United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and confirmation of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization as described herein and in the Plan Term Sheet;
H.WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Restructuring will occur pursuant to a plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code containing, among other things, the terms and conditions set forth in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions of Restructuring attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Plan Term Sheet”). Such plan, together with all plan-related documents, agreements, supplements and instruments consistent with the Plan Term Sheet and Reasonably Acceptable to the Collateral Manager and the Debtors, shall be referred to herein as the “Plan”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Reasonably Acceptable” shall mean acceptable to a Debtor and the Collateral Manager (as applicable) in such Debtor’s or the Collateral Manager’s reasonable discretion, provided, that, any documentation or matter consistent with a term specifically addressed in the Plan Term Sheet and this Agreement shall be deemed Reasonably Acceptable;
I.WHEREAS, each Party has reviewed or has had the opportunity to review the Plan Term Sheet and this Agreement with the assistance of professional legal advisors of its own choosing;
J.WHEREAS, the Collateral Manager, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, has determined that any proceeds of a sale transaction in the imminent Chapter 11 Cases that may be allocated to Taberna assets by the purchaser, less the administrative expenses allocable to the Taberna bankruptcy estate by the Bankruptcy Court, likely would result in substantially less recovery to TPF on the Note Claim than the proposed treatment of the Allowed Subordinated Taberna Note Claims as provided in the Plan Term Sheet;
K.WHEREAS, the Collateral Manager desires to support and vote to accept the Plan and will direct the Trustee to support and vote to accept the Plan, and the Debtors desire to obtain the commitment of the Collateral Manager to do the same, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
L.WHEREAS, in expressing such support and commitment, the Parties do not desire and do not intend in any way to derogate from or diminish the solicitation requirements of applicable bankruptcy law, or the fiduciary duties of Debtors.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.Means for Implementation. The Parties believe that prompt approval and confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) and consummation of the Plan will best facilitate the Restructuring and is in the best interests of the Debtors’ creditors, equity holders, and other parties in interest. Accordingly, to implement this Agreement, the Parties jointly and severally agree, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, that the Debtors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to:
- 2 -

a.support and consummate, and take any and all reasonable and necessary actions in furtherance of the Restructuring, including satisfying the timeframe set forth in Paragraph 6(f)-(j);
b.obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors or the reorganized equity of RAIT pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Sale”);
c.obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the disclosure statement accompanying the Plan in a form and in substance consistent with this Agreement and Reasonably Acceptable to the Collateral Manager and the Debtors (the “Disclosure Statement”);
d.solicit the requisite acceptances of the Plan in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and any applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court;
e.move the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan as expeditiously as practicable under the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Bankruptcy Court's local rules;
f.not withdraw the Plan, or file any exhibit, amendment, modification or supplement to the Plan that contains any material term(s) that are inconsistent with the Plan Term Sheet and are not Reasonably Acceptable to the Collateral Manager;
g.not pursue, propose or support, or encourage the pursuit, proposal or support of, any chapter 11 plan for any Debtor that is inconsistent with the Plan or this Agreement; and
h.take all actions reasonably necessary and appropriate to consummate the Plan at the earliest practicable date;
provided, however, that the Plan and the Disclosure Statement shall be consistent with this Agreement, and the Debtors’ obligations hereunder shall in all respects be subject to the exercise by each of the Debtors of its respective fiduciary duty as a debtor and debtor in possession in the Chapter 11 Cases.
2.Representations as to Authority of the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof:
a.that it has the right, on behalf of TPF, as sole holder of the Note, to instruct the Trustee to vote, compromise, and dispose of, consistent with the provisions contained in the Plan, the Note Claim.
3.Agreement to Support the Plan. For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, and subject to the Debtors fulfilling their obligations as provided herein, the Collateral Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) support approval of the Sale; (b) support approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan; (c) not directly or indirectly pursue, propose, support, solicit or encourage the pursuit, proposal, solicitation or support of, any chapter 11 plan or other restructuring or reorganization (including, without

119429973.3

limitation, any sale, proposal or offer of dissolution, winding up or merger) for, or the liquidation of, any of the Debtors (directly or indirectly) that is inconsistent with the Plan or this Agreement; (d) not, nor encourage any other person or entity to, object, oppose, delay, impede, appeal or take any other negative action, directly or indirectly, to interfere with, the approval of the Disclosure Statement and the acceptance, implementation, confirmation and consummation of the Plan; (e) not commence any proceeding or prosecute any objection to oppose or object to the Plan or to the Disclosure Statement; and (f) subject to the prior approval of the Disclosure Statement by the Bankruptcy Court and receipt of such approved Disclosure Statement by the Collateral Manager and Trustee, direct Trustee to vote the Note Claim (and not revoke or withdraw its vote) in favor of the Plan and (ii) to direct Trustee to vote the Note Claim (and not revoke or withdraw its vote) in favor of the Plan; provided that, in each case, (x) the Plan and Disclosure Statement meet all the requirements and conditions relating thereto as set forth in this Agreement; (y) the Disclosure Statement that is approved by the Bankruptcy Court does not contain information that differs materially from that which was known by the Collateral Manager as of the date hereof; and (z) the Plan does not impose terms not contained in this Agreement (including the Plan Term Sheet) that adversely affect the interests of TPF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Collateral Manager from appearing as a party in interest in any matter to be adjudicated in the Chapter 11 Cases so long as such appearance and the positions advocated in connection therewith are not materially inconsistent with this Agreement and are not for the purpose of hindering or delaying (and are not reasonably likely to hinder or delay) implementation of the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Collateral Manager is appointed to and serves on an official committee in the Chapter 11 Cases, the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to limit the Collateral Manager’s exercise of its fiduciary duties in its role as a member of such committee, and any exercise of such fiduciary duties shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that serving as a member of such committee shall not relieve the Collateral Manager in its individual capacity of any obligations to instruct Trustee to vote in favor of the Plan; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Collateral Manager to serve on any official committee in the Chapter 11 Cases.
4.Acknowledgement. The entry by the Parties into this Restructuring and Plan Support Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a chapter 11 plan for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors will not solicit acceptances of the Plan from Trustee or the Collateral Manager until they have been provided with copies of a Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
5.Limitations on Transfer. The Collateral Manager agrees, for so long as this Agreement is in effect (such period, the “Restricted Period”), that TPF will not (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge (except bona fide pledges to its lenders (if any) or any Federal Reserve bank or branch), grant a participation interest in or otherwise dispose, directly or indirectly, of TPF’s right, title or interest (including any voting rights) in respect of the Note or the Indenture Agreement, including the Note Claim (to the extent held by it on the date hereof), in whole or in part, or any interest therein, or (b) grant any proxies, deposit any of TPF’s interest in the Note Claim (to the
