Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 15 hereof, Borrowers agree that if any Repayment Amount is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of an SF Property and such Repayment Amount is paid on a date other than on a Remittance Date, Borrowers shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Lenders any such amounts to compensate Lenders for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which Lenders may incur as a result of such payments, including any hedge breakage costs.

(k) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances will be used by Borrowers for the costs and expenses related to their acquisition of SF Properties or the reimbursement of the costs and expenses related to their previous acquisition of SF Properties; provided, that no portion of the proceeds of any Advance may be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Advance or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof.

(l) Preparation/Recordation of Mortgage Documents. On or after the commencement of any Mortgage Period with respect to a Financed SF Property (or such period beginning on a later date as the applicable Lender may agree in writing (which agreement in writing may be via email) in its sole discretion), the Borrowers shall promptly execute Mortgage Documents with respect to such Financed SF Property and file or record, as applicable, such Mortgage Documents. For purposes of clarity, (x) other than during a Mortgage Period with respect to a Financed SF Property, the Property Documents with respect to such Financed SF Property are not required to include any Property Documents set forth in clause (i) of the “Property Documents” and (y) during a Mortgage Period with respect to an SF Property, Borrowers shall be responsible for any amounts incurred by Borrowers in connection with any execution and/or delivery of any Mortgage Documents pursuant to this Section 2(l), including without limitation any recording, filing or other similar fees, costs or taxes incurred by Borrowers in connection with the preparation, filing, recording, or releasing of any Mortgage Documents with respect to Financed SF Properties pursuant to this Section 2(l).

(m) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender fails to remit to Administrative Agent its proportionate share of any requested Advance in accordance with Section 2(e), such Lender will be a “Defaulting Lender”, and the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) Unused Fees in respect of the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall cease to accrue pursuant the terms of the Facility Documents;

(ii) The unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may be reduced to zero without any contemporaneous ratable reduction of the Commitments of the other Lenders; and

(iii) Neither the Commitment nor the Advances of such Defaulting Lender shall be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may have taken any action; provided, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable.

 

43


In the event that Administrative Agent determines that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (x) each Lender’s share of the Advances shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent and Lenders shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Advances in accordance with its Commitment whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and (y) the provisions of clauses (i) through (iii) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no cessation hereunder of a Lender as a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(n) Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby appoints and designates Borrower Representative as its representative and agent and attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, to act on its behalf for any and all purposes with respect to the Facility Documents. Borrower Representative shall have authority to exercise on behalf of such Borrower all rights and powers that it deems, in its sole discretion, necessary, incidental or convenient in connection with the Facility Documents, including the authority to issue Advance Requests, give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Advances, give and receive all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Facility Documents and take all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Facility Documents, it being the intent of each Borrower to grant to Borrower Representative plenary power to act on behalf of such Borrower in connection with and pursuant to the Facility Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The appointment of Borrower Representative as representative and agent and attorney-in-fact for each Borrower shall be coupled with an interest and be irrevocable so long as the Facility Documents shall remain in effect unless, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower Representative is terminated by Administrative Agent by Administrative Agent providing Borrower Representative with prior written notice of Administrative Agent’s election to terminate Borrower Representative. Each Lender and Administrative Agent may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Facility Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each action, notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made, issued, entered into or executed and delivered by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made, issued, entered into or executed and delivered directly by such Borrower. Upon any such termination of Borrower Representative’s designation hereunder, any obligation of Borrower Representative under the Facility Documents shall cease to be an obligation of Borrower Representative and shall be deemed to be an obligation of the applicable Borrower. Borrower Representative shall forward to each applicable Borrower any notices, invoices and other

 

44


information requested by or received from Administrative Agent or any Lender immediately upon receipt by Borrower Representative. Borrower Representative may not resign nor be removed from acting in its capacity as representative and agent and attorney-in-fact of each Borrower by any Borrower so long as the Facility Documents remain in effect.

(o) The Borrowers may, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Committed Facility Amount, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Committed Facility Amount, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (A) any such notice shall be received by Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (B) any such partial reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each such termination or permanent reduction must be accompanied by a payment of any amounts payable under Section 10 or any other amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder in respect thereof.

Section 3. Payment of Facility Interest.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) the Advances Outstanding with respect to the Class A Advances shall on each day bear interest at the Class A Applicable Rate and (ii) the Advances Outstanding with respect to the Class B Advances shall on each day bear interest at the Class B Applicable Rate. Interest shall accrue on a 360-day per year basis for the actual number of days elapsed during the relevant period. Interest on the Advances Outstanding shall be payable in arrears on each Remittance Date in respect of the previous Pricing Period and on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) On each Remittance Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent the Facility Interest accrued and outstanding during the related Pricing Period.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent interest at the applicable Default Rate on any principal of any Advance and on any other amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder, that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages, if applicable, and other Mortgage Documents to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law.

Section 4. Income Payments.

(a) Collection and Retention of Income. Borrowers shall ensure that all Income is remitted directly into the Concentration Account without first being deposited into any account maintained by any Borrower-Related Party or any other Person. To the extent that any Borrower-Related Party (other than the related Borrower) is holding any Income consisting of Net Sale Proceeds, such Borrower shall cause such Borrower-Related Party to deposit such Income on receipt by such Borrower-Related Party into the Concentration Account. Funds deposited in the Concentration Account shall be held therein, in trust for Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall instruct the Concentration Account Bank to withdraw, on a daily basis, funds then on deposit in the Concentration Account and deposit such funds in the Collection Account subject to the terms of the Concentration Account Control Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Concentration Account and the Operating Account shall remain uninvested; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collection Account may be a “Plus Money Market Deposit Account” at the Paying Agent or such other type of account at the Paying Agent as is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

 

45


(b) Periodic Remittance Report. On each Remittance Date, Calculation Agent will provide Paying Agent with written instructions directing the distribution of Income then on deposit in the Collection Account, all in sufficient detail to allow Paying Agent to comply with such instructions (such instructions, the “Periodic Remittance Report”). In furtherance of the foregoing, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to each Remittance Date, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Calculation Agent and Administrative Agent a monthly property management report of Borrowers in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D setting forth information (relating to the immediately preceding complete calendar month) regarding all of the Financed SF Properties. Upon receipt of such monthly property management report, Calculation Agent shall review the substance thereof, verify any applicable calculation contained therein as required under this Agreement and shall prepare and deliver a Periodic Remittance Report to Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Remittance Date. No later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Remittance Date, Administrative Agent shall either revise or request that such report be revised in order to correct any information that Administrative Agent believes to be incorrect, or shall authorize such report and deliver payment instructions to the Paying Agent.

