RECITALS
- The Borrowers are primarily engaged in the business of purchasing, owning, operating, leasing and managing retail properties.
- The REIT is qualified as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 of the Code.
- The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders make loans available to the Borrowers in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and that the Administrative Agent act as administrative agent for the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to do so.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
DEFINITIONS
THE CREDIT- Commitments; Reduction or Increase in Aggregate Commitment.
- Ratable Loans.
- Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin will vary from time to time based on the Value of the Unencumbered Pool and the Leverage Ratio. The Applicable Margins during each calendar month shall be determined on or before the fifteenth day of each month, based on information as of the end of the preceding month except that the Leverage Ratio will be determined only quarterly by the fifteenth day of the first month of the quarter, based on information as of the last day of the preceding quarter. Borrower shall provide all necessary information to the Administrative Agent in order for it to make such determination and if such information is not provided in a timely fashion then the highest Applicable Margins in the grids below shall be applicable until such information is provided. So long as the Value of the Unencumbered Pool is greater than $100,000,000 and the Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 55%, the ABR Applicable Margin shall be 0 basis points and the LIBOR Applicable Margin shall be determined in accordance with the following grid:

- As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders' interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders' interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (local time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid.

- Availability of Types of Advances.

- All payments by the Borrowers to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) 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 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrowers shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.
- In addition, the Borrowers hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note ("Other Taxes").
- The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
- Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
- For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.
- Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.
- If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrowers with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrowers participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused facility fee (the "Unused Fee") equal to an aggregate amount computed on a daily basis for such calendar year by multiplying the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such calendar quarter, expressed as a per diem rate, times the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the Loans on each day of such calendar quarter. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the last day of each calendar quarter and on the date the Obligations are repaid in full and the Commitments terminated.
The Borrowers agree to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Borrowers' letter agreement with the Administrative Agent of even date herewith.
Each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.
The Borrowers may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Advances without prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A Fixed Rate Advance may be paid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if and only if the Borrowers pay any amounts due to the Lenders under Sections 3.4 and 3.5 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day.
The Borrowers shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time. The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit I (i) not later than 1:00 p.m. Cleveland, Ohio time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance:
The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to the Lenders by facsimile of each Borrowing Notice and each Conversion/Continuation Notice not later than the close of business on the Business Day it is received. Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in Cleveland, Ohio to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), in the case of Floating Rate Advances which have been requested by a Borrowing Notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Borrowing Date, or (ii) noon (Cleveland, Ohio time) in the case of all other Advances. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrowers at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address.
No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than six (6) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any one time.
Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Fixed Rate Advances. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall continue as a Fixed Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrowers shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Advance either continue as a Fixed Rate Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Fixed Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of each conversion of an Advance to a Fixed Rate Advance or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:
Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a Fixed Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Fixed Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders.
Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrowers' obligations under such Note. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. The Borrowers agree to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrowers, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a Fixed Rate Advance. Upon a Lender's furnishing to Borrowers an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrowers shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.
Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.1 hereof. Interest and Unused Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.
Unless the Borrowers or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrowers.
The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to Borrowers) no Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any Fixed Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
The Borrowers shall have the right to an extension of the Facility Termination Date for six months by submitting a written notice to the Administrative Agent exercising such extension no more than 90 and no less than 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date. This six month extension (the "Extension Period") shall only be available if (i) no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) Borrower's representations and warranties are true in all material respects and (iii) the Borrowers pay on the date of Borrowers' exercise of the Extension Option the extension fee specified in a separate agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent, and promptly thereafter Administrative Agent agrees to pay each Lender the extension fee specified in a separate agreement between Administrative Agent and such Lender.
This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrowers be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrowers are at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the Borrowers shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrowers, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrowers, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If the Borrowers are required to so repay a Fixed Rate Advance, the Borrowers may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.
