           (ii) From and after the payment of any Partial Release Prepayment, the amount of the monthly payments of interest and/or principal shall be recalculated by Lender and shall be based on the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of such prepayment date over an assumed amortization period of 240 months minus the number of months elapsed since the first Payment Date.

 

(b)    On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender all principal outstanding under the Note or otherwise in respect of the Loan, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other Obligations due under the Loan Documents.

 

(c)     Except during the existence of any Event of Default, all payments received by Lender under the Loan Documents shall be applied: first, to any fees and expenses due to Lender under the Loan Documents, including any Applicable Prepayment Fee; second, to any Default Rate interest and/or late charges; third, to Impounds (if any are required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents); fourth to accrued and unpaid interest under the Note; fifth, to the principal sum of the Note, and sixth, to any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.  During the existence of an Event of Default, payments received by Lender may be applied to the Obligations in the order or amounts determined by Lender in its discretion.

 

(d)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time) on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to its account at such bank(s) as Lender may from time to time designate by delivering written notice to Borrower.  Any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.  All payments made by Borrower hereunder, or by any Borrower Party under the other Loan Documents, shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 2.4.    Prepayment

 

(a)    Except as expressly hereinafter set forth in this Section 2.4 or as otherwise provided in Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3, no full or partial prepayments of the principal balance of the Note shall be allowed.

 

(b)    At any time following the last day of the Lockout Period (or on and after October 1, 2009 in connection with a Partial Release pursuant to Section 7.15), upon issuance of a Prepayment Notice, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in full (but not in part, except as expressly permitted in Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3) on any Business Day by paying the sum of (i) the entire remaining outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus (ii) all unpaid interest accrued on the prepayment amount, plus (iii) all other Obligations, plus (iv) a prepayment fee equal to the Applicable Prepayment Fee.

 

(c)     Each Prepayment Notice shall specify the intended date of prepayment, which date shall be a Business Day.  After delivery of a Prepayment Notice, the amounts payable under Section 2.4(b) shall be due and payable in full on the date specified in such Prepayment Notice unless a Borrower Party delivers a written revocation notice to Lender at least three (3) Business Days prior to the scheduled prepayment date, and failure to pay the same in full on such date without proper revocation shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an Event of Default, without notice or opportunity to cure.  If the amounts necessary to prepay the Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof are received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time), such prepayment shall be deemed to have been made on the next occurring Business Day and Lender shall be entitled to (i) recalculate the Applicable Prepayment Fee associated with such prepayment, and (ii) receive interest on the outstanding principal balance to be prepaid, calculated at the Contract Rate or the Default Rate, as applicable, through the effective date of such prepayment.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at any time between July 1, 2018 and the Scheduled Maturity Date, upon issuance of a Prepayment Notice, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in full (but not in part, except as expressly permitted in Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3), without premium or additional fees or expenses (including any Applicable Prepayment Fee), by paying the entire remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, and all other Obligations (provided that Borrower shall not be entitled to the benefit of the above-described open prepayment period when calculating the Applicable Prepayment Fee for any prepayment that is tendered at any time prior to said open prepayment period).

 

(e)    Borrower acknowledges that it possesses no right to prepay the Loan, except as expressly provided in this Section 2.4 or as otherwise provided in Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3.  Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that, except as so expressly provided, if the Loan is prepaid prior to July 1, 2018, for any reason (including acceleration of the Scheduled Maturity Date by reason of an Event of Default), any subsequent tender of payment of the Loan made by Borrower or by any Person on behalf of Borrower or otherwise, including any tender of payment at any time prior to or at foreclosure sale or proceedings or during any redemption period following foreclosure, or during any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, shall constitute an evasion of the restrictions on prepayment set forth herein, and shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date requiring payment of the Applicable Prepayment Fee, and Lender shall not be required to accept such prepayment if it does not include payment of the Applicable Prepayment Fee.

 

(f)    If any actual or deemed prepayment is tendered or deemed tendered during the Lockout Period (other than a prepayment tendered or deemed tendered pursuant to Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3), Borrower shall be obligated to pay Lender, and the Obligations shall include, a prepayment fee (the “Lockout Prepayment Fee”) calculated by Lender in its discretion (which may or may not equal the Standard Yield Maintenance otherwise due in connection with any such prepayment but for the operation of the Lockout Period), and Lender shall not be required to accept such payment or credit any deemed payment if it does not include payment of the Lockout Prepayment Fee as calculated by Lender.  Any prepayment tendered during the Lockout Period in connection with a Partial Release pursuant to Section 7.15 must include a prepayment fee equal to Lockout Yield Maintenance.

 

(g)    Lender’s acceptance of a prepayment without the Applicable Prepayment Fee shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of its right to require payment of the Applicable Prepayment Fee in accordance with the terms hereof or a waiver of any rights and remedies Lender may have under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity on account of Borrower’s failure to timely pay the Applicable Prepayment Fee as and when required hereunder.

 

(h)    To the extent permitted by law, Lender may bid at any foreclosure sale, as part of the Obligations, the amount of the Applicable Prepayment Fee calculated as if prepayment of the Loan occurs on the date of such foreclosure sale.  To the extent the amount of the Obligations must be determined as of a date certain pursuant to a judicial foreclosure, the Loan will be deemed prepaid as of the date judgment enters and the Applicable Prepayment Fee due and payable hereunder (if any) will be calculated as if prepayment of the Obligations occurred on the date of said judgment.

 

(i)     Borrower and Lender have negotiated the Loan upon the understanding that if the Loan is paid or prepaid prior to July 1, 2018 for any reason, except as expressly provided in this Section 2.4 or as otherwise provided in Sections 3.2(i), 3.3, 7.5, 7.15 or 9.3, Lender shall receive the Applicable Prepayment Fee as compensation for: (i) the cost of reinvesting the prepayment proceeds and the loss of the contracted rate of return on the Loan; and (ii) the privilege of early payment of the Loan, which Borrower has expressly bargained for and which privilege Lender would not have granted to Borrower without Borrower’s obligation to pay the Applicable Prepayment Fee.  Borrower agrees that the Applicable Prepayment Fee provided for herein is reasonable and that Lender shall not be obligated, as a condition subsequent to its receipt of the Applicable Prepayment Fee, to actually reinvest all or any part of the amount prepaid in any United States Treasury instruments or obligations or otherwise.

ARTICLE 3.                                

                                                                                                   INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS

 

Section 3.1.    Insurance.

 

(a)    Insurance Coverage.  Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for each Individual Borrower, Lender, each Property and the other Collateral (collectively, the “Insurance”) providing at a minimum the following:

 

           (i)    Insurance with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property relating to each Property against any peril currently included within the classification “All Risk” or “Special Perils,” in each case (1) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with losses adjusted on a replacement cost basis; (2) containing an agreed amount endorsement (unless waived by Lender in its reasonable discretion) with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property relating to such Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (3) providing for no deductible in excess of $25,000 and no self-retention (unless disclosed to and approved by Lender); (4) with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement (including demolition costs); and (5) with coverage for “mold” and related damage with reasonable and customary limits (a sublimit of $1,000,000 for “mold” coverage being deemed “reasonable”).  The Full Replacement Cost of each Property shall be evaluated from time to time at the request of Lender (but not more frequently than once in any twelve (12) calendar months, unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the Full Replacement Cost may be evaluated from time to time as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary) by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Borrower and approved by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the appraiser or contractor shall be designated by Lender and paid by Borrower).  No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment of the Full Replacement Cost for any Property shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection 3.1(a)(i);

 

           (ii)    Commercial general liability insurance against all claims for personal injury or property damage occurring upon, in or about each Property, including “Dram Shop” or other liquor liability coverage if alcoholic beverages are sold from or may be consumed at any Property and garage keepers’ liability coverage (if applicable), such insurance (1) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000.00 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000.00; (2) to be continued at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be increased by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate (in the reasonable estimation of Lender); and (3) to cover at least the following hazards:  (A) premises and operations (including Fire Damage Legal Liability); (B) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (C) independent contractors; (D) blanket contractual liability for advertising and all written and oral contracts to the extent of tort liability; and (E) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in the Loan Documents to the extent the same is available;

 

           (iii)    Business interruption/loss of rents insurance (1) with loss payable to Lender; (2) covering “All Risks” or “Special Perils” as required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.1(a)(i) and (ii); (3) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from each Property (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period of not less than twelve (12) months following the date of loss (the amount of such coverage shall be determined prior to the Funding Date and at least once each year thereafter based on the greater of: (x) reasonable estimate by Borrower Parties of the gross income from each Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period, and (y) the highest gross income received during the term of the Note for any consecutive twelve (12) month period prior to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined); (4) with a deductible of not greater than an amount equal to 48 hours loss; and (5) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the affected Improvements has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until the earlier of such income returning to the same level it was at prior to the loss or the expiration of one

hundred eighty (180) days from the date that normal operations are resumed at the affected Property (notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period).  All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection 3.1(a)(iii) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the Obligations from time to time due and payable under the Note and this Agreement; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default exists, Lender shall disburse to the applicable Individual Borrower, on a monthly basis (consistent with an annual operating budget delivered to Lender) funds representing business interruption proceeds (to the extent actually received by Lender) for payment of Operating Expenses and Debt Service upon receipt by Lender of a written request for disbursement from the applicable Individual Borrower, summarizing the Operating Expenses and/or Debt Service to be paid with the subject disbursement; provided, further, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay the Obligations on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are actually paid to and retained by Lender out of the proceeds of such business interruption insurance;

 

           (iv)    At all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to any Property, applicable contractors shall provide: (1) owner’s and contractor’s protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability insurance policy referenced in Subsection 3.1(a)(ii); and (2) the insurance provided for in Subsections 3.1(a)(i) and (iii), written in a so-called “builder’s risk completed value form” (A) on a non-reporting basis, (B) against “All Risks” or “Special Perils” as required pursuant to Subsection 3.1(a)(i), (C) including permission to occupy such Property, and (D) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

 

           (v)    To the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000.00 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about each Property, or in connection with each Property or its operation (if applicable);

 

           (vi)    Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance in customary and reasonable amounts (to the extent Lender, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, deems such coverage reasonably necessary based on the equipment at a particular Property);

 

           (vii)    If any portion of any Property is at any time located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor or comparable law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” determined in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 3.1(a)(i), and (2) the maximum limit of coverage available for such Property under the Flood Insurance Acts;

 

           (viii)    Umbrella liability insurance in an aggregate amount of not less than $25,000,000.00 per occurrence, and with deductibles (including any self insurance or retention) and on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under Subsection 3.1(a)(ii); and

 

           (ix)     Such other insurance (other than terrorism or earthquake insurance) and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably require against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to each Property located in or around the region in which the Portfolio is located.

 

(b)    Policies.  All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” and individually, a “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the Funding Date, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment), issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized and admitted to do business in the State, having a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of “X” or better, each as determined by AM Best Company, Inc., and otherwise acceptable to Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment (each such insurer satisfying the foregoing is referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”).  Not less than ten (10) days 

 

 

  

16

  

 

prior to the expiration dates of the Policies in force as of the Funding Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates (in ACORD format 25 and ACORD format 28 (2003/10 form)) evidencing renewal Policies complying with the requirements of this Section 3.1, such certificates to be in format reasonably required by Lender and to be marked “premium paid” (or Borrower shall provide other evidence satisfactory to Lender (in its reasonable judgment) of the payment in full of all premiums due under such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”)).

