Agreements
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereto agree as follows:
Article 1
DEFINED TERMS
Section 1.1 Defined Terms.
(a) All capitalized terms defined in the Repurchase Agreement and used, but not defined differently, in this Agreement have the same meanings here as there.
(b) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Administrative Questionnaire” means a form sent by the Administrative Agent to an assignee in accordance with clause (iv) of Section 8.5(b).
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Buyer, (b) an Affiliate of a Buyer or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Buyer.
“Available Commitment” means, with respect to any Buyer, the excess (if any) of (x) such Buyer’s Commitment over (y) the sum of the amounts funded by such Buyer and outstanding in respect of Transactions.
“Buyer’s Swing Line Purchase Price” means the relevant Buyer’s Purchase Price Share of a Transaction initially funded as a Swing Line Transaction.
“Commitment” means, for any day, the maximum amount for which a Buyer is committed on that day to enter into Transactions with the Sellers pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, on its terms and subject to its conditions. The Commitments for the Buyers are as set forth on Schedule 1, as it may be updated, amended and restated by Administrative Agent from time to time.
“Custodial Assets Schedule” means a schedule of Purchased Mortgage Loans held by the Administrative Agent.
“Declining Buyer” is defined in Section 2.1(b).
“Exception Mortgage Loan” is defined in Section 6.2(h).
“Facility Reduction Date” shall have the meaning given to such term in that certain Third Amendment to Side Letter dated as of the Effective Date by and between Sellers and Administrative Agent.

“Participant” is defined in Section 8.5(a).

On any day, the Buyers will each own an undivided interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, both principal and accrued interest, and a corresponding undivided interest in all Mortgage Assets and all rights to the Mortgage Assets equal to that Buyer’s undivided ownership interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, that bears the same ratio to all Purchased Mortgage Loans then held by Administrative Agent (as agent and representative of Buyers) as that Buyer’s aggregate outstanding Purchase Price bears to the Aggregate Purchase Price outstanding for all Buyers, subject to the following adjustment: if at any time or times, any Buyer fails to fund any of its Purchase Price Share of any Transaction or fails to fund the re-funding of any Swing Line Transaction and one or more of the other Buyers at its option funds it, then:
(a) the respective ownership interests in the Transactions of both (1) the Declining Buyer and (2) the Buyer (or Buyers) that paid the corresponding amount for such Purchase Price Share(s), shall be proportionately decreased and increased, respectively, to the same extent as if their respective Commitments were changed in direct proportion to the unreimbursed balance outstanding from time to time thereafter of the amount so funded;
(b) the Declining Buyer’s share of all future distributions of any payments and prepayments on the Transactions and any fees paid by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be paid Pro Rata among such other Buyers in accordance with their respective unrecovered amount paid on account of such Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share to the Buyer(s) that so funded such Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share until all such funding Buyers have been fully repaid the amount so funded; and
(c) such adjustment shall remain in effect until such time as the Buyer(s) that funded such Purchase Price Share have been so fully repaid.
If no other Buyer funds the Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share, then the Pro Rata ownership interest in the Transactions of the Buyers shall be changed, in that case so that each Buyer’s Pro Rata ownership interest in the Transactions is equal to the ratio of that Buyer’s aggregate outstanding Purchase Price to the Aggregate Purchase Price (for all Buyers). Notwithstanding the change in the Buyers’ Pro Rata ownership interests in the Transactions due to any Buyer’s failure to fund its Purchase Price Share of any Transaction(s), such failure to fund shall not diminish any Buyer’s funding obligation for its Purchase Price Shares of any subsequent Transactions.
“Purchase Price Share” means the ratio of (a) a Buyer’s Commitment to (b) the aggregate of the Commitments of all Buyers.
“Replacement Buyer” means the Buyer who is replacing the Retiring Buyer in accordance with Section 5.3.
