The Company may, at any time, irrevocably terminate all (or any portion) of the Commitment by notice to such effect to the Lender.

SECTION 2.02. Borrowing of Facility Loans.

(a) Each Facility Loan must be requested pursuant to the Company’s delivery of a Facility Loan Notice, properly completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, to the Lender (with a copy to the Paying Agent). Each Facility Loan Notice must specify:

(i)

and must be accompanied by a certificate (a “Facility Loan Certificate”) duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, specifying in detail and certifying, (A) that such Facility Loan complies with the Facility Loan Limitations and (B) the Company’s calculation of:

(i)

the Borrowing Base;

Any notice of prepayment of the Facility Loans, whether in whole or in part, shall be irrevocable. The Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent the full amount of any voluntary prepayment of the Facility Loans in accordance with the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement.

(b) Mandatory. The Facility Loans shall mandatorily be prepaid in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement.

SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.05. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05(c), 3.02 and 3.03, each Facility Loan shall bear interest, for any day, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate.

(b) Interest on each Facility Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, including the Maturity Date. Interest due and payable on each Facility Loan on each Interest Payment Date shall include all interest accrued up to and including the day before such Interest Payment Date. Interest hereunder shall accrue, and be due and payable, in accordance with the terms hereof both before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Loan Document, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to the extent accrued interest on the Facility Loans is not paid in full on any Interest Payment Date, or the principal of the Facility Loans, or any other amount payable by the Company hereunder, is not paid when due, such overdue amount will (without limitation of the rights or remedies of the Lender or the Collateral Agent with respect to such default) accrue interest (both before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding) at the Default Rate until all such overdue amounts (and interest thereon) are paid.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Facility Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Company without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document, or further action or consent of the Company.

(e) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Company or any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document.

(f) The Lender will promptly notify the Company of (i) the implementation of a Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05 (or pursuant to any capitalized term used in this Section 2.05 or in any such capitalized term) including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from the Company or any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document.

SECTION 2.06. Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of fees and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Facility Loan for the day on which the Facility Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Facility Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Facility Loan or such portion is paid. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and shall be notified by the Lender to the Company pursuant to Section 2.15 of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement.

The Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error of the amount of the Facility Loans made to the Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Facility Obligations.

The Lender (or the Notes Registrar, if such Facility Note is held by the Notes Registrar) may attach schedules to the Facility Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Facility Loans and payments made with respect thereto.

(b) Entries made in good faith by the Lender in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to the Lender, under this Agreement and the other Facility Loan Documents; provided that the failure of the Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Facility Loan Documents.

All payments to be made by the Company shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except to the extent that any such payments are made through distributions in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement, all payments by or on behalf of the Company hereunder shall be made to the Lender at its Lender’s Account, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.

SECTION 6.03. Books and Records; Compliance Reviews.

(a) The Company shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, at all times, a complete and accurate set of books and records regarding the Borrowing Base and any calculation set forth in any Facility Loan Certificate, provided that the Company shall not be responsible for any omission or inaccuracy of such books or records with respect to information prior to the Closing Date that would not have been discovered and corrected as of the applicable date by a prudent financial institution. The Company shall cause all of the books and records described in the preceding sentence to be maintained and retained until the Retention Date. The Company shall make all such books and records available (including to make copies of and extracts from the same) for inspection by the Lender or its representatives (including any Governmental Authority) and agents (including any independent contractors) at the offices of the Company at reasonable times during normal business hours on any Business Day, in each instance upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Company (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no prior notice is required). Upon request by the Lender, the Company, at the sole cost and expense of the Lender (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case at the Company’s sole cost and expense), promptly shall send copies (the number of copies of which shall be reasonable) of such books and records to the Lender. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Lender with reasonable advance notice of any Grantor’s intention to destroy or dispose of any documents or files relating to the Borrowing Base or any calculation set forth in any Facility Loan Certificate and, upon the request of the Lender, shall allow the Lender, at its own expense (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case at the Company’s sole cost and expense), to recover the same from the Company. No books or records required to be kept and maintained pursuant to this Section may be destroyed or disposed of at any time on or prior to the Retention Date without the prior written consent of the Lender.