 

(c)    Blanket Policies.  Borrower shall not obtain (i) any blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance by Lender (Lender acknowledges its approval of the blanket policies in effect as of the Funding Date, and Lender’s approval of Borrower’s blanket Policies following the Funding Date will not be required so long as any replacement blanket Policy is substantially similar to the blanket Policy approved by Lender on the Funding Date, confirmed by the ACORD certificates described in Section 3.1(b)), or (ii) without Lender’s prior written consent (issued or withheld in Lender’s reasonable judgment), separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.1(a).  If a Borrower Party obtains separate insurance or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certificates with respect to each Policy to be delivered to Lender as required in Subsection 3.1(b).

 

(d)    Lender as Insured.  All Policies, except for the Policies referenced in Subsection 3.1(a)(v), shall name the applicable Individual Borrower as the named insured and Lender as an additional insured and loss payee, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, builder’s risk, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called “New York standard non-contributing mortgagee” clause in favor of Lender providing that any loss thereunder covered by such Policy shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)    Policy Endorsements.  All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

           (i)    No act or negligence of any Borrower Party, of anyone acting for a Borrower Party, or of any Tenant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy that might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

           (ii)    No Policy may be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured or additional insured;

 

           (iii)    The issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

           (iv)     Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums or assessments thereon, except that Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, pay any Insurance Premiums to continue any Policy in full force and effect in the event Borrower fails to do so (any such amounts so paid by Lender shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period, and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate accruing from the expiration of the Demand Period until Lender receives payment in full of such amount).

 

(f)                      Intentionally Omitted.

 

(g)             Lender Self-Help.  If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Portfolio, including obtaining such Insurance as Lender, in its discretion, deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining and maintaining such Insurance shall be paid by Borrower to Lender before the expiration of the Demand Period, and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until Lender receives payment in full of such amount.

 

 

  

17

  

 

(h)    Vesting in Lender.  In the event of a foreclosure or other transfer of title to any Property to Lender or a third party purchaser at foreclosure in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, and to the extent permitted under the Policies, all right, title and interest of Borrower Parties in and to all proceeds payable pursuant to the Policies as of the effective date of transfer of title (including proceeds payable under blanket policies) shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure.

 

(i)                      Subrogation.  All Insurance (as applicable) and all renewals thereof shall contain, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, a standard “Waiver of Subrogation” endorsement.

 

Section 3.2.    Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds.

 

(a)    Restoration.  If any portion of any Property (or any material portion of the other Collateral) shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender.  If Net Proceeds are made available to a Borrower Party for Restoration as provided in Subsections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d), the applicable Individual Borrower shall, in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.2, promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the affected Collateral as nearly as possible to the condition the affected Collateral was in immediately prior to such Casualty (such repair and restoration, collectively, a “Restoration”) and shall pay all costs of such Restoration (even if Net Proceeds are not sufficient to pay in the full the cost of Restoration).  Regardless of whether Net Proceeds are made available to any Individual Borrower, Borrower shall, promptly following the occurrence of a Casualty and diligently thereafter, undertake all actions necessary to keep the affected Property safe, secure and free from reasonably foreseeable hazards and otherwise in material compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.  Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in this Agreement.

 

(b)    Adjustments by Lender.  Upon any Casualty covered by any Insurance, then (i) if an Event of Default exists, Lender is hereby authorized, at its option (exercisable in its discretion), to settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower Parties; or (ii) if the Casualty in question is a Major Damage Event, Lender shall allow the applicable Individual Borrower up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of the Casualty to settle and adjust such claim with the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that if the applicable Individual Borrower has failed to settle and adjust any claim associated with a Casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such Major Damage Event, Lender is hereby authorized, at its option (exercisable in its reasonable discretion), to settle and adjust any claim with the prior written consent of the applicable Individual Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that in any case, Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and hold (without interest) any and all such insurance proceeds subject to the terms of this Section 3.2.  If a Casualty does not constitute a Major Damage Event, then the applicable Individual Borrower shall diligently pursue settlement of all insurance claims, shall hold all Net Proceeds associated with such non-Major Damage Event in trust to be applied toward the costs associated with the restoration of the affected Property, and shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion all restoration and repair work reasonably necessary to return the affected Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to the non-Major Damage Event.  The applicable Individual Borrower shall provide Lender with reasonable written updates, at reasonable intervals, in connection with all restoration efforts associated with non-Major Damage Events.  The reasonable third party expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender, or, to the extent sufficient insurance proceeds are available, said expenses shall be deducted from said proceeds by Lender prior to any other application thereof.  Each Qualified Insurer is hereby authorized and directed by Borrower to make payment for all losses associated with a Major Damage Event to Lender alone, and not to Lender and any Individual Borrower or any other Person jointly.  Borrower agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lender all documents and promptly make all deliveries reasonably requested by Lender in order to permit Lender to adjust any such claim and to authorize and direct any insurer to pay insurance proceeds relating to a Major Damage Event to Lender alone and not jointly to Lender and any Individual Borrower or any other Person.  “Net Proceeds” means the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender under the Policies described in Subsections 3.1(a) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable third party costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting same.

 

 

  

18

  

 

(c)    Conditions to Disbursements for Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration of a Major Damage Event:

 

 (i) Lender shall make the Net Proceeds associated with a Major Damage Event available to the applicable Individual Borrower for Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are satisfied (satisfaction to be determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment):

 

(A)   As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, no monetary Potential Default (which solely for the purposes of this provision means a failure to make a payment of a liquidated sum of money on the due date thereof but for which the applicable grace period has yet to expire) then exists and no Event of Default then exists;

 

(B)    Within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the Casualty, the applicable Individual Borrower shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all required Restoration Documents and applications for the issuance of all permits required for the Restoration, with copies thereof delivered to Lender;

 

(C)    Lender and the Casualty Consultant shall have approved the Restoration Documents in accordance with Subsection 3.2(e);

 

(D)    As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that based upon a report issued by the Casualty Consultant and such other factors as Lender reasonably deems relevant, the costs of Restoration and ongoing Operating Expenses (including Debt Service) allocated to the affected Property will be covered out of (1) undisbursed Net Proceeds (including the proceeds of the coverage referred to in Subsection 3.1(a)(iii)), (2) Rents that are and shall continue to be generated by the affected Property despite the Casualty, and/or (3) other funds of Borrower deposited with Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.2(g);

 

(E)    Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied that, within six (6) months following completion of the Restoration, the Net Operating Income associated with the affected Property will be restored to a level sufficient to generate a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (based on a fully amortizing 20-year schedule) for such affected Property of at least 125%;

 

(F)    Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the Casualty, or (3) such time as may be required under all Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the affected Collateral to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty;

 

(G)    Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its counsel, pursuant to which Borrower shall guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2;

 

(H)    Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied that the affected Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance (in all material respects) with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

(I)          Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration shall be undertaken and completed such that no Lease (or combination of Leases), which are in place at the affected Property as of the date of the Casualty and which cover (singularly or in the aggregate) 25% or more of the gross rentable area of the affected Property, can be terminated as a result of the Casualty;

 

 

  

19

  

 

(J)                 Promptly following the issuance of all required permits and the decision of Lender to make Net Proceeds available for Restoration in accordance with this Subsection 3.2(c), the applicable Individual Borrower shall commence the Restoration;

 

(K)    As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) that the applicable Individual Borrower is diligently pursuing the Restoration to satisfactory completion; and

 

(L)    As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Borrower must be in compliance with the conditions specified in Subsections 3.2(d), (e) and (g) below.

 

(d)    Disbursement Procedures.  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender (in a non-interest bearing account) and, unless and until disbursed to the applicable Individual Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.  Subject to satisfaction of the conditions of this Section 3.2, the Net Proceeds designated for Restoration costs shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, the applicable Individual Borrower from time to time prior to or during the course of the Restoration, but not more than once per 30-day period, upon receipt of (i) a disbursement request from the applicable Borrower Party in form and content reasonably required by Lender, (ii) an inspection report from the Casualty Consultant acceptable to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment), (iii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement), including a certification from the applicable Individual Borrower that there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or material supplier’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the affected Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or, in the alternative, fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company, and (iv) title insurance “date downs” and endorsements to the Title Policy without exception as to mechanics’ or material supplier’s liens, intervening choate or inchoate liens, judgments, survey matters, or other material matters of record.  Any Net Proceeds received by Lender and held for application to Operating Expenses and Debt Service shall be disbursed to the applicable Individual Borrower in accordance with Subsection 3.1(a)(iii).  All Net Proceeds disbursed to a Borrower for Restoration shall be held in trust by the recipient and used for the sole purpose of completion of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2.

 

(e)    Restoration Documents.  All plans and specifications and construction agreements (collectively, “Restoration Documents”) necessary for the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and by a qualified independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), all such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld.  In the event Lender does not notify the applicable Individual Borrower of the approval or disapproval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant of the Restoration Documents within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a complete set thereof by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, then Lender and the Casualty Consultant shall be deemed to have approved the Restoration Documents.  Subject to all necessary approvals and consents (the consent of Borrower Parties being deemed issued), Lender shall have the use of the Restoration Documents and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the general contractor and other significant contractors engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).  All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration or for the payment of Operating Expenses, including reasonable third party attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s reasonable fees (which in no event shall exceed then prevailing market rates), shall be deducted from the Net Proceeds or if the Net Proceeds are not sufficient, paid by Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender.

 

(f)    Amount of Disbursements.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration (including Lender’s reasonable third party costs and expenses), as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage.  “Restoration Retainage” means an amount equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the 

 

 

  

20

  

 

Casualty Consultant, and (ii) the amount actually held back by the applicable Individual Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers engaged in the Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which either (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of that contractor’s, subcontractor’s or material supplier’s contract, or (ii) the applicable contractor, subcontractor or material supplier delivers to Lender lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier.

 

(g)    Restoration Deficiency.  If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof, together with Rents that will continue to be generated by the affected Property despite the Casualty, shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration and ongoing Operating Expenses (including Debt Service) associated with the affected Property, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made (but in all events Borrower shall make such deposit within sixty (60) days following demand).  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration and/or for ongoing Operating Expenses (including Debt Service) associated with the affected Property on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

 

(h)    Release of Remaining Proceeds.  Provided (i) no monetary Potential Default (which solely for the purpose of this provision means a failure to make a payment of a liquidated sum of money on the due date thereof but for which the applicable grace period has yet to expire) then exists and no Event of Default then exists, (ii) Lender shall re-confirm that within six (6) months following completion of the Restoration the Net Operating Income for the affected Property will be restored to a level sufficient to generate a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (based on a fully amortizing 20-year schedule) for such affected Property of at least 125%, (iii) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, and (iv) Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full (except to the extent said costs shall be paid out of the final disbursement), Lender shall promptly remit to the applicable Individual Borrower the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender.

 

(i)    Application of Remaining Proceeds.  If Lender makes a determination (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) pursuant to this Section 3.2 that one or more of the conditions to disbursement of Net Proceeds set forth in Subsection 3.2(c)(i) has not or will not be satisfied, then all Net Proceeds then held by Lender shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date Lender applies the Net Proceeds to the Obligations, no Applicable Prepayment Fee shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment.  If an Event of Default exists while Lender is holding Net Proceeds, Lender may at its option apply the Net Proceeds toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper (including toward payment of any Applicable Prepayment Fee applicable to such prepayment).  If Lender applies Net Proceeds to the Obligations, the lien of the Loan Documents shall be reduced only by the amount of Net Proceeds actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Obligations, but if the Net Proceeds do not discharge the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property in full, then Lender may elect to accelerate repayment of, or Borrower may elect to prepay, the entire remaining outstanding balance of the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property, such prepayment to be made in either case within one hundred twenty 

 

 

  

21

  

 

(120) days following notice from the electing party to the other party (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary for Borrower to secure replacement financing as long as Borrower Parties are diligently pursuing said refinancing in good faith), without any Applicable Prepayment Fee due thereon so long as no Event of Default exists as of either the date Lender so accelerates or Borrower elects prepayment of said Allocated Loan Amount and the date said Allocated Loan Amount is fully and finally repaid.

