Section 2.13 Payments.

(a) Making of Payments.

(i) All payments of principal and interest due under the Facility shall be made by the Borrower or the relevant Brooke Party to the Lender pursuant to Article III. All payments of fees pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Article III for the exclusive account of the Lender. All such payments shall be made to the Lender at its office in Cincinnati, not later than 12:00 noon, Cincinnati time, on the date due, in immediately available funds, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Lender on the next Business Day.

(ii) If the Borrower or any other Brooke Party fails to make any payment or deposit required to be made by such Borrower or such other Brooke Party hereunder when due (taking into account any required notices and cure periods), such Borrower or any such Brooke Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Lender interest on such amount at the Default Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by the amount of any Collections if such Collections are rescinded or required to be returned to the related Obligor or any Brooke Party or any other Person for any reason. Interest accruing on all Advances, the fees described in Section 2.10 , and all other fees, indemnification obligations, and other obligations shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred sixty (360) days.

(b) Effect of Payments. Each payment by the Subservicer, the Master Agent Servicer or any other Person to the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a), shall be deemed to constitute payment by the Borrower directly to the Lender, provided, however, that in the event any such payment by the Borrower or such other Person is required to be returned to the Borrower or such other Person for any reason whatsoever, then the Borrower’s obligation to the Lender with respect to such payment shall be deemed to be automatically reinstated.

(c) Setoff. The Borrower agrees that the Lender shall have all rights of setoff and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Borrower agrees that if at any time any amount is due and owing by the Borrower or the Subservicer, as applicable, under this Agreement to the Lender at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Lender may apply any and all balances, credits, and deposits, accounts, or moneys of the Borrower or the Subservicer, respectively, then or thereafter in the possession of the Lender (excluding, however, any trust or escrow accounts held by the Borrower for the benefit of any third party) to the payment thereof.

(d) Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest on any Advance or any fees payable hereunder falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and (in the case of principal) additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

Section 2.14 Application of Certain Payments.

(a) During the Revolving Period, each payment of principal of the Advances shall be applied to such Advances allocated to such Interest Periods as the Borrower shall direct.

(b) During the Amortization Period and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each payment of principal of the Advances shall be applied as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Eurocurrency Disruption Event.

(a) If after the date hereof, the Lender or any of its Affiliates (each an “Affected Party”) shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation or any accounting principle (including, without limitation, any applicable law, rule or regulation or accounting principle regarding or affecting capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or accounting body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority or accounting body (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) which subjects any Affected Party to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or an Affected Party’s obligations under a Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Loans, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Party of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of an Affected Party) or (ii) which imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of an Affected Party, or credit extended by an Affected Party pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) which imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, reduce the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Affected Party under a Funding Agreement, or require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Lender by the submission of the certificate described below, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such amounts as are necessary to compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost, reduction or payment. Any such Affected Party shall deliver to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts so required to compensate such Affected Party, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If the Lender determines that a Eurocurrency Disruption Event has occurred, the Lender shall so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Advances in respect of which interest accrues at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate for the then-current Settlement Period shall immediately be converted into Advances in respect of which interest accrues at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate for the remainder of such Settlement Period.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by any Brooke Party shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding net income taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on any Affected Party by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Brooke Party or the Lender is required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Party, (i) the Borrower shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Brooke Party or the Lender, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) such Brooke Party or the Lender, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Affected Party delivers to the Borrower (with a copy to be delivered to the Lender) a written demand therefor together with a certificate as to the amount of such indemnification setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and the calculation thereof, which certificate shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

(d) Each Funding Source who is organized outside the United States shall, prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any Person who becomes a Funding Source after the date hereof, prior to the date on which it so becomes a Funding Source), deliver to the Borrower and the Lender such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the IRC or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(a) or Section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Funding Source establishing that such payment is (i) not subject to withholding under the IRC because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Funding Source of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) totally exempt from United States tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty. Each such Funding Source that changes its funding office shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lender of such change and, upon written request from the Borrower or the Lender, shall deliver any new certificates, documents or other evidence required pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder. Unless the Borrower and the Lender have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, notwithstanding paragraph (a), the Borrower or the Lender shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Funding Source organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States.

(e) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts to any Affected Party in respect of Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above if the obligation to pay such amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Affected Party to comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) above unless such Affected Party is unable to comply with paragraph (d) because of (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof (or, in the case of any Person who became an Affected Party after the date hereof, after the date on which it so became an Affected Party).

