Article 2
Loan
Terms
Section 2.1 The
Commitments, Loans and Notes.
(1) Loans.
Each
Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to
make
loans (each advance of such a loan being a “Loan”
and
collectively, the “Loans”)
on a
non-revolving basis to Borrower in Dollars from time to time in amounts equal
to
its Proportionate Share of the aggregate amount of Loans to be made of such
time; provided,
however,
that in
no event shall the aggregate principal amount advanced by each Lender exceed
the
amount of the Commitment of such Lender. The Loans shall be funded and repaid
in
accordance with this Agreement.
(2) Requests
for Loan Advances.
With
respect to each Loan, Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (and the
Construction Consultant) a Request for Loan Advance as provided in Section 4.2.
The
Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice of any such Request for
Loan
Advance in accordance with Section 2.8(5).
Not
later than 12:00 noon New York time on the date specified for each
Loan, each Lender shall make available for the account of its Applicable
Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent as specified by the Administrative Agent,
in
immediately available funds, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of each Loan to
be made pursuant hereto. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds
and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 4
and
Schedule 4,
the
Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower by depositing
the same, in immediately available funds, in an account designated by Borrower
by the end of business on the applicable advance date, to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(3) Changes
of Commitments.
(a) The
respective Commitments shall reduce pro rata automatically by reason of any
prepayment of the Loans applicable thereto in the amount of any such
prepayment.
(b) If
the
Maturity Date is extended in accordance with Section 2.5,
all of
the unused Commitments then remaining at the commencement of the extended
loan
period shall be automatically terminated.
(c) The
Commitments, once terminated or reduced, may not be reinstated. Each termination
or reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments.
(4) Lending
Offices.
The
Loans of each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable
Lending Office for Loans of such Type.
(5) Several
Obligations.
The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified
therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its
Loan,
but neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible
for the
failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender;
provided,
however,
33
that
no
such failure by any Lender of its obligation to make a Loan shall be deemed
to
result in a default under this Agreement as a result of the Loans not being
In
Balance for a period of sixty (60) days following such failure.
(6) Notes.
(a) Loan
Notes.
The
Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note
of
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit C,
payable
to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment
as
originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.
(b) Endorsements
on Notes.
The
date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if
applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to Borrower, and each payment
made
on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on
its
books and, prior to any transfer of the Note held by it, endorsed by such
Lender
on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided
that the
failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall
not
affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount
owing hereunder or under such Note in respect of such Loans.
(c) Substitution,
Exchange and Subdivision of Notes.
No
Lender shall be entitled to have its Notes substituted or exchanged for any
reason, or subdivided for promissory notes of lesser denominations, except
in
connection with a permitted assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s
Commitment, Loans and Note pursuant to Section 12.9
and
Section 12.24
(and, if
requested by any Lender, Borrower agrees to so substitute or exchange any
Notes
and enter into note splitter agreements in connection therewith).
(d) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Notes.
In the
event of the loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon Borrower’s receipt of
a reasonably satisfactory indemnification agreement executed in favor of
Borrower by the holder of such Note, or in the event of the mutilation of
any
Note, upon the surrender of such mutilated Note by the holder thereof to
Borrower, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such holder a new replacement
Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
(e) Funding
of Loans.
Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon,
New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most
recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent will promptly make such Loans available to Borrower
by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account in the United States
designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Request for Loan
Advance.
Section 2.2 Conversions
or Continuations of Loans.
(1) Subject
to Section 2.8(4),
Section 2.9(2)
and
Section 2.9(3),
Borrower shall have the right to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of
another
Type or Continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time
or
from time to time; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent notice of each such Conversion or
34
Continuation
as provided in Section 2.8(5);
(b) LIBOR-based Loans may be Converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Loans unless Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.9(5)
and
(c) subject to Section 2.9(1)
and
Section 2.9(3),
any
Conversion or Continuation of Loans shall be pro rata among the Lenders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies
of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Article 11,
in the
event that any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and
at the
request of the Majority Lenders shall) suspend the right of Borrower to Convert
any Loan into a LIBOR-based Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a LIBOR-based
Loan
for so long as such Event of Default exists, in which event all Loans shall
be
Converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor)
or
Continued, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans. In connection with any
such
Conversion, a Lender may (at its sole and absolute discretion) transfer a
Loan
from one Applicable Lending Office to another.
(2) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time that a
Hedge
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall have the right to choose only an Interest
Period which is the same as the Interest Rate Hedge Period.
Section 2.3 Interest
Rate; Late Charge.
(1) Borrower
hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (which may be Base Rate
Loans and/or LIBOR-based Loans) made by such Lender for the period from and
including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall
be
paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(a) during
such periods as such Loan is an Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus
the
Applicable Margin; and
(b) during
such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR-based Loan, for each Interest Period
relating thereto, the Adjusted Libor Rate for such Loan for such Interest
Period
plus
the
Applicable Margin.
(2) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on each
Payment Date and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or
prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type
(but
only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or Converted), except that
interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on
demand.
(3) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and during
any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the applicable
Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such
Lender, any interest payments (except a late payment of any Additional Interest
which shall be governed by the terms of the Hedge Agreement) thereon not
paid
when due and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the
Notes
and any other Loan Documents.
(4) Promptly
after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change
therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders
to
which
35
such
interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of the Administrative
Agent
to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of
interest on the Loans.
(5) In
addition to any sums due under this Section 2.3,
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
a
late payment premium in the amount of five percent (5%) of any payments of
interest, principal or other sums under the Loans made more than five (5)
days after the due date thereof (excluding payment of principal due on the
Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Notes), which late payment premium
shall be due with any such late payment or upon demand by the Administrative
Agent. Such late payment charge represents the reasonable estimate of Borrower
and the Lenders of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be
sustained by the Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments.
Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any other amounts provided
herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to exercise any other
rights
or remedies under the Loan Documents.
(6) Borrower
shall pay Additional Interest under the Notes in accordance with the terms
of
the Hedge Agreement.
Section 2.4 Terms
of Payment.
The
Loans shall be payable as follows:
(1) Interest.
Commencing on October 1, 2006, Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on
each
Payment Date in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth
in
Schedule 2.4(1)
hereto
(or such other instructions as the Administrative Agent may from time to
time
provide) until all amounts due under the Loan Documents are paid in full.
Subject to the provisions of Article 4
and
Section 2.1,
such
accrued interest shall be payable from the interest reserves established
pursuant to the Budget; provided,
however,
that
such reserves shall not limit Borrower’s obligation to pay such accrued
interest.
(2) Principal
Payments During Second Extension Period and Third Extension
Period.
If
Borrower shall have elected to extend the term of the Loans for the Second
Extension Period or Third Extension Period in accordance with Section
2.5(2)
or
2.5(3),
respectively, Borrower hereby promises to pay during the Second Extension
Period
and Third Extension Period to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the
Lenders), monthly payments of principal in arrears on each Payment Date.
Each
such payment shall be in an amount equal to the payment that would be due
on
such Payment Date under a thirty (30) year “mortgage style” amortization
schedule sufficient to fully amortize a loan with a principal amount equal
to
the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the date that is ten (10)
Business Days prior to the first day of the Second Extension Period and an
interest rate equal to the greatest of: (i) 6.10%; (ii) the sum of (A) 1.5%
plus
(B) a rate determined by Administrative Agent as of ten (10) Business Days
prior
to the commencement of the Second Extension Period equivalent to the yield,
calculated by linear interpolation (rounded to the nearest 1/32 of 1%),
on-the-run, bidside United States Treasury obligations having maturities
as
close as possible to ten (10) years from the date of such determination;
and
(iii) the then current rate as determined in accordance with Section
2.3
(provided that if there is more than one Interest Period at such time, the
rate
shall be the highest rate on any Loans at such time), such computation to
be
reasonably made by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
notify Borrower of the amount of each
36
such
amortization payment at least five (5) Business Days before such amortization
payments commence for the Second Extension Period.
(3) Maturity.
On the
Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (on behalf
of the
Lenders) all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any
other
amounts due under the Loan Documents.
(4) Optional
Prepayments.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.4(6)
and
Section 2.9(5),
Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 2.8(5)
(and,
upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be
prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder) and (b) partial prepayments
shall be in the minimum aggregate principal amounts specified in Section 2.8(4).
Loans
that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed.
(5) Mandatory
Prepayments.
If a
casualty or condemnation shall occur with respect to the Project, Borrower,
upon
Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable insurance
proceeds or condemnation award, shall prepay the Loan, if required by the
provisions of Article 3,
on the
dates and in the amounts specified therein without premium (but subject to
the
provisions of Section 2.4(6)
and
Section 2.9(5)).
Nothing in this Section 2.4(5)
shall be
deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under the Mortgage or any other
Security Document, including any obligation to remit to a collateral or similar
account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Mortgage or
any
of the other Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award
or
other compensation received in respect of any casualty or condemnation.
Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.4(5)
shall be
applied to the Loans then outstanding pro rata in the order set forth in
Section 2.4(6).
(6) Interest
and Other Charges on Prepayment.
If the
Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2.4(4)
or
Section 2.4(5),
each
such prepayment shall be made on the prepayment date specified in the notice
to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8(5),
and (in
every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest (including
accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if applicable) on the principal amount
prepaid and (b) any amounts payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(5)
as a
result of such prepayment while an Adjusted Libor Rate is in effect;
provided,
however,
that
any such prepayment shall be applied first, to the prepayment of any portions
of
the outstanding principal amount that are Base Rate Loans and, second, to
the
prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are
LIBOR-based Loans applying such sums first to LIBOR-based Loans of the shortest
maturity so as to minimize breakage costs; provided,
further,
however,
that if
an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may distribute such
payment
to the Lenders for application in such manner as it or the Majority Lenders,
subject to Section 2.8(2),
may
determine to be appropriate.
(7) Application
of Payments.
All
payments received by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall
be
applied: first, to any fees and expenses due to the Administrative Agent
and the
Lenders under the Loan Documents; second, to any Default Rate interest or
late
charges; third, to accrued and unpaid interest; and fourth, to the principal
sum
and other amounts due under the Loan Documents; provided,
however,
that,
if an Event of Default
37
exists
the Administrative Agent shall apply such payments in any order or manner
as the
Administrative Agent shall determine.

Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.4(7),
Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or
any
Note for the account of any Lender, specify to the Administrative Agent (which
shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Loans or other amounts
payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and
in the
event that Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to
the
Lenders for application in such manner as it may determine to be appropriate,
subject to Section 2.8(2)
and any
other agreement among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect
to
such application).

Except
as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each payment
received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for
account of any Lender shall be paid by the Administrative Agent promptly
to such

If the
due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise

(2) Pro
Rata Treatment.
Except
to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each advance of a Loan from
the Lenders under Section 2.1(1)
shall be
made from the Lenders, and any termination of the obligation to make an advance
of the Loans shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders,
pro
rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(4),
Loans

(d) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made for account
of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such
Loans
then due and payable to the respective Lenders (subject to the terms of any

(collectively, “Loan
Transactions”)
of
Loans shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 (Loan
Transactions of or into Loans of different Types or Interest Periods at the
same
time hereunder shall be deemed separate Loan Transactions for purposes of
the
foregoing, one
44
for
each
Type or Interest Period); provided
that if
any Loans or borrowings would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for
any
period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period and if such
Loans
are LIBOR-based Loans, additional increments shall be in a minimum amount
at
least equal to $100,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount
of
$1,000,000 shall not apply to Conversions of lesser amounts into a tranche
of
Loans that has (or will have upon such Conversion) an aggregate principal
amount
exceeding such minimum amount and one Interest Period.
(5) Certain
Notices.
Notices
by Borrower to the Administrative Agent regarding Loan Transactions and the
selection of Types of Loans and/or of the duration of Interest Periods shall
be
irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative
Agent
(and, in the case of a Request for Loan Advance, the Construction Consultant)
not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the number of
Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan Transaction or the first
day of such Interest Period specified below:

|

|
Each
such
notice of a Loan Transaction shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.8(4)),
Type,
and Interest Period of such proposed Loan Transaction, and the date (which
shall
be a Business Day) of such proposed Loan Transaction and in the case of a
Request for Loan Advance, shall be accompanied by all documentation required
by
this Agreement as a condition precedent to the applicable Loans. Notices
for
Conversions and Continuations shall be in the form of Exhibit E.
Each
such notice specifying the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the
portion of the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. In the case
of
a Request for Loan Advance, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders
of
their respective Proportionate Shares of the amount approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant. The Administrative
Agent
shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. If
Borrower fails to select (i) the Type of Loan or (ii) the duration of
any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan within the time period
(i.e.,
three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next applicable
Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.8(5),
such
Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically Continued as
an
LIBOR-based Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day
of the current Interest Period for such Loan (based on a LIBOR-based Rate
determined two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the next
Interest Period) or, if outstanding as an Base Rate Loan, will remain as
a Base
Rate Loan.
(6) Non
Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.
Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower
(in
either case, the
45
“Payor”)
prior
to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the Administrative Agent
of
(in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender
hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to the Administrative Agent
for
account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being herein
called the “Required
Payment”),
which
notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to
make
the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
may
assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon
such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available
to
the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact
made
the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such
payment shall, on demand, 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 (the “Advance
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
(a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to
the Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b) the applicable
interest rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower
to the
Administrative Agent and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make
such
payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount,
on
demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid; provided
that if
neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment
to the
Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date,
then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall
each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as
follows:
(a) if
the
Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the
Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively
to
the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the
Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under
Section 2.3
to pay
interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood
that
the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative
Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3
to pay
interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment,
and
(b) if
the
Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders
to
Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to
the
Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant
to
whichever of the rates specified in Section 2.3
is
applicable to the Type of such Loan, it being understood that the return
by
Borrower of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit
any
claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required
Payment.
(7) Sharing
of Payments, Etc.
If any
Lender shall obtain from Borrower or in any other manner payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other
amount
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and, as a result of such
payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal
of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or
thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any
other
Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations
in
(or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in)
the
Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or
in
interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such
other
adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all
the
Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess
46
payment
(net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or
preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal
of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing
to
each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise)
if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
Section 2.9 Yield
Protection; Etc.
(1) Additional
Costs.
(a) Costs
of Making or Maintaining LIBOR-based Loans.
Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts
as
such Lender may in good faith determine to be necessary to compensate such
Lender for any costs that such Lender in good faith determines are attributable
to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR-based Loans or its obligation to
make
any LIBOR-based Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable
by
such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation
(such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called
“Additional
Costs”),
resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(A) shall
subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans)
to
any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or changes
the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement
or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate
of
tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable Lending
Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office
or such
Applicable Lending Office); or
(B) imposes
or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than
the
Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted Libor Rate
for any
Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including,
without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the
definition of “Libor Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including,
without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or
(C) imposes
any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such
extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.
If
any
Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this paragraph (a),
Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue
LIBOR-based Loans, or to Convert Loans into LIBOR-based Loans, until the
Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in
which
case the provisions of Section 2.9(4)
shall be
applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of
such
Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(b) Costs
Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines.
Without
limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9(1)
(but
without duplication), Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time
to
47
time
on
request such amounts as such Lender may determine in good faith to be necessary
to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company
of
which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines in good
faith are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable
Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation
or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force
of
law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of
any
court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory
Change or (ii) implementing any risk based capital guideline or other
requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the
failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any
government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national
level the Basle Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans
(such
compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction
of
the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable
Lending
Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Lender
(or
any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved
but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or
request).
(c) Notification
and Certification.
Each
Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof
entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a)
or (b)
of this
Section 2.9(1)
as
promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days, after
such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided
that
(i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within sixty (60) days
after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with
respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(1)
in
respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment
under this Section 2.9(1)
for
costs incurred from and after the date forty-five (45) days prior to the
date
that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate
a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected
by
such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
of,
such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be
disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation
to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of
America. Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth
the
basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under
paragraph (a)
or (b)
of this
Section 2.9(1).
Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.9(1)
of the
effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a)
of this
Section 2.9(1),
or of
the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this
Section 2.9(1),
on its
costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans,
or
on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required
to
compensate such Lender under this Section 2.9(1),
shall
be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made
on a
reasonable basis.
(2) Limitation
on Types of Loans.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the
determination of the Libor Rate for any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based
Loan:
(a) the
Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive,
that
quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of Libor Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or
for
the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for
LIBOR-based Loans as provided herein; or
48
(b) the
Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and
notify
the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to
in the
definition of Libor Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for
LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely
adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining
LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period;
then
the
Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof
and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under
no
obligation to make additional LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based
Loans
or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower
shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall
be
automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
(3) Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that
it
becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor
its
obligation to make or maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole
opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending
Office
would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such
Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a
copy to
the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or
to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended
until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR-based Loans
(in
which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4)
shall be
applicable).
(4) Treatment
of Affected Loans.
If the
obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or to Continue, or to
Convert
Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.9(1)
or
Section 2.9(3),
such
Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last
day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case
of a
Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3),
on such
earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided
below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1)
or
Section 2.9(3)
that
gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to
the
extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and
prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans
shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all
Loans
that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR-based Loans
shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such
Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain
as
Base Rate Loans.
If
such
Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent that
the
circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1)
or
Section 2.9(3)
that
gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(4)
no
longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances
ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR-based Loans made by other Lenders
are
outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on
the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding
49
LIBOR-based
Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all
Base
Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably
(as to
principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.
(5) Compensation.
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender,
upon
the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount
or
amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender)
to
compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is
attributable to:
(a) any
payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by such Lender
for
any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans
pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in
Article 11)
on a
date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;
or
(b) any
failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan from such
Lender
on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Request for Loan
Advance given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of
this
Agreement.
Without
limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that
otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted
or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment,
Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest
Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest
Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for
such
borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for
herein
over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such
principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the
amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar
deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount
and
with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such
Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent
rate,
as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Page 3750 of the Dow
Xxxxx Markets (Telerate) Service or other publicly available source as described
in the definition of Libor Rate.
(6) U.S.
Taxes.
(a) Gross-up
for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes.
Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender that is not a U.S. Person such additional
amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due
to such
non U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of
any
U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment
of
such U.S. Taxes by such non U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount
stated herein to be then due and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation
to pay such additional amounts shall not apply:
(iii) to
any
payment to any Lender hereunder unless such Lender is, on the date hereof
(or on
the date it becomes a Lender hereunder as provided in Section 12.24(2))
and on
the date of any change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, either
entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it
to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by
it
hereunder
50
in
respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be
received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or
(iv) to
any
U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non U.S. Person
to
comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other
reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connections with the United States of America of such non U.S. Person if
such
compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America
as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes.
For
the
purposes hereof, (A) “U.S.
Person”
means
a
citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation,
limited liability company, partnership or other entity created or organized
in
or under any laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, or
any
estate or trust that is subject to Federal income taxation regardless of
the
source of its income, (B) “U.S.
Taxes”
means
any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by
or on
behalf of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or
therein, (C) “Form W-8BEN”
means
Form W-8BEN of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of
America and (D) “Form W-8ECI”
means
Form W-8ECI of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of
America. Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C)
and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to