(b) Until the Retention Date, the Company shall (i) allow the Lender to cause such books to be reviewed or audited by accountants or other professionals selected by the Lender and (ii) allow the Lender and any of its representatives (including independent contractors) to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts (of the Grantors or any Servicer with respect to any Grantor), as they relate to the Borrowing Base or any calculation set forth in any Facility Loan Certificate with the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants (and by this provision the Company hereby authorizes such professionals to discuss such affairs, finances and accounts with such representatives), any Servicer with respect to the Company and attorneys ((i) through (ii), collectively, a “Borrowing Base Review”).

Any out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Lender in connection with the exercise by the Lender of its rights in this Section 6.03 shall be borne by the Lender; provided, however, that any expense incident to the exercise by the Lender of its rights pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be borne by the Company (x) with respect to one Borrowing Base Review per year occurring other than during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) with respect to any and all Borrowing Base Reviews occurring (or commenced) during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Section 6.03 shall in no way limit the Company’s obligations with respect to the Failed Bank Records (as defined in the Purchase and Assumption Agreement) under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VI of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement).

SECTION 9.03. Liability of Specified Agents.

No Specified Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except that this clause (a) shall not apply to any such Specified Agent-Related Person’s own bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to the Lender or participant of the Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Grantor or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Facility Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Facility Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to any Facility Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

Each Specified Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Facility Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lender as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lender against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Specified Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lender.

SECTION 9.05. [Reserved].

SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Specified Agents.

The Lender acknowledges that no Specified Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Specified Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Grantor or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Specified Agent-Related Person to the Lender as to any matter, including whether Specified Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. The Lender represents to each Specified Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Specified Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Grantors and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company and the other Grantors. The Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Specified Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Facility Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and the other Grantors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lender by any Specified Agent herein, such Specified Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Grantors or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Specified Agent-Related Person.

SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Specified Agents.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless upon demand each Specified Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Grantor and without limiting the obligation of any Grantor to do so) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and reasonable litigation and similar costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, defending, asserting or preparing the defense or assertion of any of the foregoing), deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties and fines (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by it; provided that the Lender shall not be liable for the payment to any Specified Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from (i) such Specified Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (provided further that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07) or (ii) in the case of the Collateral Agent (and any co-agent or sub-agent appointed by the Collateral Agent, and any Specified Agent-Related Person in respect of the Collateral Agent or any such co-agent of sub-agent) , from the acts or omissions of the Collateral Agent (or such other Persons) occurring after the termination or expiration of the Commitment and payment in full of the Facility Loans (and any other Facility Obligations then outstanding), except to the extent that such action was taken in accordance with the direction of the Lender. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lender shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,

any other Facility Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Commitment, the payment of all other Facility Obligations and the resignation of the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

SECTION 9.08. Specified Agents in their Individual Capacities.

With respect to its Facility Loans, the Specified Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not a Specified Agent, and the term “Lender” includes the Receiver in its individual capacity.

SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Lender or any Specified Agent to exercise, and no delay by such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Facility Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Facility Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries; Receiver Facility Dispositions.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. The Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in clause (b) or (e) below. Any purported assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be void.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby to the extent provided in this Section 10.07(a) and in Section 10.07(d)) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent is hereby constituted an express third party beneficiary of Sections 9.01(b), 9.03, 9.04, 9.06, 9.07, 9.08 and 10.01 and this proviso (none of which provisions, to the extent they pertain to the Collateral Agent, may be amended or modified in any manner without the Collateral Agent’s written consent). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 10.07 and Section 10.15 hereof inure to the benefit of, and are enforceable by (without limitation), the FDIC in its corporate capacity, which is and shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and said Section10.07 and Section 10.15 may not be modified or waived in relation to the FDIC (in any capacity) without the prior written consent of the FDIC in its corporate capacity.

(b) In connection with any assignment by the Lender, the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Lender, the Company and the Paying Agent an Assignment and Assumption. Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof by the Paying Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.05 and 10.04, and Sections 11.2 and 11.4 of the Security Agreement, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Facility Note, the Company (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Facility Note to the assignee Lender.

