  (b)

Scheduled Principal Payments. Each Revolving Senior Advance, each Revolving Mezz Advance and all other Obligations shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or on any earlier acceleration thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, so long as there is no continuing and uncured Event of Default existing on and as of the Maturity Date, Borrower may repay its outstanding Revolving Advances through but no later than the Runoff Date but otherwise in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.4.

 

  (c)

Mandatory Prepayment. Within two Business Days of the date of receipt by Borrower of proceeds from the sale or other disposition of a Portfolio Property, Borrower shall prepay in full and with all accrued interest, the applicable outstanding Revolving Senior Advances and Revolving Mezz Advances that were advanced to purchase and improve such Portfolio Property.

 

  (d)

Overadvance. Subject to the Pricing Side Letter, at any time that the sum of aggregate outstanding (i) Revolving Senior Advances (other than any Excess Advance(s)) exceeds the Revolving Senior Loan Amount, (ii) Revolving Mezz Advances (other than any Excess Advance(s)) exceeds the Revolving Mezz Loan Amount, (iii) Primary Mezz Advances (other than any Excess Advance(s)) exceeds the Primary Mezz Loan Amount, (iv) Aged Inventory Refinancing Advances (other than any Excess Advance(s)) exceeds the Aged Inventory Refinancing Loan Amount and/or (v) Revolving Advances exceeds the Revolving Advance Borrowing Base, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately pay to each Lender in cash the amount of such excess (subject to Section 2.4(i)).

 

  (e)

22


  (f)

Interest. Interest shall accrue on each Revolving Senior Advance at the Interest Rate and each Revolving Mezz Advance at the Mezz Interest Rate (in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(g)) and shall be due to each Lender on the first Business Day of each calendar month; provided, however, on the date of each Revolving Senior Advance and each Revolving Mezz Advance, Borrower shall pay stub interest on such Revolving Senior Advance and Revolving Mezz Advance from the date made to Borrower through the last day of the calendar month in which such Revolving Advance is made. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Revolving Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Revolving Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Revolving Advance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

  (g)

Obligation to Repay Revolving Advances. At no time shall the aggregate amount of all outstanding Revolving Advances (including the amount of any Revolving Advance being requested) exceed the Revolving Advance Borrowing Base. In furtherance of the foregoing:

 

  (i)

Borrower shall repay to the Lenders, in accordance with the payment allocations set forth in Section 2.4(i), each Revolving Advance (other than a Revolving Auction Advance, SFR Advance or Aged Inventory Refinancing Advance) based on the Revolving Advance Schedule (as defined in the Pricing Side Letter) and determined by reference to the number of days that have elapsed since the date of such Revolving Advance (provided that, notwithstanding such schedule, all such Revolving Advances shall be paid in full upon any earlier acceleration thereof).

 

  (ii)

Borrower shall repay to the Lenders, in accordance with the payment allocations set forth in Section 2.4(i), each Revolving Advance that is a Revolving Auction Advance based on the Revolving Auction Advance Schedule (as defined in the Pricing Side Letter) and determined by reference to the number of days that have elapsed since the date of such Revolving Advance (provided that, notwithstanding such schedule, all such Revolving Advances shall be paid in full upon any earlier acceleration thereof).

Without limiting the foregoing, (A) if an Auction Purchase does not become an Approved Auction Purchase within 45 days of the date of the Auction Advance with respect to such Auction Purchase or (B) upon a court having jurisdiction over an Auction finally determining that it will not approve such Auction Purchase, Borrower shall, within five days of the deadline set forth in subsection (A) of this sentence or, if earlier, within five days of the date of the court determination set forth in subsection (B) of this sentence, repay each such Revolving Advance made with respect to such Auction Purchase (and any accrued interest thereon).

 

  (iii)

Borrower shall repay to the Lenders, in accordance with the payment allocations set forth in Section 2.4(i), each Revolving Advance that is an SFR Advance based on the SFR Advance Schedule (as defined in the Pricing Side Letter) and determined by reference to the number of days that have elapsed since the date of such Revolving Advance (provided that, notwithstanding such schedule, all such Revolving Advances shall be paid in full upon any earlier acceleration thereof).

 

23


On the 360-day anniversary of each SFR Advance (the “SFR 1-Year Anniversary”), Borrower shall, at its expense, obtain a valuation of the underlying SFR Portfolio Property (the result of such valuation, the “SFR Valuation”). Borrower shall repay each such SFR Advance, in accordance with the payment allocations set forth in Section 2.4(i), in an amount equal to the SFR Valuation Percentage (as defined in the Pricing Side Letter) of the SFR Valuation every 30 days following the SFR 1-Year Anniversary until such SFR Advance is fully repaid.

