(b)           Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, provided each of the Transaction Conditions Precedent (as hereinafter defined) shall have been satisfied (or waived by Buyer), Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller a written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto of each Transaction (a “Confirmation”). In the absence of execution

and delivery by Buyer of a Confirmation for a proposed Transaction, Buyer shall under no circumstance be deemed to have agreed to enter into such Transaction. Such Confirmation shall describe the Purchased Loan(s) (and, in this connection, shall set forth (a) the name of the borrower with respect to the related Purchased Loan, (b) a description (including the date) of the loan agreement or other document, agreement or instrument pursuant to which the related Purchased Loan is made or governed, and (c) the initial or then outstanding principal amount of the related Purchased Loan) which shall be the subject of the proposed Transaction, shall identify Buyer and Seller, and shall set forth (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase Price for such Purchased Loan(s), (iii) the Repurchase Date, (iv) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Transaction and (v) any additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement. Each Confirmation shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein at length. With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on each Reset Date for the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine, in accordance with the terms of the Side Letter, the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify Seller of such rate for such period on the Reset Date. For purposes of this Section 2(b), the “Transaction Conditions Precedent” shall be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to any proposed Transaction if:

 

(1)           no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction;

 

(2)           Seller shall have certified to Buyer in writing the acquisition cost of such Purchased Loans (including therein reasonable supporting documentation required by Buyer, if any);

 

(3)           the representations and warranties made by Seller in any of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in respect of the Eligible Loan in question in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction;

 

(4)           Buyer shall have received the Diligence Materials and completed to Buyer’s satisfaction its due diligence review and financial modeling with respect to the assets proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller;

 

(5)           Buyer or the Custodian on behalf of Buyer shall have received the applicable Transaction documents and other documents and opinions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement. The Custodian shall have delivered a trust receipt satisfactory to Buyer no later than 3 p.m. on the Purchase Date;

 

(6)           Buyer shall have determined, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2(a) of this Agreement, that the assets proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller in such Transaction are Eligible Loans;

 

(7)           none of the following shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(i)            an event or events shall have occurred resulting in the effective absence of a “securities market” for securities backed by mortgage loans; or

 

15



 

(ii)           there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the “repo market” or comparable “lending market”.

 

If any of the events in this subparagraph (7) shall occur, Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for the Purchase Fee on a pro rata basis;

 

(8)           the purchase by Buyer from Seller of the Purchased Loans which are not CDO Assets  shall be completed prior to the Commitment Expiration Date and the aggregate of the Purchase Prices for all Transactions shall not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price; and

 

(9)           on or prior to the Purchase Date for the initial Transaction hereunder and from time to time thereafter as Buyer shall reasonably request, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer an opinion of Seller’s counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, addressing the matters set forth at Exhibit XII.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any Transaction hereunder be consummated until such time as Buyer has received all of the following, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer:  (i) the fully executed Custodial Agreement and related trust receipt; (ii) a Depository Agreement with respect to the Collection Account executed by the Depository; (iii) such legal opinions as Buyer may reasonably require; (iv) a Direction Letter, (v) Seller’s organizational documents, to the extent not delivered as of the date hereof, and (vi) a fully executed Side Letter and the Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)           Each Confirmation shall be executed by Seller and Buyer and, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby.

 

(d)           Seller may, at its option so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, increase or decrease the Outstanding Purchase Price with respect to any Transaction subsequent to the Purchase Date; provided, however, that such action on the part of Seller shall not be permitted if it would create a Margin Deficit.

 

(e)           Seller shall pay Buyer on or prior to the initial Purchase Date a one-time, up front amount (the “Purchase Fee”) as set forth in the Side Letter; provided, however, that solely for purposes of calculating the Purchase Fee hereunder, the Maximum Committed Aggregate Purchase Price shall be deemed to be $75,000,000.

 

(f)            Each Transaction entered into between Buyer and Seller shall remain outstanding from the initial Purchase Date until the earlier of the Repurchase Date or the Commitment Expiration Date. The spread over LIBOR stated in the related Confirmation for each Transaction will not change for such Transaction until February 15, 2008.

 

(g)           Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction and repurchase any or all of the Purchased Loans from Buyer on two (2) Business Days’ notice on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”).

 

16



 

If Seller terminates any Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence, then, except as provided below, Seller shall pay to Buyer a termination fee (the “Exit Fee”) on the Early Repurchase Date. The Exit Fee shall be calculated as the product of (i) the Outstanding Purchase Price and (ii) the following amount:  (A) if the Early Repurchase Date is less than one year from the Repurchase Date, no Exit Fee will be payable, (B) if the Early Repurchase Date is at least one year but less than two years from the Repurchase Date, [****], and (C) if the Early Repurchase Date is at least two years from the Repurchase Date, [****]. Additionally:

 

(i)            No Exit Fee will be payable for the early repurchase of Purchased Assets resulting from (a) the sale of the underlying assets to Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, (b) the sale of the underlying assets to Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, under a Master Repurchase Agreement, (c) the sale of the underlying assets to a securitization vehicle for which Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, are acting in a lead or co-lead manager or co-manager role, (d) maturity of the underlying loan, (e) contractual defaults by either party to the underlying loan documents and agreements, (f) any paydowns, prepayments or defaults on the Purchased Assets, (g) any roll of a Purchased Asset into a new Transaction, (h) pay-offs resulting from a margin call or Market Value calculation dispute between Seller and Buyer including, without limitation, for a Margin Call in accordance with Section 13(ix) hereof, (i) Seller’s Termination of a Transaction in response to a demand by Buyer pursuant to Section 2(i) hereof or (j) in the event additional costs are imposed by Buyer pursuant to Section 2(j) hereof and Seller elects to terminate a transaction or transactions as a result thereof.

 

(ii)           Additional Purchased Assets acceptable to Buyer may be substituted and no Exit Fee will be payable in connection with such substitutions. No other substitutions will be exempt from payment of the Exit Fee.

 

(iii)          No Exit Fee will be payable for the early repurchase of any Purchased Asset which is a CDO I Asset or a CDO II Asset.

 

Such notice shall set forth the Early Repurchase Date and shall identify with particularity the Purchased Assets to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date.

 

(h)           In the event that an Undrawn Available Amount exists at the end of any calendar quarter, Seller shall remit to Buyer a non-usage fee (the “Non-Usage Fee”) reasonably promptly upon written notice from Buyer to Seller that such Undrawn Available Amount exists. The Non-Usage Fee shall be calculated as the product of (i) the Undrawn Available Amount and (ii) [****] divided by 360 for each day such Undrawn Available Amount exists during such calendar quarter.

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

 

(i)            shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Loan or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for any taxes on Buyer’s overall net income); or

 

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

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable which is actually incurred by Buyer. If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2(i), it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. In the event that Seller elects to terminate a Transaction in response to a demand by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2(i), no Exit Fee with respect to such termination shall be due by Seller and the Purchase Fee relating to that Transaction shall be refunded on a pro rata basis. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans.

 

(j)            If Buyer 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 Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer 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 does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction which is actually incurred by Buyer. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and

 

18



 

binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans.

