Exhibit 10.1

Fiscal 2016 Executive Incentive Plan. On May 12, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of American Superconductor Corporation (the “Committee”) and the Board of Directors of American Superconductor Corporation (the “Company”) approved an executive incentive plan for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 (“fiscal 2016”).  Participants in the plan include the Company’s chief executive officer and all other executive officers. Pursuant to the plan, the Committee designated for each executive officer a target cash incentive amount, expressed as a percentage of the officer’s base salary.  The Committee is responsible for determining the payout under the plan to each executive officer except the chief executive officer.  The Board of Directors of the Company determines the payout under the plan for the chief executive officer, taking into account the recommendation of the Committee. 

The amount of the incentive award actually paid to each executive officer may be less than or greater than the executive’s target cash incentive, with the amount capped at 200% of the target incentive.  For each executive officer, individual incentive awards will be determined following the end of fiscal 2016 based on the following factors and their corresponding weightings: 

	
				
	 
	•
	 
	the Company’s non-GAAP net loss defined as net loss before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring and impairment charges, consumption of zero cost-basis inventory, changes in fair value of derivatives and warrants, non-cash interest expense, and other non-cash or unusual charges, net of any tax effects related to these items, for fiscal 2016 as compared to the established target – 40% 

	 
	•
	 
	the executive’s achievement of other financial objectives relating to ending cash balance, revenues, operating expenses and orders during fiscal 2016 as compared to the established target – 40% 

	 
	•
	 
	the executive’s individual and overall contribution during fiscal 2016 towards the achievement of the Company’s financial and non-financial objectives (subjective performance measure) – 20%

The following table sets forth each executive officer’s target cash incentive for fiscal 2016:

ARTICLE 2

THE CREDIT FACILITY

 

Section 2.1    Description of Facility; Borrower Representative.

 

	
 
	
(a)
	
On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement each Lender hereby establishes in favor of the Borrowers a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to which the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers or any one or more of them, may from time to time on any Business Day subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2(l)(xii) of this Agreement on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Period Termination Date, request an Advance.   The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all Advances made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower or Borrowers received the proceeds of any Advance.

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Each Borrower hereby designates the Borrower Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Borrowing Notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Advances, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each Lender and the Agent may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and 

46

 

	
 
		
enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. 

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
No Advance shall be requested or made in respect of any Person (including in respect of any property of any Person) who is not, at the time the related Borrowing Notice is delivered to the Agent, a Borrower hereunder.

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
The Borrower Representative may by written notice to the Agent request an increase  to  the  Facility  Amount,  in  each  case  in  minimum  increments  of $100,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such increases does not exceed $500,000,000 (each such increase, the “Upsize Amount”). Such notice shall specify the proposed date the Upsize Amount shall become effective and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Directing Lenders. The Upsize Amount may become effective, if, and only if, (i) no Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default shall  have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to such increase and (ii) the Directing Lenders shall have consented to such increase in their sole and absolute discretion. No increase in the Facility Amount shall become effective until existing and/or new Lenders agree to increase the aggregate Commitments by the Upsize Amount and the Loan Parties shall have delivered to the Agent documents satisfactory to the Agent pursuant to which any such existing Lender states the amount of its Commitment increase, any such new Lender states its Commitment amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Loan Parties accept such incremental Commitments. Any increase of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section shall be subject to receipt by the Agent of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Agent may reasonably request. Upon approval of any increase in Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), the Borrower Representative shall provide written notice to the Calculation Agent of such  increased  Facility  Amount. Nothing  contained  herein  shall  constitute  a commitment on the part of any Lender hereunder to agree to any such increase.

 

	
 
	
(e)
	
Upon the effectiveness of any Upsize Amount after the Effective Date,  each Lender (whether new or existing) shall be deemed to have accepted an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall be deemed to have made an assignment to each new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Commitment, of a portion of the Advances Outstanding such that, after giving effect to such assignments, the Advances Outstanding hereunder are held ratably by the Lenders in their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Agent shall notify each Lender in writing whether it is an assignee or an assignor of Advances, and the principal amount to be assigned or assumed by such Lender, pursuant to the foregoing, and the day on which such assignment shall occur. Each Lender that is an assignee pursuant to the foregoing shall remit the principal amount to be assigned to it to the Loan Account by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) by wire transfer of same day funds on the day the assignment 

