(b) In the event that (i) the Borrower determines (subject to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement) not to fund any Underlying Additional Advance request with respect to the Asset due to either a default by Underlying Borrower or a failure to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent to the funding of such additional advance under the Underlying Loan Documents and such refusal to fund continues for ninety (90) days after the requested funding date for such Underlying Additional Advance request or (ii) a monetary or material non-monetary Underlying Loan Event of Default shall be continuing for ninety (90) days (the occurrence of any event described, and continuance of such event for the applicable period set forth, in the foregoing sub-clauses (i) and (ii) shall be referred to as a “Trigger Event”), then, within five (5) Business Days following any such Trigger Event, Borrower shall be required to make a mandatory principal repayment of the Loan to Lender in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Borrower’s Funding Percentage of the remaining unfunded future funding commitments on the Asset minus the amount of any CAE Cure Payment previously made or simultaneously being made by Borrower (such repayment, the “Future Funding Paydown”); provided, however, that no Future Funding Paydown shall result in the termination of the Loan, and, in the event that the Underlying Borrower is able at a later time to correct or cure such default, Underlying Loan Event of Default or failed condition precedent to funding of the Underlying Additional Advance as determined by Lender in its sole good faith discretion, or Lender agrees in writing to waive any such default, Underlying Loan Event of Default or failed condition precedent, then Lender shall be obligated to fund its pro rata share (based on the initial Advance Rate) of the applicable Underlying Additional Advance request with respect to which the applicable Trigger Event existed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as of the date of any Additional Advance Request, Lender is a Co-Lender Affiliate, and the applicable Affiliate of Lender that is the noteholder, co-lender or participant under the Underlying Loan agrees in writing to waive any such default, Underlying Loan Event of Default or failed condition precedent in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement and the Underlying Loan Documents, then Lender shall be deemed to have agreed to waive such default, Underlying Loan Event of Default or failed condition precedent hereunder.

2.08 Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Loan Agreement, the Note or the Loan (excluding (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof;

 

21


(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender or any company Controlling Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall, from time to time, upon receipt of prior written notice of such fact and a reasonably detailed description of the circumstances, either (a) promptly pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, or (b) prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, including all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, but without any Exit Fee.

(b) If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any company Controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital to be held by Lender or such company with respect to the Loan or reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder by an amount deemed by Lender to be material (taking into consideration Lender’s or such company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly, upon notice from Lender, either (a) pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such reduction, or (b) prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, including all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, but without any Exit Fee.

(c) If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

22


2.09 Taxes.

(a) All amounts payable by any Loan Party to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be paid free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any Taxes, unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is required by law. In that event, such Loan Party shall timely pay such withholding or deduction to the relevant Governmental Authority and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such Loan Party shall pay such additional amounts (for purposes of this Section 2.09, the “Additional Amounts”) as will result in the net amounts received by Lender (after taking account of such withholding or deduction, including such withholdings or deductions applicable to Additional Amounts) being equal to such amounts as would have been received by Lender had no such Tax been required to be withheld or deducted. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and pay to Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.09(a)) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender 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 Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.09(a), such Loan Party shall deliver to Lender 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 Lender.

(b) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender 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 Sections 2.09(c) and 2.09(d) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or before the date hereof, on or before the date such Person becomes a party to this Loan Agreement or a participant, as applicable, and at the reasonable request of Borrower, Lender and each assignee of Lender will provide to Borrower two copies of, as applicable, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or successor form) (with applicable attachments, including, in the case of a Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate reasonably satisfactory to Borrower to the effect that such Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section

 

23


881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”)). In addition, Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of 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 Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. The initial Lender shall provide to Borrower a properly executed IRS Form W-9, dated on or before the Closing Date, evidencing a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Tax from amounts payable by Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents pursuant to applicable laws in effect on the Closing Date. Borrower shall provide to Lender a properly executed IRS Form W-9 or other applicable forms as described by the IRS, dated on or before the Closing Date, evidencing a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Tax from amounts payable by Lender to Borrower under the Loan Documents pursuant to applicable laws in effect on the Closing Date. Each party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or this Section 2.09(c), as applicable, expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the other party in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Loan Agreement.

