BRT REALTY TRUST Date: January 11, 2006 By: /s/ Simeon Brinberg -------------------------------- Simeon Brinberg Senior Vice President and Secretary EXHIBIT 10.1 REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT -------------------------- THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (this ("Agreement") is made as of the 9th day of January, 2006, between BRT REALTY TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust, with offices at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 303, Great Neck, New York 10021 (the "Borrower") and NORTH FORK BANK, a corporation organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York having its principal offices at 275 Broadhollow Road, Melville, New York 11747 (the "Lender"). W I T N E S S E T H ------------------- WHEREAS, the Borrower or an affiliate of Borrower is and will be the owner and holder of certain loans set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto and made a part hereof and from time to time updated as set forth herein (the "Pledged Loans"), and the notes evidencing same (the "Pledged Notes"), which notes are or will be secured by mortgages encumbering real property (the "Pledged Mortgages", and together with the Pledged Notes, the Pledged Loans and the Pledged REO, as hereinafter defined, the Substitute Collateral (as hereinafter defined) and any other collateral now or in the future pledged to the Lender as security hereunder, the "Collateral"); and WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed to make available to the Borrower a credit facility (the "Facility") in the maximum principal amount of up to ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION AND 00/100 ($150,000,000.00) DOLLARS (the "Facility Amount"), provided, however, that at no time shall the outstanding principal balance exceed the Borrowing Base (as defined in that certain North Fork Bank Promissory Note bearing even date herewith (the "Note" and, together with this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith, the "Facility Documents"), payable in accordance with the Note, together with any additional sums due under the terms of the Note and this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of ten ($10.00) dollars, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender that: 1. The Borrower will pay the amounts due with respect to the Facility as provided herein and in the Note. 2. A. The Borrower will keep in effect such insurance with respect to the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably require and shall pay the premiums for such insurance as same become due and payable. All policies of insurance (the "Policies") shall be issued by an insurer acceptable to the Lender. The Borrower will assign and deliver the Policies to the Lender. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each of the Policies the Borrower will deliver to the Lender satisfactory evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies. Sums paid to the Lender by any insurer shall be retained and applied by the Lender toward payment of the sums due with respect to the Facility in such priority and proportions as the Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. If the Lender shall receive and retain such insurance money, the then-outstanding amount due with respect to the Facility shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received after expenses of collection and retained by the Lender and actually applied by the Lender in reduction of the outstanding amount of the Facility. The Lender shall be entitled, in the event of other insurance and contribution between the insurers, to receive from the insurance moneys to be paid such an amount as would have been payable under the policy or policies held for the benefit of the Lender in case there had been no contribution. (b) The Borrower shall at all times cause the mortgagors under the Pledged Mortgages (each a "Mortgagor" and collectively, the "Mortgagors") to keep the properties encumbered thereby (each, a "Mortgaged Property" and collectively, the "Mortgaged Properties") insured in accordance with the provisions of the Pledged Mortgages, and shall provide Lender with evidence of not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of such insurance policies, and at such other times as Lender may reasonably request. In the event that the Borrower is at any time entitled, pursuant to the provisions of any Pledged Mortgage, to receive and retain the proceeds of any such insurance policy, such proceeds shall be received by the Borrower as trustee for the Lender, and paid to the Lender to the extent necessary to reduce the then-outstanding amount due with respect to the Facility so that same shall be no more than the Borrowing Base (unless the Lender shall agree to Substitute Collateral, as provided for in paragraph 8 hereof). If the Lender shall receive and retain such insurance money, the sums due with respect to the Facility shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received after reasonable expenses of collection and retained by the Lender and actually applied by the Lender in reduction of the sums due with respect to the Facility. 3. The Borrower will cause the Mortgagors to pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents and other charges, including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Mortgaged Properties, now or hereafter levied or assessed against the Mortgaged Properties (the "Taxes") as same become due and payable. The Borrower will deliver to the Lender, upon request, evidence satisfactory to the Lender that the Taxes are not delinquent. 