If any payment of a ratable Fixed Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable Fixed Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrowers for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrowers will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable Fixed Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. The parties hereto agree that although the calculation of the losses and costs due pursuant to this Section 3.4 will be based on the applicable Fixed Rate for the Fixed Rate Advance being repaid prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period, a change to the Applicable Margin pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a change to the applicable LIBOR Base Rate shall not constitute the payment of a ratable Fixed Rate Advance which would result in breakage costs under the terms of this Section 3.4.
To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Fixed Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrowers of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
The Lenders shall not be required to make the initial Advance hereunder unless (a) the Borrowers shall, prior to or concurrently with such initial Advance, have paid all fees due and payable to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder, and (b) the Borrowers shall have furnished to the Administrative Agent, with sufficient copies for the Lenders, the following:
The Lenders shall not be required to make any Advance unless on the applicable Borrowing Date:
Each Borrowing Notice with respect to each such Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that the conditions contained in Sections 4.2(i) and (ii) have been satisfied. Any Lender may require a duly completed Compliance Certificate in substantially the same form of the Certificate attached as Exhibit C.
The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Lenders that:
The REIT is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and the Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Illinois. Each of the Borrowers has its principal place of business in Oak Brook, Illinois and is duly qualified as a foreign entity, properly licensed (if required), in good standing and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrowers' Subsidiaries is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.
The Borrowers have the corporate or partnership, as the case may be, power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to perform their respective obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Borrowers of the Loan Documents and the performance of their obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any Borrower's or any Subsidiary's articles of incorporation, by-laws, or operating agreement, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such violation, conflict or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of a Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents other than the filing of a copy of this Agreement.
All consolidated financial statements of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the preparation date of such statements and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal and customary year-end adjustments. From the preparation date of the most recent financial statements delivered to the Lenders through the Agreement Execution Date, there was no change in the business, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto or as set forth in written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrowers have no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1 or as set forth in written notices to the Administrative Agent given from time to time after the Agreement Execution Date on or about the date such material contingent obligations are incurred.
Schedule 1 hereto contains, an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Borrowers, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or formation (if requested by the Administrative Agent) and the percentage of their respective capital stock or partnership or membership interest owned by the Borrowers or other Subsidiaries if it is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of such Subsidiaries that are corporations have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans do not in the aggregate exceed $1,000,000. Neither Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, neither Borrower nor any other members of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.
No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
The Borrowers have not used the proceeds of any Advance to buy or carry any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) in violation of the terms of this Agreement.
Neither of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness, which default would constitute a Default hereunder.
The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, except for any non-compliance which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable federal, state and local environmental, health and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could have a Material Adverse Effect.
On the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries will have good and marketable title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.16, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the financial statements as owned by it.
Neither of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Neither of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary is a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company", within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.
The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries carry insurance on their Projects with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar Projects in localities where the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries operate, including, without limitation:
The REIT is qualified as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 of the Code and currently is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions of the Code applicable to the qualification of the REIT as a real estate investment trust.
Each of the following representations and warranties is true and correct on and as of the Agreement Execution Date except as disclosed on Schedule 4 attached hereto and to the extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so true and correct, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:
During the term of this Agreement, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:
The Borrowers will maintain for the Consolidated Group a system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP, and furnish to the Lenders:
The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Advances to finance the Borrower's acquisition of Projects, for working capital, and for other lawful purposes in compliance with real estate investment fund requirements. The Borrowers will not, nor will they permit any Subsidiary to, use any of the proceeds of the Advances (i) to purchase or carry any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) if such usage could constitute a violation of Regulation U by any Lender, (ii) to fund any purchase of, or offer for, any Capital Stock of any Person, unless such Person has consented to such offer prior to any public announcements relating thereto, or (iii) to make any Acquisition other than a Permitted Acquisition.
