Such other information concerning Borrower, Guarantor, the Property, and the assets, business, financial condition, operations, property, prospects and results of operations of Borrower and Guarantor as Lender reasonably requests from time to time. In this regard, promptly upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender counterparts and/or conditional assignments as security of any and all construction contracts, receipted invoices, bills of sale, statements, conveyances and other agreements, documents and instruments of any nature relating to the Property or under which Borrower claims title to the Property.
2.8 Negative Pledge. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its creditworthiness and expertise in owning, managing and operating all of its assets, including without limitation the Property and any other real or personal property owned by Borrower (whether or not any such property is or will be encumbered by a Deed of Trust, financing statement, pledge agreement and/or security agreement in favor of Lender) are among the grounds upon which Lender has determined that it is protected against risk of default and, thereby, has agreed to make the Loan to Borrower. In order to ensure the continued creditworthiness and expertise of Borrower as the owner, manager and operator of said assets, and in order to grant Lender a continuing opportunity to review and evaluate the same, Borrower agrees that, except in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, none of Borrower’s assets shall be sold, agreed to be sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned, leased or subleased (other than to an affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor), disposed of, or further encumbered, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written
2298/028598-0006 6989442.5 a07/09/14 | 14 | |
consent of Lender. Borrower expressly agrees that any violation of the above restrictions shall constitute an Event of Default and shall cause the then outstanding principal balance and interest on the Note, as well as any other sums due and owing under the Loan Documents, at the option of Lender, to immediately become due and payable.
2.9 Guarantor Covenants. Borrower shall cause Guarantor to comply with the following covenants (it being acknowledged by Lender and Borrower that certain capitalized terms used below apply collectively to both Guarantor and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the meanings given them in either this Agreement or the Guarantor Credit Agreement, as applicable):
(a) The Asset Coverage Ratio shall not be less than or equal to 1.10 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Guarantor.
(b) As of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Guarantor, Guarantor shall not permit the ratio of (i) Consolidated EBITDAR for the period of four fiscal quarters ending on such day to the sum of (ii) Consolidated Interest Expense for such four quarter period plus Consolidated Rental Expense for such four quarter period to be less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00.
(c) Guarantor shall not make or become legally obligated to make any Capital Expenditure, except for Capital Expenditures made in compliance with the Guarantor Credit Agreement (or, if the Guarantor Credit Agreement has been terminated, compliance with the Guarantor Credit Agreement most recently in effect).
(d) Restricted Payments. Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, declare or make, or agree to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, except (a) Guarantor may declare and pay dividends with respect to its Equity Interests payable solely in additional shares of its common stock, (b) Subsidiaries may declare and pay dividends ratably with respect to their Equity Interests, (c) Guarantor may make Restricted Payments pursuant to and in accordance with share based compensation plans or other benefit plans for management or employees of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and (d) Guarantor may make or declare any other Restricted Payments so long as both before and after giving effect to the making and/or declaration of any such Restricted Payment, (i) Guarantor would be in compliance with the Guarantor financial covenants set forth in subsections 2.9(a) and 2.9(b) above on a pro forma basis and (ii) Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would have an aggregate amount of cash and unused borrowing availability under the Commitments of not less than (x) $150,000,000, in the case of any such Restricted Payment to be made in the calendar quarter ending March 31, June 30, or December 31 of any calendar year, and (y) $75,000,000, in the case of any such Restricted Payment to be made in the calendar quarter ending September 30 for any calendar year.
2.10 Compliance With Financial Covenants. Compliance with the financial covenants in the above–described Section 2.9 shall be evidenced by the annual and quarterly financial statements to be provided to Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower’s and Guarantor’s combined financial strength was a material consideration and inducement to Lender in Lender’s agreement to make the Loan to Borrower, and that any failure of Guarantor to meet the foregoing financial covenant requirements shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and under the Note and the Security Agreements. The annual and
2298/028598-0006 6989442.5 a07/09/14 | 15 | |
quarterly financial statements and Guarantor Officer’s Certificate shall include a reaffirmation of the financial representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in Section 2.9, duly executed by the reporting party. For the avoidance of doubt, Guarantor’s financial covenants, the manner in which each is determined, and Guarantor’s reporting requirement set forth in this Agreement shall exist and continue during the term of the Loan regardless of the existence or continuation of Guarantor’s Credit Agreement.
2.10.1 No Other Debts. Other than as approved by Lender in its sole discretion, there shall be no third–party debt on the Property or, other than trade debt or in connection with any Guarantor Credit Agreement, in Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not order appraisals of the Property more than one (1) time per year unless:

2.11.2 Borrower requests in writing that Lender order an appraisal of the Property, or

3.2.4 Borrower shall not change its name, identity, the state under which Borrower is registered and/or organized or Borrower’s principal place of business (if different than the state of organization) without the prior written consent of Lender; provided, however, Borrower may (a) change the state under which Borrower is organized so long as Borrower remains qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located, and (b) convert its form of entity from a limited liability company to a limited partnership or similar entity type, so long as Guarantor maintains direct or indirect management and ownership control of Borrower and, in either such event, provides Lender with prompt written notification of the same.
3.2.5 Borrower expressly authorizes Lender to file a financing statement, with or without Borrower’s signature, to perfect Lender’s first lien and security interest in the Personal Property (including any required continuation statements, amendment statements or other such documents necessary to perfect and continue said lien), and Borrower hereby expressly ratifies any financing statements Lender may have filed prior to the date of this Agreement.
3.3 Waiver of Rights. Borrower waives any right to require Lender to proceed first against any person or particular part of the Personal Property, or exhaust or pursue any particular remedy that may be available to Lender. Borrower waives any right of subrogation or other right to the benefit of, or any right to participate in, or direct the disposition of any of the Personal Property or any other security now or hereafter held by Lender.
3.4 Security Agreement; Fixture Filing. The Deed of Trust and this Section 3 shall constitute a security agreement under the California Uniform Commercial Code, and Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party thereunder. Pursuant to the foregoing terms and conditions, Borrower has granted to Lender a security interest in and to certain personal property, some of which may become fixtures of the Property. The Financing Statement referenced in Subsection 3.2.3 above and/or the Deed of Trust may be filed as a fixture filing.

(b) The specific Lot requested to be released is a separate legal parcel or parcels, and release of such Lot does not violate any applicable law regarding subdivisions, parcel maps, and the division of land into lots or parcels.
(c) Release of such Lot does not violate any requirements of any document of record covering such Lot.
(d) Lender shall have determined that following the release of such Lot, the access to the remainder of the Lots not being released shall be adequate for the proposed use of the remainder of the Lots.
(e) Borrower shall provide Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with such title insurance endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy as Lender shall request, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, which shall insure that after the release of such Lot, the Deed of Trust shall continue as a valid first position deed of trust against the remainder of the Lots covered thereby, subject only to such title exceptions as Lender shall have approved in writing.
(f) Borrower shall have paid, or cause to be paid, to Lender all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the release of such Lot, including without limitation all recording fees, transfer and other taxes, trustee’s fees, attorney’s fees, appraisal fees, escrow fees and fees for title insurance and similar charges.

(ii) if Borrower has requested a release of Lot 2, $8,690,000; or
(iii) if Borrower has requested a release of Lot 3, $3,397,000.
The Release Price, when received by Lender, shall be applied as a permanent reduction to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan.
(h) Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the proceeds used for the Release Price must have been obtained through a sale or refinance of the Lot requested to be released.
2298/028598-0006 6989442.5 a07/09/14 | 25 | |
(i) Lender shall have determined that the remaining unreleased Lots satisfy a Loan-to-Value Ratio (after giving effect to the Release Price) of at least seventy-five percent (75%). In connection with its determination of the Loan-to-Value Ratio, Lender shall have the right to have an Appraisal of the Property conducted at Borrower’s sole expense and with Borrower’s full cooperation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(g) above, in the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, Borrower further subdivides Lot 1 into two parcels, with each further subdivided parcel containing one of the two buildings located on Lot 1 as of the Closing Date, and provided such further subdivision is in a manner acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, the “Release Price” for each of the two further subdivided lots shall be $10,941,500.