Within
thirty (30) days after paying any amount to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding,
and within thirty (30) days after it is required by law to remit such
deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for delivery to such non U.S. Person
evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction, withholding or payment
(as the case may be).
(7) Replacement
of Lenders.
If any
Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1)
or
Section 2.9(6),
or any
Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Loans of any
Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(2)
or
Section 2.9(3)
(any
such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose
51
obligations
are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting
Lender”),
Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice, may require that such
Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this
Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial
institution (a “Proposed
Lender”)
identified by Borrower that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
(i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such
Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s
Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the
date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory
arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other
amounts
accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of
such
transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would
be
payable under Section 2.9(5)
as if
all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date)
and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to
Section 2.9(1)
or
Section 2.9(6),
such
Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to
Section 2.9(1)
or
Section 2.9(6)
with
respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting
Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24(2),
such
Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the
agreements of Borrower contained in Section 2.9(1),
Section 2.9(6)
and
Section 12.5
(without
duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or
the
Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender
under
this Section 2.9(7)
with
respect to the time prior to such replacement.
Borrower
hereby expressly (i) waives any rights it may have under Section 2954.10
of the
California Civil Code to prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, without penalty,
upon acceleration of the maturity date of the Notes on account of any Event
of
Default and (ii) agrees that if, for any reason, a prepayment is made of
any or
all of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes upon or following any
acceleration of the maturity date of the Notes on account of any Event of
Default, including but not limited to any transfer as prohibited or restricted
by Section
9.1,
and any
amounts are due and owing under Section
2.9(5),
then
Borrower shall be obligated to pay, concurrently therewith, any such amounts
as
are due and owing under Section
2.9(5).
By
initialing this provision in the space provided below, Borrower hereby declares
that the Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans at the interest rate and for the
term set forth in this Agreement constitutes adequate consideration, given
individual weight by Borrower, for this waiver and agreement.

ARTICLE 3
Insurance,
Condemnation, and Impounds
Section 3.1 Insurance.
(1) Borrower
shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, Policies providing
at
least the following coverages for Borrower and the Project (at all times
through
the repayment of the Loans in full):
(a) comprehensive
all-risk insurance on the improvements and the personal property, in each
case
(i) in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the total Commitments or (B)
one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of
this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of
excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver
of
depreciation; (ii) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to
the improvements and personal property waiving all co-insurance provisions;
(iii) providing for no deductible in excess of $50,000; (iv) providing
for repairs and alteration coverage; and (v) providing coverage for
contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and
Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law
Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of
the Project shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures
or
uses. The Full Replacement Cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but
not
more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24) calendar months) at the
request of the Administrative Agent by an appraiser or contractor designated
by
Borrower and reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, or by an engineer
or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. The cost of such appraisal
shall be paid by the Administrative Agent unless an Event of Default shall
have
occurred and be continuing, in which case such cost shall be paid by Borrower.
After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction
cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of
Administrative Agent to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower
of
any of its obligations under this Section 3.1(1)(a);
(b) commercial
general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury,
death or property damage (including liabilities as a result of repairs and
alterations) occurring upon, in or about the Project, such insurance (i) to
be on the so called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less
than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate; (ii) to
continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed
by
the Administrative Agent in writing by reason of changed economic conditions
making such protection inadequate; and (iii) to cover at least the
following hazards: (A) premises and operations; (B) products and
completed operations on an “if any” basis and for a period of not less than
five (5) years after the completion of construction of the applicable
Improvements; (C) independent contractors; (D) blanket contractual
liability for all “insured contracts” as defined in the standard general
liability policy; and (E) contractual liability covering the indemnities
contained in Sections 5.4,
11.2
and
14.4
hereof,
to the extent the same is available and falls within the definition of “insured
contracts”;
53
(c) business
income/loss of rents insurance (i) with loss payable to the Administrative
Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders); (ii) covering all risks required to
be covered by the insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a)
hereof;
(iii) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected
gross income from the Project (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period
continuing until the Restoration of the Project is completed; the amount
of such
business income/loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the
date
hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on the greater of
(x) Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Project,
and (y) the highest gross income received during the term of the Notes for
any full calendar year prior to the date the amount of such insurance is
being
determined (or such lesser period as may have expired from the date of
substantial completion of the applicable Improvements to the date the amount
of
such insurance is being determined), in each case for the succeeding
eighteen (18) month period and (iv) containing an extended period of
indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the
improvements and the personal property has been repaired, the continued loss
of
income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level
it was
at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the
date that the Project is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed,
whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior
to
the end of such period. All insurance proceeds payable to the Administrative
Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.1(1)(c)
shall be
held by the Administrative Agent and shall be applied to the obligations
secured
hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Notes
and
this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations
to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment
provided for in the Notes and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts
are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income/loss of rents
insurance;
(d) when
required by the Administrative Agent or at the discretion of Borrower, at
all
times prior to the completion of construction of the Improvements, the insurance
provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a)
shall be
written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form (i) on a non
reporting basis, (ii) against all risks insured against pursuant to
Section 3.1(1)(a),
(iii) shall include permission to occupy the Project, and (iv) shall
contain an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions, and
shall
also include coverage for:
(A) loss
suffered with respect to materials, equipment, machinery, and supplies whether
on-site, in transit, or stored off-site and with respect to temporary
structures, hoists, sidewalks, retaining walls, and underground
property;
(B) Soft
Costs, plans, specifications, blueprints and models in connection with any
restoration following a casualty;
(C) demolition
and increased cost of construction, including, without limitation, increased
costs arising out of changes in Applicable Law and codes;
(D) operation
of building laws;
(E) collapse,
transit and testing; and
54
(F) delayed
opening coverage on an actual loss sustained basis with extended period of
indemnity endorsement consistent with Section 3.1(1)(c).
(e) workers’
compensation insurance, as required by any Governmental Authority or legal
requirement, subject to the statutory limits of the state of
California;
(f) comprehensive
boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably
required by the Administrative Agent on terms consistent with the commercial
property insurance policy required under Section 3.1(1)(a);
(g) if
any
portion of the improvements is at any time located in an area identified
by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an
area
having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act
of
1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance
Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the
“Flood
Insurance Acts”),
flood
hazard insurance in an amount not less than the greater of (A) the maximum
limit of coverage available with respect to the Project, under Policies issued
pursuant to the Flood Insurance Acts, subject only to customary deductibles
under such Policies, and (B) the maximum limit of coverage available with
respect to the Project, under Policies issued by private insurance
carriers;
(h) [reserved];
(i) umbrella
liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence
on
terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required
under Section 3.1(1)(b)
hereof;
(j) insurance
with respect to the General Contractor, the Major Subcontractors, Borrower’s
Architect and other Design Professionals as specified in Schedule 3.1(1)(j)
attached
hereto; and
(k) such
other insurance and in such amounts as the Administrative Agent from time
to
time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at
the
time are available on commercially reasonably terms for properties located
in or
around the City of Irvine, County of Orange, California, and are customarily
required by institutional lenders with respect to projects similar to the
Project.
(2) All
insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a)
hereof
shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies”
or
in
the singular, the “Policy”),
in
such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts
as may
be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound
and
responsible insurance companies permitted to do business in the state of
California and reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent. The insurance
companies must have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of
“AX”
(or its equivalent) or better by A.M. Best (each such insurer shall be
referred to below as a “Qualified
Insurer”).
If a
Policy shall contain an exclusion from coverage under such Policy for loss
or
damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism (excluding bio-terrorism)
or
similar acts of sabotage, Borrower shall obtain separate terrorism insurance
coverage subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(2).
Borrower shall maintain insurance against
55
terrorism,
terrorist acts (excluding bio-terrorism) or similar acts of sabotage with
coverage amounts of not less than an amount equal to the full replacement
cost
of the improvements and the personal property. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain terrorism
insurance for a comprehensive all risk insurance policy and business income
insurance coverage in an amount not less than the amount of terrorism insurance
that is available for an annual premium equal to two (2) times the then annual
property casualty premium (such limitation shall be referred to as the
“Terrorism
Cap”)
for
terrorism insurance that is at least equivalent to the existing terrorism
insurance required under this Section
3.1(2)
for a
comprehensive all risk insurance policy and business income insurance coverage;
provided,
however,
the
Terrorism Cap shall not apply if (A) owners and/or operators of office
properties in the same class as the Project and located in Orange County,
California are generally obtaining terrorism insurance at a cost which exceeds
the Terrorism Cap, (B) lenders financing such office properties in the same
class as the Project and located in Orange County, California are generally
requiring terrorism insurance at a cost which exceeds the Terrorism Cap as
a
condition of financing, or (C) Borrower, any Affiliates of Borrower, any
transferee of Borrower, or any of their Affiliates, are obtaining terrorism
insurance at a cost which exceeds the Terrorism Cap on any other properties
located in Orange County, California which any of the foregoing Persons own
or
operate. Not
less
than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies
theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(1)
hereof,
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent insurance certificates
showing payment of all premiums (the “Insurance
Premiums”)
for
such Policies, which certificates shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Within sixty (60) days following
the expiration dates of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent certified copies of such Policies marked “premium paid” or
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of payment
of
the Insurance Premiums.
(3) Borrower
shall not obtain (a) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy
unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by the
Administrative Agent and Lenders’ interest is included therein as provided in
this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or
(b) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of
loss with that required in Section 3.1(1)
to be
furnished by, or which may be required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the
event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy,
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the same and shall cause
certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 3.1(1).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section
3.1,
Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it approves (i) provided that Borrower
remains in compliance with its obligations under this Article with respect
to
the maintenance of insurance, the terms of the existing Property Insurance
Sharing Agreement among Borrower and certain of its Affiliates, and (ii)
provided that Borrower remains in compliance with its obligations under this
Article with respect to the maintenance of insurance, that the insurance
premiums are financed through one or more financing companies (individually
and/or collectively, the “Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement”)
to
whom Borrower pays Borrower’s allocable share of the annual initial deposit and
the monthly payments due for each blanket policy to the applicable finance
company (with respect to each blanket policy, such monthly payment, together
with one-twelfth (1/12th)
of the
allocable share of the annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such
allocable share for such policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due
date,
each a “Financing
Installment”);
provided
that,
56
notwithstanding
clause
(i)
or
(ii)
above,
all insurance proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the terms set
forth
in this Article
III.
(4) All
Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 3.1(1)
hereof,
except for the Policy referenced in Section 3.1(1)(e),
shall
name the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) as additional
insured under liability policies and as mortgagee/loss payee under property
policies, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property,
boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so called
New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, or its equivalent, in
favor of the Administrative Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall
be
payable to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(5) All
Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a)
hereof
shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(a) no
willful act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or
failure
to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result
in a
forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect
the
validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as the Administrative
Agent
is concerned;
(b) the
Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written
notice (or ten (10) days’ written notice, in the case of non payment of
premium) to the Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as
an
insured;
(c) each
Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to
the
Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days
prior to its expiration; and
(d) the
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon
or
subject to any assessments thereunder.
(6) If
at any
time the Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that
all
insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, on five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrower
to take such action as the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect
its
interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of
such
insurance coverage as the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping
it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to the Administrative Agent upon demand
and until paid shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate.
(7) In
the
event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to Project
in
extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans, all right, title and interest
of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable
thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lenders
or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
57
(8) Borrower
shall give immediate written notice of any loss in excess of $500,000 to
the
insurance carrier and to the Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, as attorney in fact for
Borrower coupled with an interest, to make proof of loss, to adjust and
compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute
any
action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance
proceeds, and to deduct therefrom the Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred
in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(8),
however, shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to incur any
expense or take any action hereunder.
Section 3.2 Condemnation
Awards.
Borrower shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent of the institution
of
any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking of the Project or any
portion thereof. The Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceeding
and Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent all instruments necessary
or required by the Administrative Agent to permit such participation. Without
the Administrative Agent’s prior consent (subject to the approval of the
Majority Lenders), Borrower (1) shall not agree to any compensation or
award, and (2) shall not take any action or fail to take any action which
would cause the compensation to be determined. All awards and compensation
for
the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of the Project or any part
thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to the Administrative Agent.
Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to collect and receive such
awards
and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and
in the
Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion (which the Administrative
Agent shall exercise at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to apply the
same
toward the payment of the Loans, notwithstanding that the Loans may not then
be
due and payable, or to the restoration of the Project; provided,
however,
if the
award is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount and Borrower requests
that
such proceeds be used for non structural site improvements (such as landscape,
driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) required to be made as a result
of
such condemnation, the Administrative Agent will apply the award to such
restoration in accordance with disbursement procedures applicable to insurance
proceeds set forth in Section 3.3
provided
there exists no Potential Default or Event of Default. Borrower, upon request
by
the Administrative Agent, shall execute all instruments requested to confirm
the
assignment of the awards and compensation to the Administrative Agent, free
and
clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances.
Section 3.3 Use
and Application of Insurance Proceeds.
The
Administrative Agent shall apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring
the
Project or the Loans as follows:
(1) if
the
loss is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Administrative Agent
shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided (a) no Event of
Default exists, and (b) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently
pursuing restoration of the Project;
(2) if
the
loss exceeds the Threshold Amount but is not more than ten percent (10%)
of the
replacement value of the improvements (for projects containing multiple phases
or stand alone structures, such calculation to be based on the damaged phase
or
structure, not the project as a whole), the Administrative Agent shall apply
the
insurance proceeds to restoration provided that at all times during such
restoration (a) no Event of Default or Potential Default
58
exists;
(b) the Administrative Agent determines that there are sufficient funds
available to restore and repair the Project to a condition approved by the
Administrative Agent; (c) the Administrative Agent determines that the net
operating income of the Project during restoration will be sufficient to
pay
debt service on the Loans (taking into account available interest reserves
under
the Loan); (d) the Administrative Agent determines (based on leases which
will remain in effect after restoration is complete) that after restoration
the
Pro Forma Debt Service Coverage Ratio will be at least 1.25:1; (e) the
Administrative Agent determines that restoration and repair of the Project
to a
condition approved by the Administrative Agent will be completed within six
months after the date of loss or casualty and in any event ninety (90) days
prior to the Maturity Date; (f) Borrower promptly commences and is
diligently pursuing restoration of the Project, subject to Unavoidable Delay;
provided that the Construction Work is completed by the Completion Date;
and
(g) if still applicable, the Administrative Agent shall have unilaterally
determined that the Completion Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect
during the period of restoration, or the Guarantor shall have executed and
delivered to the Administrative Agent a guarantee of completion with respect
to
all restoration in substantially the same form as the Completion Guaranty
and
otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
and
(3) if
the
conditions set forth above are not satisfied or the loss exceeds the maximum
amount specified in Section 3.3(2)
above,
in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, the Administrative
Agent may (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders) apply any insurance
proceeds it may receive to the payment of the Loans or allow all or a portion
of
such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Project, and if the
Administrative Agent elects to apply the proceeds to pay down the Loans,
then
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) direct Borrower
to
terminate any Lease that Borrower is permitted to terminate as a result of
such
casualty or condemnation, if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes
that
the conditions giving rise to Borrower’s right to terminate such Lease as result
of such casualty or condemnation then exist, and Borrower shall deliver such
notices of termination to the tenants under such Leases in accordance with
their
respective terms.
Section 3.4 Disbursement
of Proceeds.
(1) The
insurance proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the
Casualty/Taking Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement
and,
until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4,
shall
constitute additional security for the Loans. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that all the conditions
precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 3.3(2)
above,
have been satisfied, the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed by the
Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during
the course of the restoration in substantially the same manner and subject
to
similar conditions as if such advances were being made in connection with
a
construction loan, such manner of disbursement and conditions to be determined
by the Administrative Agent, including the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
(A) advice from a Restoration Consultant (who shall be employed by the
Administrative Agent at Borrower’s sole expense) that the work completed or
materials installed conform to said budget and plans, as approved by the
Administrative Agent, (B) evidence that all materials installed and work
and labor performed to the date of the applicable advance (except to the
extent
that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection
with the restoration have been paid for in full, including the receipt of
waivers of lien, contractor’s
59
certificates,
surveys, receipted bills, releases, title policy endorsements and such other
evidences of cost, payment and performance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, and (C) evidence that there exist no notices of pendency, stop
orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same,
or any other Liens of any nature whatsoever on the Project which are not
being
contested or have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction
of
the Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully
insured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent under
the
title policy obtained in connection with the Loans made herein.
(2) All
plans
and specifications required in connection with the restoration shall be subject
to prior review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)
in
all respects by the Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting
engineer selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Restoration
Consultant”).
The
Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and
all
permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the restoration, as well as all contracts having a cost in excess
of
$500,000, shall be subject to prior review and approval by the Administrative
Agent and the Restoration Consultant. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with making the
insurance proceeds available for the restoration including reasonable counsel
fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by
Borrower. Borrower shall also obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all
necessary government approvals as and when required in connection with such
restoration and provide copies thereof to the Administrative Agent and
Restoration Consultant.
(3) In
no
event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of
the
insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred
from time to time for work in place as part of the restoration, as certified
by
the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term
“Restoration
Retainage”
shall
mean the greater of (i) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs
actually incurred for work in place as part of the restoration, as certified
by
the Restoration Consultant and (ii) the amount actually held back by
Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the
restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the
Restoration Consultant certifies to the Administrative Agent that the
restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 3.4,
subject
to punch-list items and other non-material items of work and that all approvals
necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Project have been obtained
from
all appropriate governmental authorities, and the Administrative Agent receives
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the costs
of
the restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Restoration Retainage; provided,
however,
that
the Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage
being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged
in the restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant
certifies to the Administrative Agent that such contractor, subcontractor
or
materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials
in accordance with its contract, and the Administrative Agent receives lien
waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor,
subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the title policy, and
the
Administrative Agent receives an endorsement to the title policy insuring
the
continued priority of the lien of the
60
Mortgage
and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required
by the Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Restoration
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued
a
payment or performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor
or
materialman.
(4) The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the
insurance proceeds more frequently than once per month.
(5) If
at any
time the insurance proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not,
in the
reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent in consultation with the
Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs
which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection
with the completion of the restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency
(the “Insurance
Proceeds Deficiency”)
with
the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the
Administrative Agent’s request and before any further disbursement of the
insurance proceeds shall be made. The Insurance Proceeds Deficiency shall
be
held in the Casualty/Taking Account in accordance with the Cash Management
Agreement and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection
with
the restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of
the
insurance proceeds, and, until so disbursed, shall constitute additional
security for the Loans.
(6) All
insurance proceeds not required to be made available for the restoration
above may (i) be retained and applied by the Administrative Agent toward
the payment of the Loans, whether or not then due and payable, in such order,
priority and proportions as the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion shall deem proper, or, (ii) at the sole and absolute discretion
of the Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in
part,
to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as the Administrative
Agent shall designate.
(7) Notwithstanding
any casualty, Borrower shall continue to make payments with respect to the
outstanding principal amount in the manner provided in the Notes, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the outstanding principal amount shall not
be
reduced unless and until (i) any insurance proceeds or condemnation award
shall have been actually received by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have deducted its reasonable expenses of collecting
such proceeds and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have applied any
portion of the balance thereof to the repayment of the outstanding principal
amount in accordance with Section 4.3.
The
Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on any condemnation award
but
shall continue to be entitled to receive interest as provided in Article 2.

