Pursuant to the Northeast Bancorp Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as amended through the date hereof (the “Plan”), Northeast Bancorp (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Optionee named above an option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date specified above all or part of the number of shares of Voting Common Stock of the Company specified above at the Option Exercise Price per Share specified above subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. This Stock Option is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

1.     Exercisability Schedule. No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have become exercisable. Except as set forth below, and subject to the discretion of the Administrator (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) to accelerate the exercisability schedule hereunder, this Stock Option shall be exercisable with respect to the following number of Option Shares on the dates indicated, so long as Optionee remains an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such dates:

 

	 	
Incremental (Aggregate Number) 

of Option Shares Exercisable
	
Exercisability Date
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 	
33 1/3% (33 1/3%)

33 1/3% (66 2/3%)
	
Fourth Anniversary of Grant Date
	 
	 	
33 1/3% (100%)
	
Fifth Anniversary of Grant Date
	 

 

Once exercisable, this Stock Option shall continue to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, this Stock Option shall vest and become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event.

 

 

 

 

 

2.     Manner of Exercise.

 

(a)     The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Stock Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Administrator of his or her election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.

 

Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; (iv) by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; or (v) a combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.

 

The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the Shares attested to.

 

(b)     The shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.

 

 

2

 

 

(c)     The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time.

 

(d)     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.

 

3.     Termination of Employment. If the Optionee’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan) is terminated, the exercisability of this Stock Option may be accelerated and the period within which to exercise the Stock Option may be subject to earlier termination as set forth below. The Administrator’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Except as set forth below, any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of termination shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.

 

(a)     Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s death or disability (as determined by the Administrator), any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date shall become fully exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee or the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee (as applicable) for a period of 12 months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.

 

(b)     Termination for Cause. If the Optionee’s employment terminates for Cause, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date, whether or not exercisable, shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and effect. For purposes hereof, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Company and the Optionee, “Cause” for termination shall be deemed to exist upon (a) the Optionee’s continued non-performance of the Optionee’s duties to the Company or a Subsidiary (other than by reason of the Optionee’s physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability); (b) the Optionee’s commission of any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony; (c) the Optionee’s violation of any confidentiality, noncompetition or nonsolicitation covenants with respect to the Company or a Subsidiary; (d) the Optionee’s material violation of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s policies or rules material to the Optionee’s employment; (e) the Optionee’s engagement in deliberate dishonesty with regard to the Company or a Subsidiary or (f) the Optionee’s failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company or a Subsidiary to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation.

(c)     Other Termination. If the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than the Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s disability or Cause, and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. 

 

4.     Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

 

5.     Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee.

 

6.     Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Optionee may elect to have the minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due. 

 

7.     No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee in employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.

 

8.     Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.

 

9.     Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the “Relevant Information”). By entering into this Agreement, the Grantee (i) authorizes the Company to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Grantee may have with respect to the Relevant Information; (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction in which the Relevant Companies consider appropriate. The Grantee shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information. Relevant Information will only be used in accordance with applicable law.

10.     Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED WAREHOUSING

CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED WAREHOUSING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of September 11, 2017, is made by and among WALKER & DUNLOP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), WALKER & DUNLOP, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Parent” or “Guarantor”, as applicable), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as lender (the “Lender”).

 

Preliminary Statement

 

A.                                    Borrower, Parent, Lender, as a Lender and administrative agent and certain other lenders are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2013, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Original Credit Facility Agreement”), whereby upon the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth therein, Lender (and the other Lender) agreed to make Warehousing Advances from time to time, up to the Warehousing Credit Limit (as defined in the Original Credit Facility Agreement).

 

B.                                    Borrower and Parent have requested, and Lender has agreed, to amend and restate the Original Credit Facility Agreement in its entirety pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Original Credit Facility Agreement in its entirety as follows:

 

1.                                      THE CREDIT

 

1.1                               The Warehousing Commitment

 

On the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make Warehousing Advances to Borrower from the Closing Date to the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Warehousing Maturity Date, during which applicable period Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Lender has no obligation to make or maintain Warehousing Advances if, after giving effect to each requested Warehousing Advance, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Warehousing Advances would exceed the Warehousing Credit Limit.  While a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may refuse to make any additional Warehousing Advances to Borrower.  All Warehousing Advances under this Agreement constitute a single indebtedness, and all of the Collateral is security for the Warehousing Note and for the performance of all of the Obligations.

 

1.2                               Expiration of Warehousing Commitment

 

The Warehousing Commitment expires on the earlier of (“Warehousing Maturity Date”):  (a) September 10, 2018 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), on which date the Warehousing Commitment will expire of its own term and the Warehousing Advances together with all accrued and unpaid 

 

 

interest and costs and expenses will become due and payable without the necessity of Notice or action by Lender; and (b) the date the Warehousing Commitment is terminated and the Warehousing Advances become due and payable under Section 10.2(a) or 10.2(b).

 

1.3                               Warehousing Note

 

Warehousing Advances are evidenced by a certain Fifth Amended and Restated Warehousing Note, payable to Lender in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The term “Warehousing Note” as used in this Agreement includes the aforementioned Warehousing Note, together with all amendments, restatements, renewals or replacements of the original Warehousing Note and all substitutions for it.  All terms and provisions of the Warehousing Note are incorporated into this Agreement.

 

1.4                               Replacement of Warehousing Note

 

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warehousing Note or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Warehousing Note or other security document and receipt by Borrower of customary indemnification from Lender, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

 

1.5                               Nature of Obligations

 

The aggregate amount of all Warehousing Advances outstanding from time to time under this Agreement may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Loan.”

 

1.6                               Amended and Restated Guaranty

 

Parent shall continue to guaranty to Lender Borrower’s payment and performance under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in consideration for Lender’s agreement to enter into this Agreement, Parent covenants and agrees to amend and restate the existing guaranty executed in connection with the Original Credit Facility Agreement, by contemporaneously herewith executing and delivering to Lender an amended and restated guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R (the “Amended and Restated Guaranty”).

 

2.                                      PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ADVANCES

 

2.1                               Warehousing Advances

 

Borrower may obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement by delivering to Lender a completed and signed request for a Warehousing Advance on Lender’s then current form (“Warehousing Advance Request”), not later than Four O’Clock (4:00) p.m. on the Business Day that is one (1) Business Day before the Business Day on which Borrower desires the Warehousing Advance.  Warehousing Advance Requests received by Lender after Four O’Clock (4:00) p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed received on the following Business Day, provided, however, on a case-by-case basis at the request of Borrower, Lender may, in its sole discretion (and without thereby establishing any course of dealing), extend such Four O’Clock 

 

2

 

(4:00) p.m. cut-off time to a later time on the subject Business Day.  Subject to the delivery of a Warehousing Advance Request and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Borrower may obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section and in the applicable Exhibit B, including delivery to Lender of all Collateral Documents required to be delivered on the applicable dates specified in this Agreement for such delivery.  Lender’s current form of Warehousing Advance Request is set forth in Exhibit C.  Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior Notice to Borrower, Lender may modify its form of Warehousing Advance Request and any other Exhibit or document referred to in this Section to conform to current legal requirements or Lender’s practices and, as so modified, those Exhibits and documents will become part of this Agreement.

