Description of The Stanwix Whole Loan

The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the loan agreement, dated as of August 27, 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), between 115 Stanwix Realty LLC (the “Borrower”), and Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. (“CCRE”), in its capacity as lender, and the other documents executed by the Borrower and other applicable parties in connection with the origination of The Stanwix Whole Loan referred to below (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement.

Certain defined terms used in this “Description of The Stanwix Whole Loan” section reflect defined terms used in the Loan Documents for the purpose of determining the occurrence of certain events or compliance with certain covenants in the Loan Documents. The results of these calculations will differ, and may differ substantially, from similar numerical information and statistics regarding The Stanwix Mortgaged Property and The Stanwix Whole Loan presented elsewhere in this free writing prospectus including those based upon the assumptions and the definitions set forth under this “Description of The Stanwix Whole Loan” in this free writing prospectus.

General

The Stanwix Whole Loan was originated by CCRE, as lender, on August 27, 2019 (the “Origination Date”). On the closing date for the securitization contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus, CCRE will assign The Stanwix Mortgage Loan and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to CCRE Commercial Mortgage Securities, L.P. (the “Depositor”) and the Depositor will subsequently assign The Stanwix Mortgage Loan and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan to the issuing entity, CF 2019-CF2 Mortgage Trust (the “Issuing Entity”). On the Closing Date, the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan is expected to be $63,000,000.

The Stanwix Whole Loan is a ten-year fixed-rate interest-only mortgage loan and is evidenced by two promissory notes designated as “Note A” and “Note B”, respectively (each, a “Note” and together, the “Notes”).

The Stanwix Whole Loan is scheduled to mature September 1, 2029 (the “Stated Maturity Date”). The Stanwix Whole Loan is an interest-only loan and will not require scheduled payments of principal during the term of The Stanwix Whole Loan. The Loan Documents provide that the Borrower will be required to pay monthly payments of interest on The Stanwix Whole Loan as described in “—Payment on The Stanwix Whole Loan” below.

Maturity Date” means the Stated Maturity Date or such other date on which the final payment of principal of the Notes becomes due and payable as provided in the Loan Agreement, whether at such stated maturity date, by declaration of acceleration, or otherwise.

The “Cut-off Date” means, with respect to The Stanwix Whole Loan, October 1, 2019.

The outstanding principal balance of each Note as of the Cut-off Date is set forth in the table below:

Note Lender Original Principal Balance Note Rate

Note B CCRE $30,000,000 5.2333%
Total/Wtd. Avg   $63,000,000 4.0635%

During the continuance of a Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by the lender among the Notes in the lender’s sole discretion.

As between the allocation of the application of payments of interest and payments of principal between The Stanwix Senior Loan and the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan, such allocation may be made by the lender in its discretion (provided, however, so long as no Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and other than in connection with a full or partial prepayment of The Stanwix Whole Loan in connection with a casualty or condemnation, in no event may such allocation result in an increase in the amount of interest that is payable by the Borrower).

Prepayment

No prepayments of The Stanwix Whole Loan will be permitted except for (i) prepayments resulting from casualty or condemnation as described below in this section “—Prepayment” or (ii) prepayment of The Stanwix Whole Loan in whole (but not in part) on or after the Open Prepayment Date on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice. In addition, defeasance will be permitted after the Permitted Release Date as described under “—Defeasance” below.

On the Stanwix Loan Payment Date in July 2029 (the “Open Prepayment Date”), or on any Stanwix Loan Payment Date thereafter, so long as no Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to the lender, prepay the entire outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan provided that such prepayment is accompanied by (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance prepaid and (ii) all other amounts due under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. In addition, if for any reason the Borrower prepays The Stanwix Whole Loan on a day other than a Stanwix Loan Payment Date, the Borrower must also pay interest on the principal amount so prepaid through the next succeeding Stanwix Loan Payment Date.

Following any casualty or condemnation, on the next occurring Stanwix Loan Payment Date following the date on which the lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if the lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to the Borrower for Restoration, the Borrower is required to prepay, or authorize the lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if a Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Additionally, so long as no Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium will be due in connection with any prepayment made in connection with a casualty or condemnation.

