The Repurchase Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from June 19, 2020 to June 19, 2021 and to provide for the conversion of the benchmark floating rate of interest for purchased assets from LIBOR to an alternate index rate following the occurrence of certain transition events.
In connection with the Amendment, Credit RE Operating Company, LLC (“Guarantor”) entered into a Reaffirmation of Guarantor (the “Reaffirmation Agreement”), which ratified and reaffirmed Guarantor’s obligations under that certain Guaranty, dated as of June 19, 2018, between Guarantor and Goldman Sachs (as amended, the “Guaranty”), under which the Guarantor agreed to guaranty Seller’s payment and performance obligations under the Repurchase Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the maximum liability under the Guaranty will not exceed 25% of the aggregate repurchase price of all purchased assets under the Repurchase Agreement.
