ARTICLE 3
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS; LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 Agreement to Lend and to Borrow; Notes.
(a) Subject to the conditions and upon the terms provided for in this Agreement, each Bank severally agrees to make Loans to Borrower on a revolving basis in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of the Commitment of such Bank indicated on Schedule 3.1 hereto. The Loans may from time to time be (i) LIBOR Loans, (ii) Base Rate Loans, or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by Borrower and notified to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. The Loans are revolving loans and principal amounts advanced by the Banks and repaid by Borrower may be reborrowed again from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, provided no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists and in no event shall (i) the principal amount outstanding at any time exceed the Borrowing Base Loan Amount or (ii) the outstanding Permitted Investment Advances exceed sixty percent (60%) of the Commitment Amount.
(b) The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by a Note of Borrower, substantially in the form of ExhibitA hereto, with appropriate insertions therein as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to the order of such Bank. The date, amount and type of each Loan and payment or prepayment of principal with respect thereto, each continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another type and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto shall be recorded by each Bank on its books and (prior to any transfer of its Note or, at the discretion of each Bank, at any other time) endorsed by each Bank, on the schedules annexed to and constituting a part of its Note. Each such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded in the absence of manifest error. The Note of each Bank shall (i) be dated the date hereof or, if a Bank’s interest is hereafter assigned, the effective date of such assignment, (ii) be stated to mature on the Maturity Date, and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Article 4 hereof.
(c) No portion of any Loan shall be funded with plan assets of (i) any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) any plan covered by Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) any government plan subject to state laws that are comparable to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
3.2 Increase in Commitment Amount. Subject to the terms of this Section, during the period expiring twenty-four (24) months after the Loan Opening Date, the Borrower shall have the right to request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitment Amount by providing written notice to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided that (a) the aggregate amount of such increases in the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section shall not exceed $70,000,000.00 (the “Available Increase Amount”); (b) Borrower may not exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 3.2 more than three (3) times; and (c) Borrower may not exercise its rights under this Section 3.2 if there are less than six (6) full months to the Maturity Date. Each such increase in the Commitment Amounts must be an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such request. Each existing Bank shall have the right to increase its Commitment by an amount so that such Bank’s Pro Rata Share shall not be decreased as a result of such requested increase in the Commitment. All other allocations of such requested increase shall be subject to the approval of the Agent. Each Bank shall notify the Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Bank’s notice whether such Bank wishes to increase the amount of its Commitment. If a Bank fails to deliver any such notice to the Bank within such time period, then such Bank shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Bank shall be required to increase its Commitment. As a condition to any increase in the Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent such fees as it may require in connection with the arrangement of such increase, and to the Bank acquiring such increase such fees as they may require in connection therewith, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. In the event a new Bank or Banks become a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Bank agrees to increase its Commitment, such Bank shall on the date it becomes a Bank hereunder (or increases its Commitment, in the case of an existing Bank) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Banks its Pro Rata Share (as determined after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Banks at the principal office, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans to be purchased by such Bank plus (b) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Banks under Section 3.6(f) of this Agreement which have not been repaid, and the Borrower shall pay to such other Banks interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans. The Borrower shall also pay to the Banks amounts payable, if any, to such Banks under Section 4.11 as a result of the prepayment of any such Loans. No increase of the Commitments may be effected under this Section if either (x) an Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Obligor in any Loan Document is not (or would not be) true or correct in all material respects on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date). In addition, as a condition to the effectiveness of any increase, the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Banks such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Instruments), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any mortgagee’s title insurance policy or any endorsement or update thereto or any updated title and UCC searches, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are demanded or payable in connection with such increase; provided, however, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to modify such Security Instruments if such Collateral Pool Property is subject to a mortgage recording tax nor shall the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor be required to increase the amount of any title policies covering any of the Collateral Pool Properties. In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section, (A) any Bank becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (B) the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that each new Bank, and any existing Bank increasing its Commitment, receives a new or replacement Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Bank’s Commitment contemporaneously with of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of Commitment Amount. Upon the effective date of the increase in the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 3.2, each Note being affected shall be amended and restated to reflect the new aggregate Commitment Amount.
3.3 Commitments Several. The failure of any Bank to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make any Loan to be made by such other Bank.
3.4 Certain Conditions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Bank shall have an obligation to make any Loan or to permit the continuation of or any conversion into any LIBOR Loan, and the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit, if an Event of Default or an event exists which, with notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default.