or
62
(xii) make

as
Exhibit F,
but no
more frequently than once in each calendar month.
(2) Each
Request for Loan Advance shall (a) be duly executed by an Authorized
Officer on behalf of Borrower, (b) be submitted to the Administrative Agent
and the Construction Consultant not less than ten (10) Business Days prior
to the proposed disbursement date for such Loans, (c) specify the items to
be paid or reimbursed with the proceeds of the requested Loans, (d) include
the documentation required to be included therewith under Schedule 4
and
(e) be in the minimum amounts required under Section 2.8(4).
(3) All
advances of the Loans shall be made for the payment of Project Costs in
accordance with the Budget upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in this Article 4
and
Schedule 4
-
Parts A,
B,
and
C,
as
applicable.
(4) In
the
event Borrower does not request a disbursement within thirty (30) days
after the previous disbursement of a Loan, Borrower shall nonetheless within
such thirty (30) day period and during each subsequent thirty (30) day
period in which Borrower does not request a disbursement of the Loan, satisfy
the conditions precedent to disbursements set forth in this
Agreement.
Section 4.3 Loan
Balancing.
Borrower represents that the Budget sets forth all anticipated costs to be
incurred by Borrower in connection with the ownership, development,
construction, financing, marketing, maintenance and leasing of the Project
from
time to time through the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.5
hereof.
If at any time, the projected costs anticipated to be incurred for any
Construction Work included in any individual Budget Line Item exceeds the
amount
set forth in the Budget for such individual
63
Budget
Line Item (as the same may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and taking into account (provided that no “Event of Default” then
exists under (and as such term is defined in) the Minimum Equity Guaranty)
a
credit for all portions of the Delayed Equity Contribution for which the
Guarantor remains liable under the Minimum Equity Guaranty), as determined
by
the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable
discretion (including any such determination that the undisbursed Loan proceeds
allocated for the payment of future interest, including any Additional Interest
(the “Interest
Reserve”)
is
insufficient) based on any factors whatsoever, including (1) the
Administrative Agent’s projections of interest rates for period(s) up to and
including the full remaining term of the Loan (and permitted extensions);
(2) the effect of any Hedge Agreement; (3) cost overruns or Change
Orders; or (4) failure of the Improvements to lease at the rate of
absorption or otherwise at rates and terms projected by Borrower, then the
Loans
shall be deemed not “In Balance.” If the Loans are deemed not “In Balance,” then
Borrower shall, at the Administrative Agent’s option, within ten (10)
Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent either
(a) deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount sufficient to cover
such deficiency (a “Deficiency
Deposit”),
which
Deficiency Deposit shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent in the
Controlled Account or (b) make one or more equity contributions to be used
by Borrower to pay costs that will bring the Loans In Balance (an “Equity
Balancing Contribution”),
including contributions to pay future interest and Additional Interest. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to authorize any disbursement
of any
Loans before receiving (i) payment of any such Deficiency Deposit and
the
prior
application of such Deficiency Deposit to the payment of Project Costs so
as to
bring the Loans In Balance or (ii) verification (in a manner consistent
with the verification of the use of other equity contributions of Borrower
in
accordance with Schedule 4)
that an
Equity Balancing Contribution has been made and the proceeds thereof used
for
the payment of Project Costs so as to bring the Loans In Balance. Failure
of
Borrower to provide satisfactory verification of an Equity Balancing
Contribution as required above shall be deemed Borrower’s election to make a
Deficiency Deposit. The amounts available within the line items for Hard
Costs
Contingency and Soft Costs Contingency from time to time shall be deemed
to be
costs for purposes of determining whether the Loans are In Balance. So long
as
the events referred to in the second sentence of this Section 4.3
do not
exist, the Loans shall be deemed “In Balance”. If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions
of
Section 14.3)
may, at
its option, in addition to exercising any other rights or remedies available
under the Loan Documents, (A) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to
the costs of completion of the Improvements and/or (B) apply any unexpended
Deficiency Deposit to the immediate reduction of any amounts due under the
Notes
and the other Loan Documents.
Section 4.4 Budget
Contingencies.
The
Budget contains line items designated for contingency (a) for Hard Costs
(“Hard
Costs Contingency”),
the
amount of which Hard Cost Contingency shall be equal to five percent (5%)
of the
amount for Hard Costs, and (b) Soft Costs (the “Soft
Costs Contingency”)
the
amount of which Soft Cost Contingency shall be equal to five percent (5%)
of the
amount for Soft Costs, in each case, relating to the uncompleted portion
of the
Construction Work as of the Closing Date and taking into account the amount
of
contingency set forth in the General Contract. The Hard Costs Contingency
and
the Soft Costs Contingency shall collectively be referred to as the
“Contingency
Fund”,
which
represent amounts necessary to provide reasonable assurances to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that funds are available within the
Budget
if additional costs, expenses and/or delays
64
are
incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loans, or other unanticipated
events or problems occur. The Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable
discretion, re-allocate the required amount of the Contingency Fund to other
Budget Line Items from time to time. Upon request of Borrower, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to do so), from time
to
time in its sole and absolute discretion, disburse the Contingency Fund or
portions thereof to Borrower (thereby reducing the amount of the same) for
use
under the Budget Line Items to which they are re-allocated (subject to the
provisions of the preceding sentence). Borrower agrees that the decisions
with
respect to utilizing any portion of the Contingency Fund shall be made by
the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and that the Loans may
not be
In Balance, and Borrower may be required to make a Deficiency Deposit or
Equity
Balancing Contribution, even if funds remain in the Contingency
Fund.
Section 4.5 Budget
Line Items.
The
Budget includes as line items (collectively, “Budget
Line Items”)
the
cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed
for the
completion of all Construction Work, and all other costs, fees and expenses
relating to the Construction Work and the operation of the Project. Borrower
agrees that all Loans shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which
such Loans are made (as re-allocated from time to time in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement). Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may,
at
any time and from time to time without prior written notice to Borrower,
authorize the disbursement of the Budget Line Items for the purposes for
which
they have been set aside, or for any other purposes related to the Construction
Work or otherwise provided for in the Budget as the Administrative Agent
may
determine, either by payment of such items or by reimbursement to Borrower
for
payments actually made by Borrower for such items. The Administrative Agent
shall not be obligated to authorize the disbursement of any amount for any
category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the
amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item. Subject
to the Administrative Agent’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower may apply savings from one Budget
Line Item to cost overruns in another Budget Line Item or to the Contingency
Fund, or to any other unbudgeted Project Cost provided (a) there are no
Events of Defaults existing, (b) all costs to be paid out of the Budget
Line Item from which funds are being re-allocated have been paid or sufficient
sums remain in said line item to pay such costs when the same become due,
(c) said savings are actual savings and are documented to the satisfaction
of the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable
discretion, (d) such reallocation will not violate the provisions of the
Lien Law or affect the priority of the Mortgage on the Project and (e) the
Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, obtains CLTA
Endorsement No. 101.11 or equivalent to the Title Policy insuring against
any
loss by reason of the establishment of priority over the lien of the Mortgage
of
any statutory lien for services, labor or materials arising out of any work
of
improvement under construction or completed on or prior to the date of such
endorsement , as a result of the reallocation of such Budget Line
Item.
Section 4.6 Interest;
Fees; and Expenses.
(1) Included
in the Budget are projected amounts for (a) interest on the Loans,
(b) the Agency Fee, (c) the fees and expenses of the Construction
Consultant, the Administrative Agent’s counsel and the Title Company and
(d) the fees and expenses related to the recording of the Mortgage. Subject
to Borrower’s compliance with all of the conditions set forth in
65
Schedule 4
and this
Article 4,
Borrower may in any Request for Loan Advance request advances for the purpose
of
paying the aforesaid items due at such time, in which event the Administrative
Agent shall be authorized and is hereby directed to disburse the amount thereof
to the Persons entitled to such payments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower
shall
not have the right to request the advance of any Loans for any items covered
by
clauses (a)
through
(d)
above
to the
extent Net Cash Flow is available to pay such items.
(2) Borrower
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any
Loan
to pay (a) interest accrued on the Notes, (b) the Agency Fees,
(c) the fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, the
Administrative Agent’s counsel and the Title Company, (d) any expenses
payable in accordance with Section 12.5,
and
(e) any Date Down Endorsements, notwithstanding that Borrower may not have
requested a disbursement of such amounts.
(3) Subject
to the provisions of Section 14.3,
the
Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may (but shall not
be
obligated to do so) direct the Lenders to make such Loans for disbursements
authorized under this Section 4.6
notwithstanding that the Loans are not In Balance or that a Potential Default
or
Event of Default exists under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. Such disbursements shall constitute a Loan and be added to the
principal balance of the Notes, and the Lenders shall make the applicable
Loans
to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable,
and no further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for
the
Lenders to make such disbursements. Nothing contained in this Section 4.6
shall
require the Administrative Agent to direct the Lenders to make Loans for
payment
of any of the items set forth in subsection (2)
above if
the other conditions set forth in this Agreement for Loans are not
satisfied.
Section 4.7 Retainage.
(1) Disbursement
of
the
available proceeds of each Loan with respect only to Hard Costs and Tenant
Improvement Work shall be limited to ninety percent (90%) of the value of
the
Hard Costs and Tenant Improvement Work set forth in the applicable Request
for
Loan Advance until fifty percent (50%) of the work covered by a particular
contract has been completed (as determined by the Construction Consultant,
and,
thereafter, the amount disbursed shall be increased to ninety-five percent
(95%)
of the Hard Costs and Tenant Improvement Work performed under that particular
contract), with the remainder of the sums due for the work performed under
such
contract to be withheld and disbursed in compliance with Section 4.7(2)
below;
provided, however, that (a) in no event shall the percentage of the sums
due which is withheld be less than the retainage percentage set forth in
any
contract or subcontract for such portion of the Improvements or any applicable
lease with respect to Tenant Improvement Work and (b) if the Administrative
Agent has, in its sole and absolute discretion, approved a contract or lease
requiring less than ten percent (10%) of retainage, then the Administrative
Agent shall disburse the proceeds of a Loan for more than ninety percent
(90%)
of the value of the Hard Costs and Tenant Improvement Work as required under
any
such contract or lease. The amounts authorized to be withheld pursuant to
this
paragraph (1)
being
collectively referred to herein as the “Retainage.”
No
Retainage will apply to Soft Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section
4.7(1)
to the
contrary, the General Contractor shall have the right to maintain a ten percent
(10%) retainage under the terms of the General Contract.
66
(2) The
Lenders shall advance Loans pursuant to a Request for Loan Advance to pay
portions of the Retainage with respect to (a) each contract (including a
Major Subcontract) prior to the completion of all Completion Work and
(b) as to each Approved Lease for which advances for Hard Costs have been

Administrative Agent receives a certification to that effect from an Authorized
Officer of Borrower and Borrower’s Architect and such work has been approved by
the Construction Consultant;

required by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have
received copies of any warranties, guaranties or “as built” drawings relating to
the work performed by each such contractor, subcontractor, materialman or

Work, as the case may be; and
(f) all
other
applicable requirements and conditions with respect to such advance of Loan
proceeds are satisfied.

If the
Construction Consultant or the Administrative Agent shall determine that
a
portion of the Construction Work for which Loans are sought is Unsatisfactory
Work, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (1) withhold from such
Loans amounts sufficient to pay for the Unsatisfactory Work and (2) if such
Unsatisfactory Work is significant such that the failure to correct the same
will have a Material Adverse Effect, require the Construction Work to be
stopped
until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant
are
satisfied that the Unsatisfactory Work is corrected. No such action by the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to affect Borrower’s obligation to complete
the Improvements on or before the Completion Date. The Lenders shall, subject
to
compliance by Borrower with all other applicable requirements of this Agreement,
be required to make Loans with respect to such Unsatisfactory Work only after
the Construction Consultant and the Administrative Agent shall have determined
that the work which had been identified as Unsatisfactory Work has been
corrected to the satisfaction of the Construction Consultant and the
Administrative Agent.
Section 4.12 Direct
Loan Advances by the Administrative Agent.
The
Lenders shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, advance all or
any
part of any particular Loan either (1) to Borrower for disbursement in
accordance with a Request for Loan Advance, (2) if an Event of Default
exists, directly to the General Contractor, a Major Subcontractor, other
contractor, subcontractor, material supplier or other party any costs payable
to
such party, (3) if an Event of Default exists, at Borrower’s expense, to
the Title Company which shall pay said monies to the parties as so instructed
by
the Administrative Agent and (4) if applicable, as contemplated by
Section 1.01(d)
of the
Completion Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by the
Guarantor or the Administrative Agent). The execution of this Agreement by
Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable
73
authorization
to the Lenders to make such direct advances provided for in clauses (2),
(3)
and
(4)
above
and no further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant
such
direct advances, and all such direct advances shall be secured by the Security
Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the
disposition thereof by any party so paid. At the Administrative Agent’s request,
any advance of Loan proceeds made by and through the Title Company may be
made
pursuant to the provisions of a construction escrow agreement in the form
then
in use by such company with such modifications thereto as are reasonably
required by the Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to join as a party
to such
escrow agreement and to comply with the requirements set forth therein (which
shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the requirements contained
in this Agreement) and to pay the fees and expenses of the Title Company
charged
in connection with the performance of its duties under such construction
escrow
agreement.
Section 4.13 No
Waiver or Approval by Reason of Loan Advances.
The
making of any Loans by the Lenders shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval
by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (for the benefit of Borrower or
any
third party) of the Construction Work or other work theretofore done or
constructed or to the Lenders’ obligations to make further Loans, nor, in the
event Borrower is unable to satisfy any condition, shall any such failure
to
insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event
of
Default as herein provided. The Administrative Agent’s and/or the Lenders’
waiver of, or failure to enforce, any conditions to or requirements associated
with any Loans in any one or more circumstances shall not constitute or imply
a
waiver of such conditions or requirements in any other
circumstances.
Section 4.14 Construction
Consultant.
The
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) reserves the right to employ
the
Construction Consultant and any other consultants necessary, in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, to review Requests for Loan Advance
and inspect all construction and the periodic progress of the same, the
reasonable cost therefor to be borne by Borrower as a loan expense. Borrower
shall make available to the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant
on reasonable notice during business hours, all documents and other information
(including, without limitation, receipts, invoices, lien waivers and other
supporting documentation to substantiate the costs to be paid with the proceeds
of any Request for Loan Advance) which any contractor or other Person entitled
to payment for Construction Work is required to deliver to Borrower and shall
use its best efforts to obtain any further documents or information reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant in
connection with any Loan or the administration of this Agreement. Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Construction Consultant shall have no
responsibilities or duties to Borrower, and shall be employed solely for
the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No default of Borrower
will
be waived by an inspection by the Administrative Agent or the Construction
Consultant. In no event will any inspection by the Administrative Agent or
the
Construction Consultant be a representation that there has been or will be
compliance with the Plans and Specifications or that the Construction Work
is
free from defective materials or workmanship. Any and all provisions of this
Agreement in respect of the Construction Consultant shall be enforceable
solely
by, and at the option of, the Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall not
be a
third-party beneficiary thereof. Any and all reports, advice or other
information provided by the Construction Consultant to the Administrative
Agent
and/or the Lenders or otherwise produced by or in the
74
possession
of the Construction Consultant shall be confidential and Borrower shall have
no
right to obtain or review same.
Section 4.15 Authorization
to Make Loan Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults.
If an
Event of Default shall occur, the Administrative Agent (subject to the
provisions of Section 14.3)
may
(but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements
with
respect to which Borrower is in an Event of Default. Any amounts expended
by the
Administrative Agent in so doing and any amounts expended by the Administrative
Agent in connection therewith shall constitute a Loan and be added to the
outstanding principal balance of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make the
applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby
granted is irrevocable, and no prior notice to or further direction or
authorization from Borrower is necessary for the Administrative Agent to
make
such disbursements.
Section 4.16 Administrative
Agent’s Right to Make Loan Advances in Compliance with the Completion
Guaranty.
Any
Loan proceeds disbursed by the Administrative Agent as contemplated by
Section 1.01(c)
of the
Completion Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by the
Guarantor or the Administrative Agent) shall constitute a Loan and be added
to
the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make
the
applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby
granted is irrevocable and no prior notice to or further direction or
authorization from Borrower is necessary for the Administrative Agent to
make
such disbursements.
Section 4.17 No
Third-Party Benefit.
This
Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and
Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of the Lenders to make advances
hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Lenders
and
may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by the Lenders at any
time
if in their sole and absolute discretion they deem it advisable to do so,
and no
Person other than Borrower (provided,
however,
that
all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing to require the Lenders
to make any Loan advances or shall be a beneficiary of this Agreement or
any
advances to be made hereunder.