47

 

	
 
		
is to occur. Upon receipt of such funds, the Paying Agent shall remit from the funds so received, by wire transfer of same day funds, to each Lender that is an assignor pursuant to the foregoing, an amount equal to the principal to be assigned by such Lender. The assignment described in this paragraph will be self-effecting pursuant to this paragraph, and is not required to be evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption or other assignment agreement, but will be deemed governed by the applicable terms and conditions set forth in the form of Assignment and Assumption. To the extent that payments are received after the date of such assignment in respect of obligations that accrued prior to such assignment, the Paying Agent, at the written direction of the Agent, shall allocate the portion of any such payments attributed to assigned Advances (x) to the assignor Lender for amounts which have accrued to but excluding the date of such assignment and (y) to the assignee Lender for amounts which have accrued from and after the date of such assignment.

58

 

not exist for ascertaining the Interest Rate applicable to an Advance on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate, the Agent shall on such date give notice (by fax or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers, each Lender and the Calculation Agent of such determination, whereupon each the Interest Rate for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the Base Rate (a “Base Rate Advance”) during the pendency of such circumstances.

 

Section 2.10    Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Advances. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining or continuation of any Advance bearing interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate (a “LIBOR Rate Advance”) (a) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (b) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, the Agent shall on that day give notice (by email, facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and the Calculation Agent of such determination. Thereafter (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Agent, (ii) each Lender’s obligation to maintain any portion or all of the Advances Outstanding (the “Affected Advances”) at the LIBOR Rate shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Accrual Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Advances or when required by law, and (iii) the Affected Advances shall automatically convert into Base Rate Advances on the date of such termination.

 

Section 2.11    Increased Costs.

 

	
 
	
(a)
	
If any Applicable Laws (other than with respect to any amendment made to any Lender’s organizational or governing documents), including those regarding capital adequacy, or any change in, or change in the interpretation or application of, any Applicable Laws or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)subject any Lender to any Applicable Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes  and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

 

59

 

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 

(iii)shall impose on any Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining the Advances or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof or shall have the effect of reducing any Lender’s rate of return, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly deposit into the Collection Account such additional amount or amounts as calculated by such Lender in good faith as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
If any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Laws (whether now existing or hereafter enacted) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Person with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a  consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly deposit into the Collection  Account such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in Applicable Law” subject to this Section 2.11, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall notify the Borrowers, the Agent and Paying Agent in writing of the amount payable. A certificate as to any additional amounts  payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Lender to the Borrowers and the Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(a)
	
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Applicable Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Applicable Tax from any such payment by the applicable Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Applicable Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the applicable Withholding Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under  this Section 2.12) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Applicable Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.1(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Applicable Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the  amount of  such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive 

61

 

	
 
		
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 2.12(d). 

 

	
 
	
(e)

(f)
	
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Withholding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent  as will  permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by a Withholding Agent as will enable the Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(f)(i), (ii) and (iv) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

2.executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

3.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iii)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Lender) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Withholding Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a  basis  for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Applicable Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the applicable Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(iv)For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Calculation Agent nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation under this Agreement to determine any withholding amount required pursuant to FATCA or otherwise.

 

(v)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

63

 

(vi)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Applicable Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Applicable Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Applicable Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an  indemnifying  party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Applicable Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Applicable Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (vi) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Applicable Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

 

Section 2.13    Remedies Upon Breach of Representation As To Eligible Property.  If at any time any Financed Property no longer qualifies as an Eligible Property or at any time any Borrower, the Borrower Representative, the Master Property Manager, the Agent, the Diligence Agent or any Lender determines that any Financed Property that has been represented to be an Eligible Property is not an Eligible Property (in any such case, a “Non-Eligible Property”), the party making such discovery shall promptly notify the other parties of such Non-Eligible Property and the reasons it fails to qualify as an Eligible Property. On or before the last day of the applicable Cure Period, the Borrowers shall either (i) cure the failure of such Non-Eligible Property to constitute an Eligible Property or (ii) repay Advances Outstanding, and/or qualify and deliver additional Eligible Properties as Financed Properties pursuant to Section 2.2, to the extent necessary to cure any Borrowing Base Shortfall, an LTV Ratio in excess of 70% or a Trigger Event resulting from such Non-Eligible Property (together with any other Non-Eligible Properties) failing to constitute an Eligible Property, and in either case provide notice to the Calculation Agent of the Borrowers’ election to proceed under the foregoing (i) or (ii). For the purpose of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) such Non-Eligible Property shall be deemed to have a Market Value, Property Value and Purchase Price of zero and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Debt Yield Ratio shall be recalculated as of the most recently ended Measurement Quarter with the Annualized Net Cash Flow related to such Non-Eligible Property excluded from the applicable calculation. Unless the failure of such Non-Eligible Property to constitute an Eligible Property is cured on or before the last day of the applicable Cure Period, such 