 

3.                                      INTEREST, PRINCIPAL AND FEES

 

3.1                               Interest

 

3.1(a)                          Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Borrower must pay interest on the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance from the date the Warehousing Advance is made until it is paid in full at the Applicable Rate as in effect from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Warehousing Advance is deemed to be made as of the date the title company or escrow agent handling the closing of the subject Mortgage Loan receives such Warehousing Advance.  Borrower must pay Lender, accrued interest on each Warehousing Advance on the Warehousing Advance Due Date or upon prepayment of such Warehousing Advance.

 

3.1(b)                          Lender computes interest on the basis of the actual number of days in each month and a year of Three Hundred Sixty (360) days.  Borrower must pay interest on outstanding Warehouse Advances in arrears on the Warehousing Advance Due Date and on the Warehousing Maturity Date.

 

3.1(c)                           If, for any reason, (i) Borrower repays a Warehousing Advance on the same day that it was made, or (ii) Borrower instructs Lender not to make a previously requested Warehousing Advance after Lender has reserved funds or made other arrangements necessary to enable Lender to fund that Warehousing Advance, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, without limiting the provisions of Section 3.11, for the account of Lender, interest thereon at the Applicable Rate for one day notwithstanding repayment prior to the cut-off time specified in Section 3.8(a) (unless the reason for such repayment is due to the failure of the underlying transaction to close).  Borrower must pay all such interest within five (5) Business Days after the date of Lender’s notice thereof.

 

3.1(d)                          After an Event of Default occurs, the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance will bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full.

 

3.1(e)                           Lender will adjust the rates of interest provided for in this Agreement as of the effective date of each change in the applicable Reference Rate.  Lender’s determination of such rates of interest as of any date of determination is conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

 

3

 

3.2                               Interest Limitation

 

If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute or are deemed under any applicable law to constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by Lender as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collecting of Warehousing Advances, shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Lender to the Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal (or, if no Obligations are then outstanding, shall be repaid to Borrower).  As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

 

3.3                               Principal Payments

 

3.3(a)                          Borrower must pay Lender, the outstanding principal amount of each Warehousing Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the applicable Warehousing Advance Due Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower must pay Lender the outstanding principal amount of all Warehousing Advances together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any unpaid costs and expenses, on the Warehousing Maturity Date.

 

3.3(b)                          Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1, Borrower may prepay any portion of the Warehousing Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion so prepaid, without premium or penalty at any time.

 

3.3(c)                           Borrower must pay to Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to charge its Operating Accounts for, the amount of any outstanding Warehousing Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, against a specific Pledged Loan or Pledged Security upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(i)         On the date a Warehousing Advance was made if the Pledged Loan to be funded by that Warehousing Advance has not closed and funded.

 

(ii)        Three (3) Business Days elapse from the date a Warehousing Advance was made against a Pledged Loan, without receipt of the Collateral Documents relating to that Pledged Loan required to be delivered on that date, or if such Collateral Documents, upon examination by Lender, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment and Borrower has not delivered Collateral Documents in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment within three (3) Business Days of receipt by Borrower of Notice from Lender specifying the non-compliant items.

 

4

 

(iii)       Ten (10) Business Days elapse without the return of a Collateral Document delivered by Lender to Borrower under a Trust Receipt for correction or completion.

 

(iv)       On the date on which a Pledged Loan is determined to have been originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or to be subject to fraud, whether or not Borrower had knowledge of the misrepresentation, incomplete or inaccurate information or fraud.

 

(v)        On the date on which Borrower knows, has reason to know, or receives Notice from Lender, that (A) one or more of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 9 were inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect on any date when made or deemed made or became inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect after any such date, or (B) Borrower has failed to perform or comply with any covenant, term or condition applicable to it set forth in Article 9.

 

(vi)       On the date on which a Pledged Loan or an obligation secured by a Lien senior to the Mortgage securing repayment of the Pledged Loan has been in default for a period of sixty (60) days or more (it being understood that, as provided in Section 9.1(q), no Warehousing Advance will be made against any Mortgage Loan which is in default).

 

(vii)      On the mandatory delivery date of the related Purchase Commitment if the specific Pledged Loan has not been delivered under the Purchase Commitment on or prior to such mandatory delivery date, or on the date the related Purchase Commitment expires or is terminated.

 

(viii)     Three (3) Business Days after the date a Pledged Loan is rejected for purchase by an Investor unless another Purchase Commitment is provided within that three (3) Business Day period.

 

(ix)       Upon the sale, other disposition or prepayment of any Pledged Loan or Pledged Security or, with respect to a Pledged Loan included in an Eligible Mortgage Pool, upon the sale or other disposition of the related Agency Security.

 

(x)        With respect to any Pledged Loan, any of the Collateral Documents, upon examination by Lender, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment.

 

(xi)       If, after giving effect to a new Warehousing Advance against a Pledged Loan or to the payment of existing Warehousing Advances against Pledged Loans, any of the limitations set forth in Exhibit D have been exceeded.

 

3.3(d)                          In addition to the payments required by Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(c), if the principal amount of any Pledged Loan is prepaid in whole or in part while a Warehousing Advance is outstanding against the Pledged Loan, Borrower must pay to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes 

 

5

 

Lender to charge its Operating Accounts for, the amount of the prepayment, to be applied against the Warehousing Advance.

 

3.3(e)                           The proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Pledged Loan or Pledged Security must be paid directly by the Investor to Borrower’s Cash Collateral Account.  Borrower must give Notice to Lender in writing of the Pledged Loan or Pledged Security for which proceeds have been received (including Notice to Lender in writing of any prepayment).  Upon receipt of such Notice, Lender will apply any proceeds deposited into the applicable Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Warehousing Advances related to the Pledged Loan or Pledged Security identified by Borrower in its Notice, and such Pledged Loan or Pledged Security will be considered to have been redeemed from pledge to the extent the related Warehousing Advance has been paid in full.  Lender is entitled to rely upon a Borrower’s affirmation that deposits in the applicable Cash Collateral Account represent payments from Investors for the purchase of the Pledged Loan or Pledged Security specified by Borrower in its Notice.  If the payment from an Investor for the purchase of a Pledged Loan or Pledged Security is less than the outstanding Warehousing Advances against such Pledged Loan or Pledged Security identified by Borrower in its Notice, Borrower must pay to Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to charge Borrower’s Operating Accounts for, an amount equal to that deficiency.  As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender will return to Borrower any excess payment from an Investor for such Pledged Loan or Pledged Security.

 

3.3(f)                            Lender reserves the right at any time to revalue any Pledged Loan or Pledged Security.  Borrower must pay to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to charge Borrower’s Operating Accounts for, any amount required after any such revaluation to reduce the principal amount of the Warehousing Advance outstanding against the revalued Pledged Loan or Pledged Security to an amount equal to the Advance Rate for the applicable type of Pledged Loan or Pledged Security multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Pledged Loan or Pledged Security.

