Any termination of the Commitments in full shall be subject to payment of any fees required by the Fee Letter.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Agent of any election to reduce or terminate the Commitments under Section 2.06(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective
25
date of such reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be irrevocable. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction in the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(d) So long as the Borrower is not then in Default, and the Borrower has not previously decreased the Commitments under Section 2.06(b), the Borrower may, at any time prior to the Termination Date, request that the Commitments be increased, so long as (a) each increase is in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $10,000,000 (or such smaller amounts as the Agent may approve), (b) the aggregate Commitments do not exceed $100,000,000 (the “Maximum Commitment”), and (c) the aggregate amount of all such increases do not exceed $60,000,000. If the Borrower requests that the total Commitments be increased pursuant to this Section 2.06(d), the Agent shall use its best efforts to obtain increased or additional commitments up to the Maximum Commitment, and to do so the Agent may obtain additional lenders of its choice (and approved by Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and without the necessity of approval from any of the Lenders. The Borrower and each other Credit Party shall execute an amendment to this Agreement, additional Notes and other documents as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence the increase of the Commitments and the admission of additional Persons as Lenders, if necessary.
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date. At the request of each Lender, the Loans made by such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note payable to such Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on the accounts prepared by Agent (in lieu of any accounts maintained by each Lender), and Agent agrees to provide Borrower with statements of such accounts following Borrower’s written request.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain
26
such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.08. Prepayment of Loans.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay, without penalty, any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.08(e), and subject to Section 2.13 and the Fee Letter, if applicable.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Beginning on the first Business Day following the last day of such calendar month that is three (3) full months after the first Borrowing, and on the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall apply (A) one hundred percent (100%) of the first Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) of the Net Proceeds of the Equity Issuances raised during such prior calendar month; and (B) fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds of the Equity Issuances in excess of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) raised during such prior calendar month to reduce outstandings under the Loans, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 5.13.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in clause (i) above, if at any time IIT REIT is not in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.13(a), Borrower shall apply one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds of any Equity Issuance raised during such prior calendar month beginning on the first Business Day following the last day of such calendar month that is three (3) full months after the first Borrowing, and thereafter on the first Business Day of each calendar month, to reduce outstandings under the Loans until such time as IIT REIT has complied with the requirements of Section 5.13(a).
(iii) Borrower shall apply one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds of any Property sales to reduce outstanding Loans. Borrower shall cause the Net Proceeds to be distributed by the Property owner to Borrower.
(iv) If at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the then effective aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the applicable Loans in an amount equal to such excess within one (1) Business Day after receiving written notice from the Agent of such occurrence.
(c) Breakage Fees. In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.13.
(d) Application of Prepayments. Amounts to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be applied, first, to reduce outstanding ABR Loans and next, to the extent of any remaining balance, to reduce outstanding Eurodollar Loans. Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders.
27
(e) Notice. The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.09. Fees.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender an unused fee, which shall accrue at 0.30% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender (the “Unused Fee”) during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to, but excluding, the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided, however, that the Unused Fee due to any Lender shall be pro rated for any days during such period when such Lender was a Delinquent Lender. Unused Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any Unused Fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and shall be based on the then existing Commitments of the Lenders.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, the Extension Fee at least 5 days prior to the Initial Maturity Date; provided, however, that if any Lender is a Delinquent Lender at the time the Extension Fee is paid, the portion due to any Delinquent Lender shall be held in escrow by Agent until either (i) such Delinquent Lender becomes a Non-Delinquent Lender (at which time the applicable portion of the Extension Fee shall be paid to such Lender) or (ii) such Delinquent Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.17 (at which time the applicable portion of the escrowed Extension Fee shall be returned to Borrower).
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the fee letters (including the Fee Letter) executed among the Borrower, KeyBank, Arranger and the Agent.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances unless pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
28
SECTION 2.10. Interest.
(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the lesser of (x) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, or (y) the Maximum Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) at the Borrower’s option, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate in effect for such Borrowing plus, in either case, the Applicable Rate, or (b) the Maximum Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, (which interest shall continue to apply even after a judgment is entered in lieu of any statutory interest due on a judgment amount) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the lesser of (x) 4% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.10, or (y) the Maximum Rate, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, the lesser of (x) 4% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.10(a), or (y) the Maximum Rate; and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Agent, or if the Agent is directed in writing by the Required Lenders to do so, the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (x) 4% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.10, or (y) the Maximum Rate.
