ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 15, 2020, CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), the majority owned subsidiary of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the “REIT”) (collectively, the Operating Partnership and the REIT are referred to as the “Company”), and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into the following agreements.

Forbearance Agreement with Respect to the 2026 Notes

The Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the REIT, as a limited guarantor, entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “2026 Notes Forbearance Agreement”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders or beneficial owners (the “Holders”) of in excess of 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.95% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). Pursuant to the 2026 Notes Forbearance Agreement, among other provisions, the Holders of the 2026 Notes have agreed to forbear from exercising any rights and remedies under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes solely with respect to the default resulting from the nonpayment of the $18.6 million interest payment that was due and payable on June 15, 2020 (the “2026 Notes Interest Payment”), including the failure to pay the 2026 Notes Interest Payment by the end of the 30-day grace period.

The forbearance period under the 2026 Notes Forbearance Agreement ends on the earlier of July 22, 2020 and the occurrence of any of the specified early termination events described therein.

Amendment to Forbearance Agreement with Respect to the 2023 Notes

As previously reported, on June 30, 2020, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the REIT, as a limited guarantor, entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement”) with certain Holders of in excess of 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Pursuant to the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement, among other provisions, the Holders of the 2023 Notes agreed to forbear from exercising any rights and remedies under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes solely with respect to the default resulting from the nonpayment of the $11.8 million interest payment that was due and payable on June 1, 2020 (the “2023 Notes Interest Payment”), including the failure to pay the 2023 Notes Interest Payment by the end of the 30-day grace period. Pursuant to the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement, the forbearance period under the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement ended on the earlier of July 15, 2020 and the occurrence of any of the specified early termination events described therein.

On July 15, 2020, the parties to the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement entered into an Amendment to the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement to extend the forbearance period to the earlier of July 22, 2020 and the occurrence of any of the specified early termination events described therein.

Amendment to Forbearance Agreement with Respect to the Credit Agreement

As previously reported, on June 30, 2020, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the REIT, as a limited guarantor, entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Bank Forbearance Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2019 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Bank Forbearance Agreement, among other provisions, the Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, agreed to forbear from exercising any rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement solely with respect to the Specified Defaults (as defined in the Bank Forbearance Agreement), including the cross-default resulting from the failure to pay the 2023 Notes Interest Payment or the 2026 Notes Interest Payment. The forbearance period under the Bank Forbearance Agreement ended on the earlier of July 15, 2020 and the occurrence of any of the specified early termination events described therein.

On July 15, 2020, the parties to the Bank Forbearance Agreement entered into an Amendment to the Bank Forbearance Agreement to extend the forbearance period to the earlier of July 22, 2020 and the occurrence of any of the specified early termination events described therein.

The foregoing description of the 2026 Notes Forbearance Agreement, the Amendment to the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement and the Amendment to the Bank Forbearance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously reported, the Company elected to not make the 2023 Notes Interest Payment and the 2026 Notes Interest Payment and, as provided for in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes and the 2026 Notes, to enter the respective 30-day grace periods to make such payments. The Operating Partnership did not make either of the 2023 Notes Interest Payment or the 2026 Notes Interest Payment on the last day of the respective 30-day grace periods. The Operating Partnership’s failure to make the 2023 Notes Interest Payment and the 2026 Notes Interest Payment is considered an “event


of default” with respect to each of the 2023 Notes and the 2026 Notes, which results in a cross default under the Credit Agreement.  While the events of default are continuing under the indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2023 Notes may declare the 2023 Notes to be due and payable immediately and the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2026 Notes may declare the 2026 Notes to be due and payable immediately. While the events of default are continuing under the Credit Agreement, the Agent may and shall upon the direction of the requisite lenders, declare the loans thereunder to be immediately due and payable.  Further, if any of the 2023 Notes, the 2026 Notes or the Credit Agreement were accelerated, it would trigger an “event of default” under the Operating Partnership’s 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024, which could lead to the acceleration of all amounts due under those notes.

The Company is continuing to engage in negotiations and discussions with the holders and lenders of the Company’s indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to negotiate acceptable terms or to reach any agreement with respect to its indebtedness.

The information disclosed in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such a filing.