64

 

Non-Eligible Property shall no longer constitute a Financed Property unless and until it subsequently qualifies as an Eligible Property and is re-delivered and qualified pursuant  to Section 2.2.

If the Loan To Value Ratio for Financed Properties (calculated with respect to Properties for which BPOs were obtained in a Quarterly Sample) is greater than 65% (any such condition, a “Sample Decline”), then the Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers and within five (5) Business Days of any such Sample Decline, order updated BPOs from the Diligence Agent with respect to an additional 12.5%, by Allocated Loan Amount, of the Financed Properties (each, an “Additional Sample”).

Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such updated BPOs, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Agent and the Calculation Agent a BPO Report showing the calculation of the Loan to Value Ratio taking into account such updated BPOs. The Loan To Value Ratio for all Financed Properties and for all purposes under this Agreement will be recalculated based on the updated BPOs obtained in connection with any Quarterly Valuation. All updated BPOs prepared pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above shall be posted to the Data Site upon completion of such BPOs.

 

	
 
	
(c)

On each Payment Date, as applicable, (i) in accordance with Section 2.8(b), the Borrowers shall deposit any Ongoing Reserve Account Shortfall Amount existing on such date or (ii) the Paying Agent shall withdraw any Ongoing Reserve Account Excess Amount identified in the Monthly Report from the Ongoing Reserve Account and shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account as Available Funds for such Payment Date. At the Borrowers’ option, the Borrowers may elect to increase the Ongoing Reserve Required Amount to include the aggregate insurance premiums payable  during the related calendar year necessary in order to maintain compliance with the Insurance Requirements related to Non-Financed Properties (as compared to the 25% of such premiums otherwise required) in order to exclude such premiums from the calculation of Annualized Net Cash Flow. In addition, if increased pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers may subsequently elect to reduce the Ongoing Reserve Required Amount to 25% of such premiums related to Non- Financed Properties. Any election to increase or decrease the Ongoing  Reserve  Required Amount shall be made by notice from the Borrower Representative to the Agent and the Calculation Agent not later than the first Business Day of the Measurement Quarter for which such election shall apply. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Directing Lenders shall, direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw all or any portion of the amounts on deposit in the Ongoing Reserve Account and apply such funds to pay (i) costs and expenses for maintenance or operation of the Properties, or (ii) the Advances Outstanding, pro rata to each Lender, in such proportion as between items (i) and (ii) above as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion or the Directing Lenders may direct. The right to direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw and apply amounts on deposit in the Ongoing Reserve Account in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Provided no Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, the Paying Agent shall disburse the amounts on deposit in the Ongoing  Reserve Account with respect to a Property to 

85

 

the Borrower Representative (as directed in writing by the Agent) upon the Conveyance of such Property or a Property Release with respect to  such Property, and the payment in full of the applicable Property Release Amount with respect to such Property. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.4 or Section 4.11, the amounts on deposit in the Ongoing Reserve Account shall not be released to the Borrowers or otherwise available to pay any Obligations.

On the date of each Advance hereunder, the Borrowers shall deposit (or cause to be deposited from such Advance) in the Interest Reserve Account the Interest Reserve Account Deposit Amount for each Financed Property (to the extent not previously funded) and any Interest Reserve Account Shortfall Amount existing on such date.

During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Directing Lenders shall, direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw all or any portion of the amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account and apply such funds to pay (i) unpaid Interest Payment Amounts, or (ii) the Advances Outstanding, pro rata to each Lender, in such proportion as between items (i) and (ii) above as the Agent may determine in its sole  discretion  or  the Directing Lenders may direct. The right to direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw and apply amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.5, the amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall not be released to the Borrowers or otherwise available to pay any Obligations.

