          Section 11.05 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lexington may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to Imperial PFC (any such notice being expressly waived by Imperial PFC) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by Lexington to or for the credit or the account of Imperial PFC against any and all obligations of Imperial PFC either now or hereafter existing under any Settlement Document, irrespective of whether or not Lexington shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Lexington agrees to notify Imperial PFC promptly after any such set-off and application made by Lexington provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Lexington under this Section 11.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Lexington may have under this Agreement or any other Settlement Documents of law or otherwise.
          Section 11.06 Severability.

          Section 11.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
          Section 11.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SETTLEMENT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, IMPERIAL PFC HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. IMPERIAL PFC HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IMPERIAL PFC AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.01 AND TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. IMPERIAL PFC AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LEXINGTON TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST IMPERIAL PFC IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. IMPERIAL PFC CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF LEXINGTON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT LEXINGTON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. IMPERIAL PFC HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LEXINGTON ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
          Section 11.12 Consent by Lexington. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary or in any other Settlement Document, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of Lexington shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which Imperial PFC is a party and to which Lexington has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by Lexington, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.
          Section 11.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.
          Section 11.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon Lexington for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Lexington in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, Lexington shall give prompt notice of such claim to Imperial PFC, and if Lexington repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Lexington or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Lexington with any such claimant, then and in such event Imperial PFC agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Settlement Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Settlement Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to Lexington hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Lexington.
          Section 11.15 Indemnification.
               (a) General Indemnity. In addition to Imperial PFC’s other Obligations under this Agreement, Imperial PFC agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Lexington and all of its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other applicable Settlement Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Settlement Documents or by any document executed in connection with

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Settlement Documents, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any breach by Imperial PFC of any of its covenants or agreements or any failure by Imperial PFC to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Settlement Documents or (v) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation of Imperial PFC contained or referred to in this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that Imperial PFC shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
               (b) To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Imperial PFC shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 11.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Settlement Documents.
          Section 11.16 Records. The unpaid Obligations (including fees and other amounts payable hereunder) shall at all times be ascertained from the records of Lexington, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
          Section 11.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Imperial PFC and Lexington and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by Lexington, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Imperial PFC and Lexington, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Imperial PFC shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lexington.
          Section 11.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Lexington shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Settlement Document would be usurious as to Lexington under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to Lexington notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Settlement Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to Lexington that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by Lexington under this Agreement or any other Settlement Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by Lexington on any other amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the other amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Lexington to Imperial PFC); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to Lexington

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by Lexington as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by Lexington on any other amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the other amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Lexington to Imperial PFC). If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to Lexington on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lexington pursuant to this Section 11.18 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Lexington would be less than the amount of interest payable to Lexington computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lexington, then the amount of interest payable to Lexington in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Lexington until the total amount of interest payable to Lexington shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable Lexington if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 11.18.
          For purposes of this Section 11.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the transaction between Imperial PFC, on the one hand, and Lexington, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.
          The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.
          Section 11.19 Confidentiality. Each of Lexington and Imperial PFC agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies the following (the “Confidential Information”): (i) this Agreement, the other Settlement Documents, the LPIC Policy and all terms and conditions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) all medical and personal information concerning any Underlying Life and, if applicable any Premium Finance Borrower, and (iii) all confidential or non-public information and data in whatever form, whether written, oral, electronic or otherwise furnished to it by the other party, in each case, to the extent it is (A) not already in the receiving party’s possession, (B) not available to the receiving party prior to its disclosure under this Agreement, the other Settlement Documents and/or the LPIC Policy, as applicable, (C) not in the public domain when transmitted by one party to another, (D) not published or otherwise becoming part of the public domain (through no fault of the receiving party) prior to or after transmission, (E) not known to the receiving party through disclosure by a third party (and not to the knowledge of the recipient of such information bound by any duty to the transmitting party to keep such information confidential) and (F) not independently developed by the receiving party; provided, that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such Confidential Information: (1) to such party’s own, and its Affiliates’, officers, directors, employees, agents, service providers, auditors, advisors, financing parties or other representatives who need to know such information in connection with such party’s performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under the

Settlement Documents or for purposes of managing such party’s, or its Affiliates’, respective business relationships with other parties involved in the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Documents or Transaction Documents or in connection with the remarketing or potential sale, transfer or other disposition of any Life Insurance Policy or beneficial interest in any Premium Finance Borrower that owns a Life Insurance Policy (provided, that, in each such case, they shall have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and directed to treat such information confidentially in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.19); (2) to regulatory authorities or other Governmental Authorities having or claiming jurisdiction or review or oversight authority with respect to such party or its Affiliates; (3) other than in connection with disclosures to regulatory authorities or other Governmental Authorities in accordance with the foregoing clause (4), as required by Requirements of Law, subpoena, discovery request, search warrant, court order or other legal or arbitral process; (4) in connection with any legal proceeding whose subject matter is related to the transactions contemplated hereby in which it is involved; (5) upon receipt of the written consent of the other party with respect to the disclosure of such information or (6) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 11.19.
          Section 11.20 Public Disclosure. Lexington’s identity shall not be disclosed by Imperial PFC in any press release or other public disclosure or in any offering materials or discussions with rating agencies or any life insurance company without the prior written consent of Lexington (which consent Lexington can withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) and (ii) the LPIC Policy, this Agreement and any other Settlement Document shall not be referenced by Imperial PFC in any press release or other public disclosure or in any offering materials or discussions with rating agencies or any life insurance company without the prior written consent of Lexington (which consent Lexington can withhold in its sole and absolute discretion).
          Section 11.21 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Settlement Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
          Section 11.22 USA PATRIOT Act. Lexington hereby notifies Imperial PFC that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the entities composing Imperial PFC, which information includes the name and address of each such entity and other information that will allow Lexington to identify the entities composing Imperial PFC in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. Imperial PFC agrees to take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver at its sole cost and expense, such instruments and documents as Lexington may reasonably require from time to time in order to enable Lexington to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act.

          (i) The exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not contravene any Requirement of Law or any contractual restriction binding on or otherwise affecting the Grantor or any of its properties and will not result in, or require the creation of, any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties.

The Grantor will, at its expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or reasonably desirable or that the Secured Party may request in order (i) to perfect and protect, or maintain the perfection of, the security interest and Lien purported to be created hereby; (ii) to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or (iii) otherwise to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation: (A) marking conspicuously all Chattel Paper and Instruments and, at the request of the Secured Party, all of its Records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, indicating that such Chattel Paper, Instrument or Collateral is subject to the security interest created hereby, (B) if any Account shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note or other Instrument or Chattel Paper, delivering and pledging to the Secured Party such Promissory Note, other Instrument or Chattel Paper, duly endorsed and accompanied by executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, (C) executing and filing (to the extent, if any, that the Grantor’s signature is required thereon) or authenticating the filing of, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, (D) with respect to Intellectual Property hereafter existing and not covered by an appropriate security interest grant, executing and recording in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, appropriate instruments granting a security interest, as may be necessary or desirable or that the Secured Party may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest purported to be created hereby, (E) delivering to the Secured Party irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Interests, (F) furnishing to the Secured Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail, (G) if any Collateral shall be in the possession of a third party, notifying such Person of the Secured Party’s security interest created hereby and obtaining a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, providing access to such Collateral in order to remove such

8

This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents.
          (c) For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Grantor hereby (i) grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned by the Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; and (ii) assigns to the Secured Party, to the extent assignable, all of its rights to any Intellectual Property now or hereafter licensed or used by the Grantor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Settlement Agreement that limit the right of the Grantor to dispose of its property and Section 6(g) hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party shall from time to time, upon the request of the Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which the Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in the Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this subsection (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents, the Secured Party (subject to Section 13(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to the Grantor all of the Secured Party’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever and at the Grantor’s sole expense. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Secured Party shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this subsection (c). The Grantor hereby releases the Secured Party from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Secured Party under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
          (d) If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of the Grantor or the Secured Party, and the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.

