The foregoing description of the Amendment to Limited Partnership Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment to Limited Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously disclosed, on June 3, 2021, the Partnership, the operating partnership of the Company, entered into certain Contribution Agreements (each, a “Contribution Agreement” and collectively, the “Contribution Agreements”) with certain entities managed by KMS Management (each such entity, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) under which the Partnership would acquire 17 communities (19 real estate assets), subject to approximately $126.5 million in liabilities, for $197.3 million. The Sellers were paid in the form of POP Units. On September 1, 2021, the parties consummated the transactions set forth in the Contribution Agreements.
The Company does not have any material relationship with KMS Management or its subsidiaries, including the Sellers, outside of the ordinary course of business, other than in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreements.
The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreements, a form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 3, 2021, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Under the MCFA, Walker & Dunlop has agreed to provide loans to the SPE Borrowers in an aggregate amount of fixed advances of $198,850,000 for purposes of financing certain multifamily residential properties (the “Properties”) purchased pursuant to the Contribution Agreements. The Company anticipates that Walker & Dunlop will assign the MCFA to Fannie Mae. The Partnership is obligated on a non-recourse basis with respect to the obligations under the MCFA. The SPE Borrowers are obligated on a recourse basis with respect to the obligations under the MCFA, and the MCFA is secured by mortgages on the Properties granted by the SPE Borrowers. The notes issued pursuant to the MCFA are interest-only, have varying maturity dates of 84, 120 and 144 months, and a blended, weighted average interest rate of 2.76%. Certain customary prepayment premiums apply in the event of a prepayment of the loans.
