Re: Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement
among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc.,
Allied Capital Commercial Corporation and
Business Mortgage Investors, Inc.
-----------------------------------------------
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the letter agreement, dated March 11, 1995, as
supplemented and amended prior to the date hereof (the "Letter Agreement"),
among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc. ("MLMCI"), Allied Capital Commercial
Corporation ("ALCC") and Business Mortgage Investors, Inc. ("BMI") (ALCC and
BMI collectively, the "Obligors"). MLMCI and the Obligors have entered into
Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement to be dated as of March 22,
1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of November 11, 1996,
and Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of July 30, 1997 (collectively, the
"Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in the
Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement.
MLMCI hereby agrees that it will be obligated to enter into Transactions
with the Obligor under the Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement
having a maximum aggregate Repurchase Price of $100,000,000 (the "Committed
Amount") at any one time for an eighteen month period commencing on July 30,
1997 so long as the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Master
Repurchase Agreement and the related Custody Agreement are fully satisfied and
no Event of Default or event of termination thereunder has occurred and upon
(i) the payment by the Obligors to MLMCI of a fee (the "Commitment Fee") in the
amount of $250,000.00 and (ii) the acceptance of this offer by the Obligors in
the manner contemplated below. Any provision of this letter agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, no portion of the Committed Amount shall apply to
Category IV Loans and MLMCI is under no obligation to enter into Transactions
involving Category IV Loans.
7
The Commitment Fee shall be in addition to any prior fee paid by the
Obligors to MLMCI for committed financing and will not be refunded for any
reason including, without limitation, the Obligors' election not to engage in
any Transactions under the Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement.
Payment of the Commitment Fee will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the following account:
Bankers NYC
Acct.: MLMCI Matched Book
Acct. No.: 00812914
ABA No.: 021 001 033
The parties hereto hereby confirm that the Pricing Rate at which the Price
Differential will be calculated will be a per annum percentage (i) in the case
of Category I Loans, 112.5 basis points in excess of LIBOR (or such lesser
number of basis points as MLMCI may determine in its sole discretion) and (ii)
in the case of Category II Loans and Category III Loans, 125 basis points in
excess of LIBOR (or such lesser number of basis points as MLMCI may determine in
its sole discretion). As used herein, "LIBOR" shall mean the London Interbank
Offered Rate for one-month United States Dollar deposits as set forth on page
8695 of ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ as of 8:00 a.m., New York time, on the date of
determination. The Pricing Rate initially will be set on the Purchase Date for
each specific Transaction and will reset monthly on the last business day of
each calendar month. All calculations will be made on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed.
The parties hereto hereby confirm that for all Transactions involving
Mortgage Loans, the percentage used to calculate the Buyer's Margin Amount shall
reflect an advance rate of (i) ninety percent (90%) in the case of Category I
Loans or (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) in the case of Category II Loans and
Category III Loans.
The Obligors acknowledge that this confirmation letter, the Amended
and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, the Custody Agreement, and all
documents relating thereto and transactions contemplated thereby are
confidential in nature and the Obligors agree that, unless otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction, each shall limit the distribution of such
documents and the discussion of such transactions to such of its officers,
employees, attorneys, accountants and agents as is required in order to fulfill
its obligations under such documents and with respect to such transactions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Obligors may file such of the
aforementioned documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission as they
reasonably deem to be required by applicable law and may issue such press
releases concerning the matters contemplated hereby as MLMCI may approve in its
reasonable discretion; provided, however, that no such press release may refer
to the Pricing Rate, the Buyer's or Seller's Margin or the Commitment Fee. Any
2
8
press release so approved may be repeated by the Obligors to any person or
entity making inquiry with respect thereto.
Please confirm our mutual agreement as set forth herein and acknowledge
receipt of this confirmation letter by executing the enclosed copy of this
letter and returning it to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred
to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof)
against the transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer.
4. Margin Maintenance
(a)) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount for all such Transactions
(a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such
Transactions, at Seller's option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional
Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer ("Additional Purchased Securities"),
so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities,
including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or
exceed such aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any
Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer
is acting as Seller).
(b) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller's Margin Amount for all such Transactions at
such time (a "Margin Excess"), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer
in such Transactions, at Buyer's option, to transfer cash or Purchased
Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased
Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so
transferred, will thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller's Margin Amount
(increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any
Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer).
(c) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed
to such Transactions as shall be approved by Buyer and Seller.
34
(d) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all
Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both)
under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a
Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified
percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or
percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any
such Transactions).
(e) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all
Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer and Seller under
subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a
Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever
such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single
Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction
outstanding under this Agreement).