(e) If any Lender requests Borrower to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to an Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.09, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(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 2.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of

 

24


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 Tax 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 Tax 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 2.09 shall survive any assignment of rights by Lender, or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of this Loan Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loan by Borrower.

2.10 Breakage Indemnity.

Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date (other than a mandatory prepayment of the Loan by Borrower under Sections 2.08(a) or 2.08(b), except to the extent that the Underlying Borrower is paying Underlying Prepayment Consideration in connection with the related prepayment of the Underlying Loan) and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal of the Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise); provided, however, that any amounts due to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be offset by, and not in addition to, any Underlying Prepayment Consideration received by Lender pursuant to Section 3.04 that are attributable to breakage fees paid by the Underlying Borrower. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.11, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Prepayment Consideration which may be applicable to such prepayment under Section 2.05. Any amounts paid from Borrower to Lender under the second (2nd) sentence of Section 2.06 will be applied to amounts due from Borrower under this Section 2.11.

2.11 Exit Fee. Upon any prepayment of the principal balance of the Loan, in whole or in part, on or prior to the Payment Date in March 2017, including, without limitation, in connection with a Permitted Transfer, but excluding (i) a mandatory prepayment in connection with a principal prepayment on the Asset made by the Underlying Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05, (ii) any prepayment made during the continuance of an Underlying Loan Event of Default, (iii) any prepayment made in connection with a Future Funding Paydown, (iv) any CAE Cure Payment, or (v) any prepayment made pursuant to Requirements of Law or changes therein in accordance with Section 2.08, Borrower shall be required to pay the Exit Fee to Lender on the date of such prepayment.

 

25


2.12 Extension Options. Borrowers shall have two (2) options (collectively, the “Extension Options”) to extend the term of this Loan Agreement for a period of six (6) months each (the “Extension Terms”): (i) the first option (the “First Extension Option”) commencing on the Stated Maturity Date and ending on the First Extended Maturity Date and (ii) the second option (the “Second Extension Option”) commencing on the First Extended Maturity Date and ending on the Second Extended Maturity Date, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

(a) Borrower provides Lender with written notice of its election to exercise the applicable Extension Option not later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable; provided, however, that if Borrower shall receive notice of the exercise of the extension of the Underlying Loan Maturity Date from the Underlying Borrower (or Servicer, Co-Lender Agent or other Person) less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date or First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, then Borrower shall deliver notice of its exercise of the applicable Extension Option within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of notice with respect to the Underlying Loan (but in no event shall Borrower deliver its notice less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Stated Maturity Date or First Extended Maturity Date (as applicable));

(b) no (i) monetary or material non-monetary Default or (ii) Event of Default exists at the time such request is made and on the Stated Maturity Date or First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable; and

(c) Underlying Borrower shall have extended the term of the Underlying Loan for the extension term thereof and shall have satisfied all of the conditions to such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Loan Agreement in all material respects, including without limitation, an extension of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as of the date of Borrower’s exercise of the applicable Extension Option, Initial Lender or its Affiliate holds a Controlling Interest in the Loan and an Affiliate of Initial Lender is a co-lender or participant with respect to the Underlying Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement and such Affiliate agrees in writing to the exercise of the extension term of the Underlying Loan notwithstanding that the conditions under clause (c) are not satisfied, and provided that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) are satisfied, then the term of the Loan shall be similarly extended.

2.13 Additional Extension. In the event that (a) the Underlying Loan is not repaid in full by Underlying Borrower on the Underlying Loan Maturity Date (including any maturity date by virtue of acceleration thereof) or (b) an Underlying Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing for one hundred and twenty (120) days, the Maturity Date of the Loan may, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, be accelerated (if applicable) to, if as a result of the event described in (a) above, the Underlying Loan Maturity Date or, if as a result of

 