4. In the event that the Borrower shall collect escrow from any Mortgagor to pay Taxes, insurance premiums, ground rents or any other sums payable by Mortgagor, or in the event that the Borrower shall require any Mortgagor to deposit any repair reserve, replacement reserve, leasing commission reserve, interest reserve or other reserve or escrow of any kind or nature whatsoever in connection with any Mortgaged Property, the Borrower shall cause all such amounts to be maintained in one or more accounts with the Lender (except to the extent that the documents executed in connection with the relevant Pledged Mortgage require otherwise). In addition, to the extent permitted under the Pledged Mortgages, the Borrower shall cause all tenant security deposit accounts with respect to the Mortgaged Properties to be maintained with the Lender. 5. In the event that the Borrower shall receive any condemnation or similar award with respect to any Mortgaged Property, such award shall be received by the Borrower as trustee for the Lender, and paid to the Lender in reduction of the sums due with respect to the Facility to the extent necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Facility so that same shall be no more than the Borrowing Base (unless the Lender shall agree to Substitute Collateral, as provided for in paragraph 8 hereof). If the Lender shall receive and retain any such condemnation award, the sums due with respect to the Facility shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received after reasonable expenses of collection and retained by the Lender and actually applied by the Lender in reduction of the sums due with respect to the Facility. The Lender may apply any such award to the repayment of the sums due with respect to the Facility whether or not then due and payable. 6. All sums due and payable under the Facility will, at the option of the Lender, become immediately due and payable, and no further funds will be advanced under the Facility, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) of the Borrower without the express written consent of the Lender, which may be granted or withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of this paragraph 6, a "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any event which causes Gould Investors, L.P. (acting through its general partner, its officers and/or its employees) to no longer control the management and operation of the Borrower, or any event which causes the current principals of Gould Investors, L.P. to own, directly or indirectly, less than 51% of the general partnership interests in Gould Investors, L.P. 7 No material modifications or amendments shall be made with respect to any Pledged Note, Pledged Mortgage or any other document executed in connection therewith (collectively, "Other Documents" and each an "Other Document") without the express prior written consent of the Lender, which may be granted or withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion. In addition, no extensions of the maturity date of any Pledged Loans shall extend such maturity date beyond six (6) years from the origination thereof without the express written consent of the Lender, which may be granted or withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion. 8. In the event that a default (other than escrow shortfalls in an amount not in excess of two (2%) percent of the unpaid principal balance of the Pledged Loan to which such escrow shortfall relates) shall occur under any Pledged Note, Pledged Mortgage or any of the Other Documents executed in connection with any Pledged Loans (after such default, a "Defaulted Pledge Loan"), and such default shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days from the commencement thereof, the Pledged Mortgage securing such Defaulted Pledged Loan, together with the Pledged Note and the Other Documents executed in connection therewith, shall be reassigned to the Borrower and the Borrower shall simultaneously be required to either (a) repay the principal amount of the Facility to the extent necessary to cause the outstanding principal balance of due with respect to the Facility to be less than or equal to the Borrowing Base or (b) replace the Defaulted Pledged Loan with one of the following (each, "Substitute Collateral") (i) a different Pledged Loan of equivalent or greater comparable value, as determined by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, which Pledged Loan shall (A) be secured by (x) a first Pledged Mortgage held by the Borrower or an affiliate of the Borrower (which affiliate shall execute and deliver a guarantee of the Facility in favor of the Lender and grant the Lender a security interest in such Pledged Loan) encumbering income producing properties located in the 48 contiguous continental United States or the District of Columbia (as held by the Borrower from time to time, the "First Mortgage Collateral") or (y) a second Pledged Mortgage or a wrap-around Pledged Mortgage held by the Borrower or an affiliate of the Borrower (which affiliate shall execute and deliver a guarantee of the Facility in favor of the Lender), or a pledged participation interest held by the Borrower in a mortgage made by the Borrower or a third party lender (the "Subordinate Collateral"), provided that, in the case of a pledged participation interest in a mortgage made by a third party lender, such mortgage would meet the requirements of this Agreement with respect to the qualification of such mortgage as Substitute Collateral if same were made by the Borrower, (B) not be monetarily delinquent (other than escrow shortages in an amount not in excess of two (2%) percent of the unpaid principal balance of the Pledged Loan to which such escrow shortfall relates) for more than sixty (60) days or otherwise in default, (C) not have a significantly impaired value (in the reasonable opinion of the Lender), (D) not have a term in excess of five (5) years and (E) not be made to a joint venture in which the Borrower or an affiliate is a member or venturer or (ii) a pledge and security interest in one hundred (100%) percent of the ownership interests in the fee owner of real property obtained by the Borrower as a result of the foreclosure of a Defaulted