Sellers set forth in Schedule 2.2(b),
any real property owned by a Seller (other than rights under the Horsham Lease
Agreements), any Lease Agreements not included in the Purchased Real Property
Leases or any other Property that is not an Acquired Asset (such Properties of

(c) On and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and subject to Article IX
hereof), the Purchaser will, effective as of the Closing, assume and become
responsible for, and thereafter pay, perform or discharge when due, all of the
Assumed Liabilities.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.2 or any other provision hereof to the contrary,
the Sellers expressly covenant and agree that the Purchaser shall assume only
the Assumed Liabilities and shall not accept, assume, agree to pay, perform or
otherwise discharge, satisfy or be liable for any other Liabilities of the
Sellers (the “Excluded

foregoing, “Excluded Liabilities” include, without limitation, (i) all
Liabilities and obligations of any of the Sellers under, arising out of, in
respect of or related to (A) Excluded Assets, (B) Indebtedness,
(C) Legal Proceedings or Orders, (D) Taxes (except to the extent

prepared and delivered to the Purchaser an updated Schedule 1.1(i)
(including any other applicable schedule expressly cross-referenced therein) of
Acquired Assets, as of a date no more than five (5) Business Days prior to the
Closing Date. Such updated schedules shall reflect solely those
assets in respect of the Mortgage Business that (i) are of the type set
forth in the definition of “Acquired Assets” in Article I hereof that
provide for updating in accordance with this Section 2.2(e), and
(ii) are (y) acquired or assumed or (z) disposed of or
discharged, in each case, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1. On the
second Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause to be

21
SECTION
2.3. Consideration.
(a) The
consideration for the Acquired Assets (the “Purchase Price”)
payable to Parent (for itself and as agent for the other Sellers) shall be equal
to (i) $490,000,000 minus the Earnings Adjustment Amount (the “Base Amount”), (ii)
plus the Accruals, (iii) minus the Servicing Adjustment Amount, (iv) minus
the Retention Adjustment Amount (v) minus the June Data Tape Adjustment
Amount. The Purchase Price shall be paid as set forth in
Sections 2.3(b) and 2.4.
(b) On and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the
Purchaser shall remit to the Parent (for itself and as agent to the other
Sellers) an amount equal to the Base Amount plus the amount of the Estimated
Adjustment, if the amount of the Estimated Adjustment is a positive number (or
minus the amount of the Estimated Adjustment, expressed as a positive number, if
the amount of the Estimated Adjustment is a negative number), as
follows:
(i) $75,000,000
shall be paid by delivery to Parent of the DUS Note;
(ii) an amount
equal to the Dynex Xxxxxx Xxx Note Principal Amount shall be paid to Parent
(A) in the event that Xxxxxx Mae assures the Purchaser that Xxxxxx Xxx
shall not seek recourse against the Purchaser for any Liabilities in respect of
the Dynex Xxxxxx Mae Loans under the Dynex Xxxxxx Xxx Contract, by wire transfer
to a bank account specified in writing by Parent at least two (2) Business Days
prior to the Closing Date, and (B) otherwise, by delivery of the Dynex
Xxxxxx Mae Note;
(iii) an
amount equal to the Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac Note Principal Amount shall be paid to

Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (B) otherwise, by delivery of
the Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac Note;