WHEREAS, the Issuer failed to make the interest payment due on June 1, 2020 on the 2023 Notes (as required pursuant to the Indenture), and a default in the payment of interest on any series of Notes which continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the same has become due and payable, constitutes an Event of Default solely with respect to such series of Notes under the Indenture (such default, the “2023 Notes Interest Default”);

WHEREAS, the Issuer failed to make the interest payment due on June 15, 2020 on the 2026 Notes (as required pursuant to the Indenture), and a default in the payment of interest on any series of Notes which continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the same has become due and payable, constitutes an Event of Default solely with respect to such series of Notes under the Indenture (such default, the “2026 Notes Interest Default”);

WHEREAS, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding applicable series of Notes may, by delivering a written notice to the Issuer, the Limited Guarantor and the Trustee, declare the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of Notes immediately due and payable;

benefit of the Requisite Lenders (as defined in the Credit Facilities (as defined below)) party to the Credit Facilities, previously agreed to, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a forbearance agreement with the Note Parties, dated as of June 30, 2020, temporarily forbear from exercising any remedies available to them or the Lenders under the Credit Facilities (as defined below) with respect to any default or event of default resulting from the 2023 Notes Interest Default (the “June Credit Facilities Forbearance Agreement,” as it may be amended from time to time, the “Credit Facilities Forbearance Agreement”);

WHEREAS, terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1.Forbearance.

(a)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below and the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 below, respectively, as of the date hereof, each Holder hereby agrees that during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Forbearance Termination Date (the “Forbearance Period”), it will not enforce, or otherwise take any action to direct enforcement of, any of the rights and remedies available to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or the 2026 Notes or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action to accelerate, or join in any request for acceleration of, the 2026 Notes (“Remedial Action”) under the Indenture or the 2026 Notes, solely with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default (such forbearance, the “Forbearance”).  As used herein, “Forbearance Termination Date” means the earlier of (i) 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on July 22, 2020; (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Indenture other than the 2026 Notes Interest Default and the 2023 Notes Interest Default; (iii) the failure of any Note Party to comply with any term, condition, or covenant set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 4 hereof); (iv) the failure of any representation or warranty made by any Note Party under this Agreement to be true and complete in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to the extent that any representation and warranty already is qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of the date when made or any other breach in any material respect of any such representation or warranty; (v) the entry by the Issuer into any support agreement or definitive documentation with respect to, or announcement by the Issuer of its intent to pursue, any other restructuring, recapitalization, refinancing, repurchase or other material transaction in respect of any material indebtedness of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, whether through a court-supervised insolvency proceeding or otherwise, without the express written consent of each Holder; (vi) the granting of any additional lien on any property or assets of the Limited Guarantor, the Issuer or any of their respective subsidiaries to secure all or any portion of the Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2019 by and among the Issuer, the Limited Guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (the “Credit Facilities”); (vii) the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date (as defined in the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement) or (viii) the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Facilities Forbearance Agreement).

(b)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, as of the date hereof, each Holder hereby agrees that, during the Forbearance Period, it will not sell, pledge,

2

 


 

hypothecate or otherwise transfer any 2026 Notes, except to (i) a purchaser or other entity who agrees in writing with the transferor (with a copy to and for the benefit of the Note Parties) prior to such transfer to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as if a party hereto with respect to the relevant 2026 Notes being transferred to such purchaser; or (ii) a party who is already a signatory hereto, in each case without any further consideration of the Note Parties in respect thereof.

(c)This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Holder from acquiring additional 2026 Notes to the extent permitted by applicable law.  However, such Holder shall, automatically and without further action, remain subject to this Agreement with respect to any 2026 Notes so acquired.  The foregoing forbearances shall not be construed to impair the ability of the Holders or the Trustee to exercise any rights or remedies under the Indenture or take any Remedial Action (x) at any time after the Forbearance Period or (y) during the Forbearance Period, for defaults or Events of Default other than the 2026 Notes Interest Default, and, except as provided herein, nothing shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect the exercise of the Holders’ rights under this Agreement, the Indenture or the 2026 Notes.  

(d)With respect to the Forbearance, each Holder’s agreements, as provided herein, shall immediately and automatically terminate without requirement for any notice, demand or presentment of any kind on the Forbearance Termination Date, the Holders shall be immediately and automatically released from any and all obligations and agreements under this Agreement, and the Note Parties at that time shall be obligated to comply with and perform all terms, conditions and provisions of the Indenture and the 2026 Notes without giving effect to the Forbearance, and the Trustee and the Holders may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any and all of their rights and remedies, including, without limitation, their rights and remedies in connection with the 2026 Notes Interest Default and any other defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture or rights under this Agreement, to the extent continuing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Issuer makes the payment that is the subject of the 2026 Notes Interest Default prior to the Forbearance Termination Date, the Holders acknowledge that the 2026 Interest Default shall no longer be continuing (it being understood that such acknowledgement is being provided solely by the Holders and not on behalf of the Trustee or any other holders of the 2026 Notes).