(c) Payments from Collection Account. Subject to the terms of the Collection Account Control Agreement, Administrative Agent shall cause Paying Agent to apply all funds on deposit in the Collection Account on each Remittance Date in accordance with the related Periodic Remittance Report and as follows:

(i) first, to the Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid fees and permitted expenses (including indemnity amounts) incurred under the Facility Documents;

(ii) second, to the Valuation Agent and Diligence Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid fees and permitted expenses (including indemnity amounts) incurred under the Facility Documents;

(iii) third, pro rata to each Class A Lender on account of unpaid fees (including any Class A Upfront Fee), expenses, One-Month LIBOR breakage costs, any outstanding Advance Reduction, Concentration Limit Advance Reduction, and indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to Class A Lenders under the Facility Documents;

(iv) fourth, pro rata to each Class A Lender an amount equal to the Class A Facility Interest which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Remittance Date;

(v) fifth, pro rata to each Class A Lender to reduce the outstanding Repayment Amount for each Financed SF Property, if any, that has been sold or transferred to zero ($0);

(vi) sixth, on any date on or after the commencement of the Early Amortization Event Repayment Period, pro rata to each Class A Lender to reduce the Class A Advances Outstanding to zero ($0);

 

46


(vii) seventh, to retain in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Class A Interest Reserve Amount (calculated as of the last day of the current Pricing Period);

(viii) eighth, pro rata to each Class B Lender on account of unpaid fees (including any Class B Upfront Fee), expenses, One-Month LIBOR breakage costs, any outstanding Advance Reduction, Concentration Limit Advance Reduction, and indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to Class B Lenders under the Facility Documents;

(ix) ninth, pro rata to each Class B Lender an amount equal to the Class B Facility Interest which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Remittance Date;

(x) tenth, pro rata to each Class B Lender to reduce the outstanding Repayment Amount for each Financed SF Property, if any, that has been sold or transferred to zero ($0);

(xi) eleventh, on any date on or after the commencement of the Early Amortization Event Repayment Period, pro rata to each Class B Lender to reduce the Class B Advances Outstanding to zero ($0);

(xii) twelfth, to retain in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Class B Interest Reserve Amount (calculated as of the last day of the current Pricing Period);

(xiii) thirteenth, to Asset Manager on account of any accrued and unpaid fees and permitted expenses incurred under the Facility Documents; and

(xiv) fourteenth, any remaining amounts shall be remitted in accordance with the written instructions of Borrower Representative provided to Lender and Paying Agent.

(d) Payment of Remittance Date Shortfalls. If funds in the Collection Account on any Remittance Date are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts required to be paid on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) through and including (vi), then Borrowers shall, on the Business Day immediately following such Remittance Date, pay to Lenders the amount of such shortfall.

(e) Receipt by Administrative Agent. To the extent that Administrative Agent receives any funds from the sale, transfer or other disposition of an SF Property, Administrative Agent shall cause Paying Agent to apply such funds in accordance with the same order of priority set forth in Section 4(c) hereof.

(f) Alternate Rate of Interest.

(i) If, as a result of any Regulatory Change, Administrative Agent determines that the cost (including, but not limited to, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge, capital charge, liquidity requirement, Tax (imposed on loans, loan principal, letters, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto but excluding any (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes or other assessment)) to Lenders of making or maintaining the Advance hereunder is increased, or

 

47


any amount received or receivable by any Lender hereunder is reduced, or any Lender is required to make any payment in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby, then Borrowers shall pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as Agent determines will compensate such Lender for such increased cost, reduction or payment.

(ii) If prior to the commencement of any interest period for the Advance (during which it shall be accruing interest as a Eurodollar Loan), Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such interest period or (ii) the LIBO Rate for such interest period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Advance, then Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrowers by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then (i) any request to continue the Advances as a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 3 shall be ineffective and (ii) the then outstanding Advances shall accrue interest at the Base Rate.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, if a LIBOR Cessation Event has occurred, then upon written notice by Administrative Agent to Borrowers at a time selected by Administrative Agent, but not later than the actual date of permanent cessation of the LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate shall be replaced, for all purposes hereunder and under any other Facility Document, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of, any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, by (i) the sum of Term SOFR and the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (such sum, the “Adjusted Term SOFR”) if the Term SOFR Transition Conditions are satisfied at such time, or (ii) the sum of Daily Simple SOFR and the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (such sum, the “Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR”) if the Term SOFR Transition Conditions are not satisfied; provided that if the Term SOFR Transition Conditions are satisfied after the LIBO Rate is replaced by the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Administrative Agent may by at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Borrower Representative and Calculation Agent, replace such rate with the Adjusted Term SOFR. In the event that either the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be less than zero, such rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. If a LIBOR Cessation Event shall have occurred and neither Term SOFR nor Daily Simple SOFR is available, then upon written notice from Administrative Agent to Borrowers and Calculation Agent and until such rates are available, as confirmed by written notice from Administrative Agent to Borrowers and Calculation Agent, the then outstanding Advances shall accrue interest at the Base Rate, unless Administrative Agent and Borrower agree on a different rate (and provide written notice to Calculation Agent of same). For avoidance of doubt, if for some interest periods the LIBO Rate becomes unavailable prior to a LIBOR Cessation Event, those interest periods will no longer be available for selection by Borrowers.

(iv) In connection with the implementation of a rate replacement described in clause (c) above, Administrative Agent may from time to time, upon written notice to Borrower Representative, make any technical, administrative or operational changes to this Agreement or any other Facility Documents (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day”, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the timing of prepayment or conversion notices, the length of lookback periods, the applicability

 

48


of breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such rate replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Lenders; provided, that any such changes shall not affect the Calculation Agent’s rights and obligations hereunder without its written consent.

Section 5.Requirements of Law.

