The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any definition of or reference to any law, rule or regulation shall be construed as referring to such law, rule or regulation as from time to time amended and any successor thereto and in the case of such law, the rules and regulations promulgated from time to time thereunder, (c) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (d) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Credit Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, and (e) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Credit Agreement.

As used in the Loan Documents and in any certificate, opinion or other document made or delivered pursuant thereto, accounting terms not defined in Section 1.1, and accounting terms partly defined in Section 1.1, to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under Applicable Accounting Principles. If at any time any change in Applicable Accounting Principles would affect the computation by any Borrower of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in this Credit Agreement and (i) such Borrower notifies the Bank that such Borrower objects to determining compliance with such financial ratio or requirement on the basis of Applicable Accounting Principles in effect immediately after such change becomes effective or (ii) the Bank so objects, then such Borrower’s compliance with such ratio or requirement shall be determined on the basis of Applicable Accounting Principles in effect immediately before such change becomes effective, until either such notice is withdrawn by such Borrower or the Bank, as the case may be, or such Borrower and the Bank otherwise agree. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the computation of financial ratios and requirements set forth in this Credit Agreement by each Borrower shall be consistent with such Borrower’s financial statements required to be delivered hereunder.

(a)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the obligations and liabilities of each Borrower under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be several and not joint. Each liability or obligation incurred under the Loan Documents by a Borrower will be incurred solely for the account of such Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sole source of payment of each liability or obligation incurred under the Loan Documents by a Borrower shall be the revenues and assets of such Borrower.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Bank hereby agrees for the benefit of each and every trustee, director, and officer of, and each record and beneficial owner of any outstanding shares of, a Borrower (each a “Non-Recourse Person”) that (i) no Non-Recourse Person shall have any personal liability for any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document or other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto; and (ii) no claim against any Non-Recourse Person or any property thereof may be made for any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document or other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, whether for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or for any fees, expenses or other amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder or thereunder.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.2, the Borrowers may change the Pro-rata shares on Schedule 1 by delivery to the Bank of an amended Schedule 1 certified by the Borrowers, provided that the sum of all Pro-rata Shares shall at all times equal 100%, and immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default with respect to any Borrower whose Pro-rata Share is increasing shall have occurred or would occur.

(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Bank agrees to make loans to each Borrower from time to time during the period from the Effective Date through the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrower Commitment Termination Date with respect to such Borrower, provided that immediately after giving effect thereto, the Committed Facility Loan Balance would not exceed the Committed Facility Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

(b)       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including without limitation the terms and conditions expressed in Section 2.9, the Bank may make loans to each Borrower from time to time, in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, during the period from the Effective Date through the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrower Commitment Termination Date with respect to such Borrower, provided that immediately after giving effect thereto, the Uncommitted Facility Loan Balance would not exceed the Uncommitted Facility Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including without limitation the terms and conditions expressed in Section 2.9, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

(c)       The aggregate amount of the Committed Facility Loan Balance and the Uncommitted Facility Loan Balance for an individual Borrower shall not exceed $25,000,000 at any one time outstanding.

To request a Loan, a Borrower shall make a telephonic Borrowing Request to the Bank, not later than 12:00 p.m., Kansas City time, the date of the proposed Loan. Such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or e-mail to the Bank of a duly executed Borrowing Request duly signed by or on behalf of such Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify: (i) the requested date for such Loan (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the amount of such Loan, which shall be in an Approved Amount. Any Loan funded by the Bank pursuant to this Credit Agreement shall be allocated against the Committed Facility Commitment or the Uncommitted Facility Commitment in the discretion of the Bank, provided, at the time of the Bank making any such Loan, the Bank shall provide notice to the applicable Borrower indicating whether such Loan has been allocated against the Committed Facility Commitment or the Uncommitted Facility Commitment.

(a)       Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Scheduled Commitment Termination Date.

(b)       The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, without premium or penalty, the Commitments, provided that (i) the Borrowers may not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, immediately after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent repayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4 or 2.5, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans would exceed the Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.

(c)       The Borrowers shall notify the Bank of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election, the effective date thereof and whether such termination or reduction is of the Committed Facility Commitment, Uncommitted Facility Commitment or both. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable and any termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent.

(d)       The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time (but not more than sixty (60) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the then existing Scheduled Commitment Termination Date) request in writing that the Bank agree (the decision so to agree to be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank) to extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date by 364 days per each such request. In the event that prior to the then existing Scheduled Commitment Termination Date the Bank shall have consented to such extension request and all conditions precedent, if any, to such extension shall have been satisfied, clause (a) of the definition of Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall, subject to Section 8.2, be extended to the day which is 364 days (or such fewer number of days as the Borrowers and the Bank shall agree) following the day expressed in clause (a) of the then existing definition of Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such day). In all other events (including in the event that the Bank fails to respond to such request or, with respect to the Uncommitted Facility Commitment, the Bank exercises its cancellation rights under Section 2.9), the then existing Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall not be extended.