5. Income Payments
Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment
date on the Securities subject to that Transaction, Buyer shall, as the parties
may agree with respect to such Transaction (or, in the absence of any
agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date
such Income is payable either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of
Seller an amount equal to such Income payment or payments with respect to any
Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) apply the Income
payment or payments to reduce the amount to be transferred to Buyer by Seller
upon termination of the Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any
action pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent that such action would
result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or
simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased
Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit.
6. Security Interest
Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales
and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to
be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the
performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall
be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased
Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all proceeds thereof.
7. Payment and Transfer
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder
shall be in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one
party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or
shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may
reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a
Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method
mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer. As used herein with respect to
Securities, "transfer" is intended to have the same meaning as when used in
Section 8-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or, where applicable, in
any federal regulation governing transfers of the Securities.
8. Segregation of Purchased Securities
To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in
the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its
possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation
may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of
the holder, including a financial intermediary or a clearing corporation. Title
to all Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer and, unless otherwise agreed by
Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging
in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise pledging
or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall
relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller
pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer's obligation to credit or
pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to
Paragraph 5 hereof.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains
Custody of the Purchased Securities
Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those
subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer's securities
segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller
the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to
substitute, this means that Buyer's securities will likely be
commingled with Seller's own securities during the trading day. Buyer
is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer's securities are
commingled with Seller's securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject
to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]**
and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities
transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller's ability
to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to
Seller's ability to satisfy [the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain
substitute securities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. Section 403.4(e) if Seller is a
government securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution.
** Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. Section 403.5(d) if Seller is a
financial institution.
35
9. Substitution
(a) Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer,
substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution
shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to
Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted
Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.
(b) In Transactions in which the Seller retains custody of Purchased
Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for purposes
of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and accepted in this
Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased Securities;
provided, however, that such other Securities shall have a Market Value at least
equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are
substituted.
10. Representations
Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it
is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the
Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and
has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and
performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if
agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as
agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its
behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such
disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any
governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and
(v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law or
rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of
its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and
Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by
it.
11. Events of Default
In the event that (i) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer
Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (ii) Seller or Buyer
fails, after one business day's notice, to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iii)
Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (iv) an Act of Insolvency occurs
with respect to Seller or Buyer, (v) any representation made by Seller or Buyer
shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or
repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vi) Seller or Buyer shall
admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its
obligations hereunder (each an "Event of Default"):
(a) At the option of the nondefaulting party, exercised by written notice
to the defaulting party (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised,
even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of
Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed
immediately to occur.
(b) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller,
if the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party's
obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Securities in such
Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) to the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each
such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily
application of (x) the greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction or the
Prime Rate to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the
Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph
(decreased as of any day by (A) any amounts retained by the nondefaulting party
with respect to such Repurchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) of this
subparagraph, (B) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Securities pursuant to
subparagraph (d)(i) of this Paragraph, and (C) any amounts credited to the
account of the defaulting party pursuant to subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph)
on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period
from and including the date of the Event of Default giving rise to such option
to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased,
(iii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained
by the nondefaulting party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase
Prices owned by the defaulting party, and (iv) the defaulting party shall
immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any Purchased Securities
subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party's possession.
(c) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer,
upon tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase
Prices for all such Transactions, the defaulting party's right, title and
interest in all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be
deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party
shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.
(d) After one business day's notice to the defaulting party (which notice
need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and which may be
the notice given under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph or the notice
referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Paragraph), the
nondefaulting party may:
(i) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as
Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market at such price or
prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or
all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the
proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other
amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder
36
or (B) in its sole discretion, elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion
of such Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such
Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date,
obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid
quotation from such a source, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase
Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and
(ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as
Buyer, (A) purchase securities ("Replacement Securities") of the same class
and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the
defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in
its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to
be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on
such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent
closing bid quotation from such a source.
(e) As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer;
the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party (i) with respect
to Purchased Securities (other than Additional Purchased Securities), for any
excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for
Replacement Securities therefor over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
Securities and (ii) with respect to Additional Purchased Securities, for the
price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for the Replacement
Securities therefor. In addition, the defaulting party shall be liable to the
nondefaulting party for interest on such remaining liability with respect to
each such purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Securities from the date
of such purchase (or deemed purchase) until paid in full by Buyer. Such interest
shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction
or the Prime Rate.
(f) For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each
Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as
Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such
Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the
nondefaulting party of its option under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.
(g) The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for the
amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the nondefaulting
party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, together
with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for the
relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate.
(h) The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights
hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or
applicable law.
12. Single Agreement
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter
into such Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the
fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its
obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the
performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect
of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set
off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction
against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder
and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them
in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in
consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any
other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments,
deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.
13. Notices and Other Communications
Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective party to
whom any notice or other communication is to be given hereunder, all such
notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed in writing and
delivered at the respective addresses set forth in Annex II attached hereto.