(a)
	
The Borrowers shall pay (or shall cause to be paid) all insurance premiums related to all Properties necessary in order to maintain compliance with the Insurance Requirements for such Properties and all real estate taxes and other governmental assessments for all Financed Properties.

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the Restatement Effective Date and at least once each year 

110

 

thereafter based on Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of the net income from each Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to the Agent pursuant to this subsection shall be held by the Agent and shall be applied in Agent’s sole discretion to (x) the Obligations or (y) Operating Expenses approved by Agent in its sole discretion; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrowers of their obligation to pay the Obligations on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(b)
	
All Policies required pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall: (i) be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Directing Lenders as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds and (ii) be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the states where the applicable Properties are located and having a rating of “A-:IX” or better with an outlook of “Positive” or “Stable” in the current Best’s Insurance Reports or a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P or another Rating Agency selected by Agent, provided, however, that if Borrowers elect to have their insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and one hundred (100%) of the first layer of such insurance coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P and (B) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims  paying ability rating of “BBB” or better by S&P;

All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.2(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 6.2(a)(vi), shall contain clauses or  endorsements  to  the effect that:

 

(i)no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone acting for any Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as the Secured Parties are concerned;

 

(ii)the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Agent and any other party named therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten (10) days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by Applicable Law (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice;

 

(iii)the Secured Parties shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and

 

(iv)the issuers thereof shall give notice to the Agent if a Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration.

Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.2(a) (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).

 

	
 
	
(f)
	
All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.2(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.2(a)(iv), shall name the applicable Borrower as the insured and the Agent and its successors and/or assigns as mortgagee and loss payee, as  its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, windstorm, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of the Agent providing that the loss  thereunder shall be payable to the Agent unless below the Casualty Threshold Amount  for a Borrower to handle such claim without the Agent.  Additionally, if a Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 6.2(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of the Agent providing that the loss  thereunder shall be payable to the Agent.

 

	
 
	
(g)
	
If at any time the Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, the Agent shall have the right, without notice to Borrowers, to take such action as the Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as the Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrowers if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time the Agent deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrowers) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage.  All premiums incurred by the Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to the Agent upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Loan

Documents and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of Applicable Margin.

 

	
 
	
(h)
	
In the event of foreclosure of the pledge of the Equity Interest of Borrowers pursuant to the Security Agreement the Policies shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 6.3    Hedging Arrangements.

 

	
 
	
(a)
	
On or before the Effective Date, each Borrower, the Borrowers collectively, or one or more Guarantors (each, or collectively, the “Hedge Assignor”), shall enter into one (1) or more Hedge Transactions constituting a Hedging Agreement whereby the related Hedge Counterparty is obligated to make payments to the Hedge Assignor if, and to the extent by which, LIBOR exceeds 3.00% and which are otherwise in form and substance satisfactory (including the notional amount, term and amortization rate (if any) of such Hedge Transaction) to the Directing Lenders and each such Hedge Transaction shall be entered into with a Hedge Counterparty selected by the Hedge Assignor and governed by a Hedging Agreement. The Hedge Assignor will maintain such Hedge Agreement with an aggregate notional amount, as of any date of determination, not less than the Advances Outstanding on such date. In addition, the Hedge Assignor may enter into one or more Hedge Transactions otherwise satisfying the requirements of the preceding sentence if the notional amount, term and amortization rate (if any) of such Hedge Transaction(s) have been approved by the Directing Lenders in writing prior to the effective date of such Hedge Transaction(s).

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Nothing herein shall have the effect of releasing any Hedge Assignor from any of its obligations under any Hedging Agreement or any Hedge Transaction, nor be construed as requiring the consent of the Agent or any Secured Party for the performance by the Hedge Assignor of any such obligations. The Hedge Assignor agrees that they will not (i) enter into any Hedge Transaction that would subject any portion or all of the Collateral to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act or the rules thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), and (ii) take any action that would cause the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent to be required to register as a commodity pool operator under the Act. The Hedge Assignor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Parties in connection with any breach of the Hedge Assignor’s obligations hereunder.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Covenants.