(a)      Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to such Borrower (i) under the Committed Facility Commitment, on the Maturity Date, and (ii) under the Uncommitted Facility Commitment, on the earlier to occur of (y) the Maturity Date and (z) any date of a demand made by the Bank for repayment (or the first Business Day following the date of demand if such date is not a Business Day or if such demand is made after 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on a Business Day) in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.

(b)      In the event that on any date, any Borrower shall fail to be in compliance with Section 7.7, then such Borrower shall for the Committed Facility Loan Balance within three (3) Business Days of such failure, repay its Loans and take such other actions as may be necessary such that, immediately after giving effect to such repayment and other actions, such Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.7.

Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, to prepay any Loan made to such Borrower in whole or in part. Such Borrower shall notify the Bank by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or e-mail) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., Kansas City time, three Business Days prior to date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Borrower, the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid. Each partial prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be in an Approved Amount. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest to the extent required by Section 3.1.

Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal of Loans, interest, fees, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Kansas City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Bank at its office at 1010 Grand Blvd, Kansas City, Missouri 64016, or such other office as to which the Bank may notify such Borrower. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Bank from a Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, interest, fees and other amounts then due under the Loan Documents from such Borrower, such funds shall be applied to the obligations owing by such Borrower to the Bank: (i) first, to payment of such amounts (excluding principal, interest and fees), in such order as the Bank may choose, (ii) second, to such interest and fees then due, and (iii) third, to such principal of the Loans then due, as determined by Bank in its sole discretion. All amounts paid under the Loan Documents shall not be refundable under any circumstances, except as provided in Section 3.4(f). 

The Loans made by the Bank to each Borrower shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Bank in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Bank shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Bank to such Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of such Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing by it under the Loan Documents. Upon the request of the Bank, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Bank one of more Notes, which shall evidence the Loans in addition to such accounts or records.

(a)    At any time and from time to time, the Borrowers may, at their sole cost, expense and effort, request that (i) one or more corporations or trusts be added as a “Company” for all purposes of the Loan Documents (each a “New Company”), and/or (ii) one or more Series of one or more Companies be added hereto as a “Fund” for all purposes of the Loan Documents (each a “New Fund”), in each case by submitting to the Bank a proposed Joinder Agreement executed by each Borrower and by each New Company or each Related Company of each New Fund on behalf of and for the account of such New Fund and, upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Bank, (x) each such New Company shall be deemed to be a “Company” for all purposes under the Loan Documents, (y) each such New Fund shall be deemed to be a “Fund” for all purposes of the Loan Documents, and (z) Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended and restated in the form of Schedule 1 to such Joinder Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the parties hereto agree that the Bank may (in its sole and absolute discretion) condition its execution and delivery of each proposed Joinder Agreement upon (1) such New Company or New Fund, as applicable satisfying its then-effective credit criteria, (2) the completion of its due diligence with respect to each such New Company or New Fund, (3) its receipt of such internal credit approval, acceptable lien search results, certificates, financial statements, control agreements, opinions of counsel and other documents and information as the Bank may require, (4) the payment of any fee charged by, or cost or expense of, the Bank (which the parties agree such fee charged by the Bank may not exceed $2,500 per New Company or New Fund), and (5) such other criteria as the Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose.