In addition, the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Borrower will send to BWF any notice requested by the Lender of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Participation Agreement or any event or occurrence that would, upon notice to BWF or upon the passage of time or both, would be such a breach.

Section 9.1 Restrictions on Assignments. The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender. Lender may assign or grant participations in its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person in the ordinary course of business with the prior written consent of the Borrower whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (each an “Eligible Assignee”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender or any of its Affiliates may pledge or assign any of its rights (including rights to payment of any Advance and any accrued interest thereon) under this Agreement to any Affiliate, any Federal Reserve Bank, any Liquidity Provider (if such Liquidity Provider is other than Fifth Third or an Affiliate thereof, such assignment may only be effected with the prior written consent of the Borrower) or any commercial paper conduit collateral trustee without notice to or consent of the Borrower or any other Person. Each Brooke Party shall, at the Lender’s expense, reasonably cooperate with the Lender in effecting any assignment or participation hereunder, including the execution and delivery of any necessary or appropriate documentation and opinions) and shall make management personnel available as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the assignment or participation.

Section 9.2 Documentation. The assignor and the assignee involved in an assignment referred to in Section 9.1 shall execute and deliver to the Lender an Assignment and Acceptance, duly executed by each such party and otherwise acceptable to the Borrower and the Lender, shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder or under the Note.

Section 9.3 Rights of Obligations of Assignee. The respective assignee receiving such assignment shall have such rights and obligations of the Lender as the Lender shall transfer hereunder and all references to the Lender in Section 9.1 shall be deemed to apply to such assignee.

Section 9.4 Notice of Assignment. Lender shall provide prior notice to the Borrower of any assignment hereunder by Lender to any Eligible Assignee.

Section 9.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.

(a) If there shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Lender prior to the payment of the Note (i) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save and hold each of them (and any agent or other Affiliate of either of them) harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower or the Lender that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Borrower shall, at the sole expense of the Lender, execute and the Lender shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like class, tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 9.5, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Lender) connected therewith.

(c) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 9.5 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any other Note duly issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.

Section 9.6 Persons Deemed Owners. The Borrower, the Servicer, the Subservicer, the Lender and any agent of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Subservicer or the Lender may treat the holder of the Note as the owner of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note may be overdue, and none of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Subservicer, the Lender and any agent of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Subservicer or the Lender shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided that payment on the Maturity Date shall be made, in each case, to the holder of the Note as of the preceding Record Date.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 General Indemnity of the Borrower. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, each Liquidity Provider and each Eligible Assignee and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective successors, transferees, participants and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling Persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or the use of proceeds therefrom by the Borrower, including in respect of the funding of any Advance or in respect of any Loan, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent determined by a final unappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its Affiliate, (b) non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Loan, (c) any loss in value of any Permitted Investment due to changes in market conditions or for other reasons beyond the control of the Borrower or (d) any tax upon or measured by net income on any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the exclusions (a) through (d) above, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or relating to:

(i) the grant of a security interest to the Lender;

(ii) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any Servicer’s Certificate, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other information, report or certificate delivered by on or behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false in any material respect or incorrect in any material respect, when made or deemed made;

(iii) the failure by the Borrower to comply in any material way with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Loan in connection with the Senior Participation Interest held by the Borrower, or the nonconformity of any Loan in connection with the Senior Participation Interest held by the Borrower with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iv) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Lender a first-priority security interest in all the Collateral, free and clear of any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien or Lien arising solely as a result of an act of the Lender, or any assignee of Lender;

(v) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Collateral;

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of an Obligor to the payment of any Loan (including a defense based on such Loan not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);

(vii) any tax or governmental fee or charge (but not including taxes upon or measured by net income), all interest and penalties thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of the making, maintenance or funding, directly or indirectly, of any Advance, or any other interest in the Loans or the Senior Participation Interest; or

(viii) except as permitted by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the commingling of the proceeds of Loans at any time with other funds.

Section 10.2 Contribution.

(a) If for any reason (other than the exclusions (a) through (d) set forth in Section 10.1) the indemnification provided above in Section 10.1 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) If for any reason (other than the exclusions (a) through (d) set forth in Section 10.1) the indemnification provided above in Section 10.1 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Servicer, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Servicer, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