 

3.4                               Facility Fee

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender an annual facility fee in an amount equal to two-tenths of one percent (.2%) of the Warehousing Credit Limit (the “Facility Fee”), to be paid quarterly in arrears, commencing on the first Business Day of each Calendar Quarter following the Closing Date during the term of this Agreement.  In the event Borrower exercises its right under Section 3.13 hereof and seeks an incremental increase of the Standard Warehousing Credit Limit up to the Maximum Warehousing Credit Limit, contemporaneously with Borrower’s request for a Warehousing Advance relating to such incremental increase, Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional commitment fee in the amount of $10,000 for each Minimum Incremental Amount. For example, if the Standard Warehousing Credit Limit were increased by Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000), the additional commitment fee shall be $20,000.  Said fee shall be due and payable in connection with each increase of the Standard Warehousing Credit Limit

3.5                               [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

3.6                               Miscellaneous Fees and Charges

 

Borrower must pay or reimburse Lender, as applicable, for all Miscellaneous Fees and Charges.  Borrower must pay all Miscellaneous Fees and Charges within five (5) Business Days after the date of Lender’s notice thereof.

 

3.7                               Overdraft Advances

 

If, under the authorization given by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, Lender debits Borrower’s Operating Account to honor an item presented against an Operating Account and that debit or direction results in an overdraft, Lender may make an additional advance to fund that overdraft (“Overdraft Advance”).  Borrower must pay (a) the outstanding amount of any Overdraft Advance, within three (3) Business Days after the date of the Overdraft Advance, and (b) interest on the amount of the Overdraft Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus Two percent (2%), within three (3) Business Days after the date of Lender’s notice thereof.

 

3.8                               Method of Making Payments

 

3.8(a)                          (i)                           All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments by wire transfer to Lender, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to Five O’clock (5:00) p.m.; payments received after Five O’clock (5:00) p.m. shall be credited on the next Business Day.  All payments (regardless of whether such payment is sufficient to pay fully all Obligations then due and payable) shall be applied (A) first to the payment of all fees, expenses, and other amounts due to Lender (excluding principal and interest), then (B) second to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to Lender (excluding principal and interest), then (C) third to accrued interest, and then (D) fourth to outstanding principal.  If the due date is not a Business Day, payment is due on, and interest will accrue to, the next Business Day.

 

3.8(b)                          Subject to Section 3.8(c) below, Borrower authorizes Lender to charge Borrower’s Operating Accounts for any interest or fees due and payable to Lender after giving at least two (2) Business Days’ Notice to Borrower.

 

3.8(c)                           While a Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower authorizes Lender to charge Borrower’s Operating Accounts for any Obligations due and payable to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender.

 

3.8(d)                          All payments made on account of the Obligations shall be made by Borrower to Lender.  No principal payments resulting from the refinancing, sale or other disposition of Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities shall be deemed to have been received by Lender until Lender has also received the Notice required under Section 3.3(e).

3.9                               Billings

 

Any changes in the interest rate and in the outstanding amount of the Obligations which occur between the date of any billing and the due date of any payment may be reflected in adjustments in the billing for a subsequent month.  Neither the failure of Lender to submit a bill, nor any error in any such bill shall excuse Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all Borrower’s payment obligations when due.

 

3.10                        Late Charges

 

Borrower shall pay, upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to three percent (3%) of the amount of any payment of principal (other than principal due at the Warehousing Maturity Date or the date on which Lender accelerates the time for payment of the Loan after the occurrence of an Event of Default), interest, or fees, which fees are not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof.  Late Charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate; (b) intended to compensate Lender for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments; (c) not interest; and (d) not subject to refund or rebate or credit against any other amount due.

 

3.11                        Additional Provisions Relating to Interest Rate

 

3.11(a)                   If Lender has determined, after the date hereof, that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from Lender to Borrower and delivery by Lender of a statement setting forth the reduction in the rate of return experienced by Lender and the amount necessary to compensate Lender under this Section 3.11(a), Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction.  Each determination by Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

 

3.11(b)                   If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Applicable Daily Floating LIBO Rate for any day; or (ii) the Daily LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding (including maintaining) Warehousing Advances, then Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof, and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Loan (and all outstanding and future Warehousing Advances under the Loan) shall bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate.

 

8

 

3.11(c)                    Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Lender hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.11(c)) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

3.11(d)                   Borrower also agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).  Further, if Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

 

3.11(e)                    Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.11) paid by any of them and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; (ii) any other amounts payable under Section 3.11; and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Payment under this Section 3.11(e) shall be made within 30 days after the date that Lender makes a demand therefor.

 

3.11(f)                     In the event that Borrower is required to pay or withhold any amount pursuant to Sections 3.11(c), 3.11(d), or 3.11(e), which results in Borrower paying more than would have been the case without regard to such Sections (an “Excess Payment”), Borrower shall have the option to terminate the Warehousing Commitment in its entirety (but not in part) and this Agreement (other than as to those provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement), by giving Notice to Lender specifying the effective date of such termination, which Notice may be given no earlier than three (3) Business Days after making an Excess Payment and no later than thirty (30) days after 

 

9

 

making an Excess Payment.  Upon the effective date of the termination of this Agreement by Borrower pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall pay all of the Obligations in full.

 

3.11(g)                    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (x) any change in law shall make it unlawful for Lender to make Warehousing Advances as LIBOR Loans, or to maintain outstanding Warehousing Advances as LIBOR Loans or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to the Loan or any particular Warehousing Advance as a LIBOR Loan or (y) at any time Lender reasonably determines that the making or continuance of LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower (i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by Lender hereunder, whereupon all subsequent Warehousing Advances will be made as Base Rate Loans unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and/or (ii) require that any then outstanding Warehousing Advances be converted to Base Rate Loans (and thereby bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate), as of the effective date of such notice.

 

3.12                        Continuing Authority of Authorized Representatives

 

Lender is authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Persons hereafter designated by Borrower (“Authorized Representatives”) to bind Borrower with respect to all matters pertaining to the Loan and the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the submission of requests for Warehousing Advances, and certificates with regard thereto, instructions with regard to the Operating Accounts and, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, the Collateral, and matters pertaining to the procedures and documentation for Warehousing Advances.  Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice to Lender accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of the authority of the person giving such notice and such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof by Lender.  The Authorized Representatives as of the Closing Date are listed on Exhibit E.  Lender shall have a right of approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, over the identity of the Authorized Representatives so as to assure Lender that each Authorized Representative is a responsible and senior official of Borrower.

 

3.13                        Increases to Standard Warehousing Credit Limit

 

Borrower shall have the right, upon no less than five days prior written notice to Lender, during the term of this Agreement, to request one or more incremental increases to the Standard Warehousing Credit Limit, in amounts of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) each (each is herein a “Minimum Incremental Amount”), up to the Maximum Warehousing Credit Limit.  Borrower’s notice shall indicate (i) the amount of the incremental increase of the Standard Warehousing Credit Limit and (ii) the effective date for the increase of the Standard Warehousing Credit Limit.  Any incremental increase shall be made at the discretion of Lender, provided that Lender’s consent to such incremental increase shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Provided such incremental increase is approved by Lender, said incremental increase of the

 

10

 

Standard Warehousing Credit Limit shall remain in effect for a period of forty five (45) days following such effective date.

13

 

4.1, or Pledged Security against payment of the Release Amount for such Pledged Loan or for the Pledged Loans backing that Pledged Security.