(b)    At any time and from time to time the Borrowers may elect to remove any Company (each a “Departing Company”) as a “Company” or any Fund (each a “Departing Fund”) as a “Fund”, in each case by submitting a Removal Notice executed by the Borrowers to the Bank, provided that such removal shall not be effective (i) until the “Removal Date” specified in such Removal Notice (which shall not be fewer than three (3) Business Days after the date of receipt of such Removal Notice by the Bank, unless the Bank shall otherwise agree in its sole and absolute discretion), (ii) unless on or prior to such Removal Date, the Bank shall have received payment of the following through and including such Removal Date: (w) the outstanding principal balance of all Loans made to the Borrower or Borrowers composed of such Company or such Fund, (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (y) all fees and expenses owing under the Loan Documents by the Borrower or Borrowers composed of such Company or such Fund, and (z) all other monetary obligations owing under the Loan Documents by the Borrower or Borrowers composed of such Company or such Fund, and (iii) unless the sum of all Pro-rata Shares of all Borrowers (other than the Borrower or Borrowers consisting of such Departing Company or Departing Fund) set forth on Schedule 1 to such Removal Notice shall equal 100%. Upon the effectiveness of a Removal Notice as herein provided, (I) each such Departing Company shall cease to be a “Company” for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than such provisions thereof that by their terms survive the termination or other expiration thereof), each such Departing Fund shall cease to be a “Fund” for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than such provisions thereof that by their terms survive the termination or other expiration thereof), (II) the Related Company of each Departing Fund, acting on behalf of and for the account of each such Departing Fund, shall cease to be a “Borrower” for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than such provisions thereof that by their terms survive the termination or other expiration thereof), and (III) Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended and restated in the form of Schedule 1 to such Removal Notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any other agreements or understandings involving any of the Borrowers and the Bank, (a) the Uncommitted Facility Commitment and the Uncommitted Facility Loan Balance under this Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents are unconditionally cancellable by the Bank at any time, with or without prior notice, in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, and (b) the Bank may, at any time, with or without prior notice, in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, (i) refuse to extend credit to any of the Borrowers under the Uncommitted Facility Commitment and (ii) accelerate and demand immediate repayment of any amount then outstanding of any Uncommitted Facility Loan Balance. Nothing in this Section 2.9 shall in any manner be applicable to the Committed Facility Commitment or any Committed Facility Loan Balance.

(a)       Each Loan made to a Borrower shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, provided that all overdue amounts payable under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any overdue principal of the Loans (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any overdue interest on the Loans and any overdue fees) shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but not including the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) plus the Applicable Rate until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(b)       Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the earlier to occur of (i) the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) the Maturity Date, and (iii) with respect to the Uncommitted Facility Loan Balance, the date of any demand (or the first Business Day following the date of demand if such date is not a Business Day) made by the Bank in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the day a Loan is made but excluding the date of repayment).

(a)       Each Borrower shall pay to the Bank such Borrower’s Pro-rata Share of a commitment fee which shall accrue during the period from and including the date on which this Credit Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 9.6 to but excluding the Agreement Commitment Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount of the excess of the Committed Facility Commitment over the Committed Facility Loan Balance. Accrued and unpaid commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, each date on which the Committed Facility Commitment is reduced and on the date on which the Committed Facility Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). There shall be no commitment fees payable on the Uncommitted Facility Commitment.

(b)      On the date hereof, each Borrower shall pay to the Bank such Borrower’s Pro-rata Share of an upfront fee in an amount equal to $6,000, with $3,000 allocated to the Committed Facility Commitment and $3,000 allocated to the Uncommitted Facility Commitment.

(a)      If any Change in Law shall:

(i)       impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Bank;

(ii)       subject the Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)       impose on the Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by the Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Bank of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Bank, the Borrower will pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)       If the Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting the Bank or any lending office of the Bank or the Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital or on the capital of the Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of the Bank or the Loans made by the Bank, to a level below that which the Bank or the Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Bank’s policies and the policies of the Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank or the Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)       A certificate of the Bank setting forth the Bank’s reasonable good faith determination of the additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The amount shown as payable on any such certificate shall be due within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. In determining such additional amounts of compensation, the Bank will act reasonably and in good faith, and will only seek such additional compensation to the extent it is seeking such compensation from other similarly situated customers of the Bank.

(d)       Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that the Bank notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(a)       Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any such payment by a Borrower, then such Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Taxes are an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)       The applicable Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Bank timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)       The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Bank, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Bank under or in respect of this Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Documents and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Borrower by the Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)       As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the applicable Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.4, such Borrower shall deliver to Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Bank.

(e)       (i) To the extent the Bank is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Loan Document it shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Bank, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will enable such Borrower to determine whether or not the Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.4(e) (ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Bank.

(ii)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(1)       To the extent the Bank is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to the applicable Borrower on or prior to the date on which the Bank becomes a Bank under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2)       To the extent the Bank is a Foreign Lender, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which the Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of a payment received under any of the Loan Documents, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3)       any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which the Foreign Lender becomes the Bank under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Taxes, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4)       if a payment made to the Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Bank shall deliver to the applicable Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as may be necessary for such Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Bank has complied with the Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

The Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)       If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g)       Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.4 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(h)       For purposes of this Section 3.4 the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make, continue or maintain any Loan, or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers:

(a)       the Bank may, if such Change in Law makes it unlawful to make, continue or maintain, a Loan, declare that thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) Loans will not be made or continued; and

(b)       the Bank may, if such Change in Law makes it unlawful to maintain Loans, require that all outstanding Loans be repaid in full in thirty (30) days or such earlier date if required by any Change in Law.

Each Borrower (severally and not jointly), in order to induce the Bank to enter into this Credit Agreement and make Loans to such Borrower, hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Bank:

The Related Company thereof (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (b) is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction which requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. Such Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as now conducted.