26


the event described in (b) above, the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such Underlying Loan Event of Default (whether or not the Underlying Loan Maturity Date has been accelerated); provided, however, that so long as (i) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default then exists (other than an Event of Default solely arising from the applicable Underlying Loan Event of Default as previously described), and (ii) no Control Appraisal Event then exists, then the Maturity Date of the Loan shall automatically extend for six (6) months to permit Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) to promptly commence and diligently pursue (A) a taking of title to the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, an exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof (in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.18) or (B) a resolution of the Underlying Loan (e.g., a restructuring or sale thereof) approved in writing by Lender in accordance with this Loan Agreement (an “Approved Underlying Loan Resolution”), provided that Borrower shall provide Lender with a satisfactory Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Loan (in the event Borrower does not then have the benefit of interest rate protection acceptable to Lender in its sole good faith discretion under the Underlying Loan) within ten (10) days of the commencement of such six (6) month period. If Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) is pursuing a foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof under clause (A) of the foregoing sentence and such six (6) month period is not sufficient to consummate such foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof and Lender is satisfied in its reasonable discretion that Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) has promptly commenced and is diligently prosecuting efforts to consummate same, then Lender shall further extend the Maturity Date of the Loan for an additional period of six (6) months to consummate such foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof. It is acknowledged and agreed that the additional six (6) month period under the foregoing sentence shall only be made available (subject to satisfaction of the above conditions) to permit Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) to consummate a foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof with respect to the Mortgaged Property but shall not extend the initial six (6) month period under clause (B) above with respect to consummation of an Approved Underlying Loan Resolution.

Upon the consummation of:

(a) a transfer to an REO Owner of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof in accordance with the foregoing and the REO Requirements, provided that: (w) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default then exists, (x) Borrower provides Lender with a satisfactory Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Loan (in the event Borrower does not then have the benefit of interest rate protection acceptable to Lender in its sole good faith discretion under the Underlying Loan), (y) no Control Appraisal Event then exists and (z) Borrower (or REO Owner) shall have cured all material non-monetary Underlying Events of Default that are reasonably susceptible to cure prior to the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to REO Owner (or with respect to any material non-monetary Underlying Event of Default that is not reasonably susceptible to cure prior to the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to REO Owner, Borrower (or REO Owner) shall promptly commence such cure after title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to REO Owner and shall diligently prosecute such cure to completion), Lender shall further extend the Maturity Date of the Loan to the later to occur of (i) one (1) year from the consummation of such transfer or (ii) the final Underlying Loan Maturity Date (as same may be extended pursuant to any

 

27


extension terms set forth in the Underlying Loan Documents) (the “Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date”); provided, however, that any extension of the Maturity Date of the Loan to the Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date under clause (a)(ii) shall be subject to Borrower’s (or REO Owner’s) satisfaction of each of the conditions to the exercise of any applicable extension terms as set forth in the Underlying Loan; provided, further, that if the conditions precedent to the exercise of such extension terms in the Underlying Loan are not capable of being satisfied prior to REO Owner taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and the time period between the date of the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such REO Owner and the scheduled Underlying Loan Maturity Date is not sufficient to cause such conditions to be satisfied, then REO Owner shall be given such additional period (not to exceed sixty (60) days from the date of transfer of the Mortgaged Property) as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy such conditions; or

(b) an Approved Underlying Loan Resolution (other than a sale of the Underlying Loan) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13 and Section 7.18, as applicable, provided that: (x) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default then exists, (y) Borrower provides Lender with a satisfactory Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Loan (in the event Borrower does not then have the benefit of interest rate protection acceptable to Lender in its sole good faith discretion under the Underlying Loan), and (z) no Control Appraisal Event then exists, Lender shall further extend the Maturity Date of the Loan to the later to occur of (i) one (1) year from the consummation of such Approved Underlying Loan Resolution or (ii) the earlier to occur of (A) the Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date and (B) the final maturity date of the Underlying Loan, pursuant to the terms of the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution; provided, however, that any extension of the Maturity Date of the Loan to the Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date or the final maturity date of the Underlying Loan, pursuant to the terms of the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution, if applicable, pursuant to the foregoing, shall be subject to Underlying Borrower’s satisfaction of each of the conditions to the exercise of any applicable extension terms as set forth in the Underlying Loan Documents (as such conditions may have been amended pursuant to any Approved Underlying Loan Resolution).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that Lender is a Co-Lender Affiliate and the applicable Affiliate of Lender that is the noteholder, co-lender or participant with respect to the Underlying Loan agrees in writing to any restructuring or sale of the Underlying Loan or REO Property pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement, then Lender shall be deemed to have approved such restructuring or sale hereunder and same shall be deemed to be an Approved Underlying Loan Resolution and, if applicable, the Maturity Date of the Loan shall be extended to the final maturity date pursuant to the terms of the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution (as same may be extended pursuant to any extension terms set forth in the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution subject to Underlying Borrower’s satisfaction of each of the conditions to the exercise thereof); and (ii) none of Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate thereof shall foreclose (or approve a foreclosure) upon or otherwise acquire title (or approve such acquisition) to the Mortgaged Property without satisfying the REO Requirements in accordance with Section 7.18.

