to pay closing costs associated herewith, and to supplement its working capital needs on an ongoing basis. WBCC, as initial and sole Lender hereunder, has agreed to provide this financing, subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and undertakings herein contained, Loan Parties and Lender, each intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

1.1 Accounting Terms. As used in this Agreement, any Note, or any certificate, report or Other Document, accounting terms not defined in Annex One or elsewhere in this Agreement and accounting terms partly defined in Annex One (to the extent not defined) shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP; provided, however, whenever such accounting terms are used for the purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants in this Agreement, such accounting terms shall be defined in accordance with GAAP as applied in preparation of the Historical Financial Statements. Certain other definitions which are used in the calculation of the Financial Covenants are set forth in Section 8.1.

1.2 General Terms. Certain other terms which are capitalized hereinbelow, but not expressly defined hereinbelow, shall have the meanings given to such terms in Annex One and in Annex Two, Part II.

1.3 Uniform Commercial Code Terms. All terms used herein and defined in the Uniform Commercial Code shall have the meanings given them therein unless otherwise defined herein. Without limitation of the foregoing, the terms “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “instruments,” “general intangibles,” “payment intangibles,” “commercial tort claims,” “securities,” “investment property,” “documents,” “supporting obligations,” “deposit accounts,” “payment intangibles,” “software,” “security entitlements,” “letter of credit rights,” “inventory,” “equipment” and “fixtures,” as and when used in the description of Collateral, shall have the meanings given to such terms in Articles 8 or 9 (as applicable) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

2. ADVANCES, PAYMENTS.

2.1 Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender will make Revolving Advances available to Borrower in aggregate amounts outstanding at any time equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base. The Revolving Advances shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note issued to Lender in a principal amount equal to the Maximum Revolving Amount (the “Revolving Credit Note”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) Borrower may notify Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date of Borrower’s request to incur, on such day, a Revolving Advance hereunder pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2. Each Notice of Borrowing shall attach a Mortgage Loan Schedule identifying the Eligible Mortgage Loans that the Borrower proposes to pledge to the Lender and to be included in the Borrowing Base in connection with such borrowing, (ii) specify the requested Funding Date, and (iii) be accompanied by all of the documents described in, and otherwise be subject to the full satisfaction of the Funding Requirements. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with any Lender Party, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with any Lender Party, and such request shall be irrevocable. Lender shall cause the proceeds of such Revolving Advance to be paid to such Person.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above but in each case subject to the Funding Requirements, in the event Borrower desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Lender at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be an integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and (iii) the duration of the Interest Period with regard thereto. Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for one (1), two (2), or three (3) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, unless otherwise approved by Lender, no LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default. There shall not be outstanding at any time more than three (3) LIBOR Rate Loans. Each Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrower Representative may elect as set forth in clause (iii) above, provided that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term. Borrower Representative shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or by its notice of conversion given to Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c), as the case may be. Borrower Representative shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Lender of such duration not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Lender does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrower Representative, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a Base Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(c) hereinbelow.

(c) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Base Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans, convert any such Loan into a Loan of another type, provided that any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Borrower desires to convert a Loan, Borrower Representative shall give Lender not less than (i) three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to convert from a Base Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to convert from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan, or (iii) one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to convert a Base Rate Loan to a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, in each case specifying the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Base Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be outstanding more than three (3) LIBOR Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(d) At its option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, Borrower may prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall indemnify Lender therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(e) hereof.

(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Lender to any lender of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Lender, nor any Participant is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender (for purposes of this subsection (f), the term “Lender” shall include Lender and the office or branch where Lender or any corporation or the Bank makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, as the case may be, shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrower shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Lender, either pay all such affected LIBOR Rate Loans or convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall pay Lender, upon Lender’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lender in respect of such LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lender to a lender of funds obtained by Lender in order to make or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.3 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Lender may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrower to Lender, shall be charged to Borrower’s Account on Lender’s books. During the Term, Borrower may use the Revolving Advances by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrower or deemed to have been requested by Borrower under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lender makes such Revolving Advances, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to Borrower’s operating account at the Bank or such other bank as Borrower Representative may designate following notification to Lender, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by Borrower, be disbursed to Lender to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

2.4 Maximum Revolving Advances. The aggregate balance of all Revolving Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving Amount or (b) the Borrowing Base, in any event.

2.5 Repayment of Advances.

(a) All Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term, subject to earlier prepayment, in whole or in part, as provided in this Agreement or in any Other Document.

(b) All payments of principal, interest fees and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Lender at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Lender. Lender shall have the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrower’s Account or by making Revolving Advances as provided in Section 2.2(a) hereof.

(c) Borrower shall be obliged to pay principal, interest, fees and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Other Documents as and when due, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

2.6 Repayment of Overadvances. The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any time in excess of the maximum amount of Advances permitted to be outstanding at any time hereunder (herein “Overadvances”), shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

2.7 Statement of Account. Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrower’s Account”) in the name of Borrower in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Lender and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by Lender to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Lender. Each month, Lender shall send to Borrower Representative a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Lender and Borrower, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrower in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lender and Borrower unless Lender receives a written statement of Borrower’s specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrower Representative. The records of Lender with respect to the Borrower’s Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.8 Additional Payments. Any sums expended by Lender due to Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document, may be charged to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

2.9 Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise may be expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made to Lender at the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 P.M., in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

2.10 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Upon receipt of any payment of principal (including payment in full of any Eligible Mortgage Loan) of any Eligible Mortgage Loan (including Borrower’s share of any payments made in respect of Designated Mortgaged Property or Designated Participation Loans), such payment shall promptly be remitted to Lender as a payment of outstanding Advances. All proceeds of (i) Designated Mortgaged Property remaining after satisfaction of any Designated Mortgages Liens recorded thereon and (ii) Borrower’s share of Mortgaged Property subject to a Designated Participation Loan or otherwise remaining after satisfaction of any participation interest shall be remitted to Lender for application to the outstanding Advances.

