(c)   Article 3(b)(iii) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by

(d)   The following are hereby added to the Master Repurchase Agreement as Articles 3(gg) and 3(hh):

 

“(gg) Upon no less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Buyer, Seller may effectuate Starwood Pari Passu Reallocations with respect to Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets from time to time; provided that in no event shall Seller consummate more than two (2) Starwood Pari Passu Reallocations (it being acknowledged that Starwood Pari Passu Reallocations effectuated with respect to two (2) or more Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets on or about the same date shall be considered one transaction for purposes of the foregoing limitation) in any calendar month. If a Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation for any Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset results in an increase in the principal balance of such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, the applicable Seller may request that Buyer (i) increase the Maximum Purchase Price for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset to reflect such principal increase (a “SPP Maximum Purchase Price Increase”) (but in no event shall such Starwood Pari Passu Maximum Purchase Price Increase cause such Maximum Purchase Price to exceed the SPP Mortgage Loan Maximum Purchase Price for the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) and (ii) make an Additional Advance (an “SPP Additional Advance”) in a specified amount up to the Margin Excess for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset after giving effect to such Starwood Pari Passu Maximum

 

3

 

Purchase Price Increase. Any such SPP Additional Advance shall be subject to Buyer’s determination, in its commercially sole good faith discretion, that all of the following conditions have been satisfied (collectively, the “SPP Additional Advance Conditions”):

 

(i)   the applicable Seller shall have given Buyer not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation which notice shall include the then outstanding principal balance of the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, and the respective principal balances of the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest and Companion Interests both before and after giving effect to such Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, and the terms of same shall be acceptable to Buyer in its sole good faith discretion;

 

(ii)  the applicable Seller shall have delivered to Buyer copies of all amendments or modifications of the related Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement entered into in connection with the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, which amendments and modifications shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer in its sole good faith discretion;

 

(iii) no Margin Deficit equal to or greater than the Minimum Transfer Amount shall exist, no Force Majeure Event, Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such SPP Additional Advance, and no event shall have occurred that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; and

 

(iv) the Seller has satisfied the conditions and obligations with respect to entering into a new Transaction set forth in clauses (G) and (J) of Article 3(b)(iv).

 

Provided that the SPP Additional Advance Conditions are satisfied, Buyer shall pay to the applicable Seller the additional Purchase Price requested by such Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset up to an amount not to exceed the available Margin Excess for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Seller’s request therefor. Upon the funding of any such SPP Additional Advance, the Margin Excess (if any remains) shall be recalculated taking into account such increase in Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of any SPP Additional Advance transferred to a Seller be in an amount that would cause (A) the outstanding Purchase Price of the related Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, after giving effect to such SPP Additional Advance, to exceed the Maximum Purchase Price for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset as of the date of such SPP Additional Advance after giving effect to the applicable SPP Maximum Purchase Price Increase or (B) the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount. In connection with any such SPP Additional Advance, prior to the date of such SPP Additional Advance, the applicable Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Maximum Purchase Price Increase and such SPP

 

4

 

Additional Advance, and Buyer and the applicable Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth: (v) the new outstanding Purchase Price and Advance Rate with respect to such Transaction, (w) the then outstanding principal balance of the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, (x) the adjusted principal balances of the Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset and Companion Interests after giving effect to the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, (y) the SPP Mortgage Loan Maximum Purchase Price and (z) any other revised terms for such Transaction.

 

If a Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation for any Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset results in a decrease in the principal balance of such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, prior to the date of such Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, the applicable Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an amended and restated Confirmation setting forth: (v) the new outstanding Purchase Price and Advance Rate with respect to such Transaction, (w) the then outstanding principal balance of the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, (x) the adjusted principal balances of the Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset and Companion Interests after giving effect to the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, (y) the SPP Mortgage Loan Maximum Purchase Price and (z) any other revised terms for such Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, if any such decrease results in a Margin Deficit for such Purchased Asset, the applicable Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such Margin Deficit on or prior to the effective date of such Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in Article 4(a).

