WAREHOUSING
CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
WAREHOUSING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of September 4, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), among XXXXXX & DUNLOP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association (in its individual capacity, “Bank of America” and, in its capacity as a lender hereunder, together with any other Persons as may from time to time become parties hereto as lenders, being referred to individually, as a “Lender,” and collectively, as the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Credit Agent”).
Preliminary Statement
Borrower, Bank of America and TD Bank, N.A., as lenders (collectively, the “Existing Lenders”), and Credit Agent are parties to a certain Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement dated as of October 15, 2009 (as amended and in effect, the “Existing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Existing Lenders made advances to Borrower from time to time subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth therein (with such advances outstanding on the Closing Date, and all related obligations, including, without limitation, interest thereon and fees and expenses, being referred to herein as “Existing Agreement Obligations”).
Borrower has requested Lenders and Credit Agent to enter into this Agreement in order to (a) refinance, as Warehousing Advances hereunder (such Warehousing Advances, the “Refinancing Warehousing Advances”), the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Agreement Obligations as Warehousing Advances (the “Existing Warehousing Advances”), and (b) provide a new mortgage loan warehousing facility, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Lenders and Credit Agent have agreed to the requests of Borrower described in the preceding paragraph, but only on, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. THE CREDIT
1.1 The Warehousing Commitment
1.1(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, including Exhibit C, Lenders agree to make Warehousing Advances to Borrower from the Closing Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the Warehousing Maturity Date, during which period Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Lenders have no obligation to make or maintain Warehousing Advances if, after giving effect to each requested Warehousing Advance, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Warehousing Advances would exceed
the Warehousing Credit Limit, or if the outstanding amount of the Loan would exceed the Warehousing Collateral Value. No Lender shall be obligated to make Warehousing Advances if, after giving effect to each requested Warehousing Advance, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Warehousing Advances would exceed such Lender’s Warehousing Commitment Amount. While a Default or Event of Default exists, Lenders may refuse to make any additional Warehousing Advances to Borrower. All Warehousing Advances under this Agreement constitute a single indebtedness, and all of the Collateral is security for the Warehousing Notes and for the performance of all of the Obligations.
1.1(b) On the Closing Date, the Credit Agent will coordinate with the Existing Lenders the repayment of the Existing Warehousing Advances through Warehousing Advances to be made by Lenders on the Closing Date, and Borrower will repay directly to the Existing Lenders all other Existing Agreement Obligations (other than those which by their terms survive the termination of the Existing Agreement and the lending commitments of the Existing Lenders thereunder.
1.2 Post-Effective Date Warehousing Commitments
1.2(a) On or before the Outside Sell Down Date, it is anticipated that TD Bank, N.A. will (but it is in no way obligated to) become the Assignee of a portion of the Warehousing Commitment held by Bank of America (with the date of the consummation of any such assignment being referred to herein as, the “Sell Down Closing Date”) representing a Warehousing Commitment Amount not to exceed $75,000,000 (with the actual Warehousing Commitment Amount, if any, assigned to and assumed by TD Bank, N.A. begin referred to herein as, the “TD Sell Down Date Warehousing Commitment Amount”), and may further commit as of the Sell Down Closing Date to additional Warehousing Commitments (any such additional Warehouse Commitments, together with the TD Sell Down Date Warehousing Commitment Amount, the “TD Warehousing Commitment Amount”). The TD Warehousing Commitment Amount shall not exceed $200,000,000.
1.2(b) On the Credit Limit Determination Date (whether or not the Sell Down Closing Date has occurred), the Warehousing Commitment Amount of Bank of America automatically shall be reduced to an amount equal to the result of (i)$500,000,000, minus (ii) the TD Sell Down Date Warehousing Commitment Amount, if any, but with a resulting Warehousing Commitment Amount in no event to be greater than $425,000,000 (such resulting Warehousing Commitment Amount, the “Bank of America Sell Down Date Warehousing Commitment Amount”).
1.2(c) From and after the Credit Limit Determination Date, the Warehousing Credit Limit shall not exceed $625,000,000.
1.2(d) Exhibit M annexed hereto shall be automatically deemed amended to reflect changes in the Lenders’ Warehousing Commitment Amounts pursuant to this Section 1.2.
1.3 Expiration of Warehousing Commitment
The Warehousing Commitment expires on the earlier of (“Warehousing Maturity Date”): (a) September 3, 2013, as such date may be extended in writing by Lenders, in their sole discretion, on which date the Warehousing Commitment will expire of its own term and the Warehousing Advances together with all accrued and unpaid interest and costs and expenses will become due and payable without the necessity of Notice or action by Credit Agent or Lenders; and (b) the date the Warehousing Commitment is terminated and the Warehousing Advances become due and payable under Section 10.2(a) or 10.2(b).