If more than one issue of United States Treasury Securities has the remaining term to the Maturity Date, the “Prepayment Rate” will be the yield on such United States Treasury Security most recently issued as of the Prepayment Rate Determination Date. The rate so published will control absent manifest error. If the publication of the Prepayment Rate in The Wall Street Journal is discontinued, the lender will determine the Prepayment Rate on the basis of “Statistical Release H.15 (519), Selected Interest Rates,” or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or on the basis of such other publication or statistical guide as the lender may reasonably select.

Defeasance

Provided no Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default then exists, the Borrower will have the right at any time after the date that is the earlier of (i) the date that is two years from the settlement date of any securitization which holds the Note last contributed to a securitization or (ii) August 27, 2023 (the “Permitted Release Date” and prior to the Open Prepayment Date, to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of The Stanwix Whole Loan by and upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (such event, a “Defeasance Event”):

Proc. 2010-30, as the same may be modified, supplemented, superseded or amended, from time to time, unless the lender receives an opinion of counsel that, if the foregoing prepayment requirement is not followed, the Issuing Entity will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC as a result of such release;

(xii) the Borrower will be required to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by the Borrower’ architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing Restoration, which will be acceptable to the lender; and

DESCRIPTION OF The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan

The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the mezzanine loan agreement, dated as of August 27, 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Mezzanine Loan Agreement”), between 115 Stanwix Mezz LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), and Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. (“CCRE”), in its capacity as mezzanine lender, and the other documents executed by the Mezzanine Borrower and other applicable parties in connection with the origination of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan referred to below (collectively, the “Mezzanine Loan Documents”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.

Certain defined terms used in this “Description of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan” section reflect defined terms used in the Mezzanine Loan Documents for the purpose of determining the occurrence of certain events or compliance with certain covenants in the Mezzanine Loan Documents. The results of these calculations will differ, and may differ substantially, from similar numerical information and statistics regarding The Stanwix Mortgaged Property and The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan presented elsewhere in this free writing prospectus including those based upon the assumptions and the definitions set forth under this “Description of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan” in this free writing prospectus.

General

A mezzanine loan in the original principal balance of $10,000,000 (“The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan”) was made by CCRE, in its capacity as mezzanine lender, to the Mezzanine Borrower, pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Agreement on the Origination Date, and was subsequently assigned pursuant to a mezzanine assignment and assumption agreement, dated as of August 28, 2019, to Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company (the “Mezzanine Lender”).

The Mezzanine Borrower has pledged 100% of its direct and indirect ownership interests in the Borrower to secure The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan (the “Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral”) pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”), made as of August 27, 2019, by the Mezzanine Borrower for the benefit of the Mezzanine Lender. In addition, the Guarantor executed and delivered a non-recourse guaranty guaranteeing certain obligations and liabilities of the Mezzanine Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.

The relative rights of the lender and the Mezzanine Lender are governed by an Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2019, by and between the lender and the Mezzanine Lender (the “Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement”).

 41 

 

The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan is a ten-year fixed-rate interest-only mezzanine loan and is evidenced by one promissory note (the “Mezzanine Note”).

The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan is scheduled to mature on the Stated Maturity Date. The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan is an interest-only loan and will not require scheduled payments of principal during the term of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan. The Mezzanine Loan Documents provide that the Mezzanine Borrower will be required to pay monthly payments of interest on The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan as described in “—Payment on The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan” below. On the Closing Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan is expected to be $10,000,000.

Payment on the Mezzanine Loan

The Mezzanine Loan requires the Mezzanine Borrower to make monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal balance due on the Mezzanine Loan Maturity Date. Payments on the Mezzanine Loan are required to be made on each Stanwix Loan Payment Date until and including the Mezzanine Loan Maturity Date. In addition, the Mezzanine Borrower is required to cause the Borrower to deposit all amounts required in respect of each of the reserve accounts pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

Mezzanine Loan Maturity Date” means the Stated Maturity Date or such other date on which the final payment of principal of the Mezzanine Note becomes due and payable as provided in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, whether at such stated maturity date, by declaration of acceleration, or otherwise.