 

(i)As additional security under the Security Agreement, the Hedge Assignor has collaterally assigned to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all right, title and interest of the Hedge Assignor in the Hedge Collateral. The Hedge Assignor shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Hedge Transaction. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Hedge Agreement to the Hedge Assignor or the Agent shall be deposited immediately into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.1(d) hereof. Subject to terms hereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Hedge Assignor shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of such Hedge Assignor under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Hedge Transaction and the other Hedge Collateral.  The Hedge Assignor shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to enforce the Hedge 

115

 

Assignor’s rights under the Hedge Transaction in the event of a default by the Hedge Counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder. 

 

(ii)The Hedge Assignor shall defend the Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Hedge Collateral pledged by the Hedge Assignor pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons.

 

(iii)The Hedge Assignor shall not sell, assign, or  otherwise dispose of, or grant a Lien on, any of the Hedge Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of the Agent, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.

 

(iv)In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the Long- Term Rating Requirement or the Short-Term Rating Requirement of the Counterparty such that it ceases to qualify as a Hedge Counterparty, the Borrowers shall replace such Hedge Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from the Agent or any other Person of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.

 

(v)The Hedge Assignor shall not (i) without the prior written consent of the Directing Lenders, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Hedge Agreement, (ii) without the prior written consent of the Directing Lenders, except in accordance with the terms of the Hedge Agreement or as required by Section 6.3(c)(iv), cause  the termination of  the Hedge Agreement prior to its stated maturity date, (iii) without the prior written consent of the Directing Lenders, except as aforesaid, waive or release any obligation of the Hedge Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Hedge Agreement) under the Hedge Agreement, (iv) without the prior written consent of the Directing Lenders, consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of the Hedge Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Hedge Agreement) which, without such consent or agreement, would constitute a default under the Hedge Agreement, or (v) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may have to collection amounts due to it under the Hedge Agreement (unless prohibited hereby).

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Hedge Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:

 

(i)The Agent, subject to the consent of the Directing Lenders, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, any or all of the Hedge Collateral (in one or more parcels and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith the Agent, subject to the written consent of the Directing Lenders, may grant 

116

 

options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Hedge Collateral are being purchased for investment only, the Hedge Assignor hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable law. If all or any of the Hedge Collateral is sold by the Agent, subject to the written consent of the Directing Lenders, upon credit or for future delivery, the Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, the Agent may resell such Hedge Collateral. It is expressly agreed that the Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Hedge Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Hedge Collateral; provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize the Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Hedge Collateral at a later time or times. 

 

(ii)The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and subject to the written consent of the Directing Lenders, may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of the Hedge Assignor, all of the Agent’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Hedge Collateral, hereunder and under law.

 

(iii)The Hedge Assignor hereby irrevocably, in the name of the Hedge Assignor or otherwise, authorizes and empowers the Agent and assigns and transfers unto the Agent, and constitutes and appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for the Hedge Assignor and in the name of the Hedge Assignor, (A) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of the Hedge Assignor under the Hedge Agreement, including any power to subordinate or modify the Hedge Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Hedge Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (B) in order to more fully vest in the Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to the Agent in this Agreement, and the Hedge Assignor further authorizes and empowers the Agent, as the Hedge Assignor’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for the Hedge Assignor and in the name of the Hedge Assignor, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of the Hedge Assignor which in the opinion of the Agent may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Hedge Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by the Hedge Assignor thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of the Hedge Assignor thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by the Hedge Assignor in respect of the Hedge Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.

 

(iv)The Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, the Hedge Assignor or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of the Hedge Assignor or in the name of the Agent, notify the Counterparty, or  if applicable, any other counterparty to the Hedge Agreement, to make payment and 

117

 

performance directly to the Agent; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to the Hedge Assignor, or claims of the Hedge Assignor, under the Hedge Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by the Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Hedge Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by the Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the Hedge Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby. 

 

(v)Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, the Agent may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary  or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on the Agent’s rights with respect to the Hedge Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Hedge Assignor representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Hedge Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Hedge Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Hedge Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of the Hedge Assignor, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Hedge Collateral hereunder.

 

(vi)the Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

 

(vii)Without limiting any other  provision of this Agreement or any of the Hedge Assignor’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing the Hedge Assignor from any obligation or default hereunder, the Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Hedge Agreement to be performed or observed by the Hedge Assignor to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of the Hedge Assignor. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, the Agent in exercising its rights under this Section 6.3(d)(vii) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by the Hedge Assignor to the Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.

 

(viii)The Hedge Assignor may not, without the prior written consent of the Directing Lenders (provided that such consent is not required from a Directing Lender that is the relevant Hedge Counterparty), exercise any rights under any Hedging Agreement or Hedge Transaction.

