Amortization
The New Credit Facility has no required amortization payments prior to the final maturity date.
Guarantees
The obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each direct and indirect domestic wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower that owns, directly or indirectly, unencumbered assets (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), subject to certain exceptions. There are currently no Subsidiary Guarantors. Should there be Subsidiary Guarantors, their guarantees will be automatically released upon the occurrence of certain events, including if the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a direct owner of an unencumbered asset.
The obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company, Invitation Homes OP GP LLC, and IH Merger Sub, LLC (the “Parent Guarantors,” and collectively with the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, the “Guarantors”). These guarantees will be automatically released upon the occurrence of certain events.