Interest will be payable on the Mezzanine Note at a fixed per annum rate equal to 7.25% per annum (the “Mezzanine Note Rate”). Interest on the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan will be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed in the Stanwix Loan Interest Accrual Period, and assuming a 360-day year.

Upon a Stanwix Mezzanine Loan Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, will accrue interest at a default rate of interest per annum (the “Mezzanine Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) 5.0% in excess of the Mezzanine Note Rate and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.

Prepayment

No prepayments of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan will be permitted except for (i) prepayments resulting from a Liquidation Event as described below in this section “—Prepayment” or (ii) prepayment of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan in whole (but not in part) on or after the Open Prepayment Date on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice. In addition, defeasance will be permitted after the Permitted Release Date as described under “—Defeasance” below.

On the Open Prepayment Date or on any Stanwix Loan Payment Date thereafter, so long as no Stanwix Mezzanine Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mezzanine Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Mezzanine Lender, prepay the entire outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan provided that such prepayment is accompanied by (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance prepaid and (ii) all other amounts due under the Mezzanine Note, the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or any of the other Mezzanine Loan Documents, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. In addition, if for any reason the Mezzanine Borrower prepays The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan on a day other than a Stanwix Loan Payment Date, the Mezzanine Borrower must also pay interest on the principal amount so prepaid through the next succeeding Stanwix Loan Payment Date.

 42 

 

In the event of any Liquidation Event, the Borrower will be required to cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be paid to the Mezzanine Borrower in accordance with the cash management and other provisions of the Loan Documents, and if such payment is not prohibited thereby, deposit such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service directly with the Mezzanine Lender. On each date on which the Mezzanine Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, the Mezzanine Borrower will be required to apply any such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest that would have accrued on such amount through the next Stanwix Loan Payment Date. Provided that no Stanwix Mezzanine Loan Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment as described in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement will be without the payment of a Yield Maintenance Premium. The Mezzanine Borrower will be required to promptly notify the lender of any Liquidation Event once the Mezzanine Borrower has knowledge of such event. The Mezzanine Borrower will be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given to the Mezzanine Borrower or the Borrower and (ii) a refinancing of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into.

Liquidation Event” means (i) any casualty to all or any portion of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, (ii) any condemnation of all or any portion of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, (iii) a Transfer of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property in connection with realization thereon following a Stanwix Loan Event of Default, including without limitation, a foreclosure sale, (iv) any refinancing of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property or The Stanwix Whole Loan or (v) the receipt by the Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by the Borrower to cure any title defect.

Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service” means with respect to any Liquidation Event, all amounts paid to or received by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Liquidation Event, including, without limitation, proceeds of any sale, refinancing or other disposition or liquidation, less (a) the Mezzanine Lender’s and/or the lender’s reasonable and actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the recovery thereof, (b) in connection with a Liquidation Event consisting of a casualty or condemnation, the costs incurred by the Borrower in connection with a restoration of all or any portion of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property made in accordance with the Loan Documents, (c) in connection with a Liquidation Event consisting of a casualty or condemnation, amounts required or permitted to be deducted therefrom and amounts paid pursuant to the Loan Documents to the lender, (d) in the case of a foreclosure sale, disposition or Transfer of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property in connection with realization thereon following a Stanwix Whole Loan Event of Default, such reasonable and customary costs and expenses of sale or other disposition (including attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions), (e) in the case of a foreclosure sale, such costs and expenses incurred by the lender under the Loan Documents as the lender is entitled to receive reimbursement for under the terms of The Stanwix Whole Loan Documents, and (f) in the case of a refinancing of The Stanwix Whole Loan, such costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of such refinancing as reasonably approved by the Mezzanine Lender.

In the event of any partial prepayment or defeasance of The Stanwix Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Borrower will be required to prepay (or defease) a portion of The Stanwix Mezzanine Whole Loan in an amount equal to the product of (x) the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of The Stanwix Whole Loan being prepaid or defeased and the denominator of which is the then-outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan being prepaid or defeased (i.e., without taking into account the prepayment or defeasance of such The Stanwix Whole Loan), which payment or defeasance will otherwise be in accordance with the defeasance provisions of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement and will include the payment of the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium, if such repayment occurs before the Open Prepayment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine Borrower may not permit any repayments, prepayments or defeasance of The Stanwix Whole Loan unless (i) the Mezzanine Borrower has obtained the prior written consent of the Mezzanine Lender and the Mezzanine Borrower has satisfied the foregoing requirements, or (ii) the

 43 

 

outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due to the Mezzanine Lender under the Mezzanine Loan Documents have been paid in full.