(e) The Holders hereby request that the Trustee not take, and direct (solely to the extent permitted under the Indenture) the Trustee not to take, any Remedial Action with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default during the Forbearance Period. In the event that the Trustee takes any action to declare the 2026 Notes immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture during the Forbearance Period solely due to the 2026 Notes Interest Default, the Holders agree (solely to the extent permitted under the Indenture) to rescind and cancel such acceleration.

(f)Each of the Note Parties acknowledges and agrees that the running of any statutes of limitation or doctrine of laches applicable to any claims or causes of action that the Trustee or any Holder may be entitled to assert in order to enforce its rights and remedies against any of the Note Parties (or any of their respective assets) is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period.

(g)Each of the Note Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement relates solely to the Forbearance by the Holders in their capacity as Holders of the 2026 Notes and that execution of this Agreement by any Holder that also is a beneficial owner and/or investment advisor or manager of discretionary funds, accounts, or other entities for any holder or beneficial owner of the 2023 Notes shall not affect the rights and remedies of such Holders under the Indenture or the 2023 Notes with respect to the 2023 Notes Interest Default or otherwise.

(h)Each of the parties hereby agrees and acknowledges that in the event that the Issuer enters into, executes or amends any forbearance agreement or other consent agreement with any holder of

3

 


 

Notes (“Third-Party Holder”) with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default that includes the payment of forbearance fees or other consideration by the Issuer to the Third-Party Holder, then the terms of this Agreement (such agreement, the “Third-Party Agreement” and such payment terms thereunder, the “Favorable Terms”), then (a) the Issuer shall give each Holder a written notice (the “MFN Notice”) and a copy of the Third-Party Agreement and (b) unless otherwise agreed in writing (including by email) by Holder within one business day following the receipt of the MFN Notice, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically modified to incorporate any such Favorable Terms together with any additional obligations, consents, waivers or similar agreements of such Third-Party Holder contained in such Third-Party Agreement.

Section 2.Representations and Warranties.

By its execution of this Agreement, each Note Party hereby represents and warrants to the Holders that:

(a)Each Note Party has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Note Party enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

(b)Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Note Party of this Agreement, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of applicable law; (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject; or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent constitutional, organizational and/or formation documents), as applicable, of any Note Party;

(d)As of the date hereof, the current principal amount outstanding of the 2026 Notes is $625 million;

(a)Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Holders under the Indenture or the 2026 Notes, and shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture, the 2026 Notes or any other provision of the Indenture or the 2026 Notes, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.

(b)No Holder has waived (regardless of any delay in exercising such rights and remedies) any default or Event of Default that may be continuing on the date hereof or any default or Event of Default that may occur after the date hereof (whether the same or similar to the 2026 Notes Interest Default or otherwise), and no Holder has agreed to forbear with respect to any of its rights or remedies concerning any default or Event of Default (other than solely during the Forbearance Period, the 2026 Notes Interest Default solely to the extent expressly set forth herein) that may have occurred or be continuing as of the date hereof, or that may occur after the date hereof. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Holder reserves all of its rights, powers, and remedies under the Indenture, the Notes and applicable law. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not directly or indirectly constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering the Indenture, the Notes, or any other contract, agreement or instrument. The Holders’ agreement to forbear from exercising certain of their rights and remedies with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default during the Forbearance Period does not in any manner whatsoever limit any Holder’s right to insist upon strict compliance with the Indenture and the 2026 Notes.

Section 8.Release. In consideration of, among other things, each Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Note Party, on behalf of itself and its agents, representatives, officers, directors, advisors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasors”), hereby forever agrees and covenants not to sue or prosecute against any Releasee (as defined below) and hereby forever waives, releases and discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Releasee from any and all claims (including, without limitation, crossclaims, counterclaims, rights of setoff and recoupment), actions, causes of action, suits, debts, accounts, interests, liens, promises, warranties, damages and consequential damages, demands, agreements, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, controversies, variances, trespasses, judgments, executions, costs, expenses or claims whatsoever, that such Releasor now has or hereafter may have, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising at law or in equity, against any or all of the Holders (and, in addition to the Holders, where a Holder is an investment manager or advisor for the beneficial holders of the 2026 Notes, such beneficial holders) in any capacity and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, equityholders and “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and their respective successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, advisors and other representatives of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”), based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not now known, existing on or before the date hereof, that relate to, arise out