Closing Date, and (B) otherwise, by delivery of the Holdback Note;
and
(v) the

22
SECTION
2.4. Adjustment
Amount.
(a) The
“Adjustment
Amount” (which may be a positive or negative number) will be equal to the
amount determined by subtracting the absolute amount of the Closing Adjustment
(as hereafter defined) from the Estimated Adjustment. If the
Adjustment Amount is positive, the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by wire
transfer by the Sellers to an account specified in writing by the
Purchaser. If the Adjustment Amount is negative, the difference
between the Closing Adjustment and the Estimated Adjustment, expressed as a
positive number, shall be paid by wire transfer by the Purchaser to an account
specified in writing by the Sellers. Within three (3) Business Days
after the calculation of the Closing Adjustment becomes binding and conclusive
on the Parties pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Sellers or the Purchaser,
as the case may be, shall make the wire transfer payment provided for in this
Section 2.4(a). The “Closing Adjustment”
means an amount (which may be a positive or negative number) equal to the result
of (A) the Accruals (B) minus the Servicing Adjustment Amount
(C) minus the Retention Adjustment Amount (D) minus the June Data Tape
Adjustment Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, there shall be no duplication of adjustments to the Purchase Price
under Article II and indemnification under Article VIII shall not be
available for a Loss to the extent that such Loss is fully reimbursed by an
adjustment under Article II.
(b) The
Sellers and the Purchaser shall (or, in the event they do not agree, they shall
cause Xxxxxxx to) deliver to the Purchaser and the Sellers, no later than three
(3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, their or its (as applicable) good
faith calculation, in reasonable detail and accompanied by sufficient
information reasonably necessary to allow the Parties to verify such
calculation, of the amount of the Estimated Accruals, the Estimated Retention
Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Servicing Adjustment Amount, and Estimated June
Data Tape Adjustment Amount based upon, among other things, the Pre-Closing Data
Tape and a review of the June Data Tape.
(c) As soon
as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days following
the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the
Purchaser a draft calculation of the Accruals, the Retention Adjustment Amount,
the Servicing Adjustment Amount and the June Data Tape Adjustment Amount (the
“Draft
Adjustment”), in reasonable detail and accompanied by sufficient
information reasonably necessary to allow the Purchaser to verify such
calculation.
(d) If within
twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of the Draft Adjustment and the
other information described in Section 2.4(c), the Purchaser has not given the
Sellers written notice of its objection thereto (which notice shall state the
basis of any such objection in reasonable detail), then the Draft Adjustments
calculated by the Sellers shall constitute the amount of the Accruals, the
Retention Adjustment Amount, the Servicing Adjustment Amount and the June Data
Tape Adjustment Amount for purposes of the Closing Adjustment and be binding and
conclusive on the Parties and be used in computing the Adjustment
Amount.
23
(e) If the
Purchaser gives the Sellers such notice of objection on or prior to the
twentieth (20th) Business Day following Purchaser’s receipt of the Draft
Adjustments and the other information described in Section 2.4(c), the
Sellers and the Purchaser shall attempt to resolve their differences with
respect to the calculation of the Accruals, the Retention Adjustment Amount, the
Servicing Adjustment Amount and the June Data Tape Adjustment Amount within ten
(10) Business Days of the Sellers’ receipt of the Purchaser’s objection notice
(the “Closing
Resolution Period”), and any resolution by them as to any disputed
amounts shall be binding and conclusive. The Sellers and the
Purchaser shall submit any amounts or issues remaining in dispute to a firm of
nationally recognized independent public accountants (the “Independent
Accountants”) selected by the Parties within five (5) days after the
expiration of the Closing Resolution Period for resolution. If
Sellers and Purchaser are unable to agree on the Independent Accountants, then
each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand,
shall have the right to request the American Arbitration Association to appoint
Independent Accountants who shall not have had a material relationship with the
Sellers, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates within the past two
(2) years. Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by the
Independent Accountants, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary
indemnities. If amounts or issues are submitted to the Independent
Accountants for resolution:
(i) the
Sellers and the Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Independent Accountants such data, documents and information relating to the
disputed amounts or issues as the Independent Accountants may reasonably request
and are available to that Party or its agents and shall be afforded the
opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to
the disputed amounts or issues and to discuss them with the Independent
Accountants;
(ii) the
determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be
delivered to both the Sellers and the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the
submission to the Independent Accountants of the amounts or issues remaining in
dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used
in the computation of the Adjustment Amount;
(iii) The
Independent Accountants will be instructed that (A) they may only consider
those items and amounts which the Sellers and the Purchaser have disputed within
the time periods and on the terms specified above, and (B) they must
resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; and
(iv) the
Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will each bear
fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants for
such determination.
SECTION
2.5. Guaranty. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including this Section
2.5), the Limited Guarantors, jointly and severally,
24
hereby
irrevocably guarantee (the “Limited Guarantee”)
to the Sellers (a) all of the obligations and liabilities of the Purchaser that
are to be performed by the Purchaser under this Agreement from the date of this
Agreement through the Closing, including any of Sellers’ Losses and remedies
(including specific performance and injunctive relief) resulting or arising from
any breaches thereof, and (b) the punctual payment, when and as due, of the
Purchase Price, including any payments due under the DUS Note, the Dynex Xxxxxx
Xxx Note, the Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac Note, or the Holdback Note, any Adjustment
Amount due to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4, and the Purchaser
Termination Fee (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Each Limited Guarantor agrees that the Sellers
may enforce the Limited Guarantee without the necessity of first exhausting
remedies against the Purchaser in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Limited
Guarantors do not waive rights, setoffs, counterclaims and other defenses that
the Purchaser may have in respect of Guaranteed Obligations (including failure
of any condition in Section 6.1 to be satisfied) and if Purchaser is
relieved of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Limited Guarantors shall be
similarly relieved of their obligations with respect thereto (except any legal
discharge or defense arising from bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or
liquidation of the Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Limited Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect upon the date a Limited Guarantor’s obligations under the Limited
Guarantee are irrevocably satisfied and paid in full.
SECTION
2.6. Purchase Price
Allocation. Not later than seventy-five (75) days after the
Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a draft
allocation schedule (the “1060 Allocation
Schedule”) pursuant to which the Purchase Price and the Assumed
Liabilities (plus any other relevant items, and subject to appropriate
adjustments in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code) (such amount, as
adjusted, the “Total
Consideration”) shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets for all
applicable Tax purposes in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and
the Treasury regulations thereunder. The Parties agree that for
purposes of such allocation and all other applicable Tax purposes, (a) the
Put Option Fee shall be treated as option premium and, in the event the Put
Option is exercised, shall be a reduction in the Total Consideration, and
(b) the consideration allocable to the Purchased Equity Interest shall
include only cash, and not any portion of the DUS Note, the Dynex Xxxxxx Xxx
Note, the Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac Note, or the Holdback Note. Promptly
following such delivery, the Parties shall in good faith work to resolve any
disagreements and to finalize a mutually agreeable 1060 Allocation Schedule,
which shall be, if so mutually agreed, final and binding on the
Parties. To the extent the 1060 Allocation Schedule becomes final and
binding on the Parties, all Tax Returns filed by the Purchaser and Sellers shall
be prepared consistently with such allocation. If no mutual agreement
is reached within sixty (60) days, then the 1060 Allocation Schedule shall not
be binding on either party. The 1060 Allocation Schedule may be
modified, as agreed to by the Parties, to reflect any adjustments to the Total
Consideration.

5.2. Access to
Information.
(a) Between
the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and at
reasonable times without significant disruption to the businesses of the Sellers
or the Indian Subsidiary, the Sellers will give, and Parent will cause the
Indian Subsidiary to give, the Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable
access to all offices, properties, facilities, personnel, books and records,
Contracts, and documents of or pertaining to the Mortgage Business (and shall
provide the Purchaser with reasonable access to Business Employees), and will
permit the Purchaser to make and will fully cooperate with regard to such
inspections as it may reasonably require. The Purchaser will treat
and hold all information it receives from either of the Sellers or the Indian
Subsidiary in the course of the reviews contemplated by this Section 5.2 as
Confidential Information and will not use any of the Confidential Information
except in connection with this Agreement, and, if this Agreement is terminated
for any reason whatsoever, will return to the Sellers or the Indian Subsidiary,
as applicable, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential
Information that are in its possession.
(b) Following
the Closing, each Party shall afford the other Party and its Representatives
during normal business hours, reasonable access to the Mortgage Business Books
and Records in its possession with respect to periods on or prior to the Closing

access may be reasonably required by the requesting Party in connection with
(i) compliance with the requirements of Law or any Governmental Authority
or Mortgage Program Sponsor, (ii) any actual or threatened Legal
Proceedings, (iii) the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, the Accruals,

amounts under the DUS Note, the Dynex Xxxxxx Xxx Note, the Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac

46
agrees
for a period extending three (3) years after the Closing Date (or for such
longer period as such Party is required to keep books, records and other data
under Law) not to destroy or otherwise dispose of any such books and records
unless such Party shall first offer in writing to surrender such books, records
and other data to the other Parties and such other Parties shall not agree in
writing to take possession thereof during the ten (10) day period after such
offer is made.
(c) If, in
order to properly prepare its financial statements and/or any documents or
reports required to be filed with any Governmental Authority or Mortgage Program
Sponsor, or to fulfill its obligations hereunder, it is necessary that a Party
be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the
Mortgage Business not referred to in subsection (b) above, and such information,
documents or records are in the possession or control of any other Party, such
other Party shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to furnish or make
available such information, documents or records (or copies thereof) at the
recipient’s reasonable request and out of pocket cost and
expense. Any information obtained by either Party in accordance with
this paragraph shall be treated as Confidential Information and held
confidential by such Party in accordance with Section 5.8 and
Section 5.10.
SECTION
5.3. All Reasonable
Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided,
each of the Parties hereto agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper and advisable under applicable Laws and this Agreement
to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including satisfaction of the Closing conditions
set forth below, and shall not take or fail to take any commercially reasonable
action that could reasonably be expected to result in the non-fulfillment of any
such Closing conditions. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Parties agree to commence promptly following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement such commercially reasonable efforts with respect to
obtaining all Required Consents and Licenses, including those described in
Section 5.4, necessary to satisfy such Closing conditions. If at
any time after the Closing any further commercially reasonable action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including
the execution of additional instruments, the Parties shall take all such
necessary action without further consideration.
SECTION
5.4. Consents and Approvals;
Purchased Contracts.
(a) The
Parties will each cooperate with one another and use all commercially reasonable
efforts to, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
prepare all necessary documentation (including furnishing all information
required under the HSR Act or by the Mortgage Program Sponsors), to give any
notices to, to effect promptly all necessary filings and to obtain all necessary
Licenses, consents, approvals, Orders and authorizations of, or any exemptions
by, all third parties, Governmental Authorities and Mortgage Program Sponsors
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents or otherwise reasonably required in connection
therewith. Without limiting the generality of
47
the
foregoing, each of the Parties will file any notification and report forms and
related material that it may be required to file with the Federal Trade
Commission and the DOJ under the HSR Act, will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain a waiver from the applicable waiting period, and will make any
further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper, or advisable in
connection therewith, and comply at the earliest practicable date with any
request of additional information received from the Federal Trade Commission or
the Antitrust Division of the DOJ pursuant to the HSR Act. Each Party
will keep the other Parties apprised of the status of any inquiries made of such
Party by the Mortgage Program Sponsors or any Governmental Authority or members
of their respective staffs with respect to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(b) At the
Closing, effective as of the Closing Date, the Sellers shall assign to the
Purchaser all of their rights and obligations (to the extent constituting
Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities, respectively) under the Purchased
Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any
Purchased Contract is not assignable without the consent of a third party, this
Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment thereof
if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or
a default thereunder. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third parties to
the assignment of any such Purchased Contract to the Purchaser in all cases in
which such consent is or may be required for such assignment.
(c) For
purposes of this Agreement (including Section 5.3 and this
Section 5.4), neither “commercially reasonable
efforts” nor “commercially reasonable
actions” shall require the payment of any fees or financial
accommodations other than (i) customary regulatory filing fees and
(ii) fees or financial accommodations specifically required by this
Agreement (including Sections 5.4(g)(i) and 10.4) or any Transaction
Document.
(d) If any
such necessary Licenses, consents, approvals, Orders and authorizations of, or
any exemptions by, all third parties, Governmental Authorities and Mortgage
Program Sponsors shall not be obtained by the Closing, the Sellers and the
Purchaser shall cooperate in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for
the Purchaser (i) the ability to use the Licenses of Sellers to conduct the
Mortgage Business in the same manner and to the same extent as the same was
conducted prior to the date of this Agreement (taking into account the services
provided by Sellers under the Transition Services Agreement) and (ii) the
benefits and obligations intended to be assigned to and assumed by the Purchaser
under the relevant Purchased Contract or License, including enforcement for the
account of the Purchaser (and at the Purchaser’s expense) of any and all rights
of the Sellers against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or
cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise, provided that no such
arrangement shall be deemed to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the
Purchaser under this Agreement set forth in Sections 6.1(g) and
(i).
(e) Following
the Closing, in the event any amount due under a Purchased Contract or otherwise
to a Party in accordance with the terms of this
48
Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents is paid to another Party, such other Party
shall promptly remit such amount to the Party to which such amount was
due.
(f) In the
event of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Seller following the date
of this Agreement, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek
all required approvals, including the Bankruptcy Court Order, from the
applicable bankruptcy court of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents. The Purchaser agrees that it
will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Sellers to
assist in obtaining such required approvals.
(g) Purchaser
agrees and acknowledges that Sellers and/or their Affiliates are parties to
Contracts for products, materials and/or services that are used and/or sold by
or provided both to the Mortgage Business and to other businesses (the “Remaining Business”)
of Sellers and/or their Affiliates not included in the Mortgage Business
(collectively, the “Straddle
Contracts”). The Straddle Contracts that will be included in
the Purchased Contracts (including those Purchased Contracts relating to the
Purchased IT Systems) and assigned to Purchaser are designated with a “…”
on the applicable Sections of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Purchased Straddle
Contracts”). The Straddle Contracts that are not included in
the Purchased Contracts and will not be assigned by Sellers or their Affiliates
to Purchaser are listed on Section 5.4(g) of the
Sellers Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Retained Straddle
Contracts”). Purchaser, in the case of the Purchased Straddle
Contracts, and Sellers and their Affiliates, in the case of the Retained
Straddle Contracts, shall each use their respective commercially reasonable
efforts to take such commercially reasonable actions as may be reasonably
requested by the other party (the “Seeking Party”), and
to otherwise cooperate with such Seeking Party, in connection with such Seeking
Party’s efforts to enter into a separate agreement (or, with the mutual
agreement of the parties, an amendment) with the other party or parties to any
Straddle Contract (each such party, a “Vendor”) with respect
to the products, materials and/or services covered by such Straddle Contract as
they relate to or are used by the Mortgage Business, in the case of the Retained
Straddle Contracts, or the Remaining Business, in the case of the Purchased
Straddle Contracts. To the extent the Seeking Party is not able to
enter into a separate agreement, or the parties are unable to enter into a
mutually agreeable amendment, with any Vendor with respect to the products,
materials and/or services covered by a Straddle Contract, including with respect
to Straddle Contracts for which products, materials and/or services are included
in the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), the
Purchaser, in the case of the Purchased Straddle Contracts, or the Seller, in
the Case of the Retained Straddle Contracts, shall, for a period not to exceed
twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide the Seeking Party with the rights and benefits under such
Straddle Contract to the same extent the Mortgage Business (in the case of the
Retained Straddle Contracts) or the Remaining Business (in the case of the
Purchased Straddle Contracts) enjoyed those rights and benefits prior to the
Closing (whether under the Transition Services Agreement or otherwise),
including obtaining such products, materials and/or services from the Vendor on
behalf of the Seeking Party
49
under
each Straddle Contract on the same terms as in effect as of the Closing (subject
to the Seeking Party’s agreement to bear, and bearing of, the related costs,
burdens and obligations of such Straddle Contract associated with obtaining such
rights and benefits for the account of the Seeking Party); provided, however, that the
Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall
(i) each pay or satisfy fifty percent (50%) of the consent, sublicening,
assignment and other one-time fees and costs incurred by Purchaser (in the case
of the Purchased Straddle Contracts) or the Sellers and their Affiliates (in the
case of the Retained Straddle Contracts) in connection with the foregoing, and
(ii) comply with all of the terms and conditions of each Straddle Contract
(as applicable) as if the Seeking Party were a party thereto to the extent
required for the applicable Purchaser (in the case of the Purchased Straddle
Contracts) or the Sellers and their Affiliates (in the case of the Retained
Straddle Contracts) to maintain the applicable Straddle Contract and to procure
the goods and/or services on behalf of the Seeking Party under each such
Straddle Contract.
(h)
(i)
Pursuant to the rights granted to Capmark Finance under Section 9.3 of the
Contribution Agreement (as hereinafter defined), Capmark Finance shall and
hereby does, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, transfer to Purchaser and
its Affiliates a continuing perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
unlimited use and unlimited user and user type, non-assessable, irrevocable
(except in the case of a material breach by Purchaser of this Agreement),
worldwide, fully-paid, non-sublicensable, multi-site and enterprise-wide license
(and sublicense with respect to third party software)
to: (a) use the Software (as defined below) and the related
documentation in the operation of the businesses of Purchaser and its
Affiliates, including to provide imaging services to third party customers of
Purchaser and its Affiliates; (b) at no additional cost, to transfer to,
and operate the Software on, a different operating system and/or on different
equipment in connection with the permitted used described in the preceding
clause (a); (c) make as many copies of the Software and related
documentation as Purchaser deems necessary for production, testing, disaster
recovery, disaster recovery testing, backup, training and education, development
and archival purposes, without expanding the permitted uses described in the
preceding clause (a); and (d) modify and adapt the Software, and to combine