 

4.3(f)                            The amount to be paid by Borrower to obtain the release of Lender’s security interest in a Pledged Loan and all of the Collateral related to such Pledged Loan, as such Collateral is described in Section 4.1 (“Release Amount”) will be (1) in connection with the sale of a Pledged Loan by Lender while an Event of Default exists, the amount paid to Lender in a commercially reasonable disposition of that Pledged Loan and (2) otherwise, the principal amount of the Warehousing Advance outstanding against the Pledged Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

 

4.4                               Collection and Servicing Rights

 

4.4(a)                          If no Event of Default exists, Borrower may service and receive and collect directly all sums payable to Borrower in respect of the Collateral other than proceeds of any Purchase Commitment or proceeds of the sale of any Collateral.  All proceeds of any Purchase Commitment or any other sale of Collateral must be paid directly to the Cash Collateral Account for application as provided in this Agreement.

 

4.4(b)                          After an Event of Default occurs and remains continuing, Lender or its designee is entitled to service and receive and collect all sums payable to Borrower in respect of the Collateral, and in such case, subject to any applicable requirements of the relevant Federal Agency, (1) Lender or its designee in its discretion may, in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but Lender has no obligation to do so, (2) Borrower must, if Lender requests it to do so, hold in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately pay to Lender at its office designated by Notice, all amounts received by Borrower upon or in respect of any of the Collateral, advising Lender as to the source of those funds, and (3) all amounts so received and collected by Lender will be held by it as part of the Collateral and applied by Lender as provided in this Agreement.

 

4.5                               Return of Collateral at End of Warehousing Commitment

 

If (a) the Warehousing Commitment has expired or has been terminated, and (b) no Warehousing Advances, interest or other Obligations are outstanding and unpaid, Lender will release its security interest and will deliver all Collateral in its possession to Borrower at Borrower’s expense.  Borrower’s acknowledgement or receipt for any Collateral released or delivered to Borrower under any provision of this Agreement is a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so returned, and Lender is discharged from any liability or responsibility for that Collateral.

 

4.6                               Delivery of Collateral Documents

 

4.6(a)                          Lender may deliver documents relating to the Collateral to Borrower for correction or completion under a Trust Receipt.

4.6(b)                          If no Default or Event of Default exists, upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of shipping instructions pursuant to the applicable Exhibit B, Lender will deliver the Mortgage Notes evidencing Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities together with all related loan documents and pool documents previously received by Lender under the requirements of the applicable Exhibit B to the designated Investor or Approved Custodian or to another party designated by Borrower and acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

 

4.6(c)                           If a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may, without liability to Borrower or any other Person, continue to deliver Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities, together with all related loan documents and pool documents in Lender’s possession, to the applicable Investor or Approved Custodian or to another party acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

 

4.7                               Borrower Remains Liable

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall remain liable under each item of the Collateral granted by it to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms thereof and any other agreement giving rise thereto, and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof.  Whether or not Lender has exercised any rights in any of the Collateral, Lender shall not have any obligation or liability (other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct) under any of the Collateral (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Borrower under or pursuant to any of the Collateral (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any of the Collateral (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

10.2                        Remedies

 

10.2(a)                   If an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(h) occurs with respect to Borrower, the Warehousing Commitment will automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Warehousing Note and all other Obligations will automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand or other Notice or requirements of any kind, all of which Borrower expressly waives.

 

10.2(b)                   If an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a) occurs with respect to Borrower, Lender may terminate the Warehousing Commitment and declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

 

10.2(c)                    If any other Event of Default occurs, Lender may by Notice to Borrower, terminate the Warehousing Commitment and declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

 

10.2(d)                   If any Event of Default occurs, Lender may also take any of the following actions:

 

38

 

(i)                           Foreclose upon or otherwise enforce its security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to secure all payments and performance of the Obligations in any manner permitted by law or provided for in the Loan Documents.

 

(ii)                        Notify all obligors under any of the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Lender (or to another Person designated by Lender) and that all payments on that Collateral are to be made directly to Lender (or such other Person); settle, compromise or release, in whole or in part, any amounts any obligor or Investor owes on any of the Collateral on terms acceptable to Lender; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding involving any of the Collateral; and where any Collateral is in default, foreclose on and enforce any Liens securing that Collateral in any manner permitted by law and sell any property acquired as a result of those enforcement actions.

 

(iii)                     Prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements evidencing the assignment to Lender or its designee of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement filed in connection with any item of Collateral.

 

(iv)                    Act, or contract with a third party to act at Borrower’s expense, as servicer or subservicer of Collateral requiring servicing and perform all obligations required under any Collateral, including Servicing Contracts and Purchase Commitments.

 

(v)                       Require Borrower to assemble and make available to Lender the Collateral and all related books and records at a place designated by Lender.

 

(vi)                    Enter onto property where any Collateral or related books and records are located and take possession of those items with or without judicial process; and obtain access to Borrower’s respective data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and use all of the foregoing and the information contained in the foregoing in any manner Lender deems necessary for the purpose of effectuating its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

 

(vii)                 Before the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Lender deems appropriate.

 

(viii)              Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Commercial Code of Pennsylvania or other applicable law, including selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales, whether or not the Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on terms and conditions and in the manner as Lender may determine, including sale under any applicable Purchase Commitment.  Borrower waives any right it may have to prior notice of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral to the extent allowed by applicable law.  If notice is required under applicable law, Lender will give Borrower not less than ten (10) days’ notice of any public sale or of the date after which any private sale may be held.  Borrower agrees that ten (10) days’ notice is reasonable notice.  Lender may, without notice 

 

39

 

or publication, adjourn any public or private sale one or more times by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and the sale may be held at any time or place announced at the adjournment.  In the case of a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral sold on those terms may be retained by Lender until the purchaser pays the selling price or takes possession of the Collateral.  Lender has no liability to Borrower if a purchaser fails to pay for or take possession of Collateral sold on those terms, and in the case of any such failure, Lender may sell the Collateral again upon notice complying with this Section.

 

(ix)                    Lender may proceed by suit at law or in equity to collect all amounts due on the Collateral, or to foreclose Lender’s Lien on and sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(x)                       Proceed against Borrower on the Warehousing Note.

 

10.2(e)                    Lender will not incur any liability as a result of the commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral at any public or private sale or other disposition.  Borrower waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against Lender or any Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, or was less than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Warehousing Advances, accrued and unpaid interest on those Warehousing Advances, and unpaid fees, even if Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.  Borrower agrees that any sale of Collateral under the terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other disposition of Collateral arranged by Borrower, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

10.2(f)                     Borrower acknowledges that the Mortgage Loans are collateral of a type that are the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations and that Mortgage-backed Securities are collateral of a type that are customarily sold on a recognized market.  Borrower waives any right it may have to prior notice of the sale of Pledged Securities, and agrees that Lender or any Lender may purchase Pledged Loans and Pledged Securities at a private sale of such Collateral.

 

10.2(g)                    Borrower specifically waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal that Borrower has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or adopted after the date of this Agreement, and any right to require Lender or any Lender to (1) proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies against the Collateral in any particular order or (3) pursue any other remedy within its power.  Lender is not required to take any action to preserve any rights of Borrower against holders of mortgages having priority to the Lien of any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral or to preserve Borrower’s rights against other prior parties.

 

40

 

10.2(h)                   Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold or enforce the Lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral, including payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums.  All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement of this Agreement, together with interest on those amounts at the Default Rate, from the time paid by Lender until repaid by Borrower, are deemed to be principal outstanding under this Agreement and the Warehousing Note.