1.4 Warehousing Notes
Warehousing Advances are evidenced by Borrower’s promissory notes, payable to Lenders on the form prescribed by Credit Agent (each a Warehousing Note”). The term “Warehousing Note” as used in this Agreement includes all amendments, restatements, renewals or replacements of the original Warehousing Note and all substitutions for it. All terms and provisions of the Warehousing Note are incorporated into this Agreement.
1.5 Replacement of Warehousing Note
Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warehousing Note or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Warehousing Note or other security document and receipt by Borrower of customary indemnification from Lender, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
1.6 Nature of Obligations
All Warehousing Advances made under this Agreement constitute a single Indebtedness of Borrower, and all of the Collateral granted by Borrower is security for the payment and performance of the Obligations of Borrower. The aggregate amount of all Warehousing Advances outstanding from time to time under this Agreement may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Loan.”
End of Article 1
2. PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ADVANCES
2.1 Warehousing Advances
Borrower may obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement, by delivering to Credit Agent a completed and signed request for a Warehousing Advance on Credit Agent’s then current form (“Warehousing Advance Request”), not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day before the Business Day on which Borrower desires the Warehousing Advance. Warehousing Advance Requests received by Credit Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed received on the following Business Day, provided, however, on a case-by-case basis at the request of Borrower, the Credit Agent may, in its sole discretion (and without thereby establishing any course of dealing), extend such 3:00 p.m. cut-off time to a later time on the subject Business Day. Subject to the delivery of a Warehousing Advance Request and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Borrower may obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section and in the applicable Exhibit B, including delivery to Credit Agent of all Collateral Documents required to be delivered on the applicable dates specified in this Agreement for such delivery. Credit Agent’s current form of Warehousing Advance Request is set forth in Exhibit A. Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior Notice to Borrower, Credit Agent may modify its form of Warehousing Advance Request and any other Exhibit or document referred to in this Section to conform to current legal requirements or Lender practices and, as so modified, those Exhibits and documents will become part of this Agreement.
2.2 Funding Advances
2.2(a) Credit Agent shall notify each Lender, on the same Business Day as received (or deemed received, as provided in Section 2.1) from Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1, of Credit Agent’s receipt of a Warehousing Advance Request. Each such notice shall specify such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the requested Warehousing Advance and the date requested by Borrower for such requested Warehousing Advance to be made. To make a Warehousing Advance, each Lender shall wire transfer to a specified account of Credit Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date such Warehousing Advance is to be made as set forth in the Warehousing Advance Request, and Credit Agent shall make such Warehousing Advance available to Borrower upon receipt of all Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages thereof. Neither Credit Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to fund a non-funding Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Warehousing Advance.
2.2(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), unless Credit Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Warehousing Advance that such Lender will not make available to Credit Agent such Lender’s share of such Warehousing Advance, Credit Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2(a) and may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Warehousing Advance available to Credit Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Credit Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Credit Agent at the interest rate applicable to Warehousing Advances. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Credit Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Credit Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Warehousing Advance to Credit Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s share of such Warehousing Advance. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its Warehousing Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Credit Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice from Credit Agent to any Lender or to Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
2.3 The Refinancing Warehousing Advances
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto, the Refinancing Warehousing Advances shall be made directly to the Existing Lenders. All Collateral Documents previously delivered to the Credit Agent under and pursuant to the Existing Agreement shall be deemed to have been so delivered pursuant to this Agreement.
End of Article 2
3. INTEREST, PRINCIPAL AND FEES
3.1 Interest
3.1(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Borrower must pay interest on the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance from the date the Warehousing Advance is made until it is paid in full at the Applicable Rate as in effect from time to time.
3.1(b) Credit Agent computes interest on the basis of the actual number of days in each month and a year of 360 days. Borrower must pay interest monthly in arrears, not later than 9 days after the date of Credit Agent’s invoice or, if applicable, 2 days after the date of Credit Agent’s account analysis statement, commencing with the first month following the Closing Date and on the Warehousing Maturity Date.
