THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this “First Amendment”), dated as of April 12, 2022, is made by and among Versity EquityCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EquityCo”), Versity EquityCo II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EquityCo II”, and together with EquityCo, the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”), the undersigned lenders (the “Lenders”), KHCA Funding LLC, as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), KHCA Funding LLC, as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (the “Collateral Agent”), Versity EquityCo Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Parent”), Versity EquityCo Parent II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New Parent”), Versity Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Sponsor”), and Versity Invest, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New Sponsor”), Xxxxx Xxxxxx (“Xxxxxx”), Xxxxx Xxxx (“Xxxx”) and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxxxx”).
WHEREAS, EquityCo, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent entered into that certain Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2021 (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the “Existing Loan Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent desire to amend the Existing Loan Agreement as provided for herein (the Existing Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, the “Amended Loan Agreement”);
WHEREAS, EquityCo entered into that certain Borrower Security Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2021 in favor of the Collateral Agent (the “Existing Borrower Security Agreement”) and EquityCo desires to amend the Existing Borrower Security Agreement as provided for herein;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx is the sole member of Original Sponsor, a sponsor and syndicator of equity interests in student and multi-family housing projects;
WHEREAS, Original Sponsor is the sole member of Original Parent;
WHEREAS, Original Parent is the sole member of EquityCo;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx are the chief executive officer and chief operating officer, respectively, of Original Sponsor, and their compensation as executives is based, in large part, upon the success of Original Sponsor’s syndication operations;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx have not been permitted to invest equity in Original Sponsor due to outstanding loan obligations of Original Sponsor that do not permit equity transfers in Original Sponsor;
WHEREAS, Original Sponsor makes fees from its syndication activities, as well as, to a much lesser degree, its equity investments in housing projects that it syndicates, and Xxxxxx is the sole beneficiary of such fees, net of expenses of Original Sponsor and profit sharing with Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx and other members of the management team of Original Sponsor;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx also separately earns material commissions from the sale of equity interests in the housing projects, which commissions are earned by Xxxxxx in his individual capacity and not in his capacity as the sole member of Original Sponsor;
WHEREAS, in order for Original Sponsor to acquire housing projects for syndication, Xxxxxx must guaranty certain obligations owed to acquisition lenders, which guaranties must remain outstanding during the entire term of the acquisition loans, which terms are typically between 7 and 10 years in length;
WHEREAS, absent Xxxxxx’x willingness to guaranty such loan obligations, Original Sponsor would not qualify to acquire housing projects for syndication, and unless Original Sponsor acquires housing projects for syndication, Xxxxxx would not have equity interests to sell for commissions;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx has indicated that he no longer wishes to guaranty such acquisition loan obligations, due to the length of the term of the obligations, but he desires to continue to sell equity interests in housing projects in order to continue to earn significant commissions on such sales;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx has requested that his management team, Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx, continue to acquire housing projects for syndication, and replace him as the guarantors on new acquisitions loans, in order to provide Xxxxxx with housing project equity interests that he can sell for commissions;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx is willing to forgo the fees he would earn on the syndication of equity interest in exchange for being relieved of the obligation to guaranty certain acquisition loan obligations, and in exchange for his management team’s willingness to guaranty acquisition loans in order to provide a future stream of equity interests he can sell for commissions;
WHEREAS, Original Sponsor presently obtains a portion of the funds required to acquire housing projects from the Lenders pursuant to the Existing Loan Agreement, which is guaranteed by Xxxxxx, Original Sponsor and Original Parent;
WHEREAS, the Lenders are presently unwilling to provide funds for housing project acquisitions to Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx based upon their credit alone, but have indicated a willingness to provide funds to Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx if each of Xxxxxx, Original Sponsor and Original Parent continues to co-guaranty the repayment of such funds;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx is willing to continue to co-guaranty all obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement, including all obligations under the Carve Out Guaranty (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement and as further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time);
WHEREAS, absent Xxxxxx’x willingness to continue to co-guaranty such obligations, Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx would not qualify for funds under the Amended Loan Agreement and as a result they would be unable to acquire large, quality housing projects, but instead would be limited to acquiring much smaller, less attractive housing projects that do not generate material syndication fees;
2 |
WHEREAS, the success of Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx in acquiring large first-class housing projects for syndication is of material benefit to Xxxxxx, who desires to continue to earn material commissions from the sale of equity interests in such first-class projects; and
WHEREAS, as a result of Xxxxxx requiring his management team to continue to acquire housing projects, Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx have formed New Sponsor, which is the sole member of New Parent, which is the sole member of EquityCo II, and which will be solely owned by Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxx, and which will continue to acquire housing projects for syndication;
WHEREAS, Xxxxxx’x willingness to continue to sell equity interest in housing projects acquired by New Sponsor and its subsidiaries is of material benefit to New Sponsor, as the prompt marketing and sale of equity interests is critical to the success of New Sponsor’s proposed syndication business; and
WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, each of Xxxxxx, Old Sponsor, Old Parent, EquityCo, Wettengel, Muro, New Sponsor, New Parent and EquityCo II is expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, from this First Amendment, the Amended Loan Agreement, any extensions of credit thereunder, and each other Loan Document.

9 |
12.5 Each Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may not be changed, amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally.
13. Conflicts. To the extent there may be a conflict between the terms of this First Amendment, on the one hand, and the Existing Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the other hand, the terms of this First Amendment shall control.
14. Governing Law. This First Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
15. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This First Amendment constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This First Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this First Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this First Amendment. Delivery of any executed counterpart of this First Amendment by facsimile or transmitted electronically in either a Tagged Image Format File (“TIFF”) or Portable Document Format (“PDF”) shall be equally effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this First Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart by facsimile TIFF, or PDF shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart of this First Amendment, but failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this First Amendment.
16. Payment of Expenses. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this First Amendment in accordance with Section 13.4 of the Amended Loan Agreement.