 

Section 3.3.    Condemnation Awards.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the receipt by a Borrower Party of notice of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking of any Property or any portion thereof.  Lender may participate in any such proceeding relating to a Major Damage Event and the applicable Individual Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments necessary or required by Lender to permit such participation.  Without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Borrower Party, in connection with any Major Damage Event, shall agree to any compensation or award and/or take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to be determined.  All awards and compensation for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of any Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender for application to the Obligations (except as expressly provided below).  Borrower Parties authorize Lender to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and to apply the same toward the payment of the Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper (and provided no Event of Default exists as of the date Lender applies such condemnation proceeds to the Obligations, no Applicable Prepayment Fee shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment), notwithstanding that the Obligations may not then be due and payable; provided, however, that if the condemnation in question does not constitute a Major Damage Event and the applicable Individual Borrower requests that such proceeds be used for non-structural site improvements (such as landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) to the affected Property which are required to be made as a result of such condemnation, Lender will apply the award to such restoration in accordance with disbursement procedures applicable to Net Proceeds.  Borrower Parties, upon request by Lender, shall execute all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to confirm the assignment of the awards and compensation to Lender, free and clear of all Liens, charges (except as expressly set forth above) or encumbrances.  If Lender applies condemnation proceeds to the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property, the lien of the Loan Documents shall be reduced only by the amount of such proceeds actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Obligations, but if such proceeds do not discharge the Obligations in full, then Lender may elect to accelerate repayment of, or Borrower may elect to repay, the entire remaining outstanding balance of the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property, such prepayment to be made in either case within one hundred twenty (120) days following notice from the electing party to the other party (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary for Borrower Parties to secure replacement financing as long as Borrower Parties are diligently pursuing said refinancing in good faith), without any Applicable Prepayment Fee due thereon so long as no Event of Default exists as of both the date Lender so accelerates or Borrower elects repayment of said Allocated Loan Amount and the date said Allocated Loan Amount is fully and finally repaid.

 

Section 3.4.    Impounds.

 

(a)    In connection with a permitted assumption or transfer of the Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c), and in order to assure compliance with Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.2, but not in lieu of such obligations, Borrower (or its permitted successor) shall deposit with Lender, monthly on each Payment Date (commencing on the first Payment Date following Lender’s written request), one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual charges for Taxes (collectively, “Impounds”). Each deposit shall be in an amount reasonably determined by Lender that will be sufficient (when combined with other monthly installments) to make full payment of all Impounds thirty (30) days prior to the date any delinquency or penalty becomes due with respect to such Impounds.  Deposits shall be made on the basis of the Impounds which have been fixed for the then current year; provided, however, that prior to the date that such Impounds have been so fixed, deposits shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate from time to time of the amount of Impounds for the then current year (after giving effect to any recalculation or reassessment or, at Lender’s election, on the basis of the Impounds for the prior year).  All funds so deposited shall not be construed as trust funds, may be held by Lender, without interest, and may be commingled with Lender’s general funds.  Borrower Parties (including any permitted successor to Borrower Parties) hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all Impounds so deposited with Lender for the purpose of securing the Obligations.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all Impounds deposited with Lender may be applied in payment of the Impounds for which such funds have been deposited, or to the payment of the Obligations, as Lender 

 

 

  

22

  

 

may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender.  Borrower’s permitted successor shall furnish Lender with bills for the Impounds at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Impounds first become payable.  If at any time Lender determines that the amount on deposit with Lender, together with the monthly installments to be deposited by Borrower’s permitted successor before the Impounds are payable, are insufficient to pay the Impounds, Borrower’s permitted successor shall deposit any deficiency with Lender within the Demand Period.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall pay the Impounds when the amount on deposit with Lender is sufficient to pay such Impounds and Lender has received a bill for such Impounds.

 

(b)    Borrower Parties acknowledges that Lender may, at any time Impounds are not being collected by Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, engage the services of a tax service company to verify the status of taxes and assessments on the Portfolio.  Lender shall be entitled to rely upon (regardless of whether or not Lender engages a tax service company) any certificate, advice or bill from any authority (or any official thereof) to which such payments are payable, and Lender shall have no duty to inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such certificate, advice or bill or to make any protest in connection therewith.

 

(c)    Nothing contained in this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to affect any right, power, privilege or remedy of Lender under any provision of this Agreement, the Mortgage, any other Loan Document or any statute or rule of law, to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 7.2, to add the amount so paid to the Obligations and to require Borrower to reimburse Lender for such amount, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender.  In the event of any transfer of Borrower’s right, title and interest in or to all or any part of the Portfolio (without implying any consent of Lender to any such transfer except as expressly set forth in this Agreement), Lender shall be entitled to treat such transfer as also effecting an assignment to the transferee of all right, title and interest of Borrower Parties in and to any and all such deposits relating to the transferred portion of the Portfolio.  After any assignment by Lender of its interest in the Loan, any such deposits on hand shall, in Lender’s discretion, be turned over to the assignee or returned to Borrower Parties, and all further responsibility of Lender with respect to such deposits shall terminate.

 

ARTICLE 4.                                

 

                                                                                                                               LEASING MATTERS

 

Section 4.1.    Representations and Warranties.  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:  (a) the rent roll delivered to Lender and attached hereto as Schedule 4.1 (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct in all material respects, and all Leases are valid and in and full force and effect; (b) all of the Leases (including amendments) are in writing, and there are no oral agreements with respect thereto; (c) the copies of the Leases delivered to Lender are true, complete and correct and include any and all amendments; (d) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Borrower Party as “landlord” nor any Tenant is in default in any material respect under any of the Leases; (e) Borrower has no knowledge of any notice of termination or “landlord” default issued by any Tenant with respect to any Lease, and Borrower has provided to Lender copies of all “tenant” default notices issued by or on behalf of an Individual Borrower in respect of uncured tenant defaults; (f) Borrower has not assigned or pledged any of the Leases, the Rents or any interests therein except to Lender; (g) except as set forth in the Rent Roll, no Tenant or other party has an option to purchase all or any portion of any Property; (h) except as set forth on the Rent Roll, no Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease prior to expiration of the stated term of such Lease; (i) no Tenant has prepaid more than one month’s Rent in advance (except for bona fide security deposits as shown on the Rent Roll); and (j) other than amounts applied or returned in accordance with the Leases, the amount of all security deposits held by or on behalf of an Individual Borrower is the entire amount required to be deposited with or on behalf of an Individual Borrower pursuant to the Leases, and said deposits are held, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, in separate and/or interest-bearing accounts.  Within ten (10) days after Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a statement of all tenant security deposits held by or on behalf of an Individual Borrower, certified by an Authorized Representative of Borrower as being true, complete and correct.

 

Section 4.2.    Lender’s Lease Approval Rights.

 

 

  

23

  

 

(a)    Any Leases entered into by or on behalf of any Individual Borrower following the Funding Date that does not constitute a Major Lease shall be on a standard form approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) with no material modifications (except as approved by Lender in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), prior to execution by or on behalf of any Individual Borrower.

 

(b)    From and after the Funding Date, no Borrower Party nor any Person acting on behalf of a Borrower Party shall, without the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld):  (i) enter into any Major Lease, (ii) enter into any amendment, modification, replacement, extension of, or renewal of any Major Lease (whether in existence as of the Funding Date or entered into after the Funding Date), other than extensions and/or renewals expressly contemplated by the terms of any approved Major Lease, (iii) enter into any amendment, modification, replacement, extension, or renewal of any non-Major Lease in a manner that would cause such non-Major Lease to become a Major Lease, (iv) consent to an assignment or subletting associated with any Major Lease, or (v) terminate or accept or acquiesce to the surrender of any Lease (regardless of whether said termination relates to a Major Lease or a non-Major Lease), other than a termination that is expressly provided for in such Lease; provided that Lender’s approval for the termination or surrender of a non-Major Lease shall not be required if following any such termination or surrender, the aggregate Portfolio occupancy continues to be at least eighty percent (80%) (“occupancy” means Tenants in occupancy, paying rent at the rates stipulated in their respective Leases and without any other economic or material non-economic default under such Leases).  If any Individual Borrower intends to accept the termination or surrender of a non-Major Lease based on the immediately preceding exception, then concurrently with the effectiveness of said termination or surrender, the applicable Individual Borrower must provide Lender with a current rent roll and affidavit, in form reasonably required by Lender, confirming compliance with the conditions of said exception.  Lender may condition its consent (when required) to any Lease termination on the deposit of any termination or surrender proceeds with Lender for distribution for costs associated with re-letting the subject space.  In connection with any request for approval relating to a leasing matter, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall notify Borrower whether Lender has approved any such Lease or amendment, modification, replacement, extension, renewal, assignment, subletting, termination or surrender within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of all information reasonably requested by Lender to review any such leasing approval request.  If Lender does not so notify Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of all such information and if no Event of Default exists, Lender’s approval of such leasing matter shall be deemed granted.

 

Section 4.3.    Covenants.  Borrower shall (i) perform, observe, and comply with each of the covenants and agreements which any Individual Borrower is required to perform, observe or comply with under the Leases; (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations to be performed by the Tenants under the Leases; (iii) promptly furnish to Lender any notice of default or termination received by a or on behalf of any Individual Borrower from any Tenant, and any notice of default or termination given by or on behalf of any Individual Borrower to any Tenant; (iv) not collect any Rents for more than thirty (30) days in advance of the time when the same shall become due, except for bona fide security deposits (it being agreed by Borrower that Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender if Borrower collects any security deposit under any Lease equal to or in excess of an amount equal to three (3) month’s Rent under such Lease; (v) not enter into any ground lease or master lease of any part of the Portfolio; (vi) not further assign or encumber any Lease; (vii) hold in trust all payments and other monetary consideration received by or for the benefit of a Borrower Party in connection with any surrender or termination of any Lease and shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited with Lender all such payments and other monetary consideration; and (viii) not, except as permitted in Section 4.2, enter into any new Lease or enter into or accept any extension, modification, termination or renewal of any existing Lease, and any action in violation of clause (v), (vi), (vii), or (viii) of this Section 4.3 shall be void (as to all Borrower Parties ) at the election of Lender.

Following the Funding Date, and within thirty (30) days following Lender’s reasonable request, Borrower shall obtain and furnish to Lender written estoppels in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, executed by the Tenants under all Leases and confirming the term, rent or daily rate, and other provisions and matters relating to the applicable Lease (provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall not make a request under this Section 4.4 with respect to any Lease not more than once during the term of the Loan).

 

 

  

24

  

 

Section 4.5.         Conflict with Assignment of Leases and Rents. Any inconsistency between the terms of this Article 4 and the terms of the Assignment of Leases and Rents shall be controlled by the terms of the Assignment of Leases and Rents.

 

ARTICLE 5.                                

 

                                                                                                             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

As of the Funding Date, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

 

Section 5.1.    Organization and Power.  Each Borrower Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation or existence, and is in compliance with all Legal Requirements applicable to doing business in the State. No Borrower Party is a “foreign person” within the meaning of § 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Section 5.2.    Validity of Loan Documents.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower Party (as applicable) of the Loan Documents (i) are duly authorized and do not require the consent or approval of any other party or Governmental Authority which has not been obtained (and copies of which have been provided to Lender); and (ii) will not violate any Legal Requirement or result in the imposition of any Lien upon the assets of any such party, except as contemplated by the Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower Party (as applicable), enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

 

Section 5.3.    Liabilities; Litigation.