3.1(c) If, for any reason, (i) Borrower repays a Warehousing Advance on the same day that it was made, or (ii) Borrower instructs Credit Agent not to make a previously requested Warehousing Advance after Credit Agent and Lenders have reserved funds or made other arrangements necessary to enable Credit Agent and Lenders to fund that Warehousing Advance, Borrower agrees to pay to Credit Agent, without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10, (x) for the account of Credit Agent, an administrative fee equal to 1 day of interest on that Warehousing Advance at the rate of 1.50% per annum, and (y) for the ratable account of all Lenders (based on Commitment Percentages) who funded the subject Warehousing Advance, interest thereon at the Applicable Rate notwithstanding repayment prior to the cut-off time specified in Section 3.6(a) (unless the reason for such repayment is due to the failure of the underlying transaction to close). Borrower must pay all such administrative fees and interest within 9 days after the date of Credit Agent’s invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days after the date of Credit Agent’s account analysis statement.
3.1(d) After an Event of Default occurs and upon Notice to Borrower by Credit Agent, the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance will bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full.
3.1(e) Credit Agent will adjust the rates of interest provided for in this Agreement as of the effective date of each change in the applicable Reference Rate. Credit Agent’s determination of such rates of interest as of any date of determination is conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
3.2 Interest Limitation
If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute or are deemed under any applicable law to constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by a Lender or Credit Agent as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collecting of Warehousing Advances, shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by a Lender or Credit Agent to Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be
deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal (or, if no Obligations are then outstanding, shall be repaid to the Borrower). As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.
3.3 Principal Payments
3.3(a) Borrower must pay Credit Agent the outstanding principal amount of all Warehousing Advances together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any unpaid costs and expenses, on the Warehousing Maturity Date.
3.3(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1, Borrower may prepay any portion of the Warehousing Advances without premium or penalty at any time.
3.3(c) Upon telephonic or written Notice to Borrower by Credit Agent, Borrower must pay to Credit Agent, and Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge its Operating Account for, the amount of any outstanding Warehousing Advance against a specific Pledged Asset upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) For any Pledged Loan, the Warehouse Period elapses.
(2) For any Pledged Loan, the Shipped Period elapses.
(3) On the date a Warehousing Advance was made if the Pledged Loan to be funded by that Warehousing Advance has not closed and funded.
(4) One (1) Business Day elapses from the date a Warehousing Advance was made against a Pledged Loan, without receipt of the Collateral Documents relating to that Pledged Loan required to be delivered on that date, or such Collateral Documents, upon examination by Credit Agent, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment.
(5) Ten (10) Business Days elapse without the return of a Collateral Document delivered by Credit Agent to Borrower under a Trust Receipt for correction or completion.
(6) On the date on which a Pledged Loan is determined to have been originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or otherwise to be subject to fraud, whether or not Borrower had knowledge of the misrepresentation, incomplete or inaccurate information or fraud.
(7) On the date on which Borrower knows, has reason to know, or receives Notice from Credit Agent, that (A) one or more of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 9 were inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect on any date when made or deemed made or became inaccurate or incomplete after any such date, or (B) Borrower has failed to perform or comply with any covenant, term or condition applicable to it set forth in Article 9.
(8) On the date on which a Pledged Loan or a Lien prior to the Mortgage securing repayment of the Pledged Loan has been in default for a period of 60 days or more (it being understood that, as provided in Section 9.2(o), no Warehousing Advance will be made against any Mortgage Loan which is in default).
(9) On the mandatory delivery date of the related Purchase Commitment if the specific Pledged Loan has not been delivered under the Purchase Commitment prior to such mandatory delivery date, or on the date the related Purchase Commitment expires or is terminated.
(10) Three (3) Business Days after the date a Pledged Loan is rejected for purchase by an Investor unless another Purchase Commitment is provided within that three (3) Business Day period.
(11) Upon the sale, other disposition or prepayment of any Pledged Asset or, with respect to a Pledged Loan included in an Eligible Mortgage Pool, upon the sale or other disposition of the related Agency Security.
(12) With respect to any Pledged Loan, any of the Collateral Documents, upon examination by Credit Agent, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment.
(13) If, after giving effect to a new Warehousing Advance against a Pledged Loan or to the payment of existing Warehousing Advances against Pledged Loans, any of the limitations set forth in Exhibit C have been exceeded.
3.3(d) In addition to the payments required by Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b), if the principal amount of any Pledged Loan is prepaid in whole or in part while a Warehousing Advance is outstanding against the Pledged Loan, Borrower must pay to Credit Agent, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge its Operating Account for, the amount of the prepayment, to be applied against the Warehousing Advance.