 

  (iv)

Borrower shall repay to the Lenders, in accordance with the payment allocations set forth in Section 2.4(i), each Revolving Advance that is an Aged Inventory Refinancing Advance based on the Aged Inventory Advance Schedule (as defined in the Pricing Side Letter) and determined by reference to the number of days that have elapsed since the date of such Revolving Advance (provided that, notwithstanding such schedule, all such Revolving Advances shall be paid in full upon any earlier acceleration thereof).

 

  (v)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Property that is the subject of a Same-Day Borrowing fails to become a Portfolio Property within two Business Days following the funding of the Same-Day Borrowing, Borrower shall repay to the Lenders, in accordance with the payment allocations set forth in Section 2.4(i), the amounts described in, and in accordance with, Section 2.3(e).

 

  (h)

Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may, on any Business Day, subject to Section 2.7, prepay to Senior Lender any Revolving Senior Advance, in whole or in part, together with all accrued and unpaid interest owing with respect to the amount to be prepaid to the date of such prepayment. If, and only if, no amount is outstanding with respect to the corresponding Revolving Senior Advance as to a particular Portfolio Property, Borrower may, on any Business Day, subject to Section 2.7, prepay to Mezz Lender any Revolving Mezz Advance, in whole or in part, together with all accrued and unpaid interest owing with respect to the amount to be prepaid to the date of such prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower may not prepay any Revolving Mezz Advance at any time when there is any amount outstanding under the corresponding Revolving Senior Advance.

 

  (i)

Allocation of Payments. All payments and proceeds (of whatever nature) received with respect to Revolving Advances made by Senior Lender and Mezz Lender will be retained by such Lenders and be allocated as between them (and solely between them) in accordance with this Section. Subject to the Pricing Side Letter, any such payments and proceeds will be allocated in the following order of priority: first, in an amount equal to the accrued and outstanding reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Lenders (including, without limitation, Lenders’

 

24


  reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees (including, without limitation, those of Cogent Legal Services LLC), second, in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Senior Note with respect to the related Revolving Senior Advance; third, in an amount equal to the unpaid principal portion on the Revolving Senior Note with respect to the related Revolving Senior Advance until the related Revolving Senior Advance is paid in full; fourth, in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Mezz Note with respect to the related Revolving Mezz Advance; fifth, in an amount equal to the unpaid principal portion on the Revolving Mezz Note with respect to the related Revolving Mezz Advance until the related Revolving Mezz Advance is paid in full; and sixth, any amount remaining, to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) at any time as there is a continuing Event of Default and/or (b) from and after the Sequential Date, Mezz Lender may not receive any payment until and unless Senior Lender has been paid in full for all Obligations owed to it.

 

  (j)

Property Valuations. Borrower shall, at its expense, obtain a Property Valuation of each SFR Portfolio Property underlying an outstanding SFR Advance upon (i) the SFR 1-Year Anniversary with respect to such SFR Advance or (ii) the conversion of any Revolving Advance into an SFR Advance pursuant to Section 2.4(k). Additionally, any Lender may in its discretion from time to time, but not more often than once within a 180 day period, seek to confirm the valuation of the Portfolio Properties by obtaining a Property Valuation by providing a written notice to Borrower (a “Property Valuation Notice”). Such Property Valuations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will cover all the Portfolio Properties) will be at the expense of Borrower. Borrower will obtain Property Valuations for all such Portfolio Properties within 30 days following the Property Valuation Notice. For any such Portfolio Property that is under contract to be sold as of the date of the Property Valuation Notice, the Property Valuation of such Portfolio Property will be the sales price set forth in the sale contract. For all other such Portfolio Properties, the Property Valuation of such Portfolio Properties will be as set forth in one or more broker’s price opinions using real estate brokers reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender(s). If the sum of the so-ascertained values of such Portfolio Properties obtained pursuant to a Property Valuation Notice is less than the aggregate Cost of such Portfolio Properties (each such difference, a “Valuation Shortfall”), Borrower shall make a prepayment equal to the excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Senior Loans and Revolving Mezz Loans over the Revolving Advance Borrowing Base (calculated on a pro forma basis as if the Property Valuations most recently obtained were the Property Valuations in existence on the date the applicable loan was funded).1 Such prepayment shall be made within 10 Business Days of written notice by the Lenders to Borrower of such Valuation Shortfall. Such prepayment shall be applied to pay down the applicable Revolving Senior Loan and/or Revolving Mezz Loan, as the case may be, by an amount equal to the Valuation Shortfall for each such Portfolio Property for which the Valuation Shortfall is largest, until the Valuation Shortfall is reduced to zero.

