On the Permitted Prepayment Date, and on any Business Day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may obtain the release of one or more Properties from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of the related Individual Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Individual Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Individual Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Properties subject to the Loan Documents not being released);

(k) Payment of the Adjusted Release Amount shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Note, and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be recalculated based upon (i) the unpaid principal balance effective as of the day following the next occurring Payment Date, (ii) the Interest Rate and (iii) an amortization period equal to the sum of 360 months minus the number of months elapsed from March 1, 2011 through and including either (A) the next occurring Payment Date if the Adjusted Release Amount is not applied to prepay the Loan on a Payment Date or (B) on the Payment Date the Adjusted Release Amount is applied to prepay the Loan if the Adjusted Release Amount is applied on a Payment Date.

Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any Individual Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of any Individual Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) the Management Agreement and (d) obligations under any Permitted Encumbrance.

 

4.1.6 Title.  Each Individual Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property and good title to the balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the applicable Individual Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan.  Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the

Properties which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.7 Solvency.  Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.  The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).  No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or Sun in the last seven (7) years, and none of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or Sun in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.  None of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or Sun are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of the assets or property of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or Sun, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or against Principal, Guarantor or Sun.

 

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially and adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, is likely to materially and adversely affect, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

 

4.1.9 No Plan Assets.  Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.  In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgages encumbering the Properties (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

 

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower and/or the Properties (and the Improvements thereon and the use thereof), including, without limitation, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy.

45

  

 

of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.  Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement.  After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or any Individual Property or Borrower is otherwise complying with the contested Legal Requirement during the pendency of any such proceeding; and (vi) if any such proceeding shall result in a Lien that is superior to the lien of the Mortgage or if any Individual Property shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

 

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges.  Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof before the same shall become delinquent; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of any Individual Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from such Individual Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of such Individual Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of such Individual Property.

 

5.2.8 [Intentionally Omitted].

 

5.2.9 ERISA.

 

(a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

 

(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (A) Borrower is not and does not maintain 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; (B) Borrower is not subject to any state statute regulating investment of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans and (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

 

(i) Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(b)(2);

 

 

  

57

  

 

(ii) Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(f)(2); or

5.2.10 Transfers.

 

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower, Guarantor and Sun in owning and operating properties such as any Individual Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of any Individual Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of any Individual Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of any Individual Property.

 

(b) Except for Permitted Transfers, Alternative Permitted Transfers described in Section 5.2.10(d) and a sale of the Property to the extent permitted under Section 5.2.10(e), without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party to do any of the following (collectively, a “Transfer”): (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party, other than pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to Tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20.  For the avoidance of doubt, prior notice to Lender and Lender’s consent shall not be required for any Permitted Transfer.

 

(c) A Transfer shall include, but not be limited to, (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space Tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation’s stock or the creation or issuance of new stock, although Permitted Transfers thereof are not restricted; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a general partner or the Sale or Pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of limited partnership interests or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited partnership interest or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests, although Permitted Transfers thereof are not restricted; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the Sale or Pledge of the membership interest of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) or any

 

 

  

58

  

 

profits or proceeds relating to such membership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing membership interests or the creation or issuance of new non-managing membership interests, although Permitted Transfers thereof are not restricted; (vi) if a Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the Sale or Pledge of the legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial interests, although Permitted Transfers thereof are not restricted; or (vii) the removal or the resignation of the managing agent (including, without limitation, an Affiliated Manager) other than in accordance with Section 5.1.22 hereof.

