(a) Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the Project, subject only to the Senior Deed of Trust and the Permitted Exceptions.

 

(b) Except as described on Exhibit D hereto, no litigation or proceeding is pending, or to the best of Borrower’s actual knowledge threatened in writing, against Borrower or  Guarantor, that could, if adversely determined, be reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower, Guarantor or the Project.

Price List Schedule.

 

Borrower has submitted to Lender the written Price List Schedule (the “Price List Schedule”) stating, at a minimum, a detailed breakdown of each condominium Residential Unit’s size, type, location and gross sales price (“List Price”) for each Residential Unit (including, but not limited to, a weighted average gross sales price (excluding Parking Spaces and Upgrades) of not less than $620 per Saleable Square Foot for each Residential Unit), which Lender has approved.  The approved Price List Schedule is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit M-2.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, no changes to the approved Price List Schedule shall be permitted without Lender’s prior written approval, in Lender’s reasonable discretion.  The List Prices for each Residential Unit include the price of one (1) Parking Space per bedroom in such Residential Unit, up to two (2) Parking Spaces per Residential Unit, except for the penthouse Residential Units on floors 35, 36 and 37, which are each allocated three (3) Parking Spaces but does not include storage space.  Of the 300 Parking Spaces allocated to the Residential Units collectively, 275 Parking Spaces shall be included in the List Prices of such Residential Units as set forth above, and 25 Parking Spaces (the “Excess Parking Spaces”) shall not be included in the List Price of any Residential Unit and shall be available for sale at an additional charge.

 

	
14.2  

	
Sales Agreements.

 

Each Residential Unit shall be sold under a written agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) in the form of the sales agreements attached hereto as Exhibit O, or on a form otherwise approved 

 

  

34

  

 

by Senior Lender, in all material respects conforming to all Laws, including those requiring disclosures to prospective and actual buyers.  Lender has previously approved the form of the Sales Agreement to be used for such Residential Unit sales, which form of sales contract is attached hereto as Exhibit O and has approved the Sales Agreement for each of the pending sales listed on Exhibit M-1.  No Residential Unit may be leased, sold or conveyed under any lease, conditional sales contract or other arrangement where Borrower retains a deferred portion of the purchase price or any residual or contingent interest in the Residential Unit, including any purchase money security interest, without the express prior written consent of Senior Lender in each instance.  All agreements (each, also a “Sales Agreement”) with respect to the sale of any portion of the Project other than the Residential Units shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that (i) no portion of the Project other than Residential Units that are sold as permitted by this Agreement, may be sold without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld by Lender, in its sole discretion and (ii) Borrower may not enter into any Sales Agreement for any part of the Project, other than Sales Agreements for Residential Units which satisfy the requirements set forth in this Agreement, without the Senior Lender’s prior written consent, evidence of which approval shall be promptly provided to Lender. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of each executed Sales Agreement within thirty-one (31) days of its execution.  Borrower shall promptly enforce the obligations of the purchasers under each Sales Agreement upon default by any such purchaser, except as Senior Lender may otherwise agree in writing in its reasonable discretion (copies of which will be promptly provided to Lender).

 

	
14.3  

	
Purchaser Deposits.

 

(a) On or before Closing (as to earnest money deposits received prior to Closing), and promptly after receiving any additional earnest money deposits made by the Residential Unit Purchasers from time to time (as to earnest money deposits received following Closing), Borrower shall deposit with Armbrust & Brown, L.L.P. and Heritage Title Company of Austin, Inc., jointly and severally, as escrow agent (or any successor agent approved by Senior Lender) (together, jointly and severally, the “Escrow Agent”), in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and shall cause Escrow Agent to maintain in one or more accounts titled in the name and subject to the control of Escrow Agent all earnest money deposits paid by Residential Unit Purchasers under the Sales Agreements (the “Earnest Money Deposits”).

 

(b) Except as reflected on Exhibit M, Borrower shall require all Residential Unit Purchasers to make cash Earnest Money Deposits of at least ten percent (10%) of the gross sales price at the time of Sales Agreement execution.  If Earnest Money Deposits are held by an Escrow Agent, Borrower shall cause Escrow Agent to deliver to Lender within seven (7) days of the end of each calendar month a statement indicating the amount of funds on deposit representing Earnest Money Deposits, together with information on the date of deposit, and to which Residential Unit all such deposits apply.  Borrower shall not accept any non-cash Earnest Money Deposits or non-cash Upgrade Deposits.  Borrower shall not be permitted to use or apply the Earnest Money Deposits prior to the closing of the sale of a Residential Unit, whereupon the related Earnest Money Deposit shall be considered part of the Net Sales Proceeds and applied as set forth in Section 14.9.