SECTION 3 Payments; Computations; Cash Management Arrangements.

3.01 Payments.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the Note, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender at an account designated by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Payment Date (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

3.03 Cash Management Arrangements. The Underlying Loan Documents provide, or Borrower or Servicer (or Co-Lender Agent) has delivered a notice to the Underlying Borrower which provides, that Underlying Borrower shall pay all amounts payable under the Underlying Loan to an account of the Servicer.

If a Servicer forwards any Available Income with respect to the Asset to Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate thereof rather than directly to the Deposit Account, Borrower shall (i) redeliver an executed copy of the Servicer Notice and Agreement to the applicable Servicer, and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to forward such amounts directly to the Deposit Account, (ii) hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Lender and (iii) immediately deposit in the Deposit Account any such amounts.

Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b) Borrower also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

(c) The powers conferred on Lender are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for Lender’s (or Lender’s officers’, directors’ or employees’) own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.05 Performance by Lender of Borrower’s Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents after the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period and Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the out-of-pocket expenses of Lender actually incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.

4.06 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Borrower be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender (whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Loan Documents, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Lender against, the Secured Obligations (in each case, whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell (on a servicing released basis, at Lender’s option), assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral and or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender (or Lender’s officers, directors or employees). If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.03(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.

4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Lender’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise.

In the event that, immediately prior to the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to the REO Owner, Borrower shall hold 100% of the Underlying Loan, then in addition to delivery of a pledge agreement with respect to the REO Owner Equity and execution and delivery of mezzanine loan documents or amendments and restatements of the Loan Documents and other documents reflecting a mezzanine loan structure as provided above, in addition to the other applicable REO

(a) Borrower agrees to hold Lender and each of its officers, directors, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any suit, action, claim or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, except, in each case, to the extent arising from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Lender in connection with the Asset (from and after Lender’s acquisition of title thereto pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents or a transfer-in-lieu thereof) for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of the Asset, Borrower will save, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation of Borrower thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Borrower. Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender as and when billed by Lender for all Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Lender’s rights under this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its outside counsel (including all reasonable fees and disbursements incurred in any action or proceeding between Borrower and an Indemnified Party or between an Indemnified Party and any third party relating hereto). This Section 11.03(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with: (i) the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, any fees and expenses due to the Loan Servicer (other than master servicing fees in excess of the Loan Servicing Fee) and (ii) any amendment, modification or supplement to this Loan Agreement, the Note and/or any other Loan Document, promptly after written demand therefor by Lender, including, without limitation, in each case, (A) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of outside counsel to Lender, (B) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender with respect to Collateral under this Loan Agreement, (C) fees relating to the filing of UCC financing statements, and (D) fees relating to UCC searches for Borrower in jurisdictions listed on Schedule 5.

11.13 Hypothecation and Pledge of Collateral.

Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to segregate any Collateral delivered to Lender by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall be obligated to provide for the return of the Collateral to Borrower upon payment in full of the obligations under the Loan.