In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any assignment by the Lender of less than all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, prior to or concurrently with such assignment the Lender shall have caused this Agreement to be amended or modified as described in clause (e)(ii)(II)(x) below.

(d) Following the expiration of the Availability Period, the Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or any other Person, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Facility Loans (owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company and the Specified Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Facility Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Loan Documents; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. The Company agrees that each

Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.05, to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that any such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 3.01, including Section 3.01(c); and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to recover greater amounts under such Sections than the Lender would be entitled to recover.

(e) Subject to compliance with applicable Law, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Section of this Agreement or in any other Facility Loan Document:

The Receiver may directly or indirectly assign, sell, transfer, participate, pledge, syndicate, securitize or otherwise hypothecate any Facility Note (each such action by the Receiver, a “Receiver Facility Disposition” and such disposed Facility Notes, the “Disposed Facility Notes”), together with all or a corresponding portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other PA Financing Transaction Document, including all or a portion of the Commitment and/or the Facility Loans and including any replacement notes described in clause (ii) below (such disposed rights and obligations, the “Disposed Obligations”):

(e) a bank, a broker-dealer or an insurance company, or an affiliate of such bank, broker-dealer or insurance company, in each case that is a regulated financial institution, or

The Receiver may not propose or effect more than two (2) Receiver Facility Dispositions, unless

(X)

an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or

(Y)

the Company consents (such consent, if the Receiver agrees to pay any related reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Upon the consummation of a Receiver Facility Disposition, and solely to the extent of such Receiver Facility Disposition, the Receiver shall be deemed released from any further liability or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Disposed Facility Notes and the Disposed Obligations.

For a period not to exceed 90 consecutive days in respect of any permitted Receiver Facility Disposition, the Company shall, and shall cause each other Grantor to, use commercially reasonable efforts to engage such counsel and other third parties and otherwise cooperate with and assist the Receiver, on a time-of-the-essence basis, in any actual or proposed Receiver Facility Disposition, as may be requested by the Receiver from time to time, including, without limitation, by:

(i) providing information and documentation required by securities disclosure and registration laws and as would otherwise customarily be provided in connection with the issuance or sale of debt by the Company, or in connection with a securitization of debt of the Company, including providing to the Lender for inclusion in any securitization offering document such publicly available information regarding the Company, its financial condition and any additional information reasonably requested by the Lender, and to deliver to the Lender any similar nonpublic, unaudited financial information, or as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Lender and which the Company is capable of providing without unreasonable effort or expense, and to indemnify the Lender and its affiliates for material misstatements or omissions contained in such information; provided, that the Company will not be required to make any disclosure that would violate Law or the Company’s obligations;

(ii) consenting to such assignments of, or amendments or modifications to the Facility Loan Documents as the Receiver may specify (subject to securing any required consent thereto of the Notes Designee) in order to effect or facilitate, or otherwise in connection with, such Receiver Facility Disposition, including, without limitation,

assignments to any issuing entity or any trustee for an issuing entity in connection with a securitization of the Facility Notes, provided that any such trustee shall either (A)(i) have or have a direct or indirect parent that has a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000) and (ii) satisfy the eligibility criteria for a trustee under Sections 310(a)(1) and (2) of the Trust Indenture Act (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement shall require any such securitization to be subject to or qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or (B) be an Approved Trustee, or

(II)

amendments or modifications

(x)

providing for an administrative agent or lead lender reasonably satisfactory to the Company, provided that such amendments or modifications also include

(1)

customary provisions for approving subsequent amendments and modifications to the Facility Loan Documents,

(y)

providing for, facilitating or otherwise appropriately reflecting the division of the Facility Notes into multiple promissory notes having the same aggregate principal amount, and the registration of transfers of such multiple promissory notes, and different owners of such promissory notes, or causing the Facility Notes to be DTC Eligible, or

(z)

relating to compliance with securities laws;

provided that, without the consent of the Company, no such amendment or modification will:

(A)

increase the aggregate principal amount of, or the interest rate applicable to, the Facility Notes,