 

	
 
	
(e)
	
Sales of Hedge Collateral. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by the 

118

 

	
 
		
Hedge Assignor, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Hedge Collateral, except that the Agent shall give the Hedge Assignor at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice the Hedge Assignor hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, the Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Hedge Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and the Agent may without notice or publication, but subject to the written consent of the Directing Lenders, adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Hedge Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, the Agent (or its nominee or designee), subject to the written consent of the Directing Lenders, may purchase any or all of the Hedge Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of the Hedge Assignor, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Hedge Collateral, public or private, the Hedge Assignor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Hedge Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, the Agent shall apply any remaining amounts to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement. 

 

	
 
	
(f)
	
Public Sales Not Possible. The Hedge Assignor acknowledges that the terms of the Hedge Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Hedge Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In light of these considerations, the Hedge Assignor agrees that private sales of the Hedge Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.

 

	
 
	
(g)
	
Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Hedge Collateral by the Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by the Agent or the officer making the sale of the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Hedge Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.

119

 

 

	
 
	
(h)
	
Hedge Agreement. All of the provisions of this Section 6.3 applicable to the Hedge Agreement as in effect on the Restatement Effective Date shall be applicable to any Hedge Agreement entered following the Restatement Effective Date.

 

Section 6.4    Condemnation. If a Property is subject to Condemnation, the applicable Borrower shall, promptly after receipt of any Condemnation Proceeds either (i) deposit all or a portion of such  Condemnation Proceeds into  the Insurance Proceeds Account and promptly commence and diligently pursue the completion of the repair of any damage to such Property resulting from such Condemnation, if applicable and (ii) otherwise deposit all Condemnation Proceeds into the Collection Account, which Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8(b).

If the Agent shall resign or be removed as Agent under this Agreement, then the Directing Lenders shall appoint a successor administrative agent, which may be a Lender, and, if not a Lender, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of resigning Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of the former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.

Each new Lender shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption”) assigning the assigning Lender’s (the “Assigning Lender”) rights and obligations, and pursuant to which the Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned obligations. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) the new Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption  and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations (in whole or in part) of the Assigning Lender hereunder, and (ii) the Assigning Lender shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. In no event shall any competitor (as defined below) of the Sponsor be assigned or participate in, any portion of the Facility, 

132

 

	
 
		
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of a failure of any Borrower to pay principal or interest due under the facility which has continued for thirty (30) days. For purposes of this Section 10.1(a) “competitor of Sponsor” shall mean a Person principally engaged in, or that is an Affiliate of one or more Persons principally engaged in, the business of acquiring and operating residential rental properties, provided that a Person shall not be deemed principally engaged in the business of acquiring residential rental properties unless such Person and its Affiliates own more than 2,000 residential rental properties at the time of the proposed assignment. 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Intentionally Omitted.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Each of the Borrowers shall execute supplemental notes in the principal amount of each new Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances substantially in the form of the Note, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such new Lender, (ii) be dated as of the Effective Date, and (iii) mature on the Scheduled Maturity Date. Each such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing Obligations hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional indebtedness of the Borrowers. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other  Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
The Agent shall maintain at its domestic lending office, or at such other location as the Agent, shall designate in writing to each Lender and the Borrower Representative, a copy  of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances and the name and address of each Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”) and shall provide the Calculation Agent and the Paying Agent with notice of the names and addresses of each Lender and the amount of  each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances after giving effect to such Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and each Lender, and each party hereto may treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by the Borrowers, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and each Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Any Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to the Agent, which notice shall only be effective  upon actual receipt by the Agent,  which receipt will be acknowledged by the Agent upon request.

 

	
 
	
(e)
	
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender may sell to any financial institution or other entity (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”) a participation interest in the portion of the Advances made by 

133

 

	
 
		
such Lender  (a  “Participation”). Except as set forth in Section 10.1(a) regarding competitors of the Sponsor, the prior consent of the Borrower Representative will not be required for any Participation. No Participant shall be considered a Lender hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents.  No Participant shall have any direct rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and a Participant’s rights in respect of such participation shall be solely through the related Lender as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between the related Lender and such Participant. No participation shall relieve the related Lender from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. 