Loan (hereinafter referred to as "Pledged REO"). The Pledged Mortgage, Pledged Note and Other Documents with respect to any such Substitute Collateral shall (i) be prepared on standard forms (the "Forms") which have been preapproved by the Lender and (ii) be acceptable to Lender in all respects in its reasonable discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Lender accepting any such Substitute Collateral, the Lender will receive (i) the original Pledged Mortgage, Pledged Note, Other Documents, original title insurance policy or a certified true copy of the insurance policy or, if the title policy has not yet been issued, a copy of the marked-up title report, and evidence of property and casualty insurance (all satisfactory to the Lender in all respects in its reasonable discretion) with respect to the Substitute Collateral, along with a written explanation of all changes that have been made to the Forms in connection with such Substitute Collateral, which changes shall be subject to review and approval by the Lender and the Lender's counsel prior to the Lender accepting any such Pledged Loans for assignment; (ii) an affidavit executed by a knowledgeable representative of the Borrower, stating that such Pledged Loan or Pledged Loans being assigned are not in default except to the extent permitted herein, and setting forth the unpaid principal balance thereof; and (iii) an executed Collateral Assignment with respect to such Substitute Collateral, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B. With respect to any Substitute Collateral that is Pledged REO, the Borrower shall provide the Lender with (i) copies of all organizational documents of the fee owner thereof (certified as true, correct and complete); (ii) the Borrower's original title insurance policy or a certified true copy of the insurance policy or, if the title policy has not yet been issued, a copy of the marked-up title report with respect to such Pledged REO, which shall evidence that the fee owner thereof shall own fee simple title thereto, free and clear of all material liens, claims and encumbrances; (iii) a signed and notarized Pledge and Security Agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion), which Pledge and Security Agreement shall provide, inter alia, that the Pledged REO and the ownership interests in the fee owner of the Pledged REO shall not be sold, transferred or further encumbered; (iv) signed and notarized assignments of membership or partnership interests or stock powers in connection with the ownership interests in the fee owner of such Pledged REO; and (v) if the ownership interests in such Pledged REO are certificated, the original certificates therefor. The ownership interests in the fee owner of any Pledged REO are hereinafter referred to as the "Pledged REO Ownership Interests". The Bank reserves the right to obtain an appraisal of any Pledged REO, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, and to use the value determined thereby to determine the amount that will be included in the Borrowing Base as a result of the pledge of any such Pledged REO Ownership Interests. 9. After request by the Lender, the Borrower, within ten (10) days and at its expense, will furnish to the Lender a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth the principal amount outstanding with respect to the Facility, the rate of interest thereon, the date installments were last paid, the offsets or defenses thereto, if any, and that the Note and this Agreement have not been modified or, if modified, giving particulars of such modification. 10. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent made hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed given when postmarked, addressed and mailed to the address, as set forth above, of the party to whom such notice is to be given, or to such other address as the Borrower or the Lender, as the case may be, shall designate in writing in the manner hereinabove set forth. 11. The Lender shall assign any Pledged Note, Pledged Mortgage, Pledged REO Ownership Interests and Other Documents (i) back to the Borrower upon (A) payment to the Lender of an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal amount outstanding under the Facility (calculated exclusive of Defaulted Loans) to an amount not less than the Borrowing Base, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon or (B) delivery of Substitute Collateral meeting the requirements of paragraph 8 hereof to the Lender and the acceptance of same by the Lender or (ii) to or at the direction of the Mortgagor, upon the payment to the Lender of all amounts due with respect to the applicable Pledged Loans. The Borrower will pay the Lender's reasonable expenses in connection with such assignment, including, but not limited to, recording charges and reasonable attorneys fees. 12. If any law or ordinance is enacted or adopted which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Note, this Agreement or the Facility, the Borrower will pay such tax with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event that the Lender shall be advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by the Borrower would be unlawful, taxable to the Lender or unenforceable or would provide the basis for a defense of usury, then and in that event the Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare all amounts then outstanding with respect to the Facility immediately due and payable and to refuse to make any additional advances with respect to the Facility. 13. If at any time the United States of America, any state thereof or any subdivision of any such state shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Agreement, or shall impose any other tax or charge on the same, the Borrower will pay for the same with interest and penalties thereon, if any. 14.

The Borrower will observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Collateral. 16.