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

(i) shall subject any Lender or Administrative Agent to any Tax (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on payments to any Lender or Administrative Agent in respect thereof, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or Administrative Agent of any amounts payable under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Lender or Administrative Agent);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender or Administrative Agent which is not otherwise included in the determination of the One-Month LIBOR hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on any Lender or Administrative Agent any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost (other than Taxes) to a Lender or Administrative Agent of performing its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender under this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, or making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof;

then, in any such case, within thirty (30) days after demand by Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall promptly pay Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Administrative Agent as will compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) Borrower acknowledges that any Lender may institute measures in anticipation of a Requirement of Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on Lender’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from Borrower under this Section 5 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Requirement of Law, and Borrower agrees to pay such charges or compensation to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, following demand therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred. Borrower further acknowledges that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such Lender.

 

49


(c) If any Lender or Administrative Agent becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5, Administrative Agent shall provide a certificate of the Lender or Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 submitted by Administrative Agent to Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Repayment Date following receipt of such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

Section 6.Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by a Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which a Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (including penalties, interest and additions to tax with respect thereto), whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If a Borrower shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to a Recipient, (i) such Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) in the case of Non-Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 6) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than any of the following Taxes imposed on or with respect to a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, (a) Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes and branch profits Taxes, in each case, (i) imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Recipient is organized or has its principal office or, in the case of a Lender, the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) in which its applicable lending office is located or (ii) that are Other Connection Taxes, (b) Excluded Taxes described in the final two sentences of Section 6(e), (c) Taxes with respect to which a Lender, pursuant to Section 6(f), is not entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under Section 6(a) or (c) and (d) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (each Tax described in clauses (a)-(d), an “Excluded Tax”).

(b) In addition, each Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Facility Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made at a Borrower’s written request) (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

 

50


(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify Paying Agent, Lenders and Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or paid by Paying Agent, any Lender and/or Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by a Borrower provided for in this Section 6(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. Amounts payable by Borrowers under the indemnity set forth in this Section 6(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Paying Agent or Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender, Administrative Agent or Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Upon the request of Administrative Agent or Paying Agent, Borrowers (or any Person making such payment on behalf of a Borrower) shall furnish to Administrative Agent or Paying Agent, as applicable, for its own account a certified copy of the official receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or Paying Agent, as applicable.

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 6, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document shall deliver to Borrowers, Paying Agent and Administrative Agent, on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrowers, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that has not been informed by Borrowers in writing that such documentation pursuant to Section 6(e) is unnecessary (a “Non-Exempt Lender”), shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrowers the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E with Part II completed in which such Lender claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

 

51


(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Section 6 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 6 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments), and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were a Lender; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Lender is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Borrowers; provided, however, that such Lender shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were a Lender; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were a Lender; and

 

52


(viii) if a payment made to a Lender under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers, Paying Agent and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower, Paying Agent or Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Administrative Agent shall notify Paying Agent of any deductions and/or withholdings required to be made under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. If at the time a Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement, changes its lending office, or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, is subject to a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” (i.e., each an Excluded Tax) and shall not be Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the date of this Agreement) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, such Lender transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 6, then such Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that such Lender transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and such Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes, in accordance with terms and conditions provided in the Agreement.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide Borrowers with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 6 (other than if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Administrative Agent, such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 6 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the Relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(h) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6, or if a Borrower is required to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5 or this Section 6, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrowers, Lenders, Paying Agent and Administrative Agent contained in this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall require Administrative Agent or Lenders to make available any of its tax returns or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(j) For federal income tax purposes each of the Collection Account and the Loan Account will be owned by OFFERPAD SPE BORROWER A, LLC (in such capacity, the “Account Owner”). The Account Owner shall provide Paying Agent with (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 by the Effective Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable written request of Paying Agent as may be necessary (a) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes to the Account Owner and (b) to permit Paying Agent to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Collection Account or any amounts paid to the Account Owner. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered by an Account Owner becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including without limitation in connection with the transfer of any beneficial ownership interest in Borrower), the Account Owner shall timely provide to Paying Agent accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. Wells Fargo, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Paying Agent, shall have no liability to the Account Owner or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Collection Account pursuant to applicable law arising from the Account Owner’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph.

Section 7. Security Interest; Administrative Agents Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest and Collateral Assignment.

Each Borrower, to the extent of its rights therein and apart from any Mortgage that may be recorded in the future following the occurrence of a Mortgage Event, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Administrative Agent as security for the repayment of the Secured Obligations and its performance under each Facility Document to which it is a party, and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, the Financed SF Properties and all of such Borrower’s accounts, deposit accounts, commercial tort claims, documents, goods, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, securities, investment property, promissory notes, letters of credit, letter of credit rights, supporting obligations and all other property of any type or nature, wherever located, whether now or hereafter existing, owned or acquired and the proceeds and products thereof, which shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as “Collateral”, in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, to secure the repayment of principal of and interest on all Advances and all other amounts owing to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the other Facility Documents.

(i) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Administrative Agent all of such Borrower’s right, title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) any Purchase Agreements, all other related agreements, contracts, takeout commitments, documents and instruments evidencing or guarantying any Collateral and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to or constituting any of the foregoing (the “Assigned Documents”). Each Borrower confirms and agrees that (x) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Borrower shall enforce its rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, and (y) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent (or its designee) shall have the right to enforce each Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of Administrative Agent or its designee to perform any of the obligations of each Borrower under any such Assigned Document.

(ii) Each Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Collateral as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate, including financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of such Borrower and the proceeds and products thereof”. Borrowers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 7.

(b) Acquisition of SF Property. Each Borrower shall cause all SF Properties acquired by it to be taken by Deed, or by means of such instruments as is provided by the Governmental Authority governing the transfer, in each case, in the name of the related Borrower and in accordance with the terms of the related SPE Agreement.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Borrower, as applicable, and in the name of such Borrower,

 

55


as applicable, or in its own name, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, such power is only exercisable following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby gives Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of each Borrower Party, as applicable, without assent by, but with notice to, Borrowers, as applicable, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) in the name of the related Borrower, as applicable, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Administrative Agent or as Administrative Agent shall direct, including any payment agent with respect to any Collateral; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against a Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Administrative Agent’s option and Borrowers’ expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as a Borrower might do.