 

10.2(i)                       No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy.  No single or partial exercise by Lender or any Lender of any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, precludes any other or further exercise of that right, power or remedy by Lender, or Lender’s exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations to the extent permitted by law.  The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

 

10.2(j)                      Borrower grants Lender a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s computer programs, other programs, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling any of the Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all other agreements related to the foregoing inure to Lender’s benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.

 

10.3                        Insufficiency of Proceeds

 

If the proceeds realized from any sale, disposition or other enforcement rights with respect to the Collateral are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such sale, disposition or other enforcement rights with respect to the Collateral and payment in full of all Obligations, then Borrower shall be liable for the deficiency.  Nothing herein shall require Lender to look to all or any portion of the Collateral prior to, or in lieu of, pursuing any other right or remedy, any or all of which may be pursued in any order and at any time, including at the same time.

 

10.4                        Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact

 

Borrower appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note and the other Loan Documents and taking any action and executing any instruments that Lender deems necessary or advisable to accomplish that purpose.  Borrower’s appointment of Lender as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may give notice of its security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to any Person, either in Borrower’s name or in its own name, endorse all Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities payable 

 

41

 

to the order of Borrower, change or cause to be changed the book-entry registration or name of subscriber or Investor on any Pledged Security, prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with any item of Collateral or receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing payment on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities and give full discharge for those transactions.  The foregoing appointment shall be effective immediately with respect to ministerial matters, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to all other matters.

 

10.5                        Right of Set-Off

 

Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody safekeeping or control of Lender or any entity under the control of Lender, and their respective successors and assigns or in transit to any of them, other than third-party custodial accounts maintained by Borrower at Lender.  Upon occurrence of an  Event of Default with respect to the payment of any Obligation or in the performance of any of its duties under the Loan Documents, Lender may, as determined in such party’s sole discretion, without Notice to or demand on Borrower (which Notice or demand Borrower expressly waives), set-off, appropriate or apply any property of Borrower held at any time by Lender, or any indebtedness at any time owed by Lender to or for the account of a Borrower, against the Obligations, whether or not those Obligations have matured and irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The rights of Lender under this Section 10.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender may have.  Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH NON-CUSTODIAL DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

10.6                        Application of Funds.

 

After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 10 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in this Section 10), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Lender in the following order:

 

(i)                         First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Lender) payable to Lender in its capacity as such;

 

(ii)                      Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to 

 

42

 

Lender(including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lender) arising under the Loan Documents;

 

(iii)                   Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and the other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents;

 

(iv)                  Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans; and

 

(v)                     Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

 

11.                               MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1                        Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.1.1  Lender, and Borrower and Guarantor may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of Lender or the Borrower or Guarantor, or may grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder.  Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind Lender, Borrower and Guarantor; provided, that no such agreement, waiver or consent may be made which will:

 

(i)                         Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal, Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment.  Whether or not any Warehousing Advances are outstanding, extend the Warehousing Maturity Date or the time for payment of principal or interest of any Loan (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of a Loan), the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Loan or reduce the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to Lender, without the written consent of Lender;

 

(ii)                        Conditions Precedent.  Waive any condition set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2 and Exhibit B, without the written consent of Lender;

 

(iii)                     Collateral Release.  Release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of Lender;

 

(iv)                    Guaranty Release.  Release, whether in part or in whole, the Parent from any obligations arising under or evidenced by the Amended and Restated Guaranty, without the written consent of Lender;

 

(v)                       Pro Rata Share.  Amend, alter or modify any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of Lender or requiring Lender to authorize the taking of any action, in each case without the written consent of Lender;

 

provided that no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or obligations of Lender may be made without the written consent of Lender.

 

43

 

11.2                        No Implied Waivers, Cumulative Remedies.

 

No course of dealing and no delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.  The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.

 

11.3                        Notices

 

All communications required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement (“Notices”) must be in writing and must be sent by one or more of the following methods, with confirmed receipt of delivery: (i) manual delivery; (ii) overnight courier; (iii) United States mail (postage prepaid), or (iv) subject to the limitation below, e-mail transmission in accordance with electronic delivery protocols provided by Lender to Borrower, addressed as follows (or at such other address as may be designated by Borrower or Lender in a Notice to the other):

Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.3, all periods of Notice will be measured from the date of delivery if delivered manually or electronically, from the first Business Day after the date of sending if sent by overnight courier or from 4 days after the date of mailing if sent by United States mail except that Notices to Lender under Article 2, and Section 3.3(e) will be deemed to have been given only when actually received by Lender.  The Borrower authorizes Lender to accept the Borrower’s Warehousing Advance Requests, shipping requests, wire transfer instructions, security delivery instructions and other routine communications concerning the Warehousing Commitment and the Collateral transmitted to Lender by electronic transmission (including facsimile or e-mail) and those documents, when transmitted to Lender by electronic transmission have the same force and effect as the originals; provided, however, any notice pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which is intended to  inform Lender of or allege any claim, cause of action, failure of performance or breach or default by or on behalf of any party to this Agreement, is not permitted to be made by electronic transmission.  Any permitted electronic transmission to Lender shall be delivered only during the normal business operating hours of Lender, and if any notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date shall be deemed to have commenced as of 11:00 a.m. eastern time on the next business day for the recipient.  Lender shall not incur any liability to the Borrower for acting upon any electronic transmission or telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which Lender believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Borrower shall

(i)                           Minimum Amounts.

 

(a)                                 In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans at the time owing to it, no minimum amount shall be assigned;

(ii)                        Proportionate Amounts.              Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment assigned.

 

(iii)                     Consent of Lender.                                        The consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall be

 

50

 

required for an assignment of any or part of a Lender’s Commitment, except an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

(iv)                    Assignment and Assumption.

Subject to acceptance thereof by Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 11.20, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.20(b) below.

 

11.20(b)            Lender may at any time enter into participation agreements with one or more participating Lender whereby Lender may allocate certain percentages of the Warehousing Credit Limit to such participant(s), provided that no participant shall have, except as provided below, any voting or consent rights on any issue with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  No participant shall be entitled to require Lender to take or refrain from taking any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such participant shall be considered to be a “Lender” for purposes of Sections 3.11, 10.5, and 11.4 with respect to its participation; provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount than Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the participation effected by Lender had no participation occurred.  Borrower acknowledges that, for the convenience of all parties, this Agreement is being entered into with Lender only and that its obligations under this Agreement are, to the extent expressly provided for in this Section 11.20, undertaken for the benefit of, and as an inducement to, any such participating Lender as well as Lender.  Any grant of a participation by Lender shall not discharge, reduce or otherwise affect Lender’s obligation under this Agreement to fund Warehousing Advances, which obligation shall remain primary and absolute.  Such grants of participations shall not affect or diminish the rights of the granting Lender to reimbursement or other payments which may become due to Lender under this Agreement and such reimbursements and other payments will be calculated 

 

51

 

as if said Lender had not granted any such participation.  Except as provided for herein, no participant shall have, by virtue of any participation, any rights or benefits under this Agreement or claims of any kind against Borrower.