 

	
 
	
(f)
	
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release such Lender from its Commitment hereunder. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any  obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103- 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

CROSS- GUARANTY

 

Section 12.1    Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for,  and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment 

134

 

(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations and other obligations owed or hereafter owing to any Secured Party by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Article 12 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Article 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

 

	
 
	
(a)
	
the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Article 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by the Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
the insolvency of any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates; or

 

	
 
	
(e)
	
any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

 

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

 

Section 12.2    Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel any Secured Party to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and the Secured Parties that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Article 12 and such waivers, each Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement and to make any Advance requested hereunder.

Section 12.3   Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Article 12 are for the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and the Secured Parties, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

135

 

 

Section 12.4    Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Article 12, and that each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 12.4.

 

Section 12.5    Liability Cumulative.  The liability of Borrowers under this Article 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

140

 

Manager, the Guarantors, the Sponsors, the Diligence Agent and the Calculation  Agent  to access the Data Site at any time or from time to time.

Without limitation of the foregoing, no Party shall modify, alter or remove any document or information previously delivered to the Data Site except to the extent necessary to correct any error or omission, or to remove any confidential information erroneously delivered to the Data Site, in each case with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower Representative.

Concurrently  with the delivery of any notice, report, valuation, inspection, Document Package, Borrowing Notice, certification, document or other deliverable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the party required to provide such notice or deliver such deliverable, including, without limitation, the Borrowers, the Borrower Representative, the Master Property Manager, the Agent, the Lenders, the Calculation Agent and the Diligence Agent, shall post the same to the Data Site.

141

 

parties hereto with regard to the matters addressed herein and therein and all prior agreements are superseded hereby. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the parties hereby agree that no Person other than the parties hereto shall have any rights, remedies, or benefits under any provision of this Agreement.

 

Section 13.9    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 13.10    Expenses. Each of the Borrowers agrees to pay (a) all the Agent’s and the Lead Arranger’s out-of-pocket and reasonable invoiced costs and expenses of negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) all the reasonable invoiced fees, expenses and disbursements of external counsel to the Agent, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and the Lead Arranger in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any Sponsor, (c) all the out-of-pocket and reasonable invoiced costs and expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable, invoiced fees, expenses and disbursements of external counsel to the Agent and of external counsel providing any opinions that the Agent may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (d) all the out- of-pocket and reasonable invoiced costs and expenses (including the reasonable invoiced fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Diligence Agent and the Agent and their respective external counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the collateral under the Security Agreement, (e) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all out-of-pocket and reasonable invoiced costs and expenses, including external attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by each Lender and the Agent in enforcing any Obligations or in collecting any payments due from the Borrowers hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, proceeds from, or other realization upon any of the collateral) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings and (f) the Agent’s out-of-pocket and reasonable invoiced costs and expenses for, and reasonable invoiced disbursements of the Agent’s auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers incurred by the Agent in connection with any of the foregoing. The Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall pay on demand any and all stamp, sales, excise and other, similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Amounts payable under this paragraph will be payable promptly on the Effective Date (or the effective date of the applicable amendment, waiver or modification) in the case of clauses (a) and (b), 

142

 

upon receipt of invoice in the case of clause (e) above, and otherwise on the first Payment Date after such amounts have been invoiced and verified by the Borrower Representative to meet the requirements set forth herein (provided that Borrower may not unreasonably withhold or delay such verification, and such verification shall be deemed made if the Borrower has not objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such invoices).

 

Section 13.11    Indemnity.

 

Without limiting any other rights which any Secured Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law (including the right to recover damages for breach of contract and the rights pursuant to Sections 13.10), each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify, on a joint and several basis, each of the Secured Parties and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors, sub-agents and the parent company or holding company that controls such Person (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable external attorneys’ fees and disbursements and Taxes awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party to the extent relating to or arising from or as a result of this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances made by a Lender hereunder; provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent of any amounts resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, or such Indemnified Party’s breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 13.11 shall be paid by the Loan Parties to the related Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days following written demand therefor. The provisions set forth in this Section 13.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 13.12    Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be  paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Laws shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Advances Outstanding shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Advances made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of each Lender and  the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any  Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall, at each Lender’s option, 

143

 

be applied to the Advances Outstanding or be refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by each Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, a Lender may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

Section 13.13    Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder and by law, the Agent and each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Debt of any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the Agent, any such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set off and application made by such Person; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The Agent and each Lender shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as it determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that it would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to any Borrower hereunder if an Event of Default or Default has occurred.

