(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance 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 Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR hereunder;
(iii) shall impose on Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender or any company Controlling Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall, from time to time, upon receipt of prior written notice of such fact and a reasonably detailed description of the circumstances, either (a) promptly pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, or (b) prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, including all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, but without any Exit Fee.
(b) If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any company Controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital to be held by Lender or such company with respect to the Loan or reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder by an amount deemed by Lender to be material (taking into consideration Lender’s or such company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly, upon notice from Lender, either (a) pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such reduction, or (b) prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, including all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, but without any Exit Fee.
(c) If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
2.09 Taxes.
(a) All amounts payable by any Loan Party to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be paid free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any Taxes, unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is required by law. In that event, such Loan
22
Party shall timely pay such withholding or deduction to the relevant Governmental Authority and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such Loan Party shall pay such additional amounts (for purposes of this Section 2.09, the “Additional Amounts”) as will result in the net amounts received by Lender (after taking account of such withholding or deduction, including such withholdings or deductions applicable to Additional Amounts) being equal to such amounts as would have been received by Lender had no such Tax been required to be withheld or deducted. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and pay to Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.09(a)) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.09(a), such Loan Party shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(b) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.09(c) and 2.09(d) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or before the date hereof, on or before the date such Person becomes a party to this Loan Agreement or a participant, as applicable, and at the reasonable request of Borrower, Lender and each assignee of Lender will provide to Borrower two copies of, as applicable, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form X-0, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX, or W-8IMY (or successor form) (with applicable attachments, including, in the case of a Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate reasonably satisfactory to Borrower to the effect that such Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”)). In addition, Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
23
Lender under this Loan Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. The initial Lender shall provide to Borrower a properly executed IRS Form W-9, dated on or before the Closing Date, evidencing a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Tax from amounts payable by Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents pursuant to applicable laws in effect on the Closing Date. Borrower shall provide to Lender a properly executed IRS Form W-9 or other applicable forms as described by the IRS, dated on or before the Closing Date, evidencing a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Tax from amounts payable by Lender to Borrower under the Loan Documents pursuant to applicable laws in effect on the Closing Date. Each party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or this Section 2.09(c), as applicable, expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the other party in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan 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 Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its 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. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Loan Agreement.
(e) If any Lender requests Borrower to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to an Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.09, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office 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 this Section 2.09 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. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(f) 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 2.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09), 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
24
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 (f) (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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.09 shall survive any assignment of rights by Lender, or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of this Loan Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loan by Borrower.
2.10 Breakage Indemnity.
Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date (other than a mandatory prepayment of the Loan by Borrower under Sections 2.08(a) or 2.08(b), except to the extent that the Underlying Borrower is paying Underlying Prepayment Consideration in connection with the related prepayment of the Underlying Loan) and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal of the Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise); provided, however, that any amounts due to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be offset by, and not in addition to, any Underlying Prepayment Consideration received by Lender pursuant to Section 3.04 that are attributable to breakage fees paid by the Underlying Borrower. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.11, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Prepayment Consideration which may be applicable to such prepayment under Section 2.05. Any amounts paid from Borrower to Lender under the second (2nd) sentence of Section 2.06 will be applied to amounts due from Borrower under this Section 2.11.
2.11 Exit Fee. Upon any prepayment of the principal balance of the Loan, in whole or in part, on or prior to the Payment Date in January 2017, including, without limitation, in connection with a Permitted Transfer, but excluding (i) a mandatory prepayment in connection with a principal prepayment on the Asset made by the Underlying Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05, (ii) any prepayment made during the continuance of an Underlying Loan Event of Default, (iii) any prepayment made in connection with a Future Funding Paydown, (iv) any CAE Cure Payment, or (v) any prepayment made pursuant to Requirements of Law or changes therein in accordance with Section 2.08, Borrower shall be required to pay the Exit Fee to Lender on the date of such prepayment.
25
2.12 Extension Options. Borrowers shall have one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the term of this Loan Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Extension Term”) from the Stated Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:
(a) Borrower provides Lender with written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Option not later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date; provided, however, that if Borrower shall receive notice of the exercise of the extension of the Underlying Loan Maturity Date from the Underlying Borrower (or Servicer, Co-Lender Agent or other Person) less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, then Borrower shall deliver notice of its exercise of the Extension Option within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of notice with respect to the Underlying Loan (but in no event shall Borrower deliver its notice less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Stated Maturity Date);
(b) no (i) monetary or material non-monetary Default or (ii) Event of Default exists at the time such request is made and on the Stated Maturity Date; and
(c) Underlying Borrower shall have extended the term of the Underlying Loan for the extension term thereof and shall have satisfied all of the conditions to such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Loan Agreement in all material respects, including without limitation, an extension of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as of the date of Borrower’s exercise of the Extension Option, Initial Lender or its Affiliate holds a Controlling Interest in the Loan and an Affiliate of Initial Lender is a co-lender or participant with respect to the Underlying Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement or Participation Agreement and such Affiliate agrees in writing to the exercise of the extension term of the Underlying Loan notwithstanding that the conditions under clause (c) are not satisfied, and provided that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) are satisfied, then the term of the Loan shall be similarly extended.
2.13 Additional Extension. In the event that (a) the Underlying Loan is not repaid in full by Underlying Borrower on the Underlying Loan Maturity Date (including any maturity date by virtue of acceleration thereof) or (b) an Underlying Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing for one hundred and twenty (120) days, the Maturity Date of the Loan may, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, be accelerated (if applicable) to, if as a result of the event described in (a) above, the Underlying Loan Maturity Date or, if as a result of the event described in (b) above, the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such Underlying Loan Event of Default (whether or not the Underlying Loan Maturity Date has been accelerated); provided, however, that so long as (i) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default then exists (other than an Event of Default solely arising from the applicable Underlying Loan Event of Default as previously described), and (ii) no Control Appraisal Event then exists, then the Maturity Date of the Loan shall automatically extend for six (6) months to permit Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) to promptly commence and diligently pursue (A) a taking of title
26
to the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, an exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof (in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.18) or (B) a resolution of the Underlying Loan (e.g., a restructuring or sale thereof) approved in writing by Lender in accordance with this Loan Agreement (an “Approved Underlying Loan Resolution”), provided that Borrower shall provide Lender with a satisfactory Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Loan (in the event Borrower does not then have the benefit of interest rate protection acceptable to Lender in its sole good faith discretion under the Underlying Loan) within ten (10) days of the commencement of such six (6) month period. If such six (6) month period is not sufficient to consummate such foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof and Lender is satisfied in its reasonable discretion that Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) has promptly commenced and is diligently prosecuting efforts to consummate same, then Lender shall further extend the Maturity Date of the Loan for an additional period of six (6) months to consummate such foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof. It is acknowledged and agreed that the additional six (6) month period under clause (A) of the foregoing sentence shall only be made available (subject to satisfaction of the above conditions) to permit Borrower (or Underlying Lender, Co-Lender Agent or Servicer on its behalf) to consummate a foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or deed-in-lieu thereof with respect to the Mortgaged Property but shall not extend the initial six (6) month period under clause (B) with respect to consummation of an Approved Underlying Loan Resolution.