  (k)

SFR Conversion/Eligibility. Borrower may, at any time, convert any Revolving Advance that is not an SFR Advance to an SFR Advance (each, an “SFR Conversion”) by notifying the Lenders in writing of its intent to effect such SFR Conversion, provided that, at the time of such SFR Conversion, (i) the Portfolio Property underlying such Revolving Advance qualifies as an SFR Portfolio Property and (ii) Borrower has a lease agreement on such underlying Portfolio Property to provide monthly rent in an amount that is no less than 0.7% of the Cost with respect to such Portfolio Property ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “SFR Eligibility Conditions”). At the time of any such SFR Conversion, Borrower shall, at its expense, obtain a valuation of the underlying Portfolio Property (the result of such valuation, the “SFR Conversion Valuation”) and, if the SFR Conversion Valuation is less than the Cost with respect to such underlying Portfolio Property at the time the original Revolving Advance was made (an “SFR Conversion Shortfall”), (A) Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such SFR Conversion Shortfall to the Lenders in accordance with the payment allocation set forth in Section 2.4(i) and (B) the amount of the original Revolving Advance shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of such SFR Conversion Shortfall. If, at any time following the 180-day anniversary of the date on which any SFR Advance was originally made (including any Revolving Advance that was subsequently converted into an SFR Advance pursuant to this Section 2.4(k)), the SFR Eligibility Conditions fail to be met with respect to the SFR Portfolio Property underlying such SFR Advance for 90 consecutive days, such SFR Advance shall automatically convert into, and be governed by the terms applicable to, a Revolving Advance that is not an SFR Advance.

 

26


2.5. Commitment Fee. For each calendar quarter during the Availability Period, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders (ratably, based on relative Committed Amounts) a non-refundable Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated as of the beginning of each calendar quarter, and fully earned as of the beginning of each such calendar quarter, for and with respect to Advances made available hereunder during such calendar quarter. Each fully earned Commitment Fee shall be due and payable on a quarterly basis on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, and any unpaid portion thereof shall be immediately due and payable upon any acceleration of the Obligations hereunder or upon the Maturity Date.

2.6. Unused Facility Fee. For each calendar quarter during the Availability Period, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders (ratably, based on relative unused Committed Amounts) an Unused Facility Fee. Each Unused Facility Fee shall be payable in arrears within 15 Business Days following the end of the applicable calendar quarter, and any unpaid portion thereof shall be immediately due and payable upon any acceleration of the Obligations hereunder or upon the Maturity Date.

2.7. Voluntary Prepayment Fee. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower makes a voluntary prepayment on any Advance pursuant to Section 2.4(h) (the amount of any such prepayment(s), the “Voluntary Prepayment Amount”), the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders (ratably, based on relative Voluntary Prepayment Amounts) a Voluntary Prepayment Fee with respect to such Voluntary Prepayment Amount. Each Voluntary Prepayment Fee shall be payable within 15 Business Days following the applicable prepayment(s), and any unpaid portion thereof shall be immediately due and payable upon any acceleration of the Obligations hereunder or upon the Maturity Date.

2.8. Maturity and Extension.

 

  (a)

Notification of Extension. Borrower may request to extend the Maturity Date for up to two additional one-year periods from the then-applicable Maturity Date by written notice to Lenders (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”) not later than 90 days prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date. If such notice is timely given, Senior Lender and Mezz Lender shall notice Borrower by no later than 15 days after they each receive such notice whether they each consent to an extension of the applicable Maturity Date, such decision to be made at the sole discretion of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender. If both Senior Lender and Mezz Lender consent to such an extension, the applicable Maturity Date shall then be so extended.

 

  (b)

Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Maturity Date Extensions. As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any such extension, each of the following requirements shall be satisfied or waived on or prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date, as determined in good faith by Lenders (the first date on which such conditions precedent are satisfied or waived with respect to the then-applicable Maturity Date, an “Extension Effective Date”):

 

  (i)

  (iii)

Lenders shall have received a certificate of Borrower dated as of the Extension Effective Date, signed by an authorized officer of Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except (x) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (y) any representation or warranty that is already by its terms qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Change” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date after giving effect to such qualification and (B) there is no continuing and uncured Event of Default.