“Required Buyers” means, for any day, the Buyers with aggregate Commitments evidencing fifty-one percent (51%) or more of (a) the aggregate Commitments if on that day the Buyers are committed to enter into Transactions under the Repurchase Agreement or (b) the Aggregate Purchase Price if on or after that day the Buyers’ Commitments have expired or have been terminated and have not been reinstated; provided, that (i) the Commitment of any Declining Buyer shall not be included in determining the consent of Required Buyers hereunder, and (ii) “Required Buyers” shall include at least two (2) Buyers unless all Buyers other than the consenting Buyer are Declining Buyers.
“Retiring Buyer” is defined in Section 5.3(c).
“Settlement Account” means the account described in Section 3.3(a).
“Swing Line Commitment” means Chase’s commitment to enter into Swing Line Transactions pursuant to Article 3.
“Swing Line Repurchase Date” means, with respect to a Swing Line Transaction, the Business Day next following the day that the Swing Line Transaction was entered into but in no event later than the Termination Date.
“Swing Line Transaction” means Transactions that the Sellers will enter into with Chase to initially fund the Sellers’ daily Purchase Price requirements for Transactions under the Repurchase Agreement.
Article 2
COMMITMENTS TO ENTER INTO TRANSACTIONS
Section 2.1 Commitment to Enter into Transactions.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred under the Repurchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent, as agent and representative of Buyers, agrees to enter into Transactions with Sellers up to the Facility Amount. The Buyers’ respective Commitments are set forth on Schedule 1. Each Buyer shall be obligated to fund only that Buyer’s own Purchase Price Share of any Transaction requested, and no Buyer shall be obligated to the Sellers, the Administrative Agent or any other Buyer to fund a (i) greater share of any Transaction or (ii) a share in excess of such Buyer’s Available Commitment, notwithstanding any contrary inference of the provisions of the penultimate grammatical paragraph of Section 1 of the Side Letter.
(b) No Buyer shall be excused from funding its applicable Purchase Price Share of any Transaction merely because any other Buyer has failed or refused to fund its Purchase Price Share of that or any other Transaction. If any Buyer fails to fund its Purchase Price Share of any Transaction or of the re-funding of any Swing Line Transaction (a “Declining Buyer”), (i) the Administrative Agent as a Buyer (in its sole and absolute discretion) may choose to fund the Purchase Price Share of the Declining Buyer, or (ii) the Administrative Agent as a Buyer and the other Buyers who are willing to do so shall have the right (but no obligation, except as provided in Section 3.3(c) below with respect to a failure to refund a Swing Line Transaction) to fund the Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share in the proportion that the Commitment of each bears to the sum of the Commitments of all Buyers that have funded (or are funding) their own Purchase Price Shares of that Transaction.
(c) Regardless of whether the other Buyers fund the Purchase Price Share of the Declining Buyer, the respective ownership interests of the Buyers in the Transaction shall be adjusted Pro Rata as described in the definition thereof.
(d) Should the Administrative Agent fund the Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share of any Transaction, then the Declining Buyer shall have the obligation to the Administrative Agent, the Sellers and the other Buyers to deliver such amount to the Administrative Agent in collected funds on the next Business Day.
(e) Notwithstanding that multiple Buyers are purchasing Purchase Price Shares of the Transactions entered into under the Repurchase Agreement, all Transactions shall be deemed a single Transaction and all of the Mortgage Assets shall be security for all of the Obligations thereunder.
Section 2.2 Expiration or Termination of the Commitments. Unless extended in writing or terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement, the Buyers’ Commitments to enter into Transactions under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including Chase’s Swing Line Commitment) shall automatically expire at the close of business on the Termination Date, without any requirement for notice or any other action by the Administrative Agent, any of the Buyers or any other Person.
Section 2.3 Request for Increase in the Facility Amount.
(a) If the Sellers shall request an increase in the Facility Amount in accordance with Section 1 of the Side Letter, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain increased Commitments from existing Buyers, new Commitments from prospective new Buyers or such combination thereof as the Administrative Agent shall elect, to achieve such requested increase; each Buyer’s decision whether to increase its Commitment shall be in such Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall (i) first offer the opportunity to each then-existing Buyer to proportionately increase its Commitment before offering prospective new Buyers the opportunity to join as Buyers, and (ii) will next offer the opportunity to the then-existing Buyers who have agreed to increase their Commitments to further proportionately increase them to include any Commitment increase offered to but not accepted by any of the other then-existing Buyers.