 

(d) In addition to Permitted Transfers which do not require notice to, or the consent of, Lender, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with one or a series of Transfers, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock, the limited partnership interests or non-managing membership interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party (an “Alternative Permitted Transfer”); provided, however, no such Alternative Permitted Transfer which does not otherwise qualify as a Permitted Transfer shall result in the change of Control in a Restricted Party, and as a condition to each such Alternative Permitted Transfer which does not otherwise qualify as a Permitted Transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed Alternative Permitted Transfer.  If after giving effect to any such Alternative Permitted Transfer which does not otherwise qualify as a Permitted Transfer, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in a Restricted Party are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such Restricted Party as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such Alternative Permitted Transfer, deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, at all times, (i) Guarantor must continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least a 99.5% legal and beneficial interest in each Individual Borrower and (ii) Sun must continue to Control Guarantor, each Principal and each Individual Borrower (through its ownership of each Principal), and own, directly or indirectly, at least a 51% legal and beneficial interest in Guarantor and a 100% legal and beneficial interest in each Principal.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer which qualifies as both a Permitted Transfer and Alternative Permitted Transfer shall be deemed to be a Permitted Transfer and not require prior notice to, or the consent of, Lender.  Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall provide to Lender a list of the direct owners of the limited partnership interests of Guarantor and, to the extent known or available to Borrower, the indirect owners of the limited partnership interests of Guarantor.

 

(e) No Transfer of the Property and assumption of the Loan shall occur during the period that is sixty (60) days prior to and sixty (60) days after a Securitization.  Otherwise, Lender’s consent to a Transfer of the Properties and assumption of the Loan shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that Lender receives sixty (60) days prior written notice of such Transfer and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and further provided that the following additional requirements are satisfied:

 

(i) Borrower or Transferee shall pay Lender a transfer fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the time of such transfer;

 

 

  

59

  

 

(ii) Borrower shall pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such Transfer (including, without limitation, Lender’s counsel fees and disbursements and all recording fees, title insurance premiums and mortgage and intangible taxes and the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies pursuant to clause (x) below);

 

(iii) The proposed transferee (the “Transferee”) or Transferee’s Principals must have demonstrated expertise in owning and operating properties similar in location, size, class and operation to the Properties, which expertise shall be reasonably determined by Lender;

 

(iv) Transferee and Transferee’s Principals shall, as of the date of such transfer, have an aggregate net worth and liquidity reasonably acceptable to Lender;

 

(v) Transferee, Transferee’s Principals and all other entities which may be owned or Controlled directly or indirectly by Transferee’s Principals (“Related Entities”) must not have been party to any bankruptcy proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act, or any act for the benefit of debtors within seven (7) years prior to the date of the proposed Transfer;

 

(vi) Transferee shall assume all of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents from and after the date of such Transfer in a manner satisfactory to Lender in all respects, including, without limitation, by entering into an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(vii) There shall be no material litigation or regulatory action pending or threatened against Transferee, Transferee’s Principals or Related Entities which is not reasonably acceptable to Lender;

 

(viii) Transferee, Transferee’s Principals and Related Entities shall not have defaulted under its or their obligations with respect to any other Indebtedness in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to Lender;

 

(ix) Transferee and Transferee’s Principals must be able to satisfy all the representations and covenants set forth in Sections 4.1.30, 4.1.35, 5.1.23 and 5.2.9 of this Agreement, no Default or Event of Default shall otherwise occur as a result of such Transfer, and Transferee and Transferee’s Principals shall deliver (A) all organizational documentation reasonably requested by Lender, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and (B) all certificates, agreements, covenants and legal opinions reasonably required by Lender;

 

(x) If required by Lender, Transferee shall be approved by the Rating Agencies selected by Lender, which approval, if required by Lender, shall take the form of a confirmation in writing from such Rating Agencies to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a requalification, reduction, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such assumption or transfer for the Securities or any class thereof issued in connection with a Securitization which are then outstanding;

 

 

  

60

  

 

(xi) Prior to any release of Guarantor, one (1) or more substitute guarantors reasonably acceptable to Lender shall have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity executed by Guarantor or execute a replacement guaranty and environmental indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Lender;

 

(xii) Borrower or Transferee shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the related Individual Property and naming the Transferee as owner of such Individual Property, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement, such Individual Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the Title Policy issued on the date hereof and the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

(xiii) Each Individual Property shall be managed by Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement; and

 

(xiv) Borrower or Transferee, at its sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting such Transfer satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.