Yield Maintenance Premium” means, for purposes of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan, an amount equal to the greater of (a) three percent of the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan to be prepaid or satisfied; and (b) the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Mezzanine Note assuming that all scheduled payments are made timely and that the remaining outstanding principal and interest on The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan is paid on the Stated Maturity Date (with each such payment and assumed payment discounted to its present value at the date of prepayment at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate when compounded semiannually and deducting from the sum of such present values any short-term interest paid from the date of prepayment to the next succeeding Stanwix Loan Payment Date in the event such payment is not made on a Stanwix Loan Payment Date), over (ii) the principal amount being prepaid or satisfied.

If a bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower or any Borrower Party has occurred and has not been dismissed or a Continuing Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Documents (provided, however, that if the Mezzanine Lender is diligently exercising its cure rights pursuant to the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement with respect to The Stanwix Whole Loan, payments may be made under The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan as if Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default had not occurred), and except as otherwise provided in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, the lender will be entitled to receive payment and performance in full all amounts due or to become due to the lender under the Loan Documents before the Mezzanine Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan (other than (x) payments with respect to the Separate Collateral, including the proceeds of any enforcement, sale or liquidation of the Separate Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, and (y) other funds and payments described in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement as described above.

Separate Collateral” means with respect to The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan (i) the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral securing The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan, (ii) the accounts (and monies therein from time to time) established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement or any Mezzanine Loan Document, as the case may be, and (iii) any other collateral given as security for The Stanwix Mezzanine Loan pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent the same does not directly constitute security for The Stanwix Whole Loan.

Foreclosure of Separate Collateral

The Mezzanine Lender may not complete a foreclosure, assignment in lieu thereof or other realization upon the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral (including, without limitation, obtaining title to the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral or selling or otherwise transferring the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral, or exercising the voting power of the Mezzanine Borrower as sole member of Borrower pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral pursuant to rights granted in the Mezzanine Loan Documents) (a “Realization Event”) without a Rating Agency Confirmation unless:

(i)    the transferee of the title to the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral is a Qualified Transferee;

(ii)    The Stanwix Mortgaged Property will be managed by one or more qualified Property Managers selected by the Mezzanine Lender (or transferee of the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral) within 30 days after the Realization Event;

 55 

 

Amounts) will be cured by such transferee prior to or concurrently with the completion of any Realization Event;

(iv)    the transferee of the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral delivers an additional insolvency opinion to the lender within 10 Business Days following the Realization Event;

(v)    the Mezzanine Lender provides notice of the Realization Event and a certificate from the Mezzanine Lender certifying that all applicable conditions set forth in this section will be satisfied to the lender and, after a securitization, the Rating Agencies at least 5 Business Days prior to the consummation of any Realization Event, except with respect to conditions that by the terms of this section are to be satisfied after the Realization Event, as to which the Mezzanine Lender provides one or more additional certificates as of the date or dates on which such conditions are respectively satisfied in accordance herewith. The Lender may request reasonable evidence that the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above have been satisfied; and