(B)

accelerate the date on which any obligation of the Company under the Facility Loan Documents is scheduled or otherwise required to be paid, including without limitation by imposing additional mandatory repayments of principal (howsoever denominated) or by reducing the amount of principal otherwise permitted to be outstanding at any time,

(C)

impose additional conditions upon the borrowing of Facility Loans during the Availability Period;

(D)

impose additional conditions upon the voluntary prepayment of any obligation of the Company under the Facility Loan Documents,

(E)

include additional Defaults, Events of Default, covenants, or representations the inaccuracy of which (material or otherwise) would constitute a Default,

(F)

require additional obligors, collateral or other credit support,

(G)

otherwise increase in any material respect the financial obligations or covenants of the Company under the Facility Loan Documents (unless, with respect to this clause (G), the Company is indemnified against or otherwise compensated for, such increased financial obligations in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company), or

(H)

otherwise result in the terms of the amended or modified Facility Loan Documents, taken as a whole, being materially less favorable to the Company than the terms of the Facility Loan Documents as in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification, taken as a whole;

(iii) without limiting the generality of (and subject to) clause (ii) above, entering into an indenture or a fiscal and paying agent agreement, and other agreements as appropriate, with respect to the Facility Notes (or the multiple promissory notes replacing the Facility Notes as described in clause (ii) above); and

(iv) providing opinions of counsel (which counsel shall be independent, outside counsel of the Company), certificates and other closing documents of the nature provided in connection with the execution and delivery of the relevant Facility Loan Documents, or as are customarily delivered and reasonably determined by the Lender to be necessary in connection with any securitization of assets such as the Facility Notes, in form and substance satisfactory to the Receiver.

Without limitation of the foregoing, at the option of the Receiver as the initial Lender (and whether or not in the context of a Receiver Facility Disposition), the Facility Loan Documents shall be amended to provide for (i) the Facility Notes to be issued in registered form, (ii) the Company to keep a register in which the Company shall provide for the registration, and the registration of transfers, of the Facility Notes, and for the appointment by the Company of an agent (which may be the Paying Agent) for the purpose of registering the Facility Notes and transfers thereof, all at the Company’s expense, (iii) the Facility Notes to be made DTC Eligible, and (iv) matters related to the foregoing. In connection with any amendment of the Facility Notes to reflect the foregoing, the Company will execute and deliver (and, if relevant, cause to be duly authenticated) new Facility Notes reflecting such modifications thereto (in exchange for the then-outstanding Facility Notes).

Without limiting the generality of clause (ii)(II)(G) above with respect to the Company’s financial obligations, the Receiver shall (or shall cause the remaining parties to the Facility Loan Documents to) reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company in cooperating and assisting at the Receiver’s request with any Receiver Facility Disposition, including without limitation any restructuring, amendment, upfront, arranger, syndication, commitment and similar fees payable either in connection with the negotiation or consummation of a Receiver Facility Disposition or pursuant to the Facility Loan Documents as amended or modified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to reimbursement of (i) the fees and expenses of counsel or (ii) customary administrative agency, paying agency, custodial, trustee and similar fees if the aggregate amount thereof, when compared on a quarterly or other equitable basis, is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of such fees payable pursuant to the Facility Loan Documents as in effect immediately prior to such Receiver Facility Disposition.

(f) At the request of the Lender at any time (whether or not in connection with any proposed sale or transfer of the Facility Notes), the Company shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as practicable after such request of the Lender, make the Facility Notes DTC Eligible (which efforts shall include making any amendments to, or exchanges of, the Facility Loan Documents requested by the Lender and necessary in connection with effecting or facilitating such DTC Eligibility, executing any Letter of Representations and other documentation required by the DTC in connection with effecting such DTC Eligibility and securing CUSIP and ISIN numbers for the Facility Notes). From and after the date on which the Facility Notes have been made DTC Eligible, the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the Facility Notes as DTC Eligible unless otherwise agreed by the Lender.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company or any other Grantor, any such notice being waived by the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor and its, and each other Grantor’s, Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and any other Debt at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors and their Subsidiaries against any and all Facility Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Facility Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Facility Loan Document and although such Facility Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Debt. Without limitation of the foregoing, so long as the Receiver is a Lender hereunder, the Receiver is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any amount at any time owing under either or both of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and the Shared-Loss Agreement by the Receiver to or for the credit or the account of the Company against the principal amount of any Facility Loans then outstanding hereunder held by the Receiver, irrespective of whether or not the Receiver shall have made a demand hereunder and although such Facility Loans may be unmatured. The Receiver, as Lender, shall promptly give notice to the Company and the Paying Agent of any setoff pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, including the date and amount thereof, provided that the Receiver shall have no liability for any failure to do so. The rights of the Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Specified Agent or the Lender shall receive interest hereunder in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest (if paid to the Lender) shall be applied to the principal of the Facility Loans (of the Lender) or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Specified Agent or the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Specified Agent or the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Facility Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.11. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. This Agreement and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic or digital means, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No signatory to this Agreement shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic or digital means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic or digital means as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such Person forever waives any such defense