 

(a)    The general financial and operating information relating to each Borrower Party and/or the Portfolio, submitted to Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower Party concurrently with or prior to the date of the Application, is true, complete and correct in all material respects with no significant change since the date of submission.

 

(b)    No Borrower Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or property, and no Borrower Party has knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Borrower Party or any Property.

 

Section 5.4.    Taxes and Assessments.  Except for any Property that includes Excess Collateral as of the Funding Date, each Property constitutes a separate tax parcel, and no parcel forming part of the Portfolio is included within a tax parcel, for ad valorem or local real estate tax purposes, that also includes real property not encumbered by the Mortgage.  There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower Parties, any proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

 

Section 5.5.    Other Agreements; Defaults.  No Borrower Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order, injunction, permit, or restriction which might adversely affect any Property or the business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower Party.  No Borrower Party is in violation of any agreement which violation would have an adverse effect on any Property or any Borrower Party or the business, properties, or assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower Party.

 

Section 5.6.         Compliance with Legal Requirements.

 

(a)    Each Borrower Party has all requisite licenses, permits, franchises, qualifications, certificates of occupancy or other governmental authorizations to own, lease and operate each Property and carry on its business.  The use being made of each Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy and/or applicable permits or governmental authorizations and any other restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting such Property.

 

 

  

25

  

 

(b)    Each Property is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including building, parking, subdivision, land use, health, fire, safety and zoning ordinances and codes).

 

(c)    No Property constitutes, in whole or in part, a legally non-conforming use under any Legal Requirements.

 

(d)    No condemnation has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Property.

 

(e)    Each Property has adequate rights of access to public ways, and all roads necessary for the full utilization of each Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by applicable Governmental Authorities.

 

(f)    Except to the extent that any Property is adequately served by private systems and facilities located on such Property (and disclosed on the survey delivered to Lender on the Funding Date), each Property is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities, all public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of such Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve such Property without passing over other property, except to the extent such other property is subject to a perpetual easement for such utility benefiting such Property.

 

(g)    Borrower and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each other party bound under any declaration, reciprocal easement agreement, or other instrument of covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting any of the Properties are current in the payment of all sums that may be due thereunder and are otherwise in compliance in all material respects with the other provisions thereof.

 

Section 5.7.    Location of Borrower.  The principal place of business and chief executive offices of each Borrower Party are located at the addresses stated in Section 9.1.

 

Section 5.8.    ERISA.  No Borrower Party has established any pension plan for employees that would cause a Borrower Party to be subject to ERISA.

 

Section 5.9.    Margin Stock.  No part of proceeds of the Loan will be used for purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

Section 5.10.                   Tax Filings.  Each Borrower Party has filed (or have obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by such  Borrower Party, respectively.

 

Section 5.11.                   Solvency.  The fair saleable value of each Borrower Parties’  assets exceeds and will, immediately following the funding of the Loan, exceed such Borrower Party’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.  The fair saleable value of each Borrower Parties’ assets are and will, immediately following the funding of the Loan, be greater than such Borrower Party’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its Debts as such Debts become absolute and matured.  Each Borrower Parties’ assets do not and, immediately following the funding of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  No Borrower Party intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur Debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower Party and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such Borrower Party).

 

Section 5.12.                   Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by or on behalf of any Borrower Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact.  There is no fact presently known to any Borrower Party which has not been disclosed to Lender that materially and adversely affects, or as far as any Borrower Party can reasonably predict, might materially and 

 

  

26

  

 

adversely affect, any Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower Party.

 

Section 5.13.                   Property Conditions.  Each Property is free of material structural defects, and all building systems contained therein are in good working order in all material respects, subject to ordinary wear and tear.

 

Section 5.14.                   Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering.

 

(a)    As of the Funding Date, no direct or indirect holder of a beneficial interest in Borrower is an OFAC Prohibited Person.

 

(b)    To comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, all payments by a Borrower Party to Lender or from Lender to a Borrower Party shall only be made in the name of a Borrower Party and to and from a bank account of a bank based or incorporated in or formed under the laws of the United States or a bank that is not a “foreign shell bank” within the meaning of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.), as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as such regulations may be amended from time to time.

 

(c)    Each Borrower Party agrees to provide to Lender, or to cause any other Person having a beneficial interest in a Borrower Party, to provide, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Loan, such information as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or to respond to requests for information concerning the identity of any Borrower Party or any Person having a direct or indirect beneficial interest in any Borrower Party, from any Governmental Authority, self-regulatory organization or financial institution in connection with its anti-money laundering compliance procedures, or to update such information.

 

(d)     The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5.14 shall be deemed repeated and reaffirmed by each Borrower Party as of each Payment Date and as of each date on which any Borrower Party receives any funds from Lender.  Each Borrower Party agrees to promptly notify Lender in writing should it become aware of any change in the information set forth in this Section 5.14.

 

Section 5.15.                   Financing Transaction.  The Loan is (or shall be) evidenced by debt instruments that are intended to be accounted for as “debt” on the balance sheet of each Borrower Party, and each Borrower Party shall account for the Loan as “debt” in all financial statements prepared by or on behalf of each Borrower Party.

 

Section 5.16.                   Personal Property.  Except for the Personal Property listed on Schedule 5.16 attached hereto, no material tangible Personal Property is located within or outside any Property or used or proposed to be used in any Property.  A Borrower Party has good title to all Personal Property free and clear of all Liens, except as disclosed on Schedule 5.16.

(a)    As of the Funding Date, each Property owned by an Individual Borrower is managed by Carveout Indemnitor in accordance with the partnership agreement for such Individual Borrower, and no separate management or leasing agreements currently exist.  Management fees payable to Carveout Indemnitor shall not be modified to the extent that such modification would cause the management fees to exceed market rates payable to unrelated and qualified third party property managers and/or leasing agents.

 

 

  

27

  

 

(b)    No Borrower Party other than Carveout Indemnitor has any right or claim to, or obligation to pay, any fees, commissions, royalties, compensation or other remuneration in connection with or arising out of the use, occupancy, management, and operation of any Property.  Except as set forth in Schedule 5.18, there are no Material Agreements affecting any Property.

ARTICLE 7.                                

 

                                                                                                                                      COVENANTS

 

Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

 

Section 7.1.    Due on Sale and Encumbrance; Transfers of Interests.

 

(a)    Without the prior written consent of Lender and except as expressly provided below:

 

(i)    No Borrower Party nor any Person having an ownership or beneficial interest in a Borrower Party shall (A) consummate a Transfer, or (B) enter into any easement or other agreement granting rights in or restricting the use or development of the Collateral; and

 

(ii)    No new partners shall be admitted to or created in a Borrower Party (nor shall any existing partner withdraw from a Borrower Party); and

 

(iii)    No change in the day-to-day control and management of a Borrower Party, any Property or the Portfolio shall be implemented.

 

Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default in order to declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable upon a Transfer in violation of this Agreement.  This provision shall apply to every Transfer in violation of this Agreement regardless of whether such Transfer was voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has previously consented to any Transfer.

 

(b)    Notwithstanding the restrictions in Subsection 7.1(a), Permitted Transfers will be permitted without Lender’s prior consent.  Carveout Indemnitor (or any successor permitted under clause (a)(iii) of the definition of “Permitted Transfer” in Section 1.1) shall at all times, whether prior to or following the occurrence of any Permitted Transfer, be the sole general partner of each Individual Borrower.

 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall consent to a one-time transfer of title to the Portfolio and assumption of 100% of the Loan and the duties and obligations of Borrower and Carveout Indemnitor under the Loan Documents, subject to satisfaction of each and every one of the following conditions:

 

(i)    At least thirty (30) days prior to such assumption, Borrower Parties shall provide to Lender: (A) written notice (a “Assumption Request”) of the proposed transfer, (B) a work fee in the amount of $25,000.00 (the “Assumption Work Fee”), (C) the name(s), address(es) and organizational documents of the proposed purchaser and of the principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, of the proposed purchaser, (D) detailed and complete financial statements of the proposed purchaser and of the principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, of the proposed purchaser, (E) information with respect to the business and business experience of the proposed purchaser and its principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, and their experience in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Portfolio and other commercial real estate, (F) information on the proposed property management company and a copy of the proposed property management agreement, (G) the terms and conditions of the proposed sale and a copy of the executed purchase and sale agreement, (H) a description of the ownership structure of the proposed purchaser and each of its principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable, (I) the purchaser’s pro-forma operating and management plan for the Portfolio, and (J) promptly following Lender’s request, such other information as Lender may reasonably request to permit it to determine the creditworthiness and management abilities of the proposed purchaser and its principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable;

 

 

  

29

  

 

(ii)    Lender must approve, in the exercise of its discretion, the identity, creditworthiness, management abilities and all other attributes of the proposed purchaser and the proposed replacement Carveout Indemnitor(s), and their respective principals, affiliates and parent or other majority owners, as applicable;

 

(iii)    No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either as of the date of the Assumption Request or thereafter through the date of transfer of title to the Portfolio and assumption of the Loan;

 

(iv)    The Portfolio, as of the date of transfer and assumption and thereafter, must be managed by a management company approved by Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) under a management agreement satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) and otherwise satisfying the requirements of Section 7.10;

 

(v)    At the closing of any approved transfer and assumption, the proposed purchaser shall assume the duties and obligations of Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents (subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Article 10) pursuant to assumption documents in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment).  Additionally, at the time of the approved transfer and assumption, the proposed purchaser shall provide to Lender an environmental indemnity agreement from said purchaser and from another financially responsible Person acceptable to Lender (in its discretion) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (which form may be different from the form executed by Borrower Parties as a result of Lender’s updating its standard form of environmental indemnity agreement or as a result of specific environmental conditions at any Property) and a recourse carveout indemnity in substantially the same form as the Carveout Indemnity, also from a financially responsible Person acceptable to Lender (in its discretion).  Borrower Parties and the proposed purchaser and such other Persons as Lender shall require shall also deliver and, if applicable, execute (A) evidence of authority and entity existence, (B) Uniform Commercial Code, judgment and bankruptcy searches, (C) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, (D) an endorsement to the Title Policy updating the effective date to the date of the transfer, showing the purchaser as the owner of each Property, showing no additional title exceptions, except as shall be approved by Lender (in its discretion) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (E) opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender on such matters as Lender shall reasonably require, (F) evidence of insurance as required by Section 3.1, and (G) such other documents as Lender shall reasonably require in order to effectuate the transaction as contemplated by this Subsection (c);

 

(vi)    At the closing of any approved transfer and assumption, the proposed purchaser shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 3.4, deposit with Lender sufficient funds to pay when due all Impounds in accordance with the terms of Section 3.4.  To the extent the Loan Documents require any other reserves or deposits the same shall be established by the proposed purchaser prior to the date of closing of the approved transfer and assumption.  The foregoing requirement for deposits and reserves shall be enforced notwithstanding that any of the foregoing may have been waived by Lender with respect to Borrower Parties either in this Agreement, or in any side letter or agreement executed by Lender;

 