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and twelve (12) 30-day months, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or Daily Floating LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Agent using its commercially reasonable efforts, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, or Daily Floating LIBOR Rate as applicable for such Interest Period; or
29
(b) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (if applicable) and (ii) such fact is generally applicable to its loans of this type to similar borrowers, as evidenced by a certification from such Lenders;
then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.
SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than one relating to Excluded Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, within fifteen (15) days of any written request by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, which amounts shall be determined by such Lender in its sole but reasonable judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation.
(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days of any written request by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such
30
reduction suffered, which amounts shall be determined by such Lender in its sole but reasonable judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan bearing interest based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(e)), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan bearing interest based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan bearing interest based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.14. Taxes.
31
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Upon request by the Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall promptly deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its main offices in Cleveland, Ohio, except that payments pursuant
32
to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. If the Agent receives a payment for the account of a Lender prior to 1:00 p.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, such payment must be delivered to the Lender on the same day and if it is not so delivered due to the fault of the Agent, the Agent shall pay to the Lender entitled to the payment interest thereon for each day after payment should have been received by the Lender pursuant hereto until the Lender receives payment, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Further, if there is no corresponding day for a payment in the given calendar month (i.e., there is no February 30th), the payment shall be due on the last Business Day of such calendar month. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, other than the assignment of or sale to the Borrower or to any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on
33
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or 2.15(d), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Each Lender will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Person to compensation pursuant to Sections 2.10 and 2.12 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, provided that such Person shall not be liable for the failure to provide such notice. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any such Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the amounts payable, including, without limitation, the designation of a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or the assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
34
SECTION 2.17. Delinquent Lenders. If for any reason any Lender is a Delinquent Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not in limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining Non-Delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its Pro Rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
The Non-Delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (a “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Agent and each Non-Delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Agent or by any Non-Delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
In connection with any Borrowing, in the event that (a) a Delinquent Lender fails to fund its pro rata share of any requested Borrowing and (b) one or more Non-Delinquent Lenders do not elect to acquire the Delinquent Lender’s right to fund such Loan, such that the Lenders advance less than the full amount requested by Borrower in such Borrowing Request (to the extent such full amount requested by Borrower has been approved by the Agent) (the Pro Rata share of the Delinquent Lender which is not advanced is referred to herein, as the “Shortfall Amount”), then the Borrower shall have the right to deduct, from the Net Proceeds otherwise deliverable to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.08(b) of this Agreement, an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, and notwithstanding whether the Borrower has deducted the full Shortfall Amount from the Net Proceeds as of such date, the Borrower’s right to deduct such Shortfall Amount from the Net Proceeds shall automatically terminate (without any further act by Agent or notice to Borrower required) and the Borrower shall immediately deliver any and all Net Proceeds to Agent for application to the repayment of the Obligations.

Prior to any Borrowing, IIT REIT shall have entered into an agreement (the “BFDS Letter Agreement”) with the Agent and Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) as transfer agent for the Equity Issuance. The Agent hereby acknowledges that the BFDS Letter Agreement is in form and substance acceptable to the Agent. IIT REIT agrees that so long as any Obligations are due and owing hereunder, IIT REIT shall not (i) have the authority to submit payment redirection instructions with respect to the Restricted Account, (ii) amend the agreement which governs the
44
Restricted Account, or (iii) substitute any other account in each case without the written consent of the Agent. BFDS shall remain as the transfer agent for the Equity Issuances unless the Agent otherwise consents in writing.
(b) Agent’s Obligations With Respect to Proceeds of Equity Issuances by IIT REIT. Following IIT REIT’s acceptance of a purchase of Equity Interests (a “Subscription”), the payments for such Equity Interests (the “Subscription Payments”) are automatically transferred by BFDS from the Restricted Account to a trust or escrow account of IIT REIT with the Depository (the “IIT REIT Trust Account”). So long as any Obligations are due and owing hereunder, IIT REIT shall not (i) have the authority to permit payment redirection orders with respect to the IIT REIT Trust Account, (ii) amend the agreement which governs the IIT REIT Trust Account, or (iii) substitute any other account for the IIT REIT Trust Account, in each case without the written consent of Agent. IIT REIT grants Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the IIT REIT Trust Account and all proceeds thereof pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement and on the date hereof shall have entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement (the “Control Agreement”) with the Agent and the Depository, which Control Agreement shall describe IIT REIT’s and the Agent’s rights in the IIT REIT Trust Account.