 

Immediately upon a Transfer to such Transferee and the satisfaction of all of the above requirements, the named Borrower and Guarantor herein shall be released from all liability under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents accruing after such Transfer.  The foregoing release shall be effective upon the date of such Transfer, but Lender agrees to provide written evidence thereof reasonably requested by Borrower.

 

(f) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s Transfer without Lender’s consent in violation of the terms of this Agreement.  This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.

(i) comprehensive all risk “special form” insurance including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (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 a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of 

 

 

  

61

  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 $25,000.00 for all such insurance coverage; provided however with respect to windstorm and earthquake coverage, providing for a deductible satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, which permitted deductible shall in no event be greater than 5% of the insured value of each Individual Property, subject to a minimum deductible of $100,000.00 for each Individual Property located in Tier I Wind Areas and $25,000.00 for all other Properties and, with respect to flood insurance, providing for a deductible not to exceed $10,000; and (D)  if any of the Improvements or the use of the applicable Individual Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the full Replacement Cost, coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased costs of construction.  In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Release Amount with respect to such Improvements, or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available, with respect to such Improvements, under 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 such greater amount, not to exceed $5,000,000, as Lender shall require, and (z) earthquake insurance in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 in the event an Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity; provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);

 

 

(ii) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross revenues from the operation of the Properties (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) for a period of at least twelve (12) months after the date of the Casualty; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period.  The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period.  All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account for the applicable Individual Property at which such loss occurred; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

 

 

  

62

  

 

(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Individual Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the such Individual Property, (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions and (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $25,000 for such insurance coverage;

 

(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

 

(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate for property similar to the Individual Property located in or around the region in which such Individual Property is located; (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all written contracts and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available and (D) to provide for no deductible in excess of $10,000.00 for such insurance coverage;

 

(vi) automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00;

 

(vii) worker’s compensation and employee’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the applicable state;

 

(viii) umbrella and excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $50,000,000.00 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for employer liability and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile liability coverage in clause (vi) above;

 

(ix) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting

 

 

  

63

  

       

        from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Section 6.1(a) above at all times during the term of the Loan; and

 

(x) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Individual Property located in or around the region in which such Individual Property is located.

 

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, and the equivalent rating by Fitch, if Fitch is rating the Securities and rates the insurer, and the equivalent rating by Moody’s, if Moody’s is rating the Securities and rates the insurer, provided, however, Landmark American Insurance Company, rated “A:XII” with Best’s Insurance Reports, shall be deemed to be an acceptable insurance company provided that it maintains its “A:XII” rating and it does not increase its participation amounts with respect to the Policies or provide coverage under the Policies in a more primary position than what is currently provided.  The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee.  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

 

(c) Any property Policy may be written on a overall basis so long as the overall limit of coverage is not less than $60,000,000.00 and provided any blanket Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.

 

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

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

 

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which 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;

 

 

  

64

  

 

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

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

 

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f) 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, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g) Anything contained in this Section 6.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to only the commercial general liability insurance described in Section 6.1(a)(v) above, Lender shall permit a deductible in excess of $10,000.00 provided that (1) the amount of such deductible shall not exceed $250,000.00 and (2) if Borrower shall increase such deductible above $10,000.00, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in the stated amount equal to the sum of the amount of such deductible minus $10,000.00 (the “GL Deductible Difference”).  If Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 6.1(g), Lender shall have the right to draw the entire amount of such Letter of Credit in the event that any of the following events shall have occurred:

 

(i)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; or

 

(ii)           If (aa) Lender receives a Notice of Non-Extension and Borrower fails to provide Lender a replacement Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to any termination date, or (bb) the minimum long-term unsecured debt rating of the issuer of the Letter of Credit falls below AA/A2 (as issued by S&P and Moody’s).