(b) Whenever Borrower either (i) issues any Equity Interests for cash, or (ii) incurs any Indebtedness not otherwise expressly permitted in Section 7.9, or (iii) sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral, or (iv) suffers an insured loss in respect of any Collateral, or (v) obtains any Extraordinary Receipts, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.11 in respect of clause (iv) above, Borrower shall, except as set forth in (a) above, repay the Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds derived therefrom; i.e., gross proceeds thereof less any reasonable costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the receipt of such proceeds, such prepayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (l) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Lender. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be an implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence sale or disposition otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such proceeds shall be applied to the Revolving Advances in such order as Lender may determine, without reduction, however, in Borrower’s ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral not to exceed, in aggregate fair market value, the Materiality Threshold in the aggregate, in any Fiscal Year and retain such net proceeds solely to acquire replacement Collateral without making a mandatory prepayment hereunder so long as (A) the fair market value of the acquired Collateral is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Collateral which was sold, (B) the acquired Collateral is purchased by Borrower within ninety (90) days before or after the date of the sale of the Collateral, (C) the proceeds of such sale are remitted to Lender to be held by Lender as security for the payment of the Obligations until the replacement Collateral is acquired, (D) the acquired Collateral shall be deemed to be acceptable Collateral by Lender in its sole discretion and (E) the acquired Collateral shall be subject to Lender’s first priority security interest created hereunder, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. If Borrower fails to meet any of the conditions set forth above, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to apply the proceeds held by Lender as a prepayment of the Advances in the manner set forth above.

2.11 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall apply the proceeds of (i) any Revolving Advances made on the Closing Date to pay closing costs and expenses associated with this transaction and to refinancing any Existing Loans and (ii) Revolving Advances made on and after the Closing Date to provide for their respective working capital needs and to fund loans by Borrower to its Mortgagor Customers for the purchase or refinance of Mortgaged Property.

3. INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1 Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable to Lender in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date with respect to Base Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans, and, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans at the end of each Interest Period or, for LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, at the earlier of (a) each three (3) months’ anniversary date of the commencement of such LIBOR Rate Loan or (b) the end of the Interest Period. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month (the “Monthly Advances”) at a rate per annum equal to the Revolving Interest Rate (sometimes also called herein the “Contract Rate”). Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Base Rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Contract Rate for Base Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The LIBOR Rate and the Daily LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted with respect to Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the Obligations shall bear interest at the otherwise applicable Contract Rate plus an additional two (2%) percent per annum (as applicable, the “Default Rate”).

3.2 [Reserved].

3.3 Unused Line. If, for any calendar month (or portion thereof) during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of Revolving Advances outstanding for each day of such monthly period does not equal the Maximum Revolving Amount as in effect on the first day of such monthly period, then Borrower shall pay to Lender a fully earned, nonrefundable fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance of outstanding Revolving Advances for such monthly period. Such fee shall be due and payable monthly in arrears, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the Signing Date, and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding calendar month through the end of the Term. The initial fee shall be determined based on the period from the Signing Date to the end of the calendar month containing the Signing Date.

3.4 [Reserved].

3.5 Audit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender audit fees in connection with each field audit conducted by Lender equal in amount to Lender’s customary per diem charges for such field audit (which as of the Signing Date, equal Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars ($950.00) per diem per auditor, subject to change from time to time thereafter) plus usual and customary out-of-pocket expenses for internal auditors, and the usual and customary fees and charges (including out-of-pocket expenses) of external auditors.

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees; Collection Days. Interest and per annum fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate during such extension; provided, however, that the foregoing extension shall not be considered when determining Borrower’s ongoing compliance with Financial Covenants that concern or include scheduled principal payments within specified dates. For purposes of computing interest and any fees based on the amount of Revolving Advances outstanding from time to time, one (1) additional collection Business Day shall be charged, effective from the Application Date.

3.7 Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.8 Increased Costs. If any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation or any Change in Law shall:

(a) subject Lender (which for purposes of this Section 3.8 shall include Lender, any Lender Party and any corporation or bank controlling Lender) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to its entering into this Agreement or any Other Document, or making any financial accommodations to Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Lender by the United States, or any state or municipality); or impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(b) impose on Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Lender deems to be material, then, in any such case;

Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate. Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrower, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.9 Capital Adequacy. In the event that Lender shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline or any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by Lender (for purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” shall include Lender, any Lender Party and any corporation or bank controlling Lender) and the office or branch where Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Advances with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrower shall pay upon demand to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section shall be available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. A certificate of Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Lender with respect to this Section when delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.10 Yield Maintenance. In the event that Lender shall determine, in good faith, at any time or from time to time hereafter, that the Base Rate or LIBOR Rate component of any Contract Rate charged on any Advance outstanding does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining such Advance by an amount that Lender determines to be material, then, Lender shall have the right to assess and collect an interest surcharge (the “Yield Surcharge”) that Lender, in good faith, determines to be sufficient in an amount to compensate Lender for its loss of yield, by giving notice to the Borrower Representative to such effect. Lender may use reasonable attribution and averaging methods in determining the amount of the Yield Surcharge. Such Yield Surcharge shall be billed and collected monthly by Lender as additional interest on each such Advance as provided in Section 3.1.