(vi)    Regardless of whether or not a Realization Event results in the explicit release from future liability (“Future Third Party Obligations”) of any guarantor, indemnitor, pledgor, or other obligor (each, a “Third Party Obligor”) under The Stanwix Whole Loan or any other guaranty, pledge or indemnity which may constitute a Loan Document (each, a “Third Party Agreement”), the Mezzanine Lender (or the transferee of the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral) will be required, as a condition precedent to any such Realization Event, to cause a Supplemental Third Party Obligor to execute and deliver at least 3 Business Days prior to the consummation of such Realization Event to the lender a substitute Third Party Agreement (in escrow to be effective as of the date of the completion of the Realization Event), in each case in a form substantially similar to the original Third Party Agreement that it is supplementing, pursuant to which such Supplemental Third Party Obligor undertakes the obligations set forth therein from and after the date of such Realization Event (and only to the extent arising from and after the date of such Realization Event and specifically excluding any liability for events or circumstances that were actually caused by the Borrower and/or the prior direct or indirect equity owners of the Borrower or its affiliates.) Such Supplemental Third Party Obligor will be required to deliver to the lender such organizational documents and certificates with respect to the transferee and the Supplemental Third Party Obligor as may reasonably be requested by the lender, and an opinion of counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the lender and each Rating Agency regarding the due organization and authorization of the Supplemental Third Party Obligor and the enforceability of the documents entered into by the Supplemental Third Party Obligor.

Cure Rights

Prior to accelerating The Stanwix Whole Loan or commencing any enforcement action by reason of a Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default, the lender is required to give the Mezzanine Lender and any Loan Pledgees notice of such default.

If the default is a monetary default relating to the payment of interest or scheduled principal (if any) or a liquidated sum of money, the Mezzanine Lender will have until ten business days after the later of (i) the receipt of the lender’s notice of such default and (ii) the expiration of the Borrower’s cure period, if any (a “Monetary Cure Period”). In the event the Mezzanine Lender elects to cure such monetary default, the Mezzanine Lender will be required to (x) reimburse the lender for any interest charged by the lender on any required (pursuant to an applicable pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement) advances under The Stanwix Whole Loan (including Servicing Advances for amounts which Borrower would be obligated to pay under the Loan Documents, together with payment of all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents (excluding any late charges, late fees and default interest), and (y) with respect to any liquidated sum of money due with respect to such monetary default first due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents after the delivery of a default notice, the Mezzanine Lender will pay or cause to be paid such sum, not more than five business days after receipt of such notice from the lender, subject only to any grace period for payment of such sum provided in the Loan Documents and without the additional grace period provided to the Mezzanine Lender with respect to the initial monetary default, but subject to any notice requirements under the Loan Documents.

The Mezzanine Lender will only have the right to cure defaults on monthly scheduled debt service payments on The Stanwix Whole Loan as set forth above no more than six times in any consecutive 12

 58 

 

month period unless the Mezzanine Lender has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against the Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral. If the default referenced in the notice from the lender has been cured such that there is no longer any default under the Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Lender will have the same Monetary Cure Period as set forth above in the case of any future defaults.

If the default referenced in the notice from the lender is of a non-monetary nature, the Mezzanine Lender will have until the later of (A) 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Mezzanine Lender of notice of such default and (B) 20 Business Days after the expiration of the Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default (a “Non-Monetary Cure Period”). Notwithstanding the Non-Monetary Cure Period, if (i) a non-monetary default identified in the default notice is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such Non-Monetary Cure Period or, if not susceptible of cure, the Mezzanine Lender is diligently pursuing foreclosure of its Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral (subject to any applicable stay), and (ii) curative action, which may include, in the case of a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure during such applicable Non-Monetary Cure Period, foreclosure of its Mezzanine Loan Equity Collateral, was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the Mezzanine Lender subject to any applicable stay, the Mezzanine Lender may be given such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for the Mezzanine Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default for so long as (W) the Borrower or the Mezzanine Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of the Borrower’ s regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments under The Stanwix Whole Loan and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents (other than any late charges, late fees and default interest accruing other than by reason of any failure to make such regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments in a timely manner), (X) such additional period of time does not exceed 90 days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such 90 days, in which case, the Mezzanine Lender will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such non-monetary default, provided that the Mezzanine Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default, (Y) such default is not caused by a bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower or any other applicable Borrower Party, and (Z) during such Non-Monetary Cure Period or any extension thereof pursuant to this sentence, there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property taken as a whole as reasonably determined by the lender in good faith as a result of such non-monetary default. The Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to the Mezzanine Lender will automatically terminate upon (x) the commencement of a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding involving the Borrower or any other applicable Borrower Party, (y) a consent to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by the Borrower or any other applicable Borrower Party or (z) the failure of the Borrower or the applicable Borrower Party to have an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against it or such Borrower Party discharged, stayed or dismissed within 90 days of filing thereof, unless the bankruptcy proceeding is subsequently dismissed not later than 90 days after the filing thereof, in which case the Mezzanine Lender’ s cure right will be deemed reinstated from and after such dismissal to the extent the other conditions in this section are satisfied.