of or otherwise are in connection with: (i) any or all of the Indenture, the 2026 Notes or this Agreement or transactions contemplated thereby or any actions or omissions in connection therewith, or (ii) any aspect of the dealings or relationships between or among the Releasors, on the one hand, and any or all of the Releasees, on the other hand, relating to any or all of the documents, transactions, actions or omissions referenced in clause (i) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, (a) the Holders shall remain obligated under any confidentiality agreement entered into with the Issuer, as the same may be further amended from time to time (the “NDA”), and this Section 8 does not apply to the NDA and (b) this Section 8 shall not apply to any claims resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Releasees. In entering into this Agreement, each Note Party consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity thereof. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Indenture and the 2026 Notes and payment in full of the obligations thereunder.

Section 9.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 10.Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 11.Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Note Parties and the Holders, by acceptance of this Agreement, mutually hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive the right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based herein, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement and the Indenture or any other documents contemplated to be executed in connection herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealings, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party, including, without limitation, any course of conduct, course of dealings, statements or actions of any Holder relating to the administration of the 2026 Notes or enforcement of the Indenture arising out of tort, strict liability, contract or any other law, and agree that no party will seek to consolidate any such action with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.

Section 12.Headings.  The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 13.Acknowledgments.  Each Note Party hereby expressly acknowledges the terms of this Agreement and reaffirms, as of the date hereof after giving effect to this Agreement, the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture and the 2026 Notes, including, in each case, such covenants and agreements as in effect immediately after giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 14.Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Section 15.Entire Agreement; Modification of Agreement; Verbal Agreements Not Binding.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other discussions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto.  This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly authorized representatives of the Note Parties and by each Holder of 2026 Notes party hereto.  

Section 16.Non-Waiver of Default.  Neither this Agreement nor any forbearance hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of or consent to the 2026 Notes Interest Default or to any default or Event of Default or any other term or provision of the Indenture.  

Section 17.No Novation, etc.  This Agreement is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to create, a novation or accord and satisfaction, and the Notes and the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect.  

Section 18.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 19.Email Notice.  Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, any notice or other communication required by this Agreement, regardless of whether the applicable subsection of this Agreement contemplates email delivery of such notice or communication, may be done via email.

Section 20.Joinder of Additional Holders.  During the Forbearance Period other beneficial holders may become Holders by executing a joinder to this Agreement, the form of which shall be mutually agreeable to the Issuer and the Holders.  

Section 21.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable, in each case, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.  Upon any such determination of invalidity, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 22.Several Obligations. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Holders hereunder are several and not joint, and in no event shall any Holder have any liability or obligation with respect to the acts or omissions of any other Holder.

Section 6. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Severability.  If any provision of this Amendment is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of the Forbearance Agreement, as amended, will remain in full force and effect, and any provision of this Amendment held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable, in

3

Re:

Extension of the Forbearance Termination Date; Modification of Specific Defaults

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Credit Agreement, dated January 30, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among CBL & ASSOCIATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), CBL & ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders, and (ii) that certain Forbearance Agreement, dated June 30, 2020 (the “Existing Forbearance Agreement”), between Borrower and Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Credit Agreement or the Existing Forbearance Agreement, as applicable.  

Obligors have requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders modify the Forbearance Agreement, and Administrative Agent and Lenders are willing to do so, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement (the “Amendment” and the Existing Forbearance Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment, the “Forbearance Agreement”).

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Administrative Agent and Obligors hereby agree as follows:

1.In order to acknowledge the expiration of the cure period under the Indenture with respect to the June 15th Interest Payment, the following modifications are made to the Forbearance Agreement:

(a)Section 1(a)(i) and Section 1(a)(ii) of the Forbearance Agreement are hereby restated as follows:

 

“(i)Pursuant to those certain Reservation of Rights letters sent by Administrative Agent to Borrower on each of May 26, 2020,

 


CBL & Associates Limited Partnership

Page

 

 