 

11.20(c)             Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any participant or assignee (each, a “Participant”) and any prospective Participant any and all information in Lender’s possession concerning Borrower which has been delivered to Lender by Borrower in connection with Lender’s credit evaluation of Borrower.  Borrower shall assist Lender in effectuating any assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.20 (including during syndication) in whatever manner Lender reasonably deems necessary, including the participation in meetings with prospective Participants.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Walker & Dunlop, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) must observe the following procedures and documentation requirements in all respects.  All documents must be satisfactory to PNC Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Lender”) in its sole discretion.  Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit without further definition have the meanings set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement between Borrower and Lender (as amended, restated, renewed or replaced, the “Agreement”).  Fannie Mae form numbers used in this Exhibit are for convenience only and Borrower must use the equivalent forms required at the time of delivery of a Pledged Loan or a Pledged Security.

 

I.                                        At least Three (3) Business Days prior to the Warehousing Advance Date, Lender must receive a letter signed by Borrower, providing the following information on the Pledged Loan:

8.                                      In the event Borrower self-funded the Mortgage Loan with unencumbered funds (herein a “Pre-funded Mortgage Loan”), then in alternative to clause I, 7 above, the original closing date of the Pre-funded Mortgage Loan.

 

II.                                   At least One (1) Business Day prior to the Warehousing Advance Date, Borrower will send via overnight carrier or electronically to Lender, for receipt before 11:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) the following Business Day, the following:

2.                                      A letter from Borrower providing the following additional information on the Pledge Loan:

 

(a)                                 Note Rate.

(c)                                  Discount (if any).

6.                                      For Fannie Mae DUS Mortgage Loans, a copy of the confirmed Fannie Mae Multifamily MBS/DUS Commitment printed from the C&D System.

 

7.                                      If a Mortgage-backed Security is to be issued, a copy of the Purchase Commitment or trade confirmations for the Pledged Security.

 

8.                                      Original, facsimile or other electronic copy of Lender’s escrow instructions letter to the settlement attorney, countersigned by an authorized representative of the settlement attorney involved with the transaction, in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as (a) Exhibit N-1 if the settlement attorney will also be acting as the bailee with respect to the Mortgage Note or (b) Exhibit N-2 if the settlement attorney will not be acting as the bailee with respect to the Mortgage Note (the “Escrow Letter”).  The foregoing conditions shall not be applicable in the event the Warehousing Advance is to be used to reimburse Borrower for any Pre-funded Mortgage Loan.

 

No Warehousing Advance will be made by Lender prior to Lender’s receipt of all the documents required under Section II above.  Lender has a reasonable time (one (1) Business Day under ordinary circumstances) to examine Borrower’s Warehousing Advance Request and the related documents to be delivered by Borrower before funding the requested Warehousing Advance, and may reject any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of this Exhibit, the Agreement or of the related Purchase Commitment.

 

In accordance with the Escrow Letter, if applicable, disbursement will be authorized only after the settlement attorney or closing counsel takes possession, on behalf of Lender, of the signed Mortgage Note, endorsed by Borrower in blank and without recourse, and the title company is prepared to issue its title insurance policy.  Immediately after disbursement, the settlement attorney, the closing attorney or title company (herein, the “Closing Agent”) must send the original of the Mortgage Note to Lender for receipt by Lender on the following Business Day.  In the event the Pledged Loan is not closed and the related Mortgage submitted for recording by

4:30 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of the Warehousing Advance, the Closing Agent must  return the Warehousing Advance immediately to the account specified in Lender’s escrow instructions unless otherwise approved by Lender prior to such time; provided, however, that the Warehousing Advance may remain with the title company for up to two (2) Business Days with prior written notice to Lender and, if longer than two (2) Business Days, with prior written approval of Lender.

 

The foregoing arrangements, which permit Lender to fund the Warehousing Advance after the Mortgage Note has been delivered to a third person on behalf of, and as agent and bailee for, Lender, and before the Mortgage Note is received by Lender, are for the convenience of Borrower.  Borrower retains all risk of loss or nondelivery of the Mortgage Note, and Lender does not have any liability or responsibility for those risks.

 

For any Warehousing Advance relating to a Pre-funded Mortgage Loan, the parties shall not engage a Closing Agent or utilize an Escrow Letter.

 

III.                              On The Warehousing Advance Date, Lender must receive the following:

The foregoing conditions shall not be applicable in the event the Warehousing Advance is to be used to reimburse Borrower for any Pre-funded Mortgage Loan.

 

Exhibit B-2-A-2

 

10.                               For FHA Construction Mortgage Loans, a copy of the Application for Insurance of Advance of Mortgage Proceeds (HUD Form 92403) to be submitted to HUD.

 

No Warehousing Advance will be made by Lender prior to Lender’s receipt of all documents required under Section II above.  Lender has a reasonable time (one (1) Business Day under ordinary circumstances) to examine Borrower’s Warehousing Advance Request and the related documents to be delivered by Borrower before funding the requested Warehousing Advance, and may reject any Eligible Mortgage that does not meet the requirements of this Exhibit, the Agreement or of the related Purchase Commitment.

 

In accordance with the Escrow Letter, if applicable, in the event the Pledged Loan is not closed and the related Mortgage submitted for recording by 4:30 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of the Warehousing Advance, the settlement attorney or closing counsel must return the Warehousing Advance immediately to the account specified in Lender’s escrow instructions, unless otherwise approved by Lender prior to such time; provided, however, that the Warehousing Advance may remain with the title company for up to two (2) Business Days with prior written notice to Lender, and if longer than two (2) Business Days, with prior written approval of Lender.

 

The foregoing arrangements, which permit Lender to fund the Warehousing Advance after the Mortgage Note has been delivered to a third person on behalf of, and as agent and bailee for, Lender, and before the Mortgage Note is received by Lender, are for the convenience of Borrower.  Borrower retains all risk of loss or non-delivery of the Mortgage Note, and Lender does not have any liability or responsibility for those risks.

 

For any Warehousing Advance relating to a Pre-funded Mortgage Loan, the parties shall not engage a settlement attorney or closing counsel, or utilize an Escrow Letter.

 

III.                              On the Warehousing Advance Date, Lender must receive the following:

 

1.                                      For any Warehousing Advance other than one relating to a Pre-funded Mortgage Loan, the following:

(f)                                   To the extent applicable, written notice by electronic mail or facsimile authorizing Lender to disburse funds to the Escrow Agent as set forth in the Escrow Letter, to be held in trust by the Escrow Agent pending the Borrower’s authorization to release such funds.

PROCEDURES AND DOCUMENTATION FOR WAREHOUSING

FREDDIE MAC PROGRAM PLUS LOANS

 

Walker & Dunlop, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) must observe the following procedures and documentation requirements in all respects.  All documents must be satisfactory to PNC Bank, N.A., a national banking association (the “Lender”) in its sole discretion.  Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit without further definition have the meanings set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement among Borrower, Lender, and Lender party thereto (as amended, restated, renewed or replaced, the “Agreement”).  Freddie Mac form numbers used in this Exhibit are for convenience only and Borrower must use the equivalent forms required at the time of delivery of a Pledged Loan or a Pledged Security.

 

I.                                        At least Three (3) Business Days prior to the Warehousing Advance Date, Lender must receive a letter signed by Borrower, providing the following information on the Pledged Loan:

8.                                      Name, street address, e-mail address, telephone number and telecopier number of title company and settlement attorney and contact person.  Must identify who will be responsible for custody of closing documents and delivery of required items to Lender.

 

9.                                      In the event Borrower self-funded the Mortgage Loan with unencumbered funds (herein a “Pre-funded Mortgage Loan”), then in the alternative to clause I, 7 above, the original closing date of the Pre-funded Mortgage Loan.