15


 

          (e) The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral and shall be relieved of all responsibility for any Collateral in its possession upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to the Grantor (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct). The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. The Secured Party shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Secured Party in good faith.
          (f) The Secured Party may at any time in its discretion (i) without notice to the Grantor, transfer or register in the name of the Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Interests, subject only to the revocable rights of the Grantor under Section 7(a) hereof, and (ii) exchange certificates or Instruments constituting Pledged Interests for certificates or Instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
     SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
          (a) The Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Secured Party’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Secured Party, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Secured Party may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by the Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or other

16


 

disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that the Grantor may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by the Secured Party shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, (iii) the Secured Party may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness), if permitted by law, for the purchase, lease, license or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof for the account of the Secured Party and (iv) such actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (i) upon written notice to the Grantor from the Secured Party, the Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and (iii) the Secured Party may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 8 hereof (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of the Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.
          (b) In the event that the Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, the Grantor will, at the Grantor’s expense and upon request by the Secured Party: (i) execute and deliver, and cause each issuer of such Pledged Interests and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party, advisable to register such Pledged Interests under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, (ii) cause each issuer of such Pledged Interests to qualify such Pledged Interests under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each jurisdiction, and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Interests, as requested by the Secured Party, (iii) cause each Pledged Issuer to make available to its securityholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and (iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Pledged Interests valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. The Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Secured Party by reason of the failure by the Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 9(b) and, consequently, agrees that, if the Grantor fails to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Pledged Interests on the date the Secured Party demands compliance with this Section 9(b); provided, however, that the payment of such amount shall not release the Grantor from any of its obligations under any of the other Settlement Documents.

17


 

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, the Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Interests and that the Secured Party may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. The Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen (15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of New York, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Secured Party may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.
          (d) Any cash held by the Secured Party (or its agent or designee) as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Secured Party (or its agent or designee) in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Secured Party, be held by the Secured Party (or its agent or designee) as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Settlement Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Secured Party (or its agent or designee) and remaining after the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents, shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
          (e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Settlement Document for interest on the Outstanding Reimbursement Amount or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
          (f) The Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any applicable requirements of law in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
          (g) The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that the Grantor lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause

18


 

delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
     SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.
          (a) The Grantor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party (and all of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from or relate to or are in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except, as to any such indemnified Person, claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
          (b) The Grantor agrees to pay to the Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Secured Party and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Secured Party), which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
     SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in accordance with the notice provision of the Settlement Agreement.
     SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute; Joint and Several Obligations.
          (a) All rights of the Secured Party, all Liens and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Settlement Agreement or any other Settlement Document, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Settlement Agreement or any other Settlement Document, (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
          (b) The Grantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by the Grantor, (iii) notice of any actions taken by the Secured Party, any Individual Guarantor or any other Person under any Settlement Document or any other agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this subsection (b), might constitute grounds for relieving the Grantor of any of the Grantor’s obligations hereunder and (v) any requirement that the Secured Party

19


 

protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Grantor or any other Person or any collateral.
     SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.
          (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Grantor and the Secured Party, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
          (b) No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Settlement Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Secured Party provided herein and in the other Settlement Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Secured Party under any Settlement Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any other Settlement Document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, the Grantor.
          (c) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect, subject to paragraph (e) below, until the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents and (ii) be binding on the Grantor and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Settlement Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Party and herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to the Secured Party shall mean or include, as the case may be, the assignee of the Secured Party. None of the rights or obligations of the Grantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.
          (d) Upon the date on which all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents, (i) subject to paragraph (e) below, this Agreement and the security interests and licenses created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor and (ii) the Secured Party will, upon the Grantor’s request and at the Grantor’s expense, without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (A) return to the Grantor (or whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct) such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
          (e) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be

20


 

effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
          (f) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
          (g) In addition to and without limitation of any of the foregoing, this Agreement shall be deemed to be a Settlement Document and shall otherwise be subject to all of terms and conditions contained in Sections 11.10 and 11.11 of the Settlement Agreement, mutatis rnutandi.
          (h) The Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Agreement any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
          (i) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
          (j) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
          (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

Execution Copy
INDIVIDUAL GUARANTY
     INDIVIDUAL GUARANTY, dated as of September 8, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented, modified or otherwise changed from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by ________________________________ an individual with a principal address at ______________________ (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Lexington Insurance Company, a Delaware property and casualty insurance company (“Lexington”).
WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, Imperial PFC Financing, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Imperial PFC”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent for the Lenders (“Ableco”), entered into a Financing Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented, modified or otherwise changed from time to time, the “Financing Agreement”), under which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to Imperial PFC on the terms specified therein;
     WHEREAS, Imperial PFC and Lexington are parties to an Omnibus Claims Settlement Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented, modified or otherwise changed from time to time, the “Settlement Agreement”);
     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Lexington has paid, at the direction and for the benefit of Imperial PFC, a portion of the “Settlement Amount” (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) to Ableco in full satisfaction of all amounts owed by Imperial PFC to Ableco under the Financing Agreement and all other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Financing Agreement);
     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Settlement Agreement, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver to Lexington a guaranty guaranteeing all “Obligations” (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) under the Settlement Agreement under certain limited circumstances set forth in this Guaranty; and
     WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that his execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty directly benefit, and are within the purposes and in the best interests of, the Guarantor.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to induce Lexington to enter into the Settlement Agreement and to pay the Settlement Amount pursuant thereto, the Guarantor hereby agrees with Lexington as follows:
     SECTION 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Settlement Agreement for a statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Guaranty and the recitals hereto which are defined in the Settlement Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein.

 


 

     SECTION 2. Guaranty.
          (a) The Guarantor hereby (i) irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (A) the prompt payment by Imperial PFC, as and when due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), of all Obligations from time to time owing in respect of the Settlement Agreement or any other Settlement Document, whether for payment of the Outstanding Reimbursement Amount, interest thereon (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Imperial PFC, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such proceeding), fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise, and whether accruing before or subsequent to the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Imperial PFC (notwithstanding the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), and (B) the due performance and observance by Imperial PFC of its other obligations now or hereafter existing in respect of the Settlement Documents (the obligations under the preceding clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and (ii) agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by Lexington in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by Imperial PFC to Lexington under any Settlement Document, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lexington or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

          (b) The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for (x) the Obligations and (y) the due performance and observance by the Pledgor of all of its other obligations from time to time existing in respect of the Settlement Documents.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the recourse of the Pledgee with respect to the liability of the Pledgor under this Agreement solely with respect to the Obligations shall be limited to the Pledged Collateral.