Each Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, each Borrower agrees to execute a Power of Attorney to be delivered on or prior to the initial Funding Date. Borrowers and Administrative Agent acknowledge that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date and

 

56


satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations. The powers conferred on Administrative Agent under this Section 7(c) and under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s interests in the Financed SF Properties and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers and such powers shall only be exercised by Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

Borrowers also authorize Administrative Agent, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 14 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

The powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrowers for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 8. Payment, Transfer and Custody. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by any Borrower hereunder or under any Facility Document shall be made in Dollars, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at the following account maintained by Administrative Agent at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.: City, State: New York, N.Y., ABA #: 021-000-021, Account Name: Loan Department Early, Account Number: 099999090, Reference: ABS Offerpad, Attention: Sophia Redzaj, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment received after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the Business Day next succeeding the date of receipt by Administrative Agent of such payment). Each Borrower acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account. Any payment required to be made by any Party hereunder that is received after the date or time otherwise required to be received shall not be deemed received late if such delay is due solely to delays in the federal wire transfer system that are beyond the control of the Party initiating such wire transfer.

Section 9. Authorizations. Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 1 are Authorized Representatives, acting singly, to act for Borrowers, Lenders or Administrative Agent, as applicable under this Agreement.

Section 10. Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent all amounts due and owing as set forth in this Agreement, including the Administrative Agent Fee, the Upfront Fees and the Unused Fees. The Upfront Fees, and, subject to the provisions of clause (a) below of this Section 10, the Unused Fees and all other fees payable under any Facility Document are non-refundable once earned, and such payment shall be made in Dollars, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at such account designated by Administrative Agent; provided that in the case of the Upfront Fees, Administrative Agent and each Lender may at their option net the amount of such Upfront Fee against the amount of the initial Advance by such Lender under this Agreement.

(a) Class A Unused Fees. In addition to any fees or other amounts payable by the Borrowers to Administrative Agent and Lenders, on a monthly basis, the Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Class A Lender in proportion to that Class A Lender’s Pro Rata Share, for each day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing to and excluding the Facility Termination Date,

 

57


a fee (“Class A Unused Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Class A Unused Fee Rate on such day divided by 360 and (ii) the difference between the Class A Committed Facility Amount and the Class A Advances Outstanding on that day, payable in arrears on each Remittance Date with respect to the related Pricing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no Unused Fee shall be due in connection with an Optional Repayment by Borrowers of all Class A Advances Outstanding and the termination of the Class A facility.

(b) Class B Unused Fees. In addition to any fees or other amounts payable by the Borrowers to Administrative Agent and Lenders, on a monthly basis, the Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Class B Lender in proportion to that Class B Lender’s Pro Rata Share, for each day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing to and excluding the Facility Termination Date, a fee (“Class B Unused Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Class B Unused Fee Rate on such day divided by 360 and (ii) the difference between the Class B Committed Facility Amount and the Class B Advances Outstanding on that day, payable in arrears on each Remittance Date with respect to the related Pricing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no Unused Fee shall be due in connection with an Optional Repayment by Borrowers of all Class B Advances Outstanding and the termination of the Class B facility.

Section 11. Representations. Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent that, as to itself, as of each Funding Date and as of the date of this Agreement:

(a) Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized. Borrower is duly qualified to do business, is in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses, franchises, permits, charters, registrations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and the performance of its obligations under the Facility Documents except where any failure to obtain such a license, franchise, permit, charter, registration or approval could not reasonably be expected to cause or be likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower’s location (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC), and the office where Borrower keeps all records (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) relating to the Eligible SF Properties is at the address of Borrower referred to in Schedule 1, as such Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Borrower has not changed its name or location within the past twelve (12) months. Borrower’s organizational identification number is as listed in Schedule 3 or Borrower’s Joinder Agreement, as applicable. The fiscal year of Borrower is the calendar year. Borrower has not engaged in any activities since its formation other than as contemplated in, or permitted under, the Facility Documents.

(b) Power and Authority. Borrower has all necessary power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Facility Documents and to consummate the transactions therein contemplated.

(c) Due Authorization.

58


(d) Non-contravention. None of the execution and delivery of the Facility Documents by Borrower or the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated:

(i) conflicts with, breaches or violates any provision of the organizational documents or material agreements of Borrower or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award currently in effect having applicability to Borrower or its properties;

(ii) constitutes a material default by Borrower under any loan or repurchase agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties is or may be bound or affected; or

(iii) results in or requires the creation of any lien upon or in respect of any of the assets of Borrower except the lien relating to the Facility Documents.

(e) Legal Proceeding. There is no action, proceeding, suit, arbitration or investigation by or before any court, governmental or administrative agency or arbitrator affecting any Financed SF Property, Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliates of Borrower or Guarantor, pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, which (i) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower Party, (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the Facility Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or (iii) which seeks to prevent the Advance or the pledge of any Collateral.

(f) Valid and Binding Obligations. Each of the Facility Documents to which Borrower is a party, when executed and delivered by Borrower, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower, in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(g) Financial Statements. The audited balance sheet of Guarantor as at the fiscal year most recently ended for which such audited balance sheet is available, and the related audited statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification arising out of the audit conducted by Guarantor’s independent certified public accountants, copies of which have been furnished to Administrative Agent, (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Guarantor as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes). Except as disclosed in such Financial Statements, Guarantor is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of causing a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Guarantor.

 

59


(h) Accuracy of Information. The information, reports, certificates, documents, financial statements, operating statements, forecasts, books, records, files, exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent in connection with the Facility Documents, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. All projections will be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

(i) No Consents. No material consent, license, franchises, approval or authorization from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality, nor any consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other non-governmental person, is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance or consummation by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents, other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

(j) Compliance With Law, Etc. No practice, procedure or policy employed or proposed to be employed by Borrower Parties in the conduct of its business or pursuant to the Facility Documents violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, regulatory consent, order or decree applicable to it, which, if enforced, would have a reasonable possibility of resulting in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower Parties. None of Borrower nor any Subsidiaries or Parents of Borrower, nor to the knowledge of Borrower, any Affiliates of Borrower (i) is in violation of any Sanctions or (ii) is a Sanctioned Target. The proceeds of any Advance have not been and will not be used, directly or, to Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, indirectly, to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to a Sanctioned Target or otherwise in violation of Sanctions, Anti-Corruptions Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(k) Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. Each of Borrower and Guarantor is Solvent and will not be rendered not Solvent by any Advance and, after giving effect to any such Advance, Borrower will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Borrower is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Borrower or any of its assets. The receipt of an Advance and pledge of the Financed SF Properties subject hereto is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of Borrower or Guarantor. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is or has ever been the subject of any proceedings of the type referred to in the definition of “Insolvency Event” hereunder.