 

(hh) Seller may effectuate Starwood Pari Passu Conversions with respect to Purchased Assets from time to time; provided that in no event shall Seller consummate more than two (2) Starwood Pari Passu Conversions in any calendar month.

(ii)   the applicable Seller shall have delivered to Buyer copies of the related Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement entered into in connection with the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Conversion, which Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit II to

 

5

 

the Third Amendment and with such changes as may be acceptable to Buyer in its sole good faith discretion;

 

(iii)   no Margin Deficit equal to or greater than the Minimum Transfer Amount shall exist, no Force Majeure Event, Default or Event of Default exists or would result from any such SPP Additional Advance, and no event shall have occurred that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(iv)   the Seller has satisfied the conditions and obligations with respect to entering into a new Transaction set forth in clauses (G) and (J) of Article 3(b)(iv);

 

(v)    if the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan contains one or more participation interests with obligations to make future advances (each, a “Future Advance Pari Passu Participation Interest”), such Future Advance Pari Passu Participation Interests shall be transferred to Buyer in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; and and

 

(vi)   the related Mortgage Note shall have been delivered to Buyer or to the Custodian, and if the related Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest has been certificated, Seller has delivered to Buyer or the Custodian the original participation certificate evidencing such Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest. To the extent additional documents are delivered to Custodian relating to such Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest, Buyer shall have received an Asset Schedule and Exception Report (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) duly completed and with exceptions acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion in respect of the Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest.

 

In connection with any such SPP Pari Passu Conversion, prior to the Purchase Date of the related Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, the applicable Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an amended and restated Confirmation setting forth: (v) the new outstanding Purchase Price and Advance Rate with respect to such Transaction, (w) the then outstanding principal balance of the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, (x) the principal balances of the Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset and Companion Interests after giving effect to the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Conversion, (y) the SPP Mortgage Loan Maximum Purchase Price and (z) any other revised terms for such Transaction.

 

If a Starwood Pari Passu Conversion (and any associated reduction in the principal balance of related Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset from the principal balance of the Purchased Asset prior to such Starwood Pari Passu Conversion) results in a Margin Deficit for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, the applicable Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such Margin Deficit on or prior to the effective date of such

 

6

 

Starwood Pari Passu Conversion, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in Article 4(a).

 

In no event shall there be more than three (3) Transactions involving Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets outstanding under this Agreement at any time. In addition,  at all times, there shall be at least as many Purchased Assets subject to Transactions under this Agreement that are not Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets as there are Transactions involving Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets then outstanding under this Agreement (i.e., if as of any date there are three (3) Transactions involving Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets outstanding under this Agreement, there must also be at least three (3) Transactions involving Purchased Assets that are not Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets outstanding under this Agreement as of such date).

 

In the event any Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset shall fail to satisfy the parameters of a “Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest” as set forth in the definition thereof, such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset shall not be an Eligible Asset, and Seller shall repurchase such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset in the manner provided in Article 12(c) hereof.

 

If Buyer shall fail to approve any proposed Starwood Pari Passu Conversion or any proposed Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Seller’s request therefor delivered together with a draft of the related Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement or amendment of the related Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement to be entered into in connection with the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Conversion or Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, respectively, Sellers shall have the right to repurchase the affected Purchased Loan in accordance with the provisions of Article 3(f) hereof (other than the required notice to Buyer thereunder), without payment of any Exit Fee.”

 

(e)   Exhibit I to the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit I attached hereto.

 

(f)   Article 7(f) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby modified by adding the following immediately after the first (1st) sentence thereof:

 

“Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any holder of a Companion Interest, to enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of any Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer, such consent to be granted or denied in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion.”