Upon the consummation of:
(a) a transfer to an REO Owner of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof in accordance with the foregoing and the REO Requirements, provided that: (w) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default then exists, (x) Borrower provides Lender with a satisfactory Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Loan (in the event Borrower does not then have the benefit of interest rate protection acceptable to Lender in its sole good faith discretion under the Underlying Loan), (y) no Control Appraisal Event then exists and (z) Borrower (or REO Owner) shall have cured all material non-monetary Underlying Events of Default that are reasonably susceptible to cure prior to the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to REO Owner (or with respect to any material non-monetary Underlying Event of Default that is not reasonably susceptible to cure prior to the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to REO Owner, Borrower (or REO Owner) shall promptly commence such cure after title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to REO Owner and shall diligently prosecute such cure to completion), Lender shall further extend the Maturity Date of the Loan to the later to occur of (i) one (1) year from the consummation of such transfer or (ii) the final Underlying Loan Maturity Date (as same may be extended pursuant to any extension terms set forth in the Underlying Loan Documents) (the “Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date”); provided, however, that any extension of the Maturity Date of the Loan to the Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date under clause (a)(ii) shall be subject to Borrower’s (or REO Owner’s) satisfaction of each of the conditions to the exercise of any applicable extension terms as set forth in the Underlying Loan; provided, further, that if the conditions precedent to the exercise of such extension terms in the Underlying Loan are not capable of being satisfied prior to REO Owner taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and the time period between the date of the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such REO Owner and the scheduled Underlying Loan Maturity Date is not sufficient to cause such conditions to be satisfied, then REO Owner shall be given such additional period (not to exceed sixty (60) days from the date of transfer of the Mortgaged Property) as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy such conditions; or
27
(b) an Approved Underlying Loan Resolution (other than a sale of the Underlying Loan) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13 and Section 7.18, as applicable, provided that: (x) no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default then exists, (y) Borrower provides Lender with a satisfactory Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Loan (in the event Borrower does not then have the benefit of interest rate protection acceptable to Lender in its sole good faith discretion under the Underlying Loan), and (z) no Control Appraisal Event then exists, Lender shall further extend the Maturity Date of the Loan to the later to occur of (i) one (1) year from the consummation of such Approved Underlying Loan Resolution or (ii) the earlier to occur of (A) the Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date and (B) the final maturity date of the Underlying Loan, pursuant to the terms of the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution; provided, however, that any extension of the Maturity Date of the Loan to the Original Underlying Extended Maturity Date or the final maturity date of the Underlying Loan, pursuant to the terms of the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution, if applicable, pursuant to the foregoing, shall be subject to Underlying Borrower’s satisfaction of each of the conditions to the exercise of any applicable extension terms as set forth in the Underlying Loan Documents (as such conditions may have been amended pursuant to any Approved Underlying Loan Resolution).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that Lender is a Co-Lender Affiliate and the applicable Affiliate of Lender that is the noteholder, co-lender or participant with respect to the Underlying Loan agrees in writing to any restructuring or sale of the Underlying Loan or REO Property pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement or Participation Agreement, then Lender shall be deemed to have approved such restructuring or sale hereunder and same shall be deemed to be an Approved Underlying Loan Resolution and, if applicable, the Maturity Date of the Loan shall be extended to the final maturity date pursuant to the terms of the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution (as same may be extended pursuant to any extension terms set forth in the Approved Underlying Loan Resolution subject to Underlying Borrower’s satisfaction of each of the conditions to the exercise thereof); and (ii) none of Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate thereof shall foreclose (or approve a foreclosure) upon or otherwise acquire title (or approve such acquisition) to the Mortgaged Property without satisfying the REO Requirements in accordance with Section 7.18.
SECTION 3 Payments; Computations; Cash Management Arrangements.
3.01 Payments.
(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the Note, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender at an account designated by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Payment Date (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.
28
(b) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Loan Agreement or the Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then the due date of such payment shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
3.02 Computations. Interest on the Loan shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period.
3.03 Cash Management Arrangements. The Underlying Loan Documents provide, or Borrower or Servicer (or Co-Lender Agent) has delivered a notice to the Underlying Borrower which provides, that Underlying Borrower shall pay all amounts payable under the Underlying Loan to an account of the Servicer. Borrower shall cause the Servicer to enter into a Servicer Notice and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which provides, inter alia, that the Servicer shall deposit all Available Income from the Asset into an account (the “Deposit Account”) maintained by Lender at DBTCA (in such capacity, or any successor depository bank appointed by Lender, the “Deposit Bank”), pursuant to that certain Deposit Account Agreement, to be entered into after the date hereof, among Borrower, Lender and the Deposit Bank (as amended, modified and/or restated from time to time, the “Deposit Account Agreement”), and to be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Loan Agreement and the Deposit Account Agreement. If a Servicer forwards any Available Income with respect to the Asset to Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate thereof rather than directly to the Deposit Account, Borrower shall (i) redeliver an executed copy of the Servicer Notice and Agreement to the applicable Servicer, and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to forward such amounts directly to the Deposit Account, (ii) hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Lender and (iii) immediately deposit in the Deposit Account any such amounts. The Deposit Account and any subaccount thereof will be under the sole dominion and control of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