               (a) (i) All certificates currently representing the Pledged Shares shall be delivered to the Pledgee contemporaneously with or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time required to be pledged to the Pledgee, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement (the “Additional Collateral”), shall be delivered to the Pledgee promptly upon, but in any event within five (5) days of, receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Pledgor.

                    (ii) Within five (5) days of the receipt by the Pledgor of any Additional Collateral, a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by the Pledgor, in substantially the

3


 

form of Annex I hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”), shall be delivered to the Pledgee in respect of the Additional Collateral that must be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement. The Pledge Amendment shall from and after delivery thereof constitute part of Schedule I hereto. The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Pledgee to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Pledgee shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral and such Pledgor shall be deemed upon delivery thereof to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 hereof with respect to such Additional Collateral.
               (b) If the Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of the Pledgor’s being or having been an owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i) stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-oft) or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by any such Pledgor pursuant to Section 7 hereof) or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, the Pledgor shall receive such stock certificate, instrument, option, right, payment or distribution constituting certificated Pledged Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall segregate it from the Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Pledgee, in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
          SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
               (a) The Pledgor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization as set forth on the first page hereof, and has all the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.
               (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company power and authority, (ii) do not and will not contravene its certificate of formation, operating agreement, any Requirements of Law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its properties, (iii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties other than pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to any of its properties.

               (d) The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and the holders thereof are not entitled to any preemptive, first refusal or other similar rights (other than pursuant to a stock transfer agreement entered into with the prior written consent of the Pledgee). Except as noted in Schedule I hereto, the Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued shares of Equity Interests of the Pledged Issuers as of the date hereof. All other shares of stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
               (e) The Pledgor is and will be at all times the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral free and clear of all Liens except for the Lien created by this Agreement.
               (0 The exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on or otherwise affecting the Pledgor or any of its properties and will not result in, or require the creation of, any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties, other than pursuant to this Agreement or the other Settlement Documents.
               (g) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body, or any other Person, is required for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by the Pledgor, or the perfection, of the Lien created hereby in the Pledged Collateral, except for the filing in the office described in Schedule III hereto of a UCC financing statement naming the Pledgor as debtor, the Pledgee as secured party and describing the Pledged Collateral, to perfect the Pledgee’s security interests in items of the Pledged Collateral in which such security interests are not susceptible to perfection by possession of certificates or instruments, which financing statement has been duly filed or (iii) the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except, in the case of this clause (iii), as may be required in connection with any sale of any Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.
               (h) This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms.
               (i) This Agreement creates a legal, valid and enforceable Lien in favor of the Pledgee in the Pledged Collateral, as security for the Obligations. The Pledgee’s having possession of the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time results in the perfection of such Lien. Such Lien is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral in which the Pledgor obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected, first priority Lien. All action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such Lien has been duly made or taken, except for (i) the filings and recordations described in Section 5(g) hereof and (ii) the Pledgee’s having possession of certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral after the date hereof.
               (j) The partnership interests or membership interests of each Pledged Issuer are (i) securities for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC, (ii) investment company securities within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the UCC and (iii) evidenced by a certificate.

               (k) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement does not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
          SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any of the Obligations (whether or not due) shall remain outstanding or prior to the termination of all Settlement Documents, the Pledgor will, unless the Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing:

               (b) at the Pledgor’s expense, promptly deliver to the Pledgee a copy of each notice or other communication received by it in respect of the Pledged Collateral;

6


 

               (i) not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the value of or the enforceability of the Pledgee’s security interest in and Lien on any Pledged Collateral; and
               (j) cause each interest in each Pledged Issuer controlled by the Pledgor and pledged hereunder to be (i) represented by a certificate, (ii) deemed a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and (iii) governed by Article 8 of the UCC.
          SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.
               (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
                    (i) the Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement or the other Settlement Documents; provided, however, that (A) the Pledgor will not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if the Pledgee gives the Pledgor notice that, in the Pledgee’s judgment, such action (or inaction) is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect to the Pledgor’s financial condition and (B) the Pledgor will give the Pledgee at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect to the Pledgor’s financial condition;
                    (ii) the Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest or other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Settlement Agreement; provided, however, that any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any dividend, interest or other distribution or payment which at the time of such payment was not permitted by the Settlement Agreement, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Pledgee, if such Collateral constitutes certificated Pledged Collateral, to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations; and
                    (iii) the Pledgee will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends,

7


 

interest and/or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof.
               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
                    (i) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Pledgee which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions and interest payments;
                    (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee may, at its option, exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and
                    (iii) all dividends, distributions, interest and other payments that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Pledgee as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
          SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral.
               (a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, the Pledgor (i) authorizes the Pledgee to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in the Pledgor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in the Pledgor’s name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Pledgee to file any financing statements required hereunder or under any other Settlement Document, and any continuation statements or amendments with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of the Pledgor and (iii) ratifies the filing of any financing statement, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, filed without the signature of the Pledgor prior to the date hereof.

               (b) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Pledgee as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof), including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment, distribution or other payment in respect of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the date on which all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents.
               (c) If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of the Pledgor or the Pledgee, and the expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Pledged Collateral.
               (d) Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while held hereunder, the Pledgee shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to the Pledgor. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Pledgee accords its own property, it being understood that the Pledgee shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. The Pledgee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Pledged Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Pledgee in good faith.
               (e) The powers conferred on the Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Pledgee to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Pledgee shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.
               (f) The Pledgee may at any time in its discretion (i) without notice to the Pledgor, transfer or register in the name of the Pledgee or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights of such Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof, and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

          SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
               (a) The Pledgee may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code then in effect in the State of New York; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral owned by the Pledgor or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral regardless of whether or not notice of sale has been given. The Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
               (b) In the event that the Pledgee determines to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, the Pledgor will, at the Pledgor’s expense and upon request by the Pledgee: (i) execute and deliver, and vote in favor of causing the issuer of such Pledged Collateral and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Pledgee, advisable to register such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Pledgee, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, (ii) vote in favor of causing the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify such Pledged Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each jurisdiction, and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Pledgee, (iii) vote in favor of causing each Pledged Issuer to make available to its securityholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and (iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things within its power as may be necessary to make such sale of such Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any applicable law.
               (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, the Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Pledgee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less

10


 

favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Pledgee shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. The Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen (15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of New York, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Pledgee may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.
               (d) Any cash held by the Pledgee (or its agent or designee) as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Pledgee (or its agent or designee) in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Pledgee, be held by the Pledgee (or its agent or designee) as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Pledgee pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the Pledgee against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Pledgee shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Settlement Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Pledgee (or its agent or designee) and remaining after indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations after all of the Settlement Documents have been terminated shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
               (e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Pledgee is legally entitled, the Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Settlement Agreement for interest on the Outstanding Reimbursement Amount or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the fees, costs and expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Pledgee to collect such deficiency.
          SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.
               (a) The Pledgor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee (and all of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees, costs and expenses of counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from or relate to or are in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except, as to any such indemnified Person, claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