 

If Lender draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 6.1(g)(i) above, Lender shall apply the funds as provided in this Agreement.  If Lender draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 6.1(g)(ii) above, funds received from such draw shall be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan; provided, however, if Borrower shall thereafter provide Lender a replacement Letter of Credit, Lender shall release to Borrower any such funds held by Lender resulting from such draw.  If Borrower shall deposit a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 6.1(g), such Letter of Credit (or cash resulting from a draw thereunder) shall be deemed to be Reserve Funds.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if, after delivering a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 6.1(g), Borrower shall reduce the deductible

 

 

  

65

  

 

 provided for in Section 6.1(a)(v) hereof to $10,000 or less, Lender shall release any such Letter of Credit (or cash resulting from a draw thereunder) to Borrower and Borrower shall have the further right to a reduction of the stated amount of any such Letter of Credit by the amount of any reduction in the GL Deductible Difference.

 

Section 6.2 Casualty.  If any Individual Property 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 and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of such Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof.  Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.  In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $250,000.00 and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

 

Section 6.3 Condemnation.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If any portion of any Individual Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof.  If the applicable Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of an Individual Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of such Individual Property), the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable

 

 

  

66

  

 

method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by the least of the following amounts:  (i) the net Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan to Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage.

 

Section 6.4 Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:

 

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $250,000.00 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $250,000.00, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i)(A), (B), (E), (F), (G), (I), (J), and (K) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $250,000.00 or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $250,000.00 Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4.

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(C) [Intentionally Omitted];

 

(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion.

 

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be

 

 

  

67

  

                                

                                incurred with respect to the Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

 

(F) 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) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;

 

(G) Lender shall be satisfied that the Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the related Individual Property or the Improvements;

 

(J) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Individual Property, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.2 to 1.0;

 

(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lender’s approval; and

 

(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of

 

 

  

68

  

     Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

 

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), which review and acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv) 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, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage.  The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed.  The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty 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 materialman.

 

 

  

69

  

 

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  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 on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii) After the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, (i) the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds deposited with Lender shall be delivered to Borrower, or, if a Cash Sweep Event has occurred and is continuing, deposited into the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency shall be delivered to Borrower, regardless of whether a Cash Sweet Event has occurred; provided, in each case, no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.

 

(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

ARTICLE VII - RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 7.1 Required Repairs. Each Borrower shall perform the repairs at its Individual Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”).  Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II.  It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II.

 

 

  

70

  

 

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

 

(a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the dates such Taxes and Other Charges become delinquent, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”).  Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the dates such Taxes and Other Charges become delinquent and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account, which interest shall be included with amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and held for the benefit of Borrower.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2(a) above, Borrower’s obligation to deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund the sums required to pay Insurance Premiums shall be suspended provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or exist under the Loan Documents; (ii) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Borrower has paid, when due, all Insurance Premiums; and (iii) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has a blanket insurance Policy that covers substantially all of the real property and improvements owned by Guarantor and its subsidiaries and that otherwise complies with Section 6.1 hereof.

 

Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter $16,779.17 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”).  Amounts so deposited shall

 

 

  

71

  

 

hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account at any given time shall not exceed $201,350.00 in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess.

 

7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.

 

(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements.  Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property or replacements of inventory.

 

(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.

 

(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made.  With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property.  Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts.  Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested.  Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

(d) Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) below, Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor,

 

 

  

72

  

 

supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account.  In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials.  Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

 

(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000.00, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

 

(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $10,000.00.

 

7.3.3 Performance of Replacements.

 

(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating.  Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

 

(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, if the cost of a Replacement, in the aggregate, exceeds $50,000.00, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in

 

 

  

73

  

 

connection with the Replacements.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

 

(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and, fifteen (15) days after notice from Lender to Borrower and Borrower's failure to cure during such period, to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage.  All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages.  For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower.  Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows:  (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements it is permitted to make pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c); (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall:  (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and

 

 

  

74

  

 

shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.  Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

 

(g) If the cost of any Replacement, in the aggregate, exceeds $50,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought.  Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account.  Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

 

(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

 

(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may, if the cost of any Replacement, in the aggregate, exceeds $50,000.00, require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to such Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage, Permitted  Encumbrances and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

 

(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement.  All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.  Certificates evidencing such insurance, and, upon request, certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

 

7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.