3.5 Purpose of Loans. The Loans shall be used to pay Acquisition Costs for Properties acquired by Borrower and, provided no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for any other lawful purposes.
3.6 Letter of Credit Procedures.
(a) The Issuing Bank will issue standby letters of credit, in each case containing such terms and conditions as are permitted by this Agreement and are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (each, a “Letter of Credit”), at the request of and for the account of Borrower from time to time before the date which is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date and as more fully set forth below; provided that the aggregate stated amount of all Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed $10,000,000.00. Each Bank agrees to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit. The Commitment amount available for disbursement shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
(b) The Borrower shall give notice to Agent and the Issuing Bank of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit on a Business Day which is at least three (3) Business Days (or such lesser number of days as Agent and the Issuing Bank shall agree in any particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice shall be accompanied by an L/C Application, duly executed by the Borrower and in all respects satisfactory to Agent and the Issuing Bank, together with such other documentation as Agent or the Issuing Bank may request in support thereof, it being understood that each L/C Application shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than thirty days prior to the Maturity Date) and whether such Letter of Credit is to be transferable in whole or in part. So long as the Issuing Bank has not received written notice that the conditions precedent for disbursements set forth in Article 7 have not been satisfied or waived in writing, the Issuing Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. The Issuing Bank shall promptly advise Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any L/C Application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Bank, and each other Bank shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such other Bank’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit and the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Issuing Bank’s “participation” therein. The Issuing Bank hereby agrees, upon request of Agent or any Bank, to deliver to Agent or such Bank a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, together with such information related thereto as Agent or such Bank may reasonably request.
(d) The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit honoring any demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder, within three (3) Business Days of the date that such payment or disbursement is made. Any amount not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement shall bear interest from the date of such payment or disbursement to the date that the Issuing Bank is reimbursed by the Borrower therefor, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of the Issuing Bank to so notify the Borrower shall not affect the rights of the Issuing Bank or the Banks in any manner whatsoever.
(e) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to the Borrower or any Bank other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall not impose upon the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower or any Bank and shall not reduce or impair the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 3.6(d) above or the obligations of the Banks pursuant to Section 3.6(f) below.
(f) If the Issuing Bank makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower has not reimbursed the Issuing Bank in full for such payment or disbursement by 11:00A.M., Chicago, Illinois time, on the date of such payment or disbursement, or if any reimbursement received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each other Bank shall be obligated to pay to Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, in full or partial payment of the purchase price of its participation in such Letter of Credit, its Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of the Borrower under Section 3.6(d)), and, upon notice from the Issuing Bank, Agent shall promptly notify each other Bank thereof. Each other Bank irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to Agent in immediately available funds for the Issuing Bank’s account the amount of such other Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such payment or disbursement. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made such amount available to Agent by 1:00 P.M., Chicago, Illinois time, on the Business Day on which such Bank receives notice from Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Bank agrees to pay interest on such amount to Agent for the Issuing Bank’s account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (i) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, and (ii) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect. Any Bank’s failure to make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent such other Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make available to Agent such other Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment or disbursement.
3.7 Letter of Credit Fees.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the account of each Bank a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank equal to the L/C Fee Rate in effect from time to time multiplied by such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (as adjusted from time to time) (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days); provided that the L/C Fee Rate shall be increased by four percent (4.00%) at any time that an Event of Default exists. Such letter of credit fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated) for the period from the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or the last day on which the letter of credit fee was paid with respect thereto) to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated.
(b) In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, (i) such fees and expenses as the Issuing Bank customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations and (ii) a letter of credit fronting fee in .125% of the face amount of each Letter of Credit such fee to be payable at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit.
3.8 Non-Use Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank a non-use fee, for the period from the Loan Closing Date to the Maturity Date, as the same may be extended, at the rate of 0.20% per annum of the average daily unused amount of the Commitment Amount in each calendar quarter and each portion thereof beginning with the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2007. For purposes of calculating usage under this Section, the Commitment Amount shall be deemed used to the extent of the sum of (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, plus (b) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Such non-use fee shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date for any period then ending for which such non-use fee shall not have previously been paid. The non-use fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.