Such Borrower has full legal power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action, and neither the execution and delivery by such Borrower of any of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any of the Organizational Documents of such Borrower. Such Borrower has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

The Loan Documents constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of such Borrower to the extent it is a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of such Borrower, threatened against it or the Related Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, or which (a) call into question the validity or enforceability of, or otherwise seek to invalidate, any Loan Document to which such Borrower is a party, or (b) would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower.

No consent, authorization or approval of, filing (other than the filing of each financing statement in the form attached to the Security Agreement in the office indicated on such financing statement) with, notice to, or exemption by, the holders of any securities issued by such Borrower, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, the execution and delivery by such Borrower of, and the performance by such Borrower of its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which it is a party or is required as a condition to the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party with respect to or against such Borrower or its property or assets. No provision of any applicable treaty, statute, law (including any applicable usury or similar law), rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority will prevent the execution and delivery by such Borrower or performance by such Borrower of its obligations under, or affect the validity with respect to or against such Borrower of, the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

Neither the Related Company thereof nor such Borrower is in default under any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, judgment, decree or order to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, which defaults, taken as a whole, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. The execution and delivery by such Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such Borrower of the terms thereof, and the use by such Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan made hereunder (a) will not (i) violate any statutes or regulations, including the ICA, of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Related Company thereof or such Borrower, or (ii) constitute a default under, conflict with, require any consent under (other than consents which have been obtained), or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon the property of such Borrower pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, judgment, decree or order, which defaults, conflicts and consents, if not obtained, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, and (b) are not inconsistent with its Fundamental Policies.

The Related Company thereof and such Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or in any assessments made against it (other than those being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with Applicable Accounting Principles) which, if not so filed or paid, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, and no tax Liens have been filed against such Borrower or any of its property. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of such Borrower with respect to all federal, state, local and other Taxes are adequate, and such Borrower knows of no unpaid assessment which is due and payable against or any claims being asserted against the Related Company thereof or such Borrower, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, except such thereof as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with Applicable Accounting Principles.

Neither the Related Company thereof nor any such Borrower is in default with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or decision of any Governmental Authority, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. The Related Company thereof and each Series of such Related Company is complying in all respects with all applicable statutes and regulations, including the ICA and the Securities Act, and of all Governmental Authorities, a violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower.

Such Borrower has good and marketable title to all of its property with respect to which the absence of such marketable title could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

Except for the Federal Reserve Form to be executed and delivered by the Borrowers, no filing or other action is required under the provisions of Regulations T, U or X in connection with the execution and delivery by such Borrower of this Credit Agreement and neither the making of any Loan in accordance with this Credit Agreement nor the use of the proceeds thereof, will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulations T, U or X.

Since the Measurement Date with respect to such Borrower, such Borrower has conducted its businesses only in the ordinary course and there has been no event or occurrence that has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower.

Each of the following with respect to such Borrower is in full force and effect: (a) the investment advisory agreement between such Borrower and its Investment Adviser, (b) its Custody Agreement, and (c) the administration agreement between such Borrower and the administrator therefor.

If, (i) in the case of the Uncommitted Facility Commitment, either the Bank has exercised its rights under Section 2.9 or if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Borrower pursuant to paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 8.1, or (ii) in the case of the Committed Facility Commitment, any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Borrower pursuant to paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 8.1, then in such case, the Commitments of the Bank with respect to such Borrower shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of such Borrower accrued and unpaid under the Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Borrower pursuant to any other paragraph of Section 8.1 (other than paragraph (h) or (i)), then at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Bank may, by written notice to such Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (a) declare the Commitments with respect to such Borrower terminated, and thereupon the Commitments with respect to such Borrower shall terminate immediately and/or (b) declare the Loans to such Borrower then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of such Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of such Borrower accrued and unpaid under the Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without any presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by such Borrower.

Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent via email, as follows:

(a)       if to any Borrower, to it at Investment Managers Series Trust, c/o Liberty Street Advisors, Inc., 235 W Galena Street, Milwaukee, WI 53212-3948; or

(b)       if to the Bank, to it at, (i) in all cases, 1010 Grand Blvd., Kansas City, Missouri 64106, Attention: Aaron Rickley, Telephone: (816) 860-7284; Email: aaron.rickley@umb.com; and (ii) in the case of all notices and other communications pursuant to Article 2, with a copy to robinsoncustody@umb.com and bramshillcustody@umb.com.

Any party hereto may change its address or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

(a)       No failure or delay by the Bank in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Bank under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Bank would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the Bank shall have consented thereto in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)       Neither this Credit Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Bank.