(l) Investment Company Act Compliance. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined under the Investment Company Act nor as an entity under the control of an “investment company” as defined under the Investment Company Act.

(m) Taxes. Each Borrower-Related Party has filed (or obtained effective extensions for filing) all required income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it, including mortgage recording taxes, and has paid all taxes (including mortgage recording taxes and other Property Taxes), and any assessments payable by them, or with respect to any of their properties or assets which have become due unless, in each case, the

 

60


same are not delinquent and are being contested in accordance with Section 12(p) and such non-payment would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim relating to any such taxes now pending or, to its knowledge, threatened by any Governmental Authority against any it, which is not being contested in good faith as provided above.

The Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree that the Lenders will use good faith efforts to apply customary and market apportionment principles to the aggregate amount secured by each individual Mortgage so that the amount secured by such Mortgage does not exceed 125% of current value of the associated SF Property.

(n) No Broker. Borrower has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other Person, except for Administrative Agent, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the receipt of the Advances and pledge of the Financed SF Properties pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that if Borrower has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other Person, except for Administrative Agent, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the receipt of the Advances and pledge of the Financed SF Properties pursuant to this Agreement, such commission or compensation shall have been paid in full by Borrower.

(o) Regulation T, U and X. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its major activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of any Advance hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. The use of all funds acquired by Borrower under this Agreement will not conflict with or contravene any of Regulations T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified.

(p) ERISA. No Event of ERISA Termination has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(q) Subsidiaries. Borrower has no Subsidiaries. Pledgor directly owns 100% of the equity interests in Borrower. Guarantor directly owns 100% of the equity interests in Pledgor. Such equity interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. There is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which Borrower or Pledgor is a party requiring, and none of such equity interests outstanding, which upon conversion or exchange, would require the issuance by it of its equity interests or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, its equity interests. The equity interests in the Borrower has been pledged by the Pledgor to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof.

(u) Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The operations of Borrower are, and have been, conducted at all times in compliance with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws. No litigation, regulatory or administrative proceedings of or before any court, tribunal or agency with respect to any Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws have been started or (to the best of its knowledge and belief) threatened against Borrower or to the knowledge of Borrower any Affiliates of Borrower.

(w) Insurance. Borrowers have delivered to Administrative Agent evidence of all insurance policies necessary to satisfy the Insurance Requirements in accordance with Section 2(c)(xii). All such policies are in full force and effect. No claims have been made that are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any such insurance policies with respect to such claims the related insurer has indicated a defense to payment or any unwillingness to pay such claim, which defense or unwillingness to pay is reasonably expected to result in non-payment in full or in part of such claim and any such failure to pay such claim could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any such insurance policy, there has been no act or omission that that would impair the coverage of such policy, the benefits of the endorsement or the validity and binding effect of either in any material respect.

 

62

(cc) Adverse Selection. Borrower has not selected any SF Property, whether individually or together with any other SF Property, in a manner adverse to Administrative Agent or in a manner that results, as of the time of submission of the related Advance Request by Borrower, in Lenders financing any SF Property that is of lesser quality than assets pledged to other lenders pursuant to any other facility to which a Borrower Party is a party.

(dd) No Reliance.

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of each Borrower Party contained in Facility Documents.

(iv) Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent through its Affiliates or designees, may elect any or all of the following remedies (A) foreclose any Mortgage in part or in full, (B) sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory any or all of the Financed SF Properties and Collateral and (C) retain such Financed SF Properties and Collateral and give the related Borrower credit for such Financed SF Properties in an amount equal to an Evaluation of the related SF Property, which Evaluation must be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such retention, delivered to Administrative Agent by the Valuation Agent, at the applicable Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

Subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, the Required Lenders shall have the sole authority to, without limitation, declare or waive a Default of Event of Default, accelerate any of the Secured Obligations, direct the Administrative Agent to commence or refrain from commencing any enforcement proceedings whatsoever pursuant to any of the Facility Documents or take any other action permissible hereunder or under applicable law, provided that, so long as the Required Class A Lenders are the Required Lenders:

 

80


(i) Only the Class A Lenders shall be permitted to waive, in their sole discretion, the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 13(a) with respect to amounts due and payable to the Class A Lenders;

(ii) Only the Class B Lenders shall be permitted to waive, in their sole discretion, the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 13(a) with respect to amounts due and payable to the Class B Lenders;

(iii) The Class A Lenders shall have the right but not the obligation, upon written notice to the Class B Lenders, to waive any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 13(a) with respect to the Class B Lenders), provided that, once the Class B Lenders receive such notice from the Class A Lenders, the Class B Lenders will have five (5) Business Days to object in writing to such waiver with the basis for such objection being that the waiver of the Event of Default would have a material effect, or a reasonable likelihood of a material effect, on the Class B Lenders’ (A) rights as a Lender, (B) ability to be repaid or (C) collateral position, in which case, the Class A Lenders shall not waive such Event of Default without the Class B Lenders’ consent, provided further, that if the Class A Lenders determine in their sole discretion that not waiving such Event of Default would be materially prejudicial on the Class A Lenders’ (A) rights as a Lender, (B) ability to be repaid or (C) collateral position, then the Class A Lenders’ decision to waive such Event of Default shall govern;

(iv) The Class B Lenders, upon giving one hundred fifty (150) days’ prior written notice to the Class A Lenders, shall be permitted to declare an Event of Default (subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 14(b)) if the Class A Lenders have not declared such Event of Default by the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day after the Class A Lenders’ receipt of such notice from the Class B Lenders; provided that, the Class B Lenders shall not be permitted to declare an Event of Default if such Event of Default has been waived by the Class A Lenders or the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section; provided further that, the Class B Lenders shall be permitted to take such actions (whether before or after the expiration of such one hundred fifty (150) day period) as may be reasonably necessary to preserve or toll the Class B Lenders’ rights (including with respect to any applicable statute of limitations or filing a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding);