ARTICLE 4
PRINCIPAL, INTEREST; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR LOANS
4.1 Interest Rates. Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full as follows:
(a) at all times while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect; and
(b) at all times while such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate (Reserve Adjusted) applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect;
provided that at any time an Event of Default exists, the interest rate applicable to each Loan shall be increased by four percent (4.00%) (the “Default Rate”). The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted as of the earlier of (i) the date Borrower is required to deliver each quarterly Compliance Certificate or (ii) the date such Compliance Certificate is delivered.
4.2 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(a) Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan and each LIBOR Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and at maturity. The outstanding principal balance on all Loans made by the Banks hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.
(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments and prepayments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to fees, expenses, costs and other similar amounts then due and payable to the Banks, (ii) second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Notes, (iii) third, to the payment of principal due in the month in which the payment or prepayment is made, if any, (iv) fourth, to any escrows, impounds or other amounts which may then be due and payable under the Loan Documents, (v) fifth, to any other amounts then due the Banks hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and (vi) last, to the unpaid principal balance of the Notes. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments shall be applied as required under applicable law and in the absence of any such requirements, payments may be applied to amounts owed hereunder and under the Loan Documents in such order as Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion.
(c) All payments of principal (including prepayments) and accrued interest shall be paid by wire transfer or check in United States Dollars, to Agent, for the account of the Banks, at such place as Agent may from time to time direct, and in the absence of such direction, then at the offices of Agent at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. Payment made by check shall be deemed paid on the date Agent receives such check; provided, however, that if such check is subsequently returned to Agent unpaid due to insufficient funds or otherwise, the payment shall not be deemed to have been made and shall continue to bear interest until collected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment due under the Notes must be made by wire transfer or other immediately available funds.
(d) If any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within five days after such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof (other than upon accelaration or on the Maturity Date), then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, Borrower shall pay to Agent a “late charge” of five cents for each whole dollar so overdue to defray part of the cost of collection and handling such late payment. Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the holder hereof for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of five cents for each one dollar due is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.
(e) Base Rate Loans may be prepaid either in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon one (1) Business Day prior notice to Agent. LIBOR Loans may be prepaid either in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Agent; provided, however, that if a LIBOR Loan is prepaid on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, it shall be accompanied by any amounts due under Section 4.11 hereof.
4.3 Various Types of Loans; Setting and Notice of LIBOR Rates.
(a) Each Loan shall be divided into tranches which are either a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan (each a “type” of Loan), as Borrower shall specify in the Request For Advance pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at the same time, provided that not more than eight (8) different tranches of LIBOR Loans shall be outstanding at any one time. All borrowings, conversions and repayments of Loans shall be effected so that each Bank will have a pro rata share (according to its Pro Rata Share) of all Loans. Each LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate initial amount of at least Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00).
(b) The applicable LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Agent, and notice thereof shall be given by the Agent promptly to Borrower and each Bank. The Agent shall, upon written request of Borrower or any Bank, deliver to Borrower or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining any applicable LIBOR Rate hereunder.
4.4 Conversion and Continuation Procedures.
(a) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior irrevocable written notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M. Chicago, Illinois time, provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or shall be subject to payment of all applicable breakage costs under Section 4.11 if paid prior thereto. Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving Agent at least three Business Days prior irrevocable written notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to LIBOR Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such written notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. All or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent has or the Required Banks have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate, and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.
(b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by Borrower giving notice to Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent has or the Required Banks have determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date and provided, further, that if Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
4.5 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Fees and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed in any portion of a month in which interest is due. Interest on Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate, or the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage, shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.
4.6 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (a) Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that (i) United States dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the Interest Period for funding any LIBOR Loan are not available in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate to be applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan, or (b) Agent shall have received notice from the Required Banks that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and Banks as soon as practicable thereafter and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (A) no Bank shall be under any obligation to make any LIBOR Loans or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, and (B) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, such Loan, unless then repaid in full, shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan, without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
4.7 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. Each borrowing by Borrower from the Banks hereunder, and each payment by Borrower on account of any fees hereunder, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Pro Rata Shares of the Banks. Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Banks. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., Chicago, Illinois time, on the due date thereof. Agent shall distribute such payments to the Banks promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
4.8 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if Agent shall have reasonably determined that any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, Agent shall give notice of such determination to Borrower and each Bank and (A) the commitment of such Bank hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (B) the LIBOR Loans then outstanding, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such LIBOR Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall pay to each Bank such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11.
