Subject to the Pricing Side Letter, 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, prepay to Mezz Lender any Revolving Mezz Advance, without premium or penalty, 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 except as otherwise expressly provided in the Pricing Side Letter.

 

  (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

 

21


  an amount equal to the accrued and outstanding reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Lenders (including, without limitation, Lenders’ 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 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 seek to confirm the valuation of the Portfolio Properties by obtaining a Property Valuation. Up to two such Property Valuations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will cover all the Portfolio Properties) per year will be at the expense of Borrower. Upon written notice by such Lender(s) to Borrower (a “Property Valuation Notice”), Borrower will cause all such Portfolio Properties to be valued and such valuation must be completed 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 value of such Portfolio Property will be the sales price set forth in the sale contract. For all other such Portfolio Properties, the value 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 (x) the sum of the so-ascertained values of such Portfolio Properties for Borrower is less than the aggregate Cost of such Portfolio Properties or (y) solely with respect to a Supplemental Advance, the so-ascertained values of the Portfolio Properties subject to the Supplemental Advance is less than Supplemental Senior Advance Limit and/or the Supplemental Mezz Advance Limit using the values set forth in such valuation in subclause (i) of the definition of Price Percentage Amount (each such difference, a “Valuation Shortfall”), Borrower, within 10 Business Days of receipt of written notice of such Valuation Shortfall by Borrower, shall 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.

 

22


  (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.

2.5. Maturity and Extension.

 

  (a)

Notification of Extension. Borrower may request to extend the Maturity Date for additional one (1) year periods from the then-applicable Maturity Date by written notice to Lenders (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days prior to the date which is one year 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”):

 

23


  (i)

Lenders and the Collateral Agent shall have received an Extension Notice within the period required under clause (a) above and each Lender has consented to such extension under clause (a) above;

 

  (ii)

2.6. Making of Revolving Advances. Each Revolving Advance shall be conclusively deemed to have been made at the request of and for the benefit of Borrower when paid in accordance with Borrower’s written instructions.

2.7. Monthly Statement. At the option of Senior Lender and/or Mezz Lender, in each case in their sole discretion, after the end of each calendar month, Senior Lender and/or Mezz Lender may render to Borrower a written statement of the Revolving Senior Loan account and Revolving Mezz Loan account, as the case may be, showing all applicable credits and debits. 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 twenty (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,

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.

25


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.

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.

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 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 (i) inchoate Liens for taxes, assessments or homeowner’s association fees which are not yet due and payable, or payable, but not yet delinquent, (ii) Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, (iii) possessory rights in favor of lessors in connection with Buyer Boost Purchases and (iv) Liens approved by each Lender in its sole discretion.

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 (i) under and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement to the Manager thereunder, (ii) 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 (iii) 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 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

 

33


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):

  (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(f) 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;

 

  (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;

 

34


  (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.

 

35


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.

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.

 

36


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. 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.

 

37


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 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

 

38


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 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.