3.04 Cash Flow Allocations.
(a) So long as no Underlying Loan Event of Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, all Available Income received by the Deposit Bank in respect of the Asset shall be applied by the Deposit Bank on each Payment Date (or in the case of Principal Paydowns or Payoffs and Underlying Prepayment Consideration received with respect to the Asset, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) in the following order of priority:

(ii) | second, to remit to Lender (A) an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest due on the Loan at the Interest Rate outstanding as of such Payment Date together with (B) Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the Spread Ratio of any Underlying Excess Spread received with respect to the Asset; |
29
(iii) | third, from any Principal Paydown or Payoff on the Asset, to remit to Lender an amount equal to: (A) if such principal payment is a Payoff or arises from a casualty or condemnation affecting the Mortgaged Property, 100% of such principal payment on the Asset until the principal balance of the Loan has been reduced to zero and (B) if such principal payment is not a Payoff and does not arise from a casualty or condemnation affecting the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such principal payment on the Asset; |
(iv) | fourth, from any Underlying Prepayment Consideration received with respect to the Asset, to Lender the amount of Prepayment Consideration due to Lender pursuant to Section 2.05; |
(v) | fifth; from any extension fees or exit fees received with respect to the Asset, to Lender an amount equal to Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such extension fees or exit fees; and |
(vi) | sixth, to remit to Borrower, the remainder, if any (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that if there is no applicable Underlying Prepayment Consideration pursuant to subclause (iv) above, or extension fees or exit fees pursuant to subclause (v) above, the remainder of the Available Income received shall be remitted to Borrower following remittance to Lender under subclause (iii) above). |
(b) If an Underlying Loan Event of Default exists but no Event of Default shall be continuing, all Available Income received by the Deposit Bank in respect of the Asset shall be applied by the Deposit Bank on each Payment Date (or in the case of Principal Paydowns or Payoffs and Underlying Prepayment Consideration received with respect to the Asset, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) in the following order of priority:
(i) | first, to remit to (A) Lender on account of any unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and any and all other amounts due from Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (B) Loan Servicer the Loan Servicing Fees due for such month (and any unpaid Loan Servicing Fees for any prior months); |
(ii) | second, to remit to Lender (A) an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan at the Interest Rate outstanding as of such Payment Date together with (B) Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the Spread Ratio of any Underlying Excess Spread received with respect to the Asset; |
(iii) | third, to Lender in payment of the principal balance of the Loan until the principal balance of the Loan has been reduced to zero; |
30
(iv) | fourth, to Borrower the remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Asset at the regular (non-default) interest rate on the Asset; |
(v) | fifth, to Borrower the difference between (A) the then unpaid principal balance of the Asset and (B) the principal amount of the Loan paid to Lender under clause (iii) above; |
(vi) | sixth, to Lender its Pro Rata Percentage of any default interest and/or late charges paid by the Underlying Borrower with respect to the Asset |
(vii) | seventh, from any Underlying Prepayment Consideration received with respect to the Asset, to Lender the amount of Prepayment Consideration due to Lender pursuant to Section 2.05; and |
(viii) | eighth, to remit to Borrower, the remainder, if any. |
(c) If an Event of Default shall be continuing, all Available Income received by the Deposit Bank in respect of the Asset shall be applied by the Deposit Bank on the next Business Day after receipt in the following order of priority:
(i) | first, to remit to (A) Lender on account of any unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and any and all other amounts due from Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (B) Loan Servicer any unpaid Loan Servicing Fees; |
(ii) | second, to remit to Lender (A) an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan at the Interest Rate (including interest at the Default Rate and any late charges, if applicable) outstanding as of such Payment Date together with (B) Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage multiplied by the Spread Ratio of any Underlying Excess Spread received with respect to the Asset; |
(iii) | third, to Lender in payment of the principal balance of the Loan until the principal balance of the Loan has been reduced to zero together with any Exit Fee payable in connection therewith; and |
(iv) | fourth, to remit to Borrower, the remainder, if any. |
(d) Amounts to be remitted to Borrower under Sections 3.04(a)-(c) above shall be remitted to Borrower’s then current operating account. Borrower’s current operating account is set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
(e) The failure of Borrower to make any of the payments required to be made to Lender under Sections 3.04(a)-(c) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Loan Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to release such funds to Lender (provided that Borrower shall not have caused, directly or indirectly, such failure), shall not constitute an Event of Default.
31
(f) All Underlying Loan Reserves for the Underlying Loan must be held with the applicable Servicer in accordance with Section 11.15 in segregated accounts held for the benefit of Borrower (or the Underlying Lender, as applicable) or otherwise subject to control agreements approved by the Lender. In the event that no Servicer holds any such Underlying Loan Reserves for the Underlying Loan and Borrower would otherwise hold the Underlying Loan Reserves directly, it shall forward such Underlying Loan Reserves to the Deposit Account to be held and applied in accordance with the Underlying Loan Documents.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Loan Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby. Borrower also hereby authorizes Lender to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4.03 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Borrower shall not change its name, state of organization, identity or organizational structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Collateral unless it shall have given Lender at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Lender all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Lender shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Lender to continue its perfected status in the Collateral with the same or better priority.
4.04 Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender 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 Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in Lender’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Loan Agreement, and during the continuance of an Event of
33
Default, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Loan Agreement, and, for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, at law and in equity. 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.
(b) Borrower also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c) The powers conferred on Lender are solely to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for Lender’s (or Lender’s officers’, directors’ or employees’) own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
4.05 Performance by Lender of Borrower’s Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents after the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period and Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the out-of-pocket expenses of Lender actually incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.
4.06 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Borrower be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender (whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Loan Documents, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Lender against, the Secured Obligations (in each case, whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.
4.07 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Loan Agreement, any Loan Document and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of
34
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell (on a servicing released basis, at Lender’s option), assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral and or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender (or Lender’s officers, directors or employees). If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.03(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.
4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Lender’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise.
4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
35
4.10 Release of Security Interest. Promptly after irrevocable payment in full to Lender of all Secured Obligations, Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral; provided that if any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or a trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, this Loan Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as though such payments had not been made until such time as such payments have been indefeasibly made. Upon the release of the security interest in the Asset pursuant to this Section, Lender shall promptly release to Borrower the Asset Files and execute, acknowledge and deliver to Borrower any and all documents, instruments and agreements necessary to release all security interests in the Collateral.