3.11 Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Lender shall have determined that either: (a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period; (b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar market, with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; (c) the indices on which interest rates for LIBOR Rate Loans are based no longer represent the effective cost to Lender for Dollar deposits in the relevant market; or (d) the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any LIBOR Rate Loan; then, Lender shall give Borrower Representative prompt written, telephonic or telecopier notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, unless Borrower Representative shall notify Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) any Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if Borrower Representative shall notify Lender, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan, or, if Borrower Representative shall notify Lender, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans, and (iv) Lender shall have the right to assess and collect the Yield Surcharge. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lender shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Base Rate Loan, Daily LIBOR Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

3.12 Late Charges. In the event that Borrower shall fail to deliver to Lender Borrower Reports specified in Sections 10.2, 10.7, 10.8, 10.10 and 10.13 as and when required to be delivered to Lender pursuant hereto or to any Other Document in the form and content so required pursuant hereto or to any Other Document to be delivered, then, in addition to (and not in limitation of) all other rights and remedies accorded to Lender as a result of such Default, Lender may impose a late charge in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150) per day per such delayed Borrower Report until its delivery.

3.13 Advance Requests. In the event that Borrower shall request that Lender make any Advance to Borrower either prior to that date on which, pursuant hereto, Lender has agreed to make such Advance available to Borrower e.g., prior to the expiration of at least three (3) Business Days after notice, in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans, or, alternatively, after any deadline has passed for Borrower’s making of such request on a timely basis pursuant hereto; e.g., after 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day in respect of requests for Revolving Advances being made as Base Rate Loans, Lender may impose a fee equal in amount to One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150) per request as a condition to the making of such Advance.

4. COLLATERAL; GENERAL TERMS.

4.1 Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to each Lender Party of all Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Lender, as agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender Party, a continuing security interest in and to all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Loan Party shall ▇▇▇▇ its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and shall cause its financial statements to reflect such security interest.

4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. (a) Loan Parties shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral or to enable Lender to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) obtaining landlords’, warehouse operators’, bailees’ or mortgagees’ lien waivers and related agreements, (iii) delivering to Lender, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Lender may specify, including without limitation compliance with all Funding Requirements, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Lender may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing, lockbox and other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Lender, (v) executing (as appropriate) and delivering authorizations for the recording of financing statements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Lender’s security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, including without limitation compliance with all Funding Requirements; (vi) obtaining acknowledgments, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, from any bailee having possession of any Collateral at any time, stating that the bailee holds such Collateral on behalf of Lender, (vii) obtaining “control” of any investment property, deposit account, letter-of-credit right or electronic chattel paper (the term “control” as used in respect of the foregoing types of Collateral having the meaning set forth in Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC), with any agreements establishing such “control” to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (viii) if a Loan Party at any time has or acquires a commercial tort claim, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender thereof, in writing, and grant a specific collateral assignment of such claim to Lender as additional Collateral and (ix) Loan Parties shall endorse and deliver to Lender any and all promissory notes payable to any Loan Party, as and when executed by any Mortgagor Customer (or, in lieu of such endorsement, an allonge executed by a Loan Party with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) together with not-recorded but recordable assignments of any and all mortgages (other than Mortgages) securing such notes, which may be recorded by Lender on the proper land records at any time in its discretion. Lender shall have the right to record in the applicable land records any Assignment of Mortgage and Collateral Assignment delivered in connection with an Eligible Mortgage Loan in its discretion, regardless of the occurrence of an Event of a Default.

(b) Lender is hereby authorized to file financing statements in accordance with the applicable provisions of the UCC, including, without limitation financing statements that describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property”, “all assets” or words of similar effect, at any time or from time to time hereafter, in any jurisdiction; and Loan Parties hereby ratify, approve and affirm the filing of any such financing statements heretofore filed by Lender in respect of any Loan Party (including any predecessor-in-interest thereof). All charges, expenses and fees Lender may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations, or, at Lender’s option, shall be paid to the Lender immediately upon demand.

(c) Except with respect to the Designated Mortgage Loans and the Designated Participation Loans, no Loan Party has assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Mortgage Loan or other Collateral to any other Person, and immediately prior to the pledge of such Mortgage Loan or any other Collateral to the Lender, the Loan Party was the sole owners of such Mortgage Loan or such other Collateral and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the Liens granted in favor of the Lender hereunder. No Mortgage Loan or other Collateral pledged to the Lender hereunder was acquired (by purchase or otherwise) by any Loan Party from an Affiliate of such Loan Party.

(d) The provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Lender a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of each Loan Party in, to and under the Collateral.