 

  

35

  

 

(c) If a Residential Unit Purchaser desires to alter the Approved Finish Standards, which results in additional costs to Borrower to complete a Residential Unit (an “Upgrade”), Borrower shall require such Residential Unit Purchaser to deposit funds with Senior Lender in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement prior to the commencement of any work relating to such Upgrade (the “Upgrade Deposit”).

 

(d) The Deposits shall be segregated from other funds and shall be held, applied or returned, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the respective Sales Agreement and applicable Laws.  To the extent Borrower becomes entitled to retain any Deposits that have not been previously applied in accordance herewith (i.e. upon the forfeiture of any deposit by a Residential Unit Purchaser), such amounts shall be paid to Senior Lender and applied to the Senior Loan in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement.  To the extent that a Residential Unit Purchaser becomes entitled to return of its Deposits under its Sales Agreement or under applicable Laws, so long as the Upgrade Deposit has not already been spent by Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw from the escrow account such Deposit for return to the Residential Unit Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement, with a copy of such notice to be simultaneously sent to Lender if Deposits are held by an Escrow Agent; however, the return of such Deposit shall not affect any obligations of Borrower to Lender or any rights or remedies of Lender.

 

(e) Subject to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Deposits and all accounts holding any such Deposits from time to time.  Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall promptly provide to Lender such documentation as Lender determines is necessary to confirm and perfect such security interest.  Such security interest is subject to the rights of Residential Unit Purchasers in and to such Deposits in accordance with the terms of their respective Sales Agreements and applicable Laws.

 

	
14.4  

	
Residential Unit Sales.

Borrower shall not terminate a Qualifying Sales Agreement for any reason other than the default of the Residential Unit Purchaser thereunder without Senior Lender’s prior written consent (a copy of which shall be promptly provided to Lender).

(a) Borrower shall at all times maintain adequate marketing capability, and shall timely perform all obligations required to be performed by it under each Sales Agreement.

 

(b) Borrower may not amend or modify any Sales Agreement except in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement.  In such case, Borrower will provide to Lender a copy of the amendment promptly following its execution.

 

(c) Borrower may not terminate a Sales Agreement without Senior Lender’s prior written consent (a copy of which shall be promptly provided to Lender) except as a result of the default of the Residential Unit Purchaser under such Sales Agreement and provided the Deposits paid under such Sales Agreement are released to Borrower, as the seller, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents in regard to such Deposits.

 

	
14.6  

	
Delivery of Sales Information and Documents.

 

Within thirty (30) days after the end of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a sales report (the “Sales Report”) showing (a) each Residential Unit under a Sales Agreement, including the date of the Sales Agreement, the Residential Unit number, the base contract price plus the charge for Upgrades, the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit and, if applicable, the Upgrade Deposit, and the date expected to close; and (b) for each Residential Unit closed, the Residential Unit number, the base contract price plus the charge for Upgrades, the date closed, and the Net Sales Proceeds from the sale of such Residential Unit; and (c) for each Sales Agreement cancelled by a Residential Unit Purchaser, the Residential Unit number, the date cancelled, the reason the Sales Agreement was cancelled by the Residential Unit Purchaser and a statement regarding whether the Deposit was returned to the Residential Unit Purchaser or retained by Borrower (and remitted to Senior Lender).  Borrower shall also promptly deliver to Lender such other sales information and documents that Lender from time to time may reasonably request, including operating statements, all new Sales Agreements, and notice of or information regarding any claimed breach or disavowal of buyer’s or seller’s obligations under any one or more Sales Agreements.

(v) Lender receives from Borrower a written notice of the sale in question (each a “Sales Notice”) which will include a copy of the closing statement and applicable Residential Unit release no later than 5:00 p.m. (Dallas time) on the day of such Residential Unit sale; and

 

(vi) All escrow, closing and recording costs have been paid at no expense to Lender.

(b) The execution of a Sales Agreement shall not by itself satisfy the conditions for release of the Residential Unit that is being sold; those conditions must be satisfied in full at the time the Residential Unit is to be released.

 

(c) If Lender does not require satisfaction of all of the conditions described above before releasing one or more Residential Units, that alone shall not be a waiver of such conditions, and Lender reserves the right to require their satisfaction in full before releasing any further Residential Units from the Deed of Trust, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(d) The “Release Price” for a Residential Unit (including one (1) Parking Space per bedroom in such Residential Unit, up to two (2) Parking Spaces per Residential Unit, except for the penthouse Residential Units, which are each allocated three (3) Parking Spaces ) shall be 100% of Net Sales Proceeds from the sale of the applicable Residential Unit and associated Parking Spaces (including any additional charge or fee in excess of the purchase price payable to Borrower or its Affiliates).

 

(e) Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the sale of the Residential Unit, including title expenses, reasonable legal fees, brokerage and sales commissions and other closing costs, from the portion of the sales price in excess of such Release Price and, if such excess is insufficient for such purpose, shall pay such excess costs from its own funds.