In the event that, immediately prior to the transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to the REO Owner, Borrower shall hold 100% of the Underlying Loan, then in addition to delivery of a pledge agreement with respect to the REO Owner Equity and
50
execution and delivery of mezzanine loan documents or amendments and restatements of the Loan Documents and other documents reflecting a mezzanine loan structure as provided above, in addition to the other applicable REO Requirements above, Borrower shall be required to satisfy the following conditions in connection with any such foreclosure or exercise of remedies: (x) Borrower (or REO Owner) shall have executed and delivered to Lender a first priority mortgage on the REO Property, (y) Lender shall have received a lender’s mortgage title insurance policy, a UCC insurance policy and a mezzanine endorsement to Borrower’s owner’s title insurance policy, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and in amounts to be determined by Lender but in no event less than the principal amount of the Loan and (z) the Loan Documents will be modified, pursuant to amendments and/or restatements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, to incorporate applicable representations and covenants from the applicable Underlying Loan Documents to reflect the conversion of the Loan from a “loan on loan” structure to a mortgage loan secured directly by the REO Property.

(b) Lender has no fiduciary relationship to Borrower, and the relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no joint venture exists between Lender and Borrower.
11.13 Hypothecation and Pledge of Collateral. Subject to the rights of Obligors under the Underlying Loan Documents and the rights of Borrower hereunder and in any other Loan Document, Lender shall have free and unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Loan Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Collateral. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to segregate any Collateral delivered to Lender by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall be obligated to provide for the return of the Collateral to Borrower upon payment in full of the obligations under the Loan.
57
11.14 Assignments; Participations.
(a) Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may assign or transfer all or any of its rights or obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall give Borrower notice of any such assignment or transfer within five (5) Business Days after the effective date thereof. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower or Guarantor in the possession of Lender from time to time to assignees (including prospective assignees) provided that any such potential assignee executes a confidentiality agreement (which confidentiality agreement may be posted on a data site and acknowledged by entry in such data site). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment by Lender shall materially increase Borrower’s obligations or materially reduce the rights of Borrower hereunder. Each Lender or such Lender’s designee, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, or if designated by Lender, the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each assignment to which it is a party and a record that identifies each owner of an interest in the portion of the Loan held by such Lender, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”) and shall record all transfers of such interest in the Loan, in such Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error (which manifest error, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include a failure to record, or error in recording, any assignment of the Loan), and the Borrower 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. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes. To the extent the Borrower is not designated to maintain a Register, upon request of Borrower and reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender, such applicable Lender shall provide to Borrower any information reasonably requested by Borrower that is recorded on such Lender’s Register.
(b) Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more lenders or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in the Loan or any other interest of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by Lender of participating interests to a Participant, Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement to Borrower shall remain unchanged, Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, Lender shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Loan Agreement and the Note are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Loan Agreement and the Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as Lender under this Loan Agreement or the Note; provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lender the proceeds thereof. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that each Participant shall deliver to the participating Lender such forms and other certifications as provided in Section 2.09(c) and (d)); provided that each Participant
58
agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09(e) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section. No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08 or 2.09, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participating interest shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or such disclosure is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive 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 Loan Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.14(a) and (b) above, (i) in no event shall Lender assign all or any portion of the Loan or grant any participation interests therein to Underlying Borrower or an Affiliate of Underlying Borrower (provided that for purposes of this Section 11.14(c), the reference to “ten percent (10%)” in the definition of “Affiliate” herein shall be deemed to mean and refer to “five percent (5%)”) and (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall exist, any such assignment or participation shall be to a Qualified Transferee and Lender shall not assign all or any portion of the Loan or grant any participation interests therein to any (A) Prohibited Transferee or (B) Limited Transferee, unless with respect to any such assignment or participation to a Limited Transferee, Lender has complied with the ROFO Procedures (as defined below).
If Lender intends to assign all or any portion of the Loan or grant any participation interest in the Loan (such assignment or participation, a “ROFO Transfer”) to any Limited Transferee, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a right of first offer (the “ROFO”) with respect thereto upon the following terms and conditions (the “ROFO Procedures”). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall provide Borrower with a notice (an “Offer Notice”) that it intends to assign or grant a participation interest with respect to all or any portion of the Loan (the “Offered Interest”), the purchase price for the Offered Interest (the “ROFO Price”) and any other material terms relating to the sale of such Offered Interest. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Offer Notice (the “Exercise Period”), Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay all or the applicable portion of the Loan in the amount of the ROFO Price, without payment of any Exit Fee (the “ROFO Prepayment”), by giving written notice of such election within the Exercise Period (the “ROFO Election”). If Borrower does not timely make a ROFO Election or affirmatively waives its ROFO rights, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its right to make a ROFO Prepayment. If Borrower makes a ROFO
59
Election, Borrower shall be required to make the ROFO Prepayment within ten (10) Business Days of the ROFO Election. If Borrower does not timely make a ROFO Election or affirmatively waives its ROFO or if, after making a timely ROFO Election, Borrower fails to make the ROFO Prepayment within ten (10) Business Days of the ROFO Election, Lender shall be free to proceed to consummate the ROFO Transfer with respect to the Offered Interest to any Qualified Transferee including any Limited Transferee at a price not less than 97% of the ROFO Price. If Lender desires to effectuate the ROFO Transfer with respect to Offered Interest to any Limited Transferee for a price of less than 97% of the ROFO Price, then provided no Event of Default then exists, then such ROFO Transfer of the Offered Interest shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.14(c).
(d) Lender shall have the right to split the Note into two or more floating rate notes or components bearing different interest rate spreads in connection with any assignment or participation of the Loan, provided that no such restructuring shall (i) change the Maturity Date, (ii) result in an initial weighted average interest rate spread of such notes or components as of the effective date of such restructuring in excess of the Spread immediately prior thereto, and which weighted average interest rate spread shall remain throughout the term of the Loan notwithstanding any sequential application of principal payments among such notes, other than following an Event of Default or in connection with a casualty or condemnation, (iii) change the principal amortization requirements hereunder or (iv) otherwise materially increase Borrower’s obligations or materially decrease Borrower’s rights hereunder. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver such replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation; provided, however, that none of such amendments, modifications or other documents shall materially increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations or materially reduce Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, further, that (x) Lender shall be responsible for the payment of all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to entering into such replacement notes, restatements, amendments, supplements and other modifications, as applicable, and (y) Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all of Borrower’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to entering into such replacement notes, restatements, amendments, supplements and other modifications, as applicable, provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay for any such costs and expenses in excess of $10,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not create any participation or similar ownership interest in a Note unless either (1) such participation or similar ownership interest entitles the holder to a specified percentage of one or more particular payments of principal, interest, or both on the Note, except in the event of a credit-related default or delinquency on the Note, in which case such participation or ownership interest may be subordinated to one or more otherwise similar participation or ownership interests in the Note, or (2) Lender delivers to Borrower an opinion of nationally recognized counsel to the effect that such action will not cause Borrower or any portion thereof to be a “taxable mortgage pool” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