(p) The Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages and the Other Documents and the provisions thereof have not been amended, modified or altered in any manner whatsoever. (q) The Borrower knows of no fact or circumstance which would affect the enforceability, validity or priority of the Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages or the Other Documents, other than those facts or circumstances set forth in the title policies, if any, insuring the Pledged Mortgages and the lien thereof or which would affect the ability of the Owner(s) and any other person or parties liable under the Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages and the Other Documents to continue to perform and observe the terms, covenants and provisions of the Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages and any Other Documents.

The Borrower further agrees to provide the Lender with such information as the Lender may from time to time request with respect to the location of any of its respective places of business. In addition, the Lender will be notified promptly in writing of any change in its legal name, its jurisdiction or form of organization, or the location of any office where records concerning any of the accounts that constitute a portion of the Collateral are maintained or of a change in location of the Borrower's principal place of business. (g) The Borrower shall notify the Lender of the occurrence of any material default under the Pledged Notes and/or the Pledged Mortgages or of the occurrence of any event, which but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a material default under the Pledged Notes and/or the Pledged Mortgages, on the same day that the Borrower shall first be given notice of or shall first become aware of the occurrence of any such default or event and the Borrower shall immediately upon request by the Lender give any notice which shall be required to cause any such event to constitute a default under the Pledged Notes and/or the Pledged Mortgages (any such default or event being hereinafter referred to as a "Collateral Event of Default"). (h) The Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Lender, enter into any agreement, which shall materially adversely affect the Collateral or which shall release from the lien of the Pledged Mortgages any portion of any Mortgaged Property or which shall release any party, now or hereafter liable or guaranteeing the payment of any portion of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Pledged Notes and the Pledged Mortgages or performance of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages or the Other Documents or which shall release any other security of any nature whatsoever, now or hereafter, held by the Borrower for the payment of any portion of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Pledged Notes and the Pledged Mortgages. (i) At all times throughout the term hereof, the Borrower shall maintain cash or readily marketable securities (net of margin loans due to brokers) equal to not less than Fifteen Million and 00/100 ($15,000,000.00) Dollars, of which the cash portion shall be not less than the greater of (i) sixty six and two thirds (66.67%) percent of the Borrower's operating expenses for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (net of advisor's fees and non-cash items) or (ii) Two Million and 00/100 ($2,000,000.00) Dollars. At all times throughout the term hereof, the Borrower shall not have any other credit facilities (other than the Facility contemplated hereby) other than margin investment accounts. (j) Until the earlier of (i) the date that the Borrower shall obtain any additional equity financing or (ii) May 1, 2006, the Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00. From and after the earlier of (i) the date that the Borrower shall obtain an additional equity financing or (ii) May 1, 2006, the Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00 for the previous four (4) quarters. "Debt Service Coverage Ratio" shall mean, for any fiscal quarter, the ratio of (a) net income, plus, to the extent deducted in determining net income, the sum of (A) interest expense, and (B) all depreciation and amortization expenses or charges to (b) the sum of (i) interest expense plus (ii) the scheduled installments of principal on all indebtedness (including capital leases) having a final maturity of one year or more from the date of incurrence thereof and the outstanding principal amount of the Pledged Loans. All of the foregoing categories shall be determined with respect to the Borrower in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis and shall be calculated (without duplication) on a quarterly basis on a rolling four (4) fiscal quarter basis. (k) On the date hereof, and until the earlier of (i) the date that the Borrower shall obtain any additional equity financing or (ii) May 1, 2006, the Borrower shall not permit its ratio of shareholder equity to the aggregate of its outstanding credit facility amounts and its margin loan debt, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis on a quarterly basis, to be less than 0.8:1.00.