 

(k)           Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of Buyer (including all reasonable legal fees) associated with the purchase of any Eligible Loan under this Agreement and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel to Buyer in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents.

 

(l)            Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, Transactions entered into hereunder shall be at the sole discretion of Buyer. Buyer is not required to enter into any Transaction and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, reject for inclusion in any Transaction any Eligible Loans offered for sale hereunder by Seller.

 

(m)          In the event that the Repurchase Date in respect of the CDO Assets occurs more than six (6) months after the related Purchase Date, the pricing terms set forth in the Side Letter relating to the CDO Assets shall no longer be applicable and the pricing terms set forth for all other Eligible Assets shall apply to such CDO Assets; provided, however, that such CDO Assets shall still be included in any calculation of the Maximum CDO Aggregate Purchase Price.

 

3.             MARGIN MAINTENANCE

 

(a)           If at any time the product of the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Loans and Buyer’s Margin Ratio shall be less than the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans, (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (a “Margin Call”) require Seller to transfer to Buyer (A) cash or (B) Additional Loans acceptable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (such cash or Additional Loans paid by Seller to Buyer are herein referred to as “Additional Loans”), so that the sum of cash plus the product of (i) the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans and such Additional Loans and (ii) Buyer’s Margin Ratio shall at least equal the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price. Any cash received by Buyer pursuant to a Margin Call shall be applied to reduce the Outstanding Purchase Price. Seller’s failure to cure any Margin Deficit as required by the preceding sentence prior to expiration of one (1) Business Day after notice shall constitute an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents and shall entitle Buyer to exercise its remedies under Section 14 of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the liquidation remedy provided for in Section 14(iv) of this Agreement).

 

(b)           If any Margin Call is given by Buyer under Section 3(a) of this Agreement, Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Loans as provided in Section 3(a) by no later than one (1) Business Day after the giving of such notice. Notice required pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Agreement may be given by any means, including by telephone, telecopier or email transmission. The failure of Buyer on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under Section 3(a) of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such default or change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer or Seller to do so at a later date. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under Section 3(a) of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for such party.

 

19



 

(c)           If at any time the product of the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Loans and Buyer’s Margin Ratio shall be greater than the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer to transfer to Seller (1) cash or (2) Purchased Loans that become subject to this Agreement as Additional Loans so that the product of (i) the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans and such Additional Loans and (ii) Buyer’s Margin Ratio shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price. In no event shall any Purchased Loans that did not become subject to this Agreement in the form of Additional Loans be released from the lien of this Agreement due to a Margin Excess.

 

(d)           If any notice is given by Seller under Section 3(c) of this Agreement, Buyer shall transfer cash or Additional Loans as provided in Section 3(c) by no later than one (1) Business Day after the giving of such notice. Notice required pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Agreement may be given by any means, including by telephone, telecopier or email transmission. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Seller on any one or more occasions to exercise its rights under Section 3(c) of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or limit such party’s rights under Section 3(c) of this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for such party. In addition, in no event shall Buyer be required to create a Margin Deficit in order to comply with Section 3(d) of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Agreement shall be used to reduce the Repurchase Price.

 

(f)            If any representation or warranty within this Agreement is in fact not accurate, then notwithstanding any of the knowledge qualifiers, Buyer has the right to mark the asset to market with such frequency as deemed prudent in accordance with this Section 3.

 

4.             INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

 

(a)           The Collection Account shall be established at the Depository concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer. Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Collection Account. Seller shall instruct the Servicer to deposit all Income in respect of the Purchased Loans, as well as any payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt. The amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be remitted by the Depository in accordance with the Depository Agreement and the applicable provisions of Sections 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) and 16 of this Agreement. Seller shall direct the Servicer to remit all payments to Depository until such time as Buyer directs the borrower otherwise. If any payments are made by the borrower to Seller after the Purchase Date, or in the event that Seller receives any payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions after the Purchase Date, Seller shall wire such payments to the Collection Account with the Depository within one (1) Business Day of receipt.

 

(b)           So long as an Event of Default hereunder shall not have occurred and be continuing and so long as such action would not result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be paid to Seller on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Collection Account.

 

20



 

(c)           So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and in the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to the Purchased Loans, then until Seller cures such Margin Deficit, all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Collection Account as follows:

 

(i)            first, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day;

 

(ii)           second, to transfer cash to Buyer, so that the product of the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans (including any Additional Loans) and Buyer’s Margin Ratio will at least equal the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price; and

 

(iii)          third, to remit to Seller the remainder, if any.

 

(d)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including all Principal Payments) received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Collection Account as follows:

 

(i)            first, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day;

 

(ii)           second, to make a payment to Buyer on account of the Outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Loans until the Outstanding Purchase Price for all of the Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero; and

 

(iii)          third, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any costs or expenses due and owing by Seller as of such Business Day; and

 

(iv)          fourth, to remit to Seller the remainder.

 

(e)           Buyer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all amounts held by Buyer against any other obligations at any time owing to Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer to or for the credit or the account of Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller against any of or all the obligations of Seller now or hereafter existing under this Agreement irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand under this Agreement (and without prior notice to Seller) and although such obligations may be unmatured, whereupon such obligations owing by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller or its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent (and only to the extent) of such set off actually made by Buyer, be discharged. The rights of Buyer under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Buyer may have.

 

21



 

5.             SECURITY INTEREST

 

Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a first priority lien on, and security interest in, all of the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”) to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all amounts or obligations owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the related documents described herein:

(f)                                    all proceeds of the foregoing.
 

Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of a Transaction with respect to such Collateral under this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Section 5 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (the “UCC”).

(i)            either (A) the Transaction Documents shall for any reason not cause, or shall cease to cause, Buyer to be the owner free of any adverse claim of any of the Purchased Loans, or (B) if a Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing, the Transaction Documents with respect to any Transaction shall for any reason cease to create a valid first priority security interest in favor of Buyer in any of the Purchased Loans;

 

(ii)           in the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates is a party to any Hedging Transaction and a default or breach occurs thereunder on the part of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries which results in the early termination of such Hedging Transaction or otherwise is not cured within the cure period for such

 

38



 

default or breach provided under the terms and conditions of such Hedging Transaction;

 

(iii)          failure of Buyer to receive no later than one (1) Business Day following any Remittance Date the accrued, but unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) (including, without limitation, in the event the Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Purchased Loans is insufficient to make such payment and Seller does not make such payment or cause such payment to be made);

(v)           failure of a Seller to make any other payment (i.e., a payment of a type not specified in any other clause of this Section 13) owing to Buyer which has become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise under the terms of this Agreement which failure is not remedied within the applicable period in the case of a failure pursuant to Section 3 or three Business Days in the case of any other such failure;

 

(vi)          any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority shall have taken any action to remove, limit, restrict, suspend or terminate the rights, privileges, or operations of a Seller, which suspension has a material adverse effect on the financial condition or business operations of a Seller, taken as a whole;

 

(vii)         Buyer shall have determined, in the exercise of its good faith business judgment, (A) that there has been a material adverse change in the corporate structure with respect to Seller (including, without limitation, any breach of the provisions of Section 12 hereof) or financial condition or creditworthiness, taken as a whole, of a Seller; (B) that a Seller will not meet or has breached any of its obligations under any Transaction pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents; or (C) that a material adverse change in the financial condition of a Seller may occur due to the pendency of a material legal action against a Seller;

