What is a Lender Participation Agreement?

A lender participation agreement is a contract between a lender and a party that purchases interest in an underlying loan which defines the role of each one. Under this type of agreement, the lender maintains control over the loan and remains responsible for communicating with the borrower. The party purchasing interest in the loan, on the other hand, are obligated to refrain from making claims against the lead lender and are only allowed to request reimbursement from the lead lender for their participation in the business partnership.

A few common sections of a lender participation agreement include definitions, payment protocols, loan servicing, extensions of credit, representations and warranties, and dispute resolution.

Bank and its affiliates may enter into loans with, accept deposits from, make loans or otherwise extend credit to, accept collateral and generally engage in any kind of loan financing, banking or trust or other business with any Borrower and its respective affiliates and receive payment on such loans or extensions of credit and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Participation Agreement and the Loans were not in effect.
 
Indemnification.    Participant agrees to indemnify Bank for and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including fees and disbursements of counsel and arbitration and arbitrator’s fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan and Loan Documents that are not reimbursed or otherwise paid to or recovered by the Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, that Participant shall not be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Bank’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Should Bank be sued or threatened by suit by any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or by any Borrower as a debtor-in-possession on account of any alleged preference, voidable transfer or fraudulent conveyance alleged to have been received as the result of any transaction in respect of which Participant has participated with Bank hereunder, or if any claim, suit or action shall be asserted against the Bank relating to such transactions, then in such event, any money paid by Bank in satisfaction or compromise of such suit, action or demand, any money required to be returned by Bank to such Borrower or its estate and any costs or fees associated therewith shall be reimbursed to Bank by Participant upon demand by Bank.
 
Bank agrees to indemnify Participant, on demand, for and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Participant in any way relating to or arising out of intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Bank.

5

These indemnities contained in this shall survive termination of this Agreement.
 
Extensions of Credit.    As long as any obligations of any Borrower to Bank remain outstanding under any Loan, Participant shall not make any loan, extension of credit or other accommodation to or for the benefit of such Borrower or purchase or extend credit upon any instrument in respect of which such Borrower may be liable in any capacity without Bank’s prior written consent.
 
Setoffs by Participant.    Participant agrees that if it should receive through the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise, any amount in respect of Loans, other than from the Bank, that Participant will remit all of the same to Bank to distribute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
Information. Bank agrees to make available to Participant upon request available credit information on each Borrower on a continuing basis, such credit information to include: (i) accrual status of the Loans, (ii) financial statements of the Borrowers in the possession of Bank, and (iii) all other credit information received by Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents.
 
Future Participations; No Interest in Other Financings.    Except as expressly provided for herein, Participant shall have no interest, by virtue of this Agreement and Participant’s rights hereunder, in (a) any present or future loans or other financing transactions by Bank to, on behalf of, or with any Borrower (collectively, the “other financing”) other than the Loans, (b) any present or future guaranties by or for the account of any Borrower which are not contemplated in the Loan Documents, (c) any present or future offset exercised by Bank in respect of such other financing, or (d) any present or future property taken as security for any such other financing.
 
No Third-Party Beneficiary.    None of the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any Borrower or any person other than Participant or Bank; consequently, the Borrowers and any person other than Participant or Bank shall not be entitled to rely upon or raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of Participant or Bank to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither Participant nor Bank shall incur any liability to any Borrower or any other person for any act or omission of the other.
 
Assignments.    Bank agrees that Participant may assign its Participation Interest in any Loan, or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of Bank to Wachovia Preferred Funding Corp. or other persons and in such event, Participant shall notify Bank of such assignment and identify the assignee. Such assignee shall fully assume all rights and obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, the obligation to advance funds and pay the servicing fee as required hereunder and Bank shall be fully authorized to deal with such assignee (with respect to the Loans so assigned) as if the assignee were the Participant. Participant, however, shall continue to be liable to Bank for all sums due Bank under this Agreement that such assignee of Participant fails to pay to Bank. Bank may assign its rights hereunder with the consent of Participant.
 
Entire Agreement; Captions.    This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the Loans and may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed jointly by an authorized officer of each party. The captioned headings of the sections herein are for reference only and are not a part of the terms hereof.
 
Other Provisions.    Nothing herein contained confers on either Party any interest in or subjects either Party to any liability on account of the assets or liabilities of the other, except for Participant’s Participation Interest.

6

 
This Agreement may be modified or amended only be a written instrument signed by the Parties. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of North Carolina and of the United States of America. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except as such assignments are prohibited herein.
 
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such enforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
 
Counterparts.    This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of that shall constitute a single agreement with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective from the day first written above.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers on the day first written above.