(e) Upon receipt by the Lender of each Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of a Loan Party, the Lender shall have a fully perfected first priority security interest therein, in the Mortgage Loan evidenced thereby and in the Loan Party’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

(f) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming the Lender as “Secured Party” and the applicable Loan Party as “Debtor”, and describing the Collateral, in the State of New York, the security interests granted hereunder in the Collateral will constitute fully perfected first priority security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of such Loan Party in, to and under such Collateral which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code.

4.3 Disposition of Collateral; Release by Lender. Each Loan Party will safeguard and protect all Collateral for Lender’s general account and make no disposition thereof whether by sale, lease or otherwise except upon payment by any Mortgagor Customer of the entire principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on any loan made by Loan Party to any Mortgagor Customer. Subject to Section 7.22 hereof, at such time as any Loan Party shall advise Lender that it is anticipating payment in full by or on behalf of any of its Mortgagor Customers of any note payable to any Loan Party (including, without limitation, any Eligible Mortgage Loan), Lender shall promptly forward such note endorsed back to such Loan Party, together with the reassignment to such Loan Party of the related Mortgage File and any collateral securing such note. In the event such note is not fully paid by or on behalf of such Mortgagor Customer within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by such Loan Party of such note, such Loan Party shall re-endorse to and return to Lender, such note, the assignments of mortgages and the balance of the related Mortgage File.

4.4 Preservation of Collateral. Following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and the demand by Lender for payment of all Obligations due and owing, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 4.2 and Section 12.1 hereof, Lender: (a) may at any time take such steps as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender’s interest in and to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of such security guards or the placing of other security protection measures as Lender may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and maintain at any Loan Party’s premises a custodian who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Lender may move all or part of the Collateral; (d) may use any Loan Party’s owned or leased lifts, hoists, trucks and other facilities or equipment for handling or removing the Collateral; and (e) shall have, and is hereby granted, a right of ingress and egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and through any Loan Party’s owned or leased property to obtain such Collateral. Each Loan Party shall cooperate fully with all of Lender’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Lender may direct. All of Lender’s expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Loan Parties’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

4.5 Ownership of Collateral. With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Lender’s security interest: (a) each Loan Party shall be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of its respective Collateral to Lender; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances whatsoever; (b) each document and agreement executed by each Loan Party or delivered to Lender in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects; (c) all signatures and endorsements of each Loan Party that appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and each Loan Party shall have full capacity to execute same; and (d) each Loan Party’s Equipment and Inventory shall be located as set forth on Schedule 4.5 or at such other locations within the United States of America as Lender may receive notice of, and approve, from time to time pursuant to Section 10.12 (all such locations herein called, collectively, the “Collateral Locations” and, individually, a “Collateral Location”); and shall not be removed from such Collateral Locations without the prior written consent of Lender except for Equipment that is moved from one such Collateral Location of a Loan Party to another such Collateral Location of another Loan Party.

4.6 Defense of Lender’s Interests. Unless and until (a) payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations and (b) termination of this Agreement, Lender’s security interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. During such period no Loan Party shall, without Lender’s prior written consent, pledge, sell, assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Loan Party shall defend Lender’s security interest in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following a Default or Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including without limitation: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Lender exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Lender at a place reasonably convenient to Lender. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. During any period that an Event of Default exists, each Loan Party shall, and Lender may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Lender holds a security interest to deliver same to Lender and/or subject to Lender’s order and if they shall come into Loan Party’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust as Lender’s trustee, and Loan Party will immediately deliver them to Lender in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.7 Books and Records. Each Loan Party shall (a) keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims; and (c) on a reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its earnings, allowances against doubtful Receivables, advances and investments and all other proper accruals (including without limitation by reason of enumeration, accruals for premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation, obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from such earnings in connection with its business. All determinations pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of the Accountants.

4.8 Financial and Other Disclosure. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed by such Loan Party at any time during the Term to exhibit and deliver to Lender copies of any of the Loan Parties’ financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant’s or auditor’s possession, and to disclose to Lender any information such accountants may have concerning such Loan Party’s financial status and business operations. In respect of the foregoing, Borrower Representative shall execute and deliver to its accountants and auditors employed on the Signing Date and, if such accountants and auditors are changed by Loan Parties subsequent to the Signing Date, a letter directly authorizing them to act in the manner so provided hereinabove when requested by Lender, such letter to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.8. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Lender copies of reports or examinations relating to such Loan Party, whether made by such Loan Party or otherwise; however, Lender will attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from such Loan Party prior to obtaining such information or materials from such accountants or such authorities.

4.9 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party shall comply in all material respects with all acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, administrative or judicial body or official applicable to its respective Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Loan Party’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Loan Party. Each Loan Party may, however, contest or dispute any acts, rules, regulations, orders and directions of those bodies or officials in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender to protect Lender’s Lien on or security interest in the Collateral.

4.10 Inspection of Premises; Appraisals. (a) At all reasonable times, Lender shall have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Loan Party’s books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Loan Party’s business from time to time in Lender’s sole credit judgment. Lender may also enter upon any of Loan Party’s premises at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such Loan Party’s business which, initially is intended by Lender to occur at least quarterly (if not more frequently); provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall charge Loan Parties for no more than four (4) inspections per calendar year.