 

(viii)        an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred with respect to a Seller;

 

(ix)           any (A) representation or warranty made by a Seller shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; provided, however that Buyer’s remedy for a breach of a representation and warranty with respect to any Purchased Loan shall be to mark such Purchased Loan to market; or (B) covenant made by a Seller shall have been breached in a material respect;

(xii)          a Seller shall have defaulted, such default having not previously occurred, (beyond applicable notice and cure period) or failed to perform under any other note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or any other contract, agreement or transaction to which it is a party, which default (A) involves the failure to pay an obligation in excess of $5,000,000, or (B) permits the acceleration of the maturity of obligations in excess of $5,000,000 by any other party to or beneficiary of such note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or other contract agreement or transaction, or Seller shall breach any covenant or condition, shall fail to perform, admits its inability to perform or state its intention not to perform its obligations under any Transaction or in respect of any repurchase agreement, reverse repurchase agreement, securities contract or derivative transaction with any party;

14.           REMEDIES

 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to either Seller, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Buyer:

 

(i)            At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to either Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to either Seller), the Repurchase Date for all Transactions hereunder (for both Sellers) shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on

 

40



 

which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

 

(ii)           If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 14(i) of this Agreement:

 

(A)                              Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Loans shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date; and

 

(B)                                to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pricing Rate with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be the Pricing Rate prior to the date of the Event of Default plus 200 basis points; and

 

(C)                                the Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Loans,

 

(iii)          Unless Seller has tendered the Repurchase Price, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default which has not previously occurred with respect to Seller (with respect to which Buyer has not agreed to forbearance or accepted a workout arrangement), Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Loans or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the definition of “Market Value” set forth in Section 1 herein, for purposes of this Section 14(iii), as to any Purchased Loan that has been delinquent for at least sixty (60) days, Buyer shall determine a market value for such Purchased Loan in good faith. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans effected pursuant to this Section 14(iii) shall be applied, (w) first, to the costs and expenses, including legal expenses, incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default; (x) second, to the Repurchase Price; and (y) third, to any other outstanding obligation of Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates.

 

(iv)          The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

41



 

Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer or its Affiliates.

 

(v)           Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, and any other actual out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller.

 

(vi)          Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

 

(vii)         Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller (with respect to which Buyer has not agreed to forbearance or accepted a workout arrangement) and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

 

(viii)        Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

(ix)           To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Buyer to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Seller acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Buyer (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Buyer to prepare the Purchased Loans for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into

 

42



 

finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Purchased Loans to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of the Purchased Loans to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Persons obligated on the Purchased Loans or to remove liens on or any adverse claims against the Purchased Loans, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Persons obligated on the Purchased Loans directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of the Purchased Loans through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Purchased Loans are of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Seller, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Purchased Loans, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of the Purchased Loans, whether or not the Purchased Loans are of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of the Purchased Loans by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Purchased Loans or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase, at Buyer’s expense, insurance or credit enhancements to insure Buyer against risks of loss, collection or disposition of the Purchased Loans or to provide to Buyer a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of the Purchased Loans, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Buyer, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Buyer in the collection or disposition of any of the Purchased Loans. Seller acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 14(ix) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Buyer would not be commercially unreasonable in Buyer’s exercise of remedies against the Purchased Loans and that other actions or omissions by Buyer shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 14(ix). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 14(ix) shall be construed to grant any rights to Seller or to impose any duties on Buyer that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 14(ix).

 

(x)            Buyer shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, Seller, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Purchased Loans therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Buyer shall not be required to marshal the Purchased Loans or any guarantee of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to resort to the Purchased Loans or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder or under any other document or instrument executed in connection herewith shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Seller absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants

 

43



 

not to assert against Buyer, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Purchased Loans made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

 

(xi)           Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

16.           NON-ASSIGNABILITY

 

(a)           The rights and obligations of the parties under the Transaction Documents and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction to an Affiliate, without the prior written consent of Seller so long as that Affiliate has a Net Worth at least equal to that of Buyer as of the Purchase Date; and provided further, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting party shall have an unfettered right to assign its rights and obligations without the consent of the defaulting party.

Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

 

(a)           It is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)           It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party.

 

(c)           It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

19.           INDEMNITY

 

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, Buyer’s designee and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, actual, out-of-pocket losses, actual, out-of-pocket damages, actual, out-of-pocket penalties, actions, judgments, suits, taxes (including stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Purchased Loans or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith, other than income taxes, franchise taxes or other similar taxes of Buyer), actual, out-of-pocket fees, actual, out-of-pocket costs, actual, out-of-pocket expenses

 

47



 

(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than Buyer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), 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 Seller of any obligation 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 Seller and the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that, the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller.

 

20.           DUE DILIGENCE

 

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right, at its own cost and expense, to perform reasonable continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller, any other servicer or subservicer and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or, at its own cost and expense, engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with

 

48



 

access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller.

 

21.           SERVICING

 

(a)           Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Loans hereby, Seller shall continue to cause the Purchased Loans to be serviced for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to pledge or hypothecate the Purchased Loans prior to the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 7, Buyer’s assigns. Seller shall service or cause the servicer to service the Purchased Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices approved by Buyer and maintained by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to mortgage loans similar to the Purchased Loans.

 

(b)           Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements (the “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 Purchased Loans (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to this Agreement. Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights of Seller relating to the Purchased Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

 

(c)           Seller shall provide to Buyer on a monthly basis, or more frequently at the request of Buyer, any and all information that is pertinent or related to the assessment and valuation of loans that are included in Purchased Loans, as or when received or available from Seller. Such information includes, but is not limited to, property operating statements, rent rolls, financial statements and other financial reports for each Purchased Loan, as well as any other information or events affecting the interests in or valuation of the Purchased Loans.

 

(d)           Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis or (ii) terminate Seller or any sub-servicer of the Purchased Loans with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee.

 

(e)           Seller shall not employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Purchased Loans are serviced by a sub-servicer, Seller shall irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest in the Servicing Agreements in the Purchased Loans to Buyer.

 

(f)            Seller shall cause any sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a letter agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s security interest and agreeing that it shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased Loans in the Collection Account.

 

49



 

(g)           To the extent permitted under the servicing agreement the payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement.

 

(h)           The servicer and Seller may not enter into any modification or extension agreement without the written consent or approval of Buyer.

shall not apply to information which has entered the public domain through means other than a breach of the foregoing covenant by the party seeking to distribute such documents or which the other party has given written permission to disclose.

 

Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all information concerning Seller (the “Information”) that is furnished by Seller to Buyer and any of its Affiliates may be used and relied upon by any other of Buyer’s Affiliates without any liability to Seller to the extent such information is obtained by Buyer or an Affiliate from another of its Affiliates without any liability to Seller, provided, however, that no Information will be used by a Buyer or an Affiliate in violation of federal or state securities laws.

 

Seller further acknowledges and agrees that any confidentiality agreement that may now or hereafter exist between Seller and Buyer or an Affiliate shall not preclude the disclosure of any Information between or among Buyer and any of its Affiliates.