11.15 Servicing.
60
(a) Borrower covenants to cause the Asset and the Underlying Loan to be serviced by Hanover Street Capital, LLC (“Hanover”) or another third party servicer that is not an Affiliate of Borrower and is reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Servicer”) pursuant to a servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender (“Servicing Agreement”), and otherwise in conformity with accepted customary and prudent servicing practices in the industry for the same type of assets as the Asset and the Underlying Loan and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Guarantor provides for assets owned by Guarantor or its Affiliates (“Accepted Servicing Practices”). Borrower shall not replace the Servicer and/or enter into (or consent to any other Person entering into) a new Servicing Agreement with respect to the Asset without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Borrower agrees that Lender is the collateral assignee of all servicing records of Borrower with respect to the Asset, if any, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of the Asset (the “Servicing Records”), and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s rights relating to the Asset and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Borrower or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to deliver them promptly to Lender or its designee (including the Custodian) at Lender’s written request.
(c) Borrower shall permit Lender to inspect Borrower’s or its Affiliates’ servicing facilities pursuant to Section 11.16 below, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Lender that Borrower or its Affiliates, as the case may be, have the ability to manage the Asset as provided in this Loan Agreement.
(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into a Servicer Notice and Agreement with the Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(e) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by one or more servicers/trustees (any such servicer/trustee, together with its agent’s, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Loan Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Loan Servicer, which may be done by Lender pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and Loan Servicer. Loan Servicer may, at any time, delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities for the servicing and administration of the Loan to a sub-servicer or sub-servicers. Borrower shall be responsible for any costs and expenses of Loan Servicer to the extent such costs and expenses would otherwise be payable by Borrower if incurred by Lender or Lender hereunder. Lender and Borrower agree that Hanover shall be the initial Loan Servicer hereunder. Borrower agrees that it shall be required to pay the Loan Servicer an annual servicing fee of $21,000 during the term of the Loan, payable on a monthly basis ($1,750 per month) on each Payment Date (the “Loan Servicing Fee”). Notwithstanding any collection of the Loan Servicing Fee by Lender on behalf of Loan Servicer, the Loan Servicing Fee will be deemed to have been paid directly to Servicer.
61
11.16 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right to perform one or more due diligence reviews with respect to the Asset, which review shall not be performed more than once in any 12-month period unless an Event of Default shall be continuing or such review is necessitated by reason of specific facts or circumstances, for purposes of verifying eligibility and compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, and Borrower agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days’) prior notice to Borrower (or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice), Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Asset in the possession or under the control of Borrower at their respective normal locations. Borrower also shall make available to Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Asset. In those circumstances, Lender, at its option, has the right to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Asset, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on the Mortgaged Property and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Asset. Except as provided herein, Borrower further agrees that Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Lender’s activities pursuant to this Section 11.16 performed during the continuance of an Event of Default or if such activities are necessitated by reason of specific facts or circumstances, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder (but in all other instances, such inspections shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense). Lender agrees it shall use best efforts not to disrupt the normal course of business of Borrower while exercising its rights under this Section 11.16.
11.17 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other 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 Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
11.18 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may exercise rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as
62
specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or sale under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Collateral; or (e) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):
(a) fraud, material misrepresentation, willful misconduct or gross negligence by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor, any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor or Manager, or any of their respective agents or representatives in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO);
(b) (i) the misappropriation or intentional misapplication of any of the following funds to the extent actually received by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower: (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) any Receipts from the Collateral which Borrower fails to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Deposit Account in accordance with Section 3.03;
(c) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Material Modification with respect to any of the actions set forth in clauses (xvi)-(xxxi) of the definition of “Material Modification”, as and to the extent required under Section 7.12 hereof; and
(d) Borrower’s failure to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Secured Obligations or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Secured Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Secured Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event
63
that any of the following shall occur (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to (x) any Change of Control or (y) any Transfer of any direct or indirect interest in the Asset or any interest therein as required by this Loan Agreement; (ii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iii) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law by any other Person in which Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or Manager colludes with or otherwise assists such Person, and/or Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or Manager solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower or Guarantor by any Person; (iv) Borrower and/or any Affiliate of Borrower or Manager files an answer consenting to, or otherwise acquiescing in, or joining in, any involuntary petition filed against Borrower or Guarantor by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (v) Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate, officer, director or representative which Controls Borrower or Manager consents to, or acquiesces in, or joins in, an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner for Borrower or the Asset; (vi) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (vii) Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity to the extent such failure results in the substantive consolidation of Borrower with any other Person in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (viii) if Guarantor, Borrower, Manager or any Affiliate of Guarantor, Borrower or Manager, intentionally interferes with, or hinders the prosecution of, any enforcement action or exercise or assertion of any right or remedy by or on behalf of Lender under or in connection with the Guaranty, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document after an Event of Default (other than defenses raised in good faith by Borrower that are not frivolous in nature; it being acknowledged that in connection with any Event of Default other than Borrower’s failure to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations on the Maturity Date (other than the accelerated Maturity Date), Lender shall bear the burden of proof of establishing that any such defense by Borrower was frivolous and after any Event of Default arising from Borrower’s failure to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations on the Maturity Date (other than the accelerated Maturity Date), Borrower shall bear the burden of proof of establishing that such defense by Borrower was not frivolous; (ix) Borrower and the holder of the REO Owner Equity (if applicable) fail to execute and deliver the pledges, amendments and other documents or Guarantor fails to execute and deliver the REO Guaranty when and as required under Section 7.18; or (x) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Material Modification (other than the Material Modifications referenced in Section 11.18(c) above), as and to the extent required under Section 7.12 hereof (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s liability for the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event under this clause (x) shall be limited to $21,271,250 (which amount is equal to 50% of the maximum principal balance of the Loan)). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, neither this Section 11.18 nor any other provision hereof or of the other Loan Documents shall limit, modify or affect Guarantor’s liabilities or obligations or any of Lender’s rights or remedies under the Guaranty.
