THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made this 20th day of April, 2010, but effective as of March 7, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between NNN VF FOUR RESOURCE SQUARE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), NNN 2003 VALUE FUND, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), and RAIT PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”).
RECITALS
A. Borrower and Lender entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated March 7, 2007 (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Lender made a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower in the original principal amount of Twenty-Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($23,000,000.00). The Loan is evidenced by that certain Promissory Note dated March 7, 2007 (“Note”), in the original principal amount of Twenty-Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($23,000,000.00). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.
B. Borrower and Guarantor have requested that Lender agree to amend the Loan Agreement in certain respects; and, in accordance with such request, Lender has agreed to amend the Loan Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. AMENDMENTS
1. Amendment to Section 1(d) of the Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date, Section 1(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(d) Principal Maturity. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan, including all accrued Interest and any and all amounts owing or to be owing by Borrower or any obligor under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising (the “Debt”), will be due on the Maturity Date (as hereafter defined). For purposes hereof, the “Maturity Date” means the earlier of (i) the Scheduled Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined); and (ii) the date on which the Debt becomes due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise. For purposes hereof, the “Scheduled Maturity Date” means November 30, 2010, unless and until Borrower exercises the Extension Option described in Section 1(f) hereof, in which case the final day of such extended term shall be the “Scheduled Maturity Date.””
2. Amendment to Section 1(f) of the Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date, Section 1(f) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(f) Extension. Borrower shall have one (1) option to extend the Scheduled Maturity Date for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Extension Option”). Borrower shall be entitled to exercise the Extension Option by providing Lender with written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Option (the “Extension Option Request”) no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the original Scheduled Maturity Date (as set forth in Section 1(d)), and provided that prior to the exercise of such Extension Option (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would result in an Event of Default, (ii) Borrower pays to Lender a fee (the “Extension Fee”) equal to 1.0% of the Loan Amount computed as of the Extended Term Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) for the Property is at least equal to 1.15:1.00 on the original Scheduled Maturity Date (as set forth in Section 1(d)). In the event that any of the conditions set forth in this Section 1(f) are not satisfied, then Borrower shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to exercise the Extension Option. Upon Borrower’s exercise of the Extension Option in compliance with the terms hereof, the original Scheduled Maturity Date shall be extended for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Extended Term”) and the term “Scheduled Maturity Date” shall be deemed to mean November 30, 2011. The Extended Term shall commence (the “Extended Term Commencement Date”) on the day immediately following the original Scheduled Maturity Date. All other terms of this Loan Agreement shall remain the same and be applicable to the Extended Term, except as expressly modified by this subsection. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if, on the date the Lender receives the Extension Option Request, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property is less than 1.15:1.00 and (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would result in an Event of Default, and (ii) Borrower pays to Lender a fee equal to 2.0% of the Loan Amount, then Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the option (but not the obligation) to extend the term for a period of one (1) year and the term “Scheduled Maturity Date” shall be deemed to mean November 30, 2011. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if, on the date Lender receives the Extension Option Request, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Property is less than 1.15:1.00, then Borrower shall have the option to make a partial prepayment of the Loan, without prepayment penalty, in an amount not to exceed the amount necessary to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.15:1.00 and Borrower may extend the Scheduled Maturity Date pursuant to the terms of this Section 1(f), provided that the Extension Fee owed by Borrower to Lender shall equal 1.0% multiplied by the Loan Amount (as reduced by the amount of any such partial prepayment).
As used herein, the term “Debt Service Coverage Ratio” shall mean, for the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of determination, the ratio of (A) Net Cash Flow generated by the Property to (B) the total required debt service payments owed by Borrower under the Loan for such period. “Net Cash Flow” means any and all operating revenues (to be determined by annualizing the rent roll from the Property) from the Property, less Operating Expenses. As used herein, the term “Operating Expenses” shall mean normalized trailing 12 month property expenses (as such may be reasonably determined by Lender), exclusive of actual expenditures or reserves as it relates to tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvements.”
3. Amendment to Section 18 of the Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date, the following provision shall be inserted as Section 18 of the Loan Agreement:
“18. Additional Covenants.
(a) Debt Service Coverage Ratio; Certain Actions. The Property shall at all times support a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in Section 1(f)) of 1.40:1.00 (the “DSCR Threshold”). Lender, in its sole discretion, may at any time reasonably determine the Debt Service Coverage Ratio. If, at any time, the Property fails to support a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than the DSCR Threshold (a “DSCR Trigger Event”), as reasonably determined by Lender, then Lender may (in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and without any obligation to do so) exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies (each separately, and collectively, the “DSCR Trigger Event Action”) for so long as any DSCR Trigger Event is continuing:
(i) Designate or select an exclusive leasing agent to lease all or any portion of the Property and/or engage and hire one or more leasing agents selected by Lender (in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) to lease all or any portion of the Property;
(ii) Enter into contracts with respect to any of the foregoing matters in subsection (i) above (including, without limitation, DSCR Trigger Event Documents (as hereinafter defined)), to contract with any party with respect to the leasing of all or any portion of the Property and/or to terminate any such contracts; and
(iii) Negotiate a leasing agreement between Borrower and a leasing agent satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to which Lender, as an agent of Borrower and named third party beneficiary to the leasing agreement, will have the agency and authority to make all decisions with respect to the leasing of all or any portion of the Property.
The rights and remedies set forth in subsections 18(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above are in addition to any and all rights and remedies conferred upon Lender by the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, or otherwise at law or in equity. In furtherance of the rights and remedies granted to Lender pursuant to subsections 18(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon request from Lender, Borrower shall promptly perform such acts and take such action as necessary to perform and/or accomplish the DSCR Trigger Event Action requested by Lender, and Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following Lender’s request) execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments, agreements and documents (including, without limitation, DSCR Trigger Event Documents), and do any and all other things necessary or appropriate to effectuate the DSCR Trigger Event Action requested by Lender. Failure by Borrower to comply with any of the covenants set forth in the preceding sentence shall, at the discretion of Lender, constitute an Event of Default (without any notice or cure periods) under the Loan Agreement at the discretion of Lender; provided that the occurrence of a DSCR Trigger Event, in and of itself, shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(b) Power of Attorney. Notwithstanding, and without limiting, anything in Section 18(a) above, in furtherance of the rights and remedies granted to Lender pursuant to subsections 18(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, in its name, place and stead to make, execute, acknowledge and, if necessary, to file and record any document, agreement or other instruments which may be required in good faith in order to perform and/or accomplish any DSCR Trigger Event Action, including, without limitation, leases, subleases, broker agreements, leasing commission agreements, termination agreements, any other instruments or documents relating to the leasing of the Property, and other contracts, documents, papers and instruments in writing of whatever kind and nature in connection with the performance and/or accomplishment of any DSCR Trigger Event Action (collectively, the “DSCR Trigger Event Documents”). The power of attorney granted hereunder shall be deemed irrevocable and be coupled with an interest.
(c) Protective Advances. All sums expended by Lender in accordance with this Section 18 shall be deemed to be advanced to Borrower on the date that such sums were expended and, at Lender’s discretion, (i) advances of Loan proceeds that accrue interest from the date that such sums were expended or (ii) protective advances, expended or incurred for the reasonable protection of the security interest hereby created in the Property and secured by the Deed of Trust; provided that any such protective advance made in connection with this Section 18 shall not constitute an Event of Default, nor cause the outstanding Debt, or any portion thereof, to accrue interest at the Default Rate.
4. Amendment to Section 22(n) of the Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date, the addresses set forth in Section 22(n) of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