 

24.           SINGLE TRANSACTION

 

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereunto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

 

25.           JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF SELLERS

 

Each Seller agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of each Seller hereunder and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by or on behalf of each Seller in the Agreement or in any exhibit hereto or any document, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been made by each Seller, jointly and severally. Each Seller further agrees that, notwithstanding any right of Buyer to investigate fully the affairs of a Seller and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by Buyer, Buyer has the right to rely fully on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each Seller contained in the Agreement and upon the accuracy of any document, instrument, certificate or exhibit given or delivered hereunder. The joint and several obligation of each Seller hereunder is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, present and continuing and, with respect to any payment to be made to Buyer, is a guaranty of payment (and not of collectability) and is in no way conditional or contingent upon the continued existence of the other Sellers and is not and will not be subject to any setoffs. Any notice or other communication provided to a Seller pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been given each Seller and failures to be sent any

 

51



 

notice or communication contemplated hereby shall not relieve a Seller from its joint and several liability for the obligations of each Seller hereunder.

 

26.           NO WAIVERS, ETC.

 

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

 

27.           USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

 

(a)           If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

 

(b)           Subject to the last sentence of subsection (a) of this Section 27, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

 

(c)           By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Section 27, Seller shall be deemed to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer which would affect, in any material respect, Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

28.           NO PERSONAL LIABILITY; FURTHER ASSURANCES; MISCELLANEOUS

 

(a)           None of the officers, members, shareholders or directors of Seller shall be liable for the payment or performance of Seller hereunder.

 

(b)           Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the prior written request of Buyer, it shall (i) execute and deliver such further documents, provide such additional information and reports and perform such other acts as Buyer may reasonably request in order to insure compliance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, compliance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act) Act of 2001) and to fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and (ii) provide such opinions of counsel concerning matters relating to this Agreement as Buyer may reasonably request; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 28(b)

 

52



 

shall be construed as requiring Buyer to conduct any inquiry or decreasing Seller’s responsibility for its statements, representations, warranties or covenants hereunder.

 

(c)           Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all Transactions thereunder and all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.

 

(d)           All rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

(e)           The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument

 

(f)            The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents.

 

(g)           Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder up to $75,000. Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Loans, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection; compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Purchased Loans and for the custody, care or preservation of the Purchased Loans (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account and registering the Purchased Loans in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

 

(h)           Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

(i)            The parties acknowledge and agree that although they intend to treat each Transaction as a sale of the Purchased Loans, in the event that such sale shall be recharacterized as a secured financing, this Agreement shall also serve as a security agreement with respect to Buyer’s rights in the Collateral. In order to secure and to provide for the prompt and

 

53



 

unconditional repayment of the Repurchase Price and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer and hereby grants to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights in the Collateral referred to in Section 5 hereof. Buyer may without Seller’s execution, consent or approval, and Seller hereby covenants that it shall at Buyer’s request duly execute any Form UCC financing statements as may be required by Buyer in order to perfect its security interest created hereby in such rights and obligations granted above, it being agreed that Seller shall pay any and all fees required to file such financing statements.

 

(j)            This Agreement contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

 

(k)           The parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from it.

 

(l)            Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

 

(m)          The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

 

(n)           Any notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate (including, without limitation, any Confirmation) given by Buyer to any Seller shall be effective as, and shall be deemed to be, a notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate given to each and every Seller. Buyer may, without necessity of any inquiry, rely solely upon any notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate of any of (1) any Seller or (2) any authorized representative of Seller set forth on Exhibit II or otherwise designated by any Seller from time to time, as constituting the joint and several statement and certificate of Seller fully authorized by Seller. Any disbursements of funds to Seller provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall be deemed properly made to Seller if disbursed to any Seller or its designee.

 

29.           DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

 

(a)           in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation

 

54



 

has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

 

(b)           in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

 

(c)           in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

 

55



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the 15th day of February, 2006.

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

“Know All Men by These Presents, that Capital Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and CT BSI Funding Corp., a Delaware corporation (each a “Seller” with joint and several liability for the obligations of the other Seller), does each hereby appoint Bear, Stearns Funding, Inc. (“Buyer”), its attorney-in-fact to act in Seller’s name, place and stead in any way which Seller could do with respect to (i) the completion of the endorsements of the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages and the Mezzanine Notes, (ii) the recordation of the Assignments of Mortgages and (iii) the enforcement of Seller’s rights under the Purchased Loans purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2006 (the “Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement”), between Seller and Buyer and to take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Loans, the related Purchased Loan Files and the Servicing Records to the extent that Seller is permitted by law to act through an agent.

EXHIBIT VI

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOAN
WHICH IS A WHOLE LOAN OR B NOTE

 

1.             Purchased Loan Schedule and Loan Information. The information set forth in the Purchased Loan Schedule and the Loan Information is complete, true and correct in all material respects.

 

2.             Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Each Purchased Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a whole loan. Immediately prior to the transfer to Buyer of the Purchased Loans, Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan. Seller has full right, power and authority to transfer and assign each of the Purchased Loans to or at the direction of Buyer and has validly and effectively conveyed (or caused to be conveyed) to Buyer or its designee all of Seller’s legal and beneficial interest in and to the Purchased Loans free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, charges, security interests, participation interests and/or other encumbrances. The sale of the Purchased Loans to Buyer or its designee does not require Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained.

 

3.             Payment Record. No scheduled payment of principal and interest under any Purchased Loan was 30 days or more past due as of the Purchase Date without giving effect to any applicable grace period, and no Purchased Loan was 30 days or more delinquent in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the Purchase Date.

 

4.             Lien; Valid Assignment. The Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with each Purchased Loan constitutes a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 13 below, enforceable first priority lien upon the related Property, prior to all other liens and encumbrances and there are no liens or encumbrances pari passu with the lien of the Mortgage, except for (a) the lien for current real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters that are of public record and/or are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy, (c) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance policy, and (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which matters referred to in clause (b), (c) or (d) individually or in the aggregate materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the marketability or current use of the Property or the current ability of the Property to generate operating income sufficient to service the Purchased Loan debt (the foregoing items (a) through (d) being herein referred to as the “Permitted Encumbrances”). The related assignment of such Mortgage executed and delivered in favor of Buyer is in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Mortgage. Such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreements, chattel mortgages or equivalent instruments, establishes and creates a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 13 below, enforceable security interest in favor of the holder thereof in all of the related Mortgagor’s personal property used in, and reasonably necessary to operate the related Property. A Uniform Commercial Code financing statement has been filed

 

VI-1



 

and/or recorded in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in such personal property, and such security interest is a first priority security interest, subject to any prior purchase money security interest in such personal property and any personal property leases applicable to such personal property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 are required in order to effect such perfection.

 

5.             Assignment of Leases and Rents. The assignment of leases and rents (“Assignment of Leases”) set forth in the Mortgage (or in a separate instrument) and related to and delivered in connection with each Purchased Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 13 below, enforceable first priority perfected lien and together with the Mortgage, first priority perfected security interest in the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage, and each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related assignment of any Assignment of Leases, not included in a Mortgage, executed and delivered in favor of Buyer is in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment of Leases. If an Assignment of Leases exists with respect to any Mortgage Loan (whether as part of the related Mortgage or separately), then the related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, the appointment of a receiver 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.