Adverse
Effect.
(2) All
Government Approvals necessary in connection with the construction and operation
of the Project as contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Project Documents
have, other than those Governmental Approvals to be obtained after the date
hereof in accordance with Section
7.6(5),
been
duly obtained, were validly issued, are in full force and effect, are not
subject to appeal, are held in the name of Borrower (in the case of the
Project), are free from conditions or requirements, the compliance with which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which Borrower
does not reasonably expect will be able to be satisfied in the ordinary course
of business, and are assignable to and assumable by the successors in interest
and transferees of Borrower and run with the land.
(3) There
is
no proceeding pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, that seeks, or
may reasonably be expected, to rescind, terminate, modify or suspend any
such
Government Approval.
(4) The
information set forth in each application and other written material submitted
by the Borrower Parties and, to Borrower’s knowledge, any third parties, to the
applicable Governmental Authority in connection with each such Government
Approval is accurate and complete in all material respects.

in
connection with later stages of development, construction or operation of
the
Improvements and are not customarily obtained until a later stage of development
or construction, and shall be obtained on or prior to the date when so required.

yet
been obtained by Borrower, but which will be required in the future, will
not be
granted in due course, on or prior to the date when required and free from
any
condition or requirement, compliance with which could reasonably be expected
to
have a Material Adverse Effect or which Borrower does not reasonably expect
will
be able to be satisfied in the ordinary course of business.
(6) The
Project (if constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and
the
Project Documents) will conform to and comply with all covenants, conditions,
restrictions and reservations in the Government Approvals and all Applicable
Law, except where the failure so to comply could not reasonably be expected
to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
82
(7) Borrower
has no reason to believe that the Administrative Agent, acting for the benefit
of the Lenders, will not be entitled, without undue expense or delay, to
the
benefit of each Government Approval with respect to the Project upon the
exercise of remedies under the Security Documents.
(8) Borrower
has delivered to the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of each

Giving
effect to the Loans, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and
will, immediately following the making of the Loans, exceed Borrower’s total
liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed
and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loans, be greater than Borrower’s
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
on its Debts as such Debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not
and, immediately following the making of the Loans will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed
to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it
will,
incur Debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Debts as they mature (taking
into
account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the
amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

No
statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower or any Borrower Party
in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, statement
or questionnaire delivered by Borrower or any Borrower Party in connection
with
the Loans contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
any
material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower or any Borrower
Party
which has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent which adversely

subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and (2) security interests in and
to, and collateral assignments of, all personality (including the Leases),
all
in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any
applicable Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant
to the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or
materials affecting the Project which are or may become a Lien prior to,
or of
equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the
Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere

General Partner is conveyed, assigned, sold or otherwise disposed of, whether
in
one or a series of transactions, to any Person or Persons acting as a group,
and
as a result thereof, such Person or Persons have the power to elect, appoint
or
cause the election or appointment of at least a majority of the members of
the
Board of Directors of Borrower’s Managing Member’s General Partner, through
beneficial ownership of the capital stock of Borrower’s General Partner’s

and
“Controlling”
each

(6) Without
limiting the provisions of this Section
9.1,
in
connection with any transfer permitted by this Section
9.1,
if any
such transfer results, directly or indirectly, in the ownership of ten percent
(10%) or more of the interests in Borrower, Borrower’s Managing Member or
Borrower’s Managing Member’s General Partner by any Person not currently the

include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and
formation of transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or
members of transferee and updated organizational charts reflecting such
transfer, as well as all other documents and information reasonably requested
by
the Administrative Agent (including such documents as it may require to confirm
that such proposed transfer will satisfy the requirements of this Agreement
for
a transfer to an Approved Transferee, and for the Administrative Agent and
each
Lender to undertake and approve such background checks and satisfy such
“know-your-customer” requirements as may be required to be performed by it);
(b) The
Administrative Agent shall have determined that such proposed transfer will
not
result in any violation of the provisions of Section
9.6
or
9.21;
(c) The
Administrative Agent shall have determined that, after giving effect to any
such
proposed transfer, the representations and covenants of Borrower set forth
in
Sections
7.13
and
7.16
of this
Agreement shall be true and correct as if made immediately after giving effect
thereto; and
(d) Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders all actual
costs
and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in connection
with any transfer.
Section 9.2 Taxes;
Charges.
Borrower shall pay before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added
thereto, and shall not enter into any agreement to defer, any real estate
taxes
and assessments, franchise taxes and charges, and other governmental charges
that may become a Lien upon the Project or become payable during the term
of the
Loans (collectively, the “Taxes”),
and
will promptly furnish the Administrative Agent with evidence of such payment;
however, Borrower’s compliance with Section 4.1
of this
Agreement relating to impounds for taxes and assessments shall, with respect
to
payment of such taxes and assessments, be deemed compliance with this
Section 9.2.
From
and after the completion of processing of the deeds to PS2 and PS5 and the
creation of separate tax lots by the assessor’s office of Orange County,
California, Borrower shall not suffer or permit the joint assessment of the
Project with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot or with
any
other real or personal property. Borrower shall pay when due all claims and
demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid,
might
result in a Lien on the Project; however, Borrower may contest the validity
of
such claims and demands or taxes so long as (1) Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent that it intends to contest such claim or demand,
(2) Borrower provides the Administrative Agent with an indemnity, bond or
other security satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (including an
endorsement to the Administrative Agent’s title insurance policy insuring
against such claim or demand) assuring the discharge of Borrower’s obligations
for such claims and demands, including interest and penalties, and
(3) Borrower is diligently contesting the same by appropriate legal
proceedings in good faith and at its own expense and concludes such contest
prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the earlier
93
to
occur
of the Maturity Date or the date on which the Project is scheduled to be
sold
for non payment.
Section 9.3 Control;
Management.
(1) Borrower
shall cause the Project to be managed by a Qualified Manager engaged by Borrower
and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent or another property manager
engaged by the Borrower and acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole
and
absolute discretion. Administrative Agent hereby approves of Xxxxxxx Properties,
L.P. as the Manager and the Management Agreement dated as of the Closing
Date.
The Manager shall manage the Project pursuant to a management agreement approved
by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and no Manager shall
be
engaged prior to approval of such management agreement. The Manager shall
be
entitled to receive a management fee of not more than three percent (3%)
of
total Operating Revenues. The Manager shall deliver an executed Subordination
of
Management Agreement, which shall provide, among other things, that the
Management Agreement is subordinate to Administrative Agent’s lien arising under
the Mortgage and all of Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the
Project and the Loan Documents and that Administrative Agent may terminate
and
replace the Manager with an independent third-party property manager if:
(a) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Manager is in default
of its obligations under the Management Agreement and such default has not
been
cured within the applicable cure periods set forth therein, or (c) the Manager
becomes insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding. Any change
in
ownership or Control of the Manager shall be cause for Administrative Agent
to
re-approve such Manager and Management Agreement, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If at any time Administrative
Agent consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and
Borrower shall, as a condition of Administrative Agent’s consent, execute a
Subordination of Management Agreement. Each manager shall hold and maintain
all
necessary licenses, certifications and permits required by law. Prior to
the
execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of any Subordination of
Management Agreement, Borrower shall deliver such authorizations or resolutions
and incumbency certificates of Manager and opinions relating to such
Subordination of Management Agreement as reasonably requested by Administrative
Agent.
(2) Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, as and when executed, certified
copies of all material maintenance, management, service, leasing and sales
contracts entered into with respect to the Project, each of which shall be
entered into with a party, and on terms and conditions, reasonably acceptable
to
the Administrative Agent, and contemporaneously with entering into each material
contract, at the Administrative Agent’s option, request the service provider
under each such contract to deliver to the Administrative Agent a Consent
and
Agreement or “will-serve” letter, on a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such service provider shall undertake,
inter alia, to continue performance on behalf of the Lenders following any
Event
of Default without additional cost (other than sums owed pursuant to such
contract for services thereafter rendered to or for the Administrative Agent
or
the Lenders at its or their request).
Section 9.4 Operation;
Inspection.
94
(1) Borrower
shall comply in all material respects (subject to such more stringent
requirements as may be set forth elsewhere herein) with all Applicable Laws.
Borrower shall maintain in full force and effect all Government Approvals
and
shall from time to time obtain all Government Approvals as shall now or
hereafter be necessary under Applicable Law in connection with the construction,
operation or maintenance of the Project or the execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower of any of the Project Documents to which it is a
party
and shall comply with all such Government Approvals and keep them in full
force
and effect. If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall promptly
furnish a true and complete copy of each such Government Approval to the
Administrative Agent. Borrower shall, unless otherwise approved by the
Administrative Agent, use its reasonable efforts to contest any proceedings
before any Governmental Authority and to resist any proposed adverse changes
in
Applicable Law to the extent that such proceedings or changes are directed
specifically toward the Project or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent and
the
Lenders and their agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable
prior
notice to Borrower, to inspect the Project and conduct such environmental
and
engineering studies as the Administrative Agent may require, provided such
inspections and studies do not materially interfere with the use and operation
of the Project.
(2) After
prior notice to the Administrative Agent, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest by appropriate legal proceedings promptly initiated and conducted
in
good faith and with due diligence, the validity or application of any Applicable
Law; provided that:
(a) no
monetary default or Event of Default exists;
(b) Borrower
shall pay any outstanding fines, penalties or other payments under protest
unless such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such items;
(c) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or the Project is subject
and shall not constitute a default thereunder;
(d) no
part
of or interest in the Project will be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, canceled or lost during the pendency of the proceeding;
(e) such
proceeding shall not subject Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to
criminal or civil liability (other than civil liability as to which adequate
security has been provided pursuant to clause (f)
below);
(f) unless
paid under protest, Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be
required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent, to insure the payment of any such items, together with
all
interest and penalties thereon, which shall not be less than 110% of the
maximum
liability of Borrower as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent;
and
(g) Borrower
shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of such items,
together with all costs, interest and penalties.

taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If there shall be
enacted any law (1) deducting the Loans from the value of the Project for
the purpose of taxation, (2) affecting any Lien on the Project, or
(3) changing existing laws of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust,
security deeds, or debts secured by real property, or changing the manner
of
collecting any such taxes, Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative
Agent, on demand, all taxes, costs and charges for which the Administrative
Agent or any Lender is or may be liable as a result thereof; however, if
such
payment would be prohibited by law or would render the Loans usurious, then
instead of collecting such payment, the Administrative Agent may (and on
the
request of the Majority Lenders shall) declare all amounts owing under the
Loan
Documents to be immediately due and payable.

action.

Agreements.
(1) Prior

in full force and effect a Hedge Agreement satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent in its sole and absolute discretion with (i) a Eurohypo Counterparty
or
(ii) one or more other banks or insurance companies (each a “Third-Party
Counterparty”),
which
effective upon the Closing Date, is sufficient to have the effect of capping
the
one-month LIBOR Rate at not in excess of five and one half percent (5.50%)
per
annum through the Maturity Date with respect to a notional amount which shall
increase over time so as to equal from time to time at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the balance of the Loans which is projected (based on
projections approved by the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date)
to
be outstanding on the fifteen (15th)
day of
each month during the period from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date.
Within ten (10) Business Days following each February 1 and August 1 during
the
period from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, Borrower shall, if
the
notional amount then covered by the Hedge Agreement(s) theretofore delivered
hereunder is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the then-outstanding
balance of the Loans, cause a supplemental Hedge Agreement to be delivered
to
the Administrative Agent in compliance with all the terms of this Section
9.15
but
under which the notional amount shall equal the amount by which seventy five
percent (75%) of the then-outstanding balance of the Loans exceeds the notional
amount then covered by the Hedge Agreement(s) theretofore delivered hereunder.
In addition, if the actual outstanding balance under the Loans exceeds as
of the
fifteen (15th)
day of
any month the amounts projected to be outstanding under the Loans as of such
date in the projection of outstanding balances theretofore approved by the
Administrative Agent under this Section
9.15
by more
than five percent (5%), and is forecast by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion to continue to exceed the previously projected amounts for any
subsequent month, Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days following the
Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall cause a supplemental Hedge
Agreement to be delivered to the Administrative Agent in compliance with
all the
terms of this Section
9.15
but
under which the notional amount in effect thereunder on the fifteen
(15th)
day of
each month through the Maturity Date shall equal seventy five percent (75%)
of
the difference between the amounts then projected by the Administrative Agent
to
be outstanding on the fifteen (15th)
day of
each such month and the notional amount to be in effect on the fifteen
(15th)
day of
each such month under the Hedge Agreement(s) theretofore delivered hereunder.
The Hedge Agreement shall require monthly payments to be based on a LIBOR
Rate
of interest having successive Interest Periods (an “Interest
Rate Hedge Period”)
of one
month or such other Interest Periods satisfactory to Administrative Agent
in its
sole and absolute discretion.
(2) Reserved
(3) Any
Hedge
Agreement with a Third-Party Counterparty is herein called a “Third-Party
Hedge Agreement.”
With
respect to each Third-Party Hedge Agreement: (i) the Third-Party
Counterparty providing such Third-Party Hedge Agreement must (a) have a long
term unsecured debt rating no lower than “A+” from S&P and (b) be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion;
(ii) the form and substance of such Third-Party Hedge Agreement must be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion
99
and
in
all respects; and (iii) the
Third-Party Counterparty providing such Third-Party Hedge Agreement must
enter
into a written agreement with the Administrative Agent (A) whereby such
Third-Party Counterparty acknowledges the collateral assignment of such
Third-Party Hedge Agreement to Administrative Agent as additional security
for
the Loan pursuant to the Hedge Agreement Pledge, and (B) which is otherwise
in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent in reasonable
discretion. Administrative Agent shall have the right to bid on any potential
Hedge Agreement on which Borrower solicits bids pursuant to Section 9.15(1).
(4) In
the
event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the
a
Third-Party Counterparty below “A+” by S&P, Borrower shall cause the Hedge
Party to replace the Hedge Agreement with a replacement Hedge Agreement meeting
the requirements of this Section 9.15
not
later than fifteen (15) Business Days after learning of such downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification.
(5) If
the
Hedge Party fails for any reason or cause whatsoever to secure a Hedge Agreement
or replacement Hedge Agreement as and when required to do so hereunder, such
failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Administrative Agent
shall
be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise, including the right
(but
not the obligation) of the Administrative Agent to secure or otherwise enter
into one or more Hedge Agreements with a Lender or other Third-Party
Counterparty for and on behalf of Borrower without such action constituting
a
cure of such Event of Default and without waiving the Administrative Agent’s or
Lenders’ rights arising out of or in connection with such Event of Default. If
the Administrative Agent shall enter into a Hedge Agreement with a Lender
or
other Third-Party Counterparty in accordance with its right to do so pursuant
to
this subsection (5),
then
(i) the terms and provisions of any such Hedge Agreement, including the
term thereof, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole
and
absolute discretion and (ii) Borrower shall pay all of the Administrative
Agent’s costs and expenses in connection therewith, including any fees charged
by the applicable counterparty and attorneys’ fees and
disbursements