11


 

               (b) The Pledgor agrees to pay to the Pledgee upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Pledgee hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
          SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Pledgor, to the Pledgor as specified next to such Pledgor’s signature below; if to Imperial PFC, at its address specified in Section 11.01 of the Settlement Agreement; or if to the Pledgee, to it at its address specified in Section 11.01 of the Settlement Agreement; or as to any such Person at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed (certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), when received or three (3) days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received, or (iii) if delivered by hand, Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier, upon delivery.
          SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee, all Liens and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Settlement Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Settlement Agreement or any other Settlement Document, (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
          SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.
               (a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Pledgee, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Pledgee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
               (b) No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Settlement Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further

12


 

exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Pledgee provided herein and in the other Settlement Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Pledgee under any Settlement Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Pledgee to exercise any of its rights under any other document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, the Pledgor.
               (c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
               (d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full or release of the Obligations after the termination of all of the Settlement Documents and (ii) be binding on each Pledgor and, by its acceptance hereof, the Pledgee, and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Pledgee and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without notice to the Pledgor, the Pledgee may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Settlement Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Pledgee herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to the Pledgee shall mean or include, as the case may be, the assignee of the Pledgee. None of the rights or obligations of the Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.
               (e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations after the termination of each of the Settlement Documents, (i) this Agreement and the security interest and Lien created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor, and (ii) the Pledgee will, upon the Pledgor’s request and at the Pledgor’s expense, without any recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever, (A) return to the Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (B) execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
               (f) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

               (h) ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS THEREOF, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLEDGOR HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

     This Release and Reimbursement Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) is entered into as of September 8, 2010 (the “Reimbursement Date”), by and among Imperial PFC Financing, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (including its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, “Imperial PFC”), Lexington Insurance Company, a Delaware property and casualty insurance company (including its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, “Lexington”) and Imperial Premium Finance, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (including its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, “Imperial Premium Finance”).
     Reference is made to that certain Financing Agreement dated as of August 7, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Financing Agreement”), that was entered into by and between Imperial PFC, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, including Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent” and together with its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, collectively, “Ableco”). Under the terms of the Financing Agreement and the Loan Documents, various third party fees and expenses, including Servicing Fees and bank charges (“Financing Agreement Fees”), were permitted and required to be paid out of Collections in the order and priority set forth in Section 2.05(d) of the Financing Agreement or otherwise by Imperial PFC out of its own resources. In addition, in connection with the Payoff Letter, dated as of the date hereof, from Ableco and acknowledged and agreed to by Imperial PFC, certain legal fees and expenses were required to be paid by Imperial PFC to Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP on or before September 8, 2010 (the “Legal Fees” and together with the Financing Agreement Fees, the “Third Party Fees”).

 


 

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
     Imperial Premium Finance, the sole member of Imperial PFC, paid the Third Party Fees on behalf of Imperial PFC prior to the date of this Letter Agreement (the “Advances”). Imperial PFC hereby agrees to reimburse Imperial Premium Finance for all Third Party Fees paid by Imperial Premium Finance through the Effective Date, as such term is defined in the Omnibus Claims Settlement Agreement between Imperial PFC and Lexington, dated as of September 8, 2010 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Such reimbursement, together with interest at the rate of [*] percent ([*]%) per annum from the date of each Advance, shall be made on the Effective Date.
     The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that the making of the Advances shall not constitute a default, event of default or Event of Default under the Settlement Agreement, the Financing Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, and other document executed and delivered pursuant thereto and the parties waive, to the fullest extent possible any claim or assertion that the making of the Advances constitutes a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under the Settlement Agreement, the Financing Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, and other document executed and delivered pursuant thereto.
     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Financing Agreement.
     THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

Re: Financing Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Reference is hereby made to the Financing Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Agreement”), among Imperial PFC Financing, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, including Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent” and together with its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, collectively, “Ableco”). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
     Ableco has been advised that the Borrower wishes to (x) repay in full and completely discharge the Obligations under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (y) terminate the Agreement. By its acknowledgment below, the Borrower (i) confirms that no Notice of Borrowing is outstanding as of the date of this letter agreement, and (ii) agrees that it shall not request, and Ableco shall have no obligation to fund, any Loan from and after the date of this letter agreement.
     The amount required to repay in full and completely discharge the Obligations under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents at or before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on September 8, 2010 is $63,976,942.31 (the “Expected Payoff Amount”) in immediately available funds, which, if not paid by such day and time, shall be increased by an amount equal to $29,224.90 per day in respect of accrued interest in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (such amount, after giving effect to any such adjustment, the “Payoff Amount”). The components of the Payoff Amount are described on Schedule I attached hereto. The entire Payoff

 


 

Amount shall be remitted by wire transfer to the applicable accounts designated on Schedule II attached hereto.
     Upon its receipt of the Payoff Amount, Ableco agrees:
     (a) to disburse such funds to the appropriate parties for immediate application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; and
     (b) if, at any time on or after the date the Payoff Amount is received by Ableco, Ableco receives from any Person any amounts relating to the Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, it will promptly, but in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, remit such amounts to the Borrower.
     Such day on which the Payoff Amount is received in the applicable accounts on Schedule II attached hereto on or before 12:00 noon (New York City time) shall be the Final Maturity Date under the Agreement.
     Upon receipt of the Payoff Amount in full as provided above:
     (i) the Obligations shall be repaid in full and completely discharged;
     (ii) the Agreement and each other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement (as defined below), the Backup Servicing Agreement (as defined below), the Landlord’s Waiver (as defined below) and the SunTrust Account Agreement (as defined below)) other than the Initial Servicing Agreement shall be terminated;
     (iii) the Borrower shall have no further obligations or liabilities to Ableco under the Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that obligations of the Borrower to Ableco that expressly survive termination of the Agreement or any other Loan Document shall survive termination of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents terminated in accordance with clause (ii) of this paragraph;
     (iv) Ableco shall automatically relinquish any and all of its rights with respect to the Master Participation Agreement, any Insurance Premium Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement, the Initial Servicing Agreement and the Borrower Operating Agreement (as defined below);
     (v) all Liens of Ableco in the Collateral and any other property granted to or for the benefit of Ableco to secure the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and be released;
     (vi) Ableco shall promptly thereafter return to the Equity Guarantor all materials (other than the Guarantor Security Agreement) delivered to Ableco pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(ii) of the Agreement, including, without limitation, the original membership interest certificates representing all of the membership interests of the Borrower owned by the Equity Guarantor and any accompanying undated transfer powers executed in blank and other proper instruments of transfer previously delivered to Ableco pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(ii) of the Agreement, in each case without recourse to the Agents, the Lenders or any of their respective

 