June 2, 2020, and June 16, 2020, Administrative Agent and Lenders have stated that Borrower is in default under the Loan Documents due to certain Events of Default identified therein (collectively, the “Original Specified Defaults”).  Borrower has reserved and continues to reserve its right to dispute the Original Specified Defaults.  In addition, as a result of Borrower’s failure to make the interest payment due on June 1, 2020 (the “June 1st Interest Payment”) with respect to the Senior Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture (as required pursuant to the Indenture), the failure to make the interest payment due on June 15, 2020 (the “June 15th Interest Payment”) with respect to the Senior Notes, and as a default in the payment of interest on any series of Senior Notes after the same has become due and payable, constitutes a Default under the Indenture, a Default and, with respect to the June 1st Interest Payment and the June 15th Interest Payment, an Event of Default now exist pursuant to Section 11.1(d)(iv) of the Credit Agreement (the “Cross Defaults” and together with the Original Specified Defaults, collectively, the “Specified Defaults”).

 

(ii)Each of the Obligors acknowledge (A) receipt of notice of each of the Specified Defaults and that the Cross Defaults exist and are continuing and constitute a Default and, with respect to the June 1st Interest Payment and the June 15th Interest Payment, an Event of Default, (B) that while the Borrower disputes whether the Specified Defaults exist, none of the Specified Defaults have been waived or excused by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time or in any manner, and (C) that there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity that would defeat or diminish Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ present and unconditional right to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents, and to proceed to enforce the rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents”

(b)Section 3(c) of the Forbearance agreement is restated as follows:

 

“(c)the making by Parent, Borrower or any of their respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries of all or any portion of the interest payments due with respect to the Senior Notes due on June 1, 2020, June 15, 2020, July 15, 2020 or the making of any other payment (including, without limitation, by way of repurchase, exchange, discharge, defeasance or otherwise) by Parent, Borrower or any of their respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries with respect to the Senior Notes; or”

(c)The proviso in the penultimate sentence of the final paragraph of Section 3 of the Forbearance Agreement is restated as follows:

provided, however, to the extent that an Event of Default under the Indenture arising solely from the nonpayment of the June 1st Interest Payment and the June 15th Interest Payment is waived by the applicable Senior Noteholders, in

 


CBL & Associates Limited Partnership

accordance with the Indenture on or before the Forbearance Termination Date or the payment of the June 1st Interest Payment and the June 15th Interest Payment is made, and as a result of which the Senior Notes cannot be accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, then any Cross Default arising solely from the nonpayment of the June 1st Interest Payment and the June 15th Interest Payment shall also be waived under the Credit Agreement.”

2.The date and time set forth in Section 3(a) of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended to be “11:59 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on July 22, 2020”;

3.On or prior to the date of this Amendment and as a condition to its effectiveness, Obligors shall have paid to Jones Day all legal fees incurred-to-date and for which an invoice has been provided prior to the execution of this Amendment as provided for in that certain fee reimbursement letter dated May 19, 2020;

4.On or prior to the date of this Amendment and as a condition to its effectiveness, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed copy of forbearance agreement by and among Obligors and a majority of Senior Noteholders holding the 5.250% Senior Notes Due December 1, 2023 in the original principal amount of $450,000,000 and a majority of Senior Noteholders holding the 5.95% Senior Notes Due December 15, 2026 in the original principal amount of $625,000,000, which forbearance agreement (a) shall have a scheduled expiration date not earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on July 22, 2020, (b) shall not include or be contingent upon the delivery of any collateral or payments on, or otherwise in respect of, the Senior Notes, including, without limitation, any forbearance or other fee arising under such agreement, and (c) shall otherwise be in form and substance acceptable to Requisite Lenders;

5.On or prior to 5:00 p.m. eastern time on Friday, July 17, 2020, Obligors shall deliver a written proposal documenting the Obligors proposed key terms for a restructuring of the Credit Agreement Indebtedness and Bond Indebtedness, which proposal must detail, at a minimum, (a) the Obligors’ proposals regarding the granting of additional collateral (to be specified by property location) to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and any collateral (to be specified by property location) proposed to be granted to support Bond Indebtedness, (b) the proposed amount of Bond Indebtedness, the interest rate and other economic terms thereon, as well as the proposed percentage of equitization of Bond Indebtedness, (c) the proposed percentage of equity to be given to existing management or existing equity holders (including through any “MIP”), and (d) the amount of any cash payments proposing to be made to the Lenders or the Bond Indebtedness (the “Key Terms Termsheet”), and any failure to deliver such Key Terms Termheet when and as required hereunder shall constitute a Forbearance Default; and

6.Obligors will facilitate an all advisor call (and such calls shall occur) to discuss the Key Terms Termsheet on Saturday, July 18th amongst the Obligors’ counsel and advisors,  Administrative Agent’s counsel and advisors, and Bondholders’ counsel and advisors, and on daily basis thereafter to the extent requested by Administrative Agent, and any failure to do either of the foregoing shall constitute a Forbearance Default.