shall cause all payments payable by a Third-Party Counterparty under the
Hedge
Agreement to be deposited into an account designated by the Administrative
Agent. If required by the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall obtain a direct
undertaking by the Third-Party Counterparty to pay the amounts due to the
Hedge
Party thereunder directly to such account on the dates such payments are
due. On
the due date for interest on the Loans each month, the amounts held in such
account shall be debited, and applied to pay the accrued but unpaid interest
on
the Loans due on such date, before applying any portion of the Loan proceeds
which is allocated to the Interest Reserve for such purpose, and before applying
any Operating Revenues for such purpose. If the Hedge Party has not entered
into
a Hedge Agreement prior to the execution of this Agreement, but subsequently
enters into one, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without
obtaining any further consent from the Lenders, to approve such adjustments
to
the Budget as may be deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion to reflect, as part of the Budget Line Item for Interest Reserve,
the
impact of the rights and obligations of the Hedge Party under the Hedge
Agreement.
(7) If
Borrower is entitled to receive a payment under any Hedge Agreement upon
a
termination thereof, such payment shall be delivered to the Administrative
Agent
and applied by the Administrative Agent to any amounts due to the Administrative
Agent or the
100
Lenders
under the Loan Documents in such order and priority as the Administrative
Agent
shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
(8) The
economic and other benefits of the Hedge Agreements secured by Borrower and
all
of the other rights of Borrower thereunder shall be collaterally assigned
to the
Administrative Agent as additional security for the Loans, pursuant to a
Hedge
Agreement Pledge. All Hedge Agreement Pledges shall be accompanied by
(i) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, in duplicate, with
respect to such pledges and (ii) the consent and agreement of the
counterparty thereunder that it will continue to perform its obligations
under
such Hedge Agreement for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders
after enforcement of and/or realization on such Hedge Agreement Pledge and
an
acknowledgement that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
assumed any of the obligations or duties of Borrower under any such Hedge
Agreement.
(9) In
connection with a Third-Party Hedge Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and
deliver
to the Administrative Agent a customary opinion from counsel (which counsel
may
be in-house counsel for the Third-Party Counterparty) for the Third-Party
Counterparty (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and
upon which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors
and assigns may rely).****
(a)
(10) If
any
Hedge Agreement delivered by Borrower to the Administrative Agent, shall
by its
terms, expire prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a replacement Hedge Agreement at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to the expiration date of the then current Hedge Agreement
which replacement Hedge Agreement shall be acceptable to the Administrative
Agent in its sole and absolute discretion and otherwise satisfy the requirements
of this Section 9.15.
(11) Other
than as expressly provided in the Budget, none of the proceeds of the Loans
shall be made available to make any payments that are due to be made by the
Hedge Party under any Hedge Agreement.
Section 9.16 Reserved.
Section 9.17 Handicapped
Access.
(1) Borrower
(a) agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
the Project shall at all times comply with the requirements of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, all
state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and all
rules,
regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation,
the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings
and
Facilities (collectively, “Access
Laws”)
and
(b) has no actual knowledge as to the Project’s non-compliance with any
Access Laws where the failure to so comply could have a material adverse
effect
on the Project or on Borrower’s ability to repay the Loans in accordance with
the terms hereof.
101
(2) Notwithstanding
any provisions set forth herein or in any other document regarding the
Administrative Agent’s approval of alterations of the Project, Borrower shall
not alter the Project in any manner which would materially increase Borrower’s
responsibilities for compliance with the applicable Access Laws without the
prior written approval of the Administrative Agent. The foregoing shall apply
to
tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants. The
Administrative Agent may condition any such approval upon receipt of a
certificate of Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer, or other
person reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(3) Borrower
agrees to give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of the receipt by
Borrower of any written complaints related to violation of any Access Laws
with
respect to the Project and of the commencement of any proceedings or
investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access
Laws.
Section 9.18 Zoning.
Borrower shall not, without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent, seek,
make, suffer, consent to or acquiesce in any adverse change or variance in
any
zoning or land use laws or other conditions of use of the Project or any
portion
thereof. Borrower shall not use or permit the use of any portion of the Project
in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use
under
any zoning or land use law or any other applicable law or modify any agreements
relating to zoning or land use matters or with the joinder or merger of lots
for
zoning, land use or other purposes, without the prior written consent of
the
Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower
take any action that would reduce or impair either (a) the number of
parking spaces at the Improvements or (b) access to the Project from
adjacent public roads. Further, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written
consent, Borrower shall not file or subject any part of the Project to any
declaration of condominium or co-operative or convert any part of the Project
to
a condominium, co-operative or other direct or indirect form of multiple
ownership and governance.
Section 9.19 ERISA.
Borrower
shall not hire any employees, and shall obtain all workforce services required
for the ownership, operation, construction or development of the Project
by
contracting therefor pursuant to the Development Agreement, General Contract
and
the Project Documents. Borrower shall not take any action, or omit to take
any
action, which would (a) cause Borrower’s assets to constitute “plan assets”
for purposes of ERISA or the Code or (b) cause the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be nonexempt
prohibited transactions (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the
Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Administrative Agent
and/or the Lenders, on account of any Loan or execution of the Loan Documents
hereunder, to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under
Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.
Section 9.20 Books
and Records; Inspection Rights.
Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Borrower Parties to, keep
proper
books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made
of
all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.
Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Borrower Parties to, permit
any
representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon
reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine
and
make extracts from its
102
books
and
records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers
and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as
reasonably requested.
Section 9.21 Foreign
Assets Control Regulations.
(1) Neither
Borrower nor any Borrower Party shall use the proceeds of the Loan in any
manner
that will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the
foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department
(31
CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or the Anti-Terrorism Order or any
enabling legislation or executive order relating to any of the same. Without
limiting the foregoing, neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party will permit
itself nor any of its Subsidiaries to (a) become a blocked person described
in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (b) knowingly engage in
any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with any person who
is
known by such Borrower Party or who (after such inquiry as may be required
by
Applicable Law) should be known by such Borrower Party to be a blocked
person.
(2) Each
partner or member or other direct or indirect principal of Borrower having
an
interest in ten percent (10%) or more of the capital or profits of Borrower
shall be at all times during the term of the Loans an entity or person which
(a) is (and whose principals shall be) a reputable entity or person of good
character (i.e., not under indictment or convicted of a felony) and in good
standing as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, (b) is
creditworthy and is not and has not, within the preceding two (2) years,
been
adverse to any of the Lenders in any pending litigation or arbitration in
which
any Lender is also a party, (c) is not a Prohibited Person, and (d) is
in good standing in its state or country of organization.
Section 9.22 Performance
of Project Documents and Easements.
(1) Borrower
shall (a) perform and observe in all material respects all of its covenants
and agreements contained in any of the Project Documents to which it is a
party,
(b) take all reasonable and necessary action to prevent the termination of
any such Project Document in accordance with the terms thereof or otherwise,
(c) enforce each material covenant or obligation of each such Project
Document in accordance with its terms, (d) promptly give the Administrative
Agent copies of any default or other material notices given by or on behalf
of
Borrower received by or on behalf of Borrower from any other Person under
the
Project Documents and (e) take all such action to achieve the purposes
described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.22
as may
from time to time be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;
provided,
however,
that
Borrower shall be permitted, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
approval, to contest the validity or applicability of any requirement under
the
Project Documents.
(2) Borrower
will comply with all restrictive covenants and easements affecting the Project
(unless the Title Company has insured against the enforcement of same in
the
Title Policy). All covenants, easements, cross easements or operating agreements
which may hereafter be acquired, entered into or amended by Borrower affecting
the Project (it being understood that Borrower will use its best efforts
to
procure such of the foregoing items as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
deem appropriate) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent for the
Administrative Agent’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably
103
withheld
or delayed, prior to the execution thereof by Borrower, accompanied by a
drawing
or survey showing the location thereof.
Section 9.23 Payment
for Labor and Materials.
Borrower shall promptly pay when due all invoices and costs for labor,
materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with
the
Project and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect
of the
Project or any part thereof any Lien, even though inferior to the Liens of
the
Loan Documents. Borrower may contest the validity or amount of such invoices
and
Liens so long as (1) Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it
intends to contest such claim or demand, (2) Borrower provides the
Administrative Agent with an indemnity, bond or other security satisfactory
to
the Administrative Agent (including an endorsement to the Administrative
Agent’s
title insurance policy insuring against such claim or demand) assuring the
discharge of Borrower’s obligations for such claims and demands, including
interest and penalties, and (3) Borrower is diligently contesting the same
by appropriate legal proceedings in good faith and at its own expense and
concludes such contest prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the earlier
to occur of the Maturity Date or the date on which the Project could be sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost for non payment, (4) such
proceeding shall not subject Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to
criminal or civil liability (other than civil liability as to which adequate
security has been provided pursuant to clause (2) above), and
(5) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount
of such items, together with all costs, interest and penalties.
Section 9.24 Operating
Plan and Budget.
(1) If
Borrower has elected to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.5,
Borrower shall, no less than sixty (60) days prior to the original Maturity
Date, and then annually thereafter not later than November 15th of the
previous calendar year, submit to the Administrative Agent for the
Administrative Agent’s written approval an annual budget (each an “Annual
Budget”),
in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent setting forth in
detail
budgeted monthly Operating Revenues and monthly Operating Expenses for the
Project. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve such Annual
Budget (such approval to be in the Administration Agent’s sole and absolute
discretion during any period where the Administrative Agent is taking action
to
remove the Manager). If the Administrative Agent objects to the proposed
Annual
Budget, the Administrative Agent shall advise Borrower of such objections
within
fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a
reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall within
ten (10) days after receipt of notice of any such objections revise such
Annual Budget and resubmit the same to the Administrative Agent such procedure
to be repeated until such time as the Administrative Agent shall approve
such
Annual Budget. Each such Annual Budget approved by the Administrative Agent
in
accordance with terms hereof, as well as the budget for the current calendar
year approved by the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, shall hereinafter
be referred to as an “Approved
Annual Budget.”
Until
such time that the Administrative Agent has approved a proposed Annual Budget,
the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply, provided that such
Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in real
estate taxes, insurance premiums and utilities expenses and shall otherwise
be
adjusted to reflect any change during the preceding year in the Consumer
Price
Index.
104
(2) Borrower
may at any time propose an amendment to an Approved Annual Budget for the
remainder of the then current calendar year, and, when approved as provided
below, such amended Approved Annual Budget shall be deemed to be and shall
be
effective as the Approved Annual Budget for such calendar year. Prior to
making
any expenditures not reflected in the then current Approved Annual Budget
in
excess of an aggregate amount of $500,000 per annum, Borrower shall propose
an
amendment to the Approved Annual Budget to the Administrative Agent for its
reasonable approval. Copies of any such proposed amended Approved Annual
Budget
shall be furnished at least thirty (30) days before final adoption thereof
to the Administrative Agent for its approval. The Administrative Agent shall
have thirty (30) days after receipt of any proposed amendment to the
Approved Annual Budget to approve or disapprove such proposed amendment.
Borrower’s request for approval of the proposed amendment to the Approved Annual
Budget shall
be
deemed approved if (i) the Administrative Agent shall have failed to notify
Borrower of its approval or disapproval within such thirty (30) day period
(the
“Approval
Period”)
following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrower’s written request
together with any and all information and documentation relating thereto
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to reach a decision and provided
the request to Administrative Agent is marked in bold lettering with the
following: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF
THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE
UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the envelope containing the request must be marked
“PRIORITY”, (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a
written notice of Administrative Agent’s failure to respond to Borrower’s
request on or after the end of the Approval Period (the “Failure
to Respond Notice”),
and
(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have failed to notify Borrower of its
approval or disapproval within ten (10) days following the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of the Failure to Respond Notice. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to expend an amount up to $500,000
per annum to make emergency repairs to the Project or otherwise to respond
to an
emergency affecting the Project.
Section 9.25 Inspection.
Borrower shall permit representatives of the Administrative Agent, the
Construction Consultant and the Lenders, at reasonable times and on reasonable
advance notice, to examine its books of record and account, to make copies
and
abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with
its
principal officers, engineers and independent accountants (and by this provision
Borrower authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Persons such affairs,
finances and accounts, but after prior notice to Borrower of such discussions).
Without limiting the foregoing, representatives of the Construction Consultant,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right at reasonable
times and on reasonable advance notice to (a) inspect the Project and all
materials to be used in connection with the construction of the Improvements
from time to time and to witness the construction thereof, (b) to conduct
such environmental and engineering inspections and studies as the Administrative
Agent may require, (c) to examine all detailed plans and shop drawings in
connection with the construction of the Improvements and (d) meet with the
representatives of the Design Professionals, the General Contractor and the
Major Subcontractors to discuss the status and issues relating to the
construction of the Improvements (and by this provision Borrower authorizes
Borrower’s Architect, the General Contractor and the Major Subcontractors to
cooperate and discuss with such Persons such construction matters, but after
reasonable prior notice to Borrower of such discussions). Borrower shall
at all
times cause a complete set of the original plans (and all supplements thereto)
relating to the construction of the
105
Project
to be maintained at the Project or construction office and available for
inspection by such representatives.
Section 9.26 Project
Construction and Completion.
(1) Borrower
shall construct the Construction Work in a good and workmanlike manner in
accordance with generally accepted engineering and construction practice,
the
recommendations set forth in each soils report, seismic report, geotechnical
report and other engineering reports submitted to Administrative Agent and
accepted by it pursuant to Schedule 4,
the
Plans and Specifications, the applicable Tenant Improvement Plans, the
Construction Schedule and Applicable Law.
(2) Borrower
shall timely commence the Construction Work for the Improvements on or prior
to
the Commencement Date, and shall cause such Construction Work to be completed
(and all Base Building Substantial Completion Conditions on account thereof
to
be satisfied) by the Completion Date subject to Unavoidable Delay (other
than
Punch List Items which shall be completed by Borrower with diligence following
the Completion Date, and Tenant Improvement Work which shall be timely completed
by Borrower in accordance with the applicable Approved Lease).
(3) Borrower
shall not commence construction of any Construction Work, or any particular
component thereof, nor permit any tenant so to do, until Borrower or any
such
tenant has obtained all Government Approvals required under Applicable Law
for
the commencement of construction of such Construction Work or such component
thereof, as the case may be.
(4) Once
begun, Borrower shall cause the construction of the Construction Work to
be
prosecuted with diligence in accordance with the Construction Schedule, free
and
clear of Liens or claims for Liens for materials supplied and for labor or
services performed in connection with the construction of the applicable
Improvements, except for Liens contested in accordance with the provisions
of
Section
9.23
hereof.
(5) Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, on demand, copies of all contracts,
bills of sale, statements, receipted vouchers and agreements under which
Borrower claims title to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated
in the
Improvements.
(6) Borrower
shall, upon demand of the Administrative Agent based upon the advice of the
Construction Consultant, correct any Unsatisfactory Work; and the advance
of any
proceeds of any Loan shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative
Agent’s
right to require compliance with this covenant with respect to any such
Unsatisfactory Work. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the
Construction Consultant shall have any affirmative duty to Borrower or any
third
party to inspect for Unsatisfactory Work or other defects or to call them
to the
attention of Borrower or anyone else.
Section 9.27 Proceedings
to Enjoin or Prevent Construction.
If any
proceedings are filed seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent or declare invalid
or unlawful all or any part of the Construction Work, Borrower, at its sole
cost
and expense, will cause such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good
faith, and in the event of an adverse ruling or
106
decision,
prosecute all allowable appeals therefrom, and will, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary
or permanent injunction that may be entered, and use its best efforts to
bring
about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings.
Section 9.28 Agent’s,
Lenders’ and Construction Consultant’s Actions for their Own Protection
Only.
The
authority herein conferred upon the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and/or
the
Construction Consultant and any action taken by the Administrative Agent,
the
Lenders and/or the Construction Consultant in making inspections, procuring
sworn statements and waivers of lien, approving contracts and subcontracts
and
approving Plans and Specifications will be taken by the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Construction Consultant for their own protection only,
and
none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Construction Consultant
shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or any other
party with respect to any such action herein authorized or taken by the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Construction Consultant or with
respect
to the Construction Work, performance of contracts or subcontracts by any
contractors or subcontractors, or prevention of claims for mechanics’ liens. Any
review, investigation or inspection conducted by the Administrative Agent,
the
Lenders, the Construction Consultant or any other architectural or engineering
consultants retained by the Administrative Agent in order to verify
independently Borrower’s satisfaction of any conditions precedent to advances
under this Agreement, Borrower’s performance of any of the covenants, agreements
and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, or the validity of any
representations and warranties made by Borrower hereunder (regardless of
whether
or not the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should
have
discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that
any
such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any
such
representations or warranties were not true), shall not affect (or constitute
a
waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of) (a) any of Borrower’s
representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement or the
Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ reliance thereon or right to require the
performance thereof or (b) the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’
reliance upon any certifications of Borrower or the Design Professionals
required under this Agreement or any other facts, information or reports
furnished to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders by Borrower
hereunder.
Section 9.29 Sign
and Publicity.
If the
Administrative Agent requests, Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, erect a sign approved by the Administrative Agent on the
Project
in a conspicuous location reasonably approved by Borrower indicating that
the
financing for the Project has been provided by the Lenders and that Eurohypo
is
the Administrative Agent for the Lenders. Borrower shall include in any public
announcement or media release concerning the general development of the Project
a statement that the Lenders have provided the financing for the Project
and
that Eurohypo is the Administrative Agent for the Lenders.
Section 9.30 Amendment
of Project Documents and Government Approvals; Change Orders.
(1) Borrower
shall not, without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld:
107
(a) take
any
action to cancel or terminate any material right under any General Contract,
any
Major Subcontract, any other Project Document or any Government Approval
to
which it is a party;
(b) sell,
assign, pledge, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (by
operation of law or otherwise) or encumber any part of its interest in any
General Contract, any Major Subcontract, any other Project Document or any
Government Approval;
(c) waive
any
material default under or breach of any material provisions of any General
Contract, any Major Subcontract, any other Project Document or any Government
Approval, or waive, forgive, release or fail to enforce any material right,
interest or entitlement, howsoever arising, under or in respect of any of
the
foregoing, or vary or agree to the variation in any material adverse way
of any
of the foregoing or of the performance of any other Person or Governmental
Authority thereunder;
(d) amend
or
adversely modify any material provision of, or give any consent under, any
General Contract, any Major Subcontract, any other Project Document or any
Government Approval (including, without limitation, the Plans and
Specifications, the Construction Schedule or the Bonds), including, without
limitation, any amendment or modification which, subject to Borrower’s rights
under Section
4.5
and
right to make Change Orders pursuant to the provisions of subsection (2)
below,
would increase the Budget or any Budget Line Item; or which might adversely
affect the value of the security for the Loans; or which, regardless of cost,
is
a material change in structure, design or function; or which might delay
completion of any element of the Construction Work beyond the time allotted
for
it in the Completion Schedule, or completion of the satisfaction of the Base
Building Substantial Completion Conditions for the Construction Work beyond
the
applicable Completion Date therefor;
(e) petition,
request or take any other legal or administrative action that seeks, or may
reasonably be expected, to rescind, terminate or suspend any General Contract,
any Major Subcontract, any other Project Document or any Government Approval
or
amend or modify all or any material part thereof; or
(f) enter
into, or permit the General Contractor to enter into, any new Major Subcontract
(which consent shall be conditioned upon the delivery by the Major Subcontractor
thereunder of a Consent and Agreement).
(2) Borrower
shall obtain the Administrative Agent’s and the Construction Consultant’s
approval for any additive Change Order that exceeds $500,000 with respect
to any
single change or related group or series of changes. At such time as all
Change
Orders in the aggregate result in an increase in the Budget in excess of
$4,000,000, Borrower shall obtain the Administrative Agent’s and the
Construction Consultant’s approval for all subsequent Change
Orders.
(3) Subject
to the provisions of this Section 9.30,
Borrower shall from time to time promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent
and the Construction Consultant all Change Orders, pending or executed, along
with evidence that all Government Approvals relating thereto have been obtained,
together with any documents related thereto, and a written description of
the
108
proposed
change and related working drawings, a written estimate of the cost of the
proposed change and the time necessary to complete it and a written explanation
of the reasons therefor. The Administrative Agent may take a reasonable time
to
evaluate any requests for proposed changes, and may require that all other
approvals required from other parties be obtained before it reviews any
requested change. Borrower acknowledges that delays may result, and agrees
that
so long as the delays are not unreasonable in duration, they shall not affect
Borrower’s obligation to complete each element of the Base Building Work
according to the Completion Schedule, and the Base Building Work on or before
the Completion Date therefor.
Section 9.31 Maintenance
of Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
In the
event that Borrower shall have extended the term of the Loans in accordance
with
Section
2.5(2)
or
Section
2.5(3),
as
applicable, during the Second Extension Term and the Third Extension Term,
Borrower shall maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio based on the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans during such applicable extension
periods of at least 1.10:1.00 as of the last day of the calendar quarter
ending
most recently prior to the commencement of the Second Extension Term and
Third
Extension Term, as applicable, and as of the last day of each calendar quarter
occurring during each such extension period, on an annual pro forma basis
(“Minimum
DSCR Covenant”).
If
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio at the end of any such calendar quarter is
less
than 1.10:1.00, such event shall not be a Event of Default hereunder, but
Borrower shall, on or before the date which is ten (10) days after the date
of such determination, either (1) deliver a Collateral Letter of Credit to
the Administrative Agent or make a cash deposit (“Cash
Deposit”)
to a
Controlled Account as additional collateral for the Notes and Borrower’s other
obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, in an amount determined
by
the Administrative Agent such that if the amount so deposited were used to
make
a principal prepayment, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio would have been at
least
1.10:1.00 for the applicable calendar quarter had such prepayment been made
as
of the first day of such calendar quarter (such Collateral Letter of Credit
or
Cash Deposit, a “DSCR
Covenant Cure Deposit”),
or
(2) prepay the principal amount of the Loans (provided that Borrower shall
not, in connection therewith, be liable for any prepayment premiums or
penalties, other than payments due to the Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.9(5)
with
respect to the prepayment of LIBOR-based Loans), such that after giving effect
to such payment, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio would have been at least
1.10:1.00 for the applicable calendar quarter had such prepayment been made
as
of the first day of such calendar quarter. If delivered pursuant to clause
(1),
the DSCR Covenant Cure Deposit (or portion thereof remaining after any
application thereof pursuant to the immediately succeeding sentence) shall
be
released to Borrower if and only if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is at
least
1.15:1.00 (not taking into account any DSCR Covenant Cure Deposit) for at
least
two (2) consecutive calendar quarters (a “DSCR
Covenant Cure”),
provided that there is at the end of such two (2) consecutive quarters no
Potential Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents. If a DSCR
Covenant Cure is not achieved within six (6) months after the Minimum DSCR
Covenant is violated, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right
to
apply the DSCR Covenant Cure Deposit (including, without limitation, by drawing
on any Collateral Letter of Credit delivered by Borrower), to reduce the
outstanding principal balance of the Loans (and upon any such payment, Borrower
shall pay to the Lenders any amounts due to the Lenders in accordance with
Sections
2.4(6)
and
2.9(5)).
Section 9.32 Material
Agreements.
Borrower
shall not, without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
109
delayed),
(1) take any action to cancel or terminate any Material Agreement or (2)
waive any material default under or breach of any material provisions of
any
such Material Agreement or waive, fail to enforce, forgive or release any
material right, interest or entitlement, howsoever arising, under or in respect
of any material provisions of any such Material Agreement or vary or agree
to
the variation in any material way of any material provisions of any such
Material Agreement or of the performance of any other Person under any such
Material Agreement.
Section 9.33 New
Century Lease and Xxxxxx Xxxx Lease.
Borrower
shall perform and complete all obligations of the Landlord under the New
Century
Lease and the Xxxxxx Xxxx Lease for the construction of the improvements
to be
completed by the landlord to the premises demised under the New Century Lease
and the Xxxxxx Xxxx Lease, respectively, in accordance with the applicable
Lease
Milestones and other terms and conditions of the New Century Lease and the
Xxxxxx Xxxx Lease, respectively, subject to the terms of any such lease with
respect to force majeure.