(a)       Each Borrower shall pay (i) its Pro-rata Share of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Bank and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Bank, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, closing and administration of this Credit Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Bank, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Bank, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights against such Borrower under the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder to such Borrower, including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)       Each Borrower shall severally (and not jointly) indemnify the Bank and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related costs and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery by such Borrower of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by such Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents or the consummation by such Borrower of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan made to such Borrower or the use of the proceeds thereof, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing with respect to such Borrower, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided, that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for Losses that are determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (1) such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (2) a claim brought by such Borrower against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations under any Loan Documents. Subject to Section 9.3(c), nothing herein contained shall prevent or prohibit any Borrower from bringing any action against the Bank to recover any Losses suffered by such Borrower to the extent caused by the Bank’s failure to exercise due care in the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Bank (as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Bank shall be deemed to have exercised due care.

(c)       To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereto agrees that it shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d)       All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor.

The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (a) no Borrower shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (b) the Bank shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be (i) required during the continuance of any Event of Default, or (ii) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (c) the Bank may only assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to a Person which is a “bank” as defined in Section 18(f)(1) of the ICA in the reasonable judgment of each Borrower and (d) in the event of any assignment hereunder, such assignment shall not be effective unless and until such assignment is recorded in the Bank’s records of lenders and borrowers. Any assignment made in violation of the provisions hereof shall be void. Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Bank) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of the Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Bank as a party hereto.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Credit Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.3 and 9.3 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. This Credit Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Bank and when the Bank shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement by facsimile or e-mail transmission or electronic transmission in “portable document format” shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Credit Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the legal and economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

If an Event of Default with respect to a Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, the Bank and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter owing under the Loan Documents held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under any Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that it may have.

(a)       THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)       Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri and the Circuit Court of the State of Missouri sitting in Jackson County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Missouri State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto 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.

(c)       Each Company, each Fund, and the Bank hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)       Each party to this Credit Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Credit Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Credit Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Credit Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to the Bank in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon to the date of repayment, shall have been received by the Bank.

The Bank agrees with each Borrower to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with the Bank’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature, all non-public information supplied by such Borrower pursuant to this Credit Agreement which (a)(i) is clearly identified by such Person as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Bank, or (ii) constitutes any financial statement, list of investments or other assets, financial projections or forecasts, budget, compliance certificate, audit report, draft press release, management letter or accountants’ certification delivered hereunder, and (b) as of any date of determination, was received by the Bank within the immediately preceding two year period (“Information”), provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such Information (i) to such of its respective Related Parties as need to know such Information, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or requested by any bank regulatory authority, (iii) on a confidential basis, to prospective lenders or their counsel, (iv) to auditors or accountants, and any analogous counterpart thereof, (v) in connection with any litigation to which the Bank is a party, (vi) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Credit Agreement, (B) becomes available to the Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than such Borrower, or (C) was available to the Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Bank by such Borrower; and (vii) to the extent such Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure in writing. The Bank acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this Credit Agreement may include material non-public information concerning such Borrower, its Related Parties or such Borrower’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, no provision thereof shall (1) restrict the Bank from providing information to Federal Reserve supervisory staff, (2) require or permit, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, the Bank to disclose to such Borrower or any affiliate that any information will be or was provided to Federal Reserve supervisory staff, or (3) require or permit, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, the Bank to inform such Borrower or any affiliate of a current or upcoming Federal Reserve examination or any nonpublic Federal Reserve supervisory initiative or action. Nothing in this Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents shall prevent any of the parties hereto and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors from disclosing to any and all Persons the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement.

The Bank hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow the Bank to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

THIS SECTION IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH MO. REV. STAT. SECTION 432.047. ORAL OR UNEXECUTED AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH IT IS BASED THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT. TO PROTECT YOU (THE BORROWERS) AND US (THE BANK) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT.

No Person shall be or become the Bank hereunder unless such Person is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(5) of the ICA.

Upon the date of this Credit Agreement, the Prior Agreement (and, except as otherwise set forth in the following proviso, all obligations and rights of any party thereunder), shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation to repay the loans and advances arising under the Prior Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the liens and security interests securing payment and performance thereof shall be continuing but shall now be governed by the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All Loan Documents that were executed and delivered in connection with the Prior Agreement (as such Loan Documents may have been amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified), are hereby reaffirmed and shall continue in full force and effect; provided further that, all references in such Loan Documents to the Prior Agreement shall, without anything further, be deemed to refer to this Credit Agreement (as it may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all Indebtedness and other obligations evidenced by the Prior Agreement and other Loan Documents executed in connection with the Prior Agreement (as such Loan Documents may have been amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified) have not been novated or satisfied but instead have become part of the Indebtedness and obligations governed by the terms of this Credit Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. No action or inaction by Bank prior to the date of this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have established a course of conduct among the parties hereto. All rights, duties and obligations of the parties to this Credit Agreement shall be solely as set forth in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

RECITALS

I.       The Trust, acting on behalf of Robinson Tax Advantaged Income Fund, Robinson Opportunistic Income Fund, Bramshill Multi-Strategy Income Fund (f/k/a Braddock Multi-Strategy Income Fund), and the Bank are parties to that certain Security Agreement dated December 27, 2018 (the “Existing Security Agreement”).

