The Company also agreed to forgo additional borrowings under the facility and to attempt to divest certain loan investments in future quarters to further de-lever the credit facility.

-- On April 7, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the restated master repurchase agreement and amended guaranty with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company ("Goldman"), pursuant to which all financial covenants in the repurchase agreement and the amended guaranty were eliminated and the cross default provisions with respect to the Company's other indebtedness were eliminated. In addition, certain other provisions of the repurchase agreement and the amended guaranty were amended or deleted, including the elimination of the existing recourse liability and a relaxation of certain affirmative and negative covenants. The Company made a cash payment to Goldman in the amount of $4.0 million to reduce the borrowings under the repurchase agreement.

The internalization was completed through the direct acquisition of its external manager, GKK Manager LLC, which was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG). The consideration paid to SL Green in the transaction was de minimis. The internalization transformed the Company into a self-managed integrated commercial real estate finance and property investment company.