 

participants, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower;
     (vii) Ableco shall promptly thereafter deliver to the Borrower an executed Termination Direction Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, without recourse to the Agents, the Lenders or any of their respective participants, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower;
     (viii) Ableco or its legal counsel or other representative shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, promptly thereafter deliver and, where applicable, execute and endorse such agreements, documents and instruments evidencing or effecting the release of the security interests and Liens in the Collateral and any other property granted to or for the benefit of Ableco to secure the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested and prepared from time to time by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Ableco as to form and to substance, in each case without recourse to the Agents, the Lenders or any of their respective participants, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied;
     (ix) Ableco irrevocably authorizes the Borrower and its agents, representatives and designees to prepare and execute on Ableco’s behalf or to request or file UCC-3 termination statements (without Ableco’s signature to the extent authorized under applicable law) for each UCC or other filing relating to security interests and Liens in the Collateral and any other property granted to or for the benefit of Ableco to secure the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case without recourse to the Agents, the Lenders or any of their respective participants, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower; and
     (x) Ableco irrevocably authorizes the Borrower and its agents, representatives and designees to deliver a copy of this letter agreement to any person to notify such person of the foregoing, in each case without recourse to the Agents, the Lenders or any of their respective participants, without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
     As used above, the following terms have the meaning ascribed to them below:
     (1) “Backup Servicing Agreement” means the Backup Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof), by and among the Borrower, the Originator and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association;

Puglisi;
     (3) “Cash Management Agreement” means the Deposit Account Control Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof), by and among Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as successor

 


 

by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association), the Borrower and Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent for certain lenders;
     (4) “Landlord” means Commerce Realty;
     (5) “Landlord’s Waiver” means the Landlord’s Waiver and Consent, dated as of August 7, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof), by and between the Landlord and Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent; and
     (6) “SunTrust Account Agreement” means the Restricted (Blocked) Account Agreement, dated as of August 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof), by and among Ableco Finance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the secured party, the Borrower and SunTrust Bank.
     By executing and delivering this letter agreement, Ableco makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the Collateral or any other property granted to or for the benefit of Ableco to secure the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees that the Borrower shall have no recourse against Ableco or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Collateral or any other property granted to or for the benefit of Ableco to secure the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents or any portion thereof sold, assigned, transferred and reconveyed pursuant hereto.
     The Borrower hereby releases and discharges the Agents, the Lenders and each of their successors, assignees, participants, officers, directors, members, affiliates, advisors, attorneys, agents and employees (the “Releasees”), from any and all duties, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, obligations, claims, demands, accounts, actions, causes of actions, suits, and counterclaims, at law or in equity, that it at any time had or has or that its successors and assigns hereafter may have against any Releasee that arises under, or in connection with, or that otherwise relates, directly or indirectly, to the Agreement, any other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions of any such Releasee in connection with any of the foregoing. As to each and every claim released hereunder, the Borrower hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of any rule or law which provides as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR”.
     The Borrower hereby waives, as to each and every claim released hereunder, the benefit of each other similar provision of applicable federal or state law (including, without limitation, the laws of the State of New York), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by its legal counsel with respect thereto.

 


 

     The Borrower hereby agrees that upon receipt of the Payoff Amount, the Agents, the Lenders and their respective participants, if any, shall have no further (A) commitment to provide loans or other financial accommodations under the Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (B) obligation, duty or responsibility under the Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith, except as expressly set forth in this letter agreement.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this letter agreement shall terminate or otherwise impair the Obligations with respect to the indemnification and expense reimbursement provisions of the Loan Documents and the payment of all amounts owing thereunder (including, without limitation, Sections 12.04 and 12.15 of the Agreement).
     The Borrower shall pay on demand all of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Agents and the Lenders (including, without limitation, the fees, costs and expenses of counsel to the Agents and the Lenders) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement, provided that all such fees, costs and expenses incurred on or before the date hereof are included in, and shall be satisfied by the payment of, the Payoff Amount as of September 8, 2010.
     If any payment or transfer (or any portion thereof) to any Agent, any Lender or any of their respective participants shall be subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be returned or repaid, whether in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings involving the Borrower or otherwise, then such payment or transfer shall immediately be reinstated, without need for any action by any Person, and shall be enforceable against the Borrower and its successors and assigns as if such payment had never been made (in which case this letter agreement shall in no way impair the claims of the Agents, the Lenders and their respective participants with respect to such payment or transfer).
     THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
     This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. A facsimile or PDF copy of any signature hereto shall be deemed the original thereof and shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this letter agreement. The Borrower confirms its agreement to the terms and provisions of this letter agreement by returning to Ableco a signed counterpart of this letter agreement. This letter agreement may be amended, modified or waived only in a writing signed by Ableco and the Borrower.

 


 

     If the Payoff Amount is not received on or before 5:00 pm (New York City time) on September 10, 2010, this letter agreement shall automatically terminate and shall have no further force or effect.
[Signature page follows]

 


 

     This letter agreement shall become effective on and as of the Final Maturity Date when it shall have been executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and no other Person shall have any rights herein as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.

     11.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith. No covenant, representation or condition not expressed in this Agreement shall affect, or be effective to interpret, change or restrict, the express opinion of this Agreement. The titles to Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be interpreted to limit or amplify the provisions of this Agreement.
     11.7. Opt-in to Article 8.
          (a) Interests. A Member’s interests in the Company shall be represented by the Interests issued to such Member by the Company. All of a Member’s Interests, in the aggregate, represent such Member’s entire limited liability company interest in the Company. The Member hereby agrees that its Interests shall for all purposes be personal property. A Member has no interest in specific property of the Company.
          (b) Article 8 Opt-In. Each Interest in the Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the States of Illinois and New York, and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995 (and each limited liability company interest in the Company shall be treated as such a “security” for all such purposes, including, without limitation perfection of the security interest therein under Articles 8 and 9 of each applicable Uniform Commercial Code as the Company has “opted-in” to such provisions). The Company shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the transfer of the Interests. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Illinois (810 ILCS 5/8-101, et seq.) (the “UCC”), such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control.
          (c) Interest Certificates.
               (i) Upon the issuance of Interests to any Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall issue one or more Interest Certificates (as defined herein) in the name of such Member. Each such Interest Certificate shall be denominated in terms of the percentage of Interests evidenced by such Interest Certificate and shall be signed by the Company. “Interest Certificate” means a certificate issued by the Company which evidences the ownership of one or more Interests. Each Interest Certificate shall bear, in effect, the following legend: “Each limited liability company interest in the Company represented by this certificate evidences an interest in the Company and shall constitute a ‘security’ within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the States of Illinois and New York and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the

16


 