14. Entire Agreement; Severability
This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties
containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each
provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent
from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable
notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
15. Non-Assignability; Termination
The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under
any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written
consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any
Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be
cancelled by either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that
this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any
Transactions then outstanding.
37
16. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the State of New York without giving
effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
17. No Waivers, Etc.
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall
constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy
hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any
other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be
effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both
of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure
to give a notice pursuant to subparagraphs 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not
constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.
18. Use of Employee Plan Assets
(a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are intended to be
used by either party hereto (the "Plan Party") in a Transaction, the Plan Party
shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall
represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not
constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt
therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not
be required so to proceed.
(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph any
such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to
Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition
and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.
(c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller
shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller's
latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in
Seller's financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii)
to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its
financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any
outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.
19. Intent
(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase
agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to
such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section
741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
(b) It is understood that either party's right to liquidate Securities
delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any
other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof, is a contractual right to
liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of
the United States Code, as amended.
20. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934
Act"), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the
position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of
1970 ("SIPA") do not protect the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder;
(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered
with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide
protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
and
(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to
a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as
applicable.

Re: Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Mortgage Capital Inc., Allied Capital Commercial Corporation and
Business Mortgage Investors, Inc.
And
Master Repurchase Agreement between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital
Inc. and Allied Capital Commercial Corporation
Dear ▇▇▇:
As we discussed, the boards of directors of each of the publicly traded Allied
Capital entities have agreed to merge together. Set forth in the following
paragraphs is a brief summary of the proposed consolidation (the "Merger") of
the Allied Capital entities.
The entities involved in the proposed Merger transaction include Allied Capital
Corporation ("Allied I"), and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Allied
Investment Corporation, Allied Capital Financial Corporation and Allied
Development Corporation; Allied Capital Corporation II ("Allied II"), and its
two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Allied Investment Corporation II and Allied
Financial Corporation II; Allied Capital Lending Corporation ("Allied
Lending"), and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Allied Capital SBLC
Corporation and Allied Capital Credit Corporation; Allied Capital Commercial
Corporation ("Allied Commercial"), and its three qualified REIT subsidiaries,
ALCC Acceptance Corporation, ALCC Holdings, Inc. and ALCC Equity, Inc.; and
Allied Capital Advisers, Inc. ("Advisers"), and its one wholly owned
subsidiary, Allied Capital Property Corporation.
If the Merger is consummated, each of Allied I, Allied II, Allied Commercial
and Advisers would merge with and into Allied Lending to form an internally
managed investment fund that would operate as a business development company.
It is intended that the Merger will be treated as a tax-free reorganization
under Section 368 (a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). Following the Merger, all of the officers and employees of
Advisers will become officers and employees, respectively, of Allied Lending.
39
[ALLIED CAPITAL LETTERHEAD]
November 6, 1997
Page 2
The Merger would be effected through a conversion of the respective shares of
Allied I, Allied II, Allied Commercial and Advisers into shares of Allied
Lending and would be structured as a "statutory merger" pursuant to Section
3-102 of the General Corporation law of the State of Maryland and the Merger is
contemplated to close on December 31, 1997 for a number of tax and financial
disclosure reasons. The name of the surviving corporation would be changed to
Allied Capital Corporation ("ACC"). Allied Investment Corporation and Allied
Capital Financial Corporation would be wholly-owned subsidiaries of ACC.
Pursuant to Item 11.(e) of ANNEX I - SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO MASTER
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MARCH 22,1996, BY AND BETWEEN ALLIED CAPITAL
COMMERCIAL CORPORATION AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC. and the
documents referred to above, the Obligor (Allied Capital Commerical
Corporation) and Co-Obligor (Business Mortgage Investors, Inc.) cannot merge or
consolidate into any entity unless the surviving or resulting entity shell be
acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc. Allied Capital Commerical
Corporation hereby requests that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc. consent to
Allied Capital Commercial Corporation merge into Allied Capital Lending
Corporation, and allow Allied Capital Lending Corporation to assume the
performance of all of the Obligor's duties and obligations. Business Mortgage
Investors, Inc. is not merging and will continue to be operated as a
stand-alone company.
The merged entity on a pro forma basis would have approximately $802 million in
total assets and approximately $422 million in shareholders' equity. The pro
forma debt to equity ratio equals 0.85:1; however, this ratio would equal
approximately 0.20:1 by the end of January 31, 1998 due to a planned
securitization of certain commercial mortgages.
I have enclosed a copy of the joint prospectus that has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for you review that describes the proposed
Merger transaction in detail. If you have any questions on the proposed merger
or our requests, please call me at (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.
Sincerely,