(vii)    At the closing of any approved transfer and assumption, Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the then outstanding balance of the Loan in immediately available funds (the “Assumption Fee”).  The obligation to pay the Assumption Fee is consideration to induce Lender to allow the proposed purchaser to assume the obligations of Borrower Parties’ under the Loan Documents and to release Borrower Parties from liability thereunder for all periods of time from and after the date of transfer in accordance with this Subsection (c); provided that in no event shall any Borrower Party be released from any liability accruing prior to the date of the transfer of the Portfolio pursuant to this Subsection (c), including acts or omissions leading to a violation of Environmental Laws (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement), whether known or unknown as of the closing of the approved transfer;

 

 

  

30

  

 

(viii)    The proposed transfer and assumption shall not cause a violation of any Legal Requirements governing any Property, the Loan, Borrower Parties, the proposed purchaser, any proposed replacement carveout indemnitor or any of their respective principals;

 

(ix)    Lender must confirm, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that as of the date of the proposed transfer of the Portfolio and assumption of the Loan, the Portfolio will generate (A) the lesser of (1) a Loan to Value Ratio of not more than sixty-five percent (65%), and (2) a Loan to Cost Ratio of not more than sixty-five percent (65%); and (B) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 125%, calculated for the 12-month period immediately following the proposed transfer of the Portfolio and assumption of the Loan (based on a fully amortizing 20-year schedule).  As used herein, “Loan to Value Ratio” means the ratio of (A) the outstanding balance of the Loan, compared to (B) the aggregate of the then “as is” value of the Portfolio, all as determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment.  As used herein, “Loan to Cost Ratio” means the ratio of (A) the outstanding balance of the Loan, compared to (B) the aggregate of the purchase price and other reasonable and customary closing costs, as approved by Lender in its discretion, paid by the proposed purchaser to acquire the Portfolio;

 

(x)    On the earlier of ten (10) days following demand by Lender or the closing of the approved transfer and assumption, Borrower Parties shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the proposed transfer of the Portfolio whether or not the transfer actually occurs, including attorneys’ fees, recording and filing charges, title company charges and the cost of the endorsement to the Title Policy.  The Assumption Work Fee shall be applied to reimburse Lender for its costs and expenses (with any excess after full payment of all of Lender’s costs and expenses being applied to the Assumption Fee or returned to Borrower Parties), but the Assumption Work Fee shall not be deemed to be a cap or limitation on the  obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender under this Subsection (c), regardless of whether such amounts exceed the Assumption Work Fee and/or Lender, in the exercise of its judgment, does not approve the proposed purchaser, any proposed replacement guarantor or any other aspect of the proposed transfer; and

 

(xi)    Lender shall have no obligation to review or process the request of Borrower Parties for approval of a proposed transfer of the Portfolio and assumption of the Loan until such time as Lender has received all of the items, including the Assumption Work Fee, required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Subsection (c).

 

(d)    Notwithstanding the restrictions in Subsection 7.1(a), Lender shall not withhold its consent to any pledge by Carveout Indemnitor of the general partnership interests in Borrower in order to secure so-called “mezzanine” financing subject to satisfaction (to be determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) of each and every one of the following conditions:

 

(i)      No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either as of the date of the request for Lender’s consent or thereafter through the date of the closing of such pledge and the proposed mezzanine financing;

 

(ii)      Lender must confirm (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) that following the closing of such pledge and the proposed mezzanine financing, Carveout Indemnitor shall have a Tangible Net Worth of not less than $100,000,000;

 

(iii)                      Each Borrower Party must deliver all information reasonably requested by Lender with respect to such pledge and the proposed mezzanine financing;

 

(iv)    Prior to Lender’s consent under this Subsection 7.1(d) becoming effective, Borrower must reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the mezzanine financing, including legal fees and expenses; and

 

(v)          At all times following the closing of such pledge and the proposed mezzanine financing, Carveout Indemnitor shall remain the sole general partner of each Individual Borrower and shall continue

 

 

  

31

  

to control the exercise of all rights, powers and privileges afforded to Carveout Indemnitor in its capacity as general partner under the applicable partnership agreements and other organizational documents and applicable laws, and no pledgee of Carveout Indemnitor’s general partnership interests in any Individual Borrower may take title to such general partnership interests or exercise any of the rights, powers and privileges afforded to Carveout Indemnitor in its capacity as general partner.

 

(e)    The prohibitions and restrictions set forth in this Article 7 shall not preclude: (i) any Borrower Party from granting liens that encumber real property other than the Collateral, or (ii) Carveout Indemnitor from providing indemnities or guaranties in favor of creditors other than Lender; it being agreed such actions may be effected without Lender’s consent.

 

Section 7.2.    Taxes; Charges.

 

(a)    Subject to the terms of Section 3.4, Borrower shall pay before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto, and shall not enter into any agreement to defer, any Taxes.  Borrower shall not suffer or permit the joint assessment of any Property with any other real or personal property not encumbered by the Mortgage.

 

(b)    Borrower shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, material suppliers, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in a Lien on any Property; provided, however, that Borrower Parties may contest the validity of such claims and demands so long as (i) the applicable Individual Borrower notifies Lender that it intends to contest such claim or demand, (ii) Borrower Parties provide Lender with an indemnity, bond or other security satisfactory to Lender (including an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against such claim or demand) assuring the discharge of the obligations of the applicable Individual Borrower for such claims and demands, including interest and penalties, and (iii) the applicable Individual Borrower is diligently contesting the same by appropriate legal proceedings in good faith and at its own expense and concludes such contest prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the earlier to occur of the Scheduled Maturity Date or the date on which such Property is scheduled to be sold for non-payment.

 

Section 7.3.    Alterations and Renovations.  Borrower Parties shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to any alterations or renovations to any of the Improvements; provided, however, that Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations or renovations that (i) are contemplated in connection with any Restoration, (ii) are permitted to be made by any Tenant under its Lease without the consent or approval of any Borrower Party, or (iii) will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of any Borrower Party, the value of the affected Property or the Net Operating Income of the affected Property, provided further that such alterations permitted under subsection (iii) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements relating to the affected Property, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements relating to the affected Property, or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements of the affected Property, and the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed the lesser of either: (A) ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the affected Property, or (B) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).  In connection with any request for approval relating to any alterations or renovations to any of the Improvements, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall notify Borrower whether Lender has approved any such request within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of all information reasonably requested by Lender to review any such request.  If Lender does not so notify Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of all such information and if no Event of Default exists, Lender’s approval of such request shall be deemed granted.

 

Section 7.4.    Operation; Maintenance.

 

(a)    Borrower shall not cause or permit any waste of any material portion of any Property.

 

(b)    Borrower shall observe and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to the ownership, use and operation of each Property and shall promptly commence a reasonable and good faith cure of any alleged violation of any Legal Requirements; provided that the applicable Individual Borrower may, upon providing Lender with security satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise of Lender’s reasonable judgment) and so long as during any contest the Collateral shall not be subject to any lien, charge, fine or other liability and shall not be in danger of 

 

 

  

32

  

 

being forfeited, lost or closed, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any such alleged violation of Legal Requirement.

 

(c)    Borrower shall maintain each Property in good condition and promptly repair any damage or casualty (subject to the terms of this Agreement).

 

(d)     Upon reasonable prior notice (except during the existence of an Event of Default, when no prior notice shall be required), Borrower Parties and any Property Manager (if any) shall provide Lender and its agents, representatives and contractors with access to each Property from time to time (subject to the rights of Tenants) for the purposes of conducting appraisals, engineering inspections and environmental assessments of such Property (provided that Lender must have a good faith belief that an Individual Borrower is not in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to physical condition of the subject Property and/or compliance with Legal Requirements (including Environmental Laws, as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) prior to the commencement of any post-Funding Date engineering inspection or environmental assessment or investigation with respect to that Property) and with access to Borrower’s home office for purposes of examining and copying the books and records relating to the Portfolio.  The costs relating to such activities shall be paid by Lender unless (i) Lender has a good faith basis for suspecting that an Individual Borrower is not in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to the physical condition of the subject Property and/or compliance with laws (including environmental laws), (ii) the examination of such books and records reveals that financial information submitted to Lender by Borrower Parties, Property Manager or anyone on behalf of Borrower Parties is materially inaccurate, or (iii) an Event of Default exists (or is discovered as a result of any such inspection or review), in which case the reasonable third party fees and expenses relating to such activities shall be paid by Borrower within the Demand Period.

 

(e)    All Operating Revenues shall be applied to Operating Expenses, Debt Service and reasonable and necessary capital expenditures or costs, and then, provided no Event of Default exists, to general operating purposes of Borrower, including distributions to members and/or partners of Borrower.

 

Section 7.5.    Taxes on Security.  Borrower shall pay all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies payable with respect to the Note or the Liens created or secured by the Loan Documents, other than income, franchise and doing business taxes imposed on Lender.  If there shall be enacted any law (a) deducting the Loan from the value of the Collateral for the purpose of taxation, (b) affecting any Lien on any Property, or (c) changing existing laws of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, or debts secured by real property, or changing the manner of collecting any such taxes, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days following demand, all taxes, costs and charges for which Lender is or may be liable as a result thereof; provided, however, that if any such payment would be prohibited by law or would render the Loan usurious, then instead of collecting such payment, Lender may declare all amounts owing under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable (provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to make payment of any Applicable Prepayment Fee otherwise applicable to prepayment tendered as a result of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 7.5).

 

Section 7.6.    Compliance with Loan Documents; Further Assurances.

 

(a)    Each Borrower Party shall observe, perform and satisfy in a timely manner all the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, duties and obligations required to be observed, performed or satisfied by them, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses required to be paid by them, under and pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)    Each Borrower Party shall promptly (i) cure, or cause to be cured, any defects in the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other documents, agreements and instruments as Lender may reasonably request to further evidence and more fully describe the collateral for the Obligations, to correct any omissions or errors in the Loan Documents, to perfect, protect or preserve any Liens created under any of the Loan Documents, or to make any recordings, file any notices, or obtain any consents, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.

 

 

  

33

  

 

(c)     No Borrower Party shall (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 9.1, or (ii) change its name, or (iii) change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Portfolio, unless in each instance Borrower Parties shall have given Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and shall have delivered to Lender all UCC financing statements and amendments thereto as Lender shall request and taken all other actions deemed necessary by Lender to continue its perfected first priority lien status in the Collateral.

 

Section 7.7.    Estoppel Certificates.  Borrower Parties, within twenty (20) days after request, shall furnish to Lender a written statement, duly acknowledged by an Authorized Representative of Borrower Parties, setting forth the amount due on the Loan, the terms of repayment of the Loan, the date to which interest has been paid, whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Loan and, if any are alleged to exist, the nature thereof in detail, and such other reasonable matters as Lender may request.

 

Section 7.8.    Notice of Certain Events.  Borrower Parties shall, within three (3) Business Days after gaining knowledge, notify Lender of (i) any Event of Default, together with a detailed statement of the steps being taken to cure such Event of Default (Lender having no obligation to accept any such cure of an Event of Default unless acceptance of a cure and reinstatement is mandatory under applicable law); (ii) any notice of any material default received by Borrower Parties under other obligations relating to any Property or otherwise material to Borrower’s business; and (iii) any threatened or pending legal, judicial or regulatory proceedings, including any dispute between a Borrower Party and any Governmental Authority, affecting a Borrower Party or any Property.

Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and actual expenses of Lender’s attorneys, in connection with (i) any inspection, review or testing of or with respect to any Property, (ii) any investigative, administrative, mediation, arbitration, or judicial proceeding, whether or not Lender is designated a party thereto, commenced or threatened at any time (including after the repayment of the Loan) in any way related to the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document or to any Property, (iii) any proceeding instituted by any Person claiming a Lien, and (iv) any brokerage commissions or finder’s fees claimed by any broker or other party in connection with the Loan, any Property, or any of the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents, including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Lender, except to the extent any of the foregoing is caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 7.10.                   Property Management.