3.3(e) The proceeds of the sale or other disposition of Pledged Assets must be paid directly by the Investor to Borrower’s Cash Collateral Account. Borrower must give Notice to Credit Agent in writing or by telephone (and if by telephone, followed promptly by written Notice) of the Pledged Assets for which proceeds have been received. Upon receipt of Borrower’s Notice, Credit Agent will apply any proceeds deposited into the applicable Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Warehousing Advances related to the Pledged Assets identified by Borrower in its Notice, and those Pledged Assets will be considered to have been redeemed from pledge to the extent the related Warehousing Advance has been paid in full. Credit Agent is entitled to rely upon Borrower’s affirmation that deposits in the applicable Cash Collateral Account represent payments from Investors for the purchase of the Pledged Assets specified by Borrower in its Notice. If the payment from an Investor for the purchase of Pledged Assets is less than the outstanding Warehousing Advances against the Pledged Assets identified by Borrower in its Notice, Borrower must pay to Credit Agent, and Borrower
authorizes Credit Agent to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, an amount equal to that deficiency. As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Credit Agent will return to Borrower any excess payment from an Investor for Pledged Assets.
3.3(f) Credit Agent reserves the right to revalue any Pledged Loan or Pledged Security. Borrower must pay to Credit Agent, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Credit Agent, and Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, any amount required after any such revaluation to reduce the principal amount of the Warehousing Advance outstanding against the revalued Pledged Loan or Pledged Security to an amount equal to the Advance Rate for the applicable type of Pledged Loan or Pledged Security multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Pledged Loan or Pledged Security.
3.3(g) Without duplication of any payment made pursuant to Section 3.3(h), in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at any time exceeds the Warehousing Credit Limit (including as a result of a reduction thereof pursuant to Section 1.2), Borrower must pay to Credit Agent, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Credit Agent, and Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, any amount required after to reduce the principal amount of the Loan to an amount equal to the lesser of the Warehousing Credit Limit and the then aggregate Warehousing Collateral Value.
3.3(h) Without duplication of any payment made pursuant to Section 3.3(g), in the event that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warehousing Advances made by a Lender exceed such Lender’s Warehousing Commitment Amount (including, in the case of Bank of America, as a result of a reduction thereof pursuant to Section 1.2), Borrower must pay to Credit Agent, for payment to such Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Credit Agent, and Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, any amount required after to reduce the aggregate amount of outstanding Warehousing Advances made by such Lender to an amount equal to such Lenders’ Warehousing Commitment Amount.
3.4 Fees
Borrower shall timely pay such fees as are required to be paid pursuant to the Fee Letters, as and when from time to time due and payable in accordance with applicable provisions thereof.
3.5 Overdraft Advances
If, under the authorization given by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, Credit Agent debits Borrower’s Operating Account to honor an item presented against an Operating Account and that debit or direction results in an overdraft, Credit Agent may make an additional advance to fund that overdraft (“Overdraft Advance”). Borrower must pay (a) the outstanding amount of any Overdraft Advance, within 1 Business Day after the date of the Overdraft Advance, and (b) interest on the amount of the Overdraft Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus 2%, within 9 days after the date of Credit Agent’s invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days after the date of Credit Agent’s account analysis statement.
3.6 Method of Making Payments
3.6(a) All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments by wire transfer to Lender, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to 2:00 P.M.; payments received after 2:00 P.M. shall be credited on the next Business Day. All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses, and other amounts due to Credit Agent and/or Lenders (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal, provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, payments will be applied to the Obligations as Credit Agent determines. If the due date is not a Business Day, payment is due on, and interest will accrue to, the next Business Day.
3.6(b) Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for any interest or fees due and payable to Credit Agent and/or Lenders on or after the 9th day after the date of Credit Agent’s invoice or, if applicable, on or after the 2nd day after the date of Credit Agent’s account analysis statement, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Credit Agent.
3.6(c) While a Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower authorizes Credit Agent to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for any Obligations due and payable to Credit Agent or Lenders, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Credit Agent.
3.6(d) All payments made on account of the Obligations shall be made by the Borrower to Credit Agent for distribution to the Lenders, except for fees payable to Credit Agent for its own account. No principal payments resulting from the refinancing, sale or other disposition of Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities shall be deemed to have been received by Credit Agent until Credit Agent has also received the Notice required under Section 3.3(e). All amounts received by Credit Agent on account of the Obligations for distribution to the Lenders shall be disbursed to the Lenders by wire transfer on the date of receipt if received by the Credit Agent by the applicable deadlines for payment thereof, or, if received later, by 12:00 noon on the next succeeding Business Day, without any interest payable by Credit Agent thereon.
3.7 Xxxxxxxx
Any changes in the interest rate and in the outstanding amount of the Obligations which occur between the date of any billing and the due date of any payment may be reflected in adjustments in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Credit Agent to submit a xxxx, nor any error in any such xxxx shall excuse Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all Borrower’s payment obligations when due.