(b) At any time that the Lender requests, each Loan Party will at its sole expense, provide the Lender with appraisals or updates thereof of the Mortgaged Property from an appraiser selected and engaged by the Lender, and prepared on a basis satisfactory to the Lender, such appraisals and updates to include, without limitation, information required by applicable law and regulations; provided, however, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, only one (1) such appraisal or update per calendar year shall be conducted and shall be prepared on a “drive-by” basis with respect to a representative sampling of all Mortgaged Property satisfactory to Lender; provided, further, that Lender may require appraisals or updates more frequently at its own expense. In the event the value of the Mortgaged Property so determined pursuant to such appraisal is less than anticipated by Lender, such that the Revolving Advances are in excess of such Advances permitted hereunder, then promptly upon Lender’s demand for same, Loan Parties shall make mandatory prepayments of their outstanding Revolving Advances as to eliminate the excess Advances.

4.11 Insurance. Each Loan Party shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At each Loan Party’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to Lender, each Loan Party shall (a) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which each Loan Party has an interest, including without limitation all Real Property, insured against the hazards of fire, flood (if any property is in a special flood hazard area and flood insurance is available in such area), sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party’s including, without limitation, products liability insurance and business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a bond or other surety in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Loan Party either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (d) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Loan Party is engaged in business; (e) furnish Lender with (i) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date and as required, in connection with the Funding Requirements, and (ii) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, naming Lender as a co-insured and loss payee as its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a) and (c) above, to the extent affecting or relating to Collateral and providing (A) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Lender, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (C) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice is given to Lender. In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Lender and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Lender and not to such Loan Party and Lender jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Loan Party and Lender jointly, Lender may endorse such Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Lender may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Lender is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above. All loss recoveries received by Lender upon any such insurance shall either be paid over to Loan Parties or applied by the Lender as follows: (i) if no Event of Default or Default exists, and the loss recovery so received by Lender is less than or equal to the Materiality Threshold, then Lender shall remit such loss recovery to the Loan Parties; (ii) if no Event of Default or Default exists, and the loss recovery received by Lender is more than the Materiality Threshold, then, Lender shall apply such loss recovery to the Obligations in such order as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine and (iii) if any Event of Default exists, then Lender shall receive and apply such loss recovery to the Obligations in such order as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Any surplus of such proceeds remaining after such application shall be paid by Lender to Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise required by law. If, however, after application of such proceeds to the Obligations, any “overadvance” (as that term is described in Section 2.6) exists, then, Loan Parties shall comply with said Section 2.6 in respect of its elimination. Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not be obligated to remit any insurance proceeds to Loan Parties unless Loan Parties shall have provided Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the insurance proceeds will be used by Loan Parties to repair, replace or restore the insured property which was the subject of the insurable loss. The Collateral at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the Collateral so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect. If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Lender, if Lender so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor for Borrower’s Account, and charge Borrower’s Account therefor and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations. Without limitation of the foregoing, if as of the Signing Date or at any time thereafter Lender determines that all or a portion of the improvements situated on any Real Property constituting Collateral are located within an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) as being in a “special flood hazard area,” whether now or at any time hereafter, Loan Parties shall also furnish Lender with flood insurance policies which conform to the requirements of said Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as either may be amended from time to time. The amounts of such insurance coverages shall be in an amount equal to the full insurable value and shall be maintained thereafter at all times in an amount such that Lender will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations, policies or practices. Renewals of such policies shall be so delivered at least ten (l0) days before any such insurance shall expire. If Loan Parties shall fail to provide any such insurance, or shall fail to replace any of the same within ten (10) days after being notified that the insuring company is no longer approved by Lender, or if any such insurance is cancelled or lapses without replacement, Lender may, at its option, procure the same in such amounts as are required hereunder, and the actual cost thereof may, at Lender’s option, be charged as a Revolving Advance to Borrower’s Account immediately upon incurrence or at any time thereof.

4.12 Payment of Taxes. Each Loan Party will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such Loan Party or any of the Collateral including, without limitation, real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes. If any tax by any governmental authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Loan Party and Lender which Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Lender’s opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Lender may, unless the Loan Parties have done so within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower Representative receives written notice from the Lender that they do so, pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Loan Party hereby indemnifies and holds Lender and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. Lender will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the extent that any Loan Party has contested or disputed those taxes, assessments or Charges in good faith, by expeditious protest, administrative or judicial appeal or similar proceeding provided that any related tax lien is stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender to protect Lender’s security interest in or Lien on the Collateral. The amount of any payment by Lender under this Section shall be charged to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations and, until Loan Parties shall furnish Lender with an indemnity therefor (or supply Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Lender may hold without interest any balance standing to Loan Parties’ credit and Lender shall retain its security interest in any and all Collateral held by Lender.

4.13 Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Each Loan Party shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Lender’s request, will provide evidence of having done so.

4.14 Receivables.

(a) Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Mortgagor Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to a loan made by Loan Party to such Mortgagor Customer or an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Loan Party’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Loan Parties to Lender.

(b) Each Mortgagor Customer, to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Mortgagor Customer is obligated in full when due or with respect to such Mortgagor Customers of any Loan Party who are not solvent such Loan Party has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables.

(d) On the Closing Date, each Loan Party shall have established one or more check scanners with Lender (“Scanners”) which shall be used for the sole and exclusive purpose of concentrating the collection of all remittances on Receivables and proceeds of other Collateral. All remittances confirmed by Scanners, once established, shall be transferred on a daily basis to the Concentration Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to Lender.