American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995 (and each limited liability company interest in the Company shall be treated as such a ‘security’ for all such purposes, including, without limitation perfection of the security interest therein under Articles 8 and 9 of each applicable Uniform Commercial Code as the Company has ‘opted-in’ to such provisions).” This provision shall not be amended, and no such purported amendment to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation.
               (ii) The Company shall issue a new Interest Certificate in place of any Interest Certificate previously issued if the holder of the Interests represented by such Interest Certificate, as reflected on the books and records of the Company:
                    (1) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such previously issued Interest Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed;
                    (2) requests the issuance of a new Interest Certificate before the Company has notice that such previously issued Interest Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;
                    (3) if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with such surety or sureties as the Company may direct, to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the previously issued Interest Certificate; and
                    (4) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company.
               (iii) Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Settlement Documents, upon a Member’s Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement of any or all Interests represented by a Interest Certificate, the Transferee of such Interests shall deliver such endorsed Interest Certificate to the Company for cancellation, and the Company shall thereupon issue a new Interest Certificate to such Transferee for the percentage of Interests being transferred and, if applicable, cause to be issued to such Transferor a new Interest Certificate for that percentage of Interests that were represented by the canceled Interest Certificate and that are not being Transferred. “Transferee” means an assignee or transferee. “Transferor” means an assignor or transferor.
     11.8. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify any Person who is or was a Director or officer of the Company, with respect to action taken or omitted by such Person in any capacity in which such Person serves the Company, to the full extent authorized or permitted by law, as now or hereafter in effect, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Director or officer, as the case may be, and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. These rights of indemnification shall not exclude any other right that any Person may have or hereafter acquire under this Agreement, any statute, agreements, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of these indemnification provisions shall not adversely

17


 

affect any rights to indemnification any Person may have at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any rights to indemnification shall be subordinate to any and all security interests and other rights (including the payment of the Obligations) in favor of Lexington pursuant to or in connection with the Settlement Documents.
     11.9. Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties signatory hereto. Both of the parties hereto agree that Lexington is a third-party beneficiary with respect to the Special Purpose Provisions hereof.

  Re:    Amendment of Insurance Premium Loan Sale and Assignment Agreements
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Reference is hereby made to each Insurance Premium Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement (each, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, a “Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement”) by and between Imperial Premium Finance, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Assignor”), and Imperial PFC Financing, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Assignee”). Schedule I attached hereto sets forth each Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement entered into by and between the Assignor and the Assignee; provided, that to the extent that the Assignor or the Assignee later discovers that any Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement entered into by and between the Assignor and the Assignee was inadvertently or otherwise omitted from Schedule I attached hereto, the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agree that (i) Schedule I attached hereto shall, promptly upon such discovery, be amended to include such Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement and (ii) this letter agreement (this “Amendment Letter”) shall apply with full force and effect with respect to such Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement as though such Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement were included on Schedule I attached hereto as of the date of this Amendment Letter. Any capitalized term used in this Amendment Letter but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement.
     Each of the parties hereto (i) acknowledges receipt of the Termination Direction Letter, dated as of September 8, 2010, attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Termination Direction Letter”), pursuant to which Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Ableco”), notified each of the Assignor and the Assignee that Ableco relinquishes any and all of its rights and obligations under each Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement; (ii) acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the Termination Direction Letter any and all of Ableco’s rights and

 


 

obligations under each such Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement have terminated; and (iii) desires to amend each Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement.
     It is understood and agreed that each Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement is amended as follows:
  1.   The second sentence of Section 2(m) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
      “An ‘Event of Bankruptcy’ means an Event of Default under Sections 9.01(g) or (h) of the Financing Agreement.”
 
  2.   Section 4(a) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
      Repurchase of interests for Certain Breaches. In the event of a breach of any representations and warranties set forth in Section 2(e), (f), (g), (h), (k), (o) or (v), which breach has a material adverse effect on the value, enforceability or collectability of any Insurance Premium Loan that is outstanding or the collateral (including any life insurance policy or beneficial interest in a trust) underlying any such Insurance Premium Loan, upon the earlier to occur of the discovery of such breach by the Assignor or receipt by the Assignor of written notice of such breach given by or on behalf of the Assignee, the Assignee’s interest in each such Insurance Premium Loan shall be repurchased by the Assignor from the Assignee and upon such repurchase shall terminate and be extinguished.”
 
  3.   The reference in the first sentence of Section 4(b) to “Collection Account” shall be deleted and replaced with the following: “Collection Account (as defined in the Onm bus Claims Settlement Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2010 (as such agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Settlement Agreement”), by and between the Assignee and Lexington Insurance Company, a Delaware property and casualty insurance company (“Lexington”))”.
 
  4.   Immediately following Section 4(b), new Section 4(c) shall be added to read as follows:
 
      Repurchase of interests as Exclusive Remedy. lf, under the circumstances contemplated under Section 4(a) hereof, the Assignor completes a repurchase of any Insur nce Premium Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 4(b) hereof, such repurchase shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the applicable breach.”
 
  5.   The references in Sections 4, 5(e) and 13 to “Collections” shall be deleted and replaced with the following: “Collections (as defined in the Settlement Agreement)”.
 
  6.   The reference in Section 5(a) to “the Loan Documents and the Transaction Documents” shall be deleted and replaced with the following: “the Settlement

3


 

      Documents (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) and the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Settlement Agreement)”.

  11.   Clause (i) of Section 13 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
      “any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Assignor under this Assignment Agreement, or any other document, certificate or report delivered by the Assignor hereunder that was incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or that the Assignor failed to perform, provided, that (A) with regard to any representation or warranty set forth in Sections 2(e), (0, (g), (h), (k), (o) or (v) that was incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made and that has a material adverse effect on the value, enforceability or collectability of the collateral (including any life insurance policy or beneficial interest in a trust) underlying an Insurance Premium Loan that (1) is no longer outstanding and (2) has not been repurchased by the Assignor pursuant to Section 4 hereof, then the indemnification obligation arising under this clause (i) of this Section 13 shall be for an amount equal to the Purchase Price set forth on Annex I to the related Assignment Agreement, plus any increases in the related outstanding principal balance of such Insurance Premium Loan after the Settlement Date and (B) to the extent the Assignor fails to comply with its obligations under Section 4 hereof with respect to any Insurance Premium Loan that is outstanding, then the indemnification obligation arising under this clause (i) of this Section 13 shall be for an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Insurance Premium Loan on the date of payment of such indemnification obligation, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date:”
 
  12.   Clause (ii) of Section 13 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
      “the failure by the Assignor to comply with this Assignment Agreement, the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), the Loan Documents, the Settlement Documents (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) or any Requirement of Law with respect to any Insurance Premium Loan or Life Insurance Policy:”

  13.   Section 14 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
      Amendment. This Assignment Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Assignor and the Assignee in writing with the prior written consent of Lexington. Each of the parties hereto agrees that Lexington is a third-party beneficiary with respect to this Assignment Agreement.”
     Except as expressly amended hereby, each Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement, as amended by this Amendment Letter, shall continue to be and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. This Amendment Letter shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. With respect to each Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement, (i) the amendments described in Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of this Amendment Letter shall be effective on and after the date of this Amendment Letter and (ii) the amendment described in Paragraph 1 of this Amendment Letter shall be effective on and after the Settlement Date of each such Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement.
     THIS AMENDMENT LETTER FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
     This Amendment Letter is the result of negotiations between the parties hereto, each of whom has participated equally in the preparation of this Amendment Letter, and each of the parties hereto agree that this Amendment Letter shall not be construed against any particular party on the basis that an ambiguity is construed against the drafter.

     (6) The Independent Professional Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Trust Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Trust Agreement or the Policy Loan Documents, unless some other Person acceptable to the Independent Professional Trustee shall have offered to the Independent Professional Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Independent Professional Trustee therein or thereby.