 

(f) If the Senior Loan has been paid in full, and if requested by Lender, Borrower shall also deposit with Lender (to the extent not required to be deposited in condominium association bank accounts) all amounts deducted or set aside for real estate taxes or retained for assessments or working capital (and pledges its interest in such account(s) to Lender).  Lender shall hold such amount subject to the rights of Residential Unit Purchasers and the condominium association therein, provided, however, Lender shall permit Borrower to use the funds deposited in such accounts for their legally required purposes.

Application of Sales Proceeds.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Release Price, or portion thereof, released by Senior Lender to Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement prior to the first anniversary date of the Note will be offered to Lender as a prepayment of the Loan.  Lender, in its sole discretion, will determine whether to accept and apply such released proceeds to the Loan or to reject such offered proceeds.  Lender will make such determination within five (5) days of offer.  Section 4.5 of this Loan Agreement addresses Net Sales proceeds released by Senior Lender on and after the first anniversary date of the Note.

 

With respect to any Release Price received by Lender in accordance with the preceding paragraph, (i) Lender may elect in its sole discretion to apply Release Price proceeds (to the extent payable to Lender) first to payment of accrued interest (but shall never be obligated to do so, even if doing so would cure a default in the payment of interest) and (ii) if an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply all amounts received to the indebtedness under the Loan Documents in such order as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

OTHER COVENANTS

 

	
15.1  

	
Borrower further covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a) Full Opening of Senior Loan on or Prior to Full Loan Opening Date.  Borrower shall cause all conditions precedent to the Full Opening of the Senior Loan (as provided in the Senior Loan Agreement) to be complied with, and Borrower shall qualify for Full Loan Opening (as provided in Senior Loan Agreement), no later than July 31, 2010.  If Borrower fails to satisfy timely such requirement, and Senior Lender terminates its commitment to fund the Senior Loan, an Event of Default shall exist under this Agreement.

 

(b) Compliance with Condominium Documents.  Once the Declaration of Master Condominium and/or Residential Condominium Declaration are recorded, and subject to the provisions of Section 82.112(b) of the TUCA, Borrower shall pay all general and special assessments for common charges and expenses and insurance premiums made against or relating to the Residential Units owned by Borrower or otherwise payable by Borrower under the Condominium Documents as the same shall become due and payable and prior to delinquency, and not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of each month provide to Lender evidence of such payments, and in the event Borrower shall fail to make such payments as the same become due and payable and prior to delinquency, Lender may from time to time at its option, but without any obligation to do so and without notice or demand upon Borrower, make such payments, and all expenses paid by Lender for such purpose, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and shall be payable on demand and bear interest at the Interest Rate until repaid.  Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any Borrower appointed directors to), without the prior written consent of Lender which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion), give any consent or perform any action in furtherance of any material modification or amendment of the Condominium Documents, including any modifications or amendments to the Condominium Documents which would permit a Residential Unit Purchaser to rescind its Sales Agreement under applicable Laws.  Borrower shall comply with all of the material terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be performed under the Condominium Documents, as the same shall be in force and effect from time to time; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to cure such non-compliance within any applicable cure periods provided in the Condominium Documents, Lender may from time to time at its option, but without any obligation to do so, cure or remedy any such default by Borrower (Borrower hereby authorizing Lender, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to enter upon the Project as may be necessary for such purposes), and all reasonable expenses paid by Lender for such purpose, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall be payable on demand and bear interest at the Interest Rate until repaid.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each and every notice of default, if any, received by Borrower with respect to Borrower under any of the Condominium Documents or applicable law regarding the condominium regimes created thereby.  Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any Borrower appointed director to), without the prior written consent of Lender (but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), exercise any right it may have to vote for (x) the expenditure of 

 

  

44

  

 

insurance proceeds (which are governed by Article 16 below) or condemnation awards for the repair or restoration of the Project or (y) any additions or improvements to the common elements of the Project.

 

(c) Construction of Improvements.  The Improvements shall be constructed and fully equipped in a good and workmanlike manner with materials of high quality, substantially in accordance with the Approved Plans and Specifications (or in accordance with any changes therein that may be approved in writing by Senior Lender).  Such construction and equipping shall be commenced and completed, as applicable, and shall be prosecuted with due diligence and continuity in substantial accordance with the Construction Schedule, the requirements of all Sales Agreements and the Operating Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower has commenced construction of the Project, and shall substantially complete (i) the entire Project no later than the Completion Date applicable to the entire Project, and (ii) each particular portion of the Project no later than the Completion Date applicable to such portion, as such Completion Date may be extended in accordance with the Senior Loan Agreement.

 

(d) Payment for Work.  Borrower agrees to fully pay and discharge when due and payable all claims for labor done and material and services furnished in connection with the construction of the Project and to take all other steps to forestall the assertion of claims against the Project or the Loan.