the Software with third party software products, provided that such modified,
adapted and combined versions of the Software or derivative works created
thereby are used within the businesses of Purchaser and its
Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the term
“enterprise-wide” shall mean the right to use the Software within the entire
spectrum of business and operational activities relating to the businesses of
Purchaser and its Affiliates, now and in the future, directly or
indirectly. “Software” as used in this Section 5.4(h) shall mean
the Software (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement) assigned to
Epitome Systems, Inc. (f/k/a Business Process Technologies, Inc.) (“Epitome”) pursuant to
that certain Asset Contribution Agreement dated as of October 30, 2003 by and
between Epitome Systems, Inc. (f/k/a Business Process Technologies, Inc.) and
Capmark Finance, Inc. (f/k/a GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation), as amended
(the “Contribution
Agreement”), including any enhancements thereto as to which Seller has
the right to license, in both object and source code, and shall include any and
all tools, utilities, monitoring software
50
and other
items used by Epitome to support and maintain the foregoing
Software. Purchaser and its Affiliates acknowledge and agree that the
license transferred herein shall at all times be subject to the Covenant Not to
Compete set forth in Section 9.1 of the Contribution
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(x) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Capmark Finance will also retain
its license to the Software as provided for in the Contribution Agreement, and
(y) the license to Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be independent of the
license to Capmark Finance and shall not terminate upon any termination of the
license to Capmark Finance.
(ii) Capmark
Finance expressly waives and disclaims any right or remedy it may have to
de-install or disable the Software or any portion thereof without due process of
law. Furthermore, Capmark Finance represents and warrants that it
will not knowingly (which, for purposes herein, shall include any publicly known
Disabling Codes in which there are patches or fixes to correct or ameliorate
such Disabling Codes) or intentionally incorporate or transmit to Purchaser any
virus, timer, clock, counter, time lock, time bomb, Trojan horse, worm, file
infector, boot sector infector or other limiting design, instruction or routine
including surveillance software or routines or data gathering or collecting
software or devices that could, if triggered, erase data or programming, collect
data in a surveillance or other capacity, have an adverse impact on the
Software, or cause the Software to become inoperable or otherwise incapable, in
whole or in part, of being used in the full manner for which the Software was
intended to be used (a “Disabling Code”),
including any limitations that are triggered by, as applicable: (a) the
Software being used or copied a certain number of times, or after the lapse of a
certain period of time; (b) the Software being installed on or moved to a
central processing unit or system that has a serial number, model number or
other identification different from the central processing unit or system on
which the Software originally was installed; or (c) the occurrence or lapse
of any similar triggering factor or event. If Capmark Finance
introduces a Disabling Code into the Software in breach of this warranty, at its
sole cost and expense, Capmark Finance shall, as applicable: (1) take all
steps necessary to test for the presence of Disabling Codes; (2) furnish to
Purchaser a new copy of the Software without the presence of Disabling Codes;
(3) install and implement such new copy of the Software at Purchaser; and
(4) restore any and all imaged and other data and programming lost by
Purchaser as a result of such Disabling Code. Capmark Finance makes
no other representations or warranties, whether express, implied or statutory,
regarding or relating to any of the Software or otherwise regarding or relating
to this Agreement, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
(iii) The
Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and cause Epitome
to execute a license agreement for the Software with Purchaser containing
commercially reasonable terms and conditions. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions of this
Section 5.4(h) shall be effective as of the Closing, and shall not be
diminished or affected in the event Purchaser and Epitome fail to enter into
such license agreement.
51
SECTION
5.5. Public
Announcements. At all times at, before and after the Closing,
the Purchaser and the Sellers will consult with each other and will mutually
agree (the agreement of each Party not to be unreasonably withheld) upon the
content and timing of any press release or other public statements (including
statements and releases to employees) with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or
make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement, except
(a) as may be required by any Party by applicable Law or by obligations
pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any stock
exchange regulations or (b) as part of any communications or disclosures
necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement, including the making of
any required filings with (or participating in meetings with) any Governmental
Authority; provided, however, that the
Purchaser and the Sellers will give prior notice to the other Party of the
content and timing of any such press release or other public statement required
by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any
securities exchange or any stock exchange regulations, or communications or
disclosures under the preceding clause (b). Each Party will also
obtain the other Party’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld) of any press release to be issued immediately following the Closing
announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
SECTION
5.6. Disclosure
Supplements. From time to time prior to the Closing, the
Sellers will supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any
matter which, if existing or occurring at or prior to the date of this
Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the
Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in the
Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate by an event occurring
after the date of this Agreement; provided that, except to the
extent expressly provided in Section 2.2(e), the delivery by Sellers of any
supplement, amendment or notice pursuant to this Sections 5.6 or 5.13 shall
not be effective to (a) limit or otherwise modify or affect (i) the
representations or warranties of the Sellers, (ii) the conditions to the
obligations of the Purchaser hereunder or (iii) the remedies available
hereunder to the Purchaser, or (b) increase or expand the Assumed
Liabilities from what they would have been prior to any such supplement,
amendment or notice.
SECTION
5.7. Employee Benefit
Matters.
(a) Employees. The
Purchaser agrees to offer employment to each of the employees of the Sellers and
their Affiliates (other than the Indian Subsidiary) who provides services
exclusively or primarily with respect to the Mortgage Business and who is listed
on Section 5.7(a)
of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Business Employee”),
for employment with the Purchaser or its Affiliates effective on the Closing
Date. Each such offer shall be made no later than ten (10) days prior
to the Closing Date, and shall provide for (i) base salary and retention
bonus opportunity which are no less favorable as the respective Base Salary
Amount and unpaid Retention Bonus Amount for such Business Employee and
(ii) benefits under employee benefit plans that are comparable in the
aggregate to those currently provided by the Sellers to the Hired Employees
based on the aggregate cost of such benefits to any particular Seller
with
52
respect
to the Hired Employees as of the Closing Date (the “Purchaser
Plans”). The terms and conditions of each such offer shall not
require additional service or performance conditions beyond those required under
the terms of each Hired Employee’s existing agreement; provided, however, that
Purchaser may adjust its offer in any respect that it deems necessary or
appropriate in order to comply with code Section 409A, in its sole
discretion. The Purchaser shall include in any such offer of
employment a provision to the effect that acceptance of such offer shall
constitute a resignation of employment with the Sellers and their Affiliates
effective immediately before the Closing Date without any obligation on the part
of any of the Sellers or their Affiliates to provide Retention Bonus Amounts to
the accepting Business Employee under a Benefit Plan or otherwise in connection
with such Business Employee’s termination of employment with the Sellers.
The Sellers and the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate so that the Purchaser
can fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.7(a). Each Business
Employee that accepts an offer of employment with the Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 5.7(a) shall be deemed a “Hired
Employee. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree to reasonably
cooperate to provide such information (including information relating to
co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for health benefits provided
to Hired Employees) and work in good faith to effectuate an orderly and
efficient transition of benefits (including welfare benefits) provided to the
Hired Employees on and following the Closing Date. Nothing in this
Section 5.7 shall require the continuation by the Sellers or the Purchaser of
any particular benefit plan or program.
(b) If a
Hired Employee is employed by the Purchaser on the date prior to such Hired
Employee’s unpaid Retention Bonus Amount becoming payable to such Hired Employee
pursuant to the terms and conditions applicable to such Retention Bonus Amount,
the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay to such Hired Employee such Hired
Employee’s unpaid Retention Bonus Amount when due and payable as set forth on
Schedule 1.1(ix). If
the Purchaser shall fail to pay a Hired Employee’s full unpaid Retention Bonus
Amount pursuant to the preceding sentence or any portion of such Retention Bonus
Amount is forfeited or ceases to be payable for any reason, the Purchaser shall
reimburse the Sellers for 56.7% of such unpaid portion of the Retention Bonus
Amount applicable to such Hired Employee within thirty (30) days after the due
date of such payment; provided that such
reimbursement need not be made until the Retention Adjustment Amount becomes
binding upon the Parties pursuant to Section 2.4.
(c) 401(k)
Plan. The Purchaser agrees to take such actions as may be
necessary, effective no later than ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing
Date, to permit the Hired Employees to make a directed transfer or a rollover of
a distribution (including in each case outstanding loan balances) from the
Sellers’ 401(k) plan to the Purchaser’s 401(k) plan.
(d) Service. The
Purchaser shall recognize and provide credit for, and cause its Affiliates and
any Purchaser Plan (including any such plans or arrangements providing vacation,
paid time off, sick pay, severance, disability or retirement benefits but
excluding, in any event, any equity incentive plans or arrangements) to
recognize and provide credit for, all service of each Hired Employee with the
Sellers and its subsidiaries
53
and their
respective predecessors prior to the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility
and vesting under such Purchaser Plan to the extent past service was recognized
for such Hired Employee under the comparable plans of any Seller immediately
prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 5.7(d) shall be construed to require crediting of service that would
result in duplication of benefits.
(e) Vacation. Effective
as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall assume and honor, or cause its
Affiliates to honor, the vacation and paid time off of the Hired Employees with
respect to service with the Sellers or their Affiliates as of immediately prior
to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Seller and its or their Affiliates from and against any Liabilities with
respect to such accrued vacation or accrued time off (and any related payment
obligation of the Sellers or their Affiliates), resulting directly or indirectly
from the termination of employment of a Hired Employee on or after the Closing
Date.