 

(g)   Article 10 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby modified by (i) deleting the word “or” at the end of Article 10(i); (ii) deleting the “.” at the end of Article 10(j) and replacing the same with the phrase “; or” and (iii) inserting the following as Article 10(k):

 

“(k)   consent or assent to any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of any Starwood Pari Passu Participation Agreement, without the prior written

The transfer of the Future Funding Obligations may only be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. The Participation 1 Holder

 

8

 

shall cause any request by Borrower for a future funding under the Loan Agreement to be sent to the Future Funding Participant. Any advance made by the Future Funding Participant will increase the Participation 3 Principal Balance in the corresponding amount of such advance. In the event that all conditions under the Loan Agreement for a future advance under the Future Funding Obligations have been met by Borrower, then the Future Funding Participant will fund such advance in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and shall not require the consent of the Participation 1 Holder or the Participation 2 Holder to lend such future advance. In the event that Borrower shall have failed to satisfy a condition for a future advance under the Future Funding Obligations set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Future Funding Participant may determine to waive such condition and fund such future advance notwithstanding the failed condition without the consent of the Participation 1 Holder or the Participation 2 Holder.]

 

5.          Payments to Holders. (a) All amounts tendered by Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Loan (including, without limitation, payments received in connection with any guaranty or indemnity agreement), whether received in the form of monthly debt service payments, Prepayments, Prepayment Premiums, Exit Fees, Balloon Payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Advances, Penalty Charges, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain (other than any amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Loan Documents and proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Property or released to Borrower in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or the Loan Documents) shall be distributed by Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) and applied in the following order of priority (and payments shall be made at such times as are set forth herein):

 

(i)         first, to the Participation 1 Holder, the Participation 2 Holder and the Participation 3 Holder, up to the amount of any unreimbursed Costs paid by the respective Holders with respect to the Loan or the Property pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents including, without limitation, unreimbursed Advances;

 

(ii)        second, to the Holders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on their respective Participation Principal Balances at (x) the Interest Rate minus (y) the  Servicing Fee Rate;

 

(iii)       third, to the Holders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, in an amount equal to (i) any scheduled principal payment (including Balloon Payments) on the Loan and (ii) any Prepayment of the Loan, in each case to be applied in reduction of their respective Participation Principal Balances;

 

(iv)       fourth, to the Holders, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, any Prepayment Premium, to the extent actually paid; and

 

(v)        fifth, to the Holders, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, any default interest and Penalty Charges, in each case, to the extent actually paid, and any excess amount that is paid in respect of the Loan and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv).

 

9

 

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a)(i)-(v), all amounts collected on   the Loan that are payable as servicing fees, special servicing fees, indemnity obligations and other reimbursable amounts due under the Loan Documents, that are paid in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement to the Servicer shall be deducted prior to any allocations to the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.

 

6.          Collections; Payment Procedure. Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) shall maintain an account for receipt of all amounts paid on account of the Loan (the “Collection Account”); provided, however, that it is acknowledged and agreed that the Collection Account may be an account of Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) containing funds from other assets unrelated to the Loan or the Property provided that a sub-account (maintained as a separate ledger account) of such account is maintained for the Loan and the Participations or Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) otherwise maintains separate books and records with respect to activity in the Collection Account relating thereto. Pursuant to the terms hereof, Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5, hereof, to remit from the Collection Account for deposit or credit on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month, or if such fifteenth (15th) day in any month is not a Business Day, the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the next Business Day after such fifteenth (15th) day (the “Remittance Date”) all payments received under the Loan, by wire transfer to the account or accounts designated to Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) in writing by each of the Participants; provided that delinquent payments received by Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) after the related Remittance Date shall be remitted to such accounts on the Business Day following receipt. Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied at the times and for the purposes specified in this Agreement. If Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of the Loan determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of the Loan must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Participant hereunder and each Participant shall promptly on demand repay to the Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the related Participant, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) shall have been required to pay to Borrower, the other Participants or any other Person with respect thereto. Each Participant agrees that if at any time  it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer, as applicable) and Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer, as applicable) shall promptly remit such amounts to the other Participants. Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Participant with respect to the Loan against any future payments due to such Participant hereunder, provided, that the obligations of each Participant under this Section 6 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any Participant be responsible for payment of any amounts due from the other Participants hereunder. The obligations of each Participant under this Section 6 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and Servicer shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of these provisions.