To facilitate execution, this Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign).  The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.  Each party hereto hereby waives any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of its signature, and hereby agrees that such electronically transmitted or signed signatures shall be conclusive proof, admissible in judicial proceedings, of such party’s execution of this Amendment. Even though the parties agree that electronic signatures are legally enforceable and intended to be effective for all purposes, the signing parties agree if requested by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to promptly deliver to Administrative Agent the requested original document bearing an original manual signature, to the extent required or advisable to be delivered in connection with any program made available to Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates by the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury Department or any other federal or state regulatory body.

As of the date of this Amendment, but without limiting the limited reservation of rights in Section 25(a) of the Forbearance Agreement, Obligors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each hereby releases, and forever discharges Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of its or their respective trustees, officers, directors, participants, beneficiaries, agents, attorneys, affiliates and employees, and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, defenses, set-offs against the Obligations, and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, contingent or matured, suspected or unsuspected, anticipated or unanticipated, liquidated or unliquidated, claimed or unclaimed, in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, or otherwise, including, without limitation, claims or defenses relating to allegations of fraud, duress, bad faith and usury, which relate, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to: (A) the Facility; (B) the Loan Documents; (C) the Obligations; (D) the Collateral; or (E) the Forbearance Agreement, including, without limitation, the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of the Loan Documents and this Agreement, any claims, causes of action or defenses based on the negligence of any of the Released Parties or on any “lender liability” theories of, among others, bad faith, unfair dealing, duress, coercion, control, misrepresentation, omissions, misconduct, overreaching, unconscionability, disparate bargaining position, reliance, equitable subordination, fraud, or otherwise, and any claim based upon fraud, duress, illegality or usury (collectively, the “Released Claims”), in each case other than in connection with the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Released Party.  No Obligor shall intentionally, willfully or knowingly commence, join in, prosecute, or participate in any suit or other proceeding in a position which is adverse to any of the Released Parties, arising directly or indirectly from any of the Released Claims.  The Released Claims include, but are not

 


Loan No. 12503DAN8

 

limited to, any and all unknown, unanticipated, unsuspected or misunderstood claims and defenses, all of which are released by the provisions hereof in favor of the Released Parties.

Obligors each acknowledges and agrees that it has no defenses, counterclaims, offsets, cross-complaints, causes of action, rights, claims or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any usury or lender liability claims or defenses, arising out of the Facility or the Loan Documents or the Forbearance Agreement, that can be asserted either to reduce or eliminate all or any part of any of Obligor’s liability to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents, or to seek affirmative relief or damages of any kind or nature from Administrative Agent or Lenders, for or in connection with the Facility or any of the Loan Documents.  Each of Obligors further acknowledges that, to the extent that any such claim does in fact exist, it is being fully, finally and irrevocably released by them as provided in this Amendment.

Each of Obligors hereby waives the provisions of any applicable laws restricting the release of claims which the releasing parties do not know or suspect to exist at the time of release, which, if known, would have materially affected the decision to agree to these releases.  Accordingly, each of Obligors hereby agrees, represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and each Lender that it understands and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and each of Obligors further agrees, represents and warrants that the releases provided herein have been negotiated and agreed upon, and in light of, that realization and that Obligors nevertheless hereby intend to release, discharge and acquit the parties set forth hereinabove from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are in any manner set forth in or related to the Released Claims and all dealings in connection therewith.  In making the releases set forth in this Amendment, each of Obligors acknowledges that it has not relied upon any representation of any kind made by any Released Party. It is understood and agreed by Released Parties that the acceptance of delivery of the releases set forth in this Amendment shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability by any of the Released Parties and Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Released Parties, hereby expressly denies liability of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the subject of such releases.

The substantive laws of the State of New York shall govern the construction of this Amendment and the rights and remedies of the parties hereto.

Section 13.5 and Section 13.13 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Amendment by this reference as if set forth in full herein.

Nothing in this letter shall alter of affect any provision, condition, or covenant contained in any of the Loan Documents or affect or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender, or shall modify or amend any provisions of the Forbearance Agreement, other than as expressly set forth above.  The provisions of the Loan Documents and the Forbearance Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