Each statement shall be considered correct and to have been accepted by Borrower and shall be conclusively binding upon Borrower in respect of all charges, debits and credits of whatsoever nature contained therein respecting the applicable Revolving Advances, and the closing balance shown therein, unless Borrower notifies the applicable Lender in writing of any discrepancy within 20 days of the issuance of such statement by such Lender to Borrower.

3. SECURITY INTEREST CREATED; OBLIGATIONS SECURED.

3.1. Appointment of Collateral Agent. Each of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender hereby appoint the Collateral Agent (and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment) to take any action including, without limitation, the registration of any Collateral in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominees prior to or during the continuance of an Event of Default, the exercise of voting rights upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the application of any cash collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the payment of the Obligations, the making of any demand under the Loan Documents, the exercise of any remedies given to Lenders or the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any authority pursuant to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as an attorney-in-fact that the

Lenders must notify Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of future Obligations owed by Borrower to Lenders. The Collateral Agent will not be required to act hereunder in connection with future Obligations the existence of which was not disclosed in writing to the Collateral Agent nor will the Collateral Agent be required to act on behalf of any assignee of Obligations without the written consent of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or any other Loan Document except for an inaction or inaction arising from Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.2. Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations owed to either or both of them, a continuing security interest in, and assigns by way of collateral to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

3.3. Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender, to prepare and file financing statements with respect to the security interests granted hereby, continuation statements with respect thereto, and any amendments to such financing statements that may be necessitated to continue to perfect each such Lender’s interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees that, notwithstanding any provision in the Code to the contrary, Borrower shall not file a termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed by the Collateral Agent in connection with any security interest granted under this Agreement if the Collateral Agent reasonably objects to the filing of such termination statement.

3.4. Insurance. All liability insurance policies (with the exception of worker’s compensation insurance to the extent not available under statutory law) shall designate each Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds as their interests may appear.

3.5. Further Assurances. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender, shall at all times have a perfected security interest in the Collateral that shall be prior to any other interests therein other than Liens permitted under Section 6.2.

Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to take any of the foregoing actions requested of Borrower by Collateral Agent if Borrower should fail to take such actions, which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest.

 

29


3.6. Cross Collateralization. Borrower acknowledges that the Revolving Senior Advances and Revolving Mezz Advances and all other Obligations owed to Senior Lender and Mezz Lender are, and shall at all times be, cross collateralized. Borrower acknowledges that the Obligations owed to Senior Lender and Mezz Lender are cross guaranteed by the Guarantors and cross defaulted.

3.7. Subordination of Mezz Loans; Turnover. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, each of Senior Lender and Mezz Lender, respectively, agree that Revolving Mezz Advances made by Mezz Lender will be subordinate and junior with respect to the Collateral and right of payment to the Revolving Senior Advances made by Senior Lender. At any time as there is a continuing and uncured Event of Default and/or from and after the Sequential Date, (a) no payments in respect of a Revolving Mezz Loans may be made to Mezz Lender until all Obligations owed to the related Senior Lender have been paid in full and (b) all dispositions from any Collateral or any other amounts available shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to Senior Lender in respect of the Revolving Senior Advances. Mezz Lender agrees to forebear and not take any action to enforce its rights under (or in connection with) this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Servicing Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, any rights arising at law or in equity) until and unless Senior Lender has been paid in full for all Obligations owed to it; provided, however, Mezz Lender may take any action solely for the purpose of preserving its rights in the Collateral and against Borrower such as the giving of notice of an Event of Default. If and to the extent that Mezz Lender received or receives any payment from Borrower, Guarantors, Collateral Agent or otherwise to which it is not entitled under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, because Senior Lender has not been repaid in full with respect to any Advances on account of a particular Portfolio Property), Mezz Lender shall be deemed to hold such amount in trust for Senior Lender and shall promptly turnover such amount to Senior Lender without any need for Senior Lender to make a demand therefor.

3.8. No Other Indebtedness. Borrower shall not incur any Indebtedness, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation or assuming liability for the debts of any other Person and Borrower will not hold itself out as being liable for the debts of any other Person) except as expressly permitted hereunder. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.2, no Indebtedness other than the Revolving Senior Loan and the Revolving Mezz Loan or any other obligations to any Lender making such Loans may be secured (subordinate or pari passu) by the Collateral or any portion thereof.