 

(e) Inspection by Lender.  Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in arranging for inspections by representatives of Lender of the progress of the Construction from time to time including an examination of (i) the Improvements, (ii) all materials to be used in the Construction, (iii) all plans and shop drawings that are or may be kept at the construction site, (iv) any contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipts or vouchers in connection with the Improvements, (v) all work done, labor performed, and materials furnished in and about the Improvements, (vi) all books, contracts and records with respect to the Improvements, and (vii) any other documents relating to the Improvements or the Construction.

 

(f) Materialmen’s Liens and Contest Thereof.  Borrower shall not suffer or permit any materialmen’s lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Project or any funds due to the General Contractor, and shall promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith by appropriate legal proceeding and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim, provided that Borrower posts a statutory lien bond over such lien.

 

(g) Settlement of Materialmen’s Lien Claims.  If Borrower shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) to post a statutory lien bond over such lien, in each case, within thirty (30) days after the filing of the lien, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any 

 

  

45

  

 

surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder.  In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

 

(h) Proceedings.  In addition to (and not in lieu of Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 15.1(f)), if any action, claim or proceeding affecting title to the Land, the construction of the Project, Borrower,  Guarantor, the rights of Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise affecting the Project, be filed or commenced, then at the request of Lender, Borrower shall appear in and defend, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any such action or proceeding and, if applicable, Borrower shall insure or bond over such action, claim or proceeding in accordance with Section 15.1(f).  If Borrower fails to appear and defend any such action or proceeding, then Lender may commence, intervene in, and defend actions or proceedings affecting the Project or the transactions contemplated herein, and compromise or settle any claim or controversy pertaining thereto, employing legal counsel acceptable to Lender to defend such claims at Borrower’s sole cost, unless due to the willful misconduct of Lender.  Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any action, error, mistake, omission or delay pertaining to the actions described in this Section or any damages resulting therefrom, unless due to the willful misconduct of Lender.  Any cost incurred by Lender under this Section shall be deemed to be expenses of the Loan payable by Borrower pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement.

 

(i) Insurance.  Borrower shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit E, or such other insurance requirements as may be reasonably required by Lender, at all times (provided Lender will not require any insurance coverages that are not required by Senior Lender as long as the Senior Loan remains outstanding).  Borrower shall provide Lender, prior to the date hereof, a certificate(s) demonstrating appropriate insurance coverage(s), which shall demonstrate insurance coverage that meets or exceeds the requirements on Exhibit E.  Borrower shall timely pay all premiums on all insurance policies required hereunder, and as and when additional insurance is required, from time to time, during the progress of Construction, and as and when any policies of insurance may expire, furnish to Lender, premiums prepaid, additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lender in accordance with Exhibit E.

 

(j) Payment of Taxes.  Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become delinquent.  Borrower may use Loan proceeds for such purpose to the extent available in the Budget for such purpose upon meeting all conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to any such disbursement.  Borrower shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified Lender of Borrower’s intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Senior Lender or Lender, in its reasonable discretion, and has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Senior Lender’s or Lender’s request therefor.  If Borrower fails to commence such contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in

 

  

46

  

 

good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note).  Borrower shall furnish to Lender evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.

 

(k) Tax Escrow Accounts.  After an Event of Default and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if Lender elects to require that Borrower escrow money for payment of taxes (a “Triggering Event”), Borrower shall make monthly tax escrow deposits in the amount of one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real estate taxes as reasonably estimated by Lender, such deposit to be held in an interest bearing escrow account held by Senior Lender in Senior Lender’s name and under its sole dominion and control, unless at such time the Senior Loan has been paid in full, in which case the deposits will be held by Lender.  (If an Event of Default occurs and Lender requires real estate tax escrow deposits to be made, but such Event of Default is thereafter cured, then, so long as no other Triggering Event exists, Lender shall not require further real estate tax deposits to be made.)  If at any time Lender determines in its sole discretion that the amount of the monthly escrow payments made pursuant to this Section 15.1(k) are not sufficient to pay in full the next installment of real estate taxes then due, then upon written notice from Lender of the amount of any expected deficiency (and regardless of whether a Triggering Event then exists), Borrower shall then deposit funds equal to such amount with Lender.  All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan.  Notwithstanding Lender’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Lender to pay any real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Project at any time an Event of Default exists.

 

(l) Personal Property.  All of Borrower’s personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the Construction or the operation of the Project shall always be located at the Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests, other than as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall not acquire by lease any of the personal property, fixtures, attachments or equipment which is to be used in connection with the Project without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld with regard to leases of non-essential, movable equipment utilized in the operation of the Project, but may otherwise be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.  Borrower has notified Lender that Borrower does not currently intend to lease any such personal property and that the Budget includes funds necessary to purchase all such personal property.