4.9 Legal Requirements.
(a) If any Regulatory Change made subsequent to the date hereof shall:
(i) subject any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 4.10 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank);
(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Bank which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or
(iii) impose on such Bank any other condition regarding the LIBOR Loans or any Banks’ funding thereof;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, by an amount which such Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay such Bank, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
(b) If any Bank shall have determined that any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in any such case made subsequent to the date hereof, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Bank to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of a written request therefor, Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction.
(c) If any Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrower, with a copy to Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, such notice to be accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such Bank’s calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Bank to Borrower such certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Bank pursuant to this subsection (i) one hundred and eighty (180) days after any such Regulatory Change takes effect or (ii) to the extent such additional amounts result from such Bank’s negligence.
4.10 Taxes.
(a) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and any Note shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on Agent or any Bank as a result of a present or former connection between Agent or such Bank and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from Agent or such Bank having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Bank hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Bank (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Bank fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b)of this subsection. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and the Banks for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Bank as a result of any such failures. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Bank pursuant to this subsection to the extent such additional amounts result from such Bank’s negligence.
(b) Each Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall:
(i) deliver to Borrower and Agent (A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;
(ii) deliver to Borrower and Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower; and
(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by Borrower or Agent; unless in any such case 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 by required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank so advises Borrower and Agent. Such Bank shall certify (i) in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each party that shall become a transferee pursuant to Section 11.1 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section, provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to Bank from which the related participation shall have been purchased.
4.11 LIBOR Loan Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by Borrower in making any prepayment of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (collectively, the “Make Whole Costs”). The Make Whole Costs shall include any and all costs, expenses, penalties and charges incurred by the Banks as a result thereof (excluding any loss of profit or margin), plus an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the time of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of the failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period which would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included thereon, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) which would have accrued to such Bank on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the eurodollar deposit market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts due hereunder. Amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be paid to Agent for the account of the applicable Bank, upon the request of such Bank through Agent and delivery to Borrower of a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such Bank’s determination of such amounts. A determination of any Bank as to the amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be prima facie evidence of such amounts and shall be based upon the assumption that such Bank funded its loan commitment for LIBOR Loans in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Bank deems appropriate and practical, provided, however, that such Bank is not obligated to accept a deposit in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in order to charge interest on a LIBOR Loan at the LIBOR Rate.

(c) Borrower and Guarantor are in compliance with all of the covenants contained in Section 9.3 hereof,
(d) No Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists on the date of the Extension Request or the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such Extension Request) and there have been no prior Events of Default under the Loan, during the term of the Loan;
(e) The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the other Obligors in the Loan Documents shall have been true and correct in all material respects on the date the Extension Request is made and on the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such Extension Request) (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date)); and
(f) Each Extension Request shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied on the date of such Extension Request.
4.13 Removal of a Bank. If (a) the obligation of any Bank to make LIBOR Loans or to continue, or to convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be canceled or suspended pursuant to Section 4.8, (b) a Bank requests compensation pursuant to Section 4.9, (c) payments to a Bank are required to be increased, or the Borrower is required to make payments to a Governmental Authority in respect of amount payable hereunder to a Bank, as a result of Section 4.10, (d) a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or (e) a Bank does not consent to any amendment, modification or waiver to, or consent regarding, this Agreement or any other Loan Document which, pursuant to Section 14.2(b) requires the consent of such Bank, and the Required Banks shall have, or shall have been deemed to have, consented to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent, then, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred (unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent in its sole discretion) the Borrower may either (i) demand that such Bank (the “Affected Bank”), and upon such demand the Affected Bank shall promptly, assign, its Commitment to an Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Bank plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Bank, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Bank and such Assignee, or (ii) pay to the Affected Bank the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Bank plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Bank, whereupon the Commitment of the Affected Bank shall be terminated and the Affected Bank shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Agent and the Affected Bank shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Bank under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Bank nor any other Bank be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Bank or any of the other Banks.