Borrower will maintain its existence in good standing and comply with all laws and regulations of the United States and of any state or states thereof and of any political subdivision thereof, and of any Governmental Authority which may be applicable to it or to its business, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change; provided that this covenant shall not apply to any tax, assessment or charge which is being contested in good faith and with respect to which reserves have been established and are being maintained.

5.7. Separateness. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower acknowledges that each Lender is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon Borrower’s identity as a legal entity separate from each of its Affiliates.

  (e)

Borrower’s assets shall be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of any of its Affiliates;

 

  (f)

Borrower shall strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with any of its Affiliates, and funds or other assets of Borrower shall not be commingled or pooled with those of any of its Affiliates. Borrower shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any of its Affiliates has independent access; and

 

  (g)

Borrower shall maintain arm’s-length relationships with each of its Affiliates.

5.8. Taxes. Borrower will promptly pay all real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and any franchise, income, unemployment, old age benefits, withholding, sales and other taxes assessed against it or payable by it before delinquent; provided that this covenant shall not apply to any tax assessment or charge which is being contested in good faith and with respect to which reserves have been established and are being maintained.

5.9. Notification of Default. Within five days of Borrower acquiring actual knowledge of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default hereunder or a breach under any other warehouse financing facilities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, or any condition or event which would upon notice or lapse of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default hereunder or breach under any other warehouse financing facilities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall give each Lender written notice thereof specifying the nature and duration thereof and the action being or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

5.10. Notification of Material Litigation. Borrower will promptly notify each Lender in writing of any litigation or of any investigative proceedings of a governmental agency or authority commenced or threatened against it which would or might cause a Material Adverse Change to the financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor.

5.11. Notification of Financial Condition. Borrower will promptly notify each Lender of any adverse material changes in such Borrower’s financial condition.

35


5.13. Maintenance of Portfolio Properties. At all times prior to the payment in full of the Revolving Loans, Borrower shall: (a) cause its Portfolio Properties to be maintained in compliance with all provisions of all applicable zoning, subdivision, land use, environmental, traffic, fire, building, and occupational safety and health rules, regulations, codes, acts and statutes; and (b) comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and court orders affecting or which may be interpreted as affecting its Portfolio Properties and all zoning, subdivision, land use, environmental, traffic, fire, building, and occupational safety and health rules, regulations, codes, acts and statutes.

5.14. Make Payments When Due. Borrower shall remain current on its payment obligations to third Persons and make all payments to third Persons when due in the ordinary course of business.

5.15. Further Assurances. Borrower shall execute any further instruments and take further action as either Lender reasonably requests to perfect or continue Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

5.16. Reporting on Inventory to Sales Ratio. Borrower shall furnish to each Lender the Inventory to Sales Ratio on Monday of each week (or the next Business Day if a Monday is not a Business Day).

5.17. Independent Manager. At all times until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full, Borrower shall have at least one Independent Manager. Borrower shall not remove the Independent Manager before a replacement therefor has been appointed. Any new or replacement Independent Manager shall require the reasonable consent of each Lender.

5.18. Title Insurance. At the time that Borrower purchases a Property that becomes a Portfolio Property, Borrower shall have in place title insurance from a title insurer acceptable to Lenders in their reasonable discretion insuring Borrower’s ownership interest in such Portfolio Property, such title insurance to be evidenced by a title insurance policy or a marked-up title commitment in form and substance acceptable to Lenders in their reasonable discretion (“Title Insurance Policy/Commitment”).

5.19. Auction Advances. With regard to Auction Advances, an amount equal to the amount of the Auction Cost (other than anticipated closing costs (inclusive of curative amounts payable with respect to liens, code violations, HOA fees and similar items)) will at all times be held by a Governmental Authority until such time as the Auction Property becomes an Approved Auction Property or the amount so held is returned to Borrower.

5.20. Backup Servicer. Borrower shall, no later than the Backup Servicer Requirement Date, contractually engage a third party to act as the liquidation agent for the Lenders following an Event of Default, which engagement shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to Lenders.

5.21. Financial Covenants. The Parent shall, at all times, maintain consolidated (i) Tangible Net Worth in an amount not less than the Minimum Tangible Net Worth Amount and (ii) Liquidity in an amount not less than the Minimum Liquidity Amount.

 

36


6. NEGATIVE COVENANTS

6.1. Limitations on Indebtedness. Borrower shall not issue any evidence of Indebtedness or create, assume, guarantee, become contingently liable for, or suffer to exist Indebtedness other than Indebtedness to Lenders and Indebtedness approved by each such Lender in its sole discretion.