So long as no Continuing Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement and Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, during any Cash Management Period, will continue to be applied pursuant thereto and will not be applied by the lender to prepay the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan other than the application of such funds to the amortization of The Stanwix Whole Loan as contemplated by the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.

Right to Purchase The Stanwix Whole Loan

If a Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default occurs, The Stanwix Whole Loan has been accelerated, the lender has commenced any enforcement action available to it under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise with respect to the Borrower and/or any portion of the real property collateral, a bankruptcy proceeding has been commenced against the Borrower or any Borrower Party or The Stanwix Whole Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan as the result of a monetary or non-monetary event of default under The Stanwix Whole Loan (each of the foregoing, a “Purchase Option Event”), the lender will

 59 

 

be required to provide prompt written notice thereof to the Mezzanine Lender and upon ten business days’ prior written notice to the lender, the Mezzanine Lender will have the right to purchase for cash, in whole but not in part, The Stanwix Whole Loan for the Loan Purchase Price.

The “Loan Purchase Price” is an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan, together with all accrued interest and all other amounts due thereon including, without limitation, (i) any unreimbursed advances (including Servicing Advances) made by the lender or any servicer for amounts which Borrower is obligated to pay under the Loan Documents, (ii) post-petition interest, (iii) any interest charged by the lender or any servicer on any required (pursuant to an applicable pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement in connection with a securitization) advances, (iv) any workout fee, special servicing fee or liquidation fee payable to the Special Servicer, but excluding any workout fee or liquidation fees if The Stanwix Whole Loan is purchased 90 days of the date on which the purchase notice was given to the Mezzanine Lender, and (v) all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by the lender or any servicer in enforcing the terms of the Loan Documents, but in all events excluding any yield maintenance premiums, prepayment fees or premiums, any exit fees, any liquidated damage amount, any spread maintenance charges, any late charges or any default interest) in excess of interest calculated at the non-default rate.

The right of the Mezzanine Lender to purchase The Stanwix Whole Loan will automatically terminate (I) to the extent such right arose with respect to a specific Purchase Option Event, if such Purchase Option Event ceases to exist (including, if the lender terminated its enforcement action and no other Purchase Option Event exists), or (y) upon a Transfer of all of The Stanwix Whole Loan by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure; provided, however, that, with respect to this clause (y), in no event will the Mezzanine Lender have less than 30 days following receipt of a purchase notice to purchase The Stanwix Whole Loan and the lender may not accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure during such 30 day period, and the Mezzanine Lender will be entitled to bid at foreclosure as permitted by applicable law. Concurrently with payment to the lender of the Loan Purchase Price, the lender will be required to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mezzanine Lender all Loan Documents held by or on behalf of the lender, and will execute in favor of the Mezzanine Lender assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Mezzanine Lender, at the sole cost and expense of the Mezzanine Lender, to assign The Stanwix Whole Loan and its rights under the Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of The Stanwix Whole Loan, power and authority to enter into the applicable assignment documentation and as to the lender’s ownership and not having previously transferred its rights in The Stanwix Whole Loan as of the consummation of the assignment of The Stanwix Whole Loan).

The Lender will not accept (or cause any nominee or designee to accept) a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without first providing the Mezzanine Lender with at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice (a “DIL Notice”) of the lender’s good faith intention to accept a deed-in-lieu within the 30 day period following delivery of such DIL Notice, provided, however, a DIL Notice may not be issued by the lender prior to the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event and delivery of a purchase notice. For 30 days following the delivery of a DIL Notice, the Mezzanine Lender or its designee will have the right to notify the lender that the Mezzanine Lender or its designee desires to purchase The Stanwix Whole Loan for the Loan Purchase Price and otherwise in accordance with the above provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement (such notice constituting a Purchase Election Notice). If the Mezzanine Lender fails to consummate the purchase described in the immediately preceding sentence within the 30 day period following receipt of a DIL Notice (other than by reason of the default of the lender and provided that such 30 day period during which the Mezzanine Lender is required to consummate such purchase will be extended for an additional 30 days upon payment to Senior Lender of a non-refundable cash deposit in an amount equal to 10% of the Loan Purchase Price), the lender will have the right, for 30 days after the expiration of the 30 day period (or 60 day period if extended pursuant to the foregoing) referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, to accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, and (iv) if the lender does not accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure prior to the expiration of such 30 day period, the lender will