(e) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection (d) above, from and after the Closing Date, Loan Parties shall establish and maintain one or more additional Deposit Accounts of Loan Parties as blocked accounts (“Blocked Accounts” or a “Blocked Account”) pursuant to one or more agreements (“collectively, “Blocked Account Agreements” or a “Blocked Account Agreement”) with Bank or any other financial institution as is acceptable to Lender (collectively, “Blocked Account Banks” or a “Blocked Account Bank”) into which Loan Parties and Mortgage Customers shall remit payments on Receivables and other proceeds of Collateral. All amounts on deposit in a Blocked Account shall be transferred on a daily basis to the Concentration Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Unless otherwise agreed to by Lender, each Blocked Account Bank shall acknowledge and agree pursuant to its respective Blocked Account Agreement that all payments and deposits made to its Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of Lender; for the benefit of itself and each other Lender Party; that such Blocked Account Bank has no right to set off against its Blocked Account except as expressly provided on its Blocked Account Agreement; that such Blocked Account Bank will wire transfer immediately available funds in a manner satisfactory to Lender all funds deposited in the Blocked Account to the Concentration Account (or another account designed by Lender) on a daily basis as soon as such funds are collected. Each Loan Party agrees that all payments, whether by cash, check, wire transfer or other instruments of deposit in each Blocked Account shall be the sole and exclusive property of Lender, for the benefit of itself and each other Lender Party, and that Loan Parties shall not have any right, title or interest therein or in any Blocked Account. None of the Bank, Lender, any Issuer or any Lender Party assumes any responsibility for such Blocked Account or Concentration Account (unless such Person shall also be the applicable Blocked Account Bank or Concentration Bank and in such event only as set forth in the applicable Blocked Account Agreement applicable thereto), including without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder. Loan Party shall notify all Mortgagor Customers of Loan Parties to remit directly all payments constituting proceeds of Collateral to an applicable Blocked Account in the form received. All such payments, whether by cash, check, wire transfer or other instrument, made to each Blocked Account, shall be the exclusive property of the Lender, for the benefit of itself, the Bank, the Issuers and each other the Lender Party, and the Loan Parties shall not have any right, title or interest therein. The Loan Parties shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of the Lender, establish any accounts, other than the Blocked Accounts and the Concentration Account, pursuant to which payments on account of Receivables are made to or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties. Loan Parties shall not modify in any respect, without the prior written consent of Lender, any Blocked Account Agreement or any other arrangement relating to any Blocked Account.

(f) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsections (d) and (e) above, each Loan Party shall cause all Deposit Accounts existing on the Closing Date or subsequently (with Lender’s approval) coming into existence, other than any constituting a Blocked Account (herein, a “Pledged Account”), to be made the subject of a tri-party agreement among such Loan Party, the bank having such Pledged Account and Lender, to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (a “Pledged Account Agreement”), pursuant to which the pledge of such Pledged Account and all funds on deposit therein to Lender as security for the payment and performance of all Obligations shall be established and confirmed.

(g) All amounts deposited in the Concentration Account from time to time shall be applied to the Obligations upon (i) final collection thereof and (ii) their transfer from the Concentration Bank to the Lender in accordance with this subsection, effective on the Business Day that each such payment is received (such date being called herein the “Application Date”). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Lender shall be deemed to have received a payment from the Concentration Bank on a particular Business Day only if it receives by wire transfer the same prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Business Day or, if received after such time, on the next following Business Day. Lender is not, however, required to credit Borrower’s Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Lender and Lender may charge Borrower’s Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Lender unpaid. The Lender shall apply all amounts deposited in the Concentration Account as provided in Section 16.4 or, as applicable, Section 12.2. Each prepayment of a Revolving Advance pursuant to this Section shall be applied, first, to the payment of Base Rate Loans and second, to the payment of LIBOR Rate Loans. If sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments then to be made in respect of any Obligations, the available funds being applied with respect to such Obligations shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, in such order and manner as Lender shall elect, and Loan Parties shall continue to be liable for any deficiency.

(h) If at any time Lender determines that any funds held in the Blocked Account, the Concentration Account or any Pledged Account are subject to the Lien of any Person, other than the Lender as herein provided, (a) Loan Parties agree, forthwith upon demand by Lender, to pay to Lender as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Concentration Account, an amount equal to the amount of funds subject to such Lien, or (b) if no such payment is made, Lender shall establish sufficient reserves in the amount of such funds.

(i) At any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default, Lender shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Lender’s security interest in, the Receivables to any and all Mortgagor Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Lender shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both. Lender’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and telecopy, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to Borrower’s Account and added to the Obligations.

(j) Lender shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Lender or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Lender or Lender’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power at any time hereafter (i) to endorse such Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (ii) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any of the Receivables, drafts against Mortgagor Customers, assignments and verifications of Receivables; (iii) in Lender’s Permitted Discretion, to send verifications of Receivables to any Mortgagor Customer; and (iv) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Lender to preserve, protect, or perfect Lender’s interest in the Collateral and to file same. Following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, and during its continuation, each Loan Party shall hereby constitute Lender or Lender’s designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with additional power (i) to demand payment of the Receivables; (ii) to enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (iii) to exercise all of Loan Parties’ rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (iv) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; and (v) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables. 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 nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done willfully or with gross (not mere) negligence; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid. Lender shall have the right at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as Lender may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Loan Party.

