Initial Loan The obligation of the Lender to make its initial Loan hereunder is subject to the satisfaction, immediately prior to or concurrently with the making of such Loan, of the condition precedent that the Lender shall have received all of the following items, each of which shall be satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel in form and substance:
Bridge Loan (a) If the Bridge Loan (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) has not been repaid in full on or prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Repayment Option Date”), then, on the Repayment Option Date (or the first Business Day thereafter to the extent the Repayment Option Date does not fall on a Business Day), and not thereafter, Dynegy may, or may cause any of its Controlled Affiliates to, contribute to the Company an amount up to the Option Bridge Loan Amount, in exchange for Units at the price per Unit as of the date of this Agreement (such transaction, the “Dynegy Repayment Option”), and the Company shall use the proceeds from such contribution to partially repay the Bridge Loan.
(b) If the Bridge Loan (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) has not been repaid in full and Dynegy does not exercise the Dynegy Repayment Option in full on the Repayment Option Date (or the first Business Day thereafter to the extent the Repayment Option Date does not fall on a Business Day), at any time after the Repayment Option Date, ECP may, or may cause the lender under the Bridge Loan to, convert all or any portion of the then Outstanding Bridge Loan Amount (all or such portion thereof, the “Conversion Amount”) into the number of Units equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Multiple, divided by (ii) the price per Unit as of the date of this Agreement, and such Conversion Amount shall be deemed repaid in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement.
(c) If Dynegy exercises the Dynegy Repayment Option in full, on the Repayment Option Date, ECP shall, or shall cause the lender under the Bridge Loan to, convert the remaining Outstanding Bridge Loan Amount into Units at the price per Unit as of the date of this Agreement, and such converted amount shall be deemed repaid in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement.
(d) None of the terms or procedures set forth in Section 4.02 shall apply to this Section 4.11. The Board shall take all necessary action to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.11, including authorizing and issuing the Units in respect of any Conversion Amount or in respect of a conversion pursuant to Section 4.11(a) or Section 4.11(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.06(c), no vote of the Board shall be required to effectuate the issuance of any Units pursuant to this Section 4.11.
Term Loan (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make an advance of its Pro Rata Term Share of the Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date, and from the Closing Date to the Term Loan Maturity Date, convert and continue Segments from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. The principal amount of each Segment of the Term Loan outstanding hereunder from time to time shall bear interest and the Term Loan shall be repayable as herein provided. No amount of the Term Loan repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be reborrowed hereunder, and no subsequent advance under the Term Loan Facility shall be allowed after the initial such advance of the Term Loan on the Closing Date. Segments of the Term Loan may be Base Rate Segments or Eurodollar Rate Segments at the Borrower’s election, as provided herein.
(b) Not later than 1:00 P.M. New York time, on the Closing Date, each Term Loan Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of its Pro Rata Term Share of the Term Loan available by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent. Such wire transfer shall be directed to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and shall be in the form of same day funds in Dollars. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the satisfaction of all applicable conditions in Sections 5.01 and 5.02, be made available to the Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof as shall be directed by the Responsible Officer of the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The initial Borrowing of the Term Loan may be a Eurodollar Rate Segment, a Base Rate Segment, or both; provided that if the Borrower desires that any portion of the initial Borrowing of the Term Loan is advanced as a Eurodollar Rate Segment, the Administrative Agent shall make such Borrowing as a Eurodollar Rate Segment only if, not later than three Business Days prior to the date that is then anticipated to be the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent has received from the Borrower a Term Loan Interest Rate Selection Notice with respect thereto, together with the Borrower’s written acknowledgement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the provisions of Section 4.05 hereof shall apply to any failure by the Borrower to borrow on the date set forth in such Term Loan Interest Rate Selection notice any or all of the amounts specified in such Term Loan Interest Rate Selection Notice.
LOANS, ADVANCES, INVESTMENTS Make any loans or advances to or investments in any person or entity, except any of the foregoing existing as of, and disclosed to Bank prior to, the date hereof.
Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. RCE, on behalf of itself or any other Borrower, shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than: (i) 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the date on which RCE on behalf of the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) at least three Business Days before the date on which RCE, on behalf of the Borrowers, requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Term Loans which shall be the Fixed Rate Loan, and (iii) 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date RCE on behalf of the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, RCE, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (except with respect to the Fixed Rate Loan) from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement contained in Section 1.5 for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, RCE, on behalf of the applicable Borrower, may (subject to the notice requirement set forth herein) continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower, may (subject to the notice requirement set forth herein) convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower. RCE, on behalf of itself or the applicable Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notices of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans or of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) at least three Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) there shall be no Fixed Rate Loans available hereunder other than the $30,000,000 Borrowing of Term Loans advanced on the Closing Date and (ii) the Borrowers shall have no right to convert all of any portion of such Fixed Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative of RCE without the necessity of independent investigation and, in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
Servicing of the Mortgage Loan (a) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, subject in each case to the specific terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement.
(b) Prior to the closing of a Lead Securitization, all servicing and other decisions regarding the Mortgage Loan shall be made: (i) with respect to matters set forth on Exhibit D hereto, by unanimous consent of the Holders and (ii) with respect to all other matters, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Servicing Agreement (provided that any conflict between the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement), by the Directing Holder. Each PSA shall contain terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (A) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of any Trust Fund, (B) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (C) requested by the Rating Agencies rating any Securitization.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents, effective upon the Lead Securitization, to the appointment of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor and the appointment of the Special Servicer by the Directing Holder and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. Each Holder hereby appoints, effective upon the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Holders as set forth herein and in such Servicing Agreement).