 

(m) Leasing Restrictions.

 

(i) Borrower shall not enter into any Leases pertaining to the Project without Lender’s prior written consent in its sole discretion; provided, however, Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such Lease if Senior Lender consents to the Lease.  

 

  

47

  

 

Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of any proposed Lease no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed execution date of such Lease.  Lender’s approval of any Lease for the Commercial Space shall be predicated upon, among other things: (a) current tenant financial information in sufficient detail to assess the experience and credit worthiness of the proposed tenant, (b) credit worthiness of the proposed tenant, (c) form and content of the Lease, including, among other things, the proposed tenant’s obligation to provide, at least annually, its financial information to Borrower, (d) the proposed tenant’s agreement to enter into an acceptable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, and (e) a minimum (7) seven year term, without any right to cancel prior to five (5) years; provided, however, Lender shall approve a five (5) year Lease term, but the tenant improvement funding permitted for such Lease shall be reduced proportionately.  Except as otherwise consented to by Lender, each Lease must provide for a minimum annual triple net rent per Rentable Square Foot as specified in Exhibit Q at all times throughout the term of the related Lease, and, for purposes of calculating such rent, the total value of free rent, non-standard lease concessions and tenant improvements in excess of the budgeted amount will be amortized at a per annum rate of ten percent (10%) over the full term of the Lease, including any free rent period. The resulting amount will be deducted from the lowest stated rent at any point in the term of the Lease, and that figure must be equal to or greater than the applicable minimum rent as specified in Exhibit Q.  Furthermore, Borrower will in no event offer more than six (6) months of free rent, tenant improvements in excess of twenty percent (20%) more than the budgeted amount, or other non-standard concessions unacceptable to the Lender.  Each Lease must otherwise satisfy the applicable requirements set forth on Exhibit Q (including, without limitation, the amount of leasing commissions that may be paid to Borrower’s representative and the Tenant’s representative), unless Lender otherwise consents in writing, which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

 

(ii) Borrower shall not execute any Lease without written acknowledgement of Lease approval by the Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, except that Leases of Office Space proposed to be entered into with third party tenants who are not Affiliates of Borrower or Guarantor covering not more than 1,500 Rentable Square Feet individually, and 8,000 Rentable Square Feet in the aggregate, and otherwise satisfying the leasing requirements set forth above may be entered into without Lender’s consent.  Lender shall endeavor to provide (i) preliminary approval or disapproval of any proposed Lease within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of all pertinent information needed for approval, and (ii) final approval or disapproval of any proposed lease transaction within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of final proposed lease documentation and any other information needed for its decision, and Lender’s failure to approve a Lease within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed its disapproval thereof.  Notwithstanding the above, if Senior Lender has consented to any Lease, Lender’s consent and approval shall not be required.

 

(iii) A Lease, which has been consented to by the Lender (or as to which Lender’s consent is not required under the terms of clause (ii)), is hereinafter referred to 

 

  

48

  

 

as an “Approved Lease.”  An Approved Lease shall not be amended or modified (in any material respect) or terminated without the Lender’s prior written consent.

 

(iv) Borrower shall not accept any rental payment under any Approved Lease in advance of its due date, other than acceptance of a prepayment of the first month’s rent upon the execution of an Approved Lease.

 

(n) Reserved.

 

(o) Lender’s Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement.  In case of any Event of Default or material Default hereunder, Borrower (in addition to Lender’s attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.5) will pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with such Event of Default or material Default, including, without limitation, any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and any post-judgment enforcement action including, without limitation, supplementary proceedings) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Project, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Lender or Borrower’s obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto (including fees and costs of paralegals), shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrower to Lender, payable on demand.  Such attorneys’ fees and expenses shall include fees and expenses of Lender’s in-house counsel as specified in Section 7.5.

 

(p) Appraisals.  Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or updated Appraisal of the Project at any time and from time to time, at Lender’s cost; provided however, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in this regard.  If a material Default or an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay the reasonable costs for any such Appraisal upon Lender’s request.

 

(q) Financial Statements and Reports.

 

(i) Borrower and Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender annual financial statements with respect to Borrower and Guarantor within ninety (90) days after the end of its fiscal year. Guarantor’s financial statements shall be audited and Borrower’s financial statements shall be certified by Borrower’s managing member. Guarantor and, or Borrower shall also each deliver to Lender quarterly financial statements within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter.  Each such quarterly financial statement shall be accompanied by a certification by an authorized financial officer of Guarantor as to such Guarantor’s compliance with the Guarantor Financial Covenants and attaching information sufficient to demonstrate such compliance. All such financial statements shall be in a format approved in writing by Lender in Lender’s 

 

  

49

  