 60 

 

thereafter not accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without again complying with all of the foregoing provisions.

Termination of Manager

If both the lender and the Mezzanine Lender have the right to terminate, or cause the Borrower to terminate, the Property Manager, and the lender fails to exercise (or fails to elect not to exercise) such right, the Mezzanine Lender may exercise such rights, but such exercise may be superseded by any subsequent exercise of such rights by the lender to the extent provided in the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle the Mezzanine Lender to cause the termination of the Property Manager pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents (provided the lender does not have the right to cause the termination of the Property Manager), the Mezzanine Lender will have the right to select, or cause the selection, of a replacement Property Manager which will either be (a) a Qualified Property Manager or (b) subject to the lender’s reasonable approval. If a Stanwix Mortgage Loan Event of Default exists or any other event has occurred (in each case which is not in the process of being cured by the Mezzanine Lender) pursuant to which the lender has the right to cause the termination of the Property Manager pursuant to the Loan Documents (or, at the lender’ s option, to elect not to exercise such right and to retain the then-current Property Manager), the lender will have the sole right to elect not to exercise such right and retain the then-current Property Manager (and in such case will be required to notify the Mezzanine Lender of such election). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the lender may not exercise its right to cause the termination of the Property Manager under the Loan Documents unless a Continuing Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to The Stanwix Whole Loan.

Transfer Restrictions

The Mezzanine Lender will have the right to transfer (i) up to and including 49% of the aggregate interests in the Mezzanine Loan to any person, and (B) any interest in the Mezzanine Loan (or any other interest therein) to a Qualified Transferee, in each case without the consent of the lender and without a Rating Agency Confirmation. The Mezzanine Lender may not transfer more than 49% of the aggregate interests in the Mezzanine Loan (when aggregated with all prior transfers) and no equity interests (other than publicly-traded interests) in the Mezzanine Lender in excess of 49% may not be transferred unless, in each case, (i) a Rating Agency Confirmation has been given with respect to such transfer, in which case the related transferee will thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee”; (ii) such transfer is to a Qualified Transferee; (iii) such transfer complies with the pledge provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement; (iv) such transfer complies with the requirements described in “—Foreclosure of Separate Collateral” above or (v) such transfer complies with the requirements described in “—Right to Purchase The Stanwix Whole Loan” above. Each transferee of a direct interest in the Mezzanine Loan (other than a Loan Pledgee (prior to its realization on the pledged Mezzanine Loan)) must (x) assume in writing the obligations of the Mezzanine Lender under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement and (y) with respect to any transferee that either is not a Qualified Transferee or will be a “Qualified Transferee” only pursuant to clauses (iii)(D) or (iii)(G) of such definition, deliver the Credit Support Documentation (which may be in the form of a joinder to the assignment and assumption agreement) from a creditworthy transferee affiliate. Each transferee (other than a Loan Pledgee (prior to its realization on the pledged Mezzanine Loan), or a participant in connection with a participation of a portion of the Mezzanine Loan) will also be required to remake, for the benefit of the Lender, each of the representations and warranties contained in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement made by the Mezzanine Lender as of the date of transfer, subject to certain exceptions and except to the extent that such transferee has knowledge that a default exists under the Mezzanine Loan, in which case, such transferee is required to describe the default. Any transfer of any interest in the Mezzanine Loan to the Borrower, the Mezzanine Borrower, or any Broad Affiliate of the Borrower or the Mezzanine Borrower will be void, unless such transfer results in the substantially simultaneous extinguishment of the Mezzanine Loan.