3.8 Late Charges
Borrower shall pay, upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to three percent (3%) of the amount of any payment of principal (other than principal due at the Warehousing Maturity Date or the date on which Credit Agent accelerates the time for payment of the Loan after the occurrence of an Event of Default), interest, or fees, which are not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Late Charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate; (b) intended to compensate Credit Agent and Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments; (c) not interest; and (d) not subject to refund or rebate or credit against any other amount due.
3.9 Additional Provisions Relating to Interest Rate
3.9(a) If Credit Agent has determined, after the date hereof, that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from Credit Agent to Borrower and delivery by Credit Agent of a statement setting forth the reduction in the rate of return experienced by the affected Lender and the amount necessary to compensate such Lender under this Section 3.9(a), Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the affected Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. Each determination by Credit Agent of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.
3.9(b) If Credit Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Applicable Daily Floating LIBOR Rate for any day; or (ii) the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding (including maintaining) Warehousing Advances, then Credit Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof, and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Loan (and all outstanding and future Warehousing Advances under the Loan) shall bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate.
3.9(c) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Credit Agent and/or Lenders hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Credit Agent’s or any Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Credit Agent and/or any Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement to Credit Agent and/or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.9(c)) Credit Agent and Lenders receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the affected Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the affected Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the affected Borrower shall furnish to Credit Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
3.9(d) Borrower also agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). Further, if Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Credit Agent, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that Credit Agent specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that Credit Agent and Lenders would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.
3.9(e) Borrower agrees to indemnify Credit Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.10) paid by any of them and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; (ii) any other amounts payable under Section 3.9; and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this Section 3.9(e) shall be made within 30 days after the date Credit Agent makes a demand therefor.
3.9(f) In the event that Borrower is required to pay or withhold any amount pursuant to Sections 3.10(c), 3.10(d), or 3.10(e), which results in Borrower paying more than would have been the case without regard to such Sections (an “Excess Payment”), Borrower shall have the option to terminate the Warehousing Commitment in its entirety (but not in part) and this Agreement (other than as to those provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement), by giving Notice to Credit Agent specifying the effective date of such termination, which Notice may be given no earlier than three (3) Business Days after making an Excess Payment and no later than thirty (30) days after making an Excess Payment. Upon the effective date of the termination of this Agreement by Borrower pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall pay all of the Obligations in full.
3.9(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (x) any change in law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make Warehousing Advances as LIBOR Loans, or to maintain outstanding Warehousing Advances as LIBOR Loans or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to the Loan or any particular Warehousing Advance as a LIBOR Loan or (y) at any time Credit Agent reasonably determines that the making or continuance of LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market, the Credit Agent , may, by written notice to Borrower (i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by any Lender hereunder, whereupon all subsequent Warehousing Advances will be made as Base Rate Loans unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and/or (ii) require that any then outstanding Warehousing Advances be converted to Base Rate Loans (and thereby bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate), as of the effective date of such notice.
3.10 Continuing Authority of Authorized Representatives
Credit Agent is authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Persons hereafter designated by Borrower (“Authorized Representatives”) to bind Borrower with respect to all matters pertaining to the Loan and the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the submission of requests for Warehousing Advances, and certificates with regard thereto, instructions with regard to the Operating Account and, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, the Collateral, and matters pertaining to the procedures and documentation for Warehousing Advances. Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice to Credit Agent accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Credit Agent, of the authority of the person giving such notice and such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof by Credit Agent. The Authorized Representatives as of the Closing Date are listed on Exhibit D. Credit Agent shall have a right of approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, over the identity of the Authorized Representatives so as to assure Credit Agent that each Authorized Representative is a responsible and senior official of the respective Borrower.

(4) Subject to the rights of the lenders under the Acquisition Term Loan, act, or contract with a third party to act at Borrower’s expense, as servicer or subservicer of Collateral requiring servicing and perform all obligations required under any Collateral, including Servicing Contracts and Purchase Commitments.
(5) Require Borrower to assemble and make available to Credit Agent the Collateral and all related books and records at a place designated by Credit Agent.
(6) Enter onto property where any Collateral or related books and records are located and take possession of those items with or without judicial process; and obtain access to Borrower’s respective data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and use all of the foregoing and the
information contained in the foregoing in any manner Credit Agent deems necessary for the purpose of effectuating its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.
(7) Before the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Credit Agent deems appropriate.