6.2. Encumbrance. Borrower shall not create, incur, allow, or suffer any Lien on any of its property, including, without limitation, any Portfolio Property, or assign or convey any right to receive income or permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security interest granted herein, other than Permitted Liens.

6.3. Changes in Business, Control. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Lenders, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (a) engage in any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by Borrower (for purposes of this provision, purchasing properties other than single-family residential real estate shall be deemed to be engaging in a business other than a business currently engaged in by Borrower, but the leasing of owned single-family residential real estate shall not be deemed to be engaging in a business other than a business currently engaged in by Borrower; (b) liquidate or dissolve; (c) permit, allow or suffer to occur a change of control, provided, that, the consummation of the SPAC Transaction shall not constitute a change of control; or (d) without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to each Lender, (1) add any new Borrower offices or business locations, (2) change the jurisdiction of organization of Borrower, (3) change the organizational structure or type of Borrower, (4) change its legal name or (5) change any organizational number (if any) assigned by the jurisdiction of organization of Borrower.

6.4. Merger. Other than in connection with the SPAC Transaction, Borrower will not merge or consolidate or be merged or consolidated with or into any other entity without each Lender’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in each such Lender’s sole discretion).

6.5. Payment to Affiliates. Borrower shall not directly or indirectly make any payment to an Affiliate, including, without limitation, by way of dividend or distribution, without the consent of each Lender, except for payments made to any Affiliate (a) under and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement to the Manager thereunder, (b) upon receipt of one or more Advances hereunder when such Affiliate has funded the purchase of an Auction Property or Portfolio Property (an “Affiliate Advance”) pending the receipt of one or more Advances hereunder, or (c) upon the sale of an Auction Property or Portfolio Property and the repayment in full of all Advances and other Obligations with respect to such sold Auction Property or Portfolio Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and/or from and after the Sequential Date, (x) no payment may be made under clause (i) of this paragraph other than payment of the Management Fee (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) as required by the Servicing Agreement, and (y) no payment

 

37


may be made under clauses (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, and (z) any amounts available to Borrower shall be used to make the payments to Lenders contemplated in Section 3.7. In the case of a payment under clause (ii) of this paragraph, the amount of the payment to such Affiliate shall not be more than the lesser of (1) the amount of such Advance or Advances hereunder with respect to such Auction Property or Portfolio Property and (2) the amount paid by such Affiliate for such Auction Property. In the case of a payment under clause (iii) of this paragraph, the payment to the Affiliate shall not be more than the amount received for such sold Auction Property or Portfolio Property (net of all transaction costs) minus the amount repaid hereunder in respect of such Auction Property or Portfolio Property. Borrower represents that the fee paid by Borrower under the Servicing Agreement to the Manager (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) is an arms-length fee and takes into account, among other things, the fact that such Manager may make Affiliate Advances. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall not transfer to any non-Borrower any amount borrowed hereunder except for amounts due under the Servicing Agreement or as otherwise specifically permitted under this paragraph.

7. DEFAULT

7.1. Event of Default. “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of any of the following events (taking into consideration any notice and opportunity to cure provisions set forth below):

 

  (a)

Borrower shall fail to pay the principal amount of any Obligations within 5 days of when due or interest on the Obligations within 5 days of when due;

 

  (b)

Borrower or any Guarantor shall be in default under any loan facility (or there should exist any default under an loan facility with respect to which Borrower or Guarantor is a borrower or a guarantor) equal to or greater than $1,000,000 in borrowings and/or availability and such default has not been cured within 10 days of its occurrence;

 

  (c)

Borrower or any Guarantor shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Servicing Agreement or in any other document, instrument or agreement relating to this Agreement or any other document or agreement executed by Borrower or any Guarantor with or in favor of any Lender and any such failure shall continue unremedied for more than 30 days; provided, however, that there shall be no such 30 day period where Borrower fails to comply with its obligations under Section 2.3(e) and Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth therein within the time period specified in such section shall be an immediate Event of Default;

 

  (d)

if any statement, representation or warranty heretofore, now or hereafter made by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with this Agreement, in any other Loan Document or in any supporting financial statement of Borrower or any Guarantor shall be determined by any Lender to have been false in any material respect when made;

 

38


  (e)

if Borrower or any Guarantor is a corporation, trust, partnership or limited liability company, the liquidation, termination or dissolution of any such organization, or the merger or consolidation of such organization into another entity, or its ceasing to carry on actively its present business or the appointment of a receiver for its property;