At least five Business Days after a transfer of an interest in the Mezzanine Loan, which when aggregated with all prior transfers of an interest in the Mezzanine Loan, results in more than 49% of the

 61 

 

aggregate interests in the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Lender will be required to provide to the lender and to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer has been made in accordance with the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, such certification to include the name and contact information of the applicable transferee, and copies of the executed assignment documents.

The Mortgage Lender may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, transfer all or any part of The Stanwix Whole Loan or any interest therein, provided that any direct transferee (other than (x) in connection with a securitization, provided the transfer is made subject to the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement or (y) a participant, a pledgee or a counterparty under a repurchase agreement) assumes in writing the obligations of the lender under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement accruing from and after such transfer and (except in connection with a securitization) agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, and notwithstanding any such transfer or subsequent transfer by a transferee of the lender, The Stanwix Whole Loan and the Loan Documents will be and remain a senior obligation to the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.

The Lender may not transfer any legal or beneficial interest in The Stanwix Whole Loan to the Borrower or to any Broad Affiliate of the Borrower (including without limitation the Mezzanine Borrower, or any Broad Affiliate thereof), provided, however, that (i) such prohibition will not apply to a transfer described in “—Right to Purchase The Stanwix Whole Loan” above by the lender to the Mezzanine Lender, and (ii) the Borrower or any Broad Affiliate of the Borrower may purchase any Certificates and no such purchase by the Borrower or any Broad Affiliate of the Borrower will cause the trustee of any securitization of The Stanwix Whole Loan or any portion thereof (or the Securitization Vehicle holding The Stanwix Whole Loan or any portion thereof) to be deemed to be a Broad Affiliate of the Borrower (but in no event may any Borrower Party or any Broad Affiliate of any Borrower Party serve as the “controlling holder”, “controlling class representative”, “operating advisor” or in a similar capacity with respect to The Stanwix Whole Loan or be appointed as a special servicer for The Stanwix Whole Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, the lender may not transfer any interest (including any participation therein) in The Stanwix Whole Loan to the Borrower, an Affiliate Holder (as defined in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement) or to a Broad Affiliate of the Borrower (any such transfer will be void) other than the Certificates, and such Certificates will be subject to the limitations on Affiliate Holders set forth in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.

(5)Agreements. The Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Borrower or The Stanwix Mortgaged Property, or the Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. The Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which the Borrower or The Stanwix Mortgaged Property are bound. The Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or The Stanwix Mortgaged Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in the Loan Agreement and (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
(6)Title. The Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property and good title to the balance of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property (as currently used) or the Borrower’s ability to repay The Stanwix Whole Loan. The Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC-1 financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on The Stanwix Mortgaged Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

After giving effect to The Stanwix Whole Loan, the fair saleable value of the Borrower’s assets exceeds
 Annex A-2 

 

and will, immediately following the making of The Stanwix Whole Loan, exceed the Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of the Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of The Stanwix Whole Loan, be greater than the Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. The Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of The Stanwix Whole Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of the Borrower). No Bankruptcy Action exists against the Borrower or any Principal, and neither the Borrower nor the Principal has ever been a party to a Bankruptcy Action. Neither the Borrower nor the Principal is contemplating either a Bankruptcy Action or the liquidation of all or a major portion of the Borrower’s assets or properties, and the Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any petition against it or any Principal.

(8)Full and Accurate Disclosure.

There is no material fact presently known to the Borrower which has not been disclosed to lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, The Stanwix Mortgaged Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor.

Section 2510.3-101. Compliance by the Borrower and the Guarantor with the provisions of this clause (9) will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. Neither the Guarantor nor the Borrower has any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and is now continuing with respect to any such plan. The performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA. In addition, (a) the Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (b) transactions by or with the Borrower are not subject to any state statute or regulation regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, and (c) none of the Borrower, the Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is at the Origination Date, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the Origination Date, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and none of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to the lender in writing.

There has not been committed by the Borrower, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against The Stanwix Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of the Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed, nor the use of The Stanwix Mortgaged Property by Tenants under the Leases and the contemplated accessory uses, will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or records, or agreements affecting The Stanwix Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition, operation or business of the Borrower or the Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by the Borrower or the Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and the Borrower and the Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