 

(a)    Each Property has been, and as of the Funding Date will be, managed by Carveout Indemnitor.  If at any time any Individual Borrower wishes to engage a third-party property manager (including any Affiliate of Borrower) to manage the applicable Property, Borrower must request and receive Lender’s approval of such proposed property manager and the proposed management agreement (Lender’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to engaging such proposed property manager.  Lender may condition its approval of a proposed property manager and management agreement on such Individual Borrower’s and such proposed property manager’s execution and delivery of an assignment of management agreement and subordination of management fees in form and substance acceptable to Lender whereby, among other things, the proposed property manager agrees to subordinate payment of its management fees to the full and timely payment of the Obligations, and such Individual Borrower assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s rights under the proposed management agreement.

 

(b)    Borrower Parties shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of any Management Agreement on the part of Borrower Parties to be performed and observed and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder, and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following receipt, notify Lender of the giving of any notice by any Property Manager to Borrower Parties of any default by a Borrower Party in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Management Agreement on the part of a Borrower Party to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice.

 

(c)    Without the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld if no Event of Default exists), no Borrower Party shall (i) surrender any Management Agreement, (ii) consent to the

 

 

  

34

 

assignment by the Property Manager of its rights, duties or obligations under any Management Agreement, (iii) terminate or cancel any Management Agreement, or (iv) modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement, either orally or in writing.

 

(d)    Any change in ownership or control of any Property Manager shall be cause for Lender to re-approve such Property Manager and the applicable Management Agreement (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld if no Event of Default exists).

 

(e)    Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower in and under any Management Agreement (including the right to surrender any Management Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Management Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Management Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Management Agreement without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect).

 

(f)     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may require, upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Borrower, that Borrower select a Property Manager not affiliated with Borrower to manage each Property.  If a Property Manager is so required by Lender, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a Property Manager acceptable to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion), which Property Manager shall (i) be a reputable management company having at least ten (10) years’ experience in the management of properties substantially similar to each Property and in the jurisdiction in which each Property is located, (ii) not be paid management fees in excess of market fees, (iii) enter into a property management agreement in form and content acceptable to Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and (iv) enter into a subordination agreement with Lender in form and content reasonably required by Lender.

(b)    Borrower Parties shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender, that (i) no Borrower Party is an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) no Borrower Party is subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

(i)     As of the date Lender issues such Partial Release, no monetary Potential Default (which solely for the purposes of this provisions means a failure to make a payment of a liquidated sum of money on the due date thereof but for which the applicable grace period has yet to expire) then exists, and no Event of Default shall exist;

As used herein, “Loan to Value Ratio” means the ratio of (A) the then outstanding balance of the Loan,

 

 

  

36

                compared to (B) the aggregate of the then “as is” value of the Portfolio, all as determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment;

(ix)                Lender shall have confirmed in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that no Property remaining within the Portfolio will, following the issuance of the requested Partial Release, be adversely affected by such partial release because such remaining Property relied on the Property to be released for compliance with all Legal Requirements (including zoning, subdivision, shared parking, utilities, and/or access).

 

(b)    Upon approval of a requested Partial Release and satisfaction of the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.15, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower Parties the Partial Release.

(ii)                 Borrower shall not be entitled to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to approve: (A) a Collateral Substitution prior to October 1, 2009 or after October 1, 2017, and (B) Collateral Substitutions for more than two (2) Properties in any 12-month period;

(vi)                Lender shall have confirmed in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that the Loan to Value Ratio, calculated after giving effect to the closing of the Collateral Substitution, will not exceed the lesser of (1) 65%, or (2) the Loan to Value Ratio calculated immediately prior to giving effect to the 

 

 

  

37

closing of the Collateral Substitution.  As used herein, “Loan to Value Ratio” means the ratio of (A) the then outstanding balance of the Loan, compared to (B) theaggregate of the then “as is” value of the Portfolio, all as determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment;

 

(vii)               Borrower Parties shall have submitted a written request for the Collateral Substitution no less than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated consummation thereof, such request identifying the Property subject to the requested Collateral Substitution and the proposed substitute collateral therefor, and containing all other information reasonably requested by Lender in connection with its consideration of the request for the Collateral Substitution (said sixty (60) day review period commencing when Lender receives all information reasonably requested by Lender).  At the time of submission of such written request, Borrower Parties shall provide to Lender a work fee in the amount of $25,000.00 (the “Substitution Work Fee”);

 

(viii)              Borrower Parties must provide the same scope and quality of due diligence materials in connection with Lender’s consideration of the proposed Substitute Property as provided in connection with Lender’s underwriting and due diligence associated with the applicable Property for which substitute collateral is being provided (including title, survey, property condition, environmental and seismic reports, evidence of zoning compliance, evidence of insurance and tenant estoppels) and any additional materials then required as a result of changes to Lender’s standard underwriting or due diligence processes;

 

(ix)                 Lender must approve, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, all aspects of the proposed substitute collateral (the “Substitute Property”), including such factors as value, age, cash flow, quality, property condition, location, tenancy and other factors then included in Lender’s underwriting criteria;

(xi)                 If approved, Lender shall receive a collateral substitution fee in an amount equal to $25,000.00, payable concurrently with the consummation of the Collateral Substitution; and

 

(xii)                Lender shall have confirmed in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that no Property remaining within the Portfolio will, following the consummation of the Collateral Substitution, be adversely affected by such Collateral Substitution because such remaining Property relied on the Property to be released for compliance with all Legal Requirements (including zoning, subdivision, shared parking, utilities, and/or access).

Payment of costs and expenses must be tendered upon the earlier of consummation of the Collateral Substitution or within the Demand Period.  The Substitution Work Fee shall be applied to reimburse Lender for its costs and expenses (with any excess after full payment of all of Lender’s costs and expenses being applied to the collateral substitution fee of $25,000 or returned to Borrower Parties), but the Substitution Work Fee shall not be deemed to be a cap or limitation on the  obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender under this Section 7.16, regardless of whether such amounts exceed the Substitution Work Fee and/or Lender, in the exercise of its judgment, does not approve the requested Collateral Substitution.

 

(c)    If a proposed Collateral Substitution is approved by Lender, Borrower Parties shall, at their sole cost, execute and/or deliver: (i) all documents reasonably required by Lender, which documentation shall be in form comparable to the Loan Documents executed as of the date hereof and which shall include a modification and/or reaffirmation agreement covering the existing Loan Documents, a mortgage, deed of trust or other customary security instrument, an assignment of leases and rents, an assignment of property documents, an assignment of management agreement and subordination of management fees, an environmental indemnity agreement, a closing affidavit and Uniform Commercial Code financing statements; (ii) an ALTA (or equivalent) mortgagee title policy

(d)    Upon approval of the proposed Collateral Substitution and satisfaction of the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.16, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower Parties a partial release (in recordable form) of the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property for which substitute collateral is being provided.  Following the consummation of the Collateral Substitution, the Substitute Property shall be considered and deemed to be a “Property” and included within the “Portfolio” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.17.                   Excess Collateral.

 

(a)    Lender acknowledges that, as a result of Borrower’s inability to complete certain parcel splits in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements prior to the Funding Date, certain portions of certain Properties (as more particularly described on Schedule 2, collectively, the “Excess Collateral”) include Land and Improvements and other Collateral which is encumbered by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents solely because such Excess Collateral is included within the same tax parcel or lot of record as the portions of such Properties that are intended to constitute Collateral hereunder.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.17, Lender agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower a partial release instrument (in recordable form) of the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as to any portion of such Excess Collateral (each, an “Excess Collateral Release”), provided that in connection with each such Excess Collateral Release, each and every one of the following conditions are satisfied (to be determined by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment):

 

(i)                  As of the date Lender issues such Excess Collateral Release, no monetary Potential Default (which solely for the purposes of this provisions means a failure to make a payment of a liquidated sum of money on the due date thereof but for which the applicable grace period has yet to expire) then exists, and no Event of Default shall exist;

 

(ii)                 Borrower shall have submitted a written request for such Excess Collateral Release no less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated issuance thereof, such request (A) identifying the portion of the Property subject to such requested Excess Collateral Release, (B) to include an approved site or subdivision plan delineating the portion of the Property subject to such requested Excess Collateral Release and the portion of the Property to remain within the Portfolio, (C) all necessary easements and other agreements preserving all necessary rights associated with the Property to remain within the Portfolio, and (D) containing all other information required hereunder.  Such written request shall also include a certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Lender from an Authorized Representative of Borrower certifying that: (1) in connection with any subdivision of the applicable Property necessary to accommodate the subject Excess Collateral Release, Borrower Parties have complied with all Legal Requirements and obtained all approvals required under any Leases, Permitted Encumbrances, or other contracts or agreements applicable to such Property (said certification to include copies of all such approvals required pursuant to Legal Requirements, Leases, Permitted Encumbrances or other contracts or agreements applicable to such Property); (2) that the requested Excess Collateral Release does not violate any of the provisions of Leases, Permitted Encumbrances, or other contracts or agreements and that the purchaser or transferee has assumed all of Borrower Parties’ obligations, if any, relating to the portion of such Property subject to the Excess Collateral Release under such Leases, Permitted Encumbrances, or other contracts or agreements and Borrower Parties have been released from the payment or performance of any obligations thereunder thereafter arising; (3) that any subdivision necessary for the requested Excess Collateral Release shall not materially and adversely affect the utility, access, driveways, parking, drainage flows, operation or any other use of the remaining portion of the affected Property and the Improvements thereon in conformance with all Legal Requirements; and (4) no Tenants at the remaining portion of the affected Property will be relocated to the portion of such Property subject to the Excess Collateral Release (but the foregoing prohibition on the relocation of any Tenant shall not prohibit any Tenant from expanding into all or any portion of such Property subject to the Excess Collateral Release);

 

 

  

39

  

 

(iii)                Concurrently with Lender’s execution and delivery of each Excess Collateral Release, Lender must receive payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such Excess Collateral Release, including reasonable outside counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses; and

 

(iv)                Lender shall have confirmed in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that no Property remaining within the Portfolio will, following the issuance of the requested Excess Collateral Release, be adversely affected by such partial release because such remaining Property relied on the Property to be released for compliance with all Legal Requirements (including zoning, subdivision, shared parking, utilities and/or access).

 

(b)    Upon approval of a requested Excess Collateral Release and satisfaction of the terms and conditions specified in this Section 7.17, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower Parties the Excess Collateral Release.

(a)   Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, interest shall automatically begin to accrue at the Default Rate, and at the option of Lender (except in connection with any of the Events of Default described in Section 8.1(k) through (o), when acceleration is automatic), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, and Lender may exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity, all without written notice and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower Party for itself and all other Borrower Parties.

 

(b)   Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 8.1(k) through (o), interest shall automatically begin to accrue at the Default Rate, all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and Lender may exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity, all without written notice and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to 

 

 

  

42

  

 

accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower Party for itself and all other Borrower Parties.

 

Section 8.3.    Lender’s Right to Perform the Obligations.

 

(a)   If a Borrower Party shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents and such failure constitutes an Event of Default, then without notice to or demand upon any  Borrower Party or any other Person, and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower Parties, and shall have the right to enter upon any Property for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to such Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate.

 

(b)   If Lender shall elect to pay any sum due with reference to any Property, Lender may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title claim, Lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same.