(l) The Borrower shall on the date hereof increase its reserve for loan losses to no less than 0.5% of its outstanding portfolio of Loans for purposes of making the calculations under this paragraph 19, and shall maintain such reserve at such increased amount until the Facility is repaid in full and closed. (m) Borrower shall deliver to the Lender on a quarterly basis, and at other times within ten (10) days of Lender's request a certificate certifying the Borrower's compliance with the covenants set forth in the preceding clauses (i), (j), (k) and (l), which certification shall show the quantitative computation of the financial covenants set forth in those clauses. 20. The outstanding amount due with respect to the Facility, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due in connection therewith, shall become due, and the Lender shall have no obligation to make any further advances with respect to the Facility, at the option of the Lender upon any one or more of the following events (each, an "Event of Default"): (a) if any payment due hereunder is not paid within ten (10) days after the same is due; (b) Intentionally omitted; (c) if the Policies are not kept in full force and effect or if the Policies are not assigned and delivered to the Lender upon request; (d) if the Borrower does not furnish a statement, in the manner provided herein, of the amount then due and owing with respect to the Facility and the offsets or defenses thereto, if any; (e) if without the consent of the Lender any material modification, amendment or extension is made to any of the Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages and/or the Other Documents; (f) if, within ninety (90) days of the occurrence a Collateral Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have complied with the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof. (g) if any covenant, representation or warranty of the Borrower or of any person (a "Guarantor") guaranteeing payment of the sums due with respect to the Facility or any portion thereof or the performance by the Borrower of any of the terms, this Agreement or the Note made herein or in any such guaranty or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument furnished in connection with the making of the Note, this Agreement or any such guaranty, shall prove false or misleading in any material respect; (h) if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (i) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Borrower or of any Guarantor shall be appointed or if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute shall be filed by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of the Borrower or of any Guarantor shall be instituted and, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days; (j) if the Borrower does not reimburse the Lender upon demand for all reasonable expenses incurred in remedying any default of the Borrower hereunder or in appearing in, defending or bringing any action or proceeding to protect the Lender's interest in the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys' fees, with interest as provided herein; (k) the Borrower shall fail to comply with the requirements of paragraph 19(i), (j); (k) or (l) hereof or if for fifteen (15) days after notice from the Lender the Borrower shall continue to be in default under any other covenant of the Borrower hereunder or under the Note (not covered by any other clause of this paragraph 20); (l) if, after a default thereunder, the Lender elects to enforce its rights under the Note or any instrument which may be held by the Lender as additional security for the repayment of the sums due with respect to the Facility. 21. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in New York State or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as applicable, at that time. The Lender shall also have the right to set-off against any sums owed to the Lender and reduce to the Lender's immediate possession any and all amounts, balances, proceeds and funds held by the Lender on any account of the Borrower or its affiliates maintained by the Lender. Furthermore, in any such event, to the extent permitted under applicable law, full power and authority are hereby given to the Lender to sell, assign, and deliver the whole of the Collateral or any part thereof, at any time at any broker's board, or at public or private sale, at the Lender's option, and no delay on the Lender's part in exercising any power of sale or any other rights or options hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Lender's right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale or any other rights hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Lender's rights as against the Borrower in any respect. In addition thereto, the Borrower further agrees that (a) written notice mailed to the Borrower at its regular address given ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of any of the Collateral subject to the security interest created herein or prior to the date after which private sale or any other disposition of said Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice; (b) in the event of the sale or other disposition of any such Collateral the Lender may apply the proceeds of any such sale or disposition to the satisfaction of the Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses, and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Lender's taking, re-taking, holding, preparing for sale, and selling of the Collateral; (c) without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of Collateral shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if, among other ways, it is conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property; (d) the Lender may require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral, taking all necessary or appropriate action to preserve and keep it in good condition and make the Collateral available to the Lender at a place and time convenient to all parties, all at the expense of the Borrower; (e) the Lender shall have the right to: (i) prohibit the Borrower from taking any action otherwise permitted by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents; (ii) notify each of the owners, Mortgagors, obligors, lessees, custodians and other parties with respect to or interested in any item of the Collateral of the Lender's interest therein or of any action proposed to be taken with respect thereto, and direct one or more of those parties to make all payments, distributions and proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower with respect thereto directly to the Lender or its order until notified by the Lender that all the Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied; (iii) receive and retain all payments, distributions and proceeds of any kind with respect to any and all of the Collateral; (iv) take any action with respect to the offer, sale, lease or other disposition, and delivery of the whole of, or from time to time any one or more items of, the Collateral, including, without limitation: (A) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole of, or from time to time any part of, the Collateral, for cash, credit or any other asset or property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such consideration and upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and the Lender may purchase (the consideration for which may consist in part of cancellation of indebtedness) or any other person may purchase the whole or any one or more items of the Collateral so sold free and clear of any and all rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interest of the Borrower (which the Borrower has expressly waived); or (B) to postpone or adjourn any such auction, sale or other disposition or cause the same to be postponed or adjourned from time to time to a subsequent time and place or abandon or cause the