 

10

 

Each month, Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) shall prepare and shall deliver copies of a report containing the following information to each of the Participants (provided that Participation 1 Holder shall not be required to provide any such information if and to the extent the same is provided directly to the Participants by Servicer):

 

(i)         For each of the Participants, (x) the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to principal and (y) separately identifying the amount of scheduled principal payments, Balloon Payments, Prepayments made at the option of the Borrower or other Prepayments included therein;

 

(ii)        For each of the Participants, the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to interest and the amount of default interest paid under the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)       If the distribution to the Participants is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Holders if there had been sufficient amounts available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof between interest and principal and the amount of the shortfall, if any, under the Loan;

 

(iv)       The principal balance relating to each of the Participations, after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Remittance Date;

 

(v)        The amount of the servicing fees and other fees paid to Servicer with respect to such Remittance Date; and

 

(vi)       Such other information as any Participant may reasonably request, to the extent reasonably available to Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer, as applicable), and in such event any costs incurred in providing such additional information shall be reimbursed by the requesting party.

 

7.          Reallocation of Principal Balance. The Participants may agree in writing to reallocate principal between the Participations and adjust the Percentage Interests of the Participants to reflect such reallocation, provided that any such reallocation of principal and adjustment of the Percentage Interests shall require the prior written consent of all Participants. The parties shall confirm such reallocation of principal between the Participations and adjustment of the Percentage Interests by executing and delivering an amendment of the Loan Schedule substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto.

 

8.          Additional Understandings. Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer) shall furnish to each Holder copies of any notices, requests for consent, servicing reports, financial statements and reports received pursuant to the Loan Documents promptly after receipt thereof by the Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer).

 

11

 

9.          Representations and Warranties of the Initial Holders.

 

Each Initial Holder, as of the date hereof, hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with the other Initial Holder that:

 

(i)         It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.

 

(ii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by it, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(iii)       It has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

 

(iv)       This Agreement is its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

(v)        It has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other Person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10.        No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the arrangement between the Participants a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Subject to Section 12(c) hereof, no Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Holder the opportunity to purchase interests in any future notes or participation interests or future loans purchased or originated by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and if any Holder chooses to offer to any other Holder the opportunity to purchase interests in any future notes or any participation interests in any future loans purchased or originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

11.        Not a Security. None of the Participations shall be deemed to be  a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

12.        Transfer of Participations. (a) No Participant shall sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, sell, hypothecate, contribute, encumber, subparticipate or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) all or any portion of its Participation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The Participation 2 Holder shall not Transfer all or any portion of Participation 2, without first receiving the prior written consent of the Participation 1 Holder which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses

 

12

 

of the Participation 1 Holder incurred in connection with reviewing such request for consent); provided that, in the event a Participation Pledgee (or its assignee or designee) relating to Participation 1 [or Participation 3] has become the Holder of the related Participation by reason of foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, subject to Section 12(c) hereof, the Participation 2 Holder may Transfer all or any portion of Participation 2, without the consent of the Participation 1 Holder, but subject to the conditions contained in the next succeeding sentence, to a Qualified Institutional Lender that provides to the Participation 1 Holder certification in writing from an authorized officer that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participation 2 Holder agrees that each Transfer to be made by it under this Section 12 is subject to the following restrictions: (i) the Participation 2 Holder shall give the Participation 1 Holder notice of such Transfers within five (5) days after the effective date thereof, and (ii) a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Participation 2 Holder hereunder with respect to Participation 2 from and after the date of such assignment. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of Participation 2, the Participation 2 Holder shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to Participation 2 (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a subparticipation interest). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Participation 1 Holder may freely Transfer all or any portion of Participation 1, without any consent or approval of the Participation 2 Holder [or the Participation 3 Holder, and the Participation 3 Holder may freely Transfer all or any portion of Participation 3 (including the Future Funding Obligations), without any consent or approval of the Participation 1 Holder or the Participation 2 Holder].