(8) Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts or other applicable law, including selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales, whether or not the Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on terms and conditions and in the manner as Credit Agent may determine, including sale under any applicable Purchase Commitment. Borrower waives any right it may have to prior notice of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral to the extent allowed by applicable law. If notice is required under applicable law, Credit Agent will give Borrower not less than 10 days’ notice of any public sale or of the date after which any private sale may be held. Borrower agrees that 10 days’ notice is reasonable notice. Credit Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale one or more times by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and the sale may be held at any time or place announced at the adjournment. In the case of a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral sold on those terms may be retained by Credit Agent until the purchaser pays the selling price or takes possession of the Collateral. Credit Agent has no liability to Borrower if a purchaser fails to pay for or take possession of Collateral sold on those terms, and in the case of any such failure, Credit Agent may sell the Collateral again upon notice complying with this Section.
(9) Instead of or in conjunction with exercising the power of sale authorized by Section 10.2(c)(8), Credit Agent may proceed by suit at law or in equity to collect all amounts due on the Collateral, or to foreclose Credit Agent’s Lien on and sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(10) Proceed against Borrower on the Warehousing Notes.
(11) Retain all excess proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Collateral (“Liquidation Proceeds”), and apply them to the payment of the Obligations under Section 11.12(c).
10.2(d) Neither Credit Agent nor any Lender will incur any liability as a result of the commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral at any public or private sale or other disposition. Borrower waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against Credit Agent or any Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, or was less than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Warehousing Advances, accrued and
unpaid interest on those Warehousing Advances, and unpaid fees, even if Credit Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. Borrower agrees that any sale of Collateral under the terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other disposition of Collateral arranged by Borrower, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
10.2(e) Borrower acknowledges that Mortgage Loans are collateral of a type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations and that Mortgage-backed Securities are collateral of a type that is customarily sold on a recognized market. Borrower waives any right it may have to prior notice of the sale of Pledged Securities, and agrees that Credit Agent or any Lender may purchase Pledged Loans and Pledged Securities at a private sale of such Collateral.
10.2(f) Borrower specifically waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal that Borrower has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or adopted after the date of this Agreement, and any right to require Credit Agent or any Lender to (1) proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies against the Collateral in any particular order or (3) pursue any other remedy within its power. Neither Credit Agent nor any Lender is required to take any action to preserve any rights of Borrower against holders of mortgages having priority to the Lien of any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral or to preserve Borrower’s rights against other prior parties.
10.2(g) Credit Agent or a Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold or enforce the Lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral, including payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Credit Agent or a Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement of this Agreement, together with interest on those amounts at the Default Rate, from the time paid by Credit Agent or a Lender until repaid by Borrower, are deemed to be principal outstanding under this Agreement and the Warehousing Notes.
10.2(h) No failure or delay on the part of Credit Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy. No single or partial exercise by Credit Agent or any Lender of any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, precludes any other or further exercise of that right, power or remedy by Credit Agent or any Lender, or Credit Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations to the extent permitted by law. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
10.2(i) Borrower grants Credit Agent a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s computer programs, other programs, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling any of the Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all other agreements related to the foregoing inure to Credit Agent’s and Lender’s benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.
10.3 Insufficiency of Proceeds
If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of the sale, disposition or other enforcement rights with respect to the Collateral and payment in full of all Obligations (applied in accordance with Section 11.12(c)), Borrower is liable for the deficiency. Nothing herein shall require Credit Agent or Lenders to look to all or any portion of the Collateral prior to, or in lieu of, pursuing any other right or remedy, any or all of which may be pursued in any order and at any time, including at the same time.
10.4 Credit Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact
Borrower appoints Credit Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, the Warehousing Notes and the other Loan Documents and taking any action and executing any instruments that Credit Agent deems necessary or advisable to accomplish that purpose. Borrower’s appointment of Credit Agent as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Credit Agent may give notice of its security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to any Person, either in Borrower’s name or in its own name, endorse all Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities payable to the order of Borrower, change or cause to be changed the book-entry registration or name of subscriber or Investor on any Pledged Security, prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with any item of Collateral or receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing payment on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities and give full discharge for those transactions. The foregoing appointment shall be effective immediately with respect to ministerial matters, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to all other matters.