(c) Deposits After Event of Default. The Control Agreement shall direct the Depository to comply with instructions given by Agent with respect to the proceeds held by Depository after receipt by Depository of a notice from Agent. Agent will not send this notice unless it reasonably determines that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after taking into account all applicable notice and grace periods). In the event that the Agent directs the Depository, pursuant to the Control Agreement, to disburse all proceeds in accordance with its instructions, then the Borrower and IIT REIT shall comply with the terms and provisions thereof, and shall take such other actions, and execute any and all documents and agreements to further confirm the right of the Agent to direct disbursements of proceeds from Equity Issuances. The notice sent by Agent to the Depository (i) shall instruct the Depository to hold all funds (the “Held Funds”) in the IIT REIT Trust Account and not apply them to the Obligations until it has received a weekly report (as required in Section 5.01(f) above) except as stated in (iii) below, (ii) after Agent’s receipt of the weekly report by 12:00 pm (noon) (New York time), by 2:00 pm (New York time) on the next Business Day following the date that the Agent receives the weekly report by 12:00 pm (noon) (New York time) of such day (or on the following Business Day if such report is received after 12:00 pm (noon) (New York time)), Agent shall use its best efforts to instruct the Depository to allow IIT REIT to retain from the Held Funds the amount of required shareholder adjustments, Base Selling Costs then due, and Required Distribution (after considering other anticipated sources of liquidity for the payment of such Required Distribution including without limitation prior amounts withheld), (iii) if a weekly report is not received by Wednesday of the next week or if there is any balance in the Held Funds as of that Wednesday, net of amounts permitted to be released pursuant to subsection (ii) above, then Agent shall instruct the Depository to wire any amounts in the IIT REIT Trust Account from the funds received during the prior week to Agent for application to the Obligations. In the event that the proceeds exceed the total of all amounts due and owing under the Obligations, then the Agent shall instruct the Depository to promptly release such excess amounts to the Borrower. At all times during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to instruct the
45
Depository to direct Subscription Payments directly to Agent if Agent determines using its reasonable discretion that it should have direct control over the Subscription Payments. If Agent makes the determination set forth in the foregoing sentence, proceeds received from the purchase of Subscriptions shall continue to be used for the payment of required shareholder adjustments, Base Selling Costs then due, and Required Distributions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except that Agent shall use its best efforts to disburse such amounts from a KeyBank account to the IIT REIT Trust Account on or prior to 2:00 pm (New York time) on the next Business Day following the date that the Agent receives the weekly report by 12:00 pm (noon) (New York time) of such day (or on the following Business Day if such report is received after 12:00 pm (noon) (New York time)).
(d) Termination. After the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Agent shall promptly notify BFDS to cancel the BFDS Letter Agreement and Depository to cancel the Control Agreement.

Other than arrangements and contracts in existence as of the Effective Date and listed on Exhibit E attached hereto, provided such arrangements and contracts may be renewed, extended, amended, supplemented, modified, restated, and replaced in substantially the same form, Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates, except (a) in the ordinary course of business at prices and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties, (b) transactions between or among the Borrower and its wholly owned Subsidiaries not involving any other Affiliate; provided that any such transaction, the primary purpose of which is for Borrower and its wholly owned Subsidiaries to pass through payments from a third party of certain fees and promotes to such Affiliate, shall not be prohibilited by this Section, (c) any Restricted Payment permitted by Section 6.05, and (d) as consented to by Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
SECTION 6.07. [Intentionally Deleted].
SECTION 6.08. Restrictive Agreements. IIT REIT and the Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, enter into, incur or permit to exist any agreement or other arrangement that prohibits, restricts or imposes any condition upon (a) the ability of IIT REIT or the Borrower to create, incur or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its property or assets, or (b) the ability of any Subsidiary to pay dividends or other distributions with respect to any shares of its capital stock or to make or repay loans or advances to IIT REIT, the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or to Guarantee Indebtedness of IIT REIT, the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions imposed by law or by this Agreement or as otherwise approved by the Agent, (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of a Subsidiary pending such sale, provided such restrictions and conditions apply only to the Subsidiary that is to be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder, (iii) clauses (a) and (b) of the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness or Liens permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, including, but not limited to any Property Level Debt, (iv) clauses (a) and (b) of the foregoing shall not apply to customary provisions in leases restricting the assignment thereof, and (v) the JPMorgan Indebtedness, the Property Loans and the Property Loan Documents do not constitute Restrictive Agreements.