The Loan Opening shall be made at such time as all of the conditions and requirements of this Agreement required to be performed by Borrower or other parties prior to the Loan Opening have been satisfied or performed, unless the same shall have been waived in writing by Agent; but, subject to Section 5.2, in no event shall the Loan Opening occur later than the Loan Opening Date. At the Loan Opening, the Banks shall disburse funds necessary to pay any Loan Expenses then due. No disbursement of Loan Proceeds shall be made by the Banks to Borrower at any time unless:
(a) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and not been waived under this Agreement or under any Loan Document;
(b) all representations and warranties made by Borrower to the Banks herein and otherwise in connection with this Loan continue to be accurate in all material respects (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date));
(c) no litigation or proceedings are pending or threatened (including proceedings under Title11 of the United States Code) against Borrower, Guarantor or the Collateral Pool Properties, which litigation or proceedings could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Affect as determined by the Required Banks;
(d) if the proposed disbursement is an Acquisition Disbursement, the Loan Documents applicable to the Properties being acquired and additional requirements of Section 7.3 hereof have been satisfied;
(e) the Advance shall not cause the aggregate principal amount of all Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base Loan Amount;
(f) the Advance shall not cause a violation of any of the Financial Covenants set forth in Section 9.3 hereof; and
(g) Borrower has delivered a Request for Advance and a Compliance Certificate showing only a calculation of the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 9.3(f), (g) or (h), as applicable, and the Borrowing Base Loan Amount.
7.2 Borrowing Procedures.
(a) Borrower shall submit a Request for Advance (appropriately completed and including all documentation required to be attached thereto pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof) to Agent by 2:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date specified therein requesting that the Banks make Loans on the Borrowing Date and specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, and (ii) all items to be paid with such advance. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date Borrower shall notify Agent in writing (which written notice may be sent via telecopy or email) whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, Base Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and if the Loans are to be entirely or partly LIBOR Loans, the respective amounts of each such type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. If Borrower selects a LIBOR Loan and the borrowing is not made on the Borrowing Date for any reason, Borrower shall be liable for any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 hereof. Agent, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date an advance is to be made, shall (i) notify each Bank thereof and (ii) send to each Bank a copy of Borrower’s Request For Advance together with all supporting documentation. Provided all conditions to an Advance have been satisfied, as determined by Agent, or waived, each Bank will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each borrowing available to Agent for the account of Borrower at the Chicago office of Agent specified in accordance with Section 15.9 hereof prior to 11:00 A.M., Chicago, Illinois time on the date requested by Borrower in funds immediately available to Agent. Each borrowing will be made available to Borrower by Agent depositing the aggregate amounts made available to Agent by the Banks directly to any third party to whom an amount is payable or, in the case of an Acquisition Disbursement, into an escrow with the applicable Title Insurance Company. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower constitutes an irrevocable authorization to Agent and the Banks to advance Loan proceeds as provided in this Section. All sums advanced by direct payment to third parties shall reduce the Available Commitment, shall be evidenced by the Notes and shall be secured by the Loan Documents. The Banks shall have no obligation to make advances of the Loan proceeds more often than five times in each calendar month. Neither the Banks nor Agent shall have any obligation to see to the disposition of any direct payments to any Person.
(b) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date of any proposed borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Agent the Loan on such date, Agent may assume that such Bank has made such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan available to the Agent on such date and Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Bank by 1:00 P.M., Chicago, Illinois time, on the Business Day of such proposed borrowing (it being understood that any such notice received after 1:00 P.M., Chicago, Illinois time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received the immediately following Business Day), such Bank agrees to pay and the Borrower agrees to repay to Agent within two Business Days of demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at the interest rate applicable to such borrowing. If such Bank shall pay to Agent such amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan, and if both such Bank and the Borrower shall have paid and repaid, respectively, such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly pay over to the Borrower such corresponding amount in same day funds, but the Borrower shall remain obligated for all interest thereon to the extent not already paid by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence. Nothing in this Section 7.2(b)shall be deemed to relieve any Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on any date specified in any borrowing notice.