 

If any Lender, whether by set-off or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such payment, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Obligations so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of  such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender’s exercise of set-off rights shall not change or reduce the obligations of the Loan Parties to any other Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 13.14    Confidentiality.

 

	
 
	
(a)

Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  herein contained, neither the Agent nor any Lender by entering into this Agreement or by taking any action pursuant hereto, will be deemed a partner or joint venturer with the Borrowers.

Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, (a) neither the Master Property Manager nor the Borrower Representative, each in its capacity as a creditor of a Borrower, shall, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the final payment of the Obligations of the Borrowers, petition or otherwise invoke the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an  Insolvency Proceeding against any Borrower under any Insolvency Laws or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of any Borrower or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any Borrower, (b) no Borrower, in its capacity as a creditor of the Borrower Representative, shall, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the final payment of the Obligations of the Borrowers, petition or otherwise invoke the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an Insolvency Proceeding against the Borrower Representative under any Insolvency Laws or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Borrower Representative or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Borrower Representative and (c) no Borrower, each in its capacity as a creditor of another Borrower shall, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the final payment of the Obligations of the Borrowers, petition or otherwise invoke the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an Insolvency Proceeding against  any other Borrower under any Insolvency Laws or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of any other Borrower or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any other Borrower.

 

Section 13.18    Lender Communications. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Lenders may communicate with each other concerning any matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether for the purpose of approving or objecting to matters under the Loan Documents, protecting their rights and interests, enforcing remedies or otherwise.

 

Section 13.19    Release of Sponsor.

 

	
 
	
(a)
	
If CSR ceases to be wholly-owned by COP, then COP shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including the Limited Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity), and if CCAI ceases to be wholly-owned by CSR, then both COP and CSR shall be released from their obligations under the Loan Documents, provided, in each case, that that the Sponsor Financial Covenant 

147

 

	
 
		
is complied with after giving pro forma effect to the foregoing, as demonstrated in a certificate certified by a Responsible Officer of the resulting Sponsor delivered to the Agent. 

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
If COP is released pursuant to clause (a) hereof, but CSR is not so released, then (i) COP shall be deemed no longer included in the definition of "Sponsor" and (ii) “Parent” shall be deemed to refer to CSR.   If both COP and CSR are released pursuant to clause (a) hereof, then (x) "Sponsor" shall be deemed to refer only to CCAI and (y) “Parent” shall be deemed to thereafter refer to CCAI.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
The Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative for the purposes of confirming the release of COP and/or CSR pursuant to the foregoing.

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
For the avoidance of doubt, any of COP, CSR or CCAI may merge with another Person or convert to a different legal form, provided that no Change of Control results therefrom, the surviving or resulting entity remains obligated under the Loan Documents to the same extent applicable to COP, CSR or CCAI, as applicable, and complies with all covenants applicable thereto (including, without limitation, the Sponsor Financial Covenants). Such surviving or resulting entity shall execute such joinders, reaffirmation agreements or other documents as the Agent may reasonably request for purposes of confirming the foregoing.,

Such Title Insurance Policy is in an amount at least equal to the original purchase price for such Property. The related Borrower is the sole insured under such owner’s title insurance policy and such owner’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect. No claims have been made under such owner’s title insurance policy that have not been disclosed in writing to the Agent and the Diligence Agent, and no current or prior owner of such Property, including the related Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such Title Insurance Policy. In the case of a Bid Receipt Property, or if a Title Insurance Policy provided in the Document Package with respect to a Financed Property initially consists of a marked or initialed binding commitment, then the related Borrower shall have delivered to the Document Package an Eligible Title Insurance Policy for such Financed Property within ninety (90) days following the date the Property first becomes a Financed Property.

The Asset Purchase Price of such Property is greater than $50,000, but does not exceed, for Financed Properties located in California, $750,000 and, for all other Financed Properties, $600,000; provided, however, that (i) no more than twenty percent (20%) of the Financed Properties (by Allocated Loan Amount) shall have an Asset Purchase Price of less than $75,000 and (ii) no more than twenty percent (20%) of the Financed Properties (by Allocated Loan Amount) shall have an Asset Purchase Price exceeding, for Financed Properties located in California, $400,000 and, for all other Financed Properties $300,000.