(k) Lender shall not, under any circumstances 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 Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom, except for any such errors or omissions or delays of any kind determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted primarily from Lender’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, Lender may, without notice or consent from any Loan Party, ▇▇▇ upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Receivables or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. Lender is authorized and empowered to accept following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default the return of the goods represented by any of the Receivables, without notice to or consent by any Loan Party, all without discharging or in any way affecting any Loan Party’s liability hereunder.

(l) No Loan Party will, without Lender’s consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of the Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the business of such Loan Party.

No Loan Party shall use or operate the Equipment in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation.

4.17 Exculpation of Lender. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Lender as any Loan Party’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Lender 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. Lender shall not, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Lender, and Lender shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by Loan Parties of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

Such information is to be provided to allow Lender to protect its security interest in the Controlled Real Property and is not intended to create nor shall it create any obligation upon Lender with respect thereto.

(e) Loan Parties shall promptly forward to Lender copies of any request for information, notification of potential liability, demand letter relating to potential responsibility with respect to the investigation or cleanup of Hazardous Substances at any other site owned, operated or used by any Loan Party to dispose of Hazardous Substances and shall continue to forward copies of correspondence between any Loan Party and the Authority regarding such claims to Lender until the claim is settled. Loan Parties shall promptly forward to Lender copies of all documents and reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge at the Controlled Real Property that any Loan Party is required to file under any Environmental Laws.

Any report or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to an appropriate Authority that is charged to oversee the clean-up of such Hazardous Discharge shall be acceptable to Lender.

12. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

12.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 11.7, 11.8, 11.9 or 11.20, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and all Commitments of Lender shall be deemed terminated. Upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default not specified in the preceding sentence, and at any time thereafter during the continuation of such Event of Default, at Lender’s option, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lender shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the Commitments of Lender to make Advances. Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and during its continuation, Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including, without limitation, the right to (i) foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process and (ii) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as Loan Party might exercise (including, without limitation, taking any action under any power of attorney received by Lender with respect to any collateral securing any Mortgage Loan). Lender may enter any Loan Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Lender may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Lender may deem advisable and Lender may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Lender at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Lender may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Lender may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Loan Parties at least five (5) Business Days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Lender, or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Lender is granted permission to use all of each Loan Party’s trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used in connection with (a) Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods.

12.2 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds realized by Lender from the sale or other disposition by Lender of any Collateral subsequent to an Event of Default occurring and during its continuation, shall be applied as follows: first, to the reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender for collection and for acquisition, completion, protection, removal, storage, sale and delivery of the Collateral; secondly, to interest due upon any of the Obligations; thirdly, to fees payable in connection with this Agreement; and, lastly, to the principal of the Obligations; provided, however, that Lender reserves the right to adjust the foregoing allocations as it sees fit from time to time, in its sole discretion, and apply (or re-apply, as the case may be) such proceeds to the Obligations in a different manner or order. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Lender therefor. If any surplusage exists, such surplusage shall be held as cash Collateral pending full payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and termination of this Agreement, after which any remainder shall be returned to the Borrower Representative unless Lender is then otherwise required to remit such remainder under applicable law.

12.3 Lender’s Discretion. After an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Lender may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Lender’s rights hereunder.

12.4 Setoff. In addition to any other rights which any Lender Party may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, each Lender Party shall have a right to apply any Loan Party’s property held by it to reduce the Obligations.

12.5 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or in any Other Document or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

13. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

13.1 Waiver of Notice. Each Loan Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

13.2 Delay. No delay or omission on Lender’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any default.

13.3 Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE RELATED TRANSACTIONS, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

14. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

14.1 Term; Early Termination Fee. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon, the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Loan Party and Lender, shall become effective on the Signing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until that date which is the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Signing Date (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of the Obligations. In the event the Obligations are prepaid in full prior to the last day of the Term (the date of such prepayment hereinafter referred to as the “Early Termination Date”), Borrower shall pay to Lender an early termination fee (the “Early Termination Fee”), for the loss of its bargain (and not as a penalty) in an amount equal to (i) two percent (2%) of the Maximum Revolving Amount, if the Early Termination Date occurs during the first Loan Year, (ii) one percent (1%) of the Maximum Revolving Amount if the Early Termination Date occurs during the second Loan Year and (iii) one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Maximum Revolving Amount if the Early Termination Date occurs during the third Loan Year but to and including the date immediately preceding the end of the sixth month of the third Loan Year.

14.2 Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Loan Party’s, Lender’s, the Bank’s, any Issuer’s rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Lender, the Bank, the Issuers hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrower’s Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations of each Loan Party have been paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or each Loan Party has furnished Lender, the Bank, the Issuers with an indemnification satisfactory to such parties with respect thereto and an unconditional release from any liabilities hereunder. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights which it may have under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Lender shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid in full in immediately available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all Obligations are paid or performed in full.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates Borrower Representative to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Loan Party or Loan Parties, and hereby authorizes Lender to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrower Representative.

(c) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a Borrower Representative in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Loan Parties and at their request. None of the Lender Parties shall incur any liability to Loan Parties as a result thereof.

(d) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Loan Party shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Loan Party shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Lender to any Loan Party, failure of Lender to give any Loan Party notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Lender to the other Loan Parties or any Collateral for such Loan Party’s Obligations or the lack thereof.