10 |
18. Severability. If any provision of this First Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this First Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
19. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this First Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (in each case, as permitted by Section 13.6 of the Amended Loan Agreement).

Section 14.5 Senior Mortgage Loan Estoppel. Borrower Borrowers shall (or shall cause any Owned DST (or its wholly owned Subsidiary) to), from time to time after request by Administrative Agent, use reasonable efforts to obtain from a Senior Mortgage Lender (to the extent an Owned DST (or its wholly owned Subsidiary) is the Borrower under the applicable Senior Mortgage Loan) such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by the applicable Owned DST (or its wholly owned Subsidiary) with the terms of the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents as may be requested by Administrative Agent, subject to any limitations set forth in the applicable Senior Mortgage Loan Documents. In the event or to the extent that a Senior Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as the Borrower Representative furnishes to Administrative Agent an estoppel executed by Borrower expressly representing to Administrative Agent the information requested by Administrative Agent regarding compliance by the Owned DST (or its wholly owned Subsidiary) with the terms of the Senior Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower hereby agrees to Borrowers hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent or Lenders based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to a Senior Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower.

(h) The Grantor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Grantor, the Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, obtain such agreements from third parties, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect or protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement with respect to any Collateral.

(e) The pledge of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral as all assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, or words of similar effect, creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment and performance when due of the Secured Obligations.
(f)The Grantor has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Agreement and this Agreement, to pledge the Collateral and to perform fully and completely all of its other obligations thereunder and hereunder.

(h) No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing (other than UCC financing statements) with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or any other entity is required for the borrowing of the Loan and the pledge by the Grantor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement and this Agreement by the Grantor or the performance by the Grantor of its obligations thereunder and hereunder.
(i) The execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement and this Agreement by the Grantor, and the performance by the Grantor of its obligations thereunder and hereunder, will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to the Grantor or any of its property, or the organizational or governing documents of the Grantor or any agreement or instrument to which the Grantor is a party or by which it or its property is bound.
(j) The Grantor has taken all action required on its part for control (as defined in Sections 8-106, 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC, as applicable) to have been obtained by Collateral Agent over all Collateral with respect to which such control may be obtained pursuant to the UCC.

(b)The Collateral, to the extent not delivered to or controlled by Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4, will be kept at those locations listed on Section II(D) of the Perfection Certificate delivered as of the most recent date, and the Grantor will not remove the Collateral from such locations without providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Collateral Agent. The Grantor will, prior to any change described in the preceding sentence, take all actions required by Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.
(c) For so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, the Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Collateral and the first priority lien and security interest of Collateral Agent therein against the claim of any person claiming against or through the Grantor, maintain and preserve such perfected first priority security interest and not take any action that would impair the perfection thereof.

(a) The Grantor hereby appoints Collateral Agent as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (but Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to the Grantor or any third party for failure to do so or take action). Such appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable. The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing or any other rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Grantor, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to accomplish the purposes hereof, including:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(ii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) above;
(iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Collateral Agent, with respect to any of the Collateral;
(iv) to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 10 hereof, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) to vote and give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral.
(c) If so requested by Collateral Agent, Grantor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to Collateral Agent at Grantor’s expense all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance or transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request. Following the repayment and performance of the Secured Obligations, Collateral Agent shall execute such documentation as is reasonable and customary to evidence the termination of the power to act as attorney-in-fact for Grantor.
163 |
8. Collateral Agent May Perform. If the Grantor fails to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor; provided, that Collateral Agent shall not be required to perform or discharge any obligation of the Grantor.
9. Reasonable Care. Collateral Agent shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any claims, the nature or sufficiency of any payment or performance by any party under or pursuant to any agreement relating to the Collateral or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise by Collateral Agent of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Grantor from the performance of any obligation on the Grantor's part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.
10. Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon the Grantor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to Grantor Borrower Representative at its notice address as provided in Section 17 hereof at least ten (10) days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, Collateral Agent may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations held by it as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither Secured Party nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
164 |
(b) Any cash held by Collateral Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part by Collateral Agent to the payment of expenses incurred by Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as Collateral Agent shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(c) If Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10, the Grantor agrees that, upon request of Collateral Agent, the Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
11. Security Interest Absolute. The Grantor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights of Secured Party and liens and security interests hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of the Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
165 |
(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligations or any related agreement or instrument;
(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;
(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;
(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;
(f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Grantor against Secured Party; or
(g) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loan or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Secured Party that might vary the risk of the Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Grantor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.
12. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and any provision in the Borrower Pledge Agreement, such provision of the Borrower Pledge Agreement shall control.
13. Continuing Security Interest; Further Actions. This Agreement shall create a continuing first priority lien and security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) subject to Section 14, remain in full force and effect until payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent obligations), (b) be binding upon the Grantor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of Secured Party and their successors, transferees and assigns; provided, that the Grantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any assignee of Secured Party’s interest in any agreement or document which includes all or any of the Secured Obligations shall become vested with all the applicable benefits granted to Secured Party herein.
166 |
14. Termination; Release. On the date on which all the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full (other than unasserted contingent obligations), Collateral Agent will, at the request and sole expense of the Grantor, (a) duly assign, transfer and deliver to or at the direction of the Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may then remain in the possession of Collateral Agent, together with any monies at the time held by Collateral Agent hereunder, and (b) execute and deliver to the Grantor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement.
15. Amendments, Etc. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Loan Agreement or herein, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom, shall be effective without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent and the Grantor. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
16. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Secured Party herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
