Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser each Loan Interest and each Lease Interest on the Applicable Closing Date related to such Loan Interest or Lease Interest, and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, accept and assume each Loan Interest and each Lease Interest on the Applicable Closing Date with respect to such Loan Interest or Lease Interest. The Parties intend for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be a true sale and not an extension of credit by Purchaser to Seller. |
(b) | Lease Interests and Loan Interests. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, (1) each Loan Interest and each Lease Interest sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed to Purchaser hereunder at the Applicable Closing with respect to such Loan Interest or Lease Interest (each a “Transferred Interest”) shall include (A) all Other Property relating to such Transferred Interest, (B) the right to all Interim Collections with respect to such Transferred Interest; provided, however, that all Interim Collections received by Seller or its Affiliates during the Interim Adjustment Period shall be conveyed to Purchaser though a downward adjustment to the purchase price of such Transferred Interest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2(e) or 2(f) hereof, as applicable, (C) the right to all Payments with respect to such Transferred Interest that accrue or become due during, or are otherwise attributable or allocable to, any period (or part thereof) after the Cut-Off Time or that relate to facts, events or circumstances occurring after the Cut-Off Time but that are not received by Seller or its Affiliates during the Interim Adjustment Period, (D) the right to all Interim Repayments with respect to such Transferred Interest; provided, however that all Interim Repayments received by Seller or its Affiliates during the Interim Adjustment Period shall be conveyed to Purchaser through a downward adjustment to the purchase price of such Transferred Interest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2(e) or 2(f) hereof as applicable, and (E) the right to all Non-Cash Proceeds relating to such Loan Interest or Lease Interest (which, to the extent received by Seller or its Affiliates during the Interim Adjustment Period, shall be conveyed to Purchaser at the Applicable Closing relating to such Loan Interest or Lease Interest, (2) Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all Interim Lender Commitments actually funded by Seller during the Interim Adjustment Period with respect to each Transferred Interest (which reimbursement shall be effected through an upward adjustment to the purchase price of such Transferred Interest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2(e) or 2(f) hereof as applicable), (3) at the Applicable Closing of any Transferred Interest, Purchaser shall assume responsibility for all Lender Obligations with respect to such Transferred Interest as of the Effective Date (without duplication of any Interim Lender Commitments that were the subject of any re-imbursement by Purchaser pursuant to clause (2) above), (4) all Pre-Cut-Off Time Collections related to any Transferred Interest shall be for the sole account of Seller and if received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Applicable Closing Date with respect to such Transferred Interest, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Seller and promptly delivered by Purchaser to Seller, (5) all Post-Closing Collections related to any Transferred Interest shall be for the sole account of Purchaser and to the extent any Post-Closing Collections are not reflected in a downward adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Section 1(b)(1)(B) above and Section 2(e) or 2(f) as applicable , |
they shall be held in trust for the benefit of Purchaser and promptly delivered by Seller to Purchaser, and (6) Seller shall retain all Retained Obligations with respect to the Transferred Interests.
(c) | Payments Held in Trust. Without limiting the foregoing, any amounts received by a Party hereto that belong to the other Party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and have not otherwise been paid to such other Party pursuant hereto, shall be held in trust by the receiving Party for the benefit of such other Party and the receiving Party shall promptly pay such amounts to such other Party in the form received. |

(iii) | To the extent that any Loan Interests or Lease Interests have not been Assigned to Purchaser within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date (the “Final Closing Date”), such Loan Interests and Lease Interests shall be excluded from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for all purposes and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect the exclusion of such Loan Interests and Lease Interests in accordance with Section 2(e) or 2(f) as applicable. |

Purchase Price Statement” and shall be final, binding and conclusive, shall not be subject to appeal, shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and Purchaser, and shall conclusively establish the Purchase Price and any other amounts required to be released from the Escrow Account to Purchaser or Seller hereunder. The Accountant shall be requested to render its determination and report to Seller and Purchaser in writing specifying the reasons for its determination in reasonable detail as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) calendar days, after the referral of the Purchaser Objection to the Accountant.