The Borrowers will give, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to give, prompt notice in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default and of any other development, financial or otherwise (including the filing of material litigation), which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Borrowers will do, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to do, all things necessary to remain duly incorporated or duly qualified, validly existing and in good standing as a real estate investment trust, corporation, general partnership, limited partnership, or limited liability company, as the case may be, in its jurisdiction of incorporation/formation (except with respect to mergers permitted pursuant to Section 6.12 and Permitted Acquisitions) and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted and to carry on and conduct their businesses in substantially the same manner as they are presently conducted where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and, specifically, neither the Borrower nor its Subsidiaries may undertake any business other than the acquisition, development, ownership, management, operation and leasing of retail, office or industrial properties, and ancillary businesses specifically related to such types of properties. During the term of the Facility, at all times at least 95% of the Consolidated Group's Projects must be Projects which are wholly owned in fee simple.
The Borrowers will pay, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to pay, when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges and levies upon them of their income, profits or Projects, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside.
The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain insurance which is consistent with the representation contained in Section 5.17 on all their Property and the Borrowers will furnish to any Lender upon reasonable request full information as to the insurance carried.
The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which they may be subject, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep their respective Projects and Properties, reasonably necessary for the continuous operation of the Projects, in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, permit the Lenders upon reasonable notice, by their respective representatives and agents, to inspect any of the Projects, corporate books and financial records of the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries with officers thereof, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers at such reasonable times and intervals as the Lenders may designate.
The Borrowers shall at all times maintain its status as a real estate investment trust in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code relating to such status.
Provided there is no then-existing Default or (after notice thereof to Borrower) Unmatured Default hereunder, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be permitted to declare and pay dividends on their Capital Stock from time to time in amounts determined by Borrowers, provided, however, that in no event shall Borrowers declare or pay dividends on their Capital Stock (including distributions actually made with respect to gains on property sales) (i) if such dividends paid on account of the then-current fiscal quarter and the three immediately preceding fiscal quarters, would exceed 110% of Funds From Operations (adjusted to exclude from the calculation of Funds From Operations any non-cash charge to the income statement which reduces the cost basis of a Property) for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be permitted at all times to distribute (i) whatever amount of dividends is necessary to maintain its tax status as a real estate investment trust.
Each Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any merger (other than mergers in which such entity is the survivor and mergers of Subsidiaries (but not a Borrower) as part of transactions that are Permitted Acquisitions provided that following such merger the target entity becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower), consolidation, reorganization or liquidation or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a Substantial Portion of their Properties, except for (a) such transactions that occur between Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries or between Borrower and a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and (b) mergers solely to change the jurisdiction of organization of a Subsidiary, provided that, in any event, approval in advance by the Required Lenders shall be required for transfer or disposition in any quarter of assets with an aggregate value greater than 10% of Total Asset Value, or any merger resulting in an increase to the Total Asset Value of more than 25%. Regardless of whether approval of the Required Lenders is necessary, for any sale, merger, or transfer of any property or partnership interest which causes the aggregate value of such transactions in a single calendar quarter to exceed $50,000,000, Borrowers will give prior notice to the Administrative Agent and a pro-forma compliance certificate based on the results of such transaction demonstrating compliance with the covenants contained herein.
The Borrowers will not, nor will they permit any of their Subsidiaries to, sell or transfer a Substantial Portion of its Property in order to concurrently or subsequently lease such Property as lessee.
The Borrowers will not, nor will they permit any Subsidiary to, make or suffer to exist any Investments (including without limitation, loans and advances to, and other Investments in, Subsidiaries), or commitments therefor, or become or remain a partner in any partnership or joint venture, or to make any Acquisition of any Person, except:
provided that, after giving effect to such Acquisitions and Investments, Borrowers continues to comply with all its covenants herein. Acquisitions permitted pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall be deemed to be "Permitted Acquisitions".
The Borrowers will not, nor will it permit any of their Subsidiaries to, create, incur, or suffer to exist any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, except:
Liens permitted pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall be deemed to be "Permitted Liens".