 

57


11.14 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign or transfer all or any of its rights or obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall give Borrower notice of any such assignment or transfer within five (5) Business Days after the effective date thereof. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower or Guarantor in the possession of Lender from time to time to assignees (including prospective assignees) provided that any such potential assignee executes a confidentiality agreement (which confidentiality agreement may be posted on a data site and acknowledged by entry in such data site). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment by Lender shall materially increase Borrower’s obligations or materially reduce the rights of Borrower hereunder. Each Lender or such Lender’s designee, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, or if designated by Lender, the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each assignment to which it is a party and a record that identifies each owner of an interest in the portion of the Loan held by such Lender, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”) and shall record all transfers of such interest in the Loan, in such Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error (which manifest error, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include a failure to record, or error in recording, any assignment of the Loan), and the Borrower and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes. To the extent the Borrower is not designated to maintain a Register, upon request of Borrower and reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender, such applicable Lender shall provide to Borrower any information reasonably requested by Borrower that is recorded on such Lender’s Register.

(b) Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more lenders or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in the Loan or any other interest of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by Lender of participating interests to a Participant, Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement to Borrower shall remain unchanged, Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, Lender shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Loan Agreement and the Note are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Loan Agreement and the Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as Lender under this Loan Agreement or the Note; provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lender the proceeds thereof. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that each Participant shall deliver to the participating Lender such forms and other certifications as provided in Section 2.09(c) and (d)); provided that each Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09(e) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section. No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment

 

58


under Sections 2.08 or 2.09, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participating interest shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or such disclosure is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Loan Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.14(a) and (b) above, (i) in no event shall Lender assign all or any portion of the Loan or grant any participation interests therein to Underlying Borrower or an Affiliate of Underlying Borrower (provided that for purposes of this Section 11.14(c), the reference to “ten percent (10%)” in the definition of “Affiliate” herein shall be deemed to mean and refer to “five percent (5%)”) and (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall exist, any such assignment or participation shall be to a Qualified Transferee and Lender shall not assign all or any portion of the Loan or grant any participation interests therein to any (A) Prohibited Transferee or (B) Limited Transferee, unless with respect to any such assignment or participation to a Limited Transferee, Lender has complied with the ROFO Procedures (as defined below).

If Lender intends to assign all or any portion of the Loan or grant any participation interest in the Loan (such assignment or participation, a “ROFO Transfer”) to any Limited Transferee, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a right of first offer (the “ROFO”) with respect thereto upon the following terms and conditions (the “ROFO Procedures”). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall provide Borrower with a notice (an “Offer Notice”) that it intends to assign or grant a participation interest with respect to all or any portion of the Loan (the “Offered Interest”), the purchase price for the Offered Interest (the “ROFO Price”) and any other material terms relating to the sale of such Offered Interest. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Offer Notice (the “Exercise Period”), Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay all or the applicable portion of the Loan in the amount of the ROFO Price, without payment of any Exit Fee (the “ROFO Prepayment”), by giving written notice of such election within the Exercise Period (the “ROFO Election”). If Borrower does not timely make a ROFO Election or affirmatively waives its ROFO rights, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its right to make a ROFO Prepayment. If Borrower makes a ROFO Election, Borrower shall be required to make the ROFO Prepayment within ten (10) Business Days of the ROFO Election. If Borrower does not timely make a ROFO Election or

 

59


affirmatively waives its ROFO or if, after making a timely ROFO Election, Borrower fails to make the ROFO Prepayment within ten (10) Business Days of the ROFO Election, Lender shall be free to proceed to consummate the ROFO Transfer with respect to the Offered Interest to any Qualified Transferee including any Limited Transferee at a price not less than 97% of the ROFO Price. If Lender desires to effectuate the ROFO Transfer with respect to Offered Interest to any Limited Transferee for a price of less than 97% of the ROFO Price, then provided no Event of Default then exists, then such ROFO Transfer of the Offered Interest shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.14(c).