abandonment of the same, all without any advertisement or other notice thereof; (v) transfer or cause the transfer of the ownership of all or any part of the Collateral to its own name and have such transfer recorded in any jurisdiction(s) and publicized in any manner deemed appropriate by the Lender; and (vi) in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any of the rights specified above, exercise or enforce any and all provisions of applicable law, whether as a secured party in possession of collateral or otherwise; (f) the Lender shall collect the cash proceeds received from any sale or other disposition or from any other source in connection with such collection and sale or disposition of Collateral and apply the same to the payment of all sums due to Lender under the Facility Documents in such order as the Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion; (g) any funds received from or on behalf of the Borrower (whether pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise) by the Lender and in the event any of the Pledged Notes are repaid to the Borrower, any funds received by the Lender as a result thereof, shall be applied to the following items in such manner and order as the Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) the payment to or reimbursement of the Lender for any expenses for which it is entitled to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents (including reasonable attorneys' disbursements, expenses and fees); (ii) the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations; (iii) the payment of the outstanding principal on the Obligations; (iv) the establishment or maintenance of any cash collateral required or permitted under this Agreement or any other Facility Documents; and (v) the payment in full of all other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. In the event any funds remain after satisfaction in full of the Obligations, then the remainder shall be returned to the Borrower or any other party entitled to same, subject, however, to any rights or interest the Lender may have therein under any other instrument, agreement or document or applicable law. All advances and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents may be recorded by the Lender, and such records shall be presumptive as to the existence and amounts thereof; (h) if the amount of all proceeds received with respect to any liquidation of the Collateral that shall be applied to payment of the Obligations shall be insufficient to pay and satisfy all of the Obligations in full, the Borrower acknowledges that it shall remain liable for any deficiency, together with interest thereon and costs of collection thereof (including reasonable attorneys' disbursements, expenses and fees), in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents; (i) the Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable law, any and all rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interest accorded to it now or at any time in the future under applicable law respecting (y) counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, abatement, reduction, and other claims and determinations against the Lender and any other person, and (z) notice, appraisal, evaluation, stay, extension, moratorium, marshaling of assets, exemption and equity of redemption, provided, however, that none of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents are intended to confer upon the Lender any right, power, privilege, remedy or interest not permissible under applicable law notwithstanding the foregoing waivers; and (j) the rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interest conferred upon the Lender in respect of the Collateral by this Agreement, the other Facility Documents and applicable law are solely to enable the Lender to protect and preserve the Collateral, as well as to realize upon it in accordance with the Agreement and the other Facility Documents, all in such manner as the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may elect, and shall not impose upon the Lender any duty or other obligation to exercise or enforce any such right, power, privilege, remedy or interest. Any exercise or other enforcement of any such right, power, privilege, remedy or interest, if undertaken by the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may be delayed, discontinued or otherwise not pursued or exhausted for any reason whatsoever (whether intentionally or otherwise). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender shall be under no duty or obligation to protect or preserve any of the Collateral, perform any obligation or duty of the Borrower under any of the Collateral, or take any action to mitigate or otherwise reduce any damage or other loss or to otherwise collect, exercise or enforce any claim, right or other interest arising under or with respect to the Collateral. 22. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, which shall then be uncured or unremedied, the Lender shall have the unconditional right to notify the Mortgagors of the security interest granted and assigned by the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement and to direct the Mortgagors to make all payments of sums due or hereafter becoming due pursuant to the Pledged Notes and/or the Pledged Mortgages directly to the Lender. The Borrower shall, upon request by the Lender, sign and consent to all notices and directions given by the Lender to the Mortgagors pursuant to this paragraph. The Lender's cost of collection and enforcement, including reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be borne solely by the Borrower. Such costs of collection and enforcement shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lender, on demand, and shall be secured by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. The Lender shall have the unconditional right, at its option, to apply all sums received by the Lender pursuant to this paragraph against the payment of sums outstanding with respect to the Facility in such priority and proportions as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem proper. The balance of any sums held by the Lender, if any, after payment of the outstanding Loans in full shall be paid over to the Borrower or any other party entitled to same by the Lender. 23. The Lender is authorized, at the Lender's option, and is hereby irrevocably designated as attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, as the Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in- fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in the Lender's own name, and the Borrower hereby gives the Lender the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without notice to or assent by the Borrower to do the following: (a) File any financing statements or amendments thereto in any jurisdiction the Lender deems appropriate with respect to any of the Collateral; and the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for the reasonable expense of any such filing, including reasonable attorneys' fees. (b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, which shall then be uncured or unremedied, ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, receive, compound, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (c) receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, chattel paper or other evidence of indebtedness, supporting obligations or letters of credit or other installment made payable to the Borrower in connection with any of the Collateral and to credit to the account of the Borrower with the proceeds thereof; (d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, which shall then be uncured or unremedied, file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which the Lender deems necessary or desirable, including, but not limited to, a foreclosure proceeding or action for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce or protect its rights with respect to the Collateral, including but not limited to any notification to any account debtors of the Borrower; (e) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and (f) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, which shall then be uncured or unremedied, (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and indorse any invoices, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents constituting or relating to the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate; (G) to license or, to the extent permitted by an applicable license, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any patent or trademark, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Lender shall in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion determine; and (H) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Lender's option and the Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender's lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do. (i) The Borrower hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that the attorneys acting pursuant to this paragraph shall lawfully, and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this paragraph 23 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. (ii) The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender's interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that the Lender actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for the Lender's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. (iii) The Borrower also authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time upon an Event of Default (i) to communicate in the Lender's own name with any party to any contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of the Borrower in and under the contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto, and (ii) to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in this Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral. 24. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and upon the Lender exercising its option to declare all sums due with respect to the Facility immediately due and payable by reason thereof, the Borrower will pay, from the date of that event, interest at the rate of 24% per annum (the "Default Rate"). Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 24 to the contrary, except with respect to monetary defaults, Lender shall provide Borrower with thirty (30) days written notice of defaults hereunder prior to the Lender exercising its option to declare all sums due with respect to the Facility immediately due and payable by reason thereof. 25. If the Borrower fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, the Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on the Borrower and without releasing the Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as the Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, the Lender being authorized to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interests in the Mortgaged Properties or collect the sums due with respect to the Facility. The cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees), with interest as provided in this paragraph, shall be due from Borrower upon demand made by the Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in remedying such default or in appearing in, defending or bringing any such action or proceeding shall be paid with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from the Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to the Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by the Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, with interest, shall be deemed to be secured by the Collateral. 26. The failure of the Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term of the Note or this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of the Note or this Agreement. The Borrower shall not be relieved of the Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of the Lender to comply with any request of the Borrower or any Guarantor to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Collateral, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by the Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note or this Agreement. The Lender may resort for the payment of sums outstanding with respect to the Facility to any other security held by the Lender in such order and manner as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect. The rights of the Lender under this Agreement shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of the Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. 27. If the Borrower consists of more than one person, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and several. 28. The terms of the Note and this Agreement shall be construed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to principals of conflicts of law. 29. Intentionally Omitted Prior to Execution. 30. If any term, covenant or condition of the Note or this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the Note and this Agreement shall be construed without such provision. 31. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. 32. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Agreement shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form. The word "Lender" shall mean "the Lender or any subsequent holder of the Note". The word "person" shall include an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority or other entity. The word "Collateral" shall include any portion of the Collateral or interest therein. The words "Mortgaged Property" shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. All references in this Agreement to the Collateral Assignments shall be deemed to refer to such Collateral Assignments as are now or shall be from time to time in the possession of the Lender. All references in this Agreement to Pledged Notes, the Pledged Mortgages and the Other Documents shall be deemed to refer to such Pledged Notes, Pledged Mortgages and Other Documents as are now or shall be from time to time in the possession of the Lender. All references in this Agreement to Pledged Loans shall be deemed to refer to such Pledged Loans evidenced and secured by those Pledged Notes, Pledged Mortgages and Other Documents as are now or shall be from time to time in the possession of the Lender. 33. This Agreement cannot be changed orally but only in writing by Lender and Borrower. 34. The Borrower hereby agrees that upon its failure to pay all sums due and owing with respect to the Facility on the maturity date the Borrower will pay to the Lender interest on the then unpaid principal at the Default Rate from the maturity date and until the actual receipt and collection of all sums due and owing with respect to the Facility by the Lender. This paragraph, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend this Agreement, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to the Lender by reason of any such default. 35. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ASSERT A COUNTERCLAIM OTHER THAN A COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT BY THE LENDER AND WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR IN ANY COUNTERCLAIM ASSERTED BY THE LENDER AGAINST THE BORROWER ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE NOTE, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE FACILITY. 36. This Agreement is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject the Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Note the Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Agreement and/or the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments toward the reduction of principal and not to the interest due hereunder. (THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed by the Borrower and the Lender as of the date first above written.