15.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan Parties or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Loan Parties’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Lender, the Bank, each Issuer and all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business Lender may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Transferee”). Each Transferee may exercise all rights of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Transferee were the direct holder thereof provided that Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Transferee more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Transferee had Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee.

(e) Loan Parties authorize Lender to disclose to any Transferee or Purchasing Lender and any prospective Transferee or Purchasing Lender any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning Loan Parties which has been delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Document or in connection with Lender’s credit evaluation of Loan Parties, if, but only if such Transferee or Purchasing Lender shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 16.17 hereof.

16.4 Application of Payments. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations.

16.9 Expenses. All costs, fees, and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by any Lender Party under, pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, including specifically, but without limitation, any such costs, fees or expenses incurred in respect of the following: (a) all efforts made to enforce payment of any Obligations or effect collection of any Collateral, or (b) entering into, or the modification, amendment, administration and enforcement of, this Agreement and the Other Documents or any consents or waivers hereunder and all related agreements, documents and instruments, or (c) inspection of Loan Parties’ books and records or any Collateral, including field audits, or (d) any physical inventory or any appraisal of any Collateral, or (e) instituting, maintaining, preserving, collecting, liquidating, evaluating, storing, safeguarding, enforcing or foreclosing on Lender’s security interest in or Lien on any of the Collateral, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or (f) defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to any Lender Party’s transactions with any Loan Party, or (g) advice given to any Lender Party with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document, whether by legal counsel, accountants, consultants retained for such purpose or otherwise, shall, in each case, be charged to Borrower’s Account as and when incurred, shall be due and payable on demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full, and shall be part of the Obligations, and shall be secured by the Collateral.

16.10 Rights to Cure. Lender may, in its reasonable credit judgment, with written notice to Borrower Representative (a) cure any default by any Loan Party under any Material Agreement that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Lender to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of Lender therein or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the Other Documents, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any Loan Party, (c) discharge any Charges, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (d) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which Lender, in its Permitted Discretion, determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Lender with respect thereto.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Part I. Eligible Mortgage Loans

As to each Mortgage Loan included in the Borrowing Base on a Funding Date (and the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage, Collateral Assignment and Mortgaged Property), the Borrower shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to the Lender as of such date and as of each date Collateral Value is determined (certain defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined in the Loan Agreement appearing in Part II to this Annex Two):

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and in each Notice of Borrowing with respect to the Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Funding Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Borrower has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor Customer, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder, which Borrower and Mortgagor Customer are endeavoring and undertaking to cure.

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Lender, and which has been delivered to the Lender and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor Customer in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Lender and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

Annex Two - 1

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor Customer in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. The Borrower has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor Customer in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Borrower as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Borrower, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days' prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the Borrower. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor Customer to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor Customer's failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor Customer's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor Customer. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor Customer has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. The Borrower has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor Customer's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Borrower.

Annex Two - 2

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law may be applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Borrower shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of the Lender, and shall deliver to the Lender, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Borrower has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor Customer of any action, if the Mortgagor Customer's failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Borrower waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor Customer.

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a commercial mortgage for a single parcel of real property with a retail, residential, office, hotel or other commercial or residential building thereon. No portion of the Mortgaged Property currently occupied by the Borrower or Mortgagor Customer is for residential purposes.

(j) Valid Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien, on the property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;

(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property; and

Annex Two - 3

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Borrower has full right to pledge and assign the same to the Lender. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, deeds of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor Customer or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor Customer, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Borrower has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder, except in construction loans, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor Customer is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(m) Ownership. The Borrower is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Borrower has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to the Lender free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Loan Agreement and following the pledge of each Mortgage Loan, the Lender will hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Annex Two - 4

(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 70%.

(p) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Borrower, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Part I of Annex Two, and any other matters that Borrower agreed to allow to be outstanding against the Property, provided that such matters, would not affect the recovery of funds in the event of foreclosure, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor Customer has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses. The Borrower, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Borrower. Each title policy includes a clean Patriot Act and OFAC search.

(q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Borrower nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No payment under any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days past due

Annex Two - 5

(r) No Mechanics' Liens.

(u) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The stated maturity does not exceed twelve (12) months and does not provide for, or have, any extension beyond twenty-four (24) months from the original due date of such Mortgage Note. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor Customer on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor Customer which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. The Borrower has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be, which Borrower and Mortgagor Customer are not endeavoring to cure. The Borrower has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. The Mortgagor Customer represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor Customer would NOT occupy the Mortgaged Property as a residence.

The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Borrower, the Mortgagor Customer, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor Customer, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor Customer nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(dd) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor Customer prior to the Funding Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

(ee) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Borrower has no knowledge of any such proceedings.

With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Borrower and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Borrower have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.

Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

(hh) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Borrower or by any officer, director, or employee of the Borrower or any designee of the Borrower or any corporation in which the Borrower or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance.

(mm) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Funding Date (whether or not known to the Borrower on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Borrower, the related Mortgagor Customer or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer's breach of such insurance policy or such insurer's financial inability to pay.

(nn) Capitalization of Interest. The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.

No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan, “covered” mortgage loan or “predatory” mortgage loan or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or local law, or (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Georgia Fair Lending Act, the City of Oakland, California Anti-Predatory Lending Ordinance No. 12361 or any other statute or regulation providing assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans.