Accounts. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser
shall assume, honor and be solely responsible for the Hired Employees’ elections
for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs with respect to the

the Closing Date, the aggregate amount withheld by the Sellers or their
Affiliates from the Hired Employees’ compensation with respect to the Spending
Accounts during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs exceeds the
amount reimbursed to the Hired Employees in such calendar year, the Sellers
shall remit the amount of the excess to the Purchaser promptly following the
Closing Date. In the event that, as of the Closing Date, the
aggregate amount withheld by the Sellers or their Affiliates from the Hired
Employees’ compensation with respect to the Spending Accounts during the
calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs is less than the amount
reimbursed to the Hired Employees in such calendar year, the Purchaser shall
remit to the Sellers the amount of such unfunded reimbursements promptly
following the Closing Date.
(g) WARN. The
Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless from, and none of the
Sellers shall have any responsibility with respect to, any Liabilities arising
under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 and similar
state and local rules, statutes and ordinances (collectively, “WARN”) as a result,
in whole or in part, of any terminations of employment of Business Employees
occurring on or following the Closing Date. The Sellers shall
indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from, and the Purchaser shall not have
any responsibility with respect to, any Liabilities arising under WARN resulting
from any actions taken by either Seller prior to the Closing (determined without
regard to any employment terminations occurring on the Closing Date or
thereafter).
(h) Third Party
Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 5.7 shall
(i) give any Person who is not a party to this Agreement any right to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 5.7,
(ii) be construed as an amendment of any Benefit Plan or Non-U.S. Benefit
Plan, or (iii) confer upon any current
54
or former
employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time
by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of
employment.