(d) Lender shall have the right to split the Note into two or more floating rate notes or components bearing different interest rate spreads in connection with any assignment or participation of the Loan, provided that no such restructuring shall (i) change the Maturity Date, (ii) result in an initial weighted average interest rate spread of such notes or components as of the effective date of such restructuring in excess of the Spread immediately prior thereto, and which weighted average interest rate spread shall remain throughout the term of the Loan notwithstanding any sequential application of principal payments among such notes, other than following an Event of Default or in connection with a casualty or condemnation, (iii) change the principal amortization requirements hereunder or (iv) otherwise materially increase Borrower’s obligations or materially decrease Borrower’s rights hereunder. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver such replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation; provided, however, that none of such amendments, modifications or other documents shall materially increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations or materially reduce Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, further, that (x) Lender shall be responsible for the payment of all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to entering into such replacement notes, restatements, amendments, supplements and other modifications, as applicable, and (y) Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all of Borrower’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to entering into such replacement notes, restatements, amendments, supplements and other modifications, as applicable, provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay for any such costs and expenses in excess of $10,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not create any participation or similar ownership interest in a Note unless either (1) such participation or similar ownership interest entitles the holder to a specified percentage of one or more particular payments of principal, interest, or both on the Note, except in the event of a credit-related default or delinquency on the Note, in which case such participation or ownership interest may be subordinated to one or more otherwise similar participation or ownership interests in the Note, or (2) Lender delivers to Borrower an opinion of nationally recognized counsel to the effect that such action will not cause Borrower or any portion thereof to be a “taxable mortgage pool” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

11.15 Servicing.

(a) Borrower covenants to cause the Asset and the Underlying Loan to be serviced by Hanover Street Capital, LLC (“Hanover”) or another third party servicer that is not an Affiliate of Borrower and is reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Servicer”) pursuant to a servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender (“Servicing Agreement”), and otherwise in conformity with accepted customary and prudent servicing practices in the industry for the same type of assets as the Asset and the Underlying Loan and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Guarantor provides for assets owned by Guarantor or its Affiliates (“Accepted Servicing Practices”). Borrower shall not replace the Servicer and/or enter into (or consent to any other Person entering into) a new Servicing Agreement with respect to the Asset without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Borrower agrees that Lender is the collateral assignee of all servicing records of Borrower with respect to the Asset, if any, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of the Asset (the “Servicing Records”), and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s rights relating to the Asset and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Borrower or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to deliver them promptly to Lender or its designee (including the Custodian) at Lender’s written request.

(c) Borrower shall permit Lender to inspect Borrower’s or its Affiliates’ servicing facilities pursuant to Section 11.16 below, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Lender that Borrower or its Affiliates, as the case may be, have the ability to manage the Asset as provided in this Loan Agreement.

(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into a Servicer Notice and Agreement with the Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(e) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by one or more servicers/trustees (any such servicer/trustee, together with its agent’s, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Loan Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Loan Servicer, which may be done by Lender pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and Loan Servicer. Loan Servicer may, at any time, delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities for the servicing and administration of the Loan to a sub-servicer or sub-servicers. Borrower shall be responsible for any costs and expenses of Loan Servicer to the extent such costs and expenses would otherwise be payable by Borrower if incurred by Lender or Lender hereunder. Lender and Borrower agree that Hanover shall be the initial Loan Servicer hereunder. Borrower agrees that it shall be required to pay the Loan Servicer an annual servicing fee of $21,000 during the term of the Loan, payable on a monthly basis ($1,750 per month) on each Payment Date (the “Loan Servicing Fee”). Notwithstanding any collection of the Loan Servicing Fee by Lender on behalf of Loan Servicer, the Loan Servicing Fee will be deemed to have been paid directly to Servicer.

 

61


11.16 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right to perform one or more due diligence reviews with respect to the Asset, which review shall not be performed more than once in any 12-month period unless an Event of Default shall be continuing or such review is necessitated by reason of specific facts or circumstances, for purposes of verifying eligibility and compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, and Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days’) prior notice to Borrower (or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice), Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Asset in the possession or under the control of Borrower at their respective normal locations. Borrower also shall make available to Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Asset. In those circumstances, Lender, at its option, has the right to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Asset, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on the Mortgaged Property and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Asset. Except as provided herein, Borrower further agrees that Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Lender’s activities pursuant to this Section 11.16 performed during the continuance of an Event of Default or if such activities are necessitated by reason of specific facts or circumstances, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder (but in all other instances, such inspections shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense). Lender agrees it shall use best efforts not to disrupt the normal course of business of Borrower while exercising its rights under this Section 11.16.