 

reasonable discretion and in substance acceptable to Lender.  Each financial statement shall be certified as true, complete and correct by its preparer and by Borrower or, in the case of Guarantor’s financial statements, by the Guarantor to whom it relates.  Financial statements of Guarantor shall include verifications, supporting schedules and additional statements as needed to substantiate the information contained in such statements.  In addition, such financial statements shall include disclosure of any pending or threatened litigation and judgments entered against Borrower or Guarantor.  Borrower and Guarantor shall deliver to Lender Borrower’s, Guarantor’s, and each entity in which a Guarantor has a material interest, federal and state tax returns by April 15 of each year (except that if the date on which such returns may be filed is extended beyond April 15, then such entity shall provide Lender with a copy of the extension request and shall furnish such tax returns to Lender within thirty (30) days after the date such returns are filed).  Borrower shall inform Lender as to any filed or threatened (in writing) litigation which would have a material adverse effect on Borrower or Guarantor’s ability to perform their respective obligations under the Loan Documents promptly after learning thereof.  Within thirty (30) days following the end of each month during the term of the Loan, Borrower will provide to Lender, unaudited, certified (by Borrower) operating statements of the Project, and leasing reports relating to the Project, in such form as Lender may reasonably request.  Borrower and Guarantor shall provide such additional financial information as Lender reasonably requires.  Borrower shall during regular business hours permit Lender or any of its agents or representatives to have access to and examine all of its books and records regarding the development and operation of the Project and, in addition, agrees to provide Lender with copies of any purchase contracts pertaining to the Project.  Borrower agrees that Lender may retain an investigator to research available public records and information relating to Borrower, the principals of Borrower and Guarantor;

 

(ii) Borrower shall furnish to Lender within three (3) Business Days of receipt from time to time each proposed budget and “Operating Plan” received from Hotel Operator.

(t) Indemnification.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender, including each party owning an interest in the Loan and their respective officers, directors, employees and consultants (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against all claims, injury, damage, loss, liability, cost and/or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of any and every kind to any persons or property by reason of (i) the Construction; (ii) the sale, operation or maintenance of the Project; (iii) any claim with respect to application, disposition or return of any Earnest Money Deposit or Upgrade Deposit, (iv) any breach of representation or warranty, Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or related Document; or (v) any other matter arising in connection with the Loan, Borrower, Guarantor, any Residential Unit Purchaser or Sales Agreement, or the Project.

(bb) Correction of Defects.  Within five (5) days after Borrower acquires knowledge of or receives notice of a material defect in the Improvements or any material departure from the Approved Plans and Specifications, or any other requirement of this Agreement, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing and proceed with diligence to correct all such defects and departures.

In the event the Project produces gross operating revenues, Borrower shall establish with Senior Lender or Beal Bank, an interest bearing operating account for the Project (the “Project Operating Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit, on the Business Day received or, if received on a day which is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following the day of receipt, all revenue associated with the Project (including any Net Operating Income distributed by Hotel Operator to the Borrower), and from which Borrower shall make withdrawals to pay all operating expenses (other than interest on the Loan) of the Project and, to the extent of any remaining Net Operating Income, payments on the Senior Loan as set out in the Senior Loan Agreement.  Effective upon the payment in full of the Senior Loan and the release of Senior Lender’s lien on the Project Operating Account, Borrower hereby pledges to Lender, (A) the Project Operating Account and all funds on deposit therein, and, (B) to the extent permitted by, and subject to the limits of, the Hotel Operating Agreement and the Non-Disturbance Agreement, all other accounts to be established in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Hotel Operating Agreement, and all funds on deposit therein.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and to the provisions of Section 16.1(b) below, Lender may elect to negotiate, settle, collect, retain and apply upon the indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents all proceeds of insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively referred to as “Proceeds”) after deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including reasonable attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges.  After the Senior Loan has been paid in full, Lender shall have the right to participate with Borrower in negotiation of any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claim arising in connection with a casualty to the Improvements or any condemnation of all or part of the Project; provided, however, if an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to settle any claim without Borrower’s participation or consent.  Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, any Proceeds remaining after repayment of the indebtedness under the Loan Documents shall be paid by Lender to Borrower.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 16.1(a) to the contrary, and subject to the provision of the Intercreditor Agreement in the event of any casualty to the Improvements or any condemnation of part of the Project, Lender agrees to make available the Proceeds for restoration of the Improvements if and as required by the Non-Disturbance Agreement or if (i) no Event of Default or material Default exists, (ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Lender, (iii) in Lender’s reasonable judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the Improvements (together with undisbursed proceeds of the Loan, if any, allocated for the cost of the Construction and any sums deposited with Lender by Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) the cost of restoration does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the stated amount of the Note, (v) if Lender determines that the cost of restoration exceeds $5,000,000, Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that the values set forth in the Appraisal reviewed and approved by Lender at Closing remain valid; (vi) in Lender’s reasonable determination, the Project can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with applicable Laws, (vii) Guarantor reaffirms the Guaranty in writing, (viii) Borrower shall have provided evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that following restoration (and completion of the Project) the Pre-Sale Requirement will remain satisfied, (ix) the Hotel Documents, and the Venue Documents, will each remain in full force and effect; and (x) in Lender’s reasonable determination, such restoration is likely to be completed so that the Residential Units sufficient to satisfy the Pre-sale Requirement may be delivered to all 