 

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Participation 1 Holder [and Participation 3 Holder] may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Participation to any entity which has extended a credit facility to such Participant and that is a Qualified Institutional Lender (such Person, a “Participation Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12(b), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Participation Pledgee to a Participant or any Affiliate which controls such Participant that is secured by such Participant’s interest in the applicable Participation and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided, that a Participation Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Participation without the consent of the other Participant. Upon written notice by Participation 1 Holder [or Participation 3 Holder, as applicable], to the other Participants that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Participation Pledgee), the non-pledging Participants agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Participation Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Participant in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Participant has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Participant; (ii) to allow such Participation Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Participant in respect of its obligations to the other Participants hereunder, but such Participation Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Participation Pledgee without the prior written consent of such Participation Pledgee; (iv) that such non-pledging Participants shall

 

13

 

accept any cure by such Participation Pledgee of any default of the pledging Participant which such pledging Participant has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Participant; (v) that such non-pledging Participants shall deliver to Participation Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Participation Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Participant; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the non-pledging Participants and the Servicer by such Participation Pledgee that the pledging Participant is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Participant’s obligations to such Participation Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Participant and such Participation Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Participant), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Participation Pledgee, Participation Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that the Participation 1 Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Participant from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. Any pledging Participant hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Participants and the Servicer from any liability to the pledging Participant on account of any non-pledging Participant’s or the Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by the Servicer or such non- pledging Participant to have been delivered by a Participation Pledgee. Participation Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Participant (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement and without prior notice to any other Participant. In such event, the non-pledging Participants and the Servicer shall recognize such Participation Pledgee (and any transferee which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Participation Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and  assigns, as the successor to the pledging Participant’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Participation Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Participant hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Participation Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of  a Participation Pledgee under this Section 12(b) shall remain effective as to any Participant (and the Servicer) unless and until such Participation Pledgee shall have notified such Participant (and the Servicer) in writing that its interest in the pledged Participation has terminated. [Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Participation 1 Holder pledge Participation 1 unless the Participation 3 Holder has pledged the Participation 3 to the same Participation Pledgee to which Participation 1 has been pledged and the Participation 3 Holder pledge the Participation 3 unless the Participation 1 Holder has pledged Participation 1 to the same Participation Pledgee to which Participation 3 has been pledged.]

 

(c)        If a Participation Pledgee (or its assignee or designee) relating to Participation 1 [or Participation 3] has become the Holder of the related Participation by reason of foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, in the event that the Participation 2 Holder desires to sell all or any portion of its interest in Participation 2, the Participation 2 Holder shall give notice to the Participation 1 Holder of its intent to do so, which notice shall include a description of all related terms associated with the proposed sale including, without limitation, the related minimum sales price and an offer by the Participation 2 Holder to sell Participation 2 to the Participation 1 Holder at such minimum sales price and upon such terms (any such notice, a “ROFO Notice”). Participation 1 Holder shall, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of

 

14

 