11.17 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.18 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may exercise rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as

 

62


specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or sale under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Collateral; or (e) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):

(a) fraud, material misrepresentation, willful misconduct or gross negligence by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor, any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor or Manager, or any of their respective agents or representatives in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO);

(b) (i) the misappropriation or intentional misapplication of any of the following funds to the extent actually received by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower: (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) any Receipts from the Collateral which Borrower fails to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Deposit Account in accordance with Section 3.03;

(c) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Material Modification with respect to any of the actions set forth in clauses (xvi)-(xxxi) of the definition of “Material Modification”, as and to the extent required under Section 7.12 hereof; and

(d) Borrower’s failure to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

SCHEDULE 6

REPRESENTATIONS RE: UNDERLYING LOAN

With respect to the Underlying Loan and/or the Asset, as applicable, Borrower hereby represents and warrants, as of the date herein specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, that:

(a) Whole Loan; Ownership of Underlying Loan. Unless the Asset is a Participation Interest or A-Note, the Asset is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Borrower is the sole owner and holder of the Asset and has good and marketable title thereto, has full right, power and authority to sell and assign the Asset free and clear of any interest or claim of a third party, and, upon the completion of the assignee information therein and Lender’s countersignature where applicable, the assignment to Lender constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of the Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering the Asset. Prior to Substantial Completion (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) of the project improvements, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) may not be replaced without Borrower’s written approval unless such replacement Agent is an Eligible Assignee (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement).

(b) Loan Document Status. The Mortgage Note, Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreements executed by or on behalf of Underlying Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with the Underlying Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Underlying Borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in the Underlying Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render the Underlying Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to Underlying Borrower with respect to the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Underlying Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Borrower, or to Borrower’s Knowledge, Underlying Lender in connection with the origination of the Underlying Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Underlying Loan Documents.

 

Sch. 6-1


(c) Mortgage Provisions. The Underlying Loan Documents contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(d) Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except prior to the Closing Date by written instruments set forth in the Asset File (i) the material terms of the Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Underlying Loan guaranty, and other Underlying Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect; (ii) neither the Mortgaged Property, nor any portion thereof, has been released from the lien of the Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property; and (iii) neither Underlying Borrower nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Underlying Loan. Except as contained in a written document included in the Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers consented to by Borrower or Underlying Lender, as applicable, with respect to the Underlying Loan that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Underlying Loan on or after the Closing Date.

(e) Lien; Valid Assignment. Each of the Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is assignable without the consent of Underlying Borrower subject to customary restrictions regarding qualified transferees as set forth in the Underlying Loan Documents, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing. The Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on Underlying Borrower’s fee (or if identified on the Schedule I, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of the Underlying Loan (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Closing Date, to the Knowledge of Borrower, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Knowledge of Borrower (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(f) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. The Mortgaged Property securing the Underlying Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the principal amount of the Underlying Loan (or, if the Underlying Loan is

 

Sch. 6-2


secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (iii) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (v) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations, if applicable; and (vi) if the Underlying Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan, the lien of the mortgage for such other Mortgaged Loan, provided that none of which items (i) through (vi), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or Underlying Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (vi) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by Underlying Lender or Borrower, as applicable, thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Borrower nor, to the Knowledge of Borrower, any other holder of the Underlying Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(g) Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same mortgage as the Underlying Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except if the Underlying Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Knowledge of Borrower, as of the Closing Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (e) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in Underlying Borrower.

(h) Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the Asset File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, the Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to Underlying Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The Mortgage or Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Underlying Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

(i) UCC Filings. If the Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, Borrower or Underlying Lender, as applicable, has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Underlying Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property owned by Underlying Borrower and located on the Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the Underlying Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Mortgage creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(j) Condition of Property. Borrower or Underlying Lender, as applicable, inspected or caused to be inspected the Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Underlying Loan and within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date.