 

  

57

  

 

Residential Unit Purchasers prior to the outside delivery dates contained in their respective Sales Agreements and in any event not later than the Maturity Date.  On and after such time as the condominium is formed, Borrower agrees to vote its votes with respect to all unsold Residential Units (and to cause all Borrower appointed directors to vote their votes) in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Article 16.

(a) Proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate Governmental Authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Senior Lender;

 

(b) In the event the Proceeds and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to assure Lender that the Senior Loan will be In Balance, promptly deposit with Senior Lender any amount necessary to place the Senior Loan In Balance; and

 

(c) Promptly proceed with the assumption of construction of the Improvements, including the repair of all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its former condition.

Lender may from time to time, with written notice to Borrower, sell all or any part of the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan (i) if and to the extent required by applicable regulatory authority and (ii) to any Affiliate of Lender.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Lender will not sell all or any part of the Loan or grant participation in the Loan without Borrower’s prior written consent. Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith that do not materially adversely affect Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under the Loan Documents or materially increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.  No such assignment or participation will release Lender from any liability under the Loan Documents.

 

	
17.2  

	
Prohibition of Assignments and Transfers by Borrower.

 

Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall be void.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrower shall not suffer or permit any change in the ownership, or management or economic interests (whether direct or indirect) of the Project, or any Transfer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as all owners of interests in Borrower satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1(y) above (a) so long as CJUF continues to hold the ownership 

 

  

58

  

 

interest in Borrower which CJUF held at Closing and no monetary Event of Default then exists, or if a monetary Event of Default does exist and is cured by Borrower or CJUF, CJUF may  with prior written notice to Lender (but without Lender’s consent) replace Stratus Block 21 Investments, L.P. as the managing member of Borrower (with Stratus Block 21 Investments, L.P. retaining its current ownership interest but as non-managing member), (b) even if a monetary Event of Default then exists, so long as CJUF continues to hold the ownership interest in Borrower which CJUF held at Closing, CJUF may request that Lender approve CJUF replacing Stratus Block 21 Investments, L.P. as managing member of Borrower (with Stratus Block 21 Investments, L.P. retaining its current ownership interest but as non-managing member), and Lender shall grant or deny such consent in its reasonable discretion, (c) any buyout of a member’s interest or change in control permitted by the Operating Agreement of Borrower, as such Operating Agreement has been consented to by Lender, may be effected provided all membership interests in Borrower remain encumbered by the Pledge Agreement, it being agreed that when and as required by Lender, any new member in Borrower must execute and deliver to Lender a Joinder Agreement relating to the Pledge Agreement, and (d) the following Transfers of interests in Borrower’s direct or indirect constituent entities shall be permitted without Lender’s consent:  (i) Transfers of direct or indirect interests in Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund II, L.P., (ii) Transfers of non-controlling interests in Guarantor, (iii) the transfer of an interest of no more than twenty percent (20%) in Borrower to Wheelock Street Capital (or an entity affiliated with Wheelock Street Capital) or another preferred equity provider who may provide up to $35,000,000.00 of equity through Borrower for the Project and any transfers of direct and indirect interests in that new equity partner; (iv) Leases permitted hereunder; and (v) the sale and release of Residential Units pursuant to Article 14 hereof.  Borrower may also dispose of immaterial quantities of personal property in the ordinary course of business without Lender’s prior consent.

 

	
17.3  

	
Prohibition of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.

 

In addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 17.2 above, Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Project, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, mortgage, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender’s rights in connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of ERISA.  Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions.  The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) whenever both the Senior Lender’s approval and/or the Lender’s approval are required under the Loan Documents and the Senior Loan Documents for the same matter, an approval by the Senior Lender shall be deemed an approval by the Lender under the Loan Documents; (ii) whenever Lender approval is required under the Loan Documents and the same matter requires Senior Lender approval under the Senior Loan Documents, an approval by the Senior Lender shall be deemed an approval by the Lender under the Loan Documents; and (iii) the Loan Documents and all rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents are subject and subordinate to the Senior Loan Documents as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(i)           In the event any insurance policy (except for general and other liability and Workers Compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of; (a) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured; (b) the occupancy or use of the property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof; or (c) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

(j)           Any insurance maintained pursuant to this Agreement may be evidenced by blanket insurance policies covering the premises and other properties or assets of Borrower or its affiliates; provided that any such policy shall in all other respects comply with the requirements of this section.  Lender, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine whether such blanket policies contain sufficient limits of insurance.