If the Independent Professional Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten calendar days

6

     (f) In the administration of the trusts hereunder, in the exercise of its rights and powers and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement, the Independent Professional Trustee: (i) may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and although the Independent Professional Trustee shall be responsible for all obligations of the Independent Professional Trustee hereunder, the Independent Professional Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the Independent Professional Trustee in good faith, and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected in good faith and employed by it. The Independent Professional Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons as long as no officer or agent of the Independent Professional Trustee has any actual knowledge that such opinion or advice is inappropriate or based on incorrect information.
     (g) Without prejudice to any separate fee and indemnification agreement, the Trust shall indemnify, protect, save and hold the Independent Professional Trustee, its officers, directors, shareholders and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) harmless against any and all loss, liability, obligation, damage, claim, penalty, tax (excluding any taxes on the

The parties hereto agree that Independent Professional Trustee will only take action as expressly provided herein or pursuant to written instructions received from a Lender under a Policy Loan.
     (o) Independent Professional Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall not have any obligation by virtue of this Amendment to expend or risk any of its own funds, or to take any action which could, in the reasonable opinion of Independent Professional Trustee, result in any cost or expense being incurred by Independent Professional Trustee, in its individual capacity.

CERTAIN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL TRUSTEE AND TRUSTEE PROVISIONS
          6.1. At all times when a Policy Loan is outstanding under any Policy Loan Documents, whenever this Trust Agreement or the other Policy Loan Documents provide that an action may be taken or not taken at the option, election or in the discretion of the Independent Professional Trustee (the “Elective Action”) (including, without limitation, the decision (i) to apply for and purchase a life insurance policy or to surrender, sell or otherwise dispose of said policy; and (ii) to enter into any amendment to any Policy Loan Documents), the Independent Professional Trustee shall only exercise such option, make such election, or exercise such discretion pursuant to written notice (the “Elective Notice”) received from the Lender under any Policy Loan Documents or its designee (notice of the appointment of any such designee shall be provided in writing by the Lender to the Independent Professional Trustee) for so long as any obligations remain outstanding under any Policy Loan Documents (a) stating that certain Elective Action may be taken by a specified date (the -Elective Date”), (b) listing the alternative courses of action that may be taken, and (c) directing a course of action. The Independent Professional Trustee shall follow Lender’s instructions contained in the Elective Action pursuant

10


 

to clause (c) above, it being hereby agreed that except in the event of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith in carrying out any Elective Action as so instructed, the Independent Professional Trustee shall not have any liability to any Person or entity (including without limitation the Lender and any Beneficiaries hereunder) for following the instructions contained in the Elective Action pursuant to clause (c) above. Any action by the Independent Professional Trustee shall be binding on the Trust and neither the signature of the Lender nor the Trustee shall be required to bind the Trust. The Independent Professional Trustee shall have no liability to any party for any decision of the Independent Professional Trustee absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and the Trust shall indemnify the Independent Professional Trustee and hold the Independent Professional Trustee harmless from any loss or expense incurred by the Independent Professional Trustee for any decision made in good faith and not tainted with gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
          6.2. In the event the Independent Professional Trustee receives any correspondence from an insurance company that issued any Policy, it shall forward a copy of such correspondence within five (5) Business Days to the Lender and the Trustee.
          6.3. Any cash, including, but not limited to any proceeds of any Policy, held from time to time by the Independent Professional Trustee shall remain uninvested.
          6.4. At such time when all obligations under all Policy Loans have been paid and satisfied in full, as evidenced by a writing from the Lender to the Independent Professional Trustee, the Independent Professional Trustee shall transfer any Policy and/or any Policy proceeds in its possession to the Trustee within a commercially reasonable time, and the Independent Professional Trustee shall have no further obligation with respect to the Trust.
          6.5. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Trust Agreement to the contrary:
     (a) In the event that a Policy Loan is outstanding, is scheduled to mature within 60 days (based upon the maturity date specified in the related Loan Application and Agreement and the related Promissory Note executed by the Trust) and there are insufficient funds in the possession of the Independent Professional Trustee to fully satisfy the obligations under the related Policy Loan, Independent Professional Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Grantor and the Beneficiaries of the Trust at the addresses provided in the Policy Loan Documents (provided, however, that if beneficiaries are listed by class, Independent Professional Trustee shall only be required to deliver such notice to the members of such class of beneficiaries identified in a written statement received by Independent Professional Trustee from the Grantor) stating (a) that such Policy Loan is maturing and the amount due (or projected to be due) on the maturity date thereof, as specified to Independent Professional Trustee in a written notice delivered to Independent Professional Trustee by the Lender, (b) the amount of funds in the Trust are insufficient, or otherwise unavailable, to fully satisfy the obligations under such Policy Loan and (c) that unless the Grantor and/or Beneficiaries contribute funds to the Trust, through the Independent Professional Trustee, on or before three (3) Business Days prior to the maturity

11


 

date sufficient to permit the Trust to pay such Policy Loan in full, that the Independent Professional Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to unconditionally and irrevocably transfer and assign the Policy to the lender under such Policy Loan (the “Lender”1) or to a designee of the Lender if such designee is specified by the Lender in a written notice delivered prior to such transfer and assignment to Independent Professional Trustee (the “Designee). If on or before three (3) Business Days prior to the maturity date of any Policy Loan the Grantor and/or Beneficiaries contribute any funds to the Trust, through the Independent Professional Trustee, the Independent Professional Trustee shall, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of any funds identified as being contributed by the Grantor and/or a Beneficiaries, pay such funds to the Lender. In the event that the Grantor and/or Beneficiaries fail to contribute funds to the Trust, through the Independent Professional Trustee, on or prior to such three (3) Business Day period in an amount sufficient to permit the Trust to pay all obligations scheduled to be due with respect to such Policy Loan on such maturity date (as specified to Independent Professional Trustee in a written notice delivered to the Trustee and the Independent Professional Trustee by the Lender or the Designee), each of the Trustee and Independent Professional Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to as soon as is commercially reasonably practicable thereafter unconditionally and irrevocably transfer and assign the related Policy and any cash or other assets of the Trust in the respective possession or control of each to the Lender or the Designee.
     (b) Following the maturity of a Policy Loan (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration following an event of default or otherwise), if (a) the Grantor and/or Beneficiaries have not contributed funds to the Trust, through the Independent Professional Trustee, on or before three (3) Business Days prior to the maturity date in an amount sufficient to permit the Independent Professional Trustee to pay the amount due on such Policy Loan in full at the maturity date, as specified to Independent Professional Trustee in a written notice delivered to the Independent Professional Trustee by the Lender, and (b) the Trust does not otherwise have sufficient funds to satisfy such Policy Loan in full, immediately following receipt by the Independent Professional Trustee and Trustee of a notice of default from the Lender and a written demand for the assignment or transfer of the Policy to the Lender or the Designee, each of Trustee and the Independent Professional Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to as soon as is commercially reasonably practicable thereafter unconditionally and irrevocably transfer and assign the related Policy and any cash or other assets of the Trust, in the possession or control of each, as applicable, to the Lender or the Designee.
 