(c) If a Bank (a “Defaulting Bank”) defaults in making any advance or paying any other sum due and payable by it hereunder, such sum together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to such borrowing from the date such amount was due until repaid (such sum and interest thereon as aforesaid referred to, collectively, as the “Bank Default Obligation”) shall be payable by the Defaulting Bank (i) to any Bank which elects, at its sole option (and with no obligation to do so), to fund the amount which the Defaulting Bank failed to fund or (ii) to Agent or any other Bank which under the terms of this Agreement is entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Bank for the amounts advanced or expended. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Bank has repaid the Bank Default Obligation in full, all amounts which would otherwise be distributed to the Defaulting Bank shall instead be applied first to repay the Bank Default Obligation (to be applied first to interest at the Federal Funds Rate and then to principal) until the Bank Default Obligation has been repaid in full (whether by such application or by cure by the Defaulting Bank), whereupon such Bank shall no longer be a Defaulting Bank. Any interest collected from Borrower on account of principal advanced by any Bank(s) on behalf of a Defaulting Bank shall be paid to the Bank(s) who made such advance and shall be credited against the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to pay interest on the amount advanced at the Federal Funds Rate. If no other Bank funds the amount which the Defaulting Bank was obligated to fund, then a portion of the Defaulting Bank’s indebtedness hereunder equal to the Bank Default Obligation shall be subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrower to the Banks (other than the Defaulting Bank) and shall be repaid only after payment in full of all other indebtedness hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments. Additionally, a Defaulting Bank’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Banks (other than the Defaulting Bank) shall be suspended until it ceases to be a Defaulting Bank, and during any such period in which a Defaulting Bank’s voting rights have been suspended the Required Banks shall be the requisite percentage of all other entities comprising the Banks. Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the Bank Default Obligation any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Bank in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Bank Default Obligation and, to the extent such recovery would not fully compensate Bank (other than the Defaulting Bank) for the Defaulting Bank’s breach of this Agreement, to collect damages. In addition, the Defaulting Bank shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each of the other Banks harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, for funds advanced by Agent or any other Bank on account of the Defaulting Bank or any other damages such entities may sustain by reason of the Defaulting Bank’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement. If a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, Borrower may find a replacement Bank and require the Defaulting Bank to assign (which a Defaulting Bank shall do upon Borrower’s demand) its interests to such replacement in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 of this Agreement provided that there shall be deducted from the amount that would otherwise be paid to the Defaulting Bank an amount equal to the Bank Default Obligation.
(d) Borrower hereby authorizes each Bank to make advances directly to Agent for payment and reimbursement of all charges, costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the Loan, including, but not limited to, (i) loan fees in connection with the Loan (in accordance with the Loan Documents); (ii) all title examination, survey, escrow, filing, search, recording and registration fees and charges; (iii) all fees and disbursements of consultants engaged by Borrower and/or Agent, including the fees and disbursements of architects, engineers and Agent’s insurance consultant; (iv) all documentary stamp and other taxes and charges imposed by law on the issuance or recording of any of the Loan Documents; (v) all appraisal fees; (vi) all title, casualty, liability, payment, performance or other insurance or bond premiums; (vii) all reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel engaged by Agent in connection with the origination, negotiation, document preparation, consummation and administration of the Loan and all reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel engaged by the Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, which, so long as Agent has not engaged outside counsel, shall also include reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of the Agent or any affiliate of the Agent and for which Agent has provided Borrower reasonable documentation of such fees and time charges; and (viii) any amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this Agreement, any Security Instrument or any Loan Document after the occurrence of an Event of Default (all of which are herein referred to as “Loan Expenses”).

Each Secuirty Instrument shall secure an amount up to the Commitment Amount, except that, in those juridictions in which there is a recording or similar tax imposed with respect to mortgage indebtedness, in which case the Security Instrument shall secure an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Appraised Value of such Property.

FURTHER AGREEMENTS OF BORROWER
8.1 Mechanics’ Liens, Taxes and Contest Thereof. Borrower agrees that it will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against any Collateral Pool Property and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, and will pay all special assessments which have been placed in collection and all real estate taxes and assessments of every kind (regardless of whether the same are payable in installments) upon any Collateral Pool Property, before the same become delinquent; provided, however, that Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien, claim, tax or assessment.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that may be entered against Borrower, Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of a Collateral Pool Property, and use commercially reasonable efforts to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings.

Each Bank agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Bank enters into with any Participant. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement, any Note and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or such Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with each Participant, as provided herein. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 4 hereof as if it were a Bank (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to such Article 4 than would have been paid to the participating Bank if no participation had been sold).
11.2 Prohibition of Assignments and Encumbrances by Borrower. Except as expressly provided in each Security Instrument, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Agent, shall not create, effect, consent to, attempt, contract for, agree to make, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer (as defined in the applicable Security Instrument).