(c) If the increase in the Facility Amount is achieved in whole or in part (whether by some or all of the existing Buyers’ increasing their Commitments, written joinder in the Repurchase Agreement by a New Buyer or New Buyers, or both), then (i) the Pro Rata ownership interest in the Transactions of each Buyer (if any) that does not proportionately increase its Commitment shall automatically be reduced and adjusted proportionately and (ii) Schedule 1 shall be updated and the updates executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Sellers and each of the Buyers and shall automatically supersede and replace the then-existing corresponding schedule for all purposes. The amount and Buyers offering any Facility Amount increase shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Article 3
SWING LINE COMMITMENT
Section 3.1 Swing Line Commitment. In addition to its Commitment under Section 2.1, Chase agrees to enter into Swing Line Transactions with the Sellers in amounts that do not on any day exceed the Maximum Swing Line Purchase Price for purposes of initially entering into Transactions under the Repurchase Agreement (excluding the initial Transaction for the repurchase from Chase of purchased mortgage loans then held by Chase under the Prior Chase-only MRA and their purchase by Administrative Agent as agent and representative of Buyers, as described in Section 33(b) of the Repurchase Agreement, which shall be funded by all Buyers). The rights and obligations of Chase set forth in this Section 3.1 shall not modify the rights and obligations of Chase in its capacity as a Buyer.
Section 3.2 Swing Line Transactions. Each requested Transaction (other than said initial Transaction) shall be initially funded by Chase as a Swing Line Transaction, provided that:
(a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after funding of such Swing Line Transaction;
(b) after such funding, Chase’s aggregate Purchase Price would not exceed its Commitment;
(c) the Maximum Swing Line Purchase Price would not be exceeded; and
(d) neither the Sellers nor Chase is aware of any reason why the requested Swing Line Transaction cannot or will not be fully funded by the Buyers according to their respective Purchase Price Shares on the Swing Line Repurchase Date.
Section 3.3 Re-funding of Swing Line Transactions.
(a) By 10:00 AM, Houston time, on the Swing Line Repurchase Date, Administrative Agent will deliver written notice to each Buyer stating the amount of such Buyer’s Swing Line Purchase Price for the Swing Line Transaction funded on the immediately preceding Business Day and the amount due from each Buyer to Administrative Agent to pay such Buyer’s Swing Line Purchase Price to Chase (such amount due being such Buyer’s Swing Line Purchase Price net of the sum of such Buyer’s Pro Rata share of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential Payments and other payments theretofore received by Administrative Agent from Sellers, or from Takeout Investors or others for Sellers’s account, and not previously paid or credited by Administrative Agent to such Buyer), and each Buyer will wire such amount by 1:00 PM, Houston time, on such Swing Line Repurchase Date to the Administrative Agent by federal funds wire transfer to such account as Administrative Agent shall specify (the “Settlement Account”).
(b) Each Swing Line Transaction shall be re-funded on its Swing Line Repurchase Date by the Administrative Agent’s paying over to Chase out of the Settlement Account and/or the Funding Account, and Chase’s applying against such Swing Line Transaction, an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price funded by Chase in such Swing Line Transaction less Chase’s own Purchase Price Share of such Transaction.
(c) The other Buyers shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to timely purchase their respective Purchase Price Shares of each Swing Line Transaction and when they have done so each Swing Line Transaction will be converted to an ordinary Transaction by the Administrative Agent; provided that no Buyer shall be required to purchase its Purchase Price Share of any Swing Line Transaction to the extent that such purchase would result in such Buyer having an outstanding Purchase Price in excess of its Commitment. In addition to the foregoing, if at the time such Swing Line Transaction was funded, Chase reasonably believed that no Default or Event of Default had occurred and was then continuing, the other Buyers shall remain unconditionally and irrevocably obligated (subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) to timely fund their respective Purchase Price Shares of the Swing Line Transaction, irrespective of whether in the meantime any Default or Event of Default has occurred or been discovered, and irrespective of whether in the meantime some or all of the Buyers’ Commitments have lapsed, expired or been canceled, rescinded or terminated with or without cause, or have been waived, released or excused for any reason whatsoever. If any Buyer nonetheless fails to fund its Purchase Price Share of the Swing Line Transaction, upon Chase’s request, each other Buyer shall fund, in addition to its own Purchase Price Share thereof, that fraction of the Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share whose numerator is such Buyer’s Commitment and whose denominator is the sum of the Commitments of all Buyers other than such Declining Buyer; provided that no Buyer shall be required to fund any portion of a Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share that would result in such Buyer having an aggregate outstanding Purchase Price in excess of its Commitment.