 

6.             Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. In the case of each Mortgage Loan, (a) no Mortgage has been satisfied, canceled, rescinded or subordinated in whole or in material part, (b) the related Property has not been released from the lien of such Mortgage, in whole or in material part, (c) no instrument has been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release except for any partial reconveyances of portions of the real property that do not materially adversely affect the value of the property, and (d) no Mortgagor has been released from its obligations under the related Mortgage in whole or in material part. None of the terms of any Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Assignment of Leases have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, all of which are included in the related Mortgage File.

 

7.             Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in an engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Loan and dated not more than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date, each Property is, to Seller’s knowledge, free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its value as security for the related Purchased Loan (normal wear and tear excepted). Seller has received no notice, and has no knowledge, of any pending or threatened proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion of any Property. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of the origination of each Purchased Loan (based on surveys and/or title insurance obtained in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loans) (a) all of the improvements on the related Property which were considered material in determining the appraised value of the

 

VI-2



 

Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the Title Policy referred to in paragraph 8 herein or that do not materially and adversely affect the value, principal use, or marketability of such Property, and (b) no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Property so as to materially and adversely affect the value, principal use, or marketability of such Property, except those encroachments that are insured against by the Title Policy referred to in paragraph 8 herein.

 

8.             Title Insurance. Each Property is covered by an American Land Title Association (or an equivalent form thereof approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction) lender’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of the related Purchased Loan after all advances of principal. Each Title Policy insures that the related Mortgage is a valid first priority lien on such Property, subject only to the exceptions stated therein (or a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a marked up title insurance commitment on which the required premium has been paid exists which is binding on the title insurer and which evidences that such Title Policy will be issued). Each 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, insures the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns and, to Seller’s knowledge, (i) no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder and (ii) was issued by a title insurance company qualified at origination to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located to the extent such qualification was required in order for the Title Policy to be enforceable. No holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the related Purchased Loan to Buyer, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of Buyer without the consent of or notice to the insurer. Such Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or it affirmatively insures (unless the related Property is located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available), the following:  (a) access to a public road; and (b) that if a survey was reviewed or prepared in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the area shown on such survey is the same as the property legally described in the related Mortgage.

 

9.             No Holdbacks. The proceeds of each Purchased Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto. With respect to each Purchased Loan, any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose that were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date have been complied with, or any such funds so escrowed have not been released.

 

10.           Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Note or Mortgage for each Purchased Loan, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgaged properties similarly situated (subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 13) such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar proceedings as applicable for the jurisdiction in which the related Property is located.

11.           Buyer under Deed of Trust. If any Mortgage is a deed of trust, (a) a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly designated and serving under such Mortgage, and (b) no fees or expenses are payable to such trustee by Seller, Buyer or any transferee thereof except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Property or related security for the related Purchased Loan.

 

12.           Environmental Conditions. With respect to each Property (a) an environmental site assessment (or an update of a previous assessment) was performed by an independent third party environmental consultant with respect to each Property in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Loan, (b) a report of each such assessment (an “Environmental Report”) is dated no earlier than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date and has been delivered to Buyer, and (c) to Seller’s knowledge there is no violation of applicable environmental laws and regulations with respect to, or any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Property that was not disclosed in such report. Each Mortgage requires the related Mortgagor to comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Where such Environmental Report disclosed a violation of applicable environmental laws and regulations or the existence of a material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Property, (i) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance, (ii) the related Mortgagor was required either to provide additional security and/or to obtain an operations and maintenance plan or (iii) the related Mortgagor provided evidence satisfactory to the originator of such Mortgage Loan that applicable federal, state or local governmental authorities would not take any action, or require the taking of any action, in respect of such violation, condition or circumstance. The related Purchased Loan Documents contain provisions pursuant to which the related Mortgagor or a principal of such Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for damages resulting from violations of any applicable Environmental Laws.

 

13.           Loan Document Status. Each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other agreement that evidences or secures a Purchased Loan and that was executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (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), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and there is no valid defense, counterclaim or right of offset or rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements.

 

14.           Insurance. Each Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by (a) an all risk insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of such Purchased Loan providing coverage against loss or damage sustained by reason of fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke, and, to the extent required as of the date of origination by the originator of such Purchased Loan consistent with its normal commercial mortgage lending

practices, against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality of the Property in an amount not less than the lesser of the principal balance of the related Purchased Loan and 100% of the replacement cost (not allowing reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation) of the Property, and not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Property; (b) a business interruption or rental loss insurance policy; providing coverage for at least twelve months (other than for manufactured housing communities) and for eighteen months of coverage if the Property is a special purpose property or if the Mortgage Loan is in excess of $25 million; (c) a flood insurance policy (if any portion of the Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards) and (d) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy in amounts as are generally required by commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence. Such insurance policy contains a standard mortgagee clause that names the holder of the Mortgage, its successors and assigns as mortgagee as an additional insured in the case of liability insurance policies or as a loss payee in the case of property insurance policies. Such insurance policy is not terminable (nor may the amount of coverage provided thereunder be reduced) without prior written notice to the holder of the Mortgage, and no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, upon such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to purchase and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Other than as set forth in paragraph 17(h) hereof, each Mortgage provides that casualty insurance proceeds will be applied either to the restoration or repair of the related Property or to the reduction or defeasance of the principal amount of the Purchased Loan.

 

15.           Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent or unpaid taxes or assessments (including assessments payable in future installments), or other outstanding charges affecting any Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be first payable thereon.

 

16.           Mortgagor Bankruptcy. No Mortgagor, non-recourse carve-out guarantor or tenant physically occupying 25% or more (by square feet) of the net rentable area of a Property is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

17.           Leasehold Estate. Each Property consists of the related Mortgagor’s fee simple estate in real estate or, if the related Purchased Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Property (a “Ground Lease”), by the related Mortgagor’s interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee interest in such Property (the “Fee Interest”). With respect to any Purchased Loan secured by a Ground Lease but not by the related Fee Interest:

 

a.                                       Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between Seller and related lessor) permits the current use of the Property and permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be

 

VI-5



 

encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely effect the security provided by the related Mortgage by limiting in any way its current use; and there has been no material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the related Purchased Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Mortgage File;

 

b.                                      The lessee’s interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related Fee Interest and Permitted Encumbrances;

 

c.                                       The Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to Buyer and is further assignable by Buyer, its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by Buyer and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor. If required by the Ground Lease, the lessor has received notice of the lien of the related Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of the Ground Lease;

 

d.                                      In connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related ground lessor provided an estoppel to the originator confirming that the related Mortgagor was not then in default under such Ground Lease. The Ground Lease provides that no material amendment to the Ground Lease is effective against the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan unless the mortgagee has consented thereto. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and Seller and any servicer acting on Seller’s behalf have received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder or that the Ground lease has terminated, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;

 

e.                                       Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease to the extent such Ground Lease requires such notice, further (B) provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease (including rejection of such Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding) is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered to enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from the economic terms of the Ground Lease;

 

VI-6



 

f.                                         A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease by foreclosure or otherwise if possession is necessary to effect a cure) to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;

 

g.                                      Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options set forth therein which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by the mortgagee if it takes possession of such leasehold interest) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the stated maturity date of the related Purchased Loan and ten years beyond the amortization period for the related Purchased Loan;

 

h.                                      Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award other than in respect of a total loss will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender for conduit programs), or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;

 

i.                                          Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the Property is located and such Ground Lease contains a covenant that the ground lessor is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of the lessee thereunder for any reason or in any manner which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; and

 

j.                                          Such Ground Lease provides, or the lessor has otherwise agreed, that such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Purchased Loan any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors and assigns, provided such mortgagee has provided the ground lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease.