(v) The Required Lenders shall provide prior written notice to the Class B Lenders (the “Exercise Notice”) of their intent to commence the exercise of remedies under this Agreement and the Class B Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, with written notice to the Class A Lenders (the “Purchase Option Notice”) not later than five (5) Business Days after their receipt of such Exercise Notice, to elect to purchase the Class A Advances Outstanding at such time for an amount equal to the full amount of the Secured Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders at such time (the “Purchase Option”); provided that such Purchase Option must be completed within ten (10) Business Days of the Class A Lenders’ receipt of the Purchase Option Notice (the “Purchase Deadline”); provided, further, that the Purchase Deadline shall be automatically extended to fifteen (15) Business Days after the Class A Lenders’ receipt of the Purchase Option Notice if the Class B Lenders shall have (A) provided written certification to the Class A Lenders that the Class

 

81


B Lenders have duly called the capital required to complete the Purchase Option and (B) delivered a non-refundable cash deposit to the Class A Lenders in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Secured Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders at such time; provided, further, that the Class A Lenders shall not take any enforcement action during such five (5), ten (10) and fifteen (15) Business Day periods referenced above except to the extent such Class A Lenders or the Administrative Agent determine is necessary to protect and/or preserve the rights of such Class A Lenders hereunder; provided, further, that in the event the Class B Lenders shall fail to consummate the Purchase Option on or prior to the Purchase Deadline, the Class B Lenders shall not have any further Purchase Option right with respect to the Class A Advances Outstanding hereunder;

(vi) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to which the Class A Lenders exercise their remedies under Article 9 of the UCC, the Class B Lenders shall be permitted to credit bid the amount of the Secured Obligations owed by Borrower to Class B Lenders so long as the net proceeds from the exercise of such remedies satisfy the Class A Lenders in full in accordance with Requirements of Law; and

(vii) upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of a Borrower Party or Guarantor, nothing will impair the Class A Lenders’ or Class B Lenders’ rights in its capacity as an unsecured creditor of any Borrower Party or Guarantor.

(c) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Financed SF Properties and Collateral, Administrative Agent may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. Each Borrower recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Financed SF Properties and Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Financed SF Properties and Collateral may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Financed SF Properties and Collateral, each Borrower agrees that liquidation of the Financed SF Properties and Collateral does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Financed SF Properties and Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate Administrative Agent to liquidate any Financed SF Properties and Collateral on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Financed SF Properties and Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day. Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Borrowers. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have.

(d) Administrative Agent may enforce its and each Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any defenses such Borrower might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Borrower also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) such Borrower might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, or from any other election of remedies. Each Borrower recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

82


(e) Without limiting the rights of Administrative Agent hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Administrative Agent for a Borrower’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Administrative Agent from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(f) Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Administrative Agent and a Borrower Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Financed SF Properties and Collateral against all of the Secured Obligations owed to Administrative Agent, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s right to recover any deficiency.

(g) In connection with the enforcement of any Mortgage Documents recorded after a Mortgage Event, the terms of the Mortgage Documents shall control over any contrary provisions set forth herein.

(h) No right or remedy herein conferred upon the Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy contained herein or in any instrument or document delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, and every such right or remedy contained herein and therein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, or otherwise may be exercised separately or in any combination.

(i) No course of dealing between any Borrower Party, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, or any failure or delay on any Lender or the Administrative Agent’s part in exercising any rights or remedies hereunder or under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender and no single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder.

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, any sales, use, excise, value-added, gross receipts (in the nature of a sales tax), services, consumption, and other similar transaction-based taxes, however designated, that are properly levied by any Governmental Authority upon or in respect of the exercise of rights and remedies by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement shall be deemed to be, for all purposes, an Advance.

 

83


Section 15. Indemnification and Expenses.

(a) Each Borrower agrees to hold Administrative Agent, each Lender, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent, and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fees, costs and expenses of any kind (including fees of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, negligence (or, in the case of the Calculation Agent and Paying Agent, gross negligence) or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Collateral, including SF Properties, which, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, fraud, negligence (or, in the case of the Calculation Agent and Paying Agent, gross negligence) or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, Borrowers will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expenses, losses or damages suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by a Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from such Borrower. Each Borrower also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Administrative Agent and Lenders’ rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. This Section 15(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) Borrowers agree to pay as and when billed by Administrative Agent all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including legal fees and expenses and an annual structured finance audit performed by a third party auditor. Borrowers agree to pay as and when billed by Administrative Agent all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including filing fees and all the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Administrative Agent and Lenders, which amounts with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby incurred prior to the date hereof shall be paid pursuant to Section 2(e)(viii)(B) in connection with the initial Advance hereunder. Borrowers agree to pay Administrative Agent all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to SF Property pledged by a Borrower to secure Advances under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 18 hereof.

 

84


(c) Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the Secured Obligations of Borrower from time to time to pay the Repayment Amount, the Facility Interest, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Borrowers.

Section 16. Property Management.

(a) Each Borrower shall at all times during the term of this Agreement and during which any Advance is outstanding, cause each SF Property to be managed by the Asset Manager under the applicable Asset Management Agreement or, only after an Asset Manager Event of Default, by such other Person as is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (having due regard for Borrower preference), such property management to be at all times conducted in strict accordance with those property management or sales practices of prudent institutions that (i) manage single family and 2-4 family residential homes for sale of the same type as such SF Property in the jurisdiction where the related SF Property is located, (ii) employ procedures intended to produce the highest possible net present value on the SF Properties for the related Borrower and Lenders, and (iii) exercise at least the same care, skill, attention, prudence, time and diligence that a prudent real estate manager acting in a like capacity would exercise managing similar properties giving due consideration to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 16(a) and Requirements of Law.

(b) OFFERPAD SPE BORROWER A, LLC shall establish and maintain the Operating Account with the Account Bank.

(c) Each Borrower shall deposit and remit all Income received by such Borrower on account of the Financed SF Properties in strict compliance with the provisions of Section 4(a) hereof.

(d) If a Borrower should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Asset Manager or any Subcontractor is in default of the property management provisions of the SPE Agreements or any related Subcontractor Agreement, respectively, such Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent. Following delivery such notice, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall cooperate in replacing Asset Manager or such Subcontractor with a new property manager or subcontractor acceptable to Administrative Agent.

(e) Back-Up Manager.

(i) The Back-Up Manager shall maintain current records and systems concerning the SF Properties in order to enable it to timely and efficiently assume the responsibilities of the Asset Manager in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement.

(ii) Following an Asset Manager Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to arrange for the delivery to the Back-Up Manager of all of the Property Documents, which shall contain sufficient data to permit the Back-Up Manager to assume the duties of the Asset Manager hereunder without delay.