(ii) | If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2(f) above is less than the aggregate amount previously disbursed to Seller pursuant to Sections 2(e)(iii)(A) and 2(f)(iii)(A) above, (such deficit, the “Purchase Price Overpayment”), Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of such Purchase Price Overpayment, and Seller and Purchaser shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser any Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account as of the Adjustment Payment Date. |
(iii) | If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2(f) above is greater than the aggregate amount previously disbursed to Seller pursuant to Sections 2(e)(iii)(A) and 2(f)(iii)(A) above (such difference, the “Purchase Price Difference”) and such Purchase Price Difference is less than the amount of Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account as of the Adjustment Payment Date, Seller and Purchaser shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to Seller from the Escrow Account in the amount of the Purchase Price Difference and to release to Purchaser the amount of any Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account after such payment to Seller. |

(i) | Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Losses set forth in any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a)(i)(a) (other than for claims relating to the alleged breach of any representation or warranty relating to Taxes) to the extent that the aggregate liability of Seller to Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 9(a)(i)(a) exceeds five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price actually paid under this Agreement (the “Cap”); provided that such Cap shall not apply to the extent the foregoing arises as a direct result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Seller Party or any breach by Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement. |
(ii) | Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees with respect to any Losses set forth in any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)(a) to the extent that the aggregate liability of Purchaser to the Seller Indemnitees under Section 9(b)(i)(a) exceeds the Cap; provided that such Cap shall not apply to the extent the foregoing arises as a direct result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Purchaser Party or any breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement. |
(iii) | The rights to indemnification provided for in this Section 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, with respect to a Transferred Interest after the Applicable Closing with respect to such Transferred Interest for any breaches of or inaccuracy of any applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller or Purchaser, respectively, herein. |
(d) | Payment Adjustments. |
(i) | Any indemnity payment to be made by Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees, on the one hand, or by Purchaser to the Seller Indemnitees, on the other hand, pursuant to this Section 9 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to (x) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim minus (y) any out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the recovery of such proceeds; provided that such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover such insurance proceeds in connection with making a claim under this Section 9. |
(ii) | Any payment to be made by Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees on the one hand, or by Purchaser to the Seller Indemnitees on the other hand, pursuant to this Section 9 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to the income Tax benefits, if any, attributable to such Loss. |
(iii) | The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price relating to the Purchased Interest to which such indemnification payment relates. |
(e) | Indemnification Procedures. |
(i) | In the event of any Claim asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a party entitled to seek indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the |
Indemnified Party to the party against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of such Third Party Claim. Such notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the basis on which indemnification is being asserted, (ii) provide a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Losses asserted therein, (iii) specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which such Losses are asserted and (iv) include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) served on or received by the Indemnified Party from such third party.
(ii) | Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may elect to participate in such claim or action and to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, by written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party has provided notice of the Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party's expense. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or contract by the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or Claim relating to any such Third Party Claim, provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |
(iii) | In all cases, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Section 9 and the records of each shall be available to the other with respect to such defense subject to any restrictions or procedures necessary or appropriate to protect any attorney-client or other legal privileges. The party controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim shall keep the other party reasonably advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith any reasonable recommendations made by the non-controlling party with respect thereto. |
(iv) | If an Indemnified Party sustains any Losses not involving a Third Party Claim that such Indemnified Party believes gives rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall, if it intends to make a claim with respect thereto against an Indemnifying Party, deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9(e)(i). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party promptly after demand therefor or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date on which such amount (or such portion) is finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through such negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Sections 13 and 15. |
(v) | If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to this Section 9 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or any portion of such Losses from any third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party to assist the Indemnifying Party in recovering from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. |
(vi) | The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability. |
(f) | Limitation of Liability. |
(i) | After each Applicable Closing Date, solely with respect to those Loan Interests or Lease Interests transferred to Purchaser as of such Applicable Closing Date, except as provided in this Section 9 and in Sections 8(d), 8(g), 10, 18, 29 and 30, no Seller Party shall have any liability, responsibility or obligation to Purchaser with respect to this Agreement, the related Loan Interests, the related Lease Interests, the related Transaction Documents, or any of the other Sale Documents, either directly or indirectly. Purchaser hereby expressly waives all such liability, responsibility, obligations of and all recourse against each Seller Party. |
(ii) | It is acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser and Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Sale Document with respect to (x) any breach of representation, warranty or covenant of Seller or Purchaser hereunder or thereunder that is not otherwise qualified by materiality unless such breach is material or (y) a breach of any representation or warranty if, at the time such representation or warranty was made by Seller or Purchaser, Purchaser or Seller, respectively, had Knowledge of such breach. |
(g) | Survival of Representations and Warranties. No claim for indemnification may be made by any Seller Indemnitee under Section 9(a)(i)(a) or by any Purchaser Indemnitee under Section 9(b)(i)(a) for any breach of a representation or warranty after the expiration of the applicable Survival Period applicable to such representation or warranty. |