 

(c)   Each Individual Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.3, including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Lender, except as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  All sums paid by Lender pursuant to this Section 8.3, and all other sums expended by Lender to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender prior to expiration of the Demand Period.  Any costs and expenses due and payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender, and if Borrower fails to reimburse Lender within the Demand Period, then Lender may, in its discretion, either (i) without additional notice to Borrower, add such amounts to the principal balance of the Obligations to accrue interest at the Contract Rate and be secured by the Loan Documents, or (ii) deem the failure by Borrower to make timely reimbursement as an Event of Default and continue to accrue interest at the Default Rate in connection with such unpaid amounts until repayment in full.

           Any communication so addressed and mailed shall be deemed to be given on the earliest of (1) when actually delivered or (2) on the first Business Day after deposit with an overnight air courier service, if such deposit is timely and appropriate in accordance with the requirements of such courier service for next business day delivery, in either case to the address of the intended addressee (except as otherwise provided in the Mortgage), and any communication so delivered in person shall be deemed to be given when receipted for by, or actually received by Lender or a Borrower Party, as the case may be.  Either party may designate a change of address within the United States of America by written notice to the other by giving at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such change of address.

 

Section 9.2.    Amendments and Waivers.  No purported amendment or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

 

Section 9.3.    Limitation on Interest.  Under no circumstances shall the aggregate amount paid or agreed to be paid as interest under the Loan Documents exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury law of the State or of any state in which any Property is located, and the payment obligations of Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents are hereby limited accordingly.  If under any circumstances, whether by reason of advancement or acceleration of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan or otherwise, the aggregate amounts paid on the Loan shall include amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed such highest lawful rate, Borrower Parties hereby stipulate that payment and collection of such excess amounts shall have been and will be deemed to have been the result of a mistake on the part of both Borrower Parties and Lender, and Lender shall, at its option, either return such excess to Borrower Parties or credit such excess against the principal balance of the Obligations then outstanding (without application of any Applicable Prepayment Fee), in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.

 

Section 9.4.    Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then (i) such provision shall automatically be deemed fully severable; (ii) the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; (iii) the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible so that said substitute provision is legal, valid and enforceable.

 

Section 9.5.    Payment and Reimbursement of Expenses.

 

(a)                 In addition to its reimbursement or payment obligations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, and prior to the expiration of any Demand Period, Borrower Parties shall pay to Lender or, at Lender’s option, shall reimburse Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and fees and expenses of appraisers and environmental professionals) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) intentionally omitted; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, 

 

 

 

  

44

  

 

execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters (including leasing matters) requested by Borrower Parties; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens and security interest in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting a Borrower Party, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Portfolio, or any other security given for the Obligations; and (vi) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower Parties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Portfolio or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

 

(b)                Any costs and expenses due and payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the applicable Demand Period until Lender receives payment in full.  If Borrower Parties fail to reimburse Lender prior to the expiration of the applicable Demand Period, then Lender may, in its discretion, either (i) without additional notice to Borrower Parties, add such amounts to the principal balance of the Obligations to accrue interest at the Contract Rate and be secured by the Loan Documents, or (ii) deem the failure of Borrower Parties to make timely reimbursement to be an Event of Default and continue to accrue interest at the Default Rate in connection with such unpaid amounts until repayment in full.

 

Section 9.6.    Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions.  All approval rights retained or exercised by Lender with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower Parties or any other Person.  This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Borrower Parties and Lender and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Borrower Parties and Lender. All conditions of the obligations of Lender hereunder, including Lender’s discretionary right to make protective advances pursuant to Sections 8.3 or 9.5, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make advances (if any) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time in Lender’s discretion.

 

Section 9.7.    Lender Not in Control; No Partnership.  None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of a Borrower Party, the power of Lender being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.  The relationship between Borrower Parties and Lender is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Lender and Borrower Parties or to create any equity in the Portfolio in Lender.  Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower Parties or to any other Person with respect to the Portfolio or the Loan, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (i) Lender is not, and shall not be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of a Borrower Party or its stockholders, members, or partners (as the case may be) and Lender does not intend to ever assume such status; (ii) Lender shall in no event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by a Borrower Party; and (iii) Lender shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of a Borrower Party or its stockholders, members, or partners (as the case may be).  Lender and Borrower Parties each disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Lender and a Borrower Party, or to create equity in the Portfolio in Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

 

Section 9.8.    Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each Borrower Parties’ obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

 

  

45

  

 

Section 9.9.    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender, Borrower Parties and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no Borrower Party shall, without the prior written consent of Lender (which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s discretion) or except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.1, assign any rights, duties or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

 

Section 9.10.              Servicing, Transfers, Assignments and Participations.

 

(a)    At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender from time to time and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and Servicer.  Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that Borrower Parties shall not be obligated to pay any servicing fee payable to the Servicer by Lender.  Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.  Provided Borrower Parties shall have been given notice of Servicer’s address by Lender, Borrower Parties shall deliver to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other instruments which Borrower Parties may or shall be required to deliver to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (and no delivery of such notices or other instruments by Borrower Parties shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).

 

(b)     Lender may at any time sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates, provided that Lender shall remain as the “lead” lender and primary contact for all required consents and approvals under the Loan Documents.  Lender may forward to any present, future or prospective purchaser, assignee, servicer, participant or investor (each, a “Transferee”), all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to any Borrower Party or the Portfolio, whether furnished by a Borrower Party, any Property Manager or any other Person, as Lender determines necessary or desirable; provided that Lender receives a reasonable undertaking from the applicable Transferee to maintain the confidential nature (if any) of such information. Each Borrower Party shall cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made pursuant to this Section 9.10, including the delivery of an estoppel certificate and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  Each Borrower Party shall also furnish, and hereby consents to Lender furnishing to such Transferee, any and all current or updated information concerning its financial condition and any and all information concerning the Portfolio as may be requested by Lender or any Transferee; provided that Lender receives a reasonable undertaking from the applicable Transferee to maintain the confidential nature (if any) of such information.  No exercise by Lender of any transfer rights pursuant hereto shall operate to release or diminish the duties, obligations or liabilities of any Borrower Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)    Without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, Lender shall have the right, in its discretion at any time after the Funding Date, to require Borrower Parties to split the Loan into one or more loans secured by the Portfolio (individually, a “Split Loan” and collectively, the “Split Loans”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all notes evidencing the Split Loans shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such split notes, (ii) the aggregate debt service payments on the Split Loans shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such Split Loans, and (iii) the other terms and provisions of the documents evidencing and/or securing the Split Loans shall be substantially similar in form and substance to the Loan Documents.  Borrower Parties, at no cost or expense to it, shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the Split Loans and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including modified and severed notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its discretion, release documents and any and all documents necessary to assign the Split Loans.

 

Section 9.11.              Replacement Documents.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other document(s) which is not of public record and, in the 

 

 

  

  

  

46

  

 

case of any such destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note or other document(s), Borrower Parties shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other document(s) in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

 

Section 9.12.              Renewal, Extension or Rearrangement.  All provisions of the Loan Documents shall apply with equal effect to each and all promissory notes and amendments thereof hereinafter executed which in whole or in part represent a renewal, extension, increase or rearrangement of the Loan.

 

Section 9.13.              Waivers.  No course of dealing on the part of Lender, its officers, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Lender with respect to exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy of Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

Section 9.14.              Cumulative Rights.  All rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

Section 9.15.              Exhibits and Schedules.  The exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated herein.

 

Section 9.16.              Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections.  All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or other divisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the exhibits hereto and thereto, are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles, sections, subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

Section 9.17.              Promotional Material.  Borrower Parties authorizes Lender to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities, and describing the Loan in general terms or in detail and Lender’s participation in the Loan.  All references to Lender contained in any press release, advertisement or promotional material issued by any Borrower Party must be approved in writing by Lender in advance of issuance.

 

Section 9.18.              Survival.  All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities made in this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or any other Loan Document shall survive the repayment in full of the Obligations and the release of the Liens evidencing or securing the Loan, and shall survive the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to all or any portion of the Collateral to any party.

 

Section 9.19.              Governing Law.  The Loan Documents are being executed and delivered, and are intended to be performed, in the State and the laws of the State and of the United States of America shall govern the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of the Loan Documents, except to the extent otherwise specified in any of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 9.20.              Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Lender and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

 

Section 9.21.              Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.

 

Section 9.22.              Obligations of Borrower, Joint and Several.  If more than one Person has executed this Agreement or any other Loan Document as “Borrower”, “Grantor” or “Assignor”, the obligations of all such Persons hereunder or thereunder shall be joint and several.

Section 9.23.              WAIVER OF PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  NEITHER LENDER NOR BORROWER PARTIES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO THE OTHERS OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF THE LOAN OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OR OTHER DEFAULT BY ANY PARTY HERETO.

 

Section 9.24.              WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH BORROWER PARTY AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE BY ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN OR THE COLLATERAL (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).  THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT.

 

ARTICLE 10.                                

 

                                                                                                                         LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

 

Section 10.1.              Limitation on Liability.

 

(a)    Subject to the qualifications and exceptions set forth below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligations of Borrower to perform and observe its duties and obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Borrower Party, provided that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, any Guaranty, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, further, that, subject to the qualifications and exceptions set forth below, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of its interest in the Collateral, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that subject to the qualifications and exceptions set forth below, it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any officer, director, manager, member or partner of Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents:

 

(i)    the provisions of Section 10.1(a) shall not:

 

(A)    Constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents;

 

(B)    Impair the right of Lender to name any Borrower Party as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage;

 

(C)    Affect the validity or enforceability of the Carveout Indemnity, affect the liability, duties and obligations of Carveout Indemnitor under the Carveout Indemnity, or affect any of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Carveout Indemnity;

 

(D)    Impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver or affect the validity or enforceability of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, affect the liability, duties and

 

 

  

48

  

                                obligations of any Borrower Party under the Assignment of Leases and Rents, or affect any of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Assignment of Leases and 

                                Rents;

 

(E)    Affect the validity or enforceability of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, affect the liability, duties and obligations of any Borrower Party under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, or limit the rights and remedies of Lender under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement; or

 

(F)    Constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower Party solely in order to satisfy procedural requirements necessary to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or under any other Loan Documents, or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; (and in no event shall any such deficiency judgment issued solely in order to satisfy procedural requirements be enforced against assets of any Borrower Party other than the Collateral) and

 

(ii)     Each Individual Borrower, jointly and severally, and jointly and severally with Carveout Indemnitor pursuant to the Carveout Indemnity, hereby agrees to indemnify and reimburse Lender, within the Demand Period (and nothing set forth in this Section 10.1 shall constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower Parties, by money judgment or otherwise), to the extent of any and all liabilities, costs, losses (including any reduction in value of any Property or any other Collateral or the loss of Lender’s security interest therein), damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and court costs, if any), or claims suffered or incurred by Lender by reason of or in connection with any of the following:

 

(A)    Any fraud committed by any Borrower Party in connection with the Loan;

(H)    Any Borrower Party contesting or in any way interfering with, directly or indirectly, any foreclosure action, Uniform Commercial Code sale and/or deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction commenced by Lender or with any other enforcement of Lender’s rights, power or remedies under any of the Loan Documents (whether by making any motion, bringing any counterclaim, claiming any defense, seeking any injunction or other restraint, commencing any action or otherwise) in connection with Lender’s rights arising from an Event of Default; provided, however, that if any Borrower Party obtains a final, non-appealable order successfully contesting the exercise by Lender of a right or remedy, then Borrower shall not have liability under this subparagraph (H);

(c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents: (i) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents; and (ii) the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event any Transfer occurs in violation of Section 7.1 (including the voluntary placement of a Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral in violation of the Loan Documents).