 

(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after

 

 

  

75

  

 

written notice from Lender.  Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

 

7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

7.3.6 Replacement Reserve Letter of Credit.

 

(a) In lieu of making the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit required by Section 7.3.1 above, Borrower may cause to be delivered to Lender an irrevocable, transferable letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to Lender, from a financial institution with a minimum long-term unsecured debt rating of AA/A2 or better issued by S&P and Moody’s in a stated amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Cap, with an “account party” other than the Borrower, with an initial termination date of no less than one year and providing for automatic extensions without further amendment for successive one-year periods unless at least sixty (60) days before any such termination date the issuer of the Letter of Credit gives written notice (as used in this Section 7.3.6, a “Notice of Non-Extension”) to Lender that the Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and providing that Borrower (and not Lender) shall pay any fee resulting from a transfer of the Letter of Credit by Lender.  Any Letter of Credit (including any renewal or extension thereof or replacement therefore) required by this Agreement shall comply with the requirements of this Section 7.3.6(a)  and shall be referred to as a ”Letter of Credit.”

 

(b) Lender shall have the right to draw the entire amount of the Letter of Credit required by this Section 7.3.6(a) in the event that any of the following events shall have occurred;

 

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; or

 

(ii) If (aa) Lender receives a Notice of Non-Extension and Borrower fails to provide Lender a replacement Letter of Credit with the terms and conditions as described in Section 7.3.6(a) above at least thirty (30) days prior to any termination date, or (bb) the minimum long-term unsecured debt rating of the issuer of the Letter of Credit falls below AA/A2 (as issued by S&P and Moody’s).

 

(c) If Lender draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.3.6(b)(i) above, Lender shall apply the funds as provided in this Agreement.  If Lender draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.3.6(b)(ii) above, funds received from such draw shall be held by Lender in the Replacement Reserve Account; provided, however, if Borrower shall thereafter

 

 

  

76

  

 

provide Lender a replacement Letter of Credit, Lender shall release to Borrower any such funds held by Lender resulting from such draw.

 

Section 7.4 If Borrower shall deposit cash or a Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.6.2(h) hereof, such funds or Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be Reserve Funds and such cash or Letter of Credit shall be held as additional security for the Loan and shall be released to Borrower after the Debt has been paid in full.

 

Section 7.5 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund.

 

7.5.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund.  From and after the occurrence of a DSCR Trigger Event (but prior to a DSCR Cure Event), Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account, which shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”.

 

7.5.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds.  Provided no other Cash Sweep Event has occurred, upon the occurrence of a DSCR Cure Event following the occurrence of a DSCR Trigger Event, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be disbursed to Borrower.  Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.

 

Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.

 

(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt.  Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

 

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

 

(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.  The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments as directed by Lender or Lender’s Servicer.  Unless expressly provided for in this Article VII, all interest on a Reserve Fund shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower.

Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

(x) if Borrower breaches any covenant contained in Section 4.1.30 or Section 4.1.39 hereof or any negative covenant contained in Section 5.2 hereof;

 

(xi) with respect to any term, covenant or provision set forth herein which specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period, if Borrower shall be in default under such term, covenant or condition after the giving of such notice or the expiration of such grace period;

(xv) if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not specified in subsections (i) to (xiv) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days; or

 

(xvi) if there shall be a default not specified in subsections (i) to (xiv) above under any of the other Loan Documents beyond the cure periods specified in subsection (xv) above, whether as to any Individual Borrower or any Individual Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such default, event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

 

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any or all of the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

Section 8.2 Remedies.

 

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to,

 

 

  

80

  

 

Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

 

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.  In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.