shall not directly or indirectly cause, solicit, induce or encourage any
employees of the Sellers, the Indian Subsidiary or the Mortgage Business to
leave such employment, provided that nothing in this
paragraph (b) shall prohibit the Purchaser from soliciting Business Employees in

INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION
8.1. Indemnification.
(a) The
Sellers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Purchaser and
its Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Purchaser
Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all losses, liabilities, claims,
obligations, deficiencies, demands, judgments, damages, interest, fines,
penalties, assessments, costs and expenses (including costs of investigation and
defense and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees (but excluding any punitive
or consequential except to the extent required to be paid to a third party)),
whether or not involving a third party claim (individually, a “Loss” and,
collectively, “Losses”):
(i) based
upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the
representations or warranties made by a Seller in this Agreement or in any
certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct at and
as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing Date;
(ii) based
upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other
agreement on the part of a Seller under this Agreement; or
66
(iii) arising
out of, based upon or relating to any Excluded Liability or any Excluded
Asset.
(b) The
Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates,
successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller
Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Losses:
(i) based
upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the
representations or warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any
certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct at the
date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date;
(ii) based
upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other
agreement on the part of the Purchaser under this Agreement; or
(iii) arising
out of any Assumed Liability.
(c) An
indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Sections 8.1(a)(i) or
8.1(b)(i): (i) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the
indemnified parties and otherwise indemnifiable thereunder based upon,
attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the representations or
warranties to be true and correct exceeds $4,000,000 (the “Basket”) and, if the
aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Basket, the indemnifying party shall
be required to pay the entire amount of all such Losses and (ii) for any Losses,
individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $200,000,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Basket and Cap shall not limit indemnification for Losses
arising from a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections
3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.7 of this Agreement (in the case of Losses incurred by
a Purchaser Indemnified Party) or Sections 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement (in
the case of Losses incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party).
(d) For
purposes of Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(b)(i), any materiality or Material
Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations and warranties in this
Agreement or certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall be
disregarded.
(e) The right
to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted,
or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired), at any time, whether
before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing
Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any
condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the
performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not
affect the right to indemnification or any
67
other
remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
(except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided in such
waiver).
(f) In the
event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand
shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be
sought under this Article VIII (“Third Party Claim”),
the indemnified party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of
any Third Party Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this
indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The failure of
the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim
shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s
obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying
party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such
failure. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the
indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented
by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal
with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it
hereunder; provided that the indemnifying
party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its obligation
to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder. If the
indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal
with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it
hereunder, it shall within five (5) days of the indemnified party’s written
notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of
the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to
do so; provided
that the
indemnifying party must conduct its defense of the Third Party Claim actively
and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this
regard. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to
any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified
party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify
the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified
party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third
Party Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim,
then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the
expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic
bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any
Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at its own expense, in
the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so
requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the
reasonable view of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict or potential
conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that
would make such separate representation advisable; and provided further, that the
indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel
(plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection
with any Third Party Claim. Each party hereto agrees to provide
reasonable access to each other party to such documents and information as may
reasonably be requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or
settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything
in
68
this
Article VIII to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the
indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle
or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of
any judgment unless the claimant (or claimants) and such party provide to such
other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third
Party Claim. After any final decision, judgment or award shall have
been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have
been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have
arrived at a mutually binding agreement, in each case with respect to an Third
Party Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying
party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to
this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall pay
all of such remaining sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire
transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the
date of such notice.
(g) A claim
for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be
asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided,
however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the
indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with
this Article VIII.
(h) The
parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII
as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax
purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding
sentence, any indemnification payment under Article VIII is determined to be
taxable to the party receiving such payment by any Taxing Authority, the paying
party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any net
increased Tax cost incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any
Losses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such
Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding,
judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to
such Taxes). The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is
provided under this Agreement shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax
benefit actually realized by the indemnified party arising from incurring or
paying such Loss.
(i) Except
with respect to claims against the Limited Guarantors pursuant to Section 2.5,
claims relating to fraud, claims for specific performance or injunctive relief,
remedies available under other Transaction Document, rights of Purchaser set
forth in the DUS Note, the Dynex Xxxxxx Mae Note, the Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac Note,
and the Holdback Note to set-off against amounts payable under such notes, and
resolution by Independent Accountants pursuant to Section 2.4 of certain
matters relating to the Adjustment Amount, from and after the Closing Date,
indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged
breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or
any covenant or agreement in this Agreement and the Parties shall not be
entitled to any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature
whatsoever in respect thereof, all of which the Parties hereby
waive. Notwithstanding
69
anything
to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in the
event that a Bankruptcy Order has been issued on or prior to the Closing Date,
the Sellers’ maximum monetary liability under this Agreement shall be
$10,000,000, such amount being in addition to and without limiting rights of the
Purchaser (A) set forth in the DUS Note, the Dynex Xxxxxx Mae Note, the
Dynex Xxxxxxx Mac Note, and the Holdback Note to set-off against amounts payable
under such notes and (B) under the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall limit the Sellers’ liability to pay any Adjustment Amount due to
the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.4 or any other amounts or fees payable
by a Seller pursuant to Sections 2.4(e)(iv), 5.4, 5.7(f), 5.12 and
10.4.

Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be
abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by mutual
consent of the Sellers and the Purchaser; or
(b) by either
the Sellers or the Purchaser:
(i) if a
court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have
issued a Final Order or ruling or taken any other action (which Order or ruling
the Parties shall use their best efforts to lift), in each case permanently
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;
(ii) if the
Closing shall not have occurred within the Closing Period; or
(iii) if the
Put Option shall not have been validly exercised in accordance with this

(d) by the
Sellers at any time prior to the Put Termination Date provided that the Put Option
shall not have been validly exercised in accordance with this Agreement prior to

breach of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of
the Closing to occur on or before such date.
SECTION
9.2. Procedure and Effect of

the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 9.1,
70

without further action by any of the Parties. If this Agreement is
terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall become null and void and no
Party shall have any liability or further obligation to any other Party to this
Agreement resulting from such termination except (a) that the provisions of
this Section 9.2 shall remain in full force and effect, (b) no Party waives
any claim or right against a breaching Party to the extent that such termination
results from the breach by a Party hereto of any of its representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Sellers
or the Purchaser may seek such remedies, including damages and/or specific
performance, against the other with respect to such breach as provided in this
Agreement, or, in the case of fraud or willful breach, as are otherwise
available at Law or in equity, and (c) the confidentiality provisions

and 4.2 shall survive the Closing without limitation (in each case, the “Survival Period”);

Agreement or any rights or obligations of any person under or by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon
strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be
deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or
times.

date of such termination the only condition or conditions set forth in
Section 6.1 that shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Purchaser)
is one or more conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a), Section 6.1(g),