II.       Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Borrowers and the Bank (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

III.       It is a condition precedent to the making of all Loans and all other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement that the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered this Security Agreement.

Therefore, in consideration of the Recitals, the terms and conditions herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrowers and the Bank hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Defined Terms

(a)       Each term that is defined in the Credit Agreement and not herein defined has the meaning ascribed thereto by the Credit Agreement when used herein.

(b)       When used in this Security Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto as follows:

“Collateral” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.

“Custody Account” means, with respect to a Borrower, collectively, each Commodity Account, Deposit Account and Securities Account that such Borrower maintains at any time and from time to time with the Bank.

“Custody Assets” means, as of any time, with respect to a Borrower all of the Accounts, cash, cash equivalents, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, Documents, Financial Assets, Financial Contracts, General Intangibles, Instruments, Investment Property, Money, Supporting Obligations in respect of the foregoing and Proceeds of all of the foregoing, in each case that, at such time, are in or credited to the Custody Account of such Borrower.

“Excluded Collateral” means, with respect to any Borrower, any contract or agreement constituting a General Intangible or a Promissory Note, but only to the extent that the granting of a Security Interest therein by such Borrower would violate any applicable law or any enforceable provision of such contract or agreement, provided that to the extent the Security Interest herein granted at any time hereafter shall no longer violate any applicable law, and/or immediately upon such provision no longer being enforceable, as the case may be, such contract or agreement, as the case may be shall automatically and without any further action cease to be “Excluded Collateral”, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have granted automatically and without any further action a Security Interest therein subject hereto as if such law had never existed or such provision had never been enforceable, as the case may be.

“MOUCC” means the UCC as in effect in the State of Missouri on the date of this Security Agreement.

“Obligations” means, with respect to a Borrower as of any date, all of the obligations and liabilities of such Borrower to the Bank or any Related Party under the Loan Documents and each Secured Financial Contract, in each case whether fixed, contingent, now existing or hereafter arising, created, assumed, incurred or acquired.

“Permitted Charge” means, with respect to any property of a Borrower, a Permitted Lien on such property to the extent that its priority over the Security Interest created hereby would not (a) cause a breach of any representation or warranty of such Borrower in Section 3(c), or (b) violate any covenant of such Borrower in Section 4(h).

“Secured Financial Contract” means, with respect to a Borrower, a Financial Contract entered into by such Borrower with the Bank or any Related Party thereof.

“UCC” means, with respect to any jurisdiction, Articles 1, 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in such jurisdiction.

(c)       Except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, when used in this Security Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the MOUCC: “Account”, “Adverse Claim”, “Chattel Paper”, “Commodity Account”, “Commodity Contract”, “Commodity Intermediary”, “Deposit Account”, “Document”, “Entitlement Order”, “Financial Asset”, “General Intangible”, “Instrument”, “Investment Property”, “Money”, “Proceeds”, “Promissory Note”, “Records”, “Secured Party”, “Securities Account”, “Security Interest” and “Supporting Obligation” as the same may be modified by the provisions hereof.

Section 2. Grant of Security Interest

To secure the prompt and complete payment, observance and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower, solely as to itself and not as to any other Borrower, hereby grants to the Bank a Security Interest in and to all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the following (with respect to the items listed in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, only to the extent such items would not constitute Excluded Collateral):

(i)       the Custody Account and the Custody Assets,

(ii)       all Accounts, cash, cash equivalents, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, Financial Assets, Financial Contracts, General Intangibles, Instruments, Investment Property, and Money,

(iii)       all Supporting Obligations in respect of all of the foregoing, and

(iv)       all Records in respect of all of the foregoing,

in each case, whether now owned or existing or hereafter arising or acquired, together with all of the Proceeds (which shall include all dividends, distributions, accessions and income on and in respect of all of the foregoing and all other rights and benefits in respect thereof) of all of the foregoing (collectively, with respect to such Borrower, the “Collateral”).

