THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

 (LIBOR TRANSITION AMENDMENT)

 

 

BORROWER: TPG RE FINANCE 20, LTD

 

EFFECTIVE DATE WHEN SOFR RATE BEGINS:  December 9, 2021

 

This Third Amendment (this “Amendment”) is entered into by and among TPG RE Finance 20, Ltd., as borrower (“Borrower”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”), and certain lenders (collectively, “Lenders”) and is made effective as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”).  This Amendment is for the sole purpose of modifying certain interest rate terms and provisions of a credit facility extended to Borrower (the “Credit Facility”) that is evidenced and governed by the following documents, among others (collectively, as they may be amended, restated, modified, and/or extended to date, the “Loan Documents”):

 

	
 
	
•
	
Credit Agreement dated as of September 29, 2017 (as heretofore and hereafter amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

	
 
	
•
	
The other “Loan Documents” as defined under the Credit Agreement

 

Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

Interest, fees, and other sums accrue on Loans made under the Credit Facility based on the London Interbank Offered Rate as administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration (“LIBOR”) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

The applicable parties under the Credit Agreement have determined that LIBOR should be replaced with a successor rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.  In connection with the agreement of such parties to have all Loans bear interest at the Daily SOFR Rate, as defined below, Administrative Agent has determined that certain conforming changes are necessary or advisable.

In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Loan Documents are hereby amended, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

 

1.Daily SOFR Rate; Borrowings.

(a)The unpaid principal balance of each Loan from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum (the “Daily SOFR Rate”) equal to Daily SOFR for that day plus 1.75%.  “Daily SOFR” means the rate per annum equal to SOFR determined for any day pursuant to the definition thereof plus the SOFR Adjustment.  Any change in Daily SOFR shall be effective from and including the date of such change without further notice.  If the rate as so determined would be less than zero (0.00%), such rate shall be deemed to be zero (0.00%) for purposes of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Loans made pursuant thereto.

 

 

(b)The requirements of this clause (b) are in addition to any other borrowing requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement.  Each Daily SOFR Advance shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by a Loan Notice and backup documentation to the extent required by the Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents will govern the timing of any Daily SOFR Advance.  In any event the Loan Notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Administrative Agent’s Time on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately prior to the requested date of any Daily SOFR Advance.  Each Daily SOFR Advance shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.Computations; Conforming Changes.  All computations of interest for the Base Rate (to the extent applicable and as hereinafter defined) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each advance of the Loan for the day on which the advance is made, and shall not accrue on an advance, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the advance or such portion is paid, provided that any advance that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to subject to the provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing payments generally, bear interest for one day.  Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee under the Loan Documents shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  The books and records of Administrative Agent shall be conclusive evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of all sums owing to Lenders from time to time under the Loan Documents, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.  With respect to SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.  Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Daily SOFR Rate” or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including any Successor Rate (as defined below)) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.

 

3.Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loan advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to engage in reverse repurchase of U.S. Treasury securities transactions of the type included in the determination of SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through Administrative Agent), any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain Daily SOFR Advances shall be suspended, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay, or, if applicable, convert all Daily SOFR Principal owed to such Lender to Base Rate Principal.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

2

 

 

 

4.Inability to Determine Rate.  If (a) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) no Successor Rate for Daily SOFR has been determined in accordance with Section 5 of this Amendment, and the circumstances under Section (5)(a) of this Amendment or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) with respect to SOFR, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining SOFR for any determination date(s) or requested payment period, as applicable, with respect to any proposed or existing advance of the Loan; or (b) Administrative Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason that Daily SOFR for any determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding any requested advance of the Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the Daily SOFR Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (or in the case of a determination by Required Lenders described in clause (b) above, until Administrative Agent upon instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (1) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing at the Daily SOFR Rate (to the extent of the affected Loan advances) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request to borrow a Base Rate Loan, and (2) all amounts from day to day outstanding which are not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

 

5.Replacement of SOFR or Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, if Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

 

(a)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining SOFR because none of the tenors of SOFR (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b)the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of SOFR (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of SOFR (the latest date on which all tenors of SOFR (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

 

(c)syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the United States, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace SOFR;

 

or if any of the events or circumstances of the type described in clauses (a)-(c) above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Amendment and the other Loan Documents solely for the purpose of replacing SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar-denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar-denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for 

3

 

 

such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. Administrative Agent’s Time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower, unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

 

Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Administrative Agent.

 

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero (0.00%), the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero (0.00%) for the purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and each Lender of such availability, Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of Borrower, amend this Amendment and the other Loan Documents (any such amendment, a “Term SOFR Availability Amendment”) to provide for the availability of Loans bearing interest at one or more Term SOFR-based rates (“Term SOFR Advances”) in a form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, together with any Conforming Changes. Such amendment shall become effective no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Loan bearing interest by reference to Term SOFR will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus 1.75% plus the applicable SOFR Adjustment. 

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate or Term SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Amendment; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

 

6.Payment Schedule and Maturity Date.  The aggregate outstanding principal balance of Loans then unpaid and all accrued interest then unpaid shall be due and payable in full on the existing maturity date.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Amendment does not change the existing maturity date or any options to extend such existing maturity date (if any) that may be included in the Loan Documents.  Prior to maturity, accrued and unpaid interest shall be calculated and paid in accordance with Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement.  If any Daily SOFR Advance is converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 or any Loan is made as 

4

 

 

a Base Rate Loan because Daily SOFR becomes unavailable, indeterminable or illegal, or fails to reflect Lenders’ costs, then each such Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

 

	
7.
	
Compensation for Losses

.  Within ten (10) days of written demand by any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time (and at the time of any prepayment), Borrower shall compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Principal Debt bearing interest at a Term SOFR-based rate on a day other than the last day of the interest period therefor (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, acceleration upon any transfer or conveyance of any right, title or interest in the Property giving Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders the right to accelerate the maturity of the Loan);

 

(b)any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an advance at a Term SOFR-based rate) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Principal Debt bearing interest at a Term SOFR-based rate on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower in any Loan Notice or otherwise; or

 

(c)any assignment of Principal Debt bearing interest at a Term SOFR-based rate other than on the last day of the interest period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement,

 

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Principal Debt bearing interest at a Term SOFR-based rate or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

The amounts payable under this Section shall never be less than zero or greater than is permitted by applicable Law.  For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts will be owing under this Section in connection with the prepayment of any Daily SOFR Principal or Base Rate Principal (if any).

8.Definitions.  The Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents are hereby amended to delete all references to LIBOR and the existing LIBOR-based rate.