SECTION 6.09. Indebtedness. Neither IIT REIT nor the Borrower shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent, create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable, contingently or otherwise with respect to any Indebtedness on a direct or recourse basis, except:
48
(a) Indebtedness under this Agreement; (b) the JPMorgan Indebtedness; (c) other recourse and direct Indebtedness of IIT REIT and Borrower in an aggregate amount outstanding at any one time not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Total Asset Value (for avoidance of doubt, this subsection (c) excludes the Loans and the JPMorgan Indebtedness); and (d) any Indebtedness consisting of Non-Recourse Carveout Guarantees; provided, however, if and to the extent IIT REIT or Borrower is called on to make any payments under any of those guaranties, then such agreements shall thereafter no longer be included as an exclusion in this subsection (d).
SECTION 6.10. Management Fees. At any time that any Event of Default exists under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is continuing, no asset management, acquisition or other fees paid by Borrower or IIT REIT in excess of 6% per annum of the aggregate cost basis of all property owned by Borrower (or by a Subsidiary of Borrower or IIT REIT) shall be paid to Industrial Income Advisors LLC, the advisor to Borrower and IIT REIT, as provided in the Subordination Agreement. All such parties or any successor advisor shall execute subordination agreements in form and substance acceptable to the Agent which shall provide (a) that such fees may be paid so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, and (b) that all such fees in excess of 6% per annum of the aggregate cost basis of all property owned by Borrower (or by a Subsidiary of Borrower or IIT REIT) shall be expressly subordinate to the Loans.
SECTION 6.11. Sponsor Loans At any time that any Event of Default exists under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no payments on any loans made to IIT REIT, Borrower or a Subsidiary shall be paid to Sponsor or any Affiliate (the “Sponsor Group”) provided, however, IIT REIT, Borrower and any Subsidiaries shall be permitted to pay Base Selling Costs and loans related to Base Selling Costs. Any such loans by the Sponsor Group shall be subordinate to the Obligations; and at Agent’s reasonable request, the members of the Sponsor Group shall execute a subordination agreement with respect to such loans, which subordination agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the members of the Sponsor Group and Agent.

(h) any Credit Party shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (h) of this Article, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for such Person or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

then, and in every such event (other than an event described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take some or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, and (iii) exercise any other rights or remedies provided under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other right or remedy available by law or equity; and in case of any event described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In the event of conflicting instructions or notices given to the Borrower by the Agent and any Lender, the Borrower is hereby directed and shall rely conclusively on the instruction or notice given by the Agent.
The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.
The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. The Agent agrees that, in fulfilling its duties hereunder, it will use the same standard of care it utilizes in servicing loans for its own account.
52
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed by the Required Lenders in the event of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of Borrower (provided no Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent for its own behalf shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. The Agent shall cooperate with any successor Agent in fulfilling its duties hereunder.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given (i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified in this Section 9.01 and the appropriate confirmation is received (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day); (ii) if given by mail (return receipt requested), on the earlier of receipt or three (3) Business Days after such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid; or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received.
SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be
54
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase or reduce the Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder, (iii) extend the Maturity Date (except as provided in the definition of “Maturity Date”), or (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Lenders’ consent is requested under this Section 9.02(b), the Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days to respond to such request so long as such request bears the following legend at the top of the page “RESPONSE NEEDED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FROM RECEIPT OR REQUEST WILL BE DEEMED APPROVED”. If any Lender fails to respond within the foregoing ten Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any waivers, workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
55
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a court of law in a final non-appealable judgment, or the failure of the Indemnitee to make advances pursuant to its Commitment in breach of its obligations hereunder.
(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of its choice at its expense (in which case the Borrower shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnitee except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and the Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, provided, that if Indemnitee determines that counsel chosen by Borrower is not satisfactory, Indemnitee shall provide Borrower written notice thereof before Indemnitee hires its own counsel and Borrower shall have ten (10) days to negotiate with Indemnitee so that they can agree on counsel that is satisfactory to Borrower and Indemnitee but if no agreement is so reached, then Indemnitee may select the counsel; or (iv) the Borrower shall authorize in writing such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense. The Borrower will not be liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any claims or actions if the settlement is entered into without the Borrower’s consent, which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light of such claims or actions against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Indemnitee releases the Borrower from its indemnification obligations hereunder, such Indemnitee may assume the defense of any such action with respect to itself.