 

18.           Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments (including capital improvements, environmental remediation reserves and other reserve deposits, if any) relating to each Purchased Loan that are, as of the Purchase Date, required to be deposited or paid to the

 

VI-7



 

lender under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents have been so deposited or paid and, to the extent of any remaining balances of such escrow deposits, are in the possession or under the control of Seller or its agents (which shall include the applicable servicer of the Mortgage Loan). Any and all material requirements under each Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursement of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or, if and to the extent not so complied with, the escrowed funds (or an allocable portion thereof) have not been released except in accordance with the terms of the related loan documents.

 

19.           LTV Ratio. The gross proceeds of each Purchased Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Loan and either:  (a) such Purchased Loan is secured by an interest in real property having a fair market value (i) at the date the Purchased Loan was originated at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of the Purchased Loan or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80 percent of the principal balance of the Purchased Loan on such date; provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (x) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (y) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Loan (unless such other lien secures a Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized with such Purchased Loan, in which event the computation described in clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this paragraph 19 shall be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the fair market values of the Properties securing such cross-collateralized Purchased Loans; or (b) substantially all the proceeds of such Purchased Loan were used to acquire, refinance, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(l)(ii)).

 

20.           Qualified Mortgage; Purchased Loan Modifications. Each Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(a) (but without regard to the rule in Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(f)(2)). Any Purchased Loan that was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code either (a) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Loan or (b) satisfies the provisions of either clause (a)(i) of paragraph 19 (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Loan was originated) or clause (a)(ii) of paragraph 19, including the proviso thereto.

 

21.           Advancement of Funds by Seller. No holder of a Purchased Loan has advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Purchased Loan.

 

22.           No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date of the Mortgage, and to the actual knowledge of Seller as of the Purchase Date, each Property is free and clear of any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior

 

VI-8



 

or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein or otherwise bonded.

 

23.           Compliance with Usury Laws. Each Purchased Loan complied with, or is exempt from, all applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.

 

24.           Cross-collateralization; Cross-default. No Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any loan other than one or more other Purchased Loans.

 

25.           Releases of Property. Except as described in the next sentence, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the related Property from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full or defeasance of all amounts due under the related Purchased Loan. The Mortgages relating to those Purchased Loans identified on the Purchased Loan Schedule require the mortgagee to grant releases of portions of the related Properties upon (a) the satisfaction of certain legal and underwriting requirements and (b) except where the portion of the Property permitted to be released was not considered by, Seller to be material in the underwriting of the Purchased Loan, either (1) the payment of a release price set forth therein and prepayment consideration in connection therewith or (2) the partial defeasance of such Purchased Loan.

 

No Purchased Loan permits the release or substitution of collateral if such release or substitution (a) would create a “significant modification” of such Purchased Loan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.1001 3 or (b) would cause such Purchased Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to clauses (A)(i) or (A)(ii) thereof).

 

26.           No Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. No Purchased Loan contains any equity participation by the lender or provides for negative amortization or for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Property, or is convertible by its terms into an equity ownership interest in the related Property or the related Mortgagor, except that, in the case of an ARD Loan, such Mortgage Loan provides that, during the period commencing on or about the related anticipated repayment date and continuing until such Mortgage Loan is paid in full, (a) additional interest shall accrue and may be compounded monthly and (b) a portion of the cash flow generated by such Property will be applied each month to pay down the principal balance thereof in addition to the principal portion of the related monthly payment.

 

27.           No Material Default. There exists no monetary default and to Seller’s knowledge, there exists no material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of acceleration (and no event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute any of the foregoing) under the documents evidencing or securing the Purchased Loan, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Loan and the related Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered by any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any of paragraphs 3, 7, 12, 14, 15 and 17. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any servicer acting on its behalf has issued any notice of default,

 

VI-9



 

breach or violation related to the Mortgage Loan, accelerated the Mortgage Loan or commenced judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

 

28.           Inspections. Seller (or if Seller is not the originator, the originator of the Purchased Loan) has inspected or caused to be inspected each Property in connection with, and during the 12 month period prior to, the origination of the related Purchased Loan.

 

29.           Local Law Compliance. Based on due diligence considered reasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where each Property is located, to Seller’s knowledge the improvements located on or forming part of each Property complies in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and ordinances, or constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure or, if any such improvement does not so comply and does not constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, such non-compliance and failure does not materially and adversely affect (i) the value of the related Property as determined by the appraisal performed at origination or (ii) the principal use of the Property as of the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination, with respect to each legal non-conforming use or structure, the originator determined based on due diligence considered reasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the subject Property is located that if a casualty occurred at that time, the Property could have been restored or repaired to such an extent that the use or structure of the restored or repaired property would be substantially the same use or structure, or law and ordinance insurance has been obtained, or a holdback was established and the Mortgagor is required to cause the Property to become a conforming use or structure.

 

30.           Junior Liens. None of the Purchased Loans permits the related Property to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the related Mortgage without the prior written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service coverage or similar criteria specified therein. Each Purchased Loan contains a “due on sale” clause that provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Loan if, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Purchased Loan, the related Property, or any material portion thereof, or a controlling interest in the direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgagor is directly or indirectly transferred, sold or pledged.

 

31.           Actions Concerning Purchased Loans. To the knowledge of Seller, there are no actions, suits, governmental investigations or proceedings pending or threatened before any court, governmental authority, administrative agency or arbitrator concerning any Purchased Loan or related Mortgagor or Property that, if determined adversely to the Purchased Loan, Mortgagor, or Property, would adversely affect title to the Purchased Loan or the validity or enforceability of the related Mortgage or that might materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, the current ability of the Property to generate net operating income to service the Mortgage Loan, the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided for the Purchased Loan, or the current use of the Property.

To Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of each Purchased Loan, the related Mortgagor was in possession of all material licenses, permits and franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Property as it was then operated and, as of the Purchase Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller has no written notice that the related Mortgagor was not in possession of such licenses, permits and franchises or that such licenses, permits and franchises have not otherwise been issued. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Property to be in material compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the Property, in each case to the extent required by law.

 

34.           Assisted Living Facility Regulation. If any Property is operated as an assisted living facility, to Seller’s knowledge, (a) the related Mortgagor and operator, if different, is in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state laws applicable to the use and operation of the related Property and (b) if the operator of the Property participates in Medicare or Medicaid programs, the facility is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements for participation in such programs.