RECEIVED, the undersigned, BERKADIA III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Berkadia”), hereby promises to pay to Capmark Finance Inc. (“Capmark”)
an amount, equal to the then-outstanding Principal Balance (as hereinafter
defined), on [FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF CLOSING DATE] (and/or on such later date(s),
all as and to the extent provided in paragraphs 2 and 5 below), in lawful money
of the United States of America. The Principal Balance outstanding on
the date hereof is $75,000,000, and such Principal Balance shall automatically
be reduced from time to time by (i) payments of principal under this Note
pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 5 below and (ii) reductions of the Principal
Balance pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 5 below.
1. Interest. Berkadia
shall pay interest on the Principal Balance from time to time outstanding from
the date of this DUS Note (this “Note”) through and including the Final Date (as
hereinafter defined), quarterly in arrears on the last day of each September,
December, March and June (the calendar quarter ending on each such date, a
“Quarterly Interest Period”) and on the Final Date, (or, if any such day is not
a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), on the next succeeding Business Day)
(each, a “Payment Date”), as follows:
(i) the
interest payable in respect of each Quarterly Interest Period (other than the
Quarterly Interest Period during which the Final Date occurs) shall equal 1.467%
times the weighted average Principal Balance outstanding during such Quarterly
Interest Period, determined taking into account all reductions to and payments
of such Principal Balance occurring during such Quarterly Interest Period (and,
in the case of the initial Quarterly Interest Period, prorated for a partial
Quarterly Interest Period if applicable); and
(ii) the
interest payable in respect of the Quarterly Interest Period during which the
Final Date occurs shall equal 1.467% times the weighted average Principal
Balance outstanding during such Quarterly Interest Period, determined after
taking into account all reductions to and payments of such Principal Balance
occurring during such Quarterly Interest Period (prorated for a partial
Quarterly Interest Period if applicable).
2. Principal. On
the Fifth Anniversary, there shall become due and payable hereunder a portion of
the then-outstanding Principal Balance equal to the positive excess, if any, of
(a) the outstanding Principal Balance hereunder on such Fifth
Exhibit A
- 1
Anniversary
minus (b) the Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount as of the Fifth Anniversary (as
set forth in the Defaulted/Troubled Loan Notice referred to
below). After the Fifth Anniversary, payments of outstanding
Principal Balance shall become due and payable from time to time as and to the
extent provided in paragraph 5 below.
3. Reductions in Principal
Balance Prior to Fifth Anniversary. On each Payment Date
(other than the Fifth Anniversary), the Principal Balance shall be reduced (but
not below zero) by an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the amount of
Credit Losses in respect of the DUS Loans and MultiTrak Loans during the
Quarterly Measurement Period immediately preceding such Payment Date, as
reflected in the related Credit Loss Notice referred to
below. Berkadia shall provide Capmark with written notice (each, a
“Credit Loss Notice”) within five (5) Business Days after the end of the
relevant Quarterly Measurement Period setting forth in reasonable detail the
Credit Losses for such Quarterly Measurement Period. Capmark shall be
entitled to dispute such Credit Loss Notice within five (5) Business Days of its
receipt of such Credit Loss Notice by delivering a written notice to Berkadia
(setting forth such disputes in reasonable detail) within such five (5) Business
Day period. If Capmark so disputes the amount of such Credit Losses,
the parties shall seek to resolve such dispute in good faith. The
parties agree that Xxxxxx Mae’s determination of (or any settlement agreed to by
Xxxxxx Mae and Berkadia as to) the Total Lender Loss or Approved Loss for any
DUS Loan or MultiTrack Loan shall be conclusive evidence thereof for purposes of
determining the amount of the Credit Losses in respect of such DUS Loans and
MultiTrak Loans. If it is determined that the actual Credit Losses in
respect of such Quarterly Measurement Period were less than the Credit Losses
set forth in the related Credit Loss Notice, then (i) Berkadia shall increase
the Principal Balance by ninety percent (90%) of the amount of such difference
(but only to the extent that the Principal Balance was actually reduced by such
difference pursuant to this paragraph 3), and (ii) Berkadia shall pay Capmark
the additional interest hereunder that would have been payable had the Principal
Balance used to calculate interest for the relevant Quarterly Interest Period
included such increased amount, plus interest on such additional interest from
the relevant Payment Date to the date when paid, prorated to the date of
payment.
4. Computation of
Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount as of Fifth Anniversary. On
the Fifth Anniversary, Berkadia shall deliver to Capmark written notice (a
“Defaulted/Troubled Loan Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the
Defaulted/Troubled Loans as of a date not earlier than the fifth (5th) Business
Day prior to the Fifth Anniversary, the basis for such MultiTrak Loan or DUS
Loan being treated as a Defaulted/Troubled Loan, and the principal amount and
accrued interest in respect of each such loan as of such date (all loans set
forth on the Defaulted/Troubled Loan Notice being hereinafter referred to as the
“Specified D/T Loans”), (ii) the Maximum Loss Amount and 90% Maximum Loss Amount
in respect of each such loan and (iii) the Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount as
of the Fifth Anniversary. Capmark shall have the right to dispute the
amounts set forth in such Defaulted/Troubled Loan Notice by delivering a written
notice to Berkadia (setting forth such disputes in reasonable detail) within
five (5) Business Days of Capmark’s receipt of such Defaulted/Troubled Loan
Notice. If Capmark disputes any such amounts, the parties shall seek
to resolve such dispute in good faith. If the parties are unable to
resolve such dispute, the dispute
Exhibit A
- 2
shall be
submitted to an arbitrator selected by each of the parties for
resolution. If it is determined that the actual Aggregate 90% Maximum
Loss Amount as of the Fifth Anniversary is less than the Aggregate 90% Maximum
Loss Amount set forth in the Defaulted/Troubled Loan Notice, then Berkadia shall
pay to Capmark the positive difference, if any, of (x) the principal payment
that would have been due hereunder on the Fifth Anniversary pursuant to the
first sentence of paragraph 2 had the actual Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount
been utilized in such computation minus (y) the principal payment due on the
Fifth Anniversary pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph 2 computed
utilizing the Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount as set forth on the
Defaulted/Troubled Loan Notice (plus interest on such difference, at the rate of
6% per annum, for the period from the Fifth Anniversary to the date of such
payment.)
5. Principal Payments After the Fifth
Anniversary. (a) Immediately upon any Final Determination with
respect to a Specified D/T Loan following the Fifth Anniversary, (i) the
Principal Balance shall be reduced by an amount equal to 90% of the Credit Loss
in respect of such Specified D/T Loan, determined based on such Final
Determination and (ii) the Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the 90% Maximum Loss Amount with respect to such Specified
D/T Loan. Within five (5) Business Days after any such Final
Determination following the Fifth Anniversary, there shall become due and
payable hereunder a portion of the then-outstanding Principal Balance
(determined after taking into account all previous reductions in the Principal
Balance) equal to the positive excess, if any, of (x) such then-outstanding
Principal Balance minus (y) the Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount (determined
after taking into account all previous reductions in such Aggregate 90% Maximum
Loss Amount).
(b) Immediately
upon any Specified D/T Loan either (i) being paid in full following the Fifth
Anniversary or (ii) not having been a Defaulted/Troubled Loan at any time during
any period of six (6) consecutive months following the Fifth Anniversary, the
Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the 90%
Maximum Loss Amount with respect to such Specified D/T Loan. Within
five (5) Business Days after any such Specified D/T Loan being paid in full or
no longer being a Defaulted/Troubled Loan, in either event following the Fifth
Anniversary, there shall become due and payable hereunder a portion of the
then-outstanding Principal Balance (determined after taking into account all
previous reductions in the Principal Balance) equal to the positive excess, if
any, of (x) such then-outstanding Principal Balance minus (y) the Aggregate 90%
Maximum Loss Amount (determined after taking into account all previous
reductions in such Aggregate 90% Maximum Loss Amount).
6. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used in this Note shall have the following meanings:
“Aggregate
90% Maximum Loss Amount” as of any date means the sum of the 90% Maximum Loss
Amounts with respect to all of the Specified D/T Loans, as such Aggregate 90%
Maximum Loss Amount may have been reduced prior to such date pursuant to

information sufficient for Berkadia to determine the Average Occupancy Rate as
of such date and, in Berkadia’s good faith judgment, such Average Occupancy Rate

Loss; and (ii) the aggregate amount of the proceeds from each insurance policy
providing coverage for such Credit Loss on such DUS Loan or MultiTrak Loan

recovers any net insurance proceeds referred to in clause (ii) above in respect
of losses included in the calculation of such Credit Loss, the Principal Balance
hereunder shall automatically be deemed increased by the extent to which such
Principal Balance reduction would not have occurred had such insurance proceeds