(d) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent under Section 9.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out
56
of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(f) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to the amounts claimed.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) So long as no Event of Default then exists, Borrower shall be notified in writing by Agent prior to any assignment or participation of a Commitment or Loan, and upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall promptly advise Agent within two (2) Business Days after such notice is given by Agent if such proposed assignee or participant is a Competitor. No non-public information shall be disclosed to any proposed assignee or participant prior to Borrower’s determination as to whether or not such proposed assignee or participant is a Competitor.
(c) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, an Eligible Assignee or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and provided further that Borrower’s consent shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld if the Borrower reasonably believes that the proposed assignee is a Competitor; and
(B) the Agent.
Provided, no consent of the Borrower or Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment to an entity acquiring, or merging with, a Lender.
(i) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
57
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person or a Competitor) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(c).
(iii) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
58
(iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, that, a “Participant” shall not include a Competitor; provided, further, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall not be increased and Borrower shall not incur any costs or expenses in connection with the selling of a participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(d), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.
(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in
59
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Joint and Several.
(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
(b) This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
(c) Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(d) Each Person constituting the Borrower shall be bound jointly and severally with one another to make, keep, observe and perform the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities imposed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon the “Borrower.”
(e) Borrower agrees that it shall never be entitled to be subrogated to any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights against any Credit Party or other Person or any collateral or offset rights held by the Agent or the Lenders for payment of the Loans until the full and final payment of the Loans and all other obligations incurred under the Loan Documents and final termination of the Lenders’ obligations, if any, to make further advances under this Agreement or to provide any other financial accommodations to any Credit Party. The value of the consideration received and to be received by Borrower is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of Borrower incurred or arising under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
60
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits of a Borrower (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any funds held by the Borrower on behalf of tenants or other third parties) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any other party hereto or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law:
(i) matters relating to the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of the liens on and security interests in assets situated in another jurisdiction(s), including by way of illustration, but not in limitation, actions for foreclosure, for injunctive relief, or for the appointment of a receiver, shall be governed by the laws of such state; and
(ii) Agent shall comply with applicable law in such state to the extent required by the law of such jurisdiction(s) in connection with the foreclosure of the security interests and liens created under the Pledge Agreement.
(c) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
61
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 9.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee (which is not a Competitor) of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower (that is not otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to the Credit Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is
62
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time there exists a maximum rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lenders in accordance with applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time the interest applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed such Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not payable as result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lenders in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by the Lenders. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Charges paid or received on the Loans produces a rate which exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders shall credit against the principal of the Loans (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the payor of such Charges) such portion of said Charges as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid on the Loans to produce a rate equal to the Maximum Rate. [All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holders of the Loans for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of this Agreement, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of this Agreement.] The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between the parties hereto. Without notice to the Borrower or any other person or entity, the Maximum Rate, if any, shall automatically fluctuate upward and downward as and in the amount by which such maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law fluctuates.
SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
SECTION 9.15. Additional Waivers and Agreements. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, it is the intention and agreement of each Credit Party and the Agent that the obligations of each Credit Party under the Loan Documents shall be valid and enforceable against each Credit Party to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document creating any obligation of a Credit Party in favor of any Lender shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and agreement of each Credit Party and Lender that any balance of the obligation
63
created by such provision and all other obligations of each Credit Party to Lenders created by other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain valid and enforceable. Likewise, if any sums which a Lender may be otherwise entitled to collect from a Credit Party under the Loan Documents shall be declared to be in excess of those permitted under any law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or like statute or rule of law) applicable to the Obligations and/or the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) of such Credit Party, it is the stated intention and agreement of such Credit Party and the Lenders that all sums not in excess of those permitted under such applicable law shall remain fully collectible by Lenders from such Credit Party and such excess sums shall nevertheless survive as a subordinate obligation of such Credit Party, junior in right to the claims of general unsecured creditors, but prior to the claims of equityholders in such Credit Party. This provision shall control every other provision of the Loan Documents.