Section 3. Borrower Rights

The Bank agrees, in its capacity as the secured party hereunder, with each Borrower that such Borrower or its agent (including any investment manager or adviser) shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and, with respect to the Custody Account and the Custody Assets, in all cases in compliance with the terms of the Custody Agreement, to remove, dispose of and withdraw Collateral from the Custody Account or any other Deposit Account, and sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, in each case throughout the term of this Agreement, and the Bank agrees, in its capacity as the secured party, with such Borrower that the Bank shall not give instructions with respect to any of the Collateral (including, without limitation, instructions to the Custodian or any Entitlement Orders) or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties

Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Bank as follows:

(a)       As of the date hereof, the Trust is a statutory trust duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Robinson Tax Advantaged Income Fund, Robinson Opportunistic Income Fund and Bramshill Multi-Strategy Income Fund, as the case may be, is a series of the Trust.

(b)       Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Security Agreement, since such Borrower’s formation, there has been no change in (i) its legal name or structure, or (ii) its jurisdiction of formation.

(c)       (i) The Existing Security Agreement created an enforceable Security Interest in the Collateral of such Borrower in favor of the Bank and this Security Agreement does not interrupt, suspend the continuity of, satisfy, discharge any prior duties, novate, or terminate the Liens and/or security interests created by the Existing Security Agreement, (ii) there are no Liens upon such Collateral other than Permitted Liens, and (iii)(1) with respect to such Collateral constituting the Custody Account and the Custody Assets, so long as the Custody Account is maintained with the Bank, the Bank has a perfected Security Interest in such Collateral, which Security Interest is, other than with respect to the Liens on such Borrower’s assets permitted by Section 7.2(e) of the Credit Agreement, prior to all other Liens, and (2) with respect to all other Collateral of such Borrower in which a Security Interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement, the filing of the financing statements attached as Annex A hereto, the Bank has a perfected Security Interest in such Collateral, which Security Interest is prior to all Liens other than the Liens on such Borrower’s assets permitted by Section 7.2(f) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 5. Covenants

Each Borrower hereby covenants with the Bank as follows:

(a)       Such Borrower shall not effect or permit any change in its legal name, its form of organization or its jurisdiction of organization, in each case unless it shall provide the Bank with prior written notice thereof and UCC financing statements (or amendments thereto), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Bank, shall have been filed at the expense of such Borrower in all filing offices designated by the Bank.

(b)       Such Borrower shall, at its own expense, promptly authorize, execute and deliver, as applicable, all certificates, instruments, endorsements, financing and continuation statements and amendments thereto, notices, agreements (including control agreements), and other documents, and take all further action, that the Bank may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted by such Borrower hereby or to enable the Bank to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral of such Borrower. If any assets are acquired by such Borrower after the date hereof which are of the type described in Section 2 hereof (other than assets constituting such Borrower’s Collateral that become subject to the Lien of the Security Agreement upon acquisition thereof and other than assets upon which the Bank has a first perfected Lien), such Borrower will notify the Bank thereof, and, if requested by the Bank, such Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations of such Borrower and will take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Bank to grant and perfect such Liens, all at the expense of the Borrower.

(c)       To the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law or any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, such Borrower at its own expense shall furnish to the Bank such information, reports, statements and schedules with respect to the Collateral of such Borrower as the Bank may reasonably request from time to time.

(d)       Such Borrower at its own expense shall defend the Collateral of such Borrower against all claims of any kind or nature (other than Permitted Charges with respect to such Borrower) of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the interests of the Bank.

(e)       Except as otherwise required by applicable law or expressly provided in the Loan Agreement or the applicable Custody Agreement, such Borrower agrees that, with respect to the Collateral of such Borrower, neither the Bank nor such Borrower’s Custodian has any obligation to preserve rights against prior or third parties.

(f)       The only duty of the Bank, in its capacity as the lender to the applicable Borrower, but not in its capacity as Custodian, with respect to such Borrower’s Collateral delivered to it shall be to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral, and such Borrower agrees that if the Bank accords such Collateral substantially the same kind of care as it accords its own property or delivers such Collateral over to such Borrower’s Custodian, such care shall presumptively be deemed reasonable.

(g)       Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) such Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in its Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Bank of any of its rights hereunder shall not release such Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any Loan Documents, (iii) the Bank shall not have any obligation or liability, including indemnification obligations, under any such contract or agreement by reason of this Security Agreement, nor shall the Bank be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of such Borrower hereunder, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by such Borrower or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder and (iv) the Bank shall not be under any duty to send notices, perform services, exercise any rights of collection, enforcement, conversion or exchange, vote, pay for insurance, taxes or other charges or take any action of any kind in connection with the management of such Collateral.