10.5 Right of Set-Off
Borrower hereby grants to Credit Agent and each Lender a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Credit Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody safekeeping or control of Credit Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of Credit Agent or such Lender, and their respective successors and assigns or in transit to any of them, other than third-party custodial accounts maintained by Borrower at Credit Agent or any Lender. If Borrower defaults in the payment of any Obligation or in the performance of any of its duties under the Loan Documents, Credit Agent or any applicable Lender may, without Notice to or demand on Borrower (which Notice or demand Borrower expressly waives), set-off, appropriate or apply any property of Borrower held at any time by Credit Agent or any applicable Lender, or any indebtedness at any time owed by Credit Agent or any applicable Lender to or for the account of Borrower, against the Obligations, whether or not those Obligations have matured. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE CREDIT AGENT OR ANY APPLICABLE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH NON-CUSTODIAL DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
End of Article 10
11. THE CREDIT AGENT AND THE LENDERS
11.1 Appointment
Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Bank of America as Credit Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Credit Agent to take such actions, exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or conferred upon the Credit Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Credit Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Section 11. The Credit Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall it have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Credit Agent. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Credit Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall have any rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions hereof.
11.2 Duties of Credit Agent; Administration of Loan by Credit Agent
The Credit Agent shall be responsible for administering the Loan on a day-to-day basis. In the exercise of such administrative duties, the Credit Agent shall use the same diligence and standard of care that is customarily used by the Credit Agent with respect to similar loans held by the Credit Agent solely for its own account.
11.3 Delegation of Duties
The Credit Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder or under the Loan Documents. The Credit Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
11.4 Exculpatory Provisions
Neither the Credit Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable to the Lenders for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Credit Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Lenders for or have any duty to the Lenders to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any of its officers or agents contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection therewith; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in, or the conditions of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) the state or condition of any properties of Borrower or any other obligor hereunder constituting Collateral for the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, or any information contained in the books or records of the Borrower; (iv) the
validity, enforceability, collectability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other certificate, document or instrument furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the validity, priority or perfection of any lien securing or purporting to secure the Obligations or the value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral.
11.5 Reliance by Credit Agent
The Credit Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without, limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Credit Agent. The Credit Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action. With respect to the Lenders, the Credit Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with any written request of the Required Lenders, and each such request of the Required Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act by the Credit Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Credit Agent shall not be required in any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is contrary to the Loan Documents or to applicable law, or without specific indemnification satisfactory to Credit Agent in its discretion.
11.6 Notice of Default
The Credit Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Credit Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Credit Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Credit Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Lenders. Credit Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. If a Lender shall have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall forthwith give Notice thereof to the Credit Agent. If the Credit Agent shall have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall forthwith give Notice thereof to each Lender and to Borrower.
11.7 Lenders’ Credit Decisions
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Credit Agent or any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Credit Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to funding any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
11.8 Credit Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification
The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Credit Agent, ratably in proportion to their respective Commitment Percentages, for (i) any out-of-pocket expenses not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Credit Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Credit Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Credit Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Credit Agent (or, subject to the last sentence of Section 11.3, of its agents or permitted delegatees), as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Credit Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Credit Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Credit Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
11.9 Credit Agent in its Individual Capacity
With respect to its Warehousing Commitment as a Lender, and the Warehousing Advances made by it and the Warehousing Note issued to it, the Credit Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Credit Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Credit Agent in its individual capacity. The Credit Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Credit Agent hereunder.
11.10 Successor Credit Agent
The Credit Agent may resign at any time by giving forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Credit Agent, and, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to approve such successor Credit Agent, provided further, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Credit Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within forty-five (45) days after the retiring Credit Agent’s giving notice of resignation then the retiring
Credit Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Credit Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Credit Agent hereunder by a successor Credit Agent, such successor Credit Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Credit Agent, and the retiring Credit Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Credit Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Credit Agent hereunder.
11.11 Duties in Case of Enforcement
In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Credit Agent may, and shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Credit Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Credit Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure of mortgages, the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Required Lenders. The Credit Agent shall be fully protected with respect to the Lenders in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Required Lenders may direct the Credit Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Credit Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Credit Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Credit Agent reasonably believes the Credit Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Credit Agent may, in its discretion, but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing the Obligations, including, but not limited to, petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Notes, other than through the Credit Agent.
11.12 Respecting Loans and Payments
11.12(a) Nature of Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein.
11.12(b) Payments to Credit Agent. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loan or the Warehousing Notes shall be made to the Credit Agent by the Borrower or any other obligor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Warehousing Notes and this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Credit Agent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly to distribute to each Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made (if received prior to 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day), such Lender’s proportionate share of each such payment in immediately available funds excluding Liquidation Proceeds which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 11.12(c), below. The Credit Agent shall upon each distribution promptly notify the Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the Credit Agent under the first sentence of this Section shall constitute a payment by the Borrower to each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s proportionate share of such payment, and any such payment to the Credit Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment by the Borrower to the Credit Agent without regard to whether or when the Credit Agent makes distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the Credit Agent from Borrower is insufficient to pay both all accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Credit Agent shall first apply such payment to all outstanding interest of the Borrower until paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all principal of Borrower then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each Lender accordingly.
