The Special Financing Committee is authorized to approve our guaranties of the following with respect to credit facilities to which our direct and indirect subsidiaries are a party: (i) a credit facility in an original principal amount of $350 million or less, with an initial maturity date of three years or less or if the facility finances only one underlying mortgage loan, for the term of the underlying mortgage loan; or (ii) an amendment to an existing credit facility relating to (1) an increase to the principal amount of the credit facility by an amount not to exceed $350 million and for a period not to exceed three years; (2) any extension of the maturity dates or borrowing expiration dates for a period not to exceed three years at a time or if the facility finances only one underlying mortgage loan, for the term of the underlying mortgage loan; and (3) any other amendments, provided that any such amendment does not result in (x) an increase in the principal amount of the obligations under a credit facility by an amount and/or for a term exceeding that permitted by clause (1) above or (y) an extension of a maturity date or borrowing expiration date for a period exceeding that permitted by clause (2) above.