1   For avoidance of doubt, the term Lender shall include any person that acquires a Policy Loan, either via purchase and assignment or via a participation interest in the loan.

Any funds in the possession of the Independent Professional Trustee to be transferred shall be transferred by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Lender to the Independent Professional Trustee.
     (d) At any time following the receipt of a written notice from the Lender stating that an event of default has occurred under any Policy Loan and requesting a delivery to the Lender or the Designee of the original related Policy and all amendments and endorsements thereto and any other documents related to such Policy, the Independent Professional Trustee is hereby directed to and shall have no discretion not to unconditionally and irrevocably deliver such original Policy and such other documents in its possession to the Lender or the Designee. If requested in writing at any time by the Lender after the execution and delivery of the change in owner and change in beneficiary forms referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 6.5, the Independent Professional Trustee shall execute all documents presented to it for execution by Lender to cause the relevant insurance carrier to issue a verification of coverage form indicating that ownership of such Policy and the beneficiary under such Policy have been changed to the Lender or the Designee.
     (e) After the transfer of the Policy and Trust assets as provided in Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.5, the Independent Professional Trustee shall thereafter arrange for any filings to be made or actions to be taken by the Independent Professional Trustee or the Trust, as directed by the Trustee or Lender, prior to the termination of the Trust, including without limitation, the making of any tax or other filings required by law as determined by Trustee or Lender. Upon the completion of such filing and the taking of such actions, the Trust shall, subject to obtaining the consent of the Lender and any Designee, terminate and the Independent Professional Trustee thereafter shall have no further duties, obligations or liabilities whatsoever to the Grantor or Beneficiaries hereunder or in connection with or relating to such transfer and assignment. The Independent Professional Trustee shall engage, at the direction of the Trustee and at the expense of the Trust, a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) to prepare any and all tax returns of the Trust that may be required. The Independent Professional Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the negligence or misconduct of the Accountants and shall only be obligated to (a) execute tax returns presented to it by the Accountants and file the same with the appropriate tax authorities and (b) pay the tax shown to be due on

13


 

such tax returns, to the extent of available funds in the Trust. The Grantor agrees to contribute sufficient funds to the Trust to provide for the payment of the Accountants’ tax return preparation fees and to pay any tax shown to be due on such tax returns, to the extent that the Trust has insufficient funds therefor. In the event that the Grantor fails to contribute sufficient funds to the Trust to allow the Accountants to prepare tax returns, the Independent Professional Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to prepare such tax returns or incur any expenses whatsoever with respect to their preparation. The Trustee hereby agrees to provide any and all information in its possession that may be necessary for the Accountants to prepare any tax returns.
     (f) The Grantor acknowledges that in the event that the Independent Professional Trustee is required to transfer and assign all of the Trust’s assets to the Lender under the circumstances described above in Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.5, the Beneficiaries shall receive no benefits under the Trust or any Policy owned by the Trust. Grantor and Beneficiaries further acknowledge that the Independent Professional Trustee shall not be liable for any transfer or assignment by the Independent Professional Trustee as described in Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.5.

     (b) Subject to Article V of this Trust Agreement, the Independent Professional Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Lender, cause the Trust to take such actions as the Lender shall specify in connection with the matters set forth in Article 5(a) of the Loan Application and Agreement and shall pursuant to such written directions cause the Trust to comply with the remaining covenants set forth in Article 5 of the Loan Application and Agreement.
     (c) Subject to Article V of this Trust Agreement, for so long as any Policy Loan remains outstanding, the Independent Professional Trustee shall cause the Trust to:

     (2) within one (1) Business Day of its discovery thereof, notify the Lender in writing of any breaches of the representations and warranties of the Trust under any Policy Loan Document.
          6.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Agreement, the following provisions shall apply to the extent any Policy Loan is outstanding and with respect to any Policy over which the Independent Professional Trustee has exclusive control as set forth in Article V:
     (a) During the lifetime of the Grantor, the Independent Professional Trustee may receive, as owner and/or Beneficiaries, the Policy and may apply for, purchase or enter into any agreement for the purchase of any Policy.

     (c) The Grantor shall have no incidents of ownership, interest or rights of any kind in or to any of the said Policies which may be included within the Trust estate, or any other property of the Trust. The Grantor hereby relinquishes all rights and powers in any Policy included within the Trust estate which are not assignable, and will, at the request of the Independent Professional Trustee, execute all other instruments reasonably required to effectuate this relinquishment.
     (d) The Grantor hereby authorizes and directs any insurance company issuing any Policy now or hereafter included within the Trust estate to recognize the Independent Professional Trustee as the absolute owner of such Policy, fully entitled to all options, rights, privileges and interests under such Policy.
     (e) In the event that the Independent Professional Trustee receives written notice that a Policy is being contested or rescinded by a life insurance carrier, the Independent Professional Trustee shall, within three (3) Business Days of its receipt thereof, forward such communications and all documents relating to such contest or rescission action to the Grantor and Lender.

     Re: Amendment of LPIC Services and Remarketing Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Reference is hereby made to the LPIC Services and Remarketing Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Remarketing Agreement”), by and between Lexington Insurance Company, a Delaware property and casualty insurance company (the “Insurer”) and Imperial Life & Annuity Services, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Company”). Any capitalized term used in this letter agreement (this “Amendment Letter”) but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Remarketing Agreement.
     Each of the parties hereto (i) desires to amend the Remarketing Agreement, (ii) acknowledges the commutation of the Policy pursuant to that certain Omnibus Claims Settlement Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2010, by and between the Insured and the Insurer (the “Omnibus Agreement”) and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of such commutation of the Policy, the provisions of the Remarketing Agreement relating to the Company’s presentation to the Insurer of opportunities to provide coverage under the Policy have terminated but that all other provisions of the Remarketing Agreement remain in full force and effect after the date hereof as amended pursuant to this Amendment Letter.
     It is understood and agreed that the Remarketing Agreement is amended as follows:
  1.   Each use of (i) the term “Covered Loan”, whether in the singular or the plural, shall refer to “Insurance Premium Loan”, as such term is defined in the Omnibus Agreement, and (ii) the term “Covered Policy”, whether in the singular or the plural, shall refer to “Life Insurance Policy”, as such term is defined in the Omnibus Agreement.
 
  2.   Section 1(b)(iv) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 


 

      No Remarketing Fee. The Company shall not accept any direct or indirect fee in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Life Insurance Policy or Beneficial Interests relating to an Insurance Premium Loan.”
  3.   The reference in Section 3(c) to “, after receipt of a Proof of Loss,” shall be deleted in its entirety.
 
  4.   Following the last sentence in Section 3(d) the following shall be added:
 
      “In addition, if the Company ceases to act as remarketing agent under this Agreement for any reason, the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Insurer and the new remarketing agent in connection with the continuing provision of remarketing services for Life Insurance Policies.”
 
  5.   Following the last sentence in Section 6(b), the following shall be added:
 
      “In addition, the Insurer may, by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Company, with or without cause, terminate all or any part of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or any part of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Company’s remarketing activities.”

THE COMPANY AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE INSURER TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE COMPANY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE COMPANY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. THE COMPANY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE INSURER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE INSURER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. THE COMPANY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE INSURER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