 

  (f)

the institution by or against Borrower or any Guarantor of any proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other law in which Borrower or any Guarantor is alleged to be insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature, or the making by Borrower or any Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the granting by Borrower or any Guarantor of a trust mortgage for the benefit of creditors;

 

  (g)

a judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $250,000, shall be rendered against Borrower or any Guarantor, and any such judgment shall remain unsatisfied and in effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of execution;

 

  (h)

(i) any levy, Lien (including mechanics lien), seizure, attachment, execution or similar process shall be issued or levied on any of any Portfolio Property, or any property of any Guarantor, and shall not be discharged or bonded against or released within 30 days after the issuance or attachment of such writ or lien, or (ii) any levy, Lien (including mechanics lien), seizure, attachment, execution or similar process shall be issued or levied on any of any Portfolio Property, or any property of any Guarantor, which individually or in the aggregate total more than $100,000; provided, however, that in the situation arising under clause (ii) of this subsection (h), such shall not be an Event of Default (A) if such Lien is a mortgage or similar Lien incurred by a Guarantor in the ordinary course of business, or (B) for so long as Borrower and/or Guarantor(s) are contesting the imposition of such levy, Lien, seizure, attachment, execution in good faith and have fully reserved for same; or

 

  (i)

the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change of Borrower or any Guarantor, or the occurrence of any other event or circumstance, such that any Lender, in its sole discretion, deems that it is insecure or that the prospects for timely or full payment or performance of any obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor to such Lender has been or may be impaired.

7.2. Acceleration; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, any or each Lender may (a) declare the entire Revolving Senior Loan or Revolving Mezz Loan owing to it, as the case may be, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, (b) terminate the obligation, if any, of such Lender to advance amounts hereunder, and (c) exercise all rights and remedies therefor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at law or in equity (including, without limitation, sale of any of its Collateral at public or private sale and/or retention by Lenders of such Collateral); provided nothing in this section shall limit or prejudice any Lender’s ability to make Protective Advances to protect the Collateral securing the Revolving Loans.

 

39


If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse any or each Lender may have because of such Event of Default, such Lender or Lenders which have outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrower may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon any Portfolio Property owned by Borrower for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to such Portfolio Properties as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If any or each Lender shall so elect to pay any sum due with reference to the Portfolio Properties, such Lender or Lenders may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, no Lender shall be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, Lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Additionally, if any hazardous substances affect or threaten to affect such Portfolio Properties, any or each Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) give such notices and take such actions as it deems necessary or advisable in order to abate the discharge of any hazardous substances or remove the hazardous substances. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold each Lender harmless from and against, and be responsible for, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by any such Lender pursuant to the provisions of this section, including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of such Lender, except as a result of such Lender’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All sums paid by any Lender pursuant to this section and all other sums expended by any such Lender to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, shall be deemed to be a Revolving Advance by such Lender, shall constitute additions to the Revolving Loan, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Borrower to Lenders upon demand.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in Borrower, and of its Portfolio Properties, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lenders under the Loan Documents to a sale of such Portfolio Properties for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lenders to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of such Portfolio Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. Borrower agrees that the actions, sales, proceedings and foreclosure described herein or in any of the other Loan Documents may be commenced in any order determined by each or any Lender with outstanding Revolving Loans to it and Borrower agrees and covenants to cooperate with each such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

40


7.3. [Reserved].

7.4. Nonexclusive Remedies. All of each Lender’s rights and remedies not only under the provisions of this Agreement but also under any other agreement or transaction shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by any or each Lender at such time or times and in such order of preference as such Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Waivers. Borrower waives notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment, demand, presentment, protest or notice of protest of the Obligations, and all other notices (other than those required by the Loan Documents), consents to any renewals or extensions of time of payment thereof, and generally waives any and all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof.

8.2. Interest on Revolving Advances and Expenses. All Revolving Senior Advances and Revolving Mezz Advances made and any reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred at any time by each Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, including without limitation Protective Advances, or monies Advanced as a consequence or to cure any default by Borrower hereunder, shall be secured by the Collateral. All such Revolving Senior Advances, Revolving Mezz Advances and expenses shall bear interest at a rate that equals the aggregate of the Default Rate plus the Interest Rate (if such advance is a Revolving Senior Advance) or the Default Rate plus the Mezz Interest Rate (if such advance is a Revolving Mezz Advance) from the date that each such Revolving Advance or expense is made or incurred to the date of repayment and all such Revolving Advances and expenses with interest thereon shall be paid by Borrower to Lenders on demand.