become

protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the
maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any
other
notice of default of

any
kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided,

Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.
Section 11.2 Remedies

Except

all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, (2) terminate the
obligation, if any, of the Lenders to advance amounts hereunder, and
(3) exercise all rights and remedies therefor under the Loan Documents and

Section 11.3 Administrative
Agent’s Right to Perform the Obligations.
Without
limiting the provisions of Section 11.3
below,
if Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform
any act
required by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and
without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing
any
other right, remedy or recourse the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
have
because of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be
obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and
at
the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter upon the Project
for
such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the
Project
as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If the Administrative Agent shall
elect
to pay any sum due with reference to the Project, the Administrative Agent
may
do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the
appropriate governmental authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring
into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments
to
protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any
apparent or threatened adverse title, Lien, encumbrance, claim or charge
before
making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same.
Additionally, if any Hazardous Materials affect or threaten to affect the
Project, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) give
such
notices and take such actions as it deems necessary or advisable in order
to
xxxxx the discharge of any Hazardous Materials or remove the Hazardous
Materials. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts
performed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 11.2,
including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence
of
the Administrative Agent and any Lender, except as a result of the
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
All sums paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.2,
and all
other sums expended by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which it
shall
be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Default
Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure until paid, shall constitute
additions to the Loans, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall
be paid
by Borrower to the Administrative Agent upon demand.
115
Section 11.4 Administrative
Agent’s Right to Complete Construction.
While
any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may take possession
of the
Project and complete the construction and equipping of the Improvements and
do
anything in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder,
including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of
existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others
and
to employ watchmen to protect the Project from injury. Without restricting
the
generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby
appoints and constitutes the Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact
with full power of substitution in the Project to complete construction of
the
Improvements in the name of Borrower; to use unadvanced funds remaining under
the Commitments or which may be reserved, or escrowed or set aside for any
purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face
amount
of the Notes (and all such amounts shall be payable by Borrower together
with
interest at the Default Rate), to complete the Improvements; to make changes
in
the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary or desirable to complete
the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the Plans and
Specifications; to retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors,
architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes;
to
pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens
or
security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against
the
Project or security interest against fixtures or equipment, or as may be
necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping
of
the Improvements or for the clearance of title; to execute all applications
and
certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the
contract documents; to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its
own
behalf; and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection
with the Project or fixtures or equipment; to take action and require such
performance as it deems necessary under any bonds furnished in connection
with
the construction of the Improvements and to make settlements and compromises
with surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute
instruments of release and satisfaction; it being understood and agreed that
this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot
be
revoked.
Section 11.5 Administrative
Agent’s Rights under the Completion Guaranty.
While
any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may exercise the Lenders’
rights under the Completion Guaranty to require the Guarantor to perform
thereunder, in which case Borrower hereby (1) authorizes the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders to make advances of the Loans directly to the Guarantor
in
accordance with the terms of the Completion Guaranty and this Agreement and
(2) agrees that Borrower shall be liable to the Lenders for all such
advances to the Guarantor and such advances shall be deemed Loans under this
Agreement and be evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Mortgage and the
other Security Documents.
Section 11.6 No
Obligation With Respect to Completion of the Improvements.
Whether
or not the Administrative Agent or the Lenders elect to employ any or all
of the
remedies available upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be liable for the construction
of or failure to construct, complete or protect the Improvements or for payment
of any expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any remedy available

except
that, notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in any
separate agreement entered into among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,

(2) Notwithstanding
anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, any modification or supplement

or of

Section 12.3 Limitation
on Interest.
It is
the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury
laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and
the Lenders with respect to the Loans are hereby expressly limited so that
in no
event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise,
118
shall
the
amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or
charged by any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money
to be
lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If
the
Loans would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State
and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything
to
the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration
which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, taken,
reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no
circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable
law,
and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or,
if the
Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is
accelerated by reason of an election by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration
which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount
allowed by Applicable Law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided
for
in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law,
shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance
until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through
the
term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is
not
permitted under Applicable Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled
automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been
paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this
Section 12.3
shall
control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. Except
as
otherwise expressly provided therein, the Loan Documents are contracts made
under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws
of the
State of New York, except that if at any time the laws of the United States
of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive
a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State of
New York (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law
of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the
rate
of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or
receive
under the Loan Documents.
Section 12.4 Invalid
Provisions.
If any
provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed
and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in
full
effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid
or
unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such
Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and
enforceable.
Section 12.5 Reimbursement
of Expenses.
Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders
on
demand of the applicable party for: (1) all reasonable third-party costs
and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
Loans,
including fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s attorneys,
environmental, engineering and other consultants (including, without limitation,

Agent’s
119
reasonable

Administrative Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the
syndication of the Loans to the Lenders, provided that Borrower’s obligation to
pay such costs and expenses (exclusive of the fees and disbursements of the
Administrative Agent’s legal counsel) shall not exceed $25,000, and (4)
all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by the Administrative Agent and
the

Section 12.6 Approvals;
Third Parties; Conditions.
All
approval rights retained or exercised by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters
are
solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed
or construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy
thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any
other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor
relied upon, by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and
Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of the Administrative Agent and
the
Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed
solely
and exclusively for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to
require
satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that the Lenders
will
refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all
of
such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed
to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely
waived in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at

time in their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 12.7 Lenders
and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership.
None of
the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall

deemed to, give the Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power
to
exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the powers of
the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise
the
remedies referred to in the Loan Documents. The relationship between Borrower
and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor
and
creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor
shall
it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency
or
common interest in profits or income between the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and Borrower or to create an equity in the Project in the Administrative
Agent or any Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders neither undertake
nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person
with
respect to the Loans, the Project or the other collateral for the Loans,
except
as expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Loan Documents: (1) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
is, nor
120
shall
be
construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling
person
or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or any
Borrower Party or any of their respective stockholders, members, or partners,
and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume
such
status; (2) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall in any event be
liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower
or
any Borrower Party; and (3) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be
deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions
of
Borrower or any Borrower Party or any of their respective stockholders, members,
or partners. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim
any
intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest
in
profits or income between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower,
or
to create an equity in the Project or any other collateral for the Loan in
the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses,
costs
or expenses.

their

Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.
Section 12.12 Cumulative
Rights.

and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan
Documents shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any
such
right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or

Section 12.19 Waiver
of Jury Trial.
TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender
hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive the right to a trial

of
conduct, course of dealing, statement (whether verbal or written) or action
of
either party or any exercise by any party of their respective rights under
the
Loan Documents or in any way relating to the Loans or the Project (including,
without limitation, any action to rescind or cancel this Agreement, and any
claim or defense asserting that this Agreement was fraudulently induced or
is
otherwise void or voidable). This waiver is a material inducement for the
Administrative Agent and each Lender to enter this Agreement.

of Borrower.
It is
expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any Applicable Law
or any
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary,
the
liability of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including their
respective successors and assigns) and any recourse of Borrower against the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be limited solely and exclusively
to
their respective interests in the Loans and/or Commitments or the Project.
Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a claim or adjudication
is
made that the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, or their agents,
acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by Applicable
Law
or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act

to
act reasonably or promptly in accordance with this Agreement or the other
Loan
Documents.

