3596 ALPINE AVE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”);

 

CF REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Guarantor”);

 

RODIN GLOBAL PROPERTY TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Substitute Guarantor”); and

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-C2, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C2 (“Noteholder”), whose Master Servicer is Midland Loan Services, a division of PNC Bank, National Association (“Midland”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.On or about July 11, 2017, UBS AG, by and through its branch office at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York (“Original Lender”) made a certain loan and extended credit in the amount of $4,500,000.00 (the “Loan”) to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined in Exhibit “A”).

 

B.The Loan is evidenced by the Note (as defined in Exhibit “A”) and secured, in part, by the Mortgage (as defined in Exhibit “A”).  The Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgage and such security agreements, guarantees and other documents and instruments executed by Borrower and others from time to time in connection with the Loan are hereinafter referred to collectively as, the “Loan Documents.”

 

C.Noteholder is the current owner and holder of the Note and Loan and all collateral thereof and agreements and documents relating thereto, including the Loan Documents.

 

D.Borrower and Original Guarantor have requested Noteholder’s consent to the assumption by Substitute Guarantor of the liabilities and obligations of Original Guarantor under the Guaranty (as defined in Exhibit “A”) and the Environmental Indemnity (as defined in Exhibit “A”) (the “Guarantor Substitution”).  

 

E.Upon the conditions set forth herein, Noteholder is willing to consent to (i) the Guarantor Substitution and (ii) the release of Original Guarantor from all liability under the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity accruing after such Guarantor Substitution (collectively, the “Transaction”).

TERMS

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, Borrower, Original Guarantor, Substitute Guarantor, and Noteholder agree as follows:

 

 

1.Consent by Noteholder.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Noteholder hereby consents to the Transaction.  

 

 


 

2.No Release of Borrower; Borrowers Ratification.  As a further condition to Noteholder entering into this Agreement and consenting to the Transaction, Noteholder has required Borrower to ratify its liabilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all its obligations and liabilities under the Note and the other Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby consents to the Transaction.  Noteholder does not consent to the release of Borrower from any of its liabilities or obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to in any way release Borrower from any liability or obligation under the Note or the other Loan Documents.

 

3.Assumption by Substitute Guarantor.  As a condition to Noteholder entering into this Agreement and giving its consent to the Transaction, Noteholder has required that Substitute Guarantor assume the obligations and liabilities of Original Guarantor as “Guarantor” under the Guaranty and as “Non-Borrower Indemnitor” under the Environmental Indemnity, and Noteholder would not be entering into this Agreement without such assumption of liability by Substitute Guarantor.  Substitute Guarantor has a direct or indirect interest in Borrower and the transactions described herein are a benefit to Borrower and Substitute Guarantor. Substitute Guarantor hereby assumes and agrees, for the benefit of Noteholder and its successors and assigns, to be bound by, observe and perform, all past (to the extent unsatisfied), present and future liabilities, terms, provisions, covenants and obligations of Original Guarantor as “Guarantor” under the Guaranty and as “Non-Borrower Indemnitor” under the Environmental Indemnity.  Substitute Guarantor agrees that it will be bound by all of such terms and provisions, promptly pay all such liabilities and promptly observe and perform all such covenants and obligations, with the same force and effect as if Substitute Guarantor had originally executed and delivered the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity instead of Original Guarantor and as if Original Guarantor has never and/or had never been released of any obligation or liability under any Loan Document.  For the period from the inception of time up to and including the Effective Date, a reference in any Loan Document, including without limitation the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity, to Original Guarantor, therefore, shall also be deemed a reference to Substitute Guarantor. For the period from and after the Effective Date, a reference in any Loan Document, including without limitation the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity, to Original Guarantor shall be deemed a reference to only Substitute Guarantor. Substitute Guarantor hereby consents to the release by Noteholder of Original Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents to the extent the same arise out of or in connection with any act or omission occurring after the Effective Date; Substitute Guarantor hereby acknowledges that any such release of Original Guarantor shall not affect Substitute Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under the Guaranty or Environmental Indemnity.

 

4.Release of Original Guarantor.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and as set forth below, Noteholder hereby releases Original Guarantor from further personal liability under the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the Effective Date which are not caused by, or do not arise out of, any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the Effective Date; provided, however, the provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation under the Note or the other Loan Documents of Original Guarantor for any acts or events occurring, or obligations arising, prior to or simultaneously with, the Effective Date; and (ii) impair the right of Noteholder to bring suit against Original Guarantor for any acts or events occurring, or obligations arising, prior to or simultaneously with the Effective Date.  Nothing contained in this section shall (1) be deemed to be a release or impairment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the lien of the Loan Documents upon the Property, or (2) preclude Noteholder from foreclosing the Loan Documents in case of any default or from enforcing any of the other rights of Noteholder except as stated in this paragraph.

 

 


 

5.Conditions.  It shall be a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement that on or before the execution hereof by Noteholder: (i) Noteholder shall have received recent financial statements from Substitute Guarantor and such other information as Noteholder may reasonably require to confirm that Substitute Guarantor satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of “Qualified Replacement Guarantor” (as defined in the Loan Agreement); (ii) Noteholder shall have received copies of the organizational documents of Substitute Guarantor (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Noteholder), including resolutions, consents, articles of incorporation, bylaws, good standing certificate, and other relevant organizational certifications, as applicable and (iii) Borrower, Original Guarantor and Substitute Guarantor shall execute and/or deliver to Noteholder such additional information as may be reasonably required by Noteholder to confirm that Substitute Guarantor satisfies the requirements set forth in the definition of “Approved Replacement Guarantor” as defined in the Loan Agreement.