(d) If, at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (and, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization, a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization shall be obtained) and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained), the Lead Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect for the Lead Note, as if such Servicing Agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified Servicer appointed by the Lead Note Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect.
Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) or 8.04 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:
(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted to) Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and
(b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead. If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan In the case of a Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, a Mortgage Loan that, on the date of such substitution, (i) has an outstanding Stated Principal Balance (or in the case of a substitution of more than one mortgage loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, an aggregate Stated Principal Balance), after application of all Scheduled Payments due during or prior to the month of substitution, not in excess of, and not more than 5% less than, the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Deleted Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in the calendar month during which the substitution occurs, (ii) has a Mortgage Rate not less than, and not more than 0.50% higher than, the Mortgage Rate on the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (iii) if applicable, has a maximum Mortgage Rate not less than the maximum Mortgage Rate on the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (iv) has a minimum Mortgage Rate not less than the minimum Mortgage Rate of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (v) has a gross margin equal to or greater than the gross margin of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (vi) has a next adjustment date not later than the next adjustment date on the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (vii) has the same Due Date as the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (viii) has a remaining stated term to maturity not longer than 18 months and not more than 18 months shorter than the remaining stated term to maturity of the related Deleted Mortgage Loan, (ix) is current as of the date of substitution, (x) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio as of the date of substitution equal to or lower than the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Deleted Mortgage Loan as of such date, (xi) has been underwritten by the Seller in accordance with the same underwriting criteria and guidelines as the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (xii) has a risk grading determined by the Seller at least equal to the risk grading assigned on the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (xiii) is secured by the same property type as the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (xiv) conforms to each representation and warranty applicable to the Deleted Mortgage Loan made in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (xv) has the same first lien position as the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (xvi) is covered by a primary mortgage insurance policy if the Deleted Mortgage Loan was so covered, (xvii) contains provisions covering the payment of Prepayment Premium by the Mortgager for early prepayment of the Mortgage Loan at least as favorable to the Trust as the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (xviii) has a maturity date not later than the maturity date of the latest maturing Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage Pool as of the Closing Date, (xix) has the same Mortgage Index as the Deleted Mortgage Loan, (xx) if originated on or after November 27, 2003, is not a “high cost” loan subject to the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2003 and (xxi) if originated on or after January 1, 2004 is not a “high-cost” loan subject to the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act. In the event that one or more mortgage loans are substituted for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the amounts described in clause (i) hereof shall be determined on the basis of aggregate Stated Principal Balances, the Mortgage Rates described in clause (ii) hereof shall be determined on the basis of weighted average Mortgage Rates, the risk gradings described in clause (xii) hereof shall be satisfied as to each such mortgage loan, the terms described in clause (viii) hereof shall be determined on the basis of weighted average remaining term to maturity, the Loan-to-Value Ratios described in clause (x) hereof shall be satisfied as to each such mortgage loan and, except to the extent otherwise provided in this sentence, the representations and warranties described in clause (xiv) hereof must be satisfied as to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or in the aggregate, as the case may be.
Existing Loan Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that the Existing Loan is the only indebtedness secured by the Property and that the information contained on Exhibit H is true, correct and complete in all material respects. To Seller’s Knowledge, neither Seller nor any guarantor is in default or breach of any provisions of the documents evidencing the Existing Loan and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists which but for the passage of time would be a default under the Existing Loan. At Closing, Buyer shall accept the conveyance of the Property subject to the Existing Loan, including, without limitation, all liens securing its payment. If this Contract is still pending, by no later than fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause Existing Lender to deliver to Buyer (or for Seller to deliver to Buyer) a complete assumption and application, and thereafter Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, during the pendency of this Contract use diligent, commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with Seller, to facilitate Buyer’s assumption of the Existing Loan, including, without limitation, promptly furnishing and/or paying for all items required by the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer to process Buyer’s application and pay all costs required by the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer (such costs and all other costs and expenses of the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer to consider, investigate, process, approve and document the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including all application, underwriting, legal, rating agency and assumption fees, being sometimes collectively referred to as the “Assumption Costs”); provided, however, in no event shall the Assumption Costs include any legal fees of Seller’s own counsel or legal fees of Existing Lender’s counsel necessitated by Seller’s negotiation of the Assumption Documents or necessitated by Seller’s pursuit of an exchange contemplated by Section 16.14 hereof. In addition, any assumption fee based solely on the amount of the Existing Loan need not be paid until Closing. Such efforts by Buyer shall include causing Buyer’s rights under this Contract to be assigned by no later than Closing to a single purpose entity or other special purpose entity as required by the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer and causing an appropriate guarantor (“New Guarantor”) to become a guarantor of any non-recourse carveouts and environmental indemnitees of the Existing Loan in place and stead of the principals of Seller from and after the Closing Date. If the Assumption Documents require that Buyer or New Guarantor give representations or warranties to Existing Lender with respect to matters affecting the Property prior to Closing, Seller and such principals of Seller currently liable therefor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and New Guarantor from all claims from Existing Lender and all damages, costs and expenses owed to Existing Lender as a result of a breach thereof, provided that the representations and warranties so made are limited to reasonable matters affecting the Property prior to Closing. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.4, Buyer, and not Seller, shall be responsible for all costs, fees and expenses incurred or payable as a result of the Assumption Costs and complying with the requirements of the Existing Loan for an assumption, and Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from all of said costs, fees and expenses. Buyer’s foregoing indemnity regarding the Assumption Costs shall survive Closing and any termination of this Contract. The liens, assignments and security interests of the Existing Loan shall each be Permitted Exceptions (as shall be the Assumption Document to be executed at Closing).