(k) Taxes and Assessments.

For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(l) Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Knowledge of Borrower as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending, and there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

(m) Actions Concerning the Underlying Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Knowledge of Borrower as of the Closing Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving Underlying Borrower, guarantor, or Underlying Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (i) Underlying Borrower’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (iii) Underlying Borrower’s ability to perform under the Underlying Loan, (iv) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (v) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Underlying Loan Documents or (vi) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

With respect to the Underlying Loan, except as set forth in the Loan Agreement (including as set forth in Schedule I thereto), an initial advance in the amount of $14,562,164.21 has been fully disbursed as of the date of origination of the Underlying Loan, and Underlying Lender’s obligation to make additional advances not to exceed $102,937,835.79 are conditioned upon Underlying Borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt and approval of with respect to any advance that would cause the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Loan to exceed $18,000,000, the executed general contractor’s agreement (together with a collateral assignment of the same), evidence that any and all building permits and government approvals required for commencement of the vertical construction and project improvements have been obtained and are in full force and effect (which may be a Class I Phased Building Permit (as defined in the Underling Loan Agreement)), receipt of valid certificates of insurance, and receipt of executed lien waivers. The final advance upon final completion of the project is conditioned upon evidence of such final completion, certificates from the general contract, architect and engineer, executed lien waivers, as-built plans and specifications, and such other documents as may be reasonably required.

(p) Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is required pursuant to the Underlying Loan Agreement to be, insured by a property insurance policy or Builder’s Risk insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the Underlying Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A/X” from A.M. Best Company, or (ii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible), except for the hazard of a named storm windstorm which may be limited to $100,000,000 in amount of coverage, not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Underlying Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by Underlying Borrower and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgaged Property is also required to be covered pursuant to the Underlying Loan Documents for soft costs that are recurring costs, including interest reserve costs and delayed opening, which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months.

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, Underlying Borrower is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, once construction of the project improvements commences.

 

Sch. 6-5


The Mortgaged Property is required to be covered pursuant to the Underlying Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by Borrower for loans originated or acquired by Borrower or its Affiliates, and in any event not less than $25 million per occurrence and in the aggregate.

Upon Substantial Completion (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) of the Mortgaged Property, if the Mortgaged Property is located in seismic zones 3 or 4, an architectural or engineering consultant will perform an analysis of the Mortgaged Property in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, will be based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concludes that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on the Mortgaged Property will be obtained by an insurer rated at least “A-:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Underlying Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Underlying Loan, Underlying Lender or Borrower (or a servicer or trustee appointed by Underlying Lender or Borrower), as applicable, having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Closing Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name Underlying Lender and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Lender. The Underlying Loan obligates Underlying Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at Underlying Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes Underlying Lender to maintain such insurance at Underlying Borrower’s cost and expense and to charge Underlying Borrower for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to Underlying Lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to Underlying Lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Underlying or Borrower, as applicable.

(r) No Encroachments. To the Knowledge of Borrower based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination of the Underlying Loan and the Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of the Underlying Loan, except to the extent the same is not true as a result of the fact that the Tentative Plat (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) has not yet been recorded, (i) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of the Underlying Loan are within the boundaries of the Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy, (ii) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and (iii) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

(u) Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of any prior date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to originate, acquire and/or hold (as applicable) the Mortgage Note in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of the Underlying Loan; provided, however, that Borrower makes no representation regarding the authorization of any holder other than itself or any Affiliate, in each case, if applicable.

 

Sch. 6-7


(v) Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to the Mortgage if it is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Knowledge of Borrower, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by Underlying Lender.

(w) Local Law Compliance. To the Knowledge of Borrower, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Borrower for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of the Mortgaged Property securing the Underlying Loan as of the date of origination of the Underlying Loan and as of the Closing Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes, land laws and laws and regulations relating to affordable housing (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or as to which the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by the Borrower for loans similar to the Underlying Loan that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property.

Additional advances of the loan that would cause the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Loan to exceed $18,000,000 are conditioned upon Underlying Borrower’s provision of evidence that all necessary Governmental Approvals have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The Underlying Loan requires Underlying Borrower to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
