     (1) In respect of any such Reassumed Asset that is a Loan (each, a “ Reassumed Loan ”), the Escrow Agent shall remit to Purchaser an amount equal to the sum of (x) (I) the aggregate Reassumed Loan Price in respect of each Reassumed Loan plus (II) an amount equal to any applicable Purchaser Funding outstanding as of the Reassumption Date and Additional Purchaser Deposit less (III) any applicable Valuation Adjustment Amount from the Purchase Price Escrow Account less (IV) any principal remitted by the Borrower in respect of any AIG Funding (it being understood that any payments of principal by a Borrower remitted with respect to any Loan that is an Escrowed Asset during the Escrowed Asset Transfer Period shall first be applied against the applicable Loan’s existing principal balance outstanding as of the Closing Date and next to any AIG Funding or Purchaser Funding) (such amount, the “ Reassumption Price ”) and (y) the aggregate amount collected in respect of all Reassumed Loans and deposited by the Escrow Agent in the Escrowed Assets Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Escrowed Assets Transfer Cut-Off Date (whether any portion of such aggregate amount constitutes principal of, interest on, or any other fee or other amount in respect of, such Reassumed Loan), including for purposes of this clause (y), all proceeds realized in respect of any Loan Collateral relating to such Reassumed Loan and any applicable Post-Closing Prepaid Interest Amount (to the extent actually received by the Escrow Agent prior to the related Escrowed Asset Transfer Cut-Off Date, together with any Escrow Earnings accrued on such amounts.

In the event and to the extent that the aggregate Reassumption Price is a negative amount or there are insufficient funds held in the Purchase Price Escrow Account as of the Reassumption Transfer Date to remit to the applicable Seller an amount equal to the Escrow Earnings accrued on the Purchase Price in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then the Purchaser shall remit an amount equal to the sum of (x) the absolute value of the amount by which the Reassumption Price is less than zero dollars ($0) and (y) any amount by which funds held in the Purchase Price Escrow Account are insufficient to remit to the applicable Seller the Escrow Earnings accrued on the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by AIG in writing to the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the Reassumption Transfer Date.

The Reassumption Price Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the disagreement described therein.

The Initial Purchase Price equals, in the aggregate, the Initial Loan Value of each Loan contained in the Purchased Assets multiplied by the Purchase Price Percentage in respect of such Loan. Schedule 1.4 hereto (the “ Initial Loan Value Schedule ”) sets forth the calculation of the Initial Loan Value in respect of each Loan. At the Closing, Purchaser shall (i) pay the Initial Purchase Price in respect of the Closing Date Purchased Assets with respect to which there are no Escrowed Assets related thereto (such amount, the “ Estimated Closing Date Purchased Assets Purchase Price ”) to Sellers, (ii) deposit on behalf of Sellers an amount equal to the Initial Purchase Price in respect of the Escrowed Assets and the Closing Date Purchased Assets related thereto (such amount, the “ Estimated Escrowed Assets Purchase Price ” and, together with the Estimated Closing Date Purchased Assets Purchase Price, collectively, the “ Estimated Purchase Price ”) in the Purchase Price Escrow Account to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and (iii) assume the Assumed Liabilities from Sellers.

AIG shall and shall cause Sellers to cooperate with Purchaser to permit Purchaser to prepare the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule. Such cooperation shall include providing Purchaser and its agents and representatives with reasonable access to all books and records in Sellers’ (or any of their respective Affiliates’) possession relating to the Purchased Assets, and with reasonable access to the personnel of Sellers and their respective Affiliates.

The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the disagreement described therein. If no Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser within

15


 

such fifteen (15) day period, then the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule shall be deemed to have been accepted by AIG and shall become final and binding on the parties hereto. During the fifteen (15) day period immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement in accordance with the first two sentences of this Section 1.5(b) , AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, are able to resolve all of such differences within fifteen (15) days following such delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, then the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, shall become final and binding on the parties hereto. If AIG, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, are unable to resolve all of such differences within fifteen (15) days following such delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, then AIG and Purchaser shall submit the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule to KPMG LLP (the “ Independent Accountant ”) for review and resolution of any and all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement, and the opinion of the Independent Accountant as to the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. In the event that KPMG LLP refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent Accountant, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States mutually agreeable to the parties, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall mean such firm. If the parties are unable to agree on selecting such firm, then the parties promptly shall jointly request the American Arbitration Association to appoint, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such request, an internationally recognized firm of public accountants independent of both AIG and Purchaser to serve as the Independent Accountant.

     (c) The Purchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets in the aggregate shall be reduced (the “ Purchase Price Reduction ”) by the amount, if any, that the sum of the aggregate Closing Date Loan Value of each Loan (as set forth on the final Closing Date Loan Value Schedule prepared pursuant to Sections 1.5(a) and (b) ), in each case, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Price Percentage in respect of each such Loan (such amount, the “ Final Closing Date Purchase Price ”) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price. The Purchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets in the aggregate shall be increased (the “ Purchase Price Increase ”) by the

16


 

amount, if any, that the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price. In the event and to the extent that:

     (i) any Purchase Price Reduction is payable by Sellers to Purchaser in respect of any Closing Date Purchased Assets with respect to which there are no Escrowed Assets related thereto or any Released Escrow Assets for which all applicable Required Consents have been obtained on or prior to the date upon which the Closing Date Loan Value Schedule has become final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with Section 1.5(b) hereof, AIG shall cause Sellers to pay such applicable portion of the Purchase Price Reduction in respect of such Closing Date Purchased Assets and Released Escrowed Assets to Purchaser;