(iii) Following an Asset Manager Event of Default, and if directed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Back-Up Manager shall use reasonable efforts to diligently complete the physical transfer of files from the terminated Asset Manager with the cooperation of such defaulting party. From and after the date physical

 

85


transfer is completed (the “Back-Up Manager Transfer Date”), the Administrative Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to direct the Back-Up Manager to manage the SF Properties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Diligence Agent Agreement and the Asset Management Agreements with all the rights and obligations of the Asset Manager and the Back-Up Manager, or following an Event of Default, such other agreement as may be entered into between the Administrative Agent and the Back-Up Manager and shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to any obligations of the defaulting party, arising or accruing prior to the Back-Up Manager Transfer Date. The Administrative Agent, if it determines in its reasonable discretion that enforcement rights and/or remedies are available to the Lenders against the terminated Asset Manager and it is prudent under the circumstances to enforce such rights, agree to enforce their rights under this Agreement against the terminated Asset Manager, including any rights they have to enforce each terminated Asset Manager’s obligation to fully cooperate in the orderly transfer and transition of management obligations and otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement. In the event that the Back-Up Manager discovers or becomes aware of any errors in any records or data of the terminated Asset Manager which impairs its ability to perform its duties hereunder, the Back-Up Manager shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such errors and shall, at the terminated Asset Manager’s expense and upon the Administrative Agent’s direction, undertake to correct or reconstruct such records or data.

(iv) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Back-Up Manager Transfer Date, the Asset Manager shall provide or cause to be provided to the Back-Up Manager on each Reporting Date, in electronic form, a complete data tape of the SF Properties and such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary, including all information necessary to determine the Asset Purchase Price, and shall make available to the Back-Up Manager a copy of the Periodic Remittance Report. In addition, the Asset Manager shall provide all other documents and materials as are commercially reasonably requested by the Back-Up Manager at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Back-Up Manager may perform an initial comprehensive data integrity review and a monthly review of this information to determine whether it provides adequate information to enable the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations hereunder as the Back-Up Manager. To the extent that the Back-Up Manager determines within ten (10) days of its receipt of such information that such information is inadequate for the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations as the Back-Up Manager, the Back-Up Manager will provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Asset Manager identifying any deficiencies in such information that do not enable the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations as the Back-Up Manager. The Asset Manager shall use its reasonable efforts to provide any such deficient information to the Back-Up Manager within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice from the Back-Up Manager.

(v) At the request of the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt from the Asset Manager, the Back-Up Manager shall, in order to understand the purpose of each data field (and the interrelationships among such data fields), review the form of Periodic Remittance Report, each in the form agreed to by the Asset Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Back-Up Manager. In such case,

 

86


provided the data in the Periodic Remittance Report are in a format readable by the Back-Up Manager, the Back-Up Manager shall create a set of conversion routines and database mapping programs, as necessary, that will enable the Back-Up Manager to (i) receive such data from the Asset Manager on a monthly basis and to ensure that the data is readable, and (ii) independently generate such Periodic Remittance Reports, as applicable, following the Back-Up Manager Transfer Date.

(vi) On a monthly basis, the Back-Up Manager shall (x) verify receipt of the Periodic Remittance Report required to be delivered by the Asset Manager, and (y) verify that such records and data are in a readable format.

(vii) The Back-Up Manager shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Back-Up Manager may cause all of the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement to be assumed by, and may assign its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to, with the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, a successor, upon its delivery to the Administrative Agent of the assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations and duties of the Back-Up Manager.

(xxiv) Other than with respect to any information that Paying Agent has an express duty hereunder to review, Paying Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter for purposes of this Agreement unless a Responsible Officer of Paying Agent (A) has actual knowledge thereof or (B) receives written notice with respect thereto.

(xxi) Borrower Parties hereby agree, in connection with an appointment of a successor calculation agent, to negotiate in good faith any modifications to this Agreement related to the rights and obligations of Calculation Agent which are commercially reasonably requested by such successor calculation agent; provided that, the effect of any such modifications shall not increase the obligations of any Borrower Party.

(xxii) Other than with respect to any information that Calculation Agent has an express duty hereunder to review, Calculation Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter for purposes of this Agreement unless a Responsible Officer of Calculation Agent (A) has actual knowledge thereof or (B) receives written notice with respect thereto.

Section 18. Assignability.

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Advance shall not be assigned by any Borrower without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Advance shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Each Lender, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower Representative and Calculation Agent, may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to any Affiliate of Lender without consent of the Borrowers or any other Person with prior written consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by such Lender and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall be considered reasonable for a Borrower to withhold its consent in connection with an assignment to a competitor of such Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, and (b) such Lender shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Each such Assignment and Acceptance shall be delivered to Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Borrower Parties and Calculation Agent shall continue to take directions solely from Lender unless otherwise notified by Administrative Agent in writing. Administrative Agent may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to the applicable Lender by Borrower Parties.

(b) Each Lender, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrower Representative, may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 6; provided, that no such restrictions shall apply with respect to any sale to any Affiliate of such Lender or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that such Lender shall act as agent for all purchasers, assignees and point of contact for Borrowers pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by such Lender, its intended purchasers and/or

 

99


assignees and Borrowers. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and amount of each participant’s interest under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 18, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to a Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Advances that has been furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of a Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

Section 19. Transfer Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each assignee or participant of a Lender, and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders, shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 20. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Advance as indebtedness of Borrower that is secured by the Collateral and that the Collateral is owned by Borrower in the absence of an Event of Default by a Borrower. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by a change in law occurring after the date hereof, a closing agreement with an applicable taxing authority, or a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 21. Set-Off.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Administrative Agent hereunder and by law, following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by all Requirements of Law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from a Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of its respective Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers. Administrative Agent agrees to notify Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by Administrative Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) Administrative Agent shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Administrative Agent determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Borrowers hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

100


Section 22. Survival. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by a Borrower receiving an Advance, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and other than as contemplated hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Advance was made. The obligations of Borrowers under Section 15 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 23. Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and received (i) when sent by telecopy, upon receipt of an electronically generated confirmation of receipt by the addressee, or delivered personally or (ii) upon transmission of email provided no electronic notice of non-delivery is received by the sender or (iii) on the first (1st) Business Day after being sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or (iv) on the third (3rd) Business Day after being sent by registered or certified U.S. mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the parties at the telecopy number, email address or street address set forth in the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party hereto. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