11.19 Replacement Guaranty. Borrower shall have a one-time right during the term of the Loan, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, to cause a Replacement Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lender a replacement guaranty substantially in
64
the form of the Guaranty (and including the same financial covenants) (a “Replacement Guaranty”), and upon execution and delivery of such Replacement Guaranty from such Replacement Guarantor and delivery of opinions, organizational documents, amendments to the Loan Documents and other customary deliveries as Lender may reasonably require, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, the initial Guarantor shall be released from any liability under the Guaranty arising from acts or omissions first occurring after the date of delivery of the Replacement Guaranty (it being agreed that the initial Guarantor and Replacement Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable for any liability arising from acts or omissions occurring prior to the date of delivery of the Replacement Guaranty).
11.20 Deemed Delivery of Notices and Documents Related to Underlying Loan and Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender is a Co-Lender Affiliate, with respect to Borrower’s obligation to deliver notices, reports and other documents relating to the Underlying Loan, Underlying Borrower and/or Mortgaged Property under Sections 5.01(n), (o), or (r), 7.01(a), (b), or (c), 7.04(a) or 7.06 of this Agreement, provided that such notices, reports and/or other documentation are also required to be delivered to the Underlying Lender under the Underlying Loan Documents, and Borrower has received a written acknowledgement (which may be in the form of an e-mail message) from Lender that Lender or its Affiliate that is the applicable co-lender or participant under the Underlying Loan is receiving such notices, reports and/or other documentation from Underlying Borrower, Co-Lender Agent or the servicer for the Underlying Loan and that Lender does not require Borrower to deliver additional copies thereof under this Agreement, until such notice is revoked by Lender, such applicable notice and/or delivery requirement under this Agreement shall deemed to have been waived by Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly after Lender’s request from time to time (but not more than three (3) times in any calendar year), Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any Asset Documents, Underlying Loan Documents, notices, reports, documents and information otherwise required to be delivered by Borrower hereunder.
11.21 Certain Tax Matters. The parties intend that neither the Borrower nor any portion thereof be a “taxable mortgage pool” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and this Agreement and any ancillary agreements or documentation (including any assignment or participation of the Loan) shall be interpreted consistent with such intent.

reasonably approved by Lender, in each case that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Manager and that provides professional Independent Directors and other corporate services in the ordinary course of its business, and which individual is duly appointed as an Independent Director and is not, and has never been, and will not while serving as Independent Director be, any of the following:
A. | a member, partner, equityholder, manager, director, officer or employee of Borrower or any of its equityholders or Affiliates (other than as an Independent Director of Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower that is not in the direct chain of ownership of Borrower and that is required by a creditor to be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity, provided that such Independent Director is employed by a company that routinely provides professional Independent Directors or managers in the ordinary course of its business); |

SCHEDULE 6
REPRESENTATIONS RE: UNDERLYING LOAN
With respect to the Underlying Loan and/or the Asset, as applicable, Borrower hereby represents and warrants, as of the date herein specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, that:
(a) Whole Loan; Ownership of Underlying Loan. Unless the Asset is a Participation Interest or A-Note, the Asset is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Borrower is the sole owner and holder of the Asset and has good and marketable title thereto, has full right, power and authority to sell and assign the Asset free and clear of any interest or claim of a third party, and, upon the completion of the assignee information therein and Lender’s countersignature where applicable, the assignment to Lender constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of the Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering the Asset. Prior to Substantial Completion (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) of the project improvements, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may only sell or assign the Asset to a Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement).
(b) Loan Document Status. The Mortgage Note, Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreements executed by or on behalf of Underlying Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with the Underlying Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Underlying Borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in the Underlying Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render the Underlying Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).
Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to Underlying Borrower with respect to the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Underlying Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Borrower, or to Borrower’s Knowledge, Underlying Lender in connection with the origination of the Underlying Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Underlying Loan Documents.
Sch. 6-1
(c) Mortgage Provisions. The Underlying Loan Documents contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
(d) Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except prior to the Closing Date by written instruments set forth in the Asset File (i) the material terms of the Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Underlying Loan guaranty, and other Underlying Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect; (ii) neither the Mortgaged Property, nor any portion thereof, has been released from the lien of the Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property; and (iii) neither Underlying Borrower nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Underlying Loan. Except as contained in a written document included in the Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers consented to by Borrower or Underlying Lender, as applicable, with respect to the Underlying Loan that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Underlying Loan on or after the Closing Date.
(e) Lien; Valid Assignment. Each of the Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is assignable without the consent of Underlying Borrower subject to customary restrictions regarding qualified transferees as set forth in the Underlying Loan Documents, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing. The Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on Underlying Borrower’s fee (or if identified on the Schedule I, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of the Underlying Loan (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Closing Date, to the Knowledge of Borrower, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Knowledge of Borrower (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.
(f) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. The Mortgaged Property securing the Underlying Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the principal amount of the Underlying Loan (or, if the Underlying Loan is
Sch. 6-2
secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (iii) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (v) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations, if applicable; and (vi) if the Underlying Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan, the lien of the mortgage for such other Mortgaged Loan, provided that none of which items (i) through (vi), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or Underlying Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (vi) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by Underlying Lender or Borrower, as applicable, thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Borrower nor, to the Knowledge of Borrower, any other holder of the Underlying Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.
(g) Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same mortgage as the Underlying Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except if the Underlying Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Knowledge of Borrower, as of the Closing Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (e) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). As of the Closing Date, Borrower has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in Underlying Borrower.
(h) Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the Asset File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, the Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to Underlying Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The Mortgage or Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Underlying Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.
Sch. 6-3
(i) UCC Filings. If the Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, Borrower or Underlying Lender, as applicable, has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Underlying Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property owned by Underlying Borrower and located on the Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the Underlying Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Mortgage creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.
(j) Condition of Property. Borrower or Underlying Lender, as applicable, inspected or caused to be inspected the Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Underlying Loan and within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date.
(k) Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Closing Date have become delinquent in respect of the Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.
(l) Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Knowledge of Borrower as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending, and there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
(m) Actions Concerning the Underlying Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Knowledge of Borrower as of the Closing Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving Underlying Borrower, guarantor, or Underlying Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (i) Underlying Borrower’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (iii) Underlying Borrower’s ability to perform under the Underlying Loan, (iv) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (v) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Underlying Loan Documents or (vi) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.