Participation 2 Holder’s ROFO Notice, deliver to Participation 2 Holder a written response thereto, either agreeing to purchase, or declining to purchase, Participation 2 subject to such ROFO Notice, for the purchase price and subject to the terms set forth in the related ROFO Notice. If within said ten (10) calendar day period Participation 1 Holder agrees to so purchase Participation 2, Participation 1 Holder shall purchase the related Participation 2 in accordance with the terms set forth in the ROFO Notice, within twenty (20) days thereafter. Should Participation 1 Holder (i) reject Participation 2 Holder’s offer and related sales terms, (ii) fail to respond to Participation 2 Holder’s offer within the above ten (10) calendar day period or (iii) agree to purchase Participation 2 but fail to close such purchase within the time period prescribed pursuant to this paragraph, Participation 2 Holder shall be permitted to, for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, sell Participation 2 to a third-party purchaser at a sales price of not less than ninety-seven percent (97%) of the sales price offered to Participation 1 Holder, which sale shall be on an arm’s length basis on otherwise substantially identical terms as those offered to Participation 1 Holder in the ROFO Notice. Should Participation 2 Holder fail to sell Participation 2 on the terms described in the preceding sentence within such ninety (90) day period, Participation 2 Holder shall not thereafter sell Participation 2 without first delivering a new ROFO Notice and again complying with all of the terms set forth in this paragraph.

 

13.        Other Business Activities of the Participants. Each Participant acknowledges that the other Participants may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Borrower (“Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

 

14.        Certain Powers of the Controlling Holder. During the term of this Agreement, the Controlling Holder shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the lender with respect to the Loan under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, executing amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents, the exclusive right to grant any consents and approvals and to exercise all the rights and powers granted to the lender under the Loan Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicing Agreement and applicable law; provided, however, prior to the exercise of any rights and remedies by any Participation Pledgee in respect of Participation 1 or Participation 3 under its related credit facility, that in no event shall the Controlling Holder modify, amend or terminate any Loan Document in a manner which would solely have an adverse effect on any Non-Controlling Holder (and would not have the same adverse effect on the Controlling Holder) without the prior written consent of such Non- Controlling Holder, which consent may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of such Non- Controlling Holder. The Controlling Holder may (i) direct the Servicer or designate (or vote on the designation of) any other Person to exercise any and all of such rights and (ii) may elect to remove the Servicer and appoint a replacement Servicer in its sole discretion with respect to the Loan. In no event shall the Controlling Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder.

 

15.        No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Loan by the Initial Lender to any Holder or a loan from Initial Lender to any Holder. The Participants shall have no interest in any property taken as security

 

15

 

for the Loan; provided,  however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in reduction of the Loan Principal Balance, then each Participant shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Participation Agreement. The Participants acknowledge and agree that the Loan represents a single “claim” under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that no Participant shall be a separate creditor of the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

16.        Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

17.        Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The party seeking modification of this Agreement shall be solely responsible for any and all expenses that may arise in order to modify this Agreement.

 

18.        Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no successors or assigns of the Participants shall have any liability for a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement (but the liability of the applicable Initial Participant therefor shall survive). Except as provided in Section 5, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto or a successor or assign of a party hereto.

 

19.        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

20.        Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

 

21.        Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission together with telephonic notice and if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) sent by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iv) sent by certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt or, if mailed, upon the earlier to occur of receipt or the expiration of the fourth (4th) day following the date of mailing. In the event any Participation is subject to a Pledge, the Participation Pledgee shall be entitled to the

 

16

 

same notices required to be delivered to the other Participants relating to any Transfers of Participation hereunder. Any such pledging Participation shall provide the notice information of the applicable Participation Pledgee to the other Participants.

 

22.        Custody of Loan Documents. The Participants acknowledge that originals of all of the Loan Documents will be held by the Participation 1 Holder [or by the Custodian on its behalf pursuant to the Custodial Agreement].

 

23.        Statement of Intent. Each Participant, by its acceptance of its interest herein, agrees, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax returns and reports as required under applicable law.

 

24.        Servicing of the Loan. The parties agree that the Participation 1 Holder  (or the Servicer) shall service the Loan on behalf of the Participants.

 

25.        Registration of Transfers. Participation 1 Holder (or Servicer on its  behalf) shall maintain a register on which it will record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by the Holders. Any transfer of a Participation hereunder shall be recorded on such register.