The Borrowers will not, nor will they permit any of their Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase or sale of any Property or service) with, or make any payment or transfer to, any Affiliate except in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Borrowers' or such Subsidiary's business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Borrowers or such Subsidiary than the Borrowers or such Subsidiary would obtain in a comparable arms-length transaction.
The Borrowers will not enter into or remain liable upon, nor will they permit any Subsidiary to enter into or remain liable upon, any Financial Undertaking, except to the extent required to protect the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries against increases in interest payable by them under variable interest Indebtedness.
The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall not at any time permit the outstanding principal balance of Indebtedness which bears interest at an interest rate that is not fixed through the maturity date of such Indebtedness to exceed thirty percent (30%) of Total Asset Value (such limit being reduced to twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Asset Value during the Extension Period), unless all of such Indebtedness in excess of such amount is subject to a Rate Management Transaction approved by the Administrative Agent that effectively converts the interest rate on such excess to a fixed rate.
The Borrowers shall maintain a Consolidated Net Worth of not less than $821,679,808 plus eighty-five percent (85%) of the equity contributions or sales of treasury stock received by the Borrower after the Agreement Execution Date (provided that for this purpose, the required Consolidated Net Worth shall not be increased by the value of the Advisors or property management companies that may be acquired in exchange for the issuance of the stock in the REIT.

As used herein, economic occupancy shall mean occupancy by a tenant other than an Excluded Tenant or a tenant which is more than sixty (60) days delinquent in the payment of its rent, provided that space in a Project which is subject to a master lease obligation of the Seller of such Project may be included in the calculation of economic occupancy even though no tenant is in occupancy provided that the amount of square feet of master leased space in a Project that is included as economically occupied space, does not exceed 15% of the total space in such Project considered to be economically occupied.
The Borrowers agree not to enter any new debt agreements in excess of $50,000,000 per pool which would provide for cross-collateralization without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

If any Default described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrowers, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, so long as a Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon if the Required Lenders elected to accelerate (i) the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents.
If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to a Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement or waiver shall, without the consent of all Lenders:
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.
No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.
In the event of the insolvency of any Borrower, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make further disbursements of the Facility, and the outstanding principal balance of the Facility, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable.
All representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of the Notes and the making of the Loans herein contemplated.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.
Any taxes (excluding taxes on the overall net income of any Lender) or other similar assessments or charges made by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any.
Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior commitments, agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof.
The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.
The Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees for consultants and fees and reasonable expenses for attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the amendment, modification, and enforcement of the Loan Documents. The Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and reasonable expenses for attorneys for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any workout). The Borrowers further agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates, and their directors and officers against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and reasonable expenses for attorneys of the indemnified parties, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent, or any Lender is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Projects, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification therefor. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.
Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP.
Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, shall be solely that of borrowers and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrowers. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers' business or operations.
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWERS IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE BORROWERS AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
KeyBank National Association, is hereby appointed Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term "Administrative Agent," it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders' contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a "representative" of the Lenders within the meaning of the term "secured party" as defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.
The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) any determination by the Administrative Agent that compliance with any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) requires the Advances and Commitments hereunder to be classified as being part of a "highly leveraged transaction".
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection, or priority of any interest in any collateral security; or (vi) the financial condition of the Borrowers. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).
The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.
The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrowers and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative Agent's express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders which is not cured after written notice and within the period described in Section 10.3, The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries in which the Borrowers or such Subsidiaries are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Except as otherwise provided below, KeyBank National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative Agent during the term of this Facility. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from all other Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrowers or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.
If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent's good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request.
At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent. If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as "Senior Loans" for the purposes of this section). All amounts paid by the Borrowers and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by the Borrowers to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14. This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrowers to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrowers as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.
In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if either Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrowers may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 9.11 of this Agreement.
If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5.
Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.14 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address (or to counsel for such party) as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the case of telexes).
The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by telex or telephone, that it has taken such action.
(Remainder of page intentionally left blank.)
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