SECTION 10.12. Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Facility Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties hereto on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements among the parties hereto, written or oral, on such subject matter; provided that, the Confidentiality Agreement, entered into by the Company and affirmed on March 25, 2023 as part of the Company’s bid to acquire the Failed Bank shall remain in full force and effect to the extent provided therein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Facility Loan Document, as between the parties hereto the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender or Specified Agent in any other Facility Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Facility Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Facility Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Specified Agent and the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Specified Agent or the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that such Specified Agent or the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Facility Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Facility Loan or any other Facility Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

SECTION 10.14. Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, but such ineffectiveness shall be limited as follows: (i) if such provision is prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction only as to a particular Person or Persons and/or under any particular circumstance or circumstances, such provision shall be ineffective, but only in such jurisdiction and only with respect to such particular Person or Persons and/or under such particular circumstance or circumstances, as the case may be; (ii) without limitation of clause (i), such provision shall in any event be ineffective only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; and (iii) without limitation of clauses (i) or (ii), such ineffectiveness shall not invalidate any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that in the event that in any court proceeding, such court determines that any provision of this Agreement is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (because of the duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, or for any other reason) such court shall have the power to, and shall, (x) modify such provision (including, to the extent applicable, by limiting the duration or scope of such provision and/or the Persons against whom, and/or the circumstances under which, such provision shall be effective in such jurisdiction) for purposes of such proceeding to the minimum extent necessary so that such provision, as so modified, may then be enforced in such proceeding and (y) enforce such provision, as so modified pursuant to clause (x), in such proceeding. Nothing in this Section 10.14 is intended to, or shall, limit (1) the ability of any party to this Agreement to appeal any court ruling or the effect of any favorable ruling on appeal or (2) the intended effect of Section 10.15.

SECTION 10.15. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

(B) assert that venue is improper in the Supreme Court of the State of New York; or

(iii) agrees to bring any suit, action or proceeding by it against the FDIC (in any capacity) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or any other PA Financing Transaction Document exclusively in either the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and waives any right to remove or transfer such suit, action or proceeding to any other court or dispute-resolution forum without the consent of the FDIC (in the capacity in which it is a party in such suit, action or proceeding), and agrees to consent thereafter to transfer of the suit, action or proceeding to either the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia at the option of the FDIC (in the capacity in which it is a party in such suit, action or proceeding); and

(iv) agrees, if the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the United States District Court for the District of Columbia both lack jurisdiction to hear a suit, action or proceeding falling within Section 10.15(b)(iii), to bring that suit, action or proceeding exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and waives any right to remove or transfer such suit, action or proceeding to any other court or dispute-resolution forum without the consent of the FDIC (in the capacity in which it is a party in such suit, action or proceeding).

(c) Each of the Company and any Lender that is not the FDIC (in any capacity) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any final judgment entered against it in any suit, action or proceeding falling within Section 10.15(b) may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Nothing in this Section 10.15 shall constitute consent to jurisdiction in any court by the FDIC (in any capacity), or in any way limit the right of the FDIC (in any capacity) to remove, transfer, seek to dismiss, or otherwise respond to any suit, action, or proceeding against it in any forum.

SECTION 10.16. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company and the Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, each Specified Agent and Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