11.12(c) Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Credit Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:
First: To the Credit Agent, towards any fees and any expenses for which the Credit Agent is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not theretofore paid to the Credit Agent.
Second: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been reimbursed for all expenses which such Lenders have previously paid to the Credit Agent and not theretofore paid to such Lenders.
Third: To all Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such Lenders under the Loan, with each Lender applying such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement first against the outstanding principal balance due to such Lender under the Loan and then to accrued and unpaid interest due under the Loan.
Fourth: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loan including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Fifth: To any applicable Lender (including the Credit Agent), or applicable Affiliate thereof, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lender or Affiliate as a result of any breach of any Hedging Arrangement specifically hedging Borrower’s interest bearing obligations under this Agreement and of which Hedging Arrangement Credit Agent had been provided Notice (and all details thereof) prior to its establishment.
Sixth: To the Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim such Liquidation Proceeds.
11.12(d) Adjustments. If, after Credit Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Credit Agent in respect of the Loan, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Credit Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, each Lender shall, at Credit Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to Credit Agent, together with the Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Credit Agent with respect to such payment or application.
11.12(e) Sharing of Payments. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Warehousing Notes held by such Lender, proceedings against Borrower at law or in equity, or proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Warehousing Notes of the Borrower held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Warehousing Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will give Credit Agent prompt Notice thereof, and will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Warehousing Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
11.12(f) Distribution by Credit Agent. If in the opinion of the Credit Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under the Warehousing Notes or
under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Credit Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Credit Agent is to be repaid, each person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Credit Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such persons as shall be determined by such court.
11.12(g) Delinquent Lender.
(1) If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to make available to Credit Agent its pro rata share of any Warehousing Advances, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”), or, unless subject to a bona fide dispute shall fail or refuse to abide by any other of its obligations under this Agreement and, in any of the foregoing circumstances such failure or refusal is not cured within ten (10) days after receipt from the Credit Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Credit Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Warehousing Advances, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
(2) The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, (pro rata, based on the respective Warehousing Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer
such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Credit Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Credit Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(3) In the event that the non-delinquent Lenders elect not to acquire the Future Commitment, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may either (i) demand that the Delinquent Lender, and upon such demand the Delinquent Lender shall, promptly assign its Commitment Percentage of the Loan to an Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.13(a) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Delinquent Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Delinquent Lender, or (ii) pay to the Delinquent Lender the aggregate principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Delinquent Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Delinquent Lender, whereupon the Delinquent Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Credit Agent and the Delinquent Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Delinquent Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Credit Agent, such Delinquent Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Assignee. The exercise by Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expenses and at no cost or expense to the Credit Agent, the Delinquent Lender or any of the other Lenders.
11.12(h) Holders. The Credit Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Warehousing Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Credit Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Warehousing Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Warehousing Note or of any Warehousing Note or Warehousing Notes issued in exchange therefor.
11.13 Assignment and Participation

11.14(b) Deemed Consent or Approval.

The Credit Agent may (but shall not be required to)
include in any such notice, printed in capital letters or boldface type, a legend substantially to the following effect:
“THIS COMMUNICATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE RECEIPT OF THIS COMMUNICATION SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEEMED APPROVAL BY THE ADDRESSEE OF THE ACTION REQUESTED BY THE BORROWER OR THE COURSE OF CONDUCT PROPOSED BY THE CREDIT AGENT AND RECITED ABOVE,”

12.2(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to pay promptly: (i) all the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Credit Agent and each Lender for preparation of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers, or other modifications thereto; (ii) the reasonable fees, expenses, and disbursements of counsel to Credit Agent and each Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers, or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iii) all other actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Credit Agent and each Lender in connection with the establishment of the facility, the syndication of the Warehousing Commitment and the negotiation, preparation, and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers, or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (iv) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of Credit Agent or a Lender and the fees and costs of appraisers, brokers, investment bankers or other experts retained by Credit Agent or any Lender) incurred by Credit Agent and each Lender in connection with (x) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against Borrower or any other Person, or the administration thereof, (y) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and (z) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to Credit Agent’s or any Lender’s relationship with either Borrower, except to the extent arising out of such Person’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The covenants of this Section shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of amounts owing with respect to the Warehousing Notes.

12.2(b) Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Credit Agent, Lenders and their respective parents, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents (“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of

If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is declared to be illegal or unenforceable in any respect, that provision is null and void and of no force and effect to the extent of the illegality or unenforceability, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Agreement or such other Loan Document.