 

Upon receipt of Borrower’s letter required under this Section I, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, Lender will issue its escrow instructions letter to the title company or the settlement attorney, to the extent applicable.

 

EXHIBIT B-3-A-1

 

II.                                   At least One (1) Business Day prior to the Warehousing Advance Date, Borrower will send to Lender, for receipt before 11:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) the following Business Day, the following:

 

1.                                      An original or facsimile (with original to be forwarded via overnight delivery) of the Warehousing Advance Request subject to changes to be communicated in writing by Borrower to Lender before 11:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the day of the Warehousing Advance.

 

2.                                      A letter from Borrower providing the following additional information on the Pledge Loan:

(c)                                  Discount (if any).

 

3.                                      A sources and uses statement prepared by Borrower must be delivered on the date of the Warehousing Advance, prior to funding (but a copy of the closing settlement statement shall be delivered to Lender following the Warehousing Advance).

 

4.                                      A completed and executed Loan Disbursement Authorization in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.

 

5.                                      A copy of the executed Purchase Commitment (which must conform to requirements of the Agreement).

 

6.                                      Original or facsimile of Lender’s escrow instructions letter to the settlement attorney, countersigned by an authorized representative of the settlement attorney involved with the transaction, in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as (a) Exhibit N-1 if the settlement attorney will also be acting as the bailee with respect to the Mortgage Note or (b) Exhibit N-2 if the settlement attorney will not be acting as the bailee with respect to the Mortgage Note. (the “Escrow Letter”).  The foregoing conditions shall not be applicable in the event the Warehousing Advance is to be used to reimburse Borrower for a Pre-funded Mortgage Loan.

 

No Warehousing Advance will be made by Lender prior to Lender’s receipt of all the documents required under Section II above.  Lender has a reasonable time (one (1) Business Day under ordinary circumstances) to examine Borrower’s Warehousing Advance Request and the related documents to be delivered by Borrower before funding the requested Warehousing Advance, and may reject any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of this Exhibit, the Agreement or of the related Purchase Commitment.

 

In accordance with the Escrow Letter, if applicable, disbursement will be authorized only after the settlement attorney or closing counsel takes possession, on behalf of Lender, of the signed Mortgage Note, endorsed by Borrower in blank and without recourse, and the title company is prepared to issue its title insurance policy.  Immediately after disbursement, the settlement 

 

EXHIBIT B-3-A-2

 

attorney, the closing attorney or title company (herein, the “Closing Agent”) must send the original  of the Mortgage Note to Lender for receipt by Lender on the following Business Day.  In the event the Pledged Loan is not closed and the related Mortgage submitted for recording by 4:30 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of the Warehousing Advance, the Closing Agent must return the Warehousing Advance immediately to the account specified in Lender’s escrow instructions unless otherwise approved by Lender prior to such time; provided, however, that the Warehousing Advance may remain with the title company for up to two (2) Business Days with prior written notice to Lender and, if longer than two (2) Business Days, with prior written approval of Lender.

 

The foregoing arrangements, which permit Lender to fund the Warehousing Advance after the Mortgage Note has been delivered to a third person on behalf of, and as agent and bailee for, Lender, and before the Mortgage Note is received by Lender, are for the convenience of Borrower.  Borrower retains all risk of loss or nondelivery of the Mortgage Note, and Lender has no liability or responsibility for those risks.

 

For any Warehousing Advance relating to a Pre-funded Mortgage Loan, the parties shall not engage a Closing Agent or utilize an Escrow Letter.

 

III.                              On the Warehousing Advance Date, Lender must receive the following:

 

1.                                      For any Warehousing Advance other than one relating to a Pre-funded Mortgage Loan, the following:

4.                                      A completed and executed Loan Disbursement Authorization in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.

 

5.                                      A copy of the executed Purchase Commitment (which must conform to requirements of the Agreement).

 

6.                                      Original or facsimile of Lender’s escrow instructions letter to the settlement attorney, countersigned by an authorized representative of the settlement attorney involved with the transaction, in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as (a) Exhibit N-1 if the settlement attorney will also be acting as the bailee with respect to the Governmental Note or (b) Exhibit N-2 if the settlement attorney will not be acting as the bailee with respect to the Governmental Note.  The foregoing conditions shall not be applicable in the event the Warehousing Advance is to be used to reimburse Borrower for any Pre-funded Mortgage Loan.

 

No Warehousing Advance will be made by Lender prior to Lender’s receipt of all the documents required under Section II above.  Lender has a reasonable time (one (1) Business Day under ordinary circumstances) to examine Borrower’s Warehousing Advance Request and the related 

 

EXHIBIT B-3-B-2

 

documents to be delivered by Borrower before funding the requested Warehousing Advance, and  may reject any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of this Exhibit, the Agreement or of the related Purchase Commitment.

 

In accordance with the Escrow Letter, if applicable, disbursement will be authorized only after the settlement attorney or closing counsel takes possession, on behalf of Lender, of the signed Governmental Note, endorsed by Borrower in blank and without recourse, and the title company is prepared to issue its title insurance policy.  Immediately after disbursement, the settlement attorney, the closing attorney or title company (herein, the “Closing Agent”) must send the original of the Governmental Note to Lender for receipt by Lender on the following Business Day.

The foregoing arrangements, which permit Lender to fund the Warehousing Advance after the Governmental Note has been delivered to a third person on behalf of, and as agent and bailee for, Lender, and before the Governmental Note is received by Lender, are for the convenience of Borrower.  Borrower retains all risk of loss or nondelivery of the Governmental Note, and neither Lender nor any Lender has any liability or responsibility for those risks.

Reference is made to that certain Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement between Walker & Dunlop, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), Lender and PNC Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Lender”), dated as of September 11, 2017(as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, renewed or restated from time to time, the “Agreement”).  All capitalized terms and all Section numbers used herein refer to those terms and Sections set forth in the Agreement.  This Compliance Certificate is submitted to Lender pursuant to Section 7.2(c) of the Agreement.

 

The undersigned hereby certifies to Lender that, as of the close of business on                  (“Statement Date”):

 

1.                                      As demonstrated by the attached calculations supporting this Compliance Certificate, no Event of Default exists under Sections 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 8.11, 8.12, 8.16 and 8.17 of the Agreement, or, if any such Event of Default exists, a detailed explanation is attached setting forth the nature and the period of existence of any Default or Event of Default, and the action Borrower has taken, is taking, or proposes to take with respect to that Default or Event of Default and/or fail to comply.

 

2.                                      I have reviewed the terms of the Agreement, and have made, or caused to be made under my supervision, a review in reasonable detail of the transactions and conditions of Borrower and Parent.  That review has not disclosed, and I have no other knowledge of the existence of, any Default or Event of Default, or, if any such Default or Event of Default existed or exists, a detailed explanation is attached setting forth the nature and the period of existence of such Default or Event of Default and the action Borrower has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect that Default or Event of Default.

 

3.                                      Pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Agreement, enclosed are the financial statements and related materials of Borrower or Parent, as applicable, as of the Statement Date.  The financial statements for the period ending on the Statement Date fairly present the financial condition and results of operations of Borrower or Parent, as applicable, as of the Statement Date.

Pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement by and between the Borrower and Lender (as same may be amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), Lender has agreed to provide certain funding for the Mortgage Loan to you as the Closing Agent.  Terms used in this letter and not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

To facilitate the closing of the Mortgage Loan (the “Closing”), you will confirm to Lender on the date of the Closing that you are in possession of the original mortgage note evidencing the Mortgage Loan.  As agent and bailee for Lender, you agree to hold the original mortgage note evidencing the Mortgage Loan as bailee for and on behalf of Lender, and to deliver the original mortgage note evidencing the Mortgage Loan and the original Assignment of Mortgage Note and Mortgage in blank to Lender by recognized overnight delivery promptly after Closing, and in any event within two (2) Business Days.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is made and entered into as of this 11th day of September, 2017, by WALKER & DUNLOP, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Guarantor”), with an address at 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Ste. 1200E, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, for the benefit of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Lender (the “Lender”) with an address at 300 Fifth Avenue, PT-PTWR-15-1 Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2707, in consideration of the extension of credit by Lender to WALKER & DUNLOP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor previously executed and delivered to Agent that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2013 (the “Original Guaranty”), whereby Guarantor guaranteed the Borrower’s payment and performance under that certain Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2013, among Borrower, Lender, Guarantor, and certain other parties, as the same has been amended from time to time (the “Original Agreement”).  The Borrower, Guarantor and Lender have contemporaneously herewith amended and restated the Original Agreement pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement, of even date, among Borrower, Guarantor and Lender (the Second Amended and Restated Warehouse Credit and Security Agreement, as the same may be amended, renewed, extended, restated or otherwise modified is herein the “Credit Agreement”).  In connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the Borrower’s payment and performance thereunder, and to amend and restate the terms of the Original Guaranty pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

1.                                      Guaranty of Obligations.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor, and becomes surety for, the prompt payment and performance of all loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to Lender arising under or relating to the Credit Agreement (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection of the Credit Agreement and otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, the “Obligations”).  If the Borrower defaults under any such Obligations, the Guarantor will pay the amount due to Lender.

 

2.                                      Nature of Guaranty; Waivers.  This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and Lender shall not be required or obligated, as a condition of the Guarantor’s liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to it with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

 

This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and Lender has terminated this Guaranty. This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if there is no principal balance outstanding under the Obligations at a particular time or from time to time.  This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by Lender of any other party, or any other guaranty or any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of Lender to take 

 

R-2

 

any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof.  The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have (directly or indirectly) against the Borrower or Lender, except payment or performance of the Obligations.

 

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, and any defense based upon Lender’s failure to comply with the notice requirements under Sections 9-611 and 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time are hereby waived.  The Guarantor waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

 

Lender at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as Lender may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person, including the Borrower or the Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein.

 

3.                                      Repayments or Recovery from Lender.  If any demand is made at any time upon Lender for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if Lender repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Guarantor will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by Lender.  The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantor in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to Lender’s rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

 

4.                                      Financial Statements.  Unless compliance is waived in writing by Lender or until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantor will promptly submit to Lender such information relating to the Guarantor’s affairs (including but not limited to annual financial statements and tax returns for the Guarantor) or any security for the Guaranty as Lender may reasonably request.

 

5.                                      Enforceability of Obligations.  No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantor’s liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted.  The Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

6.                                      Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall be an “Event of Default”: (i) any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) the Guarantor’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder; (iii) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Guarantor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by or on behalf of the Guarantor; or (iv) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (a) the Guarantor shall pay to Lender the amount of the Obligations; or (b) on demand of Lender, the Guarantor shall immediately deposit with Lender, in U.S. dollars, all amounts due or to become due under the Obligations, and Lender may at any time use such funds to repay the Obligations; or (c) Lender in its discretion may exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) Lender in its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

7.                                      Right of Setoff.  In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the Guarantor’s money, securities or other property given to Lender by law, Lender and each of Lender shall have, with respect to the Guarantor’s obligations to Lender and Lender under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against, and the Guarantor hereby grants Lender a security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to Lender, all of the Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to, all of the Guarantor’s deposits, moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise.  Every such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantor.  Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of Lender, although Lender may enter such setoff on their books and records at a later time.

 

8.                                      Intentionally Omitted.

 

9.                                      Costs.  To the extent that Lender incurs any costs or expenses in protecting or enforcing its rights under the Obligations or this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs and expenses of litigation, such costs and expenses will be due on demand, will be included in the Obligations and will bear interest from the incurring or payment thereof at the Default Rate (as defined in any of the Obligations).

 

10.                               Postponement of Subrogation.  Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, expire, are terminated and are not subject to any right of revocation or rescission, the Guarantor postpones and subordinates in favor of Lender or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee) any and all rights which the Guarantor may have to (a) assert any claim whatsoever against the Borrower based on subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement, or indemnity or any right of recourse to security for the Obligations with respect to payments made hereunder, and (b) any realization on any property of the Borrower, including participation in any marshalling of the Borrower’s assets.

 

11.                               Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt.  Notices may be given in any manner to which Lender and the Guarantor may separately agree, including electronic mail.  Without limiting the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.  Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to addresses for Lender and the Guarantor as set forth above or to such other address as either may give to the other for such purpose in accordance with this section.

12.                               Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission on Lender’s part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will Lender’s action or inaction impair any such right or power.  Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Lender may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.  Lender may proceed in any order against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor of, or any collateral securing, the Obligations.

 

13.                               Illegality.  If any provision contained in this Guaranty should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

 

14.                               Changes in Writing.  No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by the Guarantor from, any provision of this Guaranty will be effective unless made in a writing signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on the Guarantor will entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

 

15.                               Entire Agreement.  This Guaranty (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Guarantor and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Guaranty is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other guarantees from the Guarantor to Lender.

 

16.                               Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Guarantor and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty in whole or in part without Lender’s prior written consent and Lender at any time may assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.

 

17.                               Interpretation.

Section headings in this Guaranty are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other purpose.  If this Guaranty is executed by more than one party as Guarantor, the obligations of such persons or entities will be joint and several.

 

18.                               Indemnity.  The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each of Lender, Lender, each legal entity, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Lender and Lender and each of their respective directors, officers and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”), and to defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including all fees and charges of internal or external counsel with whom any Indemnified Party may consult and all expenses of litigation and preparation therefor) which any Indemnified Party may incur or which may be asserted against any Indemnified Party by any person, entity or governmental authority (including any person or entity claiming derivatively on behalf of the Guarantor), in connection with or arising out of or relating to the matters referred to in this Guaranty, whether (a) arising from or incurred in connection with any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the Guarantor, or (b) arising out of or resulting from any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation, pending or threatened, whether based on statute, regulation or order, or tort, or contract or otherwise, before any court or governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses solely attributable to an Indemnified Party’s

This Guaranty has been delivered to and accepted by Lender and will be deemed to be made in the State where Lender’s office indicated above is located.  THIS GUARANTY WILL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF LENDER AND THE GUARANTOR DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE LENDER’S OFFICE INDICATED ABOVE IS LOCATED, EXCLUDING ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the county or judicial district where Lender’s office indicated above is located; provided that nothing contained in this Guaranty will prevent Lender from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any rights against the Guarantor individually, against any security or against any property of the Guarantor within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction.  The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both Lender and the Guarantor.  The Guarantor waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Guaranty.