 

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or

 

 

  

81

  

 

filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.

 

Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

ARTICLE IX - SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1 Securitization.

 

9.1.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.

 

(a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).

 

(b) At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information relating to the Borrower, Guarantor, Sun and the Properties not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions relating to the Borrower, Guarantor, Sun and the Properties reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.  Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantors, if any, and the Properties.  Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan, Borrower, Guarantor, Sun and the Properties may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents.  Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor and their respective officers and

 

 

  

82

  

 

representatives, shall, at Lender’s request, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.  Borrower, Principal and Guarantor agree to review, at Lender’s written request in connection with the Securitization, the specific sections in the disclosure documents prepared in connection with a Securitization (the “Disclosure Documents”) to the extent such Disclosure Documents specifically describe or relate to Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Property and the Loan, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and shall confirm, that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(c) Borrower agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes Borrower shall not be required to modify (i) the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note, except that the weighted average interest rate may thereafter increase in connection with prepayments of the Loan by reason of casualty or condemnation or following an Event of Default, (ii) the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) the monthly amortization of principal of the Note based on a thirty (30) year amortization period, except that the monthly amortization amount may thereafter change in connection with prepayments of the Loan by reason of casualty or condemnation or following an Event of Default, (iv) any other economic term of the Loan other than a modification with only de-minimis effect, (v) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, (vi) the Release Amount for any Individual Property without Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (vii) any other term, covenant or condition of the Loan Documents that materially adversely impacts Borrower’s rights or increases Borrower’s obligations other than a de-minimis effect.  In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created component loans.

 

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(e) If requested by Lender and required in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any amendment, modification or replacement 

 

 

  

83

  

 

thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

 

9.1.2 Securitization Costs.  All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantors in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under Section 9.1(b) or (e) shall be paid by Borrower.  All reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantors in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under Section 9.1(c) (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.

 

Section 9.2 [Intentionally Omitted].

Subject to the qualifications below and except for the obligation of Guarantor as set forth in the Guaranty, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, Principal, any member, manager, partner, shareholder, officer or director of Borrower or its constituent partners or members (“Exculpated Parties”), except 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, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Exculpated Parties in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (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 Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgages; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Mortgages; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgages or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

85

  

        

                property manager upon the request of Lender made in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(xii) if applicable Legal Requirements relating to discontinuance or destruction when the use of a property is legal nonconforming shall prohibit that portion of the Individual Property known as Lake San Marino located in Naples, Florida, which is currently being used as a mobile home park, from being used as a mobile home park in the future as a result of a prior destruction or discontinuance of use.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) 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 Debt secured by the Mortgages or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Individual Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) any Individual Borrower or Principal filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against any Individual Borrower or Principal under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which such Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against such Individual Borrower or Principal from any Person; (c) any Individual Borrower or Principal filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) any Individual Borrower or Principal consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for such Individual Borrower or Principal or any portion of the Individual Property; (e) any Individual Borrower or Principal making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of principal and interest on the Note is not paid when due; (iii) if any Individual Borrower or Principal fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity or comply with any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 or Section 4.1.39 hereof and there is a substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of any such Individual Borrower or Principal with those of any Person other than Borrower or Principal; (iv) if Individual Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Individual Property; (v) if Individual Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer to the extent required by this Agreement or the Mortgages.

Section 10.7 Trial by Jury.  BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.

 

Section 10.8 Headings.  The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

 

Section 10.9 Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.10 Preferences.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

 

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case

 

 

  

91

  

 

where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages (other than those arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

 

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.  (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all  costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) to the extent provided for this Agreement, Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, 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 requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) 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 Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties (including, without limitation, any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or Event of Default) 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; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.  Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, if applicable.

