Richard:
Please see below for my thoughts on the existing loan documents. There are a variety of language
changes I would like to make if given the chance, but below are the most important items. Please
let me know when you would like to discuss.
Best,
Brad
Major items we should change, that the Banks should be Ok with, and are not risky for us to bring
up
1. Bank should not permitted to assign or participate out the Loans, absent
Borrower's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). We would lose
our consent right upon a payment or bankruptcy event of default. There should be a
separate "blacklist" of 5 or so hedge funds (Apollo has a standing list) that should
EFTA_R1_00371930
EFTA01925919
never be able to acquire the Loans under any circumstances. Existing documents
don't have any constraint on Bank transferring Loans.
Major items we should consider changing, but are potentially risky to bring up with the Banks
given our potential non-compliance in the past
1. No ability to move the art outside the U.S. Must give 10 days advance notice prior
to any movement of art to a new location.
2. No ability to put the art in storage.
Major items we should consider changing, but that the Banks may object to
I. Death or legal incapacity of Leon Black is an event of default. Given that the loan is
collateralized, we should try to get this out. Wouldn't want to have to do a fire sale
of the collateral if the estate doesn't have sufficient liquidity to repay the loan
immediately.
2. Bank believing it has insufficient security backing the Loans is an event of default if
unremedied 10 days after notice by the Bank. Just a very open-ended, ambiguous
provision, especially since we have a specific LTV covenant.
3. Material adverse change in the financial condition of Leon Black or the Guarantor is
an event of default. Again, a very open-ended, ambiguous provision, especially
since we have a specific net worth covenant.
4. If our collateral value is insufficient (the amount of the Loans cannot exceed 50% of
the Collateral value), we need to pledge more collateral. Consider a higher
maximum LTV rate. Also, we can pledge non-art collateral to make up a shortfall —
EFTA_R1_00371931
EFTA01925920
consider specifying a specific "advance rate" for AGM stock or other collateral that
Leon Black might consider pledging to make up a shortfall.
Certain minor items we should change, that the Banks should be Ok with, and are not risky for
us to bring up
I. Late payment charge of 4% should be reduced to 2%.
2. If the Loans are over-collateralized, we cannot ask for a Collateral release other than
on a quarterly basis. Should be able to ask for a release at any time we are over-
collateralized.
Certain minor items we should consider changing, but are potentially risky to bring up with the
Banks given our potential non-compliance in the past
I. Insurance covenant is very open-ended and requires Bank to approve the specific
insurance. There should be a pre-agreed insurance package that is automatically
acceptable to Bank.
Items to confirm
I. Are we ok having the art appraised the art by Sotheby's or Christie's every year?
2. Are we ok with a $450 million net worth covenant?