 

35.           Non-Recourse Exceptions. The related Mortgage Loan documents contain provisions providing for recourse against the related Mortgagor, a principal of such Mortgagor or an entity controlled by a principal of such Mortgagor, or a natural person, for damages sustained in connection with the Mortgagor’s (i) fraud, (ii) intentional misrepresentation, (iii) misappropriation or misapplication of rents or amounts due lender, insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, (iv) voluntary bankruptcy, (v) failure to obtain prior consent to any encumbrance of the pledged equity under the Mezzanine Loan Documents and (vi) willful misconduct resulting in waste of a Property. The related Mortgage Loan documents contain provisions pursuant to which the related Mortgagor, a principal of such Mortgagor or an entity controlled by a principal of such Mortgagor, or a natural person, has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for damages resulting from violations of any applicable environmental covenants.

Each Mortgagor of a Purchased Loan is an entity which has represented in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loan, or whose organizational documents as of the date of origination of the Purchased Loan provide that so long as the Purchased Loan is outstanding it will have at least one independent director. There are Insolvency/Non-Consolidation opinions

40.           Letters of Credit. No Purchased Loan consists of or is secured by a Letter of Credit.

 

41.           Security Interests in Hospitality Properties. If any Property securing a Mortgage Loan is operated as a hospitality property then (a) the security agreements, financing statements or other instruments, if any, related to the Mortgage Loan secured by such Property establish and create a valid and enforceable (subject to the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 13 above) first priority security interest in all items of personal property owned by the related Borrower which are material to the conduct in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business on the related Property, subject only to purchase money security interests, personal property leases and security interests to secure revolving lines of credit and similar financing; and (b) one or more Uniform Commercial Code financing statements covering such personal property have been filed or recorded (or have been sent for filing or recording) wherever necessary to perfect under applicable law such security interests (to the extent a security interest in such personal property can be perfected by the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement under applicable law).

 

42.           Prepayment Premiums. Prepayment Premiums payable with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any, constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

45.           Appraisals. An appraisal of the related Property was conducted in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, which appraisal is signed by an appraiser, who, to Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Property or the Borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

VI-13



 

53.           Embargoed Person.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller does not conflict with the organizational documents of Seller, or with any law, statute or regulation applicable to Seller.

 

(18)         Whole Loan; Ownership of Mezzanine Loans. Each Mezzanine Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a whole loan. Immediately prior to the transfer to Buyer of the Mezzanine Loan, Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mezzanine Loan. Seller has full right, power and authority to transfer and assign the Mezzanine Loan to or at the direction of Buyer and has validly and effectively conveyed (or caused to be conveyed) to Buyer or its designee all of Seller’s legal and beneficial interest in and to the Mezzanine Loan free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, charges, security interests, participation interests, and/or other encumbrances.

Except as set forth in an engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan and dated not more than 12 months prior to the Purchase date, each Property is, to Seller’s knowledge, free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its value as security for the related Mortgage Loan (normal wear and tear excepted).

(23)         Title Insurance. Each Property is covered by an American Land Title Association (or an equivalent form thereof  approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction) lender’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal. Each Title Policy insures that the related Mortgage is a valid first priority lien on such Property, subject only to the exceptions stated therein (or a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions  or a marked up title insurance commitment on which the required premium has been paid exists which is binding on the title insurer and which evidences that such Title Policy will be issued). Each 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, insures the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns and, to Seller’s knowledge, (i) no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder and (ii) was issued by a title insurance company qualified at origination to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located to the extent such qualification was required in order for the Title Policy to be enforceable..

 

(24)         No Holdbacks. The proceeds of each Mezzanine Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto.

 

(25)         Pledge and Mortgage Provisions. The note and pledge for each Mortgage Loan and related Mezzanine Loan, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgaged properties and equity interests similarly situated (subject to customary bankruptcy and equity exceptions) such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Property and pledged equity of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby.

 

(26)         Environmental Conditions. With respect to each Property (a)  an environmental site assessment (or an update of a previous assessment) was performed by an independent third party environmental consultant with respect to each Property in connection with the origination of the related Mezzanine Loan, (b) a report of each such assessment (an “Environmental Report”) is dated no earlier than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date and has been delivered to Buyer, and (c) to Seller’s knowledge, there is no violation of applicable environmental laws and regulations with respect to, or any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting, any Property that was not disclosed in such report. Each Mortgage requires the related Mortgagor to comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Where such  Environmental Report disclosed a violation of applicable environmental laws and regulations or the existence of a material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Property, (i) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance, (ii) the related Mortgagor was required either to provide additional security and/or to obtain an operations and maintenance

 

VII-4



 

plan or (iii) the related Mortgagor provided evidence satisfactory to the originator of such Mortgage Loan that applicable federal, state or local governmental authorities would not take any action, or require the taking of any action, in respect of such violation, condition or circumstance. The related Mezzanine Loan Documents contain provisions pursuant to which the related Mortgagor or a principal of such Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for damages resulting from violations of any applicable Environmental Laws.

 

(27)         Loan Document Status. Each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Mezzanine Note, Pledge  and other agreement that evidences or secures a Mortgage Loan or related Mezzanine Loan and that was executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor or Pledgor is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (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), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and there is no valid defense, counterclaim or right of offset or rescission available to the related Mortgagor or Pledgor respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Mezzanine Note, Pledge, or other agreements.

 

(28)         Insurance. Each Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by (a) an all risk  insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of such Mortgage Loan and, to the extent required as of the date of origination by the originator of such Mezzanine Loan consistent with its normal commercial mortgage lending practices, against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality of the Property in an amount not less than the lesser of the principal balance of the related Mezzanine Loan and 100% of the replacement cost (not allowing reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation) of the Property, and not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Property; (b) a business interruption or rental loss insurance policy providing  coverage  for at least  twelve months  (other than for manufactured housing communities) and for eighteen months of coverage if the Property is a special purpose property or if the Mortgage Loan is in excess of $25 million; (c) a flood insurance policy (if any portion of the Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards); and (d) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy in amounts as are generally required by commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence. Such insurance policy contains a standard mortgagee clause that names the holder of the Mortgage , its successors and assigns as mortgagee as an additional insured in the case of liability insurance policies or as a loss payee in the case of property insurance policies. Such insurance policy is not terminable (nor may the amount of coverage provided thereunder be reduced) without prior written notice to the holder of the Mortgage, and no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, upon such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to purchase and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Each Mortgage provides that casualty insurance proceeds will be applied either to the restoration or repair of the related Property or to the reduction or defeasance of the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan.

 

VII-5



 

(29)         Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent or unpaid taxes or assessments (including assessments payable in future installments), or other outstanding charges affecting any Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be first payable thereon.