ARTICLE 13
AGENT’S REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT
13.1 Remedies Conferred upon Agent. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent, in addition to all remedies conferred upon Agent by law and by the terms of the Notes, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, may, and at the direction of the Required Banks shall, pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any others:
(a) Withhold further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and terminate any of its obligations to Borrower;
(b) Declare the Notes to be due and payable forthwith, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives and
(c) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted at law or in equity or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, foreclosure of the Security Instruments and enforcement of all Loan Documents.
13.2 Automatic. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 12.1(g) or (h), (A) (i) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time outstanding, (ii) an amount equal to the stated amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and (iii) all of the other Obligations of the Borrower, including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Banks, the Issuing Bank and the Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents shall become immediately and automatically due and payable by the Borrower without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower, and (B) all of the Commitments, the obligation of the Banks to make Loans and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, shall all immediately and automatically terminate.
13.3 Setoff Rights. In addition to any rights of setoff that Agent and/or the Banks may have under applicable law, upon an Event of Default which has not been waived, Agent and/or the Banks, without notice of any kind to Borrower, may appropriate and apply to the payment of the Notes or of any sums due under this Agreement any and all balances, deposits, credits, accounts, certificates of deposit, instruments or money of Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Agent, any Bank or any Participant of any Bank.
13.4 Right of Banks to Make Advances to Cure Event of Defaults; Obligatory Advances. If Borrower shall fail to perform any of its covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents contained, Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Agent in so doing, and any amounts expended by Agent pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof and any amounts advanced by the Banks pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed advanced by the Banks under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the Person or Persons to whom said funds are disbursed. Loan Proceeds advanced by the Banks to complete the Properties to protect their security for the Loan are obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
13.5 Attorneys’ Fees. Borrower will pay Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the negotiation, preparation and enforcment of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which shall also include reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of the Agent or any affiliate of the Agent (so long as Agent has not engaged outside counsel) and for which Agent has provided Borrower reasonable documentation of such fees and time charges; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation with respect to any matter concerning Borrower, this Agreement, the Properties or the Loan Documents or if the Banks employ one or more counsel to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Properties, or to attempt to enforce or protect any security interest or lien or other right in any of the Premises or under any of the Loan Documents, or to enforce any rights of the Banks or obligations of Borrower or any other Person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to the Banks by virtue of this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Agent in furtherance hereof, then in any such event, all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall constitute an additional indebtedness owing by Borrower to the Banks payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
13.6 No Waiver. No failure by Agent to exercise, or delay by Agent in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any right or remedy provided at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case, in itself, shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
13.7 Default Rate. From and after the date of any Event of Default until the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived, interest on funds outstanding hereunder shall accrue at the Default Rate and be payable on demand. The failure of Agent to charge interest at the Default Rate shall not be evidence of the absence of an Event of Default or waiver of an Event of Default by Agent.
ARTICLE 14
THE AGENT
14.1 Appointment and Authorization.
(a) Each Bank hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 14.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. The Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Agent in this Section 14.1 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in this Section 14.1, included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Bank.
(c) Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
14.2 Actions Requiring Consent and Approval.
(a) Agent may amend or waive any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any party to the Loan Documents therefrom which amendment, waiver or consent is intended to be within Agent’s discretion or determination, or otherwise in Agent’s reasonable determination shall not result in a Material Adverse Change. Otherwise, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective unless in writing, signed by the Required Banks, and Borrower or the applicable party to the Loan Documents, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Required Banks consent shall be required for the following:
(i) Appointment of a successor Agent, provided that no Bank shall unreasonably withhold its consent to the appointment of a successor Agent and further provided that nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall limit the rights of Agent under Section 14.9 in the event a successor Agent is not appointed within thirty (30) days of the retiring Agent giving notice of its resignation;
(ii) Waive any non-monetary Event of Default on the part of the Borrower or Guarantor; and
(iii) Approval of a Property for inclusion in the Loan.
(b) Agent shall not undertake any of the following actions without the prior approval or consent of each Bank affected thereby:
(i) Extend the Maturity Date or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or any accrued interest thereon, or any other amendment of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which would reduce the underlying interest rate or the rate at which fees are calculated or forgive any loan fee, or extend the time of payment of any principal, interest or fees;
(ii) Amend the Guaranty;
(iii) Modify the percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks;
(iv) Increase of the amount of the Loan or any Commitment;
(v) Amend this Section 14.2(b);
(vi) Waive a monetary default under the Loan Documents;
(vii) Release all or any portion of any collateral for the Loan except in accordance with the terms and provisions of Sections 7.7, 7.8 or 14.10 hereof or any other Loan Document; and
(viii) Consent to any additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by all or any portion of the Property, except as may be provided for in the Loan Documents.