8.3. Waiver of Homestead. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower hereby waives and terminates any homestead rights and/or exemptions respecting any of its property under the provisions of any applicable homestead laws.

8.4. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion of such provision or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the remainder of this Agreement (or the remainder of such provision) and the application thereof to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

8.5. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold each Lender, Collateral Agent (acting on behalf of such Lenders) and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person (other than any other Lender) affiliated with or representing such Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, except for obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

41


Without limiting the foregoing clause (b), the indemnification provided by this section shall include claims arising in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower, including, without limitation Portfolio Properties, or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of Borrower except for claims directly arising from such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8.6. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay to each Lender and/or Collateral Agent (acting on behalf of such Lenders) any and all fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including, without limitation, those of Cogent Legal Services LLC), court costs, litigation and other expenses) incurred or paid by any such Lender and/or such Collateral Agent in establishing, maintaining, protecting or enforcing any of such Lender’s or such Collateral Agent’s rights or the Obligations, including, without limitation, any and all such fees, costs and expenses incurred or paid by such Collateral Agent (for the benefit of such Lender(s)) in defending such Collateral Agent’s security interest in, title or right to the Collateral or in collecting or attempting to collect or enforcing or attempting to enforce payment of the Obligations.

8.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail, .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.8. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding between and among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior proposals, negotiations, agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter. Lenders, Collateral Agent and Borrower agree that it is their respective intent that the security interests granted in connection with the Original Loan and Security Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect under this Agreement and such security interests shall secure the obligation incurred hereunder. Lenders, Collateral Agent and Borrower further agrees that it is their respective intent that nothing herein shall constitute a novation or a termination of the obligations under the Original Loan and Security Agreement, other than the release of the Legacy Borrowers (as defined in the Original Loan and Security Agreement), the Secondary Borrower (as defined in the Original Loan and Security Agreement) and the Limited Guarantors (as defined in the Original Loan and Security Agreement) and the termination of the Limited Guaranty (as defined in the Original Loan and Security Agreement) and the confessions of judgment related to the Legacy Borrowers, the Secondary Borrower and the Limited Guarantors as provided in the Side Letter.

8.9. Binding Effect of Agreement; Assignment of Agreement by Lenders. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and shall remain in full force and effect (and each Lender shall be entitled to rely thereon) until terminated as to future transactions by written notice from any party to another party of the termination hereof; provided that any such termination shall not release or affect any Collateral in which Collateral Agent already has a security interest or any Obligations incurred or

 

42


rights accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such notice (as hereinafter defined) of such termination. The Collateral Agent will not assign its obligations hereunder without the consent of the Lenders. Notwithstanding any such termination, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall have a security interest in all Collateral to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations arising after such termination as a result of commitments or undertakings made or entered into by such Lender prior to such termination. Either Lender may at any time and upon notice to Borrower (and without the consent of Borrower), transfer and assign this Agreement and direct the Collateral Agent to deliver the Collateral to an assignee, who shall thereupon have all of the rights of such Lender; and Collateral Agent shall then be relieved and discharged of any responsibility or liability with respect to this Agreement and the Collateral; provided, that, such assignee shall have executed a joinder agreement hereto in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Such assignee upon such assignment shall assume all obligations of such Lender hereunder and shall become a Senior Lender or a Mezz Lender, as the case may be. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, nothing, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that Senior Lender and Mezz Lender each reserve the right to participate its interest in the Revolving Loans.

8.10. Further Assurances. Borrower shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such further acts, instruments or documentation, including additional title insurance policies or endorsements, and title reinsurance, as either Lender or Collateral Agent may reasonably require from time to time to better assure, transfer and confirm unto such Lender or Collateral Agent the rights now or hereafter intended to be granted to such Lender or Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

8.11. Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

8.12. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations or obligation of Borrower to any Lender shall be outstanding, or Lenders shall have any obligation to extend any financial accommodation hereunder, and is supplementary to each and every other agreement between Borrower and either Lender and shall not be so construed as to limit or otherwise derogate from any of the rights or remedies of any Lender or any of the liabilities, obligations or undertakings of Borrower under any such agreement, nor shall any

 

43


contemporaneous or subsequent agreement between Borrower and either Lender be construed to limit or otherwise derogate from any of the rights or remedies of either Lender or any of the liabilities, obligations or undertakings of Borrower hereunder, unless such other agreement specifically refers to this Agreement and expressly so provides.
