Lender agrees that its review and approval of the plans and specifications for such tenant improvements and such construction contract will be completed within the time period applicable to Borrower’s review and approval of such items under the terms of the applicable Lease, provided that Lender receives such plans and specifications concurrently with the delivery of such plans and specifications to Borrower.
Section 4.6 Unsatisfactory Work. If the Construction Consultant shall in its reasonable discretion determine that a portion of the Construction Work for which Loans are sought is Unsatisfactory Work, Lender shall be entitled to withhold from such Loans amounts sufficient to pay for correction of the Unsatisfactory Work and Lender shall disburse such amounts to Borrower promptly after such Unsatisfactory Work has been rectified. No such action by Lender shall be deemed to affect Borrower’s obligation to complete the Improvements on or before the Completion Date.
Section 4.7 Direct Loan Advances by Lender. Lender shall advance all or any part of any particular Building Loan to Borrower for disbursement in accordance with a Request, or during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may make such Loan Advances directly to the Construction Manager, a Major Contractor, other Contractor or other party any costs payable to such party, or at Borrower’s expense, to the Title Insurer which shall pay said monies to the parties as so instructed by Lender. In addition, Lender may make Advances as contemplated by Section 4 of the Completion Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by the Guarantor or Lender). The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization to Lender to make such direct advances provided for above and no further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances, and all such direct advances shall be secured by the Security Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by any party so paid. At Lender’s request, any advance of Building Loan proceeds made by and through the Title Insurer may be made pursuant to the provisions of a construction escrow agreement in the form then in use by such company with such modifications or amendments thereto as are reasonably required by Lender and Borrower. Borrower agrees to join as a party to such escrow agreement and to comply with the requirements set forth therein (which shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the requirements contained in this Agreement) and to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Title Insurer charged in connection with the performance of its duties under such construction escrow agreement.
Section 4.8 No Waiver or Approval by Reason of Loan Advances. The making of any Building Loans by Lender shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval by Lender (for the benefit of any Borrower or any third party) of the Construction Work or other work theretofore done or constructed or to the Lender’s obligations to make further Building Loans, nor, in the
ny-1258903 10
event any Borrower is unable to satisfy any condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as herein provided. Lender’s waiver of, or failure to enforce, any conditions to or requirements associated with any Building Loans in any one or more circumstances shall not constitute or imply a waiver of such conditions or requirements in any other circumstances.
Section 4.9 Construction Consultant. Lender reserves the right to employ the Construction Consultant and any other consultants necessary, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to review Requests for Loan Advance and inspect all construction and the periodic progress of the same, the reasonable cost therefor to be borne by Borrower as a loan expense. Borrower shall, to the extent in Borrower’s possession or control, make available to Lender and the Construction Consultant on reasonable notice during business hours and to the extent required by the Loan Documents, all documents and other information (including, without limitation, receipts, invoices, lien waivers and other supporting documentation to substantiate the costs to be paid with the proceeds of any Request) which any Contractor or other Person entitled to payment for Construction Work is required to deliver to Borrower and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any further documents or information reasonably requested by Lender or the Construction Consultant in connection with any Loan or the administration of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Construction Consultant shall have no responsibilities or duties to Borrower, and shall be employed solely for the benefit of Lender. No default of Borrower will be waived merely by an inspection by Lender or the Construction Consultant. In no event will any inspection by Lender or the Construction Consultant be a representation that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans and Specifications or that the Construction Work is free from defective materials or workmanship. Any and all provisions of this Agreement in respect of the Construction Consultant shall be enforceable solely by, and at the option of, Lender, and no Borrower shall be a third-party beneficiary thereof. Any and all reports, advice or other information provided by the Construction Consultant to Lender or otherwise produced by or in the possession of the Construction Consultant shall be confidential, except that Borrower shall have the right to reasonably request and review same from time to time.
Section 4.10 Authorization to Make Loan Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults. If an Event of Default shall be continuing, Lender (subject to the provisions of Section 14.3 of the Project Loan Agreement) may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements with respect to which the Event of Default relates. Any amounts expended by Lender in so doing shall constitute a Building Loan and be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loans, and Lender shall make the applicable Building Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from any Borrower is necessary for Lender to make such disbursements.
Section 4.11 Reserved.
Section 4.12 Lender’s Right to Make Loan Advances in Compliance with the Completion Guaranty. Any Building Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender as contemplated by Section 1.01(c) of the Completion Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by any Guarantor or Lender) shall constitute a Building Loan and be added to the outstanding
ny-1258903 11
principal balance of the Building Loans, and Lender shall make the applicable Building Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from any Borrower is necessary for Lender to make such disbursements.
Section 4.13 No Third-Party Benefit. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Lender and Borrower and, to the extent set forth in Completion Guaranty, Guarantors. All conditions of the obligations of Lender to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by Lender at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it advisable to do so, and no Person other than Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing to require Lender to make any Building Loan advances or shall be a beneficiary of this Agreement or any advances to be made hereunder.