(c) No provision of Article 14 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of the Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Issuing Bank.
(d) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, Agent may, but shall not be required to, at any time request instructions from the Required Banks with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from the Required Banks, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Banks. Without limiting the foregoing, no Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Banks. Agent shall promptly notify each Bank at any time that the Required Banks have instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
(e) If an Event of a Default occurs hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, Agent may make the determination to accelerate the Loan and exercise or refrain from exercising remedies hereunder (and Agent shall do so at the written direction of the Required Banks). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may take any action it deems to be necessary from time to time to protect the collateral.
(f) Each Bank authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this Agreement. Each Bank agrees that any action taken by Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Bank in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the exercise by Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Banks of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Banks, except for actions specifically requiring the approval of all of the Banks. All communications from Agent to the Banks requesting a Bank’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested and to the extent not previously provided written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days after receipt of the request therefor from Agent (the “Bank Reply Period”). Unless written notice to Agent that a Bank objects to the recommendation or determination of Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Bank Reply Period, such party shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Banks or all of the Banks, Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to each Bank and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall, to the extent feasible, follow the course of action or determination recommended by Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Banks, and each non-responding party shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action.
(g) Until such time as Borrower is otherwise instructed in writing by the Agent or the Required Banks, Borrower may rely on the direction, consent or approval of Agent as the direction, consent or approval of the Banks.
14.3 Liability of Agent. None of Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks or any Participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower, Guarantor, or any member, partner, shareholder or officer of Borrower or Guarantor, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien, mortgage or security interest therein), or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or Guarantor.
14.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or party, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Banks of their obligation to indemnify the Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article 14, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Agent shall have received written notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Loan Opening Date specifying its objection thereto.
14.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Banks, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Banks in accordance with this Section 14.5; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.
14.6 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and Guarantor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Bank as to any matter, including whether the Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Bank represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantor, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Banks by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of the Agent.
14.7 Bank Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damaged and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Bank shall be liable for any payment to Agent of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Loan Expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
14.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. LaSalle and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and Guarantor as though LaSalle were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, LaSalle or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or Guarantor (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or Guarantor) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), LaSalle and its affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though LaSalle were not the Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include LaSalle and its affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.
14.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Banks. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Banks shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and Borrower, a successor agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
14.10 Collateral Matters. The Banks irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all of the Banks.
14.11 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or Guarantor, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

15.3 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other documents or instruments executed pursuant thereto or contemplated thereby, shall represent the entire, integrated agreement between the parties hereto with respect to construction of the Properties not yet in place, and shall supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements pertaining thereto, either oral or written.

Neither Agent nor the Banks shall be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor, subcontractor, architect or provider of services on or to the Collateral Pool Properties, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor, subcontractor, architect or provider of services be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by Agent or any Bank unless and until Agent or such Bank expressly assumes such status in writing.

Borrower agrees to defend (with counsel satisfactory to Banks), protect, indemnify and hold harmless Agent, each Bank, any parent corporation, affiliated corporation or subsidiary of Agent or any Bank, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and distributions of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party thereto, which shall also include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of Agent, any Bank or any parent or affiliated corporation of Agent or any Bank (so long as Agent has not engaged outside counsel) and for which Agent has provided Borrower reasonable documentation of such fees and time charges, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations, including, without limitation, securities, applicable Environmental Laws and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the Loan Documents, the making or issuance and management of the Loans, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans and the enforcement of Agent and any Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes, the Loan Documents, any other instruments and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to such Indemnified Party on demand, and failing prompt payment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by such Indemnified Party until paid by Borrower, shall be added to the obligations of Borrower evidenced by the Notes and secured by the collateral securing the Loans.

The provisions of this section shall survive the closing of the Loans, the satisfaction and payment of the Notes and any cancellation of this Agreement. Borrower shall also pay, and hold Agent and each Bank harmless from, any and all claims of any brokers, finders or agents claiming a right to any fees in connection with arranging the Loan. Each Bank hereby represents that it has not employed a broker or other finder in connection with the Loans. Borrower represents and warrants that no brokerage commissions or finder’s fees are to be paid in connection with the Loans.