 

(30)         Mortgagor Bankruptcy. No Mortgagor, Pledgor, non-recourse carve-out guarantor or tenant physically occupying 25% or more (by square feet) of the net rentable area of a Property is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

(31)         Leasehold Estate. Each Property consists of the related Mortgagor’s fee simple estate in real estate or, if the related Mezzanine Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Property (a “Ground Lease”), by the related Mortgagor’s interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee interest in such Property (the “Fee Interest”). With respect to any Mezzanine Loan secured by a Ground Lease but not by the related Fee Interest:

 

(a)           Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between Seller and related lessor) permits the current use of the Property and permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely effect the security provided by the related Mortgage by limiting in any way its current use; and there has been no material change in the  terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the related Mezzanine Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Mortgage File;
 
(b)           The lessee’s interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related Fee Interest and Permitted Encumbrances;
 
(c)           The Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to Buyer and is further assignable by Buyer, its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by Buyer and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor. If required by the Ground Lease, the lessor has received notice of the lien of the related Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of the Ground Lease;
 
(d)           In connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related ground lessor provided an estoppel to the originator confirming that the related Mortgagor was not then in default under such Ground Lease. The Ground Lease provides that no material amendment to the Ground lease is effective against the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan unless the mortgagee has consented thereto. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and Seller and any servicer acting on Seller’s behalf have  received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder or that the Ground lease has terminated, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there

 

VII-6



 

exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
 
(e)           Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease to the extent such Ground Lease requires such notice, further (B) provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease (including rejection of such Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding) is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered to enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from the economic terms of the Ground Lease;
 
(f)            A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease by foreclosure or otherwise if possession is necessary to effect a cure) to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
 
(g)           Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options set forth therein which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by the mortgagee if it takes possession of such leasehold interest) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the stated maturity date of the related Mezzanine Loan and ten years beyond the amortization period for the related Mezzanine Loan;
 
(h)           Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award other than in respect of a total loss will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Property, with the mortgagee or a  trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender for conduit programs), or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;
 
(i)            Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the Property is located and such ground Lease contains a covenant that the ground lessor is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of the lessee thereunder for any reason or in any manner which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; and
 
(j)            Such Ground Lease provides, or the lessor has otherwise agreed, that such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mezzanine Loan and any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors and assigns, provided such mortgagee has provided the ground lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease.

(32)         Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments (including capital improvements, environmental remediation reserves and other reserve deposits, if any) relating to each Mortgage Loan and related Mezzanine Loan that are, as of the Purchase Date required to be deposited or paid to the lender under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents have been so deposited or paid and, to the extent of any remaining balances of such escrow deposits, are in the possession or under the control of mortgagee or its agents (which shall include the applicable servicer of the Mortgage Loan). To Seller’s knowledge, any and all material requirements under each Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursement of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or, if and to the extent not so complied with, the escrowed funds (or an allocable portion thereof) have not been released except in accordance with the terms of the related loan documents.

 

(33)         No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date of the Mortgage, and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, each Property is free and clear of any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein or otherwise bonded.

 

(34)         Releases of Property. Except as described in the next sentence, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the related Property from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full or defeasance of all amounts due under the related Mezzanine Loan. The Mortgages relating to the Mezzanine Loans identified on the Mezzanine Loan Schedule require the mortgagee to grant releases of portions of the related Mortgaged Properties upon (a) the satisfaction of certain legal and underwriting requirements and (b) except where the portion of the Property permitted to be released was not considered by, Seller to be material in the underwriting of the Mezzanine Loan, either (1) the payment of a release price set forth therein and prepayment consideration in connection therewith or (2) the partial defeasance of such Mezzanine Loan.

 

(35)         No Material Default. There exists no monetary default and to Seller’s knowledge, there exists no material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event of acceleration (and no event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute any of the foregoing) under the documents evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loan or the related Mezzanine Loan, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely affects the value of the Mezzanine Loan and the related Property. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any servicer acting on its behalf has issued any notice of default, breach or violation related to the Mortgage Loan, accelerated the Mortgage Loan or commenced judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mezzanine Loan Seller nor any servicer acting on its behalf has issued any notice of default, breach or violation related to the Mezzanine Loan, accelerated the Mezzanine Loan or commenced judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mezzanine Loan.

 

(36)         Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, the improvements located on or forming part of each Property complies in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and ordinances, or constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure or, if any such improvement

 

VII-8



 

does not so comply and does not constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, such non-compliance and failure does not materially and adversely affect (i) the value of the related Property as determined by the appraisal performed at origination or (ii) the principal use of the Property as of the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, with respect to each legal non-conforming use or structure, if a casualty occurred at that time, the Property could have been restored or repaired to such an extent that the use or structure of the restored or repaired property would be substantially the same use or structure, or law and ordinance insurance has been obtained, or a holdback was established and the Mortgagor is required to cause the Property to become a conforming use or structure.

 

(37)         Junior Liens. None of the Mortgage Loans or related Mezzanine Loans permits the related Property or pledged equity to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the related Mortgage or Pledge without the prior written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service coverage or similar criteria specified therein. The pledged equity is not, and to Seller’s knowledge, none of the Mortgaged Properties is encumbered by any lien junior to the lien of the related Mortgage. Each Mezzanine Loan contains a “due on sale” clause that provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan or Mortgage Loan if, without the prior written consent of the holder thereof, the related Property, or any material portion thereof, or pledged equity or a controlling interest in the direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgagor is directly or indirectly transferred,  sold, or pledged.

 

(38)         Actions Concerning Mezzanine Loans. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits, governmental investigations or proceedings pending or threatened before any court, governmental authority, administrative agency or arbitrator concerning any Mezzanine Loan or Mortgage Loan or the related pledgor or Mortgagor or pledged equity or Property that, if determined adversely,  would  adversely affect title to the Mezzanine Loan or Mortgage Loan or the validity or enforceability of the related pledge or Mortgage or that might materially and adversely affect the value of the pledged equity or Property, the current ability of the Property to generate net operating income to service the Mortgage Loan, the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided for the Mezzanine Loan or Mortgage Loan, or the current use of the Property.

 

(39)         Servicing.

To Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgagor is in possession of all material licenses, permits and franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Property as it was then operated and, as of the Purchase Date, the  Seller has no written notice that the related Mortgagor was not in possession of such licenses, permits and franchises or that such licenses, permits and franchises have not otherwise been issued. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Property to be in material compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the Property, in each case to the extent required by law.

(42)         Single Purpose Entity. The pledgor and Mortgagor on each Mezzanine Loan and related Mortgage Loan were, as of the origination of the Mezzanine Loan, Single Purpose Entities. For this purpose, a “Single Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning the pledged equity or the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mezzanine Loans or Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such pledged equity or Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mezzanine Loan or Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in such pledged equity or interest in and operation of such Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Pledge or Mortgage or the other related Mezzanine Loan or Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person, that it will not guarantee or assume the debts of any other person, that it will not commingle assets with affiliates, and that it will not transact business with affiliates except on an arm’s length basis.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related all risk insurance policy and business interruption policy did not as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, does not as of the date hereof, specifically exclude acts of terrorism from coverage. With respect to each of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for acts of terrorism or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercially reasonable availability.

 

(50)         Transfers and Pledges. The Mezzanine Loan Collateral consists of the pledge of all of the ownership interests of the Mortgagor. Transfer and pledge restrictions under the Mezzanine Loan Documents apply to [Name of Sponsor entity], Borrower, Principal, Mortgage Borrower, Mortgage Principal and any Affiliated Manager or any shareholder, partner, member, non-member manager, any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of, Mortgage Borrower, Mortgage Principal, Principal, Borrower, any Guarantor, any Affiliated Manager, or any Pledgor, and Affiliated Franchisor or any non-member manager.