Section 12.22 Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower
and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents
may
not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent
oral
agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between
the
parties. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Agreement or
any
of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.
Section 12.23 Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one
document.
Section 12.24 Assignments
and Participations.
(1) Assignments
by Borrower.
Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under
the
Notes without the prior consent of all of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent.
(2) Assignments
by the Lenders.
Each
Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only
with
the consent of the Administrative Agent); provided that:
(a) no
such
consent by the Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any
assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender
or
such other Lender (provided that in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate,
the assigning Lender shall not be released from its obligations under the
Loan
Documents and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal only with such
assigning Lender);
(b) except
to
the extent the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial
assignment (other than to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) shall
be
in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
(c) each
such
assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of
a
Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner
so
that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective
assignee;
124
(d) subject
to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b)
and
(c)
above,
the Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably
withheld and shall be made within ten (10) Business Days of request if
(i) such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee, and (ii) the
provisions of clause (e)
have
been satisfied; and
(e) upon
execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower
and the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which
such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender)
having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent
thereto by the Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee
shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented
to by
the Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender
hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned
to it
(in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such
assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment,
be
released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each
such
assignment the assigning Lender shall pay the Administrative Agent a processing
and recording fee of $3,500 (provided that no such processing and recording
fee
shall be payable in connection with an assignment by Capmark Bank, a Utah
industrial bank, or Capmark Finance Inc., a California corporation, to any
of
their respective Affiliates) and the reasonable fees and disbursements of
the
Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.
(3) Approval
by Borrower.
In the
event Borrower’s consent to an assignment is required under Section 12.24(2),
such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be granted or denied
in
writing delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days
from
the date of the Administrative Agent’s or a Lender’s request therefor. If the
Administrative Agent does not receive such consent or a denial of such consent
in writing within said ten (10) Business Days following delivery of a request
for such consent, Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted. In
the event Borrower withholds its consent, Borrower shall, concurrently with
its
written disapproval, provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and
such
Lender of the reasons for such disapproval.
(4) Participations.
(a) A
Lender
may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”)
a
participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment,
provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with
the
Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under
any
other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant
that
it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase
or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed
for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans
or any
portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the
amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which
interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the
125
Participant,
to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive
such
interest or fee or (v) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver
hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same,
under
Section 12.2,
requires the consent of each Lender. Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9(1),
Section 2.9(5),
and
Section 2.9(6)
to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (2)
of this
Section 12.24.
To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 12.24
as
though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject
to
Section 12.24
as
though it were a Lender.
(b) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.9(1)
or
2.9(6)
than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to
such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant
that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled
to
the benefits of Section 2.9(6)
unless
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(6)
as
though it were a Lender
(5) Certain
Pledges.
In
addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 12.24
(but
without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower,
the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee)
assign
and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve
Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully
transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning
Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(6) Provision
of Information to Assignees and Participants.
A
Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party
or
any of their respective Affiliates or the Project in the possession of such
Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective
assignees and participants).
(7) No
Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates.
Anything in this Section 12.24
to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest
in
any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without
the
prior consent of each Lender.
Section 12.25 Brokers.
Borrower hereby represents to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that
Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or
finder
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents, other than Eastdil Secured (the “Broker”).
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all fees and commissions due and payable to
Broker
and to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless
from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind
in
any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker)
that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein.
The
Administrative Agent has not engaged any broker in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
126
Section 12.26 [Reserved]
Section 12.27 Limitation
on Liability of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Officers, Employees,
etc.
Any
obligation or liability whatsoever of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be satisfied, if at all, out of the Administrative Agent’s or such
Lender’s respective assets only. No such obligation or liability shall be
personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be
had to,
the property of any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s shareholders,
directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation
or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 12.28 Cooperation
with Syndication.
Borrower
acknowledges that the Arranger intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments
to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”)
and in
connection therewith, Borrower shall take all actions as the Arranger may
reasonably request to assist the Arranger in its Syndication effort. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request
of the
Arranger (i) facilitate the review of the Loans, the Project and the other
collateral for the Loans by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist the
Arranger and otherwise cooperate with the Arranger in the preparation of
information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and
commenting on drafts of such information materials); (iii) deliver updated
information on Borrower, the Project and the other collateral for the Loans;
(iv) make representatives of Borrower available to meet with prospective
Lenders at tours of the Project and bank meetings at reasonable times and
on
reasonable notice; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior
management and advisors of the Borrower and any prospective Lender; and
(vi) provide the Arranger with all information reasonably deemed necessary
by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Subject to the provisions
of
Section 12.5,
Borrower agrees to take such further reasonable action, in connection with
documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required
to
effect such Syndication; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 12.27
or
Section 12.29
to the
contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents
and
amendments which would increase
Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan
Documents or adversely affect the economic terms of the Loans, except
potentially in the case of Event of Default.
Section 12.29 Severance
of Loan.
(1) Loan
Components.
The
Arranger shall have the right, at any time, to direct the Administrative
Agent,
with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to (a) cause the Notes, the
Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be severed and/or split into
two or
more separate notes, mortgages and other security agreements, so as to evidence
and secure one or more senior and subordinate mortgage loans, (b) create
one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e.,
an A/B
or A/B/C structure) secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents,
(c) create multiple components of the Notes (and allocate or re-allocate
the outstanding principal amount of the Loan among such components) or
(d) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by the Mortgage
and the other Security Documents (each of clauses (a) through (d), together
with the Mezzanine Option described below, a “Bifurcation”);
in
each such case, in whatever proportions and priorities as the Arranger may
so
direct in its discretion to the Administrative Agent; provided, however,
that in
each such instance (i) the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes
evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately
127
following
such Bifurcation shall be equal the outstanding principal amount of the Loan
immediately prior to such Bifurcation; (ii) the weighted average Applicable
Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all
Base
Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans immediately after such Bifurcation and at
all
times prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not exceed the
weighted average Applicable Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans as set forth
in
the initial Notes delivered hereunder (as such interest rates are subject
to
being adjusted from time to time in accordance herewith, including as a result
of the accrual of interest at the Default Rate); and (iii) such
adjustment does not increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease
Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic
terms of the Loans, except potentially in the case of Event of
Default.
If
requested by the Administrative Agent in writing, Borrower shall execute
within
ten (10) days after such request, a severance agreement, amendments to or
amendments and restatements of any one or more Loan Documents, and such
documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence
and/or effectuate any such Bifurcation, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent; provided, however,
that notwithstanding any other provision of Section 12.27
or this
Section 12.29(1)
to the
contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents
and
amendments which would increase
Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan
Documents or adversely affect the economic terms of the Loans, except
potentially in the case of Event of Default.
(2) Mezzanine
Financing.
Eurohypo shall have the right, at any time, to direct the Administrative
Agent,
to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine
Option”):
a
mortgage loan (the “Mortgage
Loan”)
and
one or more mezzanine loans (the “Mezzanine
Loan(s)”).
The
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine
Loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately
prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s). In
effectuating the foregoing, the lender of the Mezzanine Loan(s) will make
a loan
to a borrower (the “Mezzanine
Borrower(s)”);
Mezzanine Borrower(s) will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s)
to
Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage
Borrower”)
and
Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its
Mortgage Loan amount (without prepayment premium). The Mortgage Loan and
the
Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions
set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
except as follows:
(a) The
Arranger shall have the right, at any time, to direct the Administrative
Agent,
to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage
Loan(s) and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage
Loan
and the Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated
by the
Arranger; provided that (i) the total of the loan amounts for the Mortgage
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately following the creation of such
Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to
the
creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), (ii) the weighted
average Applicable Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans that are outstanding
under
the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately after such Bifurcation
and
at all times prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not exceed
the weighted average Applicable Margin
128
with
respect to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Base Rate Loans
and LIBOR-based Loans as set forth in the initial Notes delivered hereunder
(as
such interest rates are subject to being adjusted from time to time in
accordance herewith, including as a result of the accrual of interest at
the
Default Rate), (iii) the initial debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan
note and the Mezzanine Loan note(s) shall initially on the date created equal
the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to
creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), and
(iv) such
adjustment does not increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease
Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic
terms of the Loans, except potentially in the case of Event of
Default.
The
Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be subordinate to the Mortgage Loan and shall be
governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement between the holders of
the
Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s).
(b) Mezzanine
Borrower(s) shall be a newly-formed special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and shall own directly or indirectly
one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine
Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect
ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Subject
to the provisions of Section 12.5(3),
Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable
requests of the Arranger and the Administrative Agent in order to convert
the
Loan into a Mortgage Loan and one or more Mezzanine Loan(s) and shall execute
and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by the Arranger
and
the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation,
(i) the delivery of non-consolidation opinions, (ii) the modification
of organizational documents and loan documents, (iii) documents authorizing
the Administrative Agent to file any UCC-1 Financing Statements reasonably
required by the Administrative Agent to perfect the security interest in
the
collateral for the Mezzanine Loan(s), (iv) execution of such other
documents reasonably required by the Arranger and the Administrative Agent
in
connection with the creation of the Mezzanine Loan(s), including, without
limitation, an environmental indemnity substantially similar in form and
substance to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement delivered on the date
hereof
in connection with the Loan, (v) delivery of appropriate authorization and
enforceability opinions with respect to the Mezzanine Loan(s), and
(vi) delivery of an “Eagle 9” or equivalent UCC title insurance
policy, satisfactory to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent, insuring
the
perfection and priority of the lien on the Mezzanine Loan collateral; provided,
however, that notwithstanding any other provision of Section 12.27
or this
Section 12.29(2)
to the
contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents
and
amendments which would increase
Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan
Documents or adversely affect the economic terms of the Loans, except
potentially in the case of Event of Default.
(d) Confidentiality.
Each of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may
be
disclosed (a) to it and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed
of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental
Authority, (c) to the extent required by
129
Applicable
Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to
this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to any assignee or pledgee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant
in, any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to
the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or
(h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.29(2)(c)
or of
arrangements entered into pursuant hereto or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender from a source other than Borrower or its
Affiliates; provided, however, the obligation to maintain the confidentiality
of
the Confidential Information provided hereunder shall expire twelve (12)
months after the date upon which the Loans hereunder are indefeasibly paid
in
full. The Administrative Agent and each Lender, to the extent required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.29(2)(c),
shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Confidential Information as a commercial banker exercising reasonable and
customary business practices would accord to its own confidential information.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject
to this
Section 12.29(2)(c)
shall
not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without
limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and
“tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided
to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure.
ARTICLE 13
RECOURSE
Liability
Section 13.1 Recourse
Liability.
Borrower shall be personally liable for amounts due under the Loan Documents.
Anything herein or in any other Loan Document or any certificate given in
connection therewith or pursuant thereto (the Loan Documents and each such
certificate, collectively, the “Relevant
Documents”)
to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree
that,
for repayment of the Loans and the payment and performance of any and all
of
Borrower’s obligations under the Relevant Documents or any claim based thereon
or otherwise in respect thereof, they shall look solely to the Project and
the
other assets of Borrower, and to such other collateral as may now or hereafter
be given to secure the Loans, and no other property or assets of Borrower’s
direct or indirect constituent partners, members, or the directors, officers,
agents or employees of Borrower or such constituent partners or members
(collectively, the “Exculpated
Parties”),
shall
be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the
satisfaction of remedies of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders,
or for
any payment required to be made under the Relevant Documents or for the
performance of any of the covenants or warranties contained in any of the
Relevant Documents or for any claim based thereon or in respect thereof,
nor
shall any claim be brought against the Exculpated Parties; provided,
however,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained hereinabove, the foregoing
provisions of this Section
13.1
shall
not (i) limit the right of the
130
Administrative
Agent and/or the Lenders to name Borrower and/or the Guarantor or either
of them
as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale
under the Mortgage or the other Security Documents so long as no deficiency
judgment shall be sought or enforced against the Exculpated Parties except
as
provided in clause (ii) below or (ii) affect or limit in any way the validity
or
enforceability of any separate guaranty or indemnification now or hereafter
given for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in
connection with the Loans, including the obligations of the Guarantors under
the
Guarantor Documents.
Section 13.2 No
Waiver of Rights Under Bankruptcy Code. Nothing
in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be construed as a waiver
by
the Administrative Agent or Lenders of any right which the Administrative
Agent
or any Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such sections may be amended,
to file a claim for the full amount due to Administrative Agent or such Lender
under the Loan Documents or to require that all collateral shall continue
to
secure the amounts due under the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 14
The
Administrative Agent
Section 14.1 Appointment,
Powers and Immunities.
Each
Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as
its
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers
as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which term as
used
in this sentence and in Section 14.4
and the
first sentence of Section 14.5
shall
include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers,
directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall
have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to
the
extent that the Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the
receipt or payment of funds, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any
fiduciary duty to the Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty
to
the Borrower or any other Lender;
(b) shall
not
be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations
or
warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or
in any
certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by any
of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other document referred
to
or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other
Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;
and
(c) shall
not
be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder
or
under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred
to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith,
except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates the
Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of
Section 14.4.
131
(d) shall
not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with
respect to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required
to
initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or
under
any other Loan Document; and
(e) shall
not
be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any
other
Loan Document or Applicable Law.
The
relationship between the Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual
relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on the
Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express
provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative
Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact, and may delegate all or any
part
of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible
for
the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys in fact or third
parties selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may deem and
treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless
and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been
filed
with the Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject
to
the provisions of Section 12.24.
Except
to the extent expressly provided in Section 14.7,
the
provisions of this Article 14
are
solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower
shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions
hereof and the Lenders may Modify or waive such provisions of this Article 14
in their
sole and absolute discretion.
Section 14.2 Reliance
by Administrative Agent.
The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice
or
other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone,
telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
correct
and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants
and
other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in
refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions
given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders
and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all
of
the Lenders.
Section 14.3 Defaults.
(1) The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative
Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Potential
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice
of Default.”
In
the
event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence
of
a Potential Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of
such notice of Potential Default or Event of Default from the Administrative
Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative
Agent
determines is necessary), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
consult
with each other to determine a proposed course of action. The Administrative
Agent shall (subject to Section 14.6)
take
such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as
shall
be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until
the Administrative Agent
132
shall
have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including
decisions (1) to make protective advances that the Administrative Agent
determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (2) to
foreclose on any of the Project or exercise any other remedy, with respect
to
such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in
the
interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly
requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent
or
upon the authorization of all of the Lenders and (B) no actions approved by
the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.
Each of
the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately
enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents
(including the Notes) other than through the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which
the
Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 14.3(1)
and
shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time
direct
that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already
undertaken by the Administrative Agent, including the commencement of
foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall
be
taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken
by the
Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 14.3(1)
shall be
valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other than money subject to
the
provisions of Section 14.6)
received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure
sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement
of
the Administrative Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2),
(3)
and
(4)
and
14.4
and to
the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant
to
Section 14.10,
second,
to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2),
(3)
and
(4)
and
14.4;
third,
to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant
to
Section 14.3(2);
and
fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Proportionate Shares (and to the Lender or Lenders under any Hedge Agreement
for
its Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15),
unless
an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12,
in
which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such
proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid
Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
(2) All
losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate)
and
other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the
Loans shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Proportionate Shares of the Loans. All losses incurred in connection with
the
Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor,
shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate
Shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to
the
Administrative Agent their respective Proportionate Shares of (i) any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid
by
Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to
preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and protect the
Project, whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes
exceeds the amount of the Mortgage, (iii) any other reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the
Mortgage or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid
or
provided for by Borrower. To the
133
extent
any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the
Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its
proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(3) If,
at
the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1),
any
action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Security Documents
or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under
Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought)
be an action brought by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively,
to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents
or
any other Loan Document and counsel selected by the Administrative Agent
shall
prosecute any such action on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate
with
each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment
of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership,
the conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such
action and the settlement of such action shall be made by the Administrative
Agent. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders
in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.
(4) If,
at
the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1),
any
action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgage, such action shall (to the
extent
permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such
action is brought) be an action brought by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgage and
collect
on the Notes. Counsel selected by the Administrative Agent shall prosecute
any
such foreclosure on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and
the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each
other
in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a
receiver, the conduct of such foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure, the bid on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
at
the foreclosure sale of the Project, the manner of taking and holding title
to
the Project (other than as set forth in subsection (5)
below),
the sale of the Project after foreclosure, and the commencement and conduct
of
any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by the Administrative Agent.
The costs and expenses of foreclosure will be borne by the Lenders in accordance
with their respective proportionate shares.
(5) If
title
is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale or by a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure, title shall be held by the Administrative Agent in its own name
in
trust for the Lenders or, at the Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders.
(6) If
the
Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or
is
entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all
material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development,
construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project
shall be made by the Administrative Agent per a management plan approved
by the
Administrative Agent and approved (or deemed approved pursuant to Section
14.9)
by the
Majority Lenders.. All income or other money received after so acquiring
title
to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including
income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds
of a
sale of the Project, shall be applied (subject to the terms of any separate
agreement among the Administrative Agent and
134
the
Lenders), first, to the payment or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent
for
the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions
of this Article 14
and to
the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant
to
Section 14.10,
second,
to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; third,
to the
establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; fourth,
to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant
to
Section 14.3(2);
fifth,
to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reasonable reserves; and
sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares
(and, if applicable, to Eurohypo Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement for
its
Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15),
unless
an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12,
in
which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such
proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid
Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
Section 14.4 Rights
as a Lender.
With
respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it Eurohypo (and any successor
acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall
have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise
the
same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo (and any successor
acting as Administrative Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to
account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally
engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and
any of
its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and
Eurohypo and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from
Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section 14.5 Standard
of Care; Indemnification.
In
performing its duties under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
will
exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with
similar real estate loans it has originated and holds and in which no
syndication or participations are involved, but the Administrative Agent
shall
have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided
herein
and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted
in
actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, the Administrative
Agent
shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by the Administrative
Agent to comply with any of the Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower
under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Subject to the terms of any separate
agreement among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Lenders agree
to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under
Section 12.5,
but
without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5)
ratably
in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the
Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance
with
their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising
out
of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising
out
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby
or
thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower
is
obligated to pay under Section 12.5,
but
excluding normal internal
135
costs
administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency
duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or 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 Administrative Agent’s breach of its
standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.
Section 14.6 Non
Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each
Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of
Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and
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 analysis and decisions
in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan
Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 14.4,
the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to
the
performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan
Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein
or
to inspect the Project or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
Except
for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required
to
be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or as
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with
any
credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or
business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession
of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.
Section 14.7 Failure
to Act.
Except
for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, and
under
the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be
fully
justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it
shall
receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their
indemnification obligations under Section 14.4
against
any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of
taking
or continuing to take any such action.
Section 14.8 Resignation
of Administrative Agent.
The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least five (5) Business
Days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications
of an
Eligible Assignee. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of
notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of
the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an
institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding
sentence. 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 retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent,
and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above
in
this Section 14.7).
The
fees payable by Borrower to a successor
136
Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this
Article 14
and
Section 12.5
shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to
be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.
Section 14.9 Consents
under Loan Documents.
The
Administrative Agent may as expressly provided in Section
12.2
above or
in the Loan Documents and, if not expressly provided, with the consent of
the
Majority Lenders (a) grant any consent or approval required of it or
(b) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan
Documents. If the Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals
from
the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents (which solicitation shall include
the following statement in bold, all capital letters: “FAILURE
TO RESPOND WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN DEEMED
CONSENT”),
each
Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give
the Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial
thereof; provided that, if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10)
Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative
Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the
subject of the Administrative Agent’s solicitation as the Administrative Agent
elects. Any such solicitation by the Administrative Agent for a consent or
approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter
or
thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include
the
Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect
thereof. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 14
and
Section 12.5
shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to
be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.
Section 14.10 Authorization.
The
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver
and
perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which
the
Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees
to
be bound by all of the agreements of the Administrative Agent contained in
such
Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements,
approvals and consents received from the Administrative Agent as being that
also
of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of
authorization of same.
Section 14.11 Agency
Fee.
So long
as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all obligations
under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall
pay
to the Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee. The Agency
Fee shall be payable monthly in advance commencing on the Closing Date pursuant
to the Fee Letter.
Section 14.12 Defaulting
Lenders.
(1) If
any
Lender (a “Defaulting
Lender”)
shall
for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate share of an
advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the Lien of the Security
Documents, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make
all
or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such
advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and the
Administrative Agent prior notice of its
137
intention
to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender
shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate
share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their
respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the
Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender
making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share of the
applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions
shall be referred to as a “Special
Advance Lender.”
(2) In
any
case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special
Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender
shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s
respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the
“Advanced
Amount”)
bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable)
and
(ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is
expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses
incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and expenses of
enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgage or to preserve
and
protect the Project, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the
proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special
Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid
Amount”)
equal
to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing
with
respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender
immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to
repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance
Lender
at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
(3) A
Special
Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure
to
deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not
constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advanced Amount and the
percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the
Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of
the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting
Lender
and the Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been
repaid
(in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the
revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation.
Provided that the Administrative Agent has received notice of such
participation, the Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to
distribute interest, principal and other sums received by the Administrative
Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as the
Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal
and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions
to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect
to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s
Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such
distributions.
(4) A
Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums
of
any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in
connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid
Amount
is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may
temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be
138
deemed
to
hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it
being
the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall
have
an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid
Amount.
(5) Each
Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent
and
each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages,
liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and
interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of
the
Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting
Lender
became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of
the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall,
after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to
the
terms of subsection (3)
above,
set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims
of the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to this
indemnity.
Section 14.13 Liability
of the Administrative Agent.
The
Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to
Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or
to
any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 14.14 Transfer
of Agency Function.
Without
the consent of Borrower or any Lender, the Administrative Agent may at any
time
or from time to time transfer its functions as the Administrative Agent
hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided
that the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders
thereof.

the
Cash Management Agreement. Without limiting the express provisions of the
Cash
Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and
control over the Clearing Account and the Cash Management Account and Borrower
shall have no rights to make withdrawals therefrom.
139
(1) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and provided no Event of Default or Low DSCR Trigger Period exists
and after all Reserve Funds have been funded in accordance with this Agreement
and the Cash Management Agreement, on each Business Day, funds on deposit
in the
Cash Management Account shall be transferred to an account designated and
controlled by Borrower.
(2) The
insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account (or any
sub-account thereunder) shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make
any
payments as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not
conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(3) In
furtherance of the foregoing provisions, prior to the Second Extension Period

each

and
the Cash Management Agreement, and (d) deliver such authorizations or

relating to such Clearing Account Agreement and Cash Management Agreement
as
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.
Section 15.2 Real
Estate Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund.
(2) Deposits.
If the
Maturity Date has been extended pursuant to Sections
2.5(2)
or
2.5(3),
as
applicable, on each Payment Date from and after the first day of the Second
Extension Period and continuing until the Maturity Date,
Borrower
shall deposit with Administrative Agent, for deposit into an account (the
“Tax
and Insurance Reserve Account”)
(i) a
monthly amount, as determined by Administrative Agent, which will be sufficient
to accumulate with Administrative Agent thirty (30) days prior to each due
date therefor sufficient funds to pay all real estate taxes, assessments
and
impositions which Administrative Agent estimates will be payable during the
next
ensuing twelve (12) months, and (ii) a monthly amount, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, which will be sufficient to accumulate with Administrative
Agent, thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current insurance
policies which Administrative Agent estimates will be payable for the renewal
of
the coverage required under Article 3
for the
next ensuing twelve (12) months (or, if the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement remains in effect without default thereunder, sufficient to pay
all
Financing Installments that will be payable during the next ensuing twelve
(12)
months)(said amounts in clauses
(i)
and
(ii)
above,
being, collectively, the “Tax
and Insurance Reserve Fund”).
If at
any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay real estate taxes and
insurance premiums (or, if applicable, Financing Installments) by the dates
set
forth in clauses
(i)
and
(ii)
above,
Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower
shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount
that
Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency
thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the real estate taxes and/or
thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the insurance policies, as the case
may
140
be.
Any
interest earned on the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be accumulated
in
the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund and become a part thereof.
(3) Disbursements.
Borrower
shall furnish Administrative Agent with (i) bills for the charges for which
such
deposits are required and (ii) a disbursement request (in a form reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent), executed by an Authorized Officer
of
Borrower’s Managing Member’s General Partner, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the date on which the charges first become payable.
Provided
that no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent will direct the Depository
Bank to apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Fund to
payments of insurance premiums and real estate taxes, respectively, as directed
by Administrative Agent. In directing the Depository Bank to make any payment
relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, Administrative Agent may
do so
according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office (with respect to real estate taxes) or insurer or agent (with
respect to insurance premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such
xxxx,
statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless said xxxx, statement
or
estimate is obviously incorrect.
Section 15.3 Cash
Flow
Sweep Fund.
(1) Deposits.
If the
Maturity Date has been extended pursuant to Section
2.5(2)
or
2.5(3),
as
applicable, on each Payment Date during any Low DSCR Trigger Period from
and
after the first day of the Second Extension Period and continuing until the
Maturity Date, Borrower shall cause all funds remaining in the Cash Management
Account (after giving effect to deposits required pursuant to Section
3.3 (a)(i)
through
(iv)
of the
Cash Management Agreement) (“Excess
Cash”)
to be
paid each month directly to Administrative Agent for deposit into an account
(the “Sweep
Account”)
as
additional collateral for the Loans. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter
be
collectively referred to as the “Excess
Cash Reserve Fund.”
(2) [Reserved]
(3) Release.
Provided no Event of Default exists, any funds held in the Excess Cash Reserve
Fund (after giving effect to any reductions thereof as permitted pursuant
to
Section
15.3(4)
below)
shall be released to Borrower upon the occurrence of a Low DSCR Release Event
and, in such event Borrower shall no longer be required to cause the deposit
of
the subsequent Excess Cash into the Excess Cash Reserve Fund unless a Low
DSCR
Trigger Event occurs with respect to any future calendar quarter.
(4) Principal
Reduction.
If at
any time a Low DSCR Trigger Period continues for four (4) full consecutive
quarters following a Low DSCR Trigger Event, then the Administrative Agent
shall
have the right to apply all funds on deposit in the Sweep Account (or which
are
deposited into the Sweep Account while such Low DSCR Trigger Period continues)
to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans (and upon any such
payment, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders any amounts due to the Lenders
in
accordance with Sections
2.4(6)
and
2.9(5)).
(5) Cash
Deposit/Letter of Credit.
Without
limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Low DSCR Trigger Event,
Borrower shall have the right, on or before the date which is ten (10) Business
Days after the date of any such determination, to cure such Low
141
DSCR
Trigger Event by electing to (a) make a deposit of cash with the Administrative
Agent, and/or (b) deliver a Collateral Letter of Credit to the Administrative
Agent as additional collateral for the Notes and Borrower’s other obligations
under the Loan Documents, in each case, in an amount determined by the
Administrative Agent such that if the amount of cash so deposited or the
amount
of such Collateral Letter of Credit were used to make a principal prepayment,
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio would have been at least 1.25:1.00 for the
applicable calendar quarter had such prepayment been made as of the first
day of
such calendar quarter. Any cash shall be deposited by the Administrative
Agent
in a Controlled Account. At any time while a Low DSCR Trigger Period exists,
if
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be at or above 1:30:1.00 for a period
of
at least two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, then there shall be no further
deposits required into the Sweep Account unless and until another Low DSCR
Trigger Period exists, and any funds (if any) theretofore deposited in the
Sweep
Account pursuant to this Section
15.3(3)
and not
theretofore applied pursuant to Section
15.3(4) shall
be
promptly released to Borrower.
Section 15.4 Capital
Improvements Reserve Fund.

If the
Maturity Date has been extended pursuant to Section
2.5(2)
or
2.5(3),
on each

and
continuing until the Maturity Date, Borrower shall deposit with the
Administrative Agent into a Controlled Account(the “Capital
Improvements Reserve Account”),
an
amount equal to one-twelfth of the amount determined by the Administrative
Agent
to be equal to $0.15 per leaseable square foot per annum, to
be
necessary for capital
improvements and capital repairs (“Capital
Improvements”)
to be
made to the Project based on the current Capital Expenditures Budget as approved
by the Administrative Agent.
Such
monthly amounts shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account and shall
be
disbursed into the Capital Improvements Reserve Account. Amounts deposited
into
the Capital Improvements Reserve Account pursuant to this Section
15.4(1)
are
referred to herein as the “Capital
Improvements Reserve Funds”.
(2) Release
of Capital Improvements Reserve Funds.
Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to disburse to Borrower
amounts from the Capital Improvements Reserve Funds within five (5) Business
Days of receipt of request by Borrower provided that: (a) on the date such
request is received by Administrative Agent and on the date such payment
is to
be made, no Event of Default then exists, (b) if requested by Administrative
Agent, Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from an Authorized
Officer of Borrower’s Managing Member’s General Partner in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) identifying the specific
item (which item may constitute a discrete portion of a larger project or
job)
for which disbursement is requested, (ii) identifying, by category, the
cost of completing such item and (iii) certifying that such item has been
substantially completed pursuant to arms length transactions in a timely
and
first-class manner in accordance with all Applicable Laws and free and clear
of
all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, and that all costs associated
therewith have been paid in full, except for (x) those fees, costs and expenses
being contested in good faith in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(in
which case Borrower shall only be entitled to receive the uncontested portion
of
such fees, costs and expenses) and (y) fees, costs and expenses to be reimbursed
out of the subject disbursement and (c) the request for disbursement shall
include (i) copies of invoices for all items and materials purchased and
all
contracted labor or services provided or other evidence
142
that
such
costs have been incurred as may be reasonably required by Administrative
Agent
and (ii) if requested by Administrative Agent, waivers of liens conditioned
only
on payment from each contractor providing materials, labor or services for
the
invoiced work and unconditional lien waivers for work previously performed
and
reimbursed out of funds disbursed to Borrower from the Capital Improvements
Reserve Funds. Administrative Agent shall not be required to disburse Capital
Improvements Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month
and all
such disbursements shall be in increments of at least $50,000. In addition
to
any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or
cause
to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public
liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under Applicable
Laws in connection with work paid for out of the Capital Improvements Reserve
Account. All such policies shall be in form and amount and with insurers
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(1) Grant
of Security Interest.
Borrower hereby grants a perfected first priority security interest in favor
of
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in each Reserve

Controlled Account Collateral free of all levies and security interests or
other
145
liens
or
charges except the security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent
granted hereunder;
(vii) to
account fully for and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent, in the
form
received, all documents, chattel paper, instruments and agreements constituting
the Controlled Account Collateral hereunder, endorsed to the Administrative
Agent or in blank, as requested by the Administrative Agent, and accompanied
by
such powers as appropriate and until so delivered all such documents,
instruments, agreements and proceeds shall be held by Borrower in trust for
the
Administrative Agent, separate from all other property of Borrower;
and
(viii) from
time
to time upon request by the Administrative Agent, to furnish such further
assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Controlled Account
Collateral, execute such written agreements, or do such other acts, all as
may
be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this agreement or as
may
be required by Applicable Law, or in order to perfect or continue the
first-priority lien and security interest of the Administrative Agent in
the
Controlled Account Collateral.
(c) All
interest earned on any Controlled Account shall be retained in such Controlled
Account. Borrower shall treat all interest earned on its Controlled Account
as
its income for federal income tax purposes.
(d) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may (and, upon the instruction of the Major Lenders,
shall):
(iii) without
any advertisement or notice to or authorization from Borrower (all of which
advertisements, notices and/or authorizations are hereby expressly waived),
withdraw, sell or otherwise liquidate the funds deposited into any Controlled
Account established by or for Borrower, and apply the proceeds thereof to
the
unpaid Obligations of Borrower in such order as the Administrative Agent
may
elect in its sole and absolute discretion, without liability for any loss,

Borrower hereby consents to any such withdrawal and application as a
commercially reasonable disposition of such funds and agrees that such
withdrawal shall not result in satisfaction of the Loans except to the extent
the proceeds are applied to such sums;
(iv) without

146
for
cash
or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as the
Administrative Agent may determine;
(vii) recover
from Borrower all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent in exercising any
right, power or remedy provided by this subsection (vii);

Borrower) and without limiting any other rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the obligations of such

and the Administrative Agent may also bid at any such sale.
147
(4) Except
as
expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent may apply any payments or recoveries from any Other
Borrower, such Individual Borrower or any other source, and any proceeds
of any
security, to the obligations of such Individual Borrower under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and to any Other Borrower Obligation in such
manner, order and priority as the Administrative Agent may elect.
(5) The

Section 16.3 Waivers
of Defenses.
Insofar
as any Other Borrower Obligation represents an obligation of any Other Borrower
(but not insofar as it represents an obligation of the applicable Individual
Borrower) and without limiting any other rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the obligations of such
Individual Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any
security encumbered by such Individual Borrower for any such obligations,
each
Individual Borrower waives:
(1) Any
right
it may have to require the Administrative Agent to proceed against any Other
Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Other Borrower,
or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent's power to
pursue;
(2) Any
defense based on any claim that any obligations of such Individual Borrower
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents exceed or are more burdensome
that those of any Other Borrower;
(3) Any
defense based on: (a) any legal disability of any Other Borrower; (b) any
release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation of the liability
of
any Other Borrower to the Administrative Agent from any cause, whether consented
to by the Administrative Agent or arising by operation of law or from any
bankruptcy or other voluntary or involuntary proceeding, in or out of court,
for
the adjustment of debtor-creditor relationships ("Insolvency
Proceeding")
and
(c) any rejection or disaffirmance, of any Other Borrower Obligation, or
any part of it, or any security held for it, in any such Insolvency
Proceeding;
(4) Any
defense based on any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
or any
Lender in any Insolvency Proceeding involving any Other Borrower, including
any
election to have the Administrative Agent's or any Lender’s claim allowed as
being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by
the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Other Borrower in any Insolvency
Proceeding and the taking and holding by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender
of any security for any such extension of credit;
148
(5) Except
for notices expressly provided for under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance,
protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance
of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and of the existence, creation,
or
incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every
kind;
(6) Any
defense based on or arising out of any action of the Administrative Agent
described in Section
16.2
above.
Section 16.4 Waivers
of Subrogation and Other Rights and Defenses.
Insofar
as any Other Borrower Obligation represents an obligation of any Other Borrower
(but not insofar as it represents an obligation of the applicable Individual
Borrower) and without limiting any other rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the obligations of such
Individual Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any
security encumbered by such Individual Borrower for any such obligations,
each
Individual Borrower agrees as follows:
(1) Upon
a
default by any Other Borrower, the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Individual Borrower (except
for notices that are expressly required pursuant to this Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents), may elect to: (a) foreclose either judicially or
nonjudicially against any real or person property security it may hold for
any
Other Borrower Obligation, (b) accept a transfer of any such security in
lieu of
foreclosure, (c) compromise or adjust any Other Borrower Obligation or any
part
thereof or make any other accommodation with any Other Borrower, or (d) exercise
any other remedy against any Other Borrower or any security. No such action
by
the Administrative Agent shall release or limit the liability of any Individual
Borrower, who shall remain liable for its obligations under this Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents after the action, even if the affect of the action
is
to deprive such Individual Borrower of any subrogation rights, rights of
indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from any Other Borrower
for
any sums paid to or collected by the Administrative Agent from such Individual
Borrower, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise.
Such
Individual Borrower expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it
be
deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal
property held by the Administrative Agent or any third party after any
foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for any Other
Borrower Obligation.
(2) Regardless
of whether Individual Borrower may have made any payments to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, Individual Borrower hereby waives (except as may be
set
forth in that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
entered into among 3161, PS2 and PS5): (a) all rights of subrogation,
indemnification, contribution and any other rights to collect reimbursement
from
any Other Borrower or any other party for any sums paid to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law
(including, without limitation, under Sections 2847 or 2848 of the California
Civil code, under any provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or
any
successor or similar statutes) or otherwise, (b) all rights to enforce any
remedy that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Other
Borrower, and (c) all rights to participate in any security now or later
to be
held by the Administrative Agent for any Other Borrower Obligation. Such
Individual Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement
to withhold the exercise of its
149
rights
of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth
herein
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void of voidable for
any
reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and
indemnification such Individual Borrower may have against any Other Borrower
of
against any collateral or security, shall be junior and subordinate to any
rights that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against each
Other
Borrower, and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent may
have
in any such collateral or security. If any amount shall be paid to such
Individual Borrower on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement,
contribution or indemnification rights at any time when all Other Borrower
Obligations have not been paid in full indefeasibly and irrevocably, such
amount
shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be
credited and applied against the Other Borrower Obligations, whether matured
or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The waivers given in this Section
16.4(2)
shall be
effective until all Other Borrower Obligation have indefeasibly and irrevocably
been paid and performed in full.
(3) Individual
Borrowers waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available
to
Individual Borrower by reason of Sections 2878 to 2855, inclusive, of the
California Civil Code.
(4) Individual
Borrower waives all rights and defenses that Individual Borrower may have
because the Other Borrower Obligations are secured by real property; this
means,
among other things:
(a) The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may collect from such Individual Borrower
without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged
by
any Other Borrower; and
(b) If
the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral
pledged by any Other Borrower:
(iii) The
amount of the obligations for which such Individual Borrower is liable or
for
which its property is security may be reduced only by the price for which
that
real property collateral pledged by such Other Borrower is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price;
and
(iv) The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may collect from such Individual Borrower
even if the Administrative Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral
pledged by such Other Borrower, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower
may have to collect from any Other Borrower.
(v) This
is
an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such
Individual Borrower may have because the Other Borrower Obligations are secured
by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited
to, any
rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure. Such Individual Borrower specifically waives any
right
to a fair value hearing, and any and all other rights it may have under Section
580a of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
150
(5) Such
Individual Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election
of
remedies by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, even though that election
of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for
the
Other Borrower Obligations, has destroyed such Individual Borrower’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section
580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(6) Such
Individual Borrower waives all rights and defenses which might otherwise
be
available to such Individual Borrower under any guarantor, suretyship or
other
defenses under any law of the State of California, including, without
limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899
and
3433, and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 359.5.
Section 16.5 Revival
and Reinstatement.
Insofar
as any Other Borrower Obligation represents an obligation of any Other Borrower
(but not insofar as it represents an obligation of the applicable Individual
Borrower) and without limiting any other rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the obligations of such
Individual Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, if
the
Administrative Agent is required to pay, return or restore to any Other Borrower
or any other person any amounts previously paid on the Other Borrower Obligation
because of any Insolvency Proceeding of any Other Borrower, any stop notice
or
any other reason, the obligations of each Individual Borrower shall be
reinstated and reviewed and the rights of the Administrative Agent shall
continue with regard to such amounts, all as though they had never been
paid.
Section 16.6 Borrower's
Financial Condition.
Each
Individual Borrower assumes full responsibility for keeping informed of each
Other Borrower's financial condition and business operations and all other
circumstances affecting such Other Borrower's ability to pay and perform
is
obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and agrees that
neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to disclose to
such
Individual Borrower any information which the Administrative Agent or any
Lender
may receive about such Other Borrower's financial condition, business
operations, or any other circumstances bearing on its ability to
perform.