Sch. 6-4
(n) Escrow Deposits. As of the Closing Date, all escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Underlying Lender pursuant to the Underlying Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Underlying Lender or Borrower, or servicer of Underlying Lender or Borrower, as applicable, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith.
(o) No Holdbacks. With respect to the Underlying Loan, except as set forth in the Loan Agreement (including as set forth in Schedule I thereto), an initial advance in the amount of $39,000,000 has been fully disbursed as of the date of origination of the Underlying Loan, and Underlying Lender’s obligation to make additional advances not to exceed $54,500,000 are conditioned upon Underlying Borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of evidence that required additional equity contributed by the Underlying Borrower has been or will be used in accordance with the project budget and business plan, receipt and approval of plans and specifications, evidence that any and all building permits and government approvals required for commencement of the vertical construction and project improvements have been obtained and are in full force and effect, receipt of valid certificates of insurance, and receipt of executed lien waivers. The final advance upon final completion of the project is conditioned upon evidence of such final completion, certificates from the general contract, architect and engineer, executed lien waivers, as-built plans and specifications, and such other documents as may be required.
(p) Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is required pursuant to the Underlying Loan Agreement to be, insured by a property insurance policy or Builder’s Risk insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the Underlying Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A/X” from A.M. Best Company, or (ii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Underlying Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by Underlying Borrower and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
The Mortgaged Property is also required to be covered pursuant to the Underlying Loan Documents for soft costs that are recurring costs, including, without limitation, delayed opening loss of income/revenue coverage or business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months.
If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, Underlying Borrower is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program.
Sch. 6-5
The Mortgaged Property is required to be covered pursuant to the Underlying Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by Borrower for loans originated or acquired by Borrower or its Affiliates, and in any event not less than $25 million per occurrence and in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the above, during the land stabilization phase, the Underlying Borrower has obtained a liability policy in the amount of $20,000,000, including products and completed operations, from the land stabilization general contractor and $11,000,000 premises liability coverage.
Upon Substantial Completion (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement) of the Mortgaged Property, if the Mortgaged Property is located in seismic zones 3 or 4, an architectural or engineering consultant will perform an analysis of the Mortgaged Property in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, will be based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concludes that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on the Mortgaged Property will be obtained by an insurer rated at least “A-:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.
The Underlying Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Underlying Loan, Underlying Lender or Borrower (or a servicer or trustee appointed by Underlying Lender or Borrower), as applicable, having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.
All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Closing Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name Underlying Lender and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Lender. The Underlying Loan obligates Underlying Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at Underlying Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes Underlying Lender to maintain such insurance at Underlying Borrower’s cost and expense and to charge Underlying Borrower for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to Underlying Lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to Underlying Lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Underlying or Borrower, as applicable.
Sch. 6-6

The Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has or, upon completion of construction, will be served by or have uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Underlying Loan requires Underlying Borrower to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.
(r) No Encroachments. To the Knowledge of Borrower based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination of the Underlying Loan and the Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of the Underlying Loan, (i) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of the Underlying Loan are within the boundaries of the Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy, (ii) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and (iii) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

Sch. 6-7
(v) Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to the Mortgage if it is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Knowledge of Borrower, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by Underlying Lender.
(w) Local Law Compliance. To the Knowledge of Borrower, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Borrower for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of the Mortgaged Property securing the Underlying Loan as of the date of origination of the Underlying Loan and as of the Closing Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes, land laws and laws and regulations relating to affordable housing (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or as to which the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by the Borrower for loans similar to the Underlying Loan that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property. The terms of the Underlying Loan Documents require Underlying Borrower to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws. If Underlying Borrower has commenced or intends to commence any material construction, renovations or improvements with respect to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower has obtained a legal opinion or memorandum or other evidence reasonably acceptable to Borrower that Underlying Borrower has obtained, or will obtain, all necessary licenses, permits, entitlements and approvals required by applicable law for such construction, renovations and improvements.
(x) Licenses and Permits. Underlying Borrower covenants in the Underlying Loan Documents that it shall diligently pursue construction of all project improvements to final completion in material compliance with all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations, and, upon completion of such construction, obtain and keep in full force and effect all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property (collectively, “Governmental Approvals”), Underlying Borrower further covenants in the Underlying Loan Documents that it shall not commence any work on any stage or phase of the project unless all of required Governmental Approvals have been issued or obtained. Additional advances of the loan are conditioned upon Underlying Borrower’s provision of evidence that all necessary Governmental Approvals have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The Underlying Loan requires Underlying Borrower to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
Sch. 6-8
(y) Recourse Obligations. The Underlying Loan Documents for the Underlying Loan provide that the Underlying Loan is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) Underlying Borrower and at least one other individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of Underlying Borrower and/or its principals specified in the Underlying Loan Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or misrepresentation in connection with the Underlying Loan or the condominium documents, (ii) failure of Underlying Borrower to apply in accordance with Underlying Loan Documents any insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, gross revenue, unit sale contract deposits, or any other funds, (iii) intentional physical waste of the Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the Underlying Loan Documents, and (b) the Underlying Loan shall become full recourse to Underlying Borrower and at least one other individual or entity if Underlying Borrower files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

(aa) Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls.

(bb) Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to the Underlying Loan, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy or Builder’s Risk insurance policy and related soft costs delay in opening or business interruption coverage (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, as further amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. The Underlying Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit Underlying Lender from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Underlying Borrower is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event Underlying Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the Underlying Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of
Sch. 6-9
terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Underlying Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Underlying Borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.
(cc) Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below and Permitted Transfers (as defined in the Underlying Loan Agreement), the Underlying Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Underlying Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the Underlying Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of Underlying Lender which are customarily acceptable to Borrower lending on the security of property comparable to the Mortgaged Property), (a) the Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in Underlying Borrower, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Underlying Loan Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in Underlying Borrower, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in Underlying Borrower, a specific Person designated in the Underlying Loan Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the Underlying Loan Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, or (b) the Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the Mortgaged Property, other than Permitted Encumbrances.
(dd) Single-Purpose Entity. The Underlying Loan requires Underlying Borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Underlying Loan is outstanding. Both the Underlying Loan Documents and the organizational documents of Underlying Borrower provide that Underlying Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of acquiring, owning, developing, marketing, selling, leasing, and operating the Mortgaged Property securing the Underlying Loan and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to the foregoing, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the Underlying Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than the Mortgaged Property and those assets related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the Mortgage or the other Underlying Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

As of the Closing Date, the Underlying Loan has not been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required debt service payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, the Underlying Loan is not more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Knowledge of Borrower, as of the Closing Date, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Underlying Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying Loan or the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property. No person other than the holder of the Underlying Loan may declare any event of default under the Underlying Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Underlying Loan Documents.