(d) All accrued Price Differential on Swing Line Transactions shall be due and payable by the Sellers to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to Chase) on the later of (x) the fifteenth (15th) day of the next month (with the first Price Differential payment due August 15, 2015) or (y) two (2) Business Days after the Administrative Agent bills the Sellers for such accrued Price Differential.
Article 4
DISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS
Section 4.1 Pro Rata Distributions. All payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Sellers pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement and the Side Letter (including, without limitation, Non-Usage Fee, Price Differential and the Repurchase Price, but excluding fees provided for in the Fee Letter, which shall belong solely to Chase) shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Buyers Pro Rata in accordance with their respective ownership interests in the Transactions or as otherwise may be expressly provided in the Repurchase Agreement or Side Letter. By 10:00 AM, Houston time on the Business Day next following a Business Day when the Administrative Agent receives any such payments, their amounts and each Buyer’s Pro Rata share of them shall be described in a report delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Buyers, and the Buyers’ Pro Rata shares of such payments shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Buyers by wire transfers initiated by the Administrative Agent before 1:00 PM (Houston time) on that same day, either directly to the Buyers or to such account at another financial institution as is designated from time to time by a Buyer in writing.
Article 5
THE BUYERS
Section 5.1 Buyers’ Cooperation. The Buyers agree to cooperate among themselves and with the Administrative Agent and from time to time upon the Administrative Agent’s request, to execute and deliver such papers as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as lead buyer and servicer, to effectively administer and service the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Transactions in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement.
Section 5.2 Buyers’ Sharing Arrangement. Each of the Buyers agrees that if it should receive any amount (whether by voluntary payment, realization upon security, the exercise of the right of set-off or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the Repurchase Price of or Price Differential on the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Transactions, or of any fees or expenses owing by Sellers to Buyers under the Repurchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, of an amount that with respect to the related sum or sums received (or receivable) by the other Buyers is in greater proportion than that Buyer’s Pro Rata ownership of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Transactions, then such Buyer receiving such excess amount shall purchase from the other Buyers an interest in the Obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Buyers in such excess amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Buyer, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price of such participation interest restored to the extent of such recovery; and provided further that the provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not apply to any of Chase’s fees under the Fee Letter.
Section 5.3 Buyers’ Acknowledgment.
(a) Each Buyer other than Chase hereby acknowledges that Chase has made no representations or warranties with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that Chase shall have no responsibility (in its capacity as a Buyer, the Administrative Agent or in any other capacity or role) for:
(i) the collectability of the Purchased Mortgage Loans; or
(ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Purchased Mortgage Loans or other Mortgage Assets or any property at any time subject to Transactions or otherwise covered by the Transaction Documents; or
(iii) any recital, statement, representation or warranty of the Sellers or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the Repurchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in any other writing at any time furnished by or on behalf of any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection therewith; or
(iv) the legality, validity, enforceability, or any legal effect of any of the Transaction Documents, or any insurance, bond or similar device purportedly protecting any obligation to the Buyers or any Purchased Mortgage Loans or other Mortgage Assets; or
(v) the financial condition of any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the status, health or viability of any industry in which any of them is involved, the prospects for repayment of the Transactions or the effectiveness of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents (including the financial covenants, tests and hedging requirements) or any aspect of their implementation or administration at any time to reduce or control risks of any type, to produce returns, profits, yields or spreads or to reduce or control losses; or
(vi) the truthfulness, accuracy or completeness of any information at any time supplied or to be supplied in connection with any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or otherwise with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any other Mortgage Assets, or any source of equity or other financing for any of such companies, or whether any such information is current or meets the requirements of the Transaction Documents; or
(vii) any failure of any Seller or any other obligor under the Repurchase Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents to perform any of its obligations thereunder.