(h)       Such Borrower agrees that it shall (i) at all times (1) with respect to the Collateral of such Borrower constituting the Custody Account and the Custody Assets, cause the Bank to have a perfected Security Interest in such Collateral, which Security Interest shall be, other than with respect to the Liens on the assets of such Borrower permitted by Section 7.2(e) of the Credit Agreement, prior to all other Liens, and (2) with respect to all other Collateral of such Borrower in which a Security Interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement, cause the Bank to have a perfected Security Interest in such Collateral, which Security Interest shall be prior to all Liens other than the Liens on the property of such Borrower permitted by Section 7.2(f) of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) not cause or permit any of such Collateral (1) to be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens, or (2) to be subject to any Lien (other than Permitted Charges) that has any priority over the Security Interest granted hereby.

Section 6. Voting and Distributions

(a)       With respect to each Borrower, unless and until an Event of Default with respect to such Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing and the Bank shall have delivered to such Borrower a written notice of its intention to exercise the voting and/or other consensual rights and powers referred to in this Section 6 (a “Collateral Notice”):

(i)       Such Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf, or any part thereof, for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(ii)       The Bank shall execute and deliver to such Borrower, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Borrower, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Borrower may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) and to receive the cash payments it is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii).

(iii)       Subject to the Security Interest created hereby and the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive, retain and use any and all dividends, distributions, interest and principal paid on, and Proceeds of, the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf.

(b)       With respect to each Borrower, upon receipt by such Borrower of a Collateral Notice upon the occurrence of, or at any time during the continuance of, an Event of Default with respect to such Borrower:

(i)       To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all rights of such Borrower to receive and retain dividends, distributions, interest and principal paid on, and Proceeds of, its Collateral that it is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Bank, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, distributions, interest, principal and Proceeds, as applicable. All dividends, distributions, interest, principal and Proceeds received by or on behalf of such Borrower contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Bank, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Borrower and shall be forthwith delivered to the Bank or such Borrower’s Custodian upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Bank pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (i) shall be retained by the Bank in an account to be established in the name of the Bank upon receipt of such money or other property. Subject to the provisions of this subsection (i), such account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Bank, and the Bank shall at all times have the sole right to make withdrawals therefrom and to exercise all rights with respect to the funds and other property from time to time therein or credited thereto, provided that such funds or other property shall not be withdrawn or applied for any purpose other than toward the payment of such Borrower’s Obligations.

(ii)       To the extent not prohibited under applicable law, all rights of such Borrower to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i), and the obligations of the Bank under Section 6(a)(ii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Bank, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers, provided that the Bank shall have the right from time to time to permit such Borrower to exercise such rights.

Section 7. Remedies

(a)       With respect to a Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to such Borrower, the Bank may:

(i)       exercise any and all rights and remedies with respect to such Borrower and its Collateral (x) granted to a Secured Party by the MOUCC or otherwise allowed at law, and/or (y) otherwise provided by this Security Agreement, and

(ii)       dispose of such Borrower’s Collateral as it may choose, so long as every aspect of the disposition, including the method, manner, time, place and terms thereof, is commercially reasonable, and such Borrower agrees that, without limitation, the following are each commercially reasonable: (x) if the Bank is required by law to give any notice of disposition of such Collateral, the Bank shall not in any event be required to give more than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to such Borrower of any such disposition, (y) any place within the City of Kansas City, Missouri may be designated by the Bank for disposition, and (z) the Bank 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)       To the extent permitted by law, such Borrower hereby expressly waives and covenants not to assert any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or similar laws, now or at any time hereafter in force, which might delay, prevent or otherwise impede the performance or enforcement of this Security Agreement.

(c)       In view of the position of each applicable Borrower in relation to the Collateral of such Borrower, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act or any similar applicable law of any other Governmental Authority analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar law as from time to time in effect being called the “Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of such Collateral permitted hereunder. Such Borrower understands that compliance with the Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Bank if the Bank were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any such Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Bank in any attempt to dispose of all or part of such Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Such Borrower recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Bank may, with respect to any sale of such Collateral to which such restrictions or limitations may (in the reasonable judgment of the Bank) apply, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Such Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral, or any part thereof, shall have been filed under the Securities Laws and (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Such Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Bank shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of such Collateral at a price that the Bank may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Bank sells any such Collateral.

Section 8. Notices

(a)       All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, to the appropriate party hereto at the address therefor set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(b)       All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 9. Waivers; Amendments

Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, neither this Security Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Bank.

Section 10. Successors and Assigns

Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any such Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Security Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Bank and the Related Parties thereof) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim.

Section 11. Counterparts; Integration

This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. This Security Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