(kk) Environmental / Geotechnical Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and/or Phase II site assessment) and, if required pursuant to the Underlying Loan Documents, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements has been conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with the Underlying Loan on July 31, 2014 (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental
Sch. 6-11
Condition has been escrowed by Underlying Borrower and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by Underlying Borrower that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Xxxxx’x, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to Underlying Borrower was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to Underlying Borrower having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Knowledge of Borrower as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the Mortgaged Property. A soil and geotechnical report has been conducted by a reputable geotechnical consultant in connection with the Underlying Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date and such report did not identify the existence of any condition that would have a material adverse effect on the construction, renovations and/or improvements to be performed at the Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any such condition.
(ll) Appraisal. The Asset File contains an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property with an appraisal dated as of July 24, 2014. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is either a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or Underlying Borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Underlying Loan.

Sch. 6-12
Borrower, no funds have been received from any person other than Underlying Borrower or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Underlying Loan (other than as contemplated by the Underlying Loan Documents). Neither Borrower nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Underlying Borrower under the Underlying Loan.
(pp) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Borrower has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to its purchase of a participation interest in the Underlying Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Underlying Loan.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS, dated as of October 21, 2016 (this “Amendment”), by and between TPG RE FINANCE 4, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) and DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH, a branch of a foreign banking institution (“Lender”), and is agreed to and acknowledged by TPG RE FINANCE TRUST HOLDCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Lender made a loan to Borrower in the maximum principal amount of $42,542,500 (the “Loan”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2015 (as so amended, and as same may be further amended, modified and/or restated, the “Loan Agreement”), between Borrower and Lender;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Loan Agreement, Borrower and Lender entered into that certain letter agreement, dated as of June 26, 2015 (as amended, modified and/or restated, the “Letter Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Lender sent a reservation of rights letter (the “ROR Letter”) relating to certain Underlying Loan Events of Default to Borrower on June 21, 2016;
WHEREAS, Underlying Borrower and Borrower are entering into a certain Seventh Omnibus Amendment to Loan Documents, dated as of the date hereof (the “UL 7th Amendment”), amending the Underlying Loan and Underlying Loan Documents; and
WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower wish to amend and modify the Loan Agreement and Letter Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lender and Borrower hereby agree that the Loan Agreement shall be amended and modified as follows:
1. Amendment to Loan Agreement. The definitions of “Extended Maturity Date”, “Spread Ratio”, “Stated Maturity Date” and “Underlying Excess Spread” as set forth in Section 1 of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
“Extended Maturity Date” shall mean December 9, 2019.
“Spread Ratio” shall mean 62.39%.
“Stated Maturity Date” shall mean December 9, 2018.
“Underlying Excess Spread” shall mean 0.90% unless and until the Underlying Spread shall be reduced to 5.85% pursuant to the definition of “Spread” in the Underlying Loan Agreement (as amended by the UL 7th Amendment) whereupon the Underlying Excess Spread shall be zero.
2. Amendment to Letter Agreement. The definition of “Spread” as set forth in Section 1 of the Letter Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Spread” shall mean 3.65%.
3. Future Funding Paydown; Release of Excess Available Income. As a result of the Existing Underlying Loan Events of Default (as defined in the ROR Letter) and Borrower not funding Underlying Additional Advances as of the date of the ROR Letter and as of the date hereof due to defaults by Underlying Borrower and/or the failure of Underlying Borrower to satisfy applicable conditions precedent to funding under the Underlying Loan Documents for ninety (90) days, a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing and Borrower was required to make a Future Funding Paydown pursuant to Section 2.07(b) of the Loan Agreement from and after the date of the ROR Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender has elected, in its sole discretion, to waive such Future Funding Paydown prior to the date hereof and hereby agrees that it shall not require Borrower to make such Future Funding Paydown after the date hereof as a result of the Trigger Events described in the ROR Letter or any default under the Underlying Loan or Underlying Loan Event of Default existing as of the date hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require Borrower to make a Future Funding Paydown or any other rights or remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity as a result of any other Trigger Event, default under the Underlying Loan or Underlying Loan Event of Default first occurring after the date hereof or any default under the Underlying Loan or Underlying Loan Event of Default existing as of the date hereof with respect to which Lender has not received written notice from Borrower prior to the date hereof. In addition, as a result of the Existing Underlying Loan Events of Default, pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(iii) of the Loan Agreement, Lender has been entitled to apply excess Available Income to payment of the principal balance of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender elected, in its sole discretion, not to apply excess Available Income to payment of the principal balance of the Loan prior to the date hereof and has held such excess Available Income in reserve as additional Collateral for the Loan. Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender has released the total amount of such excess Available Income in the amount of $516,283.77 to Borrower on the date hereof and that such amount shall not be required to be repaid to Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Amendment.
4. Underlying Loan Future Disbursement Account; FD Underlying Additional Advances. Pursuant to Section 7.2.3 of the Underlying Loan Agreement (as amended by the UL 7th Amendment), Borrower and GACC are funding an advance of $18,000,000 ($11,700,000 of which is being funded by Borrower pursuant to its Participation Interest) of the unfunded principal amount of the Underlying Loan into the Future Disbursement Account (as defined in
2
the Underlying Loan Agreement) on the date hereof and Borrower and GACC have agreed to advance an additional $16,000,000 ($10,400,000 of which shall be funded by Borrower pursuant to its Participation Interest) of the unfunded principal amount of the Underlying Loan into the Future Disbursement Account on December 1, 2016 and the remaining unfunded principal amount of the Underlying Loan (a pro rata portion of which shall be funded by Borrower pursuant to its Participation Interest) on June 1, 2017. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Future Disbursement Account, all funds from time to time on deposit therein and each “financial asset” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) contained therein are part of the Collateral for the Loan and Borrower has granted to Lender a security interest therein pursuant to Section 4 of the Loan Agreement. The portion of each additional advance to be made into the Future Disbursement Account pursuant to Section 7.2.3 of the Underlying Loan Agreement which is to be funded by Borrower as described above shall be referred to herein as an “FD Underlying Additional Advance”.