(b) Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Buyer, and based on the financial statements and other information furnished by any Seller, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and such other documents and information as such Buyer deems necessary or appropriate (all of which such Buyer has obtained and reviewed to enable it to make the decision described in Section 5.3(b)(i)), such Buyer:
(i) has made its own complete analysis of the credit quality of each Seller and its Subsidiaries and the Underwriting and Acquisition Guidelines, and its own decision to make its Commitment and enter into the Repurchase Agreement, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;
(ii) will continue, until the Transactions are repurchased and such Buyer’s Commitment has terminated, to make its own credit analysis and its own decision to take or not to take any action in connection with the Transactions, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and
(iii) will, until all Purchased Mortgage Loans in all Transactions are repurchased and such Buyer’s Commitment has terminated, maintain current and complete credit information on the Sellers and update, revise and review for itself the credit quality of each Seller and its Subsidiaries and the Transactions and their documentation.
(c) Compensation Claim; Replacement of a Buyer or Termination of Repurchase Agreement. If any Buyer (or one of its Participants) becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section 8 of the Repurchase Agreement, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, in the event any Buyer becomes a Declining Buyer or any Buyer (or one of its Participants) becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section 8 of the Repurchase Agreement (in either case, herein referenced to as a “Retiring Buyer”) (i) the Sellers may seek to replace such Retiring Buyer or (ii) the Sellers may elect to terminate the Repurchase Agreement by giving an irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying as the termination date a date no earlier than sixty (60) days, and no later
than ninety (90) days after the date of the notice, and on the termination date so specified, provided that the Obligations (including the Non-Usage Fee accrued through such termination date) are then fully paid and satisfied. The replacement of a Retiring Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be effective on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of a notice to the Retiring Buyer and each other Buyer through the Administrative Agent, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) The Replacement Buyer(s) shall pay to the Retiring Buyer an amount equal in the aggregate to the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of the Retiring Buyer, together with all accrued and unpaid Price Differential thereon, and (y) the Retiring Buyer’s Pro Rata share of any accrued and unpaid fees and other Obligations owing under the Repurchase Agreement.
(ii) The Sellers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Retiring Buyer an amount equal to all obligations owing to the Retiring Buyer by the Sellers (other than those obligations of the Sellers owing but not yet due that are referred to in this Section 5.3(c)).
(iii) The Retiring Buyer shall assign all of its rights, obligations and liabilities under the Transaction Documents to a Replacement Buyer approved by the Sellers and the Administrative Agent (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the consent of the Sellers shall not be required if (A) the Replacement Buyer is a Buyer (including permitted assignees thereof); (B) the assignee is an Affiliate of a Buyer; (C) the assignee is an Approved Fund or (D) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided further that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required if the assignee is (A) a Buyer (including assignees thereof); (B) an Affiliate of a Buyer or (C) an Approved Fund; provided further that (1) no such assignment shall result in a Buyer having an aggregate Commitment of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); and (2) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to consent to there being more than a total of ten (10) Buyers (a participant is not a Buyer).
(iv) The Retiring Buyer and the Replacement Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereof and the Replacement Buyer, if it is not a current Buyer, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
Upon such assignment, the Retiring Buyer shall have no further right or obligation with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to and assumed by the Replacement Buyer, the Replacement Buyer shall be a Buyer for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Commitments shall be adjusted appropriately. Each Replacement Buyer that is a New Buyer shall become a Buyer and the Retiring Buyer shall cease to be a Buyer; provided that this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a Retiring Buyer with respect to any Transactions or other actions taken by such Retiring Buyer while it was a Buyer and the obligations of the Sellers under Section 16 of the Repurchase Agreement shall survive with respect to such Retiring Buyer. The Sellers agree to execute such papers and agreements as are reasonably necessary to substitute the Replacement Buyer for the Retiring Buyer, including documents necessary to protect all liens and security interests of the Replacement Buyer.