Section 24. Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding among Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for loan transactions involving Financed SF Properties. By acceptance of this Agreement, Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Borrower acknowledges that it has not made, and is not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

(b) Each Lender and each Borrower acknowledges that, and has entered hereinto and Lender will make each Advance hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Advances made by Lenders hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Advances made by Lenders hereunder. Accordingly, each Lender and each Borrower agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Advance, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Advances hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Advance against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Advance hereunder; (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Advance shall be deemed to have been made in

 

101


consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Advances hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iv) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

Section 26. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER, BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE, EACH BORROWER, CALCULATION AGENT AND PAYING AGENT EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(b) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION WHATSOEVER WHETHER OR NOT INVOLVING ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH WAIVED DAMAGES ARE BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT, COMMON LAW OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OF ACTION. NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED BY IT THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FACILITY DOCUMENT.

(c) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

Section 27. No Waivers, etc. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 28. Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lenders have made the Advances to such Borrower upon, among other things, the security of its collective interest in the Financed SF Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Financed SF Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Financed SF Property taken separately. Each Borrower agrees that the Mortgages, if any, are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages, if any, shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages, if any; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage, if any; (iii) each Mortgage, if any, shall constitute security as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Financed SF Properties as security; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, such Borrower’s partners or members and of the Financed SF Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, if any, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent under the Facility Documents to a sale of the Financed SF Properties for the collection of the Secured Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Financed SF Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, if any, any equitable right otherwise available to such

 

103


Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Financed SF Properties or require Administrative Agent to exhaust its remedies against any Financed SF Property or any combination of the Financed SF Properties before proceeding against any other Financed SF Property or combination of Financed SF Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorizes, at the option of Administrative Agent the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Financed SF Properties.

Section 29. Confidentiality.

(a) Each Lender, Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that all Borrower Confidential Information, and each Borrower, each Lender and Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Terms, shall be kept confidential by the party receiving such information (the “Recipient”) and shall not be divulged to any Person without the prior written consent of the party providing such information (the “Disclosing Party”) except to the extent that (i) it is necessary to disclose to Recipient’s Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, legal counsel, accountants, auditors, or taxing authorities, or, in the case of a Borrower, its lenders or its Affiliates’ lenders (collectively, “Representatives”), (ii) a Borrower may disclose any Confidential Term to an investor or potential investor of any Borrower-Related Party or its lenders; provided, that, such investor, potential investor or lender executes a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with such Borrower-Related Party with respect to the Confidential Terms; (iii) Recipient is requested or required by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies, self-regulatory organizations with jurisdiction, bank examiners, or pursuant to legal proceedings (including, without limitation, orders, subpoenas or discovery requests), or other governmental or regulatory process, (iv) the Confidential Terms were known by Recipient or its Representatives prior to being furnished under this Agreement, (v) the Confidential Terms were provided to Recipient or its Representatives by a third party not known to Recipient at the time of disclosure to be subject to a duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party, (vi) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, or (vii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Administrative Agent determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Collateral or otherwise enforce or exercise Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, a Borrower or Lender (or any of its Representatives) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Advances, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Advances, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment.

104


(the “GLB Act”), and Borrowers, each Lender, Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent agree to maintain such nonpublic personal information that such party receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal, state and local privacy and data protection laws.

Each Borrower, each Lender, Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent shall, at a minimum, establish and maintain such data security program as is necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts 30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and 570. Upon reasonable request from a party hereto, each Borrower, Borrower Representative, each Lender, Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent shall, subject to the terms of its respective information security policies, cooperate with the requesting party in its efforts to confirm that each Borrower, Borrower Representative, each Lender, Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent, as applicable, has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section 30. This may include Administrative Agent’s, Calculation Agent’s, Paying Agent’s and any Lender’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of each party hereto, subject to the terms of such party’s information security policies. Each Borrower, Borrower Representative, each Lender, Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent shall notify, to the extent permissible by applicable law, the applicable party immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Administrative Agent, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent, any Borrower, Borrower Representative, any Lender or any of its respective Affiliates, as applicable, provided directly to such party.

(a) Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise all such powers as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 33 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and no Borrower shall any have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) in accordance with the rights and powers that are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, (ii) with the consent or at the request of Lenders, or (iii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Default is given to Administrative Agent by a Borrower or an Affiliate thereof or a Lender.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

(d) Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(e) Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Facility Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 34 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

109


(f) Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders, Borrower Representative, Calculation Agent and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers, Borrower Representative, Calculation Agent and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders under any of the Facility Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for in this Section 33(f). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Facility Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 33(f)). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, the provisions of this Section 34 and Section 15 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(g) Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(h) Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party or Guarantor, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower Party or Guarantor) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise;

 

110


(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for reimbursement under Section 15) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under the Facility Documents.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(i) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 15 to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Affiliate, as the case may be, such Lender’s proportionate share (determined with respect to the outstanding principal balance of the Advances made by such Lender as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Affiliate of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(j) Exclusive Right to Enforce Rights and Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Facility Documents against Borrower Parties, Guarantor or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with the Facility Documents for the benefit of all Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 21 or (iii) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower Party or Guarantor under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, then (A) Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14 and (B) any Lender may, with the consent of the other Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by each other Lender.

 

111


(k) Indemnification. Lenders hereby agree to indemnify Administrative Agent, its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and the parent company or holding company that controls such Person (the “Indemnified Agent Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable costs, expenses or disbursements or any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnified Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents; provided that Lenders shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Agent Party to the extent of any amounts resulting from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Agent Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 33(k), Lenders to reimburse Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the consummation, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advance in respect of rights or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

Section 34. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable to Lenders and Administrative Agent for the full, complete and punctual performance and satisfaction of all obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement. Accordingly, each Borrower waives any and all notice of creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Lenders and Administrative Agent upon such Borrower’s joint and several liability. Each Borrower waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon such Borrower with respect to the Secured Obligations. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Borrower, Lenders and Administrative Agent may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies hereunder against any Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Lenders or Administrative Agent to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from such Borrower or any such other Person to realize upon any such collateral security or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of such Borrower or any such other Person or any such collateral security, or right of offset, shall not relieve such Borrower of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Lenders and Administrative Agent against such Borrower.