4.           Indemnified Rights/Cooperation and Access.  In the event that any Indemnified Party, based on a good faith determination, has reason to believe that Indemnitor is not in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to compliance with any Environmental Laws, then (subject to the rights of Tenants), any Indemnified Party may cause an engineer or consultant satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) to conduct an environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party) including taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials or any other testing requested by such Indemnified Party (in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party) and may deliver to the other Indemnified Parties and Indemnitor the results of any such assessment, audit, sampling or other testing.  All costs and expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 4 shall be paid by the Indemnified Parties unless (i) the Indemnified Parties have a good faith basis for suspecting that Indemnitor is not in material compliance with its warranties, covenants and agreements relating to compliance with Environmental Laws, or (ii) an Event of Default exists (or is discovered as a result of any such environmental assessment or audit), in which case the reasonable third party fees and expenses relating to such environmental assessment or audit shall be paid by Indemnitor within the Demand Period.  Indemnitor shall cooperate with and provide any Indemnified Party and any such person designated by such Indemnified Party with access to such Property, subject to the rights of Tenants. Indemnitor covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more of the following:  (a) any presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, above or under any Property; (b) any past, present or threatened Release in, on, above, under or from any Property; (c) any actual, proposed or threatened use, treatment, storage, holding, existence, disposition or other Release, generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation of any Hazardous Substances on any Property; (d) any actual or proposed Remediation at any time in, under, on or above any Property; (e) any past, present or threatened non-compliance or violations of any Environmental Laws (or permits issued pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection with any Property or operations thereon, including any failure by Indemnitor, any other Borrower Party, and/or any Tenant or other user of any Property to comply with any order of any Governmental Authority in connection with any Environmental Laws; (f) the imposition, recording or filing, or the threatened imposition, recording or filing, of any Environmental Lien encumbering any Property; (g) any administrative processes or proceedings or judicial proceedings in any way connected with any matter addressed in this Agreement concerning Hazardous Substances; (h) any past, present or threatened injury to, destruction of or loss of natural resources in any way connected with any Property, including costs to investigate and assess Losses; (i) any acts of Indemnitor, any other Borrower Party, and/or any Tenant or other user of any Property in arranging for disposal or treatment, or arranging with a transporter for transport for disposal or treatment, of Hazardous Substances directly or indirectly affecting any Property, at any facility or incineration vessel containing Hazardous Substances; (j) any acts of Indemnitor, any other Borrower Party, and/or any Tenant or other user of any Property in accepting any Hazardous Substances affecting such Property for transport to disposal or treatment facilities, incineration vessels or sites from which there is a Release, or a threatened Release of any Hazardous Substance which causes the incurrence of costs for Remediation; (k) any personal injury, wrongful death, or property or other damage arising under any statutory or common law or tort law theory, including damages assessed for private or public nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or near any Property; and (l) any misrepresentation set forth in this Agreement or the Loan Agreement or any breach or failure to perform any warranty, covenant or other obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note or the Mortgage concerning Hazardous Substances.  Nothing contained in this Section 4 shall be deemed to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Any Indemnified Party performing any environmental assessment or audit under this Agreement shall be responsible, at such Indemnified Party’s cost and expense, to promptly restore any applicable Property to the condition that existed prior to such environmental assessment or audit as a result of any damage caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 

5.           Duty to Defend and Attorneys and Other Fees and Expenses.  Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Indemnitor shall defend itself and Indemnified Parties (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) from and against any action, suit, claim, demand, dispute or proceeding (collectively, an “Enforcement Action”) arising or in any way connected, whether directly or indirectly, to any actual or alleged violation of the representations, warranties and covenants in Sections 2 and 3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) such Enforcement Action involves the possible imposition of criminal liability on the Indemnified Parties, (ii) the assumption or control by Indemnitor of the defense of such Enforcement Action, in the reasonable discretion of the Indemnified Parties, involves a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Parties with respect to such action or proceeding, or (iii) the Indemnitor or the attorneys engaged by Indemnitor have, in the reasonable determination of the Indemnified Parties, taken action or failed to take action which has prejudiced the defense of the Indemnified Parties or have failed to pursue with reasonable diligence such defense or the negotiation or settlement of such defense, then Indemnitor shall be responsible for all of the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Parties in respect of such defense of the Enforcement Action and shall pay on demand or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse the Indemnified Parties for payments made, for all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals engaged by and/or on behalf of Indemnified Parties.  Indemnitor may not compromise or settle any such Enforcement Action without the consent of Indemnitee (which consent may be issued or withheld in Indemnitee’s judgment) unless the claimant agrees as part of the compromise or settlement that the Indemnified Parties shall have no responsibility or liability for the payment or discharge of any amount agreed upon or other obligation to take any other action or any other exposure to liability to such claimant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and at the option of Indemnified Parties, if Indemnified Parties engage their own attorneys to defend them from and against, or assist them in, any Enforcement Action, such Indemnified Parties and their attorneys shall control the resolution of any Enforcement Action as to themselves, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Indemnitor's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Within the Demand Period, Indemnitor shall pay or, in the discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse the Indemnified Parties for payments made, for all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals engaged by and/or on behalf of Indemnified Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.

 

6.           Unimpaired Liability.  The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Indemnitor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.  In addition, the liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by (a) any extensions of time for performance required by the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) any sale or transfer of all or part of any Property, whether following foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise, (c) any exculpatory provision in the Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents otherwise limiting Indemnitee's recourse to any Property or to any other security for the Obligations, or limiting Indemnitee's rights to a deficiency judgment against Indemnitor, (d) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Indemnitor under the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by Indemnitor herein, (e) the release, waiver or discharge of any Indemnitor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or condition contained in any of the other Loan Documents by operation of law, Indemnitee's voluntary act, or otherwise, (f) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Obligations, (g) Indemnitee's failure to record the Mortgage or file any UCC financing statements (or Indemnitee's improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Obligations, (h) any exercise or non-exercise by Indemnitee of any right or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any Indemnitor or any Affiliate of any Indemnitor, or any action by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Indemnitor and with or without consideration.

 

7.           Enforcement.

 

(a)           Indemnified Parties may enforce the obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement without first resorting to, or exhausting any security or collateral under, or without first having recourse pursuant to, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents or any Property, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, provided, however, that nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Indemnitee from suing on the Note, foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale under, the Mortgage, or exercising any other rights and remedies thereunder.  This Agreement is not collateral or security for the Obligations, unless Indemnitee expressly elects in writing to make this Agreement additional collateral or security for the Obligations, which Indemnitee is entitled to do in its discretion.  It is not necessary for a Potential Default or an Event of Default to have occurred for Indemnified Parties to exercise their rights pursuant to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, the obligations pursuant to this Agreement are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation provision of the Loan Documents (including the terms and conditions set forth in Article 10 of the Loan Agreement) and Indemnitor is fully and personally liable for such obligations, and such liability is not limited to the original or amortized principal balance of the Loan or the value of any Property.

 

(b)           Without limiting any of the remedies provided in the Loan Documents, Indemnitor acknowledges and agrees that the provisions hereof are environmental provisions (as defined in Section 736(f)(2) of the California Code of Civil Procedure) made by Indemnitor relating to the real property security (the “Environmental Provisions”).  Indemnitor’s breach of or a failure to comply with the Environmental Provisions shall constitute a breach of contract entitling Indemnitee to all remedies provided under Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“Section 736”) for the recovery of damages and for the enforcement of the Environmental Provisions.  Pursuant to Section 736, Indemnitee’s action for recovery of damages or enforcement of the Environmental Provisions shall not constitute an action within the meaning of Section 726(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or constitute a money judgment for a deficiency or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure.  Other than the remedy provided under Section 736, all remedies provided for by the Loan Documents are separate and distinct causes of action that are not abrogated, modified, limited or otherwise affected by the remedies provided under Section 736(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

 

8.           Survival.  The obligations and liabilities of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage.

 

9.           Amounts Payable; Interest.  Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall become due and payable within the Demand Period, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until paid in full.  Wherever pursuant to this Agreement it is provided that Indemnitor pay any costs and expenses, such costs and expenses shall include legal fees and disbursements of Indemnified Parties and shall include reimbursements for the expenses of the in-house staff.

 

10.           Waivers.  Indemnitor hereby: (i) waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of Indemnitor's assets or to cause Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against Indemnitor; (ii) relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by law to indemnitors or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation which Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights including any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iii) waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iv) waives notice of acceptance hereof and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (v) waives presentment for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or other proof, or notice or demand; and (vi) waives all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Indemnitor hereby agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations until the Obligations shall have been fully and finally paid.

 

11.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INDEMNITOR AND INDEMNITEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OR ANY EXERCISE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN OR ANY PROPERTY (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).  THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR INDEMNITEE TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT.

 

12.           Subrogation.  Indemnitor shall take any and all reasonable actions, including institution of legal action against third parties, necessary or appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such persons responsible for the presence of any Hazardous Substances at, in, on, under, above or near any Property or otherwise obligated by law to bear the cost.  Indemnified Parties shall be and hereby are subrogated to all of Indemnitor's rights now or hereafter in such claims.

 

13.           Indemnitor's Representations and Warranties.  Each Indemnitor represents and warrants to and for the benefit of Indemnified Parties that:

 

(a)           it has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Indemnitor has been duly and validly authorized and all requisite action has been taken by Indemnitor to make this Agreement valid and binding upon Indemnitor, and enforceable in accordance with its terms;

 

(b)           its execution of, and compliance with, this Agreement is in the ordinary course of business of Indemnitor and will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter, by-laws, partnership or trust agreement, or other governing instrument of Indemnitor or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Indemnitor or any Property is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Indemnitor or any Property is subject;

 

(c)           there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, threatened against it which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Indemnitor, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of Indemnitor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Indemnitor contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of Indemnitor to perform under the terms of this Agreement;

 

(d)           it does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement;

 

(e)           no approval, authorization, order, license or consent of, or registration or filing with, any governmental authority or other person, and no approval, authorization or consent of any other party is required in connection with this Agreement; and

 

(f)           this Agreement constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of Indemnitor, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.

 

14.           No Waiver. No course of dealing on the part of any Indemnified Party, nor any failure or delay by any Indemnified Party with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

15.           Notice of Legal Actions.  Each party hereto shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, give written notice to the other party hereto of (a) any notice, advice or other communication from any Governmental Authority or any source whatsoever with respect to Hazardous Substances on, from or affecting any Property, and (b) any legal action brought against such party or related to any Property, with respect to which Indemnitor may have liability under this Agreement.  Such notice shall comply with the provisions of Section 18.

 

16.           Transfer of Loan.  Indemnitee may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates.  Indemnitee may forward to each Investor and each prospective Investor and any servicer, all documents and information which Indemnitee now has or may hereafter acquire relating to Indemnitor and any Property, whether furnished by Indemnitor, any guarantor or otherwise, as Indemnitee determines necessary or desirable.  Indemnitor agrees to cooperate, and agrees to cause any guarantor to cooperate, with Indemnitee in connection with any transfer made pursuant to this Section 16, including the delivery of an estoppel certificate and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Indemnitee.  Indemnitor shall also furnish, and Indemnitor hereby consents to Indemnitee furnishing to such Investors, such prospective Investors or any servicer, any and all information concerning the financial condition of Indemnitor and any and all information concerning each Property and the Leases as may be requested by Indemnitee, any servicer, any Investor or any prospective Investor in connection with any outsourcing of servicing, sale, transfer or participation interest.