 

 

17

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Holders has caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

1         To execute under hand or under seal or otherwise perfect any deeds or documents, and take such action and do all other things, as may be necessary or desirable to effect the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets located in the United Kingdom to the Attorney (or to perfect or register the same).

No Purchased Asset has been accelerated and no enforcement has been initiated in respect of the related Mortgage.

general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(e)          Such insurance policy contains a standard mortgagee clause that names the Seller or any other lender (or agent or trustee therefor) in respect of such Senior Mortgage Loan (each a “Mortgagee”) in respect of such Senior Mortgage Loan as an additional insured and that requires at least thirty days’ (in the case of termination or cancellation other than for non- payment of premiums) and at least ten days’ (in the case of termination or cancellation for non- payment of premiums or where applicable law so requires) prior notice to the holder of the related Mortgage, and no such notice has been received, including any notice of non-payment of premiums, that has not been cured.

 

(f)          Each Mortgage securing such Senior Mortgage Loan obliges the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, upon such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorises the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the related Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor.

 

(g)          Any insurance proceeds in respect of loss, damage or destruction, will be applied either: (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property comprising real estate; or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Senior Mortgage Loan, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Underlying Mortgaged Property comprising real estate and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans.

 

(h)          The related Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by an insurance policy, issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of such Purchased Asset and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least A-1 or higher by Standard & Poor's Rating Services or Fitch Ratings Ltd or A3 or higher by Moody's Investors Service Limited. The insurer issuing each of the foregoing insurance policies is qualified to write insurance in the jurisdiction where the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located.

 

(i)           All premiums with respect to the insurance policies insuring each Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid in a timely manner or escrowed to the extent required by the Purchased Asset Documents, and Seller has not received any notice of cancellation or termination. The

 

 

relevant Purchased Asset File contains the insurance policy required for such Purchased Asset or a certificate of insurance for such insurance policy.

 

(j)           None of the Purchased Asset Documents contain any provision that expressly excuses the related borrower from obtaining and maintaining insurance coverage for acts of terrorism and, in circumstances where terrorism insurance is not expressly required, the mortgagee is not prohibited from requesting that the related borrower maintain such insurance, in each case, to the extent such insurance coverage is generally available for like properties in such jurisdictions at commercially reasonable rates. Each Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by an “all-risk” casualty insurance policy that does not contain an express exclusion for (or, alternatively, is covered by a separate policy that insures against property damage resulting from) acts of terrorism.

(e)          such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller; such Ground Lease contains a covenant (or applicable laws provide) that the lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the relevant portion of such Underlying Mortgaged Property subject to such Ground Lease for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

 

(f)          such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, cancelled or terminated without the prior written consent of Seller in its capacity as lender under the Purchased Asset Documents for such Senior Mortgage Loan and any such action without such consent is not binding on Seller in its capacity as lender under such Purchased Asset Documents, its successors or assigns, except termination or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease, (ii) notice thereof is provided to Seller in its capacity as lender under such Purchased Asset Documents and (iii) (A) such default is curable by Seller in its capacity as lender under such Purchased Asset Documents provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period, (B) in the case of any such default that is not curable by such Mortgagee, or in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the lessee under such Ground Lease, such Mortgagee has the right, following termination of the existing Ground Lease or rejection thereof by a liquidator or similar party, to enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on substantially the same terms as the existing Ground Lease; and (C) all rights of the Mortgagor under such Ground Lease may be exercised by or on behalf of such Mortgagee under the related Mortgage upon enforcement;

(h)          the Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the Ground Lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the Ground Lessee to the Mortgagee. The

 

 

Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease or ancillary agreement;

(k)          such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related fee or long leasehold interest and Permitted Encumbrances and such Ground Lease is, and shall remain, prior to any mortgage or other lien upon the related fee or long leasehold interest unless a non-disturbance agreement is obtained from the holder of any mortgage on the fee or long leasehold interest that is assignable to or for the benefit of the related lessee and the related Mortgagee.