 

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection

 

 

  

92

  

 

with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

 

(c) To the extent this Agreement or the other Loan Documents require, or permit Lender to require, approval, consent, waiver or confirmation from any Rating Agency, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

 

Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated.  The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon

 

 

  

93

  

 

or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

Section 10.17 Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in their sole discretion; provided, however, for so long as the shares of Sun are traded on any nationally recognized stock exchange, the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association shall not be required for any public disclosures that are required by applicable Legal Requirements to which Sun is subject.

 

Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim.  Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

 

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.  Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s

 

 

  

94

  

 

exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital (“Wells Fargo”).  Borrower acknowledges that on the Closing Date, Lender has paid to Wells Fargo a fee in the amount of $75,000.00 and Borrower agrees to pay to Wells Fargo any additional costs, fees and expenses (if any) of Wells Fargo in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

 

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.

 

Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.  Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;

 

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

 

(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and

 

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of any Individual Property).

 

 

  

95

  

 

 

The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

 

Section 10.25 Contributions and Waivers.

 

(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Individual Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and in consideration therefor each Individual Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 10.25 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each Individual Borrower in the event any payment is made by an Individual Borrower hereunder to Lender which is in excess of the amount attributable to that Individual Borrower or its portion of its Individual Property (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section 10.25, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any collateral of an Individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such collateral in satisfaction of such Individual Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).

 

(b) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Debt only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.

 

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among each Individual Borrower in the event that any Contribution is made by an Individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Debt, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 10.25.

 

(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of an Individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Borrower and its affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such Individual Borrower and (b) to the other Individual Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Individual Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their interest in one or more of the Properties to secure the Debt of such Individual Borrower to Lender.

 

(e) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Individual Borrower to the total amount of Debt, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Debt paid by such Funding Borrower, or (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the Individual Property of such Individual Borrower over the total liabilities of such Individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).

 

 

  

96

  

 

 

(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 10.25 above, that Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

 

(g) Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of such Individual Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.

 

(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an Individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.25 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of the Individual Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash.  Nothing contained in this Section 10.25 shall limit or affect in any way the obligations of any Individual Borrower to Lender under the Note or any other Loan Documents.

 

(i) Each Individual Borrower waives:

 

(A) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;

 

(B) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note and any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(C) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower;

 

(D) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;

 

(E) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;

 

 

  

97

  

 

(F) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind except as set forth in the Loan Documents;

 

(G) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition any collateral to any other Individual Borrower or to any other person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;

 

(H) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including, without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;

 

(I) any defense based upon any election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;

 

(J) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(K) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;

 

(L) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(M) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason;

 

(N) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; and

 

(O) any defense or benefit based upon an Individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Mortgage to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party.

 

(j) Each Individual Borrower waives:

 

(A) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Individual Borrower;

 

 

  

98

  

 

 

(B) all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property.  This means, among other things: (i) Lender may, subject to Section 9.3, collect from such Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (a) except as provided by applicable law, the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (b) Lender may, subject to Section 9.3, collect from such Individual Borrower even if any other Individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Individual Borrower.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and

 

(C) any claim or other right which Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

 

Section 10.26 Lender’s Right to Unwind Cross-Collateralization/Cross-Default.  Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time or in connection with a repurchase by Lender of any portion of the Loan in connection with a Securitization, to unilaterally require the release of any Individual Property or Individual Borrower from the cross-defaulting and the cross-collateralization provisions effected pursuant to the grant of the Mortgage from each Individual Borrower and secured by the lien of the applicable Mortgage.  Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in executing all documents as may be required in connection with splitting the Loan into two or more loans which shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other.  Borrower shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender or its designee any replacement or substitute loan agreements, promissory notes, security instruments and other loan documents, title, hazard and liability insurance policies, opinions of counsel and other documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request in order to effectuate the foregoing; provided, however, any such substitute loan agreements, promissory notes, security instruments and other loan documents shall be substantially similar, in form and substance, to the Loan Documents.  If, during the time Lender exercises its rights under this Section 10.26, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall reimburse Lender, upon demand, for all reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the foregoing.  If, during the time Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 10.26, an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall pay for all reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the foregoing.