 

(k)           Any insurance carried by Lender shall be for its sole benefit and shall not inure to the benefit of Borrower and Insurance required from Borrower shall be primary to any available, if any, to Lender.

 

(l)           All required policies, other than professional liability, shall provide that insurers have waived rights of subrogation against Lender.  The required insurance shall be primary without right of contribution from any insurance, which may be carried by Lender.

 

(m)           The required limits are minimum limits established by Lender and nothing contained herein shall be construed to mean the required limits are adequate or appropriate to protect Borrower from greater loss.

Notes:

	
1.

	
Borrower has required duty to employ Urban Partners to market retail and restaurant space.  U.P. represents all retail in the Second Street District.

	
2.

	
Retail and Restaurant commissions are calculated as 6% of base rent over the initial term of the lease. Split is 4% to tenant rep and 2% to landlord rep for Retail and Restaurant.

	
3.

	
Office commissions are calculated as 6% of gross rent over the initial term of the lease. Splits are the same as Retail.

	
4.

	
Additional Rent applies to the retail and restaurant leases. It is calculated as 6% of annual Gross Sales over the Natural Breakpoint.

	
  

	
The Natural Breakpoint = Base Rent / 6%.  The landlord will then receive 6% of all annual Gross Sales in excess of the Natural Breakpoint.

	
  

	
For example: Base Rent = $30 psf. Natural Breakpoint = $30 / 6% = $500 psf. Gross Sales = $800 psf.

	
  

	
Landlord will receive additional rent on top of Base Rent equal to $18 psf = ($800 - $500) * 6%.

	
  

	
Total Rent = Base Rent + Percentage Rent = $30 + $18 = $48 psf.

	
  

	
Commissions are not payable on Percentage Rent.

	
5.

	
Lease terms not in compliance with this Exhibit or the Amended and Restated Construction Loan Agreement require Lender’s prior written consent.

	
6.

	
Any leasing commissions payable to parties affiliated with Borrower shall require Lender’s prior written consent.

	
7.

	
Each Lease to a tenant affiliated with the Borrower requires Lender’s prior written consent.

default in any other obligation under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust and/or any other Loan Document which can be cured by the payment of money and if any such failure or default remains uncured upon the expiration of five (5) days following the date written notice thereof is given by or on behalf of Payee to Maker; provided, however, (x) Payee will not be obligated to give such written notice more than twice during any twelve (12) month period, and following the second such notice during a twelve (12) month period, any subsequent default or failure during the then current twelve (12) month period shall constitute an Event of Default without any notice given by or on behalf of Payee and (y) such written notice of default and five (5) day cure period provisions shall not apply to Maker’s obligation to pay the balance due on this Note on the Maturity Date hereof (whether such Maturity Date is the Final Maturity Date or any accelerated Maturity Date effected pursuant to any of the Loan Documents);

 

(ii) The occurrence of any Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, or the occurrence of a default under any other Loan Document which remains uncured upon the expiration of any cure period applicable thereto as set forth in the Loan Document under which such default occurred.

 

(b) The failure to exercise the foregoing option to accelerate the Maturity Date of this Note upon the happening of one or more Events of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option at any subsequent time during the continuance of an Event of Default, and no such failure shall nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express written consent of Payee.

 

6. Collateral.  This Note is secured, among other things, by the Deed of Trust, which contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain events.

 

7. Compliance with Law.  All agreements between Maker and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the Final Maturity Date or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Payee exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest in regard to the loan evidenced by this Note would otherwise be payable to Payee in excess of the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, the interest payable to Payee shall be reduced to the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance Payee shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest in regard to the loan evidenced by this Note by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law, an amount equal to the excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance hereof and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive amount of interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Maker.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Payee, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period (including any renewal or extension) until payment in full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law.  Payee expressly disavows any intent to contract for, charge or receive interest in regard to the loan evidenced by this Note in an amount which exceeds the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law.  This paragraph shall control all agreements between Maker and Payee.

 

8. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  If an Event of Default shall occur, and in the event that thereafter this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or in the event this Note is collected in whole or in part through legal proceedings of any nature, then and in any such case Maker promises to pay on demand by Payee all reasonable costs of collection, including, but not limited to,

reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the holder hereof, on account of such collection, whether or not suit is filed.

 

9. Cumulative Rights.  No delay on the part of the holder of this Note in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  Enforcement by the holder of this Note of any security for the payment hereof shall not constitute any election by it of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other remedy available to it.

 

10. Headings.  The paragraph headings used in this Note are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Note.

 

11. Notices and Demands.  Any notice or demand to be given or to be served upon Maker in connection with this Note must be in writing and shall be given by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, properly addressed, with postage prepaid, addressed to Maker as follows:
