Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 24, 2014, Overstock.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Overstock ”), and its wholly owned subsidiary O.Com Land LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ O.Com Land ”), entered into a syndicated senior secured credit facility (the “ Facility ”) with U.S. Bank National Association as Administrative Bank (the “ Administrative Bank ”), and as Lead Arranger and a Bank, and the other Banks from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “ Banks ”).

 

Loan Agreement

 

Introduction .    The Facility is governed by a  Loan Agreement dated as of October 24, 2014  by and between Overstock, O.Com Land, the Administrative Bank and the Banks (the “ Loan Agreement ”) and collateral and other agreements relating to the Loan Agreement. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement provides for an aggregate credit amount of  $55,760,000, consisting (i) a senior secured real estate loan of $45,760,000 (the “ Real Estate Loan ”) to be used to finance the development and construction of a facility in Salt Lake City to serve as our corporate headquarters (the “ Project ”), and  (ii) a $10,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ Revolving Loan ”) for working capital and capital expenditures, but not construction of the Project.  The Loan Agreement provides that we must satisfy a number of conditions to the initial funding of the Real Estate Loan at least 60 days prior to the initial funding, and that no amounts, under the Revolving Loan or otherwise, are to be available to us under the Facility until we have satisfied the conditions to the initial Real Estate Loan availability.  These initial conditions include conditions relating primarily to our delivery of documentation and third party commitments relating to the Project, but also include the equity contribution requirement described below.  The Real Estate Loan and the Revolving Loan are both secured and are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized.  Overstock and O.Com Land  are both liable for payment of all amounts that may become due and performance of all obligations under the Loan Agreement and the collateral agreements described below.

 

Conversion of Real Estate Loan to Term Loan .   The Real Estate Loan is intended initially to provide financing for the construction of the Project.   On or before January 1, 2017 (subject to one potential extension of up to three months, and subject to potential additional extensions of up to 30 days for force majeure), upon completion of the Project and satisfaction of additional conditions, the Real Estate Loan  is designed to convert (“ Conversion ”) into an approximately 6.75-year term loan due October 1, 2023 (the “ Term Loan ”).  If the conditions to Conversion are not satisfied in early 2017, all amounts outstanding under the Real Estate Loan will become immediately due and, unless we repay all amounts under the Real Estate Loan immediately, the Revolving Loan and any other amounts then due under the Facility would also become immediately due.

 

The conditions to conversion of the Real Estate Loan to the Term Loan include, among others, the following:

 

1.                                       The Project must have been completed in accordance with the applicable plans, paid for in full, and generally free of liens;

2.                                       Completion must have been certified by the project architect and the inspecting architect;

3.                                       Certificates of occupancy must have been issued;

4.                                       We must have paid all amounts then due and payable to the Banks;

5.                                       We must be in compliance with the financial covenants under the Loan Agreement;

6.                                       We must be able to reaffirm our representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement and must be in compliance with all of our non-financial covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement;

7.                                       The Real Estate Loan must be or must be brought “in balance” as defined in the Loan Agreement, which may require us to contribute additional equity to the Project;

8.                                       We must have paid the final amount of our equity contribution to the Project as required by the Loan Agreement;

9.                                       If required by the Administrative Bank, an updated appraisal must show that the Project is in compliance with an 80% loan to value ratio requirement, or we must pay down the principal balance and/or agree to reduce the amount of the Term Loan commitment to reach the required ratio; and

10.                                There must at the time be no material adverse occurrence, as defined in the Loan Agreement.

 

Interest The Loan Agreement provides for interest on amounts outstanding under the Real Estate Loan and the Term Loan at a rate based on LIBOR plus 2.00% or an Alternate Base Rate plus 1.00%.  However, substantially concurrently with entering into the Facility, we entered into interest rate swaps with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and Compass Bank (“Compass Bank”) in their individual capacities, as described below, which are designed to fix our interest rate on the Real Estate Loan and the Term Loan at approximately 4.6% annually.

 

Monthly payments of interest only will be due on the Real Estate Loan prior to Conversion, after which monthly payments of principal of $93,695 (approximately $1.1 million annually) plus interest will be due, with a balloon payment of all then unpaid principal (approximately $38 million), interest and other amounts due and payable on the Term Loan due October 1, 2023.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan will carry an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 2.00% or an Alternate Base Rate plus 1.00%.  The Alternate Base Rate means an annual interest rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate announced from time to time by U.S. Bank, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) a LIBOR based rate plus 1.00%.   In addition, we must pay a commitment fee at an annual rate of  0.25% on all amounts undrawn from time to time under the Revolving Loan Facility.  Amounts drawn under the swing line facility will not count as usage for purposes of the commitment fee.

 

In the event of a default, the default rate of interest would be 2.00% above the otherwise applicable rate.

 

Equity Contribution Requirements .   Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, prior to the first advance under the Real Estate Loan, we will be required to have made additional equity contributions of approximately $26.4 million, in addition to the approximately $11 million we have already paid, totaling approximately $37.4 million in equity contributions, toward the acquisition of the real estate and construction of the Project.   In addition, we will be required to make additional equity contributions of approximately $2.9 million toward the construction of the Project during the course of construction (such aggregate of approximately $40.3 million being collectively called the “Project Equity”).   We may be required to make additional equity contributions if necessary to ensure that the loan to value ratio (based on future appraisals of the Project) does not exceed 80%.

 

Financial Covenants .   We will be required to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants as of the end of each calendar quarter:

 

1.               a fixed charge coverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis of no less than 1.15 to 1.00;

2.               a cash flow leverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 during the construction phase;

3.               a cash flow leverage ratio on a trailing 12-month basis not greater than 2.50 to 1.00 following the Construction Phase, and

4.               minimum liquidity of at least $50,000,000.

 

Covenants relating to the Project and Other Covenants .    Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, in addition to the financial covenants described above, we are required to comply with a number of covenants relating to the Project and otherwise, including, among others:

1.                                       Covenants regarding completion of the Project and of the method, costs and timing of completing the Project, including prohibitions of contracts and prohibitions of changes relating to the Project without the consent of the Administrative Bank;

13.                                Covenants limiting our senior secured indebtedness consisting of interest-bearing debt for borrowed money or financed assets;

14.                                Covenants prohibiting certain mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions;

15.                                Covenants prohibiting certain sales of equipment and other fixed or operating assets by O.Com Land, and certain other types of sales of assets by Overstock or its subsidiaries;

16.                                Covenants regarding certain payments and loans to, and investments in, related parties, and other covenants restricting transactions with related parties;

17.                                Covenants regarding our creation, formation or funding of subsidiaries; and

18.                                Covenants requiring some or all of our subsidiaries to guarantee our obligations under the Facility under certain circumstances.

 

Revolving Loan Facility .   The Revolving Loan facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes, but may not be used to finance any portion of the construction of the Project.  Unless it terminates earlier or is extended with the consent of the Administrative Bank and all of the Banks, the Revolving Loan facility will terminate on October 24, 2017.  The Revolving Loan facility includes a $5 million letter of credit subfacility and a $3 million swing line subfacility. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Loan facility cannot exceed $10 million.  Amounts available under the Revolving Loan Facility may be repaid and re-borrowed from time to time.

other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or the other holders of the Real Estate Notes such participations in the relevant obligation as shall be necessary for such purchasing Bank or holder to share the excess payment ratably with the other Banks or holders according to each Bank’s or other holder’s Percentage; provided , however , that if all or any portion of the excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Borrowers agree that any Bank or holder so purchasing a participation from another Bank or holder pursuant to this Section 1.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank or holder were the direct creditor of a Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

Section 1.7            Fees  In addition to the interest and other consideration to Banks herein, Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Bank the Fees, as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.  No termination or reduction of a Commitment and no failure of a Borrower to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article II shall entitle Borrowers to a refund of any portion of such Fees.  Administrative Bank shall share the Fees with the Banks to the extent and in the manner agreed upon between Administrative Bank and the Banks.

(e)           Each Bank’s Revolving Loans (including the Swing Line Bank) will be evidenced by a promissory note representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the forms included in Exhibit F, as applicable (with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans) (each a “Revolving Note”).

 

Section 1.20         Telephonic Notices .   Overstock hereby authorizes the Banks and the Administrative Bank to extend or convert Revolving Loans and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the Administrative Bank or any Bank in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Overstock, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion Notices to be given telephonically.  Overstock agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Bank a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Bank and the Banks, the records of the Administrative Bank and the Banks shall govern absent manifest error.  The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within ten (10) days after discovery by any party to this Agreement.

Section 1.24         Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Bank .   Unless a Bank notifies the Administrative Bank prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Bank in respect of the proceeds of a Revolving Loan that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Bank may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to Overstock in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Bank, Overstock shall, on demand by the Administrative Bank, repay to the Administrative Bank the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Bank until the date the Administrative Bank recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.  No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date and (y) one (1) year after its issuance; provided, however, that the expiry date of a Facility LC may be up to one (1) year later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date if Overstock has posted on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date cash collateral in the Facility LC Collateral Account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Bank in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations with respect to such Facility LC.

 

(b)           Participations .  Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 1.25 , the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

 

(c)           Notice .  Overstock shall give the Administrative Bank notice prior to 12:00 noon Salt Lake City time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Bank shall promptly notify the LC Issuer and each Bank of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Bank’s participation in such proposed Facility LC.  The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the other conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that Overstock shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”).  The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions to issuance have been satisfied; provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Facility LC if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, the LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

 

(d)           LC Fees .  Overstock shall pay to the Administrative Bank, for the account of the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Libor Based Advances in effect from time to time on the original face amount of such Facility LC for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each the first day of each fiscal quarter (the “LC Fee”).  Overstock shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the average daily undrawn stated amount under such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all

 

37



 

reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC.

 

(e)           Administration; Reimbursement by Banks .  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Bank and the Administrative Bank shall promptly notify Overstock and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”).  The responsibility of the LC Issuer to Overstock and each Bank shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC.  The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Bank shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by Overstock pursuant to Section 1.25(f)  below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Bank, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. Salt Lake City time on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Bank pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.

 

(f)            Reimbursement by Overstock .  Overstock shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither Overstock nor any Bank shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by Overstock or such Bank to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC.  All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by Overstock shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date.  The LC Issuer will pay to each Bank ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from Overstock for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Bank has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 1.25(e) .  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section

 

38



 

1.15 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth herein, Overstock may request Revolving Loans hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

 

(g)           Obligations Absolute .  Overstock’s obligations under this Section 1.25 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Overstock may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Facility LC.  Overstock further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Banks that the LC Issuer and the Banks shall not be responsible for, and Overstock’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Overstock, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of Overstock or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee.  The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC.  Overstock agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Bank under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon Overstock and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Bank under any liability to Overstock.  Nothing in this Section 1.25(g)  is intended to limit the right of Overstock to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 1.25(f) .

 

(h)           Actions of LC Issuer .  The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer.  The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.25 , the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.

 

(i)            Indemnification .  Overstock hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Bank, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank may incur (or which may be claimed against such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any

 

39



 

Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with the failure of any other Bank to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights Overstock may have against any Defaulting Bank).

 

(j)            Banks’ Indemnification .  Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by Overstock) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 1.25 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

 

(k)           Facility LC Collateral Account .  Solely to effectuate the later expiry date of a Facility LC in accordance with Section 1.25(a) , Overstock agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks and until the final expiration date of such later-expiring Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Banks in respect of such later-expiring Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Bank (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Bank, for the benefit of the Banks and in which such Borrower shall have no interest.  Upon the establishment of the Facility LC Collateral Account, Overstock shall pledge, assign and grant to the Administrative Bank, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Banks and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of Overstock’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations described in Section 1.25(a) .  The Administrative Bank will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days.  Nothing in this Section 1.25(k)  shall either obligate the Administrative Bank to require Overstock to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Bank to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case.

 

(l)            Rights as a Bank .  In its capacity as a Bank, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Bank.

 

Section 1.26         Limitation of Interest .   Borrowers, the Administrative Bank and the Banks intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 1.26 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 1.26 , even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this Section 1.26 , the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as

 

40



 

compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of this Agreement.  In no event shall Borrowers or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Bank have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such Bank could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of this Agreement at the highest lawful rate.  On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the highest lawful rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the highest lawful rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the highest lawful rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence.  Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the highest lawful rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate.  The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the highest lawful rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable highest lawful rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made.  None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 1.26 , or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the highest lawful rate.  If the term of any Loan or any other Obligation outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Bank at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the highest lawful rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Bank, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrowers’ Obligations to such Bank, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

 

Section 1.27         Defaulting Banks .

 

(a)           Defaulting Bank Adjustments .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

 

(i)            Waivers and Amendments .  Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Banks.

 

41



 

(ii)           Defaulting Bank Waterfall .  With respect to the Revolving Exposures, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Bank for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to the exercise of remedies or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Bank from a Defaulting Bank shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Bank as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Bank hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with Section 1.25(e) ; fourth, as a Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Bank; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Bank and Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account (including the Facility LC Collateral Account) and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Facility LCs issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, if so determined by the Administrative Bank, distributed to the Banks other than the Defaulting Bank until the ratio of the outstanding credit exposures of such Banks to the aggregate outstanding exposures of all Banks equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Bank’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans; and ninth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Facility LC issuances in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the credit extensions of all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any credit extensions of such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 1.27(a)(ii)  shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)          Certain Fees . (a) No Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank).

 

(B)          Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocable to its

 

42



 

ratable share of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 1.27(d) .

 

(C)          With respect to any commitment fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to the LC Issuer’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

 

(iv)          Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure .  All or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitments) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate outstanding credit exposure of any Non-Defaulting Bank to exceed such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitments.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

(v)           Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans .  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Overstock shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.27(d) .

 

(b)           Defaulting Bank Cure .  If Borrowers, the Administrative Bank, the Swing Line Bank and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Bank will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Bank may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility LCs and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 1.27(a)(iv) ), whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

 

43



 

(c)           New Swing Line Loans/Facility LCs .  So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Facility LC unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect thereto.

 

(d)           Cash Collateral .  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Bank or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Bank) Overstock shall cash collateralize the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank (determined after giving effect to Section 1.27(a)(iv) .

 

(i)            Grant of Security Interest .  Overstock, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Defaulting Bank, hereby grants to the Administrative Bank, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below.  If at any time the Administrative Bank determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Bank and the LC Issuer as herein provided or other than Permitted Encumbrances, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is inadequate in amount, Overstock will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Bank, pay or provide to the Administrative Bank additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank).

 

(ii)           Application .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 1.27 in respect of Facility LCs shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(iii)          Termination of Requirement .  Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the LC Issuer’s fronting exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 1.27(d)  following (i) the elimination of the applicable fronting exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank), or (ii) the reasonable determination by the Administrative Bank and the LC Issuer that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 1.27 the Person providing cash collateral and the LC Issuer may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated fronting exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by Overstock, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

Section 1.28         Yield Protection .   If, after the date of this Agreement, there occurs any Change in Law which:

 

(a)           subjects any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer, or the Administrative Bank to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded

 

44



 

Taxes, and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

 

(b)           imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate), or

 

(c)           imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans and, in each case, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of the Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Bank or the LC Issuer as the case may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the amount received by such Person in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein,

 

(d)           then such Person may notify Overstock that events or conditions have occurred that may result in such increased costs or reduction in amounts to be received (the “Event Notice”).  Once the amount of the increased costs or reductions in amounts to be received is determined, such Person may give notice thereof (a “Payment Notice”), and within thirty (30) days of the Payment Notice, Overstock shall pay such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for the such increased costs or reductions in amounts to be received.  Overstock shall not be required to compensate such Person pursuant to this Section 1.28 for any increased costs or reductions suffered prior to the date that such Person sends the Event Notice.   The method of determining any amount payable to such Person under this Section 1.28 shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Person in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit.  Such Person shall provide to Overstock a statement of the amount and basis of calculation of any such increased costs or reduction in return.

 

Section 1.29         Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations .   If a Bank or the LC Issuer determines reasonably that the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Bank or the LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Bank or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law that occurs after the date of this Agreement or (ii) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, such Bank or the LC Issuer may notify Overstock that such events or conditions have occurred that may result in a shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Bank or the LC Issuer determines reasonably is attributable to this Agreement, its Revolving Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs,

 

45



 

as the case may, after taking into account such Bank’s or the LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity (the “Event Notice”).  Once the amount necessary to compensate such Bank or the LC Issuer for the shortfall in the rate of return is determined, such Bank or the LC Issuer may give notice thereof (a “Payment Notice”), and within thirty (30) days of the Payment Notice, Overstock shall pay such Bank or the LC Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for the such shortfall in the rate of return.  Overstock shall not be required to compensate Banks pursuant to this Section 1.29 for any shortfall in the rate of return suffered prior to the date that the Bank or the LC Issuer sends the Event Notice.   The method of determining any amount payable to a Bank under this Section 1.29 shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Bank or the LC Issuer in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit.  The Bank or the LC Issuer shall provide to Overstock a statement of the amount and basis of calculation of any such shortfall in the rate of return.

 

Section 1.30         Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate .   If the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks determine reasonably that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund the Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate are not available to such Banks in the relevant market or the Administrative Bank, in consultation with the Banks, determines reasonably that the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate, then the Administrative Bank shall suspend the availability of Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate and require any affected Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Based Rate to be repaid or converted to Revolving Loans at the Base Rate, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 1.31 .

 

Section 1.31         Funding Indemnification .   If (a) any payment of a Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable interest period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate is not made on the date specified by a Borrower for any reason other than default by the Banks, (c) a Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate is converted other than on the last day of the interest period applicable thereto, (d) a Borrower fails to borrow, convert, or prepay any Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) any Loan at the LIBOR Based Rate is assigned other than on the last day of the interest period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower, the Borrowers will indemnify each Bank for such Bank’s costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as determined reasonably by such Bank) incurred as a result of such prepayment.  The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Bank resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Bank would have earned (from the investments in Money Markets as of the Borrowing Date of such advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Bank will actually earn (from like investments in Money Markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment.  Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrowers agree that Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value.

Section 1.32         Taxes .

 

(a)           Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.32 ) the applicable Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)           The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Bank timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)           The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Banks, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.32 ) payable or paid by such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Bank, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Bank and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank or LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Bank), or by the Administrative Bank on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Bank, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Bank for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Bank in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Bank to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Bank to such Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Bank under this paragraph (d).

 

(e)           As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 1.32 , such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Bank.

(D)          if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Bank such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Bank as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

49



 

amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

50



 

(iii)          in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation Section 1.28 or Section 1.29 , or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 1.32 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(iv)          such assignment does not violate applicable Laws; and

 

No Bank shall be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 3.5                                  Loan in Balance  Banks shall not be obligated to make any Advance on the Real Estate Loan proceeds unless and until O.Com has provided Administrative Bank with evidence reasonably acceptable to Administrative Bank that the Real Estate Loan is “In Balance”.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “In Balance” means that (a) O.Com has paid, in cash, costs of the Project shown in the Budget, equal to at least the amount of item (i) under O.Com’s Equity (not including any payments to a Related Party that Administrative Bank does not permit to be included as a portion of O.Com’s Equity); (b) as to any line item in the Budget, all remaining unpaid costs of completing such line item, as determined by Administrative Bank , do not exceed the amount of the Real Estate Loan proceeds allocated to such line item, as reflected in the Budget, and not yet advanced by Banks (plus any unused contingency amount in the Budget that may be applied by O.Com at its discretion); (c) as to the Project, all remaining unpaid cost of construction of the Project, as reasonably determined by Administrative Bank do not exceed the amount of the Real Estate Loan proceeds not yet advanced by Banks plus item (ii) under O.Com’s Equity; and (d) O.Com is in compliance with the Loan to Value Requirement as established by the most recent Bank Approved Appraisal required by this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Administrative Bank or O.Com reasonably determines that the unadvanced balance of the Real Estate Loan proceeds plus item (ii) in O.Com’s Equity is insufficient to (i) cover any cost allocation set forth on the Budget, and (ii) pay all costs and expenses of Completion, it shall notify the other parties hereto of such determination, and O.Com shall, within five (5) Business Days following demand made to O.Com, deposit with Administrative Bank funds equal to said insufficiency in order to bring the Real Estate Loan back In Balance.  In addition, in the event there is an increase in any cost category line item of the Budget, that is not to be funded through a re-allocation of the amounts set forth in the Budget that is permitted hereby, O.Com shall, within five (5) Business Days following demand made to O.Com, deposit with Administrative Bank funds in an amount necessary to bring said line item back “In Balance.”  All sums so deposited shall be advanced by Administrative Bank to pay costs of the Project in the same manner as, and prior to, further Advances on the Real Estate Loan proceeds hereunder.  In the event that (i) funds are deposited by O.Com pursuant to this Section 3.5 , (ii) those funds are used to achieve Completion, and (iii) not all of the Real Estate Commitment is advanced to achieve Completion, O.Com may request in writing a final Advance on the Real Estate Loan prior to Conversion in the amount of the lesser of (x) all amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 3.5 and used to achieve Completion and (y) the remaining undisbursed amount of the Real Estate Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, such amounts may be distributed by O.Com to Overstock if the requirements for such a distribution under Section 5.22 are met.  The Administrative Bank agrees to provide to O.Com on request, the calculations used by the Administrative Bank in any determination that the Real Estate Loan is not “In Balance.”

Administrative Bank may retain the Inspecting Architect and any other Consultants deemed necessary or desirable by Administrative Bank, at O.Com’s expense, to make periodic inspections of the Project and to review all change orders and the change order log relating to the Project.  Administrative Bank may request the Inspecting Architect, before any Advance on the Real Estate Loan proceeds is made, to inspect all work and materials for which payment is requested and all other work upon the Project, review the current Draw Request, approve such work and Draw Request and/or submit to Administrative Bank a progress inspections report.  Administrative Bank may also retain such other Consultants as Administrative Bank deems necessary or convenient to perform such services as may, from time to time, be required by Administrative Bank in connection with the Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Project.

 

Neither O.Com, nor General Contractor, nor any third party shall have the right to use or rely upon the reports of the Inspecting Architect or any other reports generated by Administrative Bank, any Bank or any Consultant for any purpose whatsoever, whether made prior to or after commencement of construction work with respect to the Improvements.  O.Com shall be responsible for making its own inspections of the Project during the course of such construction work and shall determine to its own satisfaction that the work done and materials supplied are in accordance with applicable contracts with its contractors.  By advancing funds after any inspection of the Project by Banks or the Inspecting Architect, Administrative Bank and Banks shall not be deemed to waive any Event of Default, waive any right to require construction defects to be corrected in accordance with this Agreement, or acknowledge that all construction conforms with the Plans.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Administrative Bank shall determine reasonably as a result of such inspections that the actual quality or value of the work performed or the materials furnished does not correspond in a material respect with the quality or value of the work required by the Plans, Administrative Bank shall notify O.Com of its objections thereto, and, upon demand, O.Com shall correct the conditions to which Administrative Bank reasonably objects.

 

Section 3.7                                  Banks’ Responsibilities  It is expressly understood and agreed that neither Administrative Bank nor any Bank assumes any liability or responsibility for the sufficiency of the Loan proceeds to complete the Project, for protection of the Project, for the adequacy of the Plans, the compliance of the Project and/or Plans with Governmental Requirements, for the satisfactory completion of the Project, for inspection during construction or to notify O.Com, General Contractor or any other party of any construction defects, for the adequacy or accuracy of the Budget, for any representations made by O.Com, or for any acts on the part of O.Com or its contractors to be performed in connection with the construction of the Project.

Section 3.8                                  Procedures for Advances on Real Estate Loan .

 

(a)                                  Request for Advances .  Any request by O.Com for an Advance on the Real Estate Loan shall be made at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the requested advance and within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, Administrative Bank shall provide a complete copy of such request for advance to the Banks.

 

(b)                                  All Advances .  Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of any Advance on the Real Estate Loan pursuant to a request by O.Com, Administrative Bank shall give prompt written notice, by facsimile, electronic mail or other means, to each Bank of the anticipated advance, the date of the advance and each Bank’s Percentage thereof.  Each Bank, by not later than 12:00 p.m. (Salt Lake City time) on the date of such advance, shall make available to Administrative Bank, in immediately available funds, such Bank’s Percentage of such advance.  If Administrative Bank receives each Bank’s portion of the advance on or before 12:00 p.m. (Salt Lake City time) and unless any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied (in which case Administrative Bank will promptly notify O.Com in writing of such failure to meet a condition), Administrative Bank will make the amount of the requested advance available to O.Com by 1:00 p.m. (Salt Lake City time) on such date.

 

Unless Administrative Bank shall have been notified by any Bank in writing, prior to the date of an Advance on the Real Estate Loan, that such Bank does not intend to make available to Administrative Bank its Percentage of such Advance, Administrative Bank may (but is not required to) assume that each Bank has made such amount available to Administrative Bank on such date, and Administrative Bank may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to O.Com a corresponding amount.  Should any Bank fail to make available to Administrative Bank its Percentage of any Advance on the Real Estate Loan required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof (such Bank in such case being a Defaulting Bank), the other Banks shall nevertheless be obligated to make available to Administrative Bank their respective Percentages of the advance, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make available to Administrative Bank such other Bank’s Percentage of any such payment.  O.Com and any Defaulting Bank jointly and severally agree to repay to Administrative Bank on demand the amount payable by any Defaulting Bank, together with interest thereon at the Loan Rate if paid by O.Com and at the rate specified below, if repaid by Defaulting Bank; provided , however , if such Defaulting Bank shall pay to Administrative Bank its Percentage of any Advance on the Real Estate Loan together with interest thereon as provided in this Section, the amount paid shall constitute such Defaulting Bank’s Advance for purposes of this Agreement, and, after such repayment, Defaulting Bank shall again be a Bank for the purposes of this Agreement.  So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank hereunder, (i) the Defaulting Bank shall pay to Administrative Bank interest (and interest shall accrue and be payable thereon) on Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of such Advance on the Real Estate Loan until such advance is paid to Administrative Bank at a rate equal to the Loan Rate commencing on the date such Advance was to have been made to Administrative Bank, and (ii) it shall not be deemed to be a Bank for the purposes of determining whether all Banks have approved or given their consent to any action, inaction or other matter under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Defaulting Bank be entitled to receive any repayment of its Percentage of any Advances on the Real Estate Loan (or any interest earned thereon) until such time as all Banks which are not Defaulting Banks have received repayment in full of their Real Estate Notes,

 

61



 

together with all interest thereon and other amounts due to such Banks hereunder.  In addition to the remedies set forth in this Section 3.8 , O.Com and Administrative Bank shall be entitled to pursue all other remedies available at law or in equity against any Defaulting Bank.

 

Section 3.9                                  Retainage .

 

(a)                                  The retainage of five percent (5.0%) set forth in the General Contract shall not be paid to the Contractor until the retainage is released in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)                                  Administrative Bank shall authorize the release of the retainage amount only upon the fulfillment of the following conditions; provided, however, that Administrative Bank may authorize the early release of retainage so long as O.Com has provided Administrative Bank with a final lien release from the applicable subcontractor and evidence that the surety that has bonded such subcontractor has consented to such release, if applicable:

 

(i)                                      All other conditions for disbursement shall continue to be met;

 

(ii)                                   The final $2,860,000 portion of O.Com Equity has been contributed;

 

(iii)                                The elements of Completion have been met;

 

(iv)                               Administrative Bank shall have received conditional final lien releases from the General Contractor, and all subcontractors with respect to the work performed in connection with the construction and equipping of the Improvements;

 

(v)                                  Administrative Bank shall have received tax receipts evidencing the payment of the current year’s real estate taxes and assessments to the extent such taxes and assessments are then due and payable; and

 

(vi)                               Administrative Bank shall have received a letter from O.Com whereby O.Com represents and warrants that O.Com has inspected the construction work with respect to the Project and, to its Knowledge, such construction work, except for punch list items, have been completed in accordance with the applicable Plans;

 

(vii)                            At Administrative Bank’s request, receipt by Administrative Bank of final “as built” plans for the Improvements; and

 

(viii)                         If required by Administrative Bank, Administrative Bank shall have received a detailed inventory certified by an authorized signatory of O.Com, showing make, model, valuation and location of all material fixtures and equipment (except fixtures and equipment of tenants) used in the operation or maintenance of any part of the Improvements and located on the Project.

Section 9.11                           Sale of Loan or Participations .

 

The Banks reserve the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Banks’ rights and obligations under the Loan Documents subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9.11 .  In that connection, the Banks may disclose to any potential participant permitted under Section 9.11(b)  or any potential assignee permitted under Section 9.11(c)  all documents and information the Banks now or hereafter may have relating to the Loan, Borrowers, or their respective businesses, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, any potential participant or assignee has been approved in writing by Administrative Bank in accordance with this Section 9.11 .

 

(a)                                  Any Bank may at any time, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank and Borrowers (which respective consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) grant to one or more Persons (each a “ Participant ”) participating interests in its Commitments, in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and multiples of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) in excess thereof, and any or all of its advances made under the Loans; provided, that the written consent of Administrative Bank shall not be required if said Person is an Eligible Assignee and provided further that Borrowers shall have deemed to have given its consent in the event Borrowers have not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days after receiving a written request for such consent.  In addition to the participations permitted by the preceding sentence, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank (which consent may be granted or withheld by Administrative Bank in its sole and absolute discretion), but, to avoid all doubt, without any notice to or consent from Borrowers, grant participating interests in the Bank’s Commitments to any Person.  In the event of any grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Bank will remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Bank will continue to deal solely and directly with that Bank in connection with that Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest must provide that Bank will retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, other than amendments, modifications or waivers that require the consent of all Banks pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof.  An assignment or other transfer not permitted by Section 9.11(c)  below will be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance

 

89



 

with this subsection, and then only to the extent that such assignment or other transfer satisfies the requirements of this subsection.

 

(b)                                  Any Bank may at any time, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank and Borrowers (which respective consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign to one or more Persons (each an “ Assignee ”) all or a proportionate part of its rights and obligations under the Commitments, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents which, unless all of such rights are assigned, shall be in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and multiples of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) in excess thereof, on condition that the Assignee assumes the transferor Bank’s rights and obligations to the extent assigned, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (when fully executed, an “ Assignment ”) executed by the Assignee and the transferor Bank and acknowledged by Administrative Bank; provided, that the written consent of Administrative Bank shall not be required if said Person is an Eligible Assignee, and provided further that Borrowers shall have deemed to have given its consent in the event Borrowers have not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days after receiving a written request for such consent.  In addition to any assignments permitted by the preceding sentence, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may, after notice to and written consent from Administrative Bank (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but, to avoid all doubt, without any notice to or consent from Borrowers, assign all or a proportionate part of its rights and obligations under the Commitments, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents to any other Person, on condition that the Assignee assumes the transferor Bank’s rights and obligations to the extent assigned pursuant to an Assignment executed by the Assignee and the transferor Bank and acknowledged by Administrative Bank.  Borrowers and Banks hereby agree to execute and deliver any documents reasonably requested by Administrative Bank in connection with the sale or assignment contemplated hereby (including one or more replacement Notes).

 

Upon execution and delivery of the Assignment and payment by the Assignee to the transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between the transferor Bank and the Assignee, the Assignee will be a Bank party to this Agreement and have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with Commitments as set forth in the Assignment, and the transferor Bank will be released from its obligation hereunder to a corresponding extent (except with respect to pre-existing liabilities and obligations), and no further consent or action by any party will be required.  Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.11(c) , the transferor Bank, Administrative Bank and Borrowers will make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, one or more replacement Notes are issued.  In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank must pay to Administrative Bank an administrative fee in the amount of $3,500.

 

(c)                                   Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank.  No such assignment will release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

 

(d)                                  No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights will be entitled to receive any greater payment than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred.

(e)                                   Except for a participation or assignment by Administrative Bank (whose costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Borrowers), unless an Event of Default shall exist, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Bank’s expenses in connection with any such participation or assignment.

 

Section 9.12                           Time of the Essence  Time is of the essence hereof with respect to the dates, terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 9.15                           Borrower-Bank Relationship  The relationship between Borrowers and Banks created hereby and by the other Loan Documents shall be that of a borrower and a lender only, and in no event shall Banks and Administrative Bank be deemed to be a partner of, or a joint venturer with, Borrower.

 

Section 9.16                           Joint and Several Liability  To the extent that any obligation, covenant or representation under any of the Loan Documents is undertaken or made by Borrowers collectively, the obligations of Borrowers with respect to such collective obligation, covenant or representation shall be joint and several.

 

Section 9.17                             Accounting .   Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP; provided, however that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, or (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.  If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Bank or the Required Banks shall so request, the Administrative Bank, the Banks and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (with any such agreement subject to the approval of the Required Banks as well as the approval of the Administrative Bank and the Borrowers), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Bank and the Banks reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation,

ADMINISTRATIVE BANK

 

Section 10.1                           Appointment, Powers and Immunities  Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Bank to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Bank by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Administrative Bank shall be a party to each of the Loan Documents (other than the Notes) as secured party, beneficiary, indemnitee, and such other applicable capacities, on behalf of and for the benefit of Banks (and each Bank hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Loan Documents so executed and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof) and hold all collateral covered thereby for the benefit of the Banks, and receive all payments or proceeds received in connection therewith for the undivided benefit and protection of the Banks in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  As soon as practicable after each such receipt of proceeds by Administrative Bank, Administrative Bank shall determine the respective amounts to be distributed in accordance with the Loan Documents and promptly thereafter shall credit to itself the amount to which it is entitled (as Administrative Bank, Bank or otherwise) and wire the amounts to which the other Banks are entitled in accordance with such written instruction as each Bank from time to time may deliver to Administrative Bank.  Each Bank shall hold its own Note and shall receive a copy of each Loan Document.  Administrative Bank (which term as used in this Section 10.1 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents) shall not:

 

(a)                                  have any 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 fiduciary or trustee for any Bank except to the extent that Administrative Bank acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Bank have any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers nor shall any Bank have any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or any other Bank;

 

(b)                                  be responsible to the Banks 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 or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by a Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its Obligations hereunder or thereunder;

 

(c)                                   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 for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;

 

92



 

(d)                                  except to the extent expressly instructed in writing by the Required Banks with respect to collateral security under the Loan Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and

 

(e)                                   be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Governmental Requirement.

 

The relationship between and among Administrative Bank and each Bank is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Bank any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Administrative Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.  Administrative Bank 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 Administrative Bank pursuant to Section 9.11 .  Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 10.8 , 10.10 , 10.11(g) , 10.14 and 10.18 , the provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of Administrative Bank and the Banks, and the Borrowers shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Administrative Bank and Banks may, pursuant to a written agreement executed by all such Persons, modify or waive such provisions of this Article X in their sole and absolute discretion

 

Section 10.2                           Reliance by Administrative Bank  Administrative Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, document or other communication (including 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 Administrative Bank.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Bank shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

 

Section 10.3                           Borrower Defaults .

 

(a)                                  Administrative Bank shall give the Banks notice of any Default of which Administrative Bank has knowledge or notice.  Except with respect to (i) the nonpayment of principal, interest or any fees that are due and payable under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) Defaults with respect to which Administrative Bank has actually sent written notice of to the Borrower and (iii) Defaults with respect to which Administrative Bank has entered into discussions with a Borrower, Administrative Bank shall be deemed to not have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless Administrative Bank has received notice from a Bank or a Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.  If Administrative Bank has such knowledge or receives such a notice from a Borrower or a Bank in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the occurrence of a Default, Administrative Bank shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks.  Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Default from Administrative Bank to the Banks (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Bank determines is necessary), in the event

 

93



 

Administrative Bank wishes to take any action requiring the consent of Required Banks or all of the Banks (as provided in this Agreement), Administrative Bank and the Banks shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action.  Administrative Bank shall (subject to Section 10.7 ) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks or the Banks, as applicable; provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 10.9 hereof, Administrative Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action (including decisions (a) to make Protective Advances (subject to the limitation set forth in the definition thereof) that Administrative Bank determines reasonably are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (b) to foreclose on the Project or exercise any other remedy), with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Banks and (ii) no actions approved by the Required Banks shall violate the Loan Documents or any Governmental Requirements.

 

(b)                                  Each of the Banks acknowledges and agrees that no individual Bank may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes) other than through Administrative Bank.  Administrative Bank shall advise the Banks of all actions which Administrative Bank takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3 .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Banks shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Bank, 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 Administrative Bank; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Bank pursuant to Section 10.3(a)  shall be valid and binding on each Bank.

 

(c)                                   All money 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 Administrative Bank for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.3(d) , (e)  and (f)  and 10.5 and to the payment of any fees and charges then due to Administrative Bank to the extent not paid by Borrowers; second, to the Banks for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3(d) , (e)  and (f)  and 10.5 ; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Banks for any advances made pursuant to Section 10.3(d) ; fourth, pari passu to the Banks in accordance with their pro rata percentage of Obligations held by them (excluding those items set forth in first through third and fifth of this subsection (c)), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 10.11 , in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Bank and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Bank; and Fifth to repayment of amounts due under any Bank-Provided Hedging Transaction.

 

(d)                                  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, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentage.  The Banks shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Bank their respective Percentage of (i) any expenses incurred by Administrative Bank in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by the Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Loan 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 respective Commitments of the

 

94



 

Banks, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by the Borrowers.  To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Bank shall be paid its Percentage of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of Administrative Bank.

 

(e)                                   If any action is brought to collect on the Notes, foreclose under the Mortgage, or enforce any of the Loan Documents, 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 Administrative Bank and the Banks, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Loan Documents, and counsel selected by Administrative Bank shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Bank and the Banks, and Administrative Bank and the Banks shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof.  The costs and expenses of foreclosure, to the extent not paid by Borrowers (in accordance with Section 9.2 ) within ten (10) days after Administrative Bank’s demand therefor, will be borne by the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages.

 

(f)                                    If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale, nonjudicial foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Bank in its own name in trust for the Banks or, at Administrative Bank’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Bank on behalf of the Banks.

 

(g)                                   If Administrative Bank (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 Required Banks.  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:  First, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Bank for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 and to the payment of any fees and charges then due agent to the extent not paid by the Borrowers (in accordance with Section 9.2 ); 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 as determined by Administrative Bank; Fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Banks for any advances made pursuant to Section 10.3(d) ; Fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves established at the discretion of Administrative Bank; and Sixth, pari passu to the Banks in accordance with their pro rata percentage of Obligations held by them (excluding those items set forth in First through Fifth and Seventh of this subsection (g), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 10.11 , in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Bank and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Bank (as defined in Section 10.11 ), and Seventh to repayment of amounts due under any Bank-Provided Hedge Transaction.

 

Section 10.4                           Rights as a Bank  With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, U.S. Bank (and any successor acting as “Administrative Bank” hereunder) in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Bank, and the term “Bank” or

 

95



 

“Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Bank in its individual capacity as Bank.  U.S. Bank (and any successor acting as “Administrative Bank” hereunder) and any of its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with the Borrowers (and any of their respective Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Bank, and U.S. Bank (and any such successor) and any of its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from a Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

 

Section 10.5                           Indemnification  Each Bank agrees to indemnify Administrative Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower in accordance with Section 9.2 , but without limiting the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder) ratably in accordance with their Percentage, 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 Administrative Bank in its capacity as Administrative Bank (including by any Bank) 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 (including the costs and expenses that Borrowers are obligated to pay hereunder in accordance with Section 9.2 ) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Bank.

 

Section 10.6                           Non-Reliance on Administrative Bank and Other Banks  Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Bank or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrowers and its decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Bank or any other Bank, 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.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Administrative Bank shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers 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 properties or books of the Borrowers.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by Administrative Bank hereunder, Administrative Bank shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrowers (or any of their Affiliates) that may come into the possession of Administrative Bank or any of its Affiliates.  Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Bank shall not be responsible in any manner to any Bank (or any permitted successor or assign of any Bank), and each Bank represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Administrative Bank for or in respect of, (a) the creditworthiness of Borrowers and the risks involved to such Bank, (b) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Loan Document, (c) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement made therein or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (d) the existence, priority, or perfection of any lien granted or purported to be granted under any Loan Document, or (e) the

observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of Borrowers.

 

Section 10.7                           Failure to Act  Except for action expressly required of Administrative Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Bank 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 Banks of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.5 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 10.8                           Resignation of Administrative Bank  It is agreed by the Banks that Administrative Bank shall remain Administrative Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents throughout the term of the Loans; provided, however, Administrative Bank may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Bank that shall be a Person that (a) meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee and (b) and if such successor Administrative Bank is not a Bank, as long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If no successor Administrative Bank shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Bank’s giving of notice of resignation of the retiring Administrative Bank, then the retiring Administrative Bank may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Bank, that shall be a Person that meets the requirements of clauses (a)  and (b)  above, and if such successor Administrative Bank is not a Bank, Borrowers, as long as no Event of Default exists, shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Bank hereunder by a successor Administrative Bank, such successor Administrative Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Bank, and the retiring Administrative Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the retiring Administrative Bank shall not be discharged from any liabilities which existed prior to the effective date of such resignation.  After any retiring Administrative Bank’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Bank, the provisions of this Section 10.8 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 Administrative Bank.

 

Section 10.9                             Consents and Certain Actions under, and Modifications of, Loan Documents  No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing signed by Required Banks and the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by Administrative Bank (or signed by Administrative Bank with the consent of Required Banks), and such amendment, modification or waiver that would result in any of the following shall not be effective or made without the consent of all Banks if it would result in any of the following:  (a) a waiver of any provision regarding the scheduled payment of principal of or interest on a Loan; (b) the postponement of maturity date under a Loan; (c) the reduction or forgiveness of the principal amount of a Loan; (d) a decrease in a Loan Rate under a Loan or the waiver of any interest

If Administrative Bank solicits any consents or approvals from the Banks under any of the Loan Documents, each Bank shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Bank written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof (or such shorter time as may be required under the applicable Loan Document for Administrative Bank to respond, in which case Banks shall have the same time period minus one (1) Business Day); provided that if any Bank does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Bank shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Bank to vote such Bank’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Bank’s solicitation as Administrative Bank elects.  Any such solicitation by Administrative Bank 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 Administrative Bank’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.

 

Section 10.10                    Authorization  Administrative Bank is hereby authorized by the Banks to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Bank is or is intended to be a party and each Bank agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Bank contained in such Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.11                    Defaulting Banks with Respect to Real Estate Loan .

 

(a)                                  In addition to the provisions of Section 1.27 , if any Defaulting Bank shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Advance on the Real Estate Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its Percentage of an Advance on the Real Estate Loan or disbursement to protect the Project or the lien of the Loan Documents on the Project, Administrative Bank and any of the Non-Defaulting Banks may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of such advance; provided, however, that Administrative Bank or such Non-Defaulting Bank gives the Defaulting Bank and Administrative Bank three (3) Business Days prior notice of its intention to do so.  The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Bank shall be exercisable first by Administrative Bank, and then by the Non-Defaulting Bank holding the greatest Percentage, and thereafter to each of the Non-Defaulting Banks in descending order of their respective Percentage or in such other manner as the Required Banks (excluding the Defaulting Bank) may agree on.  Any Bank making all or any portion of a Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of the applicable Advance on the Real Estate Loan in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “ Special Advance Bank ”.  Subject to a Defaulting Bank’s right to cure as provided in subsection (f), but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary

 

98



 

contained in this Agreement, the Defaulting Bank’s interest in, and any amounts due to a Defaulting Bank under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall be subordinate in lien priority and to the repayment of all amounts (including, without limitation, interest) then or thereafter due or to become due to the other Banks under the Loan Documents, and the Defaulting Bank thereafter shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by the Banks hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents.  Further, subject to subsection (f) below, any Defaulting Bank shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Bank and/or the other Banks under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Defaulting Bank becoming a Defaulting Bank and, during such period, the Commitments of and outstanding principal amount held by such Defaulting Bank shall be disregarded in any determination requiring the approval of the Banks or the Required Banks hereunder.

 

(b)                                  In any case where a Non-Defaulting Bank becomes a Special Advance Bank (i) the Special Advance Bank shall, at the election of such Special Advance Bank, be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “ Advanced Amount ”) bearing interest at the applicable Loan Rate (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Bank shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (and its Percentage shall be disregarded in determining whether any act or decision requiring the approval of the Required Banks shall have been approved) so long as it is a Defaulting Bank.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations of the Banks under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including to make Advances on the Real Estate Loan, to share losses incurred in connection with the Real Estate Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement of the Real Estate Loan, to make advances to preserve the lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Project or to effect completion of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the Percentage occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Bank.  The Special Advance Bank 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 Bank immediately upon demand.  The Defaulting Bank shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Individual Real Estate Commitment from the Special Advance Bank pursuant to subsection (f) below by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.

 

(c)                                   A Special Advance Bank shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Bank, Administrative Bank and each of the other Banks (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Bank shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Bank’s senior participation in the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Bank, give notice to the Defaulting Bank, Administrative Bank and each of the other Banks 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 Bank’s senior participation.  Provided that Administrative Bank has received notice of such participation, Administrative Bank shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Bank with

 

99



 

respect to a Special Advance Bank’s senior participation as Administrative Bank 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 Banks, shall make payments to the Special Advance Bank with respect to a Special Advance Bank’s senior participation in the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment out of the Defaulting Bank’s share of any such distributions.

 

(d)                                  A Defaulting Bank shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Bank all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Bank from the Borrowers, 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 Bank may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Bank, it being the express intention of the Banks that the Special Advance Bank shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.

 

(e)                                   Nothing contained in Section 10.11(a) , (f)  or (h)  shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Bank’s obligations as a Bank hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents or impair the Borrowers’ right to exercise their remedies against such Defaulting Bank which remedies shall include, without limitation, the recovery of any losses, costs and expenses incurred as a result thereof.  Each Defaulting Bank shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Bank and each of the other Banks 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 Bank’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Bank became a Defaulting Bank due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Bank and/or any Bank.  Administrative Bank shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Bank pursuant to the terms of subsection (c)  above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Bank for the claims of Administrative Bank and the other Non-Defaulting Banks pursuant to this indemnity.

 

(f)                                    A Defaulting Bank may cure a default arising out its failure to fund its Percentage of an Advance on the Real Estate Loan, and subject to the following, upon such cure shall no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank as a result thereof, if, within five (5) days (the “ Default Cure Period ”) of such default, it pays the full amount of the Unpaid Amount, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such Advanced Amount was so paid by the Special Advance Bank until the date the Special Advance Bank recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in the event such cure is made within three (3) Business Days of such default; provided, however, if such Defaulting Bank fails to cure such default within such three (3) Business Days, the Special Advance Bank shall be entitled to recover, and such Defaulting Bank shall pay, such amount, on demand from Administrative Bank, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on such third (3rd) Business Day until the date the Special Advance Bank recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for each such day.  If a Defaulting Bank pays the Unpaid Amount and interest due thereon within the Default Cure Period (or thereafter with the consent of Administrative Bank), such Defaulting Bank nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Bank and/or the other Banks under, any Loan

 

100



 

Document which is made subsequent to the Bank’s becoming a Defaulting Bank and prior to its curing the default as provided in this Section 10.11(f) ; provided that such amendment or waiver of action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  A Defaulting Bank shall have absolutely no right to cure any default after the expiration of the Default Cure Period unless Administrative Bank, in its sole discretion, elects to permit such cure.

 

(g)                                   If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank and none of the other Banks becomes a Special Advance Bank pursuant to Section 10.11(a) , the Borrowers shall have the right, provided there exists no Default or Event of Default that has not arisen as a result of the Defaulting Bank’s failure to fund, to cause another financial institution acceptable to Administrative Bank to assume the Defaulting Bank’s obligations with respect to the Advance Amount on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a “ Replacement Bank ”).  It shall be a condition to such assumption that the Replacement Bank concurrently assumes the obligations of the Defaulting Bank with respect to the unfunded portion of the Individual Real Estate Commitment of such Defaulting Bank.  Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Bank.  Upon such assumption, the Replacement Bank shall become a “Bank” for all purposes hereunder, with an Individual Real Estate Commitment in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, and the Defaulting Bank’s Individual Real Estate Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the Advance Amount.  In connection with the foregoing, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Bank and the Defaulting Bank replacement notes (the “ Replacement Notes ”).  Such Replacement Notes shall be in amounts equal to, in the case of the Replacement Bank’s note, the Advance Amount and, in the case of the Defaulting Bank’s note, its Individual Real Estate Commitment, as reduced as aforesaid.  Such Replacement Notes shall constitute “ Note ” or “ Notes ” and the obligations evidenced thereby shall be secured by the Mortgage.  In connection with the Borrowers’ execution of Replacement Notes as aforesaid, the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Bank such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the replacement notes and any related documents as Administrative Bank may reasonably request.  The execution and delivery of Replacement Notes as required above shall be a condition precedent to any further Advances.  Upon receipt of its Replacement Note, the Defaulting Bank will return to the Borrowers its Note(s) that was replaced; provided that the delivery of a Replacement Note to the Defaulting Bank pursuant to this Section 10.11(g)  shall operate to void and replace the Note previously held by the Defaulting Bank regardless of whether or not the Defaulting Bank returns same as required hereby.

 

(h)                                  In addition to the foregoing, in the event the Defaulting Bank has not cured such default within the Default Cure Period, Administrative Bank (unless the Bank serving in the capacity of Administrative Bank is the Defaulting Bank) and the Non-Defaulting Banks, shall, in accordance with the priority established pursuant to Section 10.11(a)  above, be entitled to purchase such Defaulting Bank’s entire Individual Real Estate Commitment, excluding accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of all Advances which have been funded by such Defaulting Bank as of the date of such purchase.

 

(i)                                      Each Borrower, the Administrative Bank and Banks shall, at the Borrowers’ expense with respect to each Bank’s reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith, execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in

 

101



 

the reasonable judgment of Administrative Bank, be necessary in order to effect the substitution of Banks in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.11 .  The Banks shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrowers’ attempts to obtain a Replacement Bank, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

 

Section 10.12                    Amendments Concerning Agency Functions  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Bank shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

 

Section 10.13                    Liability of Administrative Bank  Administrative Bank shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrowers on account of the failure of any Bank (other than Administrative Bank in its capacity as a Bank) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Bank on account of the failure of a Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

 

Section 10.14                    Transfer of Agency Function  Without the consent of Borrowers or any Bank, Administrative Bank may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Bank hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States so long as such transfer could not reasonably be expected to result in an increased liability of Borrowers under Section 1.28 , Section 1.29 or Section 1.32 ; provided that Administrative Bank shall promptly notify Borrowers and the Banks thereof.

 

Section 10.15                    Sharing of Payments, Etc  If any Bank shall obtain from a Borrower 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 through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Bank as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Bank 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 such Borrower to such Bank than the percentage received by any other Bank, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Banks (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 Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Bank 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 Banks.  To such end, all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  Each Bank agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Bank (for distribution by Administrative Bank to the other Banks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Banks.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits

 

102



 

of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower.  If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which Section 10.15 applies, then such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under Section 10.15 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

 

Section 10.16                    Bankruptcy of a Borrower  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to a Borrower, Administrative Bank (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Bank shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, and shall have the sole and exclusive right, on behalf of the Banks, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and Administrative Bank (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Banks and Administrative Bank and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Banks and Administrative Bank under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same to Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to Administrative Bank and, in the event that Administrative Bank shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to Administrative Bank any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and Advances of Administrative Bank and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Bank under the Loan Documents.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Bank to authorize or consent to a accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or the LC Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or the LC Issuer or authorize Administrative Bank to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank or the LC Issuer in any such proceeding.

 

Section 10.17                    Termination  The rights and obligations of Administrative Bank and the Banks shall terminate when the Obligations (other than contingent obligations) of Borrowers hereunder have been paid and finally discharged in full and the obligations of the Banks to advance funds to the Borrowers under this Agreement are fully terminated.  All indemnification provisions in favor of Administrative Bank and Banks herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

 

Section 10.18                    Confidentiality  The Administrative Bank and each Bank agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Bank and any other Bank and their respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Administrative Bank or such Bank provided such parties have

 

103



 

been notified of the confidential nature of such information, (iii) as provided in Section 9.11 (subject to a written undertaking by each prospective Participant or Assignee to maintain information on terms substantially similar to this Section 10.18 ), (iv) to regulatory officials, (v) to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (vi) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party, (vii) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties provided such parties have been notified of the confidential nature of such information, (viii) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (ix) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, and (x) to the extent such information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.18 or (2) becomes available to the Administrative Bank, the LC Issuer, the Swing Line Bank or any other Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.  The Borrowers agree that the terms of this Section 10.18 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrowers and the Administrative Bank and each Bank with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Administrative Bank or such Bank in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 10.18 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by the Administrative Bank or any Bank with respect to such confidential information.

 

Section 10.19                    No Agency In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Bank shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for a Borrower or any other Person.

 

Section 10.20                    Funds Not Legally Restricted .  Except with respect to (a) any cash or deposits that Borrowers may pledge to secure Facility LCs and (b) the rights and remedies of Administrative Bank upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a) granting Administrative Bank or the Banks a security interest or other collateral interest in or to or a right of offset against (and providing such rights shall only be exercised upon the occurrence of an Event of Default), any cash or cash equivalents or account in which any such cash may be deposited, or (b) requiring Borrowers to maintain Minimum Liquidity of a specified amount, no funds of Borrowers or either of them, whether held by or in any account with Administrative Bank or any Bank or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be subject to any restriction on any Borrower’s access to or use of any such cash or cash equivalents or account in which any such cash may be deposited.

 

Section 10.21                      Certain Timing Requirements.   Unless (a) the provisions of this Agreement indicate a time period for performance or (b) in an instance in which Borrowers or a Borrower are obligated to provide notice of circumstances that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, in those instances in which a provision of this Agreement requires Borrowers or either Borrower to take action as soon as a Borrower acquires Knowledge of a fact or circumstance, or otherwise purports to require Borrower to take action immediately under circumstances in which it would be impossible for Borrower or Borrowers to do so, such

 

104



 

requirement shall be deemed to require Borrower or Borrowers to take the specified action as promptly as may be practicable under the circumstances.

CERTIFICATE OF ARCHITECT

 

TO:                            U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Administrative Bank”)

 

RE:                            Proposed Construction Loan

 

Gentlemen:

 

I have prepared those plans and specifications (the “Plans and Specifications”) for the Projects more particularly described by title, drawing number, date and latest revision date in Schedule “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

As a licensed architect/engineer in the State of Utah, possessing special knowledge and expertise in the field of architecture and construction, I hereby certify to you that:

 

1.               The land (the “Site”) on which the Project is to be constructed is zoned                 , and such zoning classification permits the intended use of the Project as                                   .  I have examined all relevant laws, regulations and ordinances and have determined that the following restrictions and requirements are applicable to the Project:

 

Minimum Lot Area:

 

 

 

Height Limitation:

 

 

 

Maximum floor area Ratio: (or other type of bulk restriction):

 

 

 

Front Yard Requirements:

 

 

 

Side and Rear Yard Requirements:

 

 

 

Parking Requirements:

 

 

 

Other:

 

 

2.               The Plans and Specifications comply with all applicable federal, state and municipal laws, rules and regulations and ordinances of every nature and description, including, without limitation, zoning, energy, building and fire codes and ordinances, and subdivision control and environmental laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.  The Project, if constructed substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, will likewise comply with all applicable federal, state and municipal laws, rules and regulations and ordinances of every nature and description relating to the construction and intended use thereof, will not have a negative environmental impact and will meet all current environmental requirements of the City of Midvale, the State of Utah, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

 

1



 

3.               I am familiar with the on-the-ground conditions of the Site and the building location, and the condition of the Site are such that all provisions of law relating to the filling, dredging, excavation or other usage of lands classified as wetlands or lands which are subject to periodic flooding or have thereon standing or moving bodies of water are not applicable to the construction of the Project.  I have also reviewed the soils report with respect to the Site prepared by                              dated                               , and have taken the findings and recommendations contained in said report into consideration in preparing the Plans and Specifications.

 

4.               Satisfactory methods of access to and egress from the Project and adjoining or nearby public ways are available, sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Project and all applicable requirements of public authorities.  Sanitary water supply and storm sewer and sanitary sewer facilities and other required utilities (gas, electricity, telephone, etc.) are likewise available, sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Projects and all applicable requirements of public authorities, at or within the lot lines of the Site.  No easements over land or others are required for such means of access and egress or for any such utilities or if any such easements are required that they have been obtained or will be obtained by Owner or Owner’s representatives; and design conditions are such that no drainage of surface or other water across lands of others is called for or indicated by the Plans and Specifications, except                                (if none, so state).

 

5.               I have reviewed and am familiar with the locations of all easements, use restrictions, rights-of-way, subsurface rights and the like as shown on the Boundary survey prepared by                              for                                    dated                            as to the project and the Plans and Specifications have been so prepared that the Project will not violate or encroach over, across or upon any such easements, use restrictions, rights-of-way or subsurface rights and the like, and the Site is not located in a 100-year Flood Plain or in an identified “flood prone area,” as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended.

 

6.               The Project has been designed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the American with Disabilities Act and all other provisions of applicable Utah law relating to the elimination of architectural barriers for the handicapped.

 

7.               All permits, licenses, certificates and approvals required for the construction and intended use of the Project, including, without limitation, building permits, curb-cut permits, permits relating to the use of utilities, and permits required under the Federal Clean Air Act, as amended, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, and by state laws and regulations consistent with the requirements of said Acts, have been validly issued by the appropriate authorities and are now in full force and effect, except as follows:

 

In my opinion, the foregoing excepted certificates, permits and approvals will be issued during the ordinary course of construction.

 

2



 

8.               Attached hereto, as Schedule “B” is a true, correct and complete copy of our errors and omissions insurance policy, or a certificate thereof, which insurance coverage is in full form and effect.  I agree to keep such insurance coverage in full force and effect until the loan has been fully repaid.

 

This Certificate is being given to Administrative Bank in connection with arrangements among the Owner, Administrative Bank and certain Banks for a loan to finance construction of the Project under a Loan Agreement to be executed by the Owner, Overstock.com, Inc., Administrative Bank and certain Banks, and I acknowledge and agree that Administrative Bank and the Banks may rely upon the contents and accuracy of this Certificate in closing the Loan Agreement and in making advances thereunder.

TRUSTOR, TO PROTECT THE PROPERTY AND SECURITY GIVEN BY THIS DEED OF TRUST, HEREBY WARRANTS, COVENANTS AND AGREES AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.             Warranty of Title All of Trustor’s present and future right, title and interest in the Property shall be subject to the lien and other terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust regardless of the

time that any such right, title and interest is created, obtained by or conveyed, transferred or assigned to Trustor.

 

2.              Obligation to Maintain Property; Repairs; Inspection by Beneficiary .

 

(a)           Trustor shall reasonably care for and keep and maintain the Property in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will at all times make such repairs, maintenance, renewals, and replacements as shall be necessary to reasonably maintain the Real Property and abutting grounds, sidewalks, roads, parking and landscape areas in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, all to the same extent as a prudent owner would make.  Trustor shall not substantially alter the Property, except as may be contemplated by the Loan Agreement and except for normal clearing, grading and construction activities, and as may be required by applicable Governmental Requirements.  All replacements of items of the Property will be of a value equal to or greater than the value of the item or items replaced.  Trustor shall not commit, or permit to occur, any material waste upon the Property that would cause a Material Adverse Occurrence to occur.

 

(b)           To Trustor’s Knowledge, (i) the Plans for the improvements on the Property comply with all Governmental Requirements applicable thereto and such Plans and improvements have been, or will be, approved by all Governmental Authorities and (ii) no notice of any violations of Governmental Requirements applicable to the Property has been received, nor have any Governmental Authorities or insurance underwriters required any changes to any Plans as submitted to Beneficiary.  All appropriate Governmental Authorities will have issued, as and when required, all required permits for the construction of the improvements on the basis of the Plans so approved.  Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor will not (i) initiate any zoning reclassification of the Real Property, (ii) seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Real Property, (iii) use or permit the use of the Real Property in a manner than would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other applicable Governmental Requirements, or (iv) impose any restrictive covenants upon the Real Property.  As of the date hereof, no action or proceeding is pending before any court, quasi-judicial body or administrative agency relating thereto.

 

(c)           In the event of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, Trustor shall, to the extent that insurance proceeds are available for rebuilding under Section 3(h)  below, or if an applicable Lease (defined in Section  7 below) requires rebuilding in the absence of available insurance proceeds, promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner repair, rebuild and restore such loss, damage or destruction to its original condition, pay when due all costs incurred, and keep the Property free from all Liens for work performed or materials furnished, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust.  Trustor may contest in good faith the validity or amount of any Lien by appropriate proceedings provided by Governmental Requirements, including payment of the Lien under protest, if required, provided that: (i) Trustor promptly pays any sums found to be due upon a final determination of the contested claim, charge, lien or encumbrance; and (ii) prior to any such contest, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary a cash deposit, bond or other security, in amount and form satisfactory to Beneficiary, to protect Beneficiary against the sale or forfeiture of, or creation of a lien against, the Property.

 

(d)           Upon written notice to Trustor, except in the case of a bona-fide emergency, Beneficiary shall have the right at its sole risk to enter upon the Real Property at any and all reasonable times and to inspect the same to ascertain whether Trustor is in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust.

3.             Insurance .

 

(a)           Trustor shall at all times maintain the insurance required under Section 5.9 and Exhibit I of the Loan Agreement.

 

(b)           Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary whenever requested certificate(s) of insurance in form and substance acceptable to Beneficiary or as required by the Loan Agreement with respect to the foregoing policies stating without limitation (i) that Beneficiary is the sole party named as mortgagee under a standard mortgagee endorsement with such endorsement referenced in and attached to the certificate, (ii) that Beneficiary has been named through endorsement as an additional insured under all liability policies with a copy of that endorsement referenced in and attached to the certificate (including coverage for Beneficiary’s sole negligence and for completed operations and stating that Beneficiary’s status as an additional insured shall be primary and non-contributory), (iii) that Trustor has been permitted by endorsement to enter into a waiver of subrogation with a copy of that endorsement referenced in and attached to the certificate, and (iv) that the insurer has agreed by endorsement to send to Beneficiary thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation for any reason, with a copy of that endorsement referenced in and attached to the certificate.  All endorsements naming, or requiring notice to, Beneficiary shall be held for the ratable benefit of Banks.  All policies shall be issued by companies approved by Beneficiary and having an A-IX or better rating from Alfred M. Best Company, Inc.; all policies and renewals thereof are hereby assigned to Beneficiary.  Upon request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall provide certified copies of any and all of the foregoing policies.  Acceptance of policies tendered by Trustor shall not preclude Beneficiary from requiring other or additional insurance against the same or other hazards.

 

(c)           Trustor will give immediate written notice to Beneficiary of any loss or claim, and Beneficiary may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Trustor.  Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to Beneficiary instead of to Trustor.  Insurance proceeds or any part thereof may be applied by Beneficiary, at its option, either to the reduction or payment of the Deed of Trust Obligations or to the repair, rebuilding and restoration of the Property lost, damaged or destroyed, but Beneficiary shall not be obligated to ensure the proper application of any amount paid over to Trustor.  Irrespective of the dollar amount of the loss or claim, Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with sufficient documentation and information necessary or required by Beneficiary to verify and confirm the exact nature and extent of the damage or destruction to the Property and the amount of funds required to repair or rebuild the Property, together with a budget (which shall be subject to Beneficiary’s approval) describing the repair or restoration work to be performed and the costs of labor and material for each stage of repair or restoration work.  In the event that proceeds are used for the repair, rebuilding and restoration of the Property, insurance proceeds shall be placed in a segregated account with Beneficiary and used for the repair, rebuilding and restoration of the insured loss, through such procedures and with such safeguards for release of such proceeds and payment of construction and related expenses as Beneficiary customarily imposes for advances of construction loan funds, which may include requirements that: (i) Trustor first expend or deposit into the escrow account any difference between the total cost of repair, rebuilding and restoration and the amount of such proceeds; (ii) Trustor, at its expense, promptly prepare and submit to Beneficiary all plans and specifications necessary for the restoration and repair of the damaged Property, together with evidence acceptable to Beneficiary setting forth the total expenditure needed for the restoration and repair based upon a fixed price contract with a reputable builder; (iii) the plans and specifications and all other aspects of the proposed restoration and repair be subject to Beneficiary’s approval in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; (iv) Trustor commence restoration and repair of the damaged Property only after Beneficiary shall have

 

6



 

notified Trustor in writing that the use of proceeds for restoration and repair is allowable under this Section 3, that the required safeguards, procedures and assignments described in this Section 3 are in place and that the plans and specifications and all other aspects of the proposed restoration have been approved by Beneficiary, and Trustor shall thereafter proceed diligently with the restoration and repair until completed; (v) disbursements be made from the escrow account for the restoration and repair in accordance with a disbursement schedule; and (vi) all funds held in the escrow account be assigned to Beneficiary as further security for the Deed of Trust Obligations.  Any insurance proceeds not used for repair or restoration of the Property shall be applied to the last maturing installment of principal due and owing under the Notes.  The Property as rebuilt or restored shall be of at least equal value and substantially identical character as prior to the damage or destruction.

 

(d)           Upon (i) Beneficiary’s receipt of a trustee’s deed or sheriff’s deed to any portion of the Real Property, (ii) the taking by Beneficiary (or a receiver) of possession of the Property, or (iii) a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure if permitted by Beneficiary, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to any property damage and casualty insurance policies then in force, including any right to unearned premiums, shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Beneficiary (or the receiver, as appropriate) and, upon sale, to the purchaser of the Property.  Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary and its successors and assigns as its duly constituted attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to transfer and assign such policies upon the occurrence of any of such events.

 

4.             Payment of Taxes, Assessments and Other Liens or Charges If the Real Property or any lot or parcel thereof is part of a larger tax or assessment parcel, Trustor shall, as soon after recordation of this Deed of Trust as is reasonably possible, cause the tax or assessment parcel to be split or amended so that its boundaries correspond to the boundaries of the Real Property and its lots or parcels.  Trustor may contest in good faith the validity or amount of any tax, assessment or governmental charge by appropriate proceedings provided by law, including payment of the tax, assessment or charge under protest, if required, provided that: (a) Trustor promptly pays any sums found to be due upon a final determination of the contested tax, assessment or governmental charge; and (b) prior to any such contest, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary a cash deposit, bond or other security, in amount and form satisfactory to Beneficiary, to protect Beneficiary against the sale or forfeiture of, or creation of a lien against, the Property.  Trustor shall not consent to, or vote in favor of, the inclusion of any portion of the Real Property in a special improvement, assessment, community facilities or similar district without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.  Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with prompt notice of any written notification that Trustor may receive from any governmental authority or other person of any intent or proposal to form such a district that may include any portion of the Real Property, and Beneficiary shall have the right to object to the same, and to otherwise appear and participate in hearings and other proceedings, in its own name or in Trustor’s name.  Trustor shall pay or cause to be paid when due all charges for water, water delivery, gas, electric power and light, telephone, cable, satellite, sewer, waste removal, bills for repairs, and all other claims, encumbrances and expenses incident to the ownership and occupancy of the Property.

 

5.              Impounds.

 

(a)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, Trustor shall deposit with Beneficiary, in monthly installments, sufficient funds (as determined by Beneficiary) to enable Beneficiary to pay one month before delinquency all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums due with respect to the Property.  Each such installment shall be equal to the amount of estimated taxes and assessments, and premiums for such insurance, next due (as estimated by Beneficiary), less all installments already paid therefor,

 

7



 

divided by the number of months that will elapse before one month prior to the date when such taxes and assessments or premiums shall become delinquent.  If amounts paid to Beneficiary under provisions of this Section 5 are insufficient to discharge the obligation of Trustor for such taxes, assessments or premiums as the same become due, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary upon demand such additional sums as may be required to fully pay and discharge those items.

 

(b)           To the extent deposits are received by Beneficiary and used to pay taxes, assessments and premiums pursuant to this Section 5, such payments shall satisfy Trustor’s obligations to pay such taxes, assessments and premiums pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof.  Any excess funds remaining after payment of all items before delinquency may be remitted to Trustor, or, if an Event of Default then exists, credited on the Deed of Trust Obligations.

 

(c)           Nothing in this Section 5 shall release Trustor from, or shift to Beneficiary, the obligation to pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums as the same become due and payable, or be construed to cause Beneficiary to become a trustee of amounts deposited with Beneficiary; provided, however, Trustor shall not be in default of its obligations under this Deed of Trust to the extent Beneficiary fails to timely release funds from such impounds for the payment of the subject taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and Trustor fails to timely pay the same.  Deposits made under this Section 5 may be commingled with Beneficiary’s general corporate funds, and Beneficiary shall hold those deposits without the payment of interest.  All amounts paid and deposited hereunder are hereby assigned to Beneficiary as additional security for the Deed of Trust Obligations.  If any Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may, at its sole option, apply all or any portion of such deposits to the cure or partial cure of the Event of Default without waiver of or prejudice to the rights of Beneficiary arising by virtue of such Event of Default, or to the payment of principal and interest on the Deed of Trust Obligations, in lieu of applying such deposits for any other purposes.

 

(d)           At Beneficiary’s request, Trustor shall cause to be furnished to Beneficiary a tax reporting service contract satisfactory in nature and duration, and with a company, satisfactory to Beneficiary, with respect to the Real Property.

 

6.             Eminent Domain Any award or payment of damages or compensation in connection with any private trespass or injury to the Real Property, exercise of the right of eminent domain or any condemnation proceeding for public use of or injury to the Real Property or any part thereof, or any right or interest therein, is hereby assigned and payable to Beneficiary, which may apply or release all or any portion of such award, compensation or damages received by it (net of the costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in collecting such amounts) in the same manner, upon the same conditions and with the same effect as provided in Section 3(h)  of this Deed of Trust for the disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance, as if references in Section 3(h)  above to insurance proceeds instead referred to condemnation awards (or amounts paid in lieu thereof) and references to damage and casualty loss instead referred to the taking by condemnation or power of eminent domain (or conveyance in lieu thereof); provided that: (a) any award or compensation attributable to land or to improvements that will not be reconstructed shall be applied to the Deed of Trust Obligations; and (b) if any condemnation or taking renders the remaining portions of the Real Property unsuitable, in the judgment of an independent architect acceptable to Beneficiary and engaged by Trustor, for further development in accordance with the Plans submitted to and approved by Beneficiary as described in Section 3(h)  above, the entire award or compensation shall be applied to the Deed of Trust Obligations.  Beneficiary shall be entitled to join and participate in any eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, including the negotiation and adjudication of any damages, award or settlement, and no stipulation or agreement shall be entered into by Trustor without the prior consent and approval of Beneficiary.  Trustor shall pay or reimburse to Beneficiary the reasonable legal expenses, appraisal and expert witness fees incurred by Beneficiary and any other

 

8



 

reasonable, direct and out-of-pocket costs incurred by Beneficiary because of such eminent domain and condemnation proceedings.  If a cash bond or deposit is to be received by Trustor for the immediate possession of the Real Property, all sums paid shall be applied by Trustor to the Deed of Trust Obligations, unless otherwise agreed by Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding any application of sums paid, only Trustor shall be the withdrawing party of sums paid for the purpose of determining any liability for return of any such cash bond or deposit, and Trustor shall promptly satisfy any claim with respect to any such liability and shall save and hold Beneficiary harmless from any claim for return of such cash bond or deposit, including any claim asserted after the release and reconveyance of this Deed of Trust.  Any condemnation proceeds not used for repair or restoration of the Real Property shall be applied to the last maturing installment of principal due and owing under the Notes.

 

7.              Assignment of Rents, Profits and Leases .

 

(a)           All existing and future rents, revenues, income, receipts, issues and profits of the Property and now or hereafter arising out of any Leases (hereinafter defined) (collectively, “Rents” ) and the entire right, title and interest of Trustor (including the right to exercise any landlord’s liens and any and all other rights and remedies to which Trustor would be entitled under any Lease or by law) in and under all present and future rental agreements, leases, subleases, licenses and all other agreements for the use and occupancy of all or any portion of the Property (including rights in any security deposits and advance rentals held for the benefit of Trustor), together with any extensions, renewals and modifications thereof (collectively, Leases ”), are hereby absolutely assigned and transferred to Beneficiary.  Beneficiary is authorized to give notice of this assignment, and Trustor agrees to execute, and to cause its property managers and affiliates to execute, any and all further commercially-reasonable instruments that Beneficiary may require to perfect this assignment.  Any provision hereof notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default exists, Trustor shall have a license to collect assigned Rents as the same shall fall due.  However, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all right of Trustor to collect or receive such Rents (including those past due and unpaid) shall terminate, whereupon Beneficiary shall be entitled to demand and receive the payment of such Rents (including those past due and unpaid), and to proceed against any lessee or tenant (or its property) and/or any guarantors of the obligations of any lessee or tenant.  In such event, Trustor directs and authorizes the lessees and tenants of the Property and any guarantors to make to Beneficiary all payments required under the applicable Leases; Trustor hereby relieves any and all lessees and tenants from any liability to Trustor that Trustor might otherwise assert by reason of the lessee/tenant’s making such payment to Beneficiary.  All Rents collected by Beneficiary may be applied for the following purposes in any manner and order that Beneficiary deems advisable:

 

(i)            To the payment of all taxes and assessments levied against the Property if provision for paying those items has not otherwise been made;

 

(ii)           To the payment of construction and development and current operating costs and expenses (including management fees, sales taxes, repairs, maintenance and necessary acquisitions of property and expenditures for capital improvements) arising in connection with the Property;

 

(iii)          To the payment of any amounts due and owing to Beneficiary under the terms of the Deed of Trust Obligations (in the order set forth in the Loan Agreement);

 

9



 

(iv)          To the payment of any lease payments under any ground lease or amounts secured by any other mortgage or deed of trust on the Property approved by Beneficiary; and

 

(v)           Any remainder to Trustor or its designee or other assignee.

 

Receipt by Beneficiary of Rents shall not constitute a waiver of any other right that Beneficiary may have under this Deed of Trust or the laws of Utah, nor shall the receipt and application thereof cure any Event of Default or affect any foreclosure proceeding or any sale authorized by this Deed of Trust or the laws of Utah.

 

(b)           Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement or this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent: (i) assign any of the Rents; (ii) collect any unreasonably large security deposits or any rent for more than one month in advance; (iii) change the general nature of the occupancy; (iv) initiate or acquiesce in any zoning reclassification; (v) terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease (except in the ordinary course of business in the exercise of Trustor’s sound business judgment); (vi) amend or modify any Lease to reduce (or effectively reduce by means of rent concessions, rent-free occupancy periods or the granting of tenant improvement allowances) the rent, or to grant any options to purchase or renew or any rights of first refusal; (vii) subordinate, or permit the subordination of, any Lease to the lien of a mortgage or deed of trust that is junior to this Deed of Trust; or (viii) take, fail to take or suffer any action that would impair the security for the Deed of Trust Obligations or Beneficiary’ interest in the Property or the Rents.  Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void.  Trustor shall fully and timely perform all of the obligations of the landlord under all Leases of any portion of the Property and shall enforce, short of termination, the performance by all lessees and tenants of all of their obligations under the Leases.

 

(c)           Beneficiary shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Trustor under any Lease, and Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from any and all liability arising from any of the Leases or from the assignment contained in this Section  7 .  Unless Beneficiary exercises its rights pursuant to Section 18 and, as a result, applicable Governmental Requirements impose such an obligation upon Beneficiary, this Section  7 shall not obligate Beneficiary to manage, care for or repair the Property or make Beneficiary liable for any loss or damage to any tenant, invitee, employee, licensee or any other person resulting from the failure to properly manage, care for or repair the Property.

 

(d)           In the event that Beneficiary exercises its rights to possess and exclude Trustor from the Property pursuant to Section 18 of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have full power and authority to employ such measures as it may deem necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, to enforce the payment or security of the Rents, including actions for the recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer and in distress for rent, and with full power: (i) to cancel or terminate any Lease for any reason that would entitle Trustor to cancel or terminate the same; (ii) to disaffirm any Lease which is subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust; (iii) to extend or modify any then existing Lease and to enter into new Leases, which extensions, modifications and new Leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the maturity date of the Notes and beyond the date of issuance of a deed(s) to a purchaser(s) at a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Trustor agreeing that any such Leases, and the options or other such provisions contained therein, shall be binding upon Trustor and all persons whose interests in the Property are subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust and upon the purchaser(s) at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption, discharge or

 

10



 

satisfaction of the Deed of Trust Obligations or any judgment in foreclosure rendered thereon, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser(s); (iv) to undertake and complete all repairs, decorating, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to the Property as Beneficiary may deem necessary or advisable; (v) to insure the Property and all risks incidental to Beneficiary’s possession, operation and management thereof; and (vi) to receive all of the Rents.

 

8.             Security Agreement .

 

(a)           Creation of Security Interest .  This Deed of Trust constitutes and shall be deemed to be a “security agreement” for all purposes of the Utah Uniform Commercial Code.  With respect to personal property comprising the Property ( “Personal Property” ), whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, wherever located and whether in Trustor’s possession and control or in the possession and control of a third party, Beneficiary is granted a security interest hereunder, and shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Utah Uniform Commercial Code.

(5)           Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary of any claim against the Personal Property adverse to the interest of Beneficiary therein.

9.             Uniform Commercial Code Filings

 

(a)           The filing of one or more financing statements in the records relating to Personal Property shall in no way derogate or impair Beneficiary’s priority or rights on default to exercise either its rights and remedies as a Beneficiary of this Deed of Trust or as a secured party with respect to personal property under the Utah Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC” ) in connection with the items of the Property covered by the UCC.  This Deed of Trust is intended to and shall create a security interest in favor of Beneficiary in those items of the Property which are covered by the UCC, although such items are to be considered fixtures to the fullest extent permitted by Governmental Requirements.

 

(b)           Beneficiary shall also be entitled to proceed as to both the Real Property and all Personal Property or mixed Property and all fixtures in accordance with Beneficiary’s rights and remedies with respect to the Real Property as provided by Utah Code Annotated § 70A-9a-604 (or any replacement statute).

 

13



 

(c)           This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement and a financing statement (fixture filing) and it is hereby recited (to the extent that such recitation is required by Utah Code Annotated § 70A-9a-502 (or any replacement statute) because any portion of the Property may constitute fixtures) that this Deed of Trust is to be filed in the office where a mortgage on the Real Property would be recorded, which is the office of the recorder of the county in which the Real Property is located.  Trustor is the record owner of the Real Property.  Certain UCC financing statement information is set forth in Exhibit B to this Deed of Trust.

 

(d)           Trustor agrees that there shall be no financing statements filed naming Trustor as debtor and describing any of the Property as collateral without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

 

(e)           Trustor irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary to prepare and file, in accordance with the UCC, financing statements, or such other documents as may be required from time to time to create, maintain and perfect the liens and security interests granted herein.  Trustor covenants and agrees that it will not make any change to its legal name, which legal name as shown in the introductory paragraph hereto is true and correct, its state of formation, organization or registration, or the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business, or its organizational structure or governing documents, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.  Trustor further irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (A) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets of Trustor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article  9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or such jurisdiction, or (2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment.  Trustor agrees to furnish any such information to Beneficiary promptly upon request.  Trustor also ratifies its authorization for Beneficiary to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

 

10.          INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

11.          Actions or Proceedings Affecting Property; Duty to Appear Trustor agrees to appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding that may affect the priority of this Deed of Trust or the security, rights or powers of Beneficiary hereunder or that seeks to impose liability on Trustee or Beneficiary because of any act or omission of Trustor, and Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses (including the reasonable cost of searching title) and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in such action or proceeding.  Beneficiary may appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security or priority hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary.  Beneficiary may, if Beneficiary reasonably determines that Trustor is failing or will fail to do so, pay, purchase, contest or compromise any adverse Lien which, in the judgment of Beneficiary, appears to be prior or superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust.  All reasonable amounts paid, suffered or incurred by Beneficiary in exercising the authority granted in this Deed of Trust, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the Deed of Trust Obligations, shall be a lien on the Property and shall be due and payable by Trustor to Beneficiary on demand, together with interest from the date of advance until paid at the Default Rate.

 

12.          Additional Documents Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, upon demand, any additional commercially-reasonable agreements, instruments or documents that Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary to secure to Beneficiary any right or interest granted or intended to be

 

14



 

granted to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust.  In the event any rights, easements or other hereditaments shall hereafter become appurtenant to any part of the Property, they shall become subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust.

 

13.          Sale, Lease or Conveyance by Trustor .

 

(a)           As a condition of its consent to any waiver of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.10 of the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary may require a change in the terms and conditions of repayment of the Deed of Trust Obligations, including payment of a fee, an increase in interest rate payable and/or a reduction in the time remaining prior to the maturity date.

 

(b)           Trustor shall give Beneficiary thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any proposed transaction which requires Beneficiary’s consent, and Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary such information as Beneficiary may reasonably require.  Beneficiary may require, as a condition of its consent to any transfer or conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof, that: (i) any person succeeding to an ownership interest in the Property or any portion thereof assume personal liability for the payment and performance of the Deed of Trust Obligations; (ii) Trustor confirm its continuing obligation and liability for the payment and performance of the Deed of Trust Obligations; (iii) Trustor shall have obtained and provided to Beneficiary evidence of the consent of all guarantors to the transfer and their acknowledgment that the transfer will not in any manner impair the validity or effectiveness of their respective guaranties; (iv) Trustor provide to Beneficiary such documentation, title insurance endorsements, opinions of counsel and other items as Beneficiary may determine are reasonably required or prudent to assure that Beneficiary’s rights under Beneficiary’s loan documents are maintained in full force and effect and are not impaired; (v) Trustor execute such financing statements and other documents as Beneficiary may reasonably require in its conservative discretion in order to continue the perfected status of its security interests with respect to the Property; (vi) Trustor or the transferee reimburse Beneficiary for its reasonable legal expenses in connection with the consideration and documentation of the transfer and assumption; and (vii) no Event of Default shall then exist.  Consent to any one transaction shall not release Trustor from personal liability for the Deed of Trust Obligations or be deemed to constitute consent to any other transaction, and shall in no way obligate Beneficiary to subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any interest created by such sale, transfer, lease, assignment, conveyance, encumbrance or other disposition.

 

(c)           If the ownership of the Property or any portion thereof becomes vested in any person other than Trustor, Beneficiary may deal with such successor(s) in interest with reference to the Deed of Trust Obligations and this Deed of Trust in the same manner as with Trustor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Trustor’s liability hereunder or for payment of the Deed of Trust Obligations.  However, the foregoing sentence shall in no way constitute or imply Beneficiary’s consent to any transfer of the ownership of the Property or any portion thereof.

 

14.          Changes or Modification of Applicable Tax Laws In the event of the imposition after the date of this Deed of Trust of any Governmental Requirement of the United States of America, the State of Utah, or any other domestic or foreign Governmental Authority claiming to have jurisdiction, deducting from the value of real property for the purposes of taxation or assessment any lien thereon or changing in any way the taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust or of debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust or the manner of the collection of any such taxes, and imposing a tax or assessment, either directly or indirectly on this Deed of Trust or the Notes, the sums evidenced or secured thereby or the interest payable thereon, Trustor shall pay the entire tax or assessment in addition to all other payments required hereunder and shall pay any such tax or assessment thereafter levied or assessed against the Real

 

15



 

Property.  The provisions of this Section 14 shall not apply to changes in federal and state income tax laws.

 

15.          Estoppel Certificate/Record Inspection Trustor, within ten (10) business days after written request by Beneficiary, which request shall not be made more than twice in any 12-month period, will furnish to Beneficiary a written statement, duly acknowledged, of the amount of the Deed of Trust Obligations and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Deed of Trust Obligations and such other matters as Beneficiary may reasonably request.

 

16.          Reserved.

 

17.          Events of Default; Acceleration; Remedies Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter while such Event of Default is continuing, Beneficiary may declare the Deed of Trust Obligations to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and Beneficiary may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies described herein and in the other Loan Documents.

 

18.          Beneficiary’s Right to Possession Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, then Beneficiary shall, at its option, be entitled to the immediate possession of the Property, with the right to manage the same as a mortgagee in possession, to operate any business thereon at the expense of and for the account of Trustor, and to collect and apply the Rents as described in Section  7 hereof.  Trustor and all persons claiming under Trustor shall, upon demand, immediately deliver possession of the Property to Beneficiary or its assigns.  Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor for any obligation or charge in dealing with the Property as a mortgagee in possession (other than for loss determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have been caused by Beneficiary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of Beneficiary’s employees, agents and representatives).  Nothing in this Section 18 shall impose upon Beneficiary: (a) any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or for complying with or enforcing any of the terms and conditions of any lease agreement; or (b) any responsibility or liability for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or by any other persons, for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss, injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or other person.

 

19.          Appointment of a Receiver Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, a receiver may be appointed, with or without notice (except for such notice as is required by Governmental Requirements or applicable court), whereupon the receiver shall immediately be entitled to possession of all of the Property.  Beneficiary’s right to a receiver shall be absolute and unconditional.  The receiver may be appointed without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Deed of Trust Obligations and Trustor shall immediately surrender possession of the Property to the receiver upon his appointment.  The receiver shall have the right to take possession of the Property, to collect the Rents therefrom, to complete the construction of any structures or improvements in progress thereon, to rent the Property or any part thereof, to operate any business thereon, and to exercise such other rights as may be granted by the court pending such proceedings, and up to the time of redemption or issuance of a trustee’s or sheriff’s deed.  Rents shall be applied to the costs and expenses of the receiver and the receivership, including costs of construction, and the balance shall be applied in the manner described in Section  7 hereof.  The receiver shall have the power to borrow money from any person, including Beneficiary, for expenses of operating, preserving, maintaining and caring for the Property, and completing the construction in progress of any improvements or structures upon the Property, and all such borrowed sums, together with interest thereon, whether expended or not, shall be added to the Deed of Trust Obligations.  The receiver may expend such borrowed money for the purposes described in this Section 19 during any redemption period and, upon any redemption, any unexpended amounts of such borrowed money shall be credited on the redemption

 

16



 

price of the Property.  In addition, any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred, or advances made, by Beneficiary in connection with the implementation or operation of the receivership, shall be added to the Deed of Trust Obligations, bear interest at the Default Rate and be secured by this Deed of Trust.

 

20.          Substitute Performance; Additional Remedies of Beneficiary; No Waiver .   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary, without obligation to do so and without releasing Trustor from any portion of the Deed of Trust Obligations, may pay or perform the Deed of Trust Obligations in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary, in its sole good faith discretion, may deem necessary to protect the security hereof.  Beneficiary shall be authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes.  All expenses or charges that Beneficiary may incur in connection with the care or preservation of the Property or any part thereof at any time, or the payment of any taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or encumbrances levied upon or attaching to the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein, or any cost of redemption thereon, or any sums of money, charges, expenses or fees which Beneficiary may pay pursuant to any provision hereof or of the Loan Agreement, shall be added to the Deed of Trust Obligations, shall be payable by Trustor on demand, and shall bear interest at the then effective default rate from the date of advance until paid.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have all other remedies allowed or provided for under or described in the Loan Agreement, the Notes and all other writings executed or delivered in connection with the Deed of Trust Obligations, or available under applicable Governmental Requirements.  Any one or more rights and remedies available to Beneficiary may, at its option, be sought and exercised concurrently or consecutively, and in inconsistent proceedings, whether legal or equitable.  Beneficiary’s failure to exercise any of its rights upon an Event of Default shall not prejudice its rights in the event of any other or subsequent Event of Default.  Beneficiary’s delay in exercising any rights shall not preclude it from exercising the same at any time during the continuance of such Event of Default.  By accepting any performance or payment of any portion of the Deed of Trust Obligations after its due date, Beneficiary shall not waive the agreement contained herein that time is of the essence hereof, nor shall Beneficiary waive its rights to require prompt performance or payment when due of the remainder of the Deed of Trust Obligations or to consider failure to so perform or pay an Event of Default hereunder.

 

21.          Sale by Trustee Pursuant to Power of Sale; Judicial Foreclosure After the lapse of such time as may then be required by Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-24 or other applicable Governmental Requirements following the recordation of the notice of default, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-25 and § 57-1-26 or other applicable Governmental Requirements, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of sale, in such order as Beneficiary may determine (but subject to Trustor’s statutory right under Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-27 to direct the order in which the property, if consisting of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold), at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale or on such other terms as are set forth in the notice of sale.  The person conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided, if the sale is postponed for longer than forty-five (45) days beyond the date designated in the notice of sale, notice of the time, date, and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale as required by Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-27.  Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s Deed, in accordance with Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-28, conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant of warranty, express or implied.  The recitals in the trustee’s deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale.  Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale as follows:

 

17



 

First: To the reasonable costs and expenses of exercising the power of sale and of the sale, including the payment of Trustee’s and attorneys’ reasonable fees actually incurred not to exceed the amount which may be provided for in this Deed of Trust.

 

Second: To payment of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust in the order provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

Third: The balance, if any, to the person or person’s legally entitled to the proceeds, or Trustee, in the Trustee’s discretion, may deposit the balance of the proceeds with the clerk of the district court of the county in which the sale took place, in accordance with Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-29.

 

Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 21, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, the Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Property, whether by payment of cash or by credit bid in accordance with Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-28(1)(b).  In the event of a successful credit bid, Beneficiary shall make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Deed of Trust Obligations of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust such credit bid amount.  Beneficiary, upon so acquiring the Property or any part thereof, shall be entitled to hold, lease, rent, operate, manage, and sell the same in any manner provided by applicable Governmental Requirements.

 

In the event of any amendment to the provisions of Utah Code Annotated Title 57 referenced in this Deed of Trust, this Deed of Trust shall, at the sole election of Beneficiary, be deemed amended to be consistent with such amendments or Beneficiary may elect not to give effect to such deemed amendments hereto if permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements.

 

22.          Deficiency .   Trustor agrees to pay any deficiency to which Beneficiary may be entitled after applications of the proceeds of any sale and for which any beneficiary may commence suit to collect such deficiency in accordance with Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-32 or other applicable Governmental Requirements.

 

23.          Reinstatement If Trustor, Trustor’s successor in interest or any other person having a subordinate lien or encumbrance of record on the Property, reinstates this Deed of Trust and the Loan within three (3) months of the recordation of a notice of default in accordance with Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-31(1), such party shall pay to Beneficiary the reasonable cancellation fee contemplated by Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-31(2), as determined by Beneficiary, in accordance with its then current policies and procedures, whereupon Trustee shall record a notice of cancellation of the pending sale.

 

24.          Marshalling of Assets Trustor, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby expressly waives all rights to require a marshalling of assets by Trustee or Beneficiary.

 

25.          No Merger In the event of a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or any other mortgage or deed of trust securing the Deed of Trust Obligations, the Deed of Trust Obligations then due Beneficiary shall not be merged into any decree of foreclosure entered by the court, and Beneficiary may concurrently or subsequently seek to foreclose one or more mortgages or deeds of trust which also secure said Deed of Trust Obligations.

 

26.          Request for Notice Beneficiary hereby requests, pursuant to Utah Code Annotated § 57-1-26(3), a copy of any notice of default and that any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at the address set forth on the first page of this Deed of Trust.

 

18



 

27.          Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses; Failure of Trustor to Vacate If any sale, proceeding, lawsuit or arbitration is commenced, or any attorney is retained to collect any amounts secured hereby or to enforce any rights granted Beneficiary hereunder (regardless of whether an action is actually commenced), Trustor shall pay Beneficiary’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs incurred in enforcing its rights under the Loan Documents, and Trustee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, Trustee’s reasonable fees and its reasonable costs and reasonable expenses in connection with any sale proceedings or lawsuit.  In addition, Trustor shall pay a reasonable fee for title searches, foreclosure reports, trustee’s sale guaranties, litigation guaranties, publication costs, environmental assessments or appraisal reports made or obtained either (i) in preparation for and in the conduct of any such proceedings or suit, or (ii) to evidence to potential bidders at any judicial or nonjudicial sale pursuant to this Deed of Trust the true condition of title to or the value of the Property or any portion thereof.  All of the foregoing fees and expenses shall be payable on demand, added to the Deed of Trust Obligations and secured by this Deed of Trust, shall be included in any judgment or arbitration award obtained by Beneficiary and shall be paid to Beneficiary as part of any reinstatement tendered hereunder.  If Trustor fails to vacate the Real Property following foreclosure or sale, Trustor shall be a tenant at sufferance and subject to an action for forcible entry and detainer, wherein Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect from Trustor, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, a reasonable rental for the Property during the period of such holding over at sufferance.  The foregoing amounts shall also be guaranteed by any guarantee(s) now or hereafter relating to the Deed of Trust Obligations.

 

28.          Reserved.

 

29.          Effect of Foreclosure on Existing Leases Upon any sale of the Property under this Deed of Trust, any Lease that is subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust shall be terminated by virtue of the sale under the prior lien and charge of this Deed of Trust, unless otherwise provided by Beneficiary in writing.

 

30.          Reconveyance of Property Upon (a) written request of Beneficiary stating that the entire Deed of Trust Obligations have been paid, (b) surrender of this Deed of Trust and the Notes to Trustee for cancellation and retention, and (c) payment of Trustee’s reasonable fees, if any, Trustee shall reconvey the Property without warranty.  The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”

 

31.          Partial Reconveyance by Trustee; Dedication of Easements .

 

(a)           At any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Notes, without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment or performance of any portion of the Deed of Trust Obligations or the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust, Trustee may reconvey any part of the Property, consent to any rezoning or the making of any map or plat thereof, join in granting any easement or dedication thereon or in creating any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the use or occupancy of the Property, or join in any extension agreement or agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

 

(b)           So long as no Event of Default then exists, and Trustor obtains any required written joinders or consents from any other parties who have interests in any relevant portions of the Real Property, Beneficiary shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to, approval of or joinder (on a quitclaim basis only, without creating potential liability for Beneficiary) in any customary and standard roadway or utility easements or similar dedications that are reasonably necessary to complete the improvements, or to otherwise properly develop the Real Property, or

 

19



 

to satisfy any customary and standard Governmental Requirements.  To the extent any such easements or dedications are granted or made without receipt by Trustor of consideration therefor, Beneficiary shall provide appropriate partial releases from the lien of this Deed of Trust without charge to Trustor except for the reimbursement of any Beneficiary costs and expenses in connection therewith.

 

32.          Acceptance of Trust; Trustee Resignation; Notification of Sale Trustee accepts the trust created hereby, which shall be irrevocable by Trustor, when this Deed of Trust, executed and acknowledged, is recorded as provided by Governmental Requirements.  Trustee may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to Beneficiary as provided by Governmental Requirements.  Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party, unless brought by Trustee.

 

33.          Successor Trustee Beneficiary may, from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, in the manner provided by law.  Such writing, upon recordation, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all its title.

 

34.          Additional Security The taking or acceptance of this Deed of Trust by Beneficiary shall in no event be considered to constitute a waiver of, or in any way affect or impair, any other security that Beneficiary may have, acquire simultaneously herewith, or hereafter acquire for the Deed of Trust Obligations, nor shall the taking at any time by Beneficiary of any such additional security be construed to constitute a waiver of, or in any way affect or impair, the security of this Deed of Trust.  Beneficiary may resort to its several securities for the payment of the Deed of Trust Obligations in such order and manner as it may deem appropriate.

 

35.          Construction of Agreement; Definitions This Deed of Trust shall apply to the parties according to the context hereof, without regard to the number or gender of words or expressions used herein.  The captions of paragraphs in this Deed of Trust are for convenience and reference only, and in no way define or limit the scope or intent of this Deed of Trust or the provisions of such paragraphs.  This Deed of Trust shall be construed as a whole, in accordance with the fair meaning of its language, and, as each party has been represented by legal counsel of its choice or deliberately chosen not to be so represented, in the negotiation of this Deed of Trust, neither this Deed of Trust nor any provision thereof shall be construed for or against either party by reason of the identity of the party drafting the same.  As used in this Deed of Trust, the term(s): (a) “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration; (b) “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereinafter” or similar terms refer to this Deed of Trust as a whole rather than to any particular paragraph; (c) “person” includes a corporation, trust, partnership, limited liability company, association, governmental authority or other entity, as well as a natural person; and (d) “Trustor” shall include all persons or entities named in this Deed of Trust as Trustors, severally and collectively, and any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Property, and their liability under this Deed of Trust shall be joint and several (however, the foregoing shall in no way constitute or imply Beneficiary’s consent to any transfer of the ownership of the Property or any portion thereof).

 

36.          Time of the Essence; Successors and Assigns Time is of the essence hereof.  Without limitation of the restrictions on transfer described in Section 13 above, this Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, personal representatives, legatees, devisees, successors and assigns.

 

20



 

37.          Governing Law This Deed of Trust is delivered in, relates to real property located in, and shall be governed by and construed according to the substantive laws and judicial decisions of the State of Utah (regardless of Utah conflict of laws principles or the location, residence, domicile or place of business of Trustor or any constituent principal thereof) and applicable federal laws, rules and regulations.

 

38.          Notices Except as provided in Section 21 hereof with respect to Trustee’s exercise of the power of sale contained herein or as otherwise required by Governmental Requirements, all notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given as provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

39.          Amendment This Deed of Trust may not be amended or changed except by a written agreement signed by Trustor and Beneficiary, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.9 of the Loan Agreement.

 

40.          Severability; Enforceability .

 

(a)           Each covenant, provision and condition of this Deed of Trust shall be interpreted so as to be valid and effective under applicable Governmental Requirements.  If any such covenant, provision or condition is held to be void or invalid, the same shall not affect the remainder hereof, which shall be valid and effective as though the void or invalid covenant, provision or condition had not been contained herein.

 

(b)           Should this Deed of Trust be or ever become ineffective as a deed of trust, then it shall be construed and enforceable as a mortgage (with Trustor as the mortgagor and Beneficiary as the mortgagee).

 

(c)           If the lien of this Deed of Trust is invalid or unenforceable (either as a deed of trust or as a mortgage) as to any part of the Deed of Trust Obligations, or if the lien is invalid or unenforceable as to any portion of the Property, the unsecured or partially secured portion of the Deed of Trust Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining secured or partially secured portion of the Deed of Trust Obligations.  All payments made on the Deed of Trust Obligations, whether voluntary or pursuant to foreclosure or some other enforcement action or procedure taken hereunder, shall be considered to have been first applied to the full payment of that portion of the Deed of Trust Obligations which is not secured or fully secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.

 

41.          Subrogation Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the rights and lien, whether or not released of record, of the owner or holder of each and every encumbrance or lien paid from the proceeds of the loan or advances secured hereby, and such loan or advances have been or will be advanced, if at all, at Trustor’s request.

 

42.          Incorporation of Exhibits Any exhibit attached hereto is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and references in this Deed of Trust to such exhibits shall be deemed to include this reference and incorporation.

 

43.          Declarations and Associations The assignment herein by Trustor to Beneficiary of the rights of Trustor with respect to any declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, any design review or architectural control committee and any owners’ or similar association, together with any voting rights therein, shall be for the purpose of security only and shall not impose any duty or obligation on Beneficiary with respect to any such matters unless expressly assumed by Beneficiary in a writing

 

21



 

which is recorded.  Trustor shall not give any consent, approval or permission under the terms of any declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

 

44.          No Offset All sums comprising the Deed of Trust Obligations payable by Trustor shall be paid without notice, demand, offset, deduction, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, diminution or reduction.  Trustor’s obligation to do so shall not be released, discharged or otherwise diminished by reason of: (a) any damage to or destruction of, or any condemnation or similar taking of, the Property or any portion thereof; (b) any restriction or prevention of, or interference with, the use of the Property or any portion thereof; (c) any title defect or encumbrance, or any eviction from the Property or any portion thereof by the holder of superior title or otherwise; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding relating to Trustor, Beneficiary or any Bank, or any action taken with respect to this Deed of Trust by any trustee or receiver of Trustor, Beneficiary or any Bank, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (e) any claim that Trustor may now or in the future have against Beneficiary or any Bank; (f) any default or failure on the part of Beneficiary or any Bank to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other loan document with Trustor; or (g) any other similar or dissimilar occurrence.  Beneficiary’s or any Bank’s acceptance of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due and owing under the Loan Documents shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and shall not in any way constitute an accord and satisfaction or a waiver, or impair Beneficiary’s or any Bank’s ability to treat a Default or an Event of Default as continuing to exist.

 

45.          No Merger If the interests of Beneficiary and Trustor under this Deed of Trust shall at any time become vested in Beneficiary, by reason of foreclosure or otherwise, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Beneficiary shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Beneficiary as to the separate estates, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Beneficiary.

 

46.          Multiple Advances The proceeds of the obligation secured by this Deed of Trust may be advanced in multiple installments at different times subsequent to the recordation of this Deed of Trust.  Each advance made subsequent to the initial advance shall be deemed to be “obligatory” in nature (subject to conditions precedent for advances) and shall be secured in the same lien priority position as the initial advance.  If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction should determine the foregoing sentence to be unenforceable, then all amounts advanced by Beneficiary or any Bank as of the time that a third party acquires or provides notice of (whichever action such court may require) an interest in the property encumbered by this Deed of Trust shall continue to be secured in a first priority lien position (subject only to the existing lien of Beneficiary), and amounts advanced by Beneficiary or any Bank after the acquisition or giving notice of (as applicable) the intervening interest (except for amounts determined by the court to be senior to the intervening interest, even though advanced by Beneficiary or any Bank after the recordation or giving notice of the intervening interest) shall be secured in a position junior to the intervening interest.  The foregoing sentence shall not be construed to permit any person or entity to acquire an intervening interest without Beneficiary’s or Banks’ consent, to acknowledge that any or all of the secured obligation will be subordinate to intervening interests, or to excuse any party that may obtain an intervening interest from complying with the requirements of applicable Governmental Requirements for giving actual notice to Beneficiary or any Bank or for taking other necessary measures to establish its lien priority over subsequently advanced amounts, and the holder of any intervening interest will be charged with notice of the provisions of this paragraph to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Rather, the intent of this paragraph is to ensure that in no circumstance will the provisions of this Deed of Trust securing other and subsequent advances in the same lien priority as the initial advance hereunder impair or adversely affect the priority that Beneficiary would have had absent those provisions.

(a)   Each of the Assigned Contracts constitutes a valid transaction, negotiated in good faith and at arms-length.

6.             Covenants of Borrower .  Borrower covenants and agrees with Administrative Bank as follows:

(c)   Borrower shall not take any action, consent or acquiesce to any action, or refrain from taking any commercially reasonable action, without Administrative Bank’s prior consent, which would result in the termination of any of the Assigned Contracts.

 

(d)   Borrower shall provide Administrative Bank copies (or if requested by Administrative Bank, the originals) of the Assigned Contracts and such information as Administrative Bank may reasonably request concerning the status of the Assigned Contracts.  Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Bank of any default under any of the Assigned Contracts, and shall promptly provide Administrative Bank with copies of any notices of default, correspondence alleging any default, and all communications respecting any default or alleged default.

 

(e)   Borrower shall not intentionally waive, release, or discharge any Contracting Party from any material covenants, conditions, obligations, or agreements under an Assigned Contract to be performed or observed by such Contracting Party without Administrative Bank’s prior consent.  Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, enforce and secure the performance of all such covenants, conditions, obligations, and agreements to be performed by any Contracting Party to the Assigned Contracts.

 

7.             Right to Cure .  In the event that Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant or condition contained in any Assigned Contract, Administrative Bank, at Administrative Bank’s option, may take such action as deemed necessary by Administrative Bank to cure such default.  All costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and costs, incurred by Administrative Bank in curing such default shall be paid by Borrower in accordance with the Loan Documents.

 

8.             Attorney-in-Fact .  Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Bank as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to demand, receive and enforce all of Borrower’s rights with respect to the Assigned Contracts, to make payments under the Assigned Contracts and to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and in behalf of and in Borrower’s name or, at the option of Administrative Bank, in the name of Administrative Bank, all with the same force and effect as Borrower could do if this Assignment had not been made.

 

9.             Rights Upon Default .  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Administrative Bank, in addition to such other remedies that Administrative Bank may have under any Loan Document, or as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, shall become immediately entitled, but shall not be obligated, to exercise all the rights of Borrower under the Assigned Contracts in Administrative Bank’s own name, in the name of Borrower as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, or in any other manner permitted by law.  Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Bank may, in Administrative Bank’s sole discretion, take over and complete the construction of any Improvements in accordance with the rights to do so under the Loan Documents, use any plans and specifications, enforce Borrower’s rights under the Assigned Contracts, and receive performance by any Contracting Party.  Borrower hereby authorizes any Contracting Party to accept the assignment made herein and authorizes and directs each such Contracting Party, upon a default by Borrower and upon election by Administrative Bank, in Administrative Bank’s sole discretion, to make and render all acts and performances required by such Contracting Party under the terms and conditions of any Assigned Contract directly to Administrative Bank or Administrative Bank’s nominee, as Administrative Bank may direct, and Borrower hereby releases any such Contracting Party from any

liability or claim by reason of such Contracting Party making or rendering performance under any Assigned Contract to Administrative Bank.  Administrative Bank may amend, modify, extend, release, discharge, settle, compromise, and otherwise deal with the Assigned Contracts and all Contracting Parties and any rights and claims under the Assigned Contracts in such manner as Administrative Bank deems necessary or prudent.  Administrative Bank shall have no liability to Borrower for any action taken by Administrative Bank to enforce any of the Assigned Contracts or to assert the rights of Borrower thereunder, or for delaying or failing to do any of the foregoing or pursing any right or remedy available to Administrative Bank.  No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.  The rights, powers, and remedies of Administrative Bank under this Assignment are cumulative and may be exercised by Administrative Bank either independently of, or concurrently with, any other right, power, or remedy contained herein, in any of the Loan Documents, at law, or in equity.

CONTRACTOR’S CERTIFICATE

 

The undersigned (the “ Contractor ”) hereby consents to the assignment by O.com Land, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), to U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Bank for the Banks (“ Administrative Bank ”) of the construction contract dated October 13, 2014 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “ Construction Contract ”) for the construction of improvements on the Property described in the Assignment of Contracts, Plans and Specifications set forth above (the “ Assignment ”), and in consideration of the Banks’ making the Loan to Borrower, Contractor hereby covenants and agrees with Borrower and Administrative Bank as follows.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Assignment:

 

1.             To the extent that Contractor has been paid for the same, all of the subcontractors and materialmen’s undisputed costs and expenses for the construction of the Improvements shall be paid for by Contractor when the same become due and payable, and upon the request of Borrower, Contractor will furnish to Borrower satisfactory evidence to verify such payments.

 

2.             Contractor recognizes that Banks may be prevented from disbursing funds under the Loan Agreement in due course if Contractor claims a default under the Construction Contract.  Accordingly, Contractor covenants and agrees that it will not claim any default under the Construction Contract without prior written notice to Administrative Bank and without giving Administrative Bank a reasonable opportunity to remedy the default.

 

3.             Since Contractor also recognizes that it is essential to Administrative Bank’s rights under the Loan Agreement that the construction of the Improvements specified by the Construction Contract be completed as expeditiously as possible, Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with Borrower, all in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract, so as to permit Borrower to comply promptly with its obligations under the Loan Agreement.

 

4.             Contractor will not permit the performance of any work pursuant to any change order which will result in an increase of the contract price for the construction of the Improvements in excess of $750,000 nor pursuant to any change order which, together with the aggregate of change orders theretofore executed by Borrower, will result in an increase or decrease in such prices in excess of an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 (computed prior to giving effect to such change order) unless, in either case, it shall have received the written approval of Administrative Bank to such change order.  All such computations shall be made without giving effect to any cost savings.

 

5.             Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or under any document provided for therein or contemplated thereby, Contractor will, at Administrative Bank’s request (which request shall not be unreasonably delayed), continue performance on behalf of Administrative Bank under the Construction Contract in accordance with the provisions thereof, provided that Contractor shall be reimbursed and compensated in accordance with the Construction Contract.

 

6.             Contractor hereby consents to the assignment of the Construction Contract by Borrower to Administrative Bank as security for the above-referenced construction loan as more particularly set forth above in the Assignment, on the condition that Administrative Bank shall exercise the rights of Borrower thereunder subject to Contractor’s right to be paid the contract price for any work performed.  Contractor represents to Administrative Bank that as of the date hereof, the Construction Contract is in full force and effect and that no event has occurred which itself constitutes, or with the lapse of time would constitute, a default under the Construction Contract.

7.             Contractor hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Construction Contract, the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

 

8.             Contractor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Bank that it is duly licensed to conduct business in the jurisdiction where such construction work is to be performed.

ARCHITECT’S CERTIFICATE

 

The undersigned (the “ Architect ”) hereby consents to the assignment by O.com Land, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), to U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Bank for the Banks (“ Administrative Bank ”) of the architect contract dated May 7, 2014 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “ Architect Contract ”) for the construction of improvements on the Property described in the Assignment of Contracts, Plans and Specifications set forth above (the “ Assignment ”), and in consideration of the Banks’ making the Loan to Borrower, Contractor hereby covenants and agrees with Borrower and Administrative Bank as follows.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Assignment:

 

1.             Upon the occurrence of (i) any default under the Loan Agreement, (ii) delivery by Administrative Bank to Architect of a written notice stating that Administrative Bank has elected to replace Borrower as the owner or similar party under the Architect Contract, and (iii) payment to Architect by Administrative Bank and/or Borrower of all sums due and owing to Architect by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Architect Contract, then Architect shall, at Administrative Bank’s request, continue performance on Administrative Bank’s behalf under the Architect Contract in accordance with its terms.  Administrative Bank will thereupon have all rights and interests of the owner or similar party under the Architect Contract in the use of the plans and specifications, including all architectural working drawings, for the construction of the Improvements (the “ Plans ”) prepared by Architect.

 

2.             Architect, as an expression of professional opinion based upon Architect’s best knowledge, information and belief, but without guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied, states to Administrative Bank as follows:

 

a.             The Plans are in substantial conformance with building codes, applicable as of the date of the issuance of the building permits with respect thereto, as such building codes have been interpreted during the “plan check” process;

 

b.             The Plans are consistent with the selected geotechnical design options and the recommendations with respect thereto set forth in the written report prepared by the soils engineer relative to the Property and delivered to Architect; and

 

c.             The Plans are sufficiently complete to allow construction of the Improvements when considered in conjunction with the shop drawings and other submittals required by, and the requests for information, interpretations, change orders and construction change directives contemplated in, the contract documents between Borrower and any contractor, subcontractor or supplier with whom Borrower has entered into or shall hereafter enter into any contracts relating to the construction of the Improvements.

 

3.             Architect agrees to certify to Administrative Bank from time to time during the construction of the Improvements concerning the status of the construction of the Improvements and other matters requested by Administrative Bank.

 

4.             Architect represents and warrants that it has been retained by Borrower and has agreed to act as the independent architect to inspect and perform construction administration during the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Architect Contract.  In order to induce Administrative Bank to make the Loan and to rely upon such inspection and construction administration to be performed by Architect, Architect agrees that it will act to protect the interest of Administrative

Bank in making such inspections and certifications required to be delivered to Administrative Bank in connection with Borrower’s requests for advances under the Loan Agreement and will continue to act as the architect performing inspection and construction administration notwithstanding any default by Borrower in payment of any fees due Architect; provided that it will be paid and will receive such other performance that Architect may be entitled to in accordance with the Architect Contract.  Architect agrees that its certifications will reflect that it has made such on-site inspections and other review of the construction and the contracts for such construction, the records of Borrower and/or the contractors, and such other matters as it deems necessary in order to make an independent certification as to all the matters which the Loan Agreement requires as a condition of advances on the Loan provided for therein.

 

5.             Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute Architect as the agent of Administrative Bank and no relationship of principal and agent or employment between Architect and Administrative Bank is intended, it being expressly understood that Architect is acting as an independent contractor to inspect and perform construction administration during the progress of the construction but without any power or authority to approve any change in the Plans or to authorize any deviation therefrom during the course of the construction which would change the costs of construction of the Improvements by more than $750,000 for any single item or $1,500,000 in the aggregate for all items, unless such change or deviation has been approved in writing by Administrative Bank.

 

6.             Recognizing that the Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ ADA ”) is federal civil rights legislation and that the requirements of the ADA will be subject to various and possibly contradictory interpretations by courts and governmental authorities, Architect cannot and does not warrant or guaranty that the Plans will comply with interpretations of the ADA requirements.  Architect states to Administrative Bank only that in preparing the Plans, the Architect has exercised the professional care, skill and judgment ordinarily exercised by licensed architects under like circumstances to interpret and comply with the accessibility requirements of the ADA, and relevant regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board and the U.S. Department of Justice, applicable to the construction of new structures as of the date of issuance of the building permit for such improvements.

 

7.             All capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Architect’s Certificate shall have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement.

REPAYMENT AND COMPLETION GUARANTY

 

THIS REPAYMENT AND COMPLETION GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “ Guaranty ”) is made and entered into as of October 24, 2014, by OVERSTOCK.COM, INC. , a Delaware corporation (referred to herein as “ Guarantor ), whose address is set forth on the signature page, in favor of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION , a national banking association ( U.S. Bank ), whose address is 170 South Main Street, 6 th  Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, as Administrative Bank and in its capacity as a Bank, and in favor of the other Banks from time to time party to the Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among O.com Land, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), Guarantor, Administrative Bank, and the Banks from time party thereto (the “ Loan Agreement ”).  Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

A.                                     Borrower and Guarantor have requested that the Banks provide the Real Estate Loan to Borrower for the purpose of financing certain costs related to the development and construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Budget, with such Real Estate Loan to be converted to a term obligation upon Conversion, all in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

B.                                     Borrower’s obligation to repay the Real Estate Loan is further evidenced by the Construction Notes dated as of even date herewith, executed by Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of Forty-Five Million Seven Hundred Sixty Thousand and No/100 ($45,760,000.00).  Upon Conversion to the Term Loan Phase, the Term Notes shall replace by substitution the Construction Notes (the Construction Notes and the Term Notes shall be referred to collectively as the “ Notes ”).

 

C.                                     Provision of this Guaranty by Guarantor is a condition precedent of the Banks to enter into the Loan Agreement and make the Real Estate Loan.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Banks as follows:

 

1.                                       Guaranty.   (a) Guarantor hereby guarantees the due and punctual payment and performance by Borrower of all of Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (the “Obligations” ) (the “ Repayment Guaranty ”); and (b) subject to Section 3(c), Guarantor hereby guarantees the performance by Borrower of all the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement pertaining to Borrower’s obligations with respect to the construction of the Project (as further hereinafter described, the “ Completion Guaranty ”).  The term “Guaranty” as used hereinafter shall be a reference to both the Repayment Guaranty and the Completion Guaranty.

 

The liability of Guarantor under the Repayment Guaranty and the Completion Guaranty shall be a continuing liability and shall not be affected by (nor shall anything herein contained be deemed a limitation upon) the amount of credit which may be extended to Borrower or the number of transactions with Borrower, it being the understanding of Guarantor that Guarantor’s liability shall continue hereunder so long as there are any Obligations of Borrower outstanding.

 

2.                                       Completion .  For purpose of the Completion Guaranty, completion of the Project free and clear of liens shall be deemed to have occurred upon Completion.

 



 

3.                                       Obligations of Guarantor Upon Default by Borrower .

 

a.               With respect to the Payment Guaranty, upon an Event of Default (which would include the passage of any applicable notice or grace period), an independent action may be taken to collect from the Guarantor the outstanding Obligations whether or not any action has been taken against Borrower or any of the Collateral.

 

b.               With respect to the Completion Guaranty, the Guarantor shall guarantee the obligations of Borrower under Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement, and, if applicable, the obligations of Borrower under Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement.  Without in any way limiting the above obligations of Guarantor with respect to those provisions of the Loan Agreement, Banks may make, in their sole discretion, the undisbursed Loan funds available to Guarantor (pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents) for the purposes of completing the Project and fulfilling Guarantor’s completion obligations under this Guaranty.  The decision of Banks to make such undisbursed Loan funds available to Guarantor may be based upon, among other things: (x) there being no continuing Event of Default attributable to Guarantor; and (y) Borrower (and/or Guarantor) having provided to Banks all required equity funding  under the Loan Agreement.

 

c.                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor’s obligation under the Completion Guaranty shall be met at any time if Guarantor (a) pays off in full all outstanding principal, accrued interest, and other outstanding amounts under the Real Estate Loan, (b) pays off all outstanding principal, accrued interest, and other outstanding amounts under the Aggregate Revolving Commitment including the posting of cash collateral for any outstanding Facility LCs in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, and (c) delivers to the Administrative Bank a written acknowledgment from Guarantor and Borrower indicating that the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and the Real Estate Commitment are terminated and the Banks have no further obligation with respect thereto.

 

4.                                       Banks’ Actions .  Guarantor agrees that Banks may from time to time without notice to or consent of Guarantor upon such terms and conditions as Administrative Bank may deem advisable (subject to the terms of the Loan Documents) and without affecting this Guaranty:  (a) approve modifications to the Plans; (b) release any maker, surety or other person liable for payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations of Borrower; (c) make any agreement extending or otherwise altering the time for or the terms of payment or performance of all or any part of the sums due under the Loan Documents or the Obligations of Borrower; (d) modify, waive, compromise, release, subordinate, resort to, exercise or refrain from exercising any right Administrative Bank or Banks may have hereunder, or under the Loan Documents; (e) accept additional security or guarantees of any kind; (f) endorse, transfer or assign the Notes and the other Loan Documents to any other party in accordance with the Loan Documents; (g) accept from Borrower, or any other party, performance of or partial payment or payments on account of the Obligations of Borrower and apply such payments in the order as Banks shall determine in their sole discretion (subject to the terms of the Loan Documents); (h) from time to time hereafter further loan monies or give or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower; (i) release, settle or compromise any claim of Administrative Bank or Banks against Borrower, or against any other person, firm or corporation, including Guarantor, whose obligation is held by Administrative Bank or Banks as collateral security for repayment of amounts due under the Loan Documents or for the Obligations of Borrower; (j) change the terms or conditions of disbursement of the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; or (k) declare all sums owing to Banks under the Notes and the other Loan Documents due and payable upon an Event of Default, or apply any security and direct the

5.                                       Waivers .  Guarantor hereby unconditionally and absolutely waives with respect to the Obligations: (a) any obligation on the part of Administrative Bank or Banks to protect, secure or insure any of the collateral given for the payment of the sums due under the Loan Documents or for payment or performance of the Obligations; (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations of Borrower; (c) any right to object to the release of any of the security given for the payment of amounts due under the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; (d) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Banks; (e) notice of presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, protest, notices of protest and notices of dishonor, notice of non-payment or partial payment; (f) notice of any defaults under the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or in the performance of any of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained therein or in any other Loan Document given as security for Borrower’s Obligations; (g) any limitation or exculpation of liability on the part of Borrower whether contained in the Loan Documents or otherwise other than as a result of payment of the Obligations; (h) any right to object to the transfer or sale by Borrower of any security given for the Obligations of Borrower or the diminution in value thereof; (i) any right to object to any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Administrative Bank or Banks to realize on or protect any security given for the Obligations of Borrower; (j) any right to insist that Banks prosecute collection of the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or to resort to any instrument or security given to secure the Obligations of Borrower or to proceed against Borrower or against any other guarantor or surety prior to enforcing this Guaranty; provided, however, at their sole discretion, Administrative Bank or Banks may either in a separate action or an action pursuant to this Guaranty pursue their remedies against Borrower or any other guarantor or surety, without affecting their rights under this Guaranty; (k) notice to Guarantor of the existence of or the extending to Borrower of the Obligations of Borrower; (1) any order, method or manner of application of any payments on the Obligations of Borrower that is made in accordance with the Loan Agreement; or (m) any right to insist that Banks disburse the full principal amount of the Notes to Borrower in a manner inconsistent with the term of the Loan Agreement.

 

6.                                       Continuing Liability .  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor will not assert against Banks any defense of waiver, release, discharge in bankruptcy, statute of limitations, res judicata, statute of frauds, anti-deficiency statute, fraud, ultra vires acts, usury, illegality or unenforceability which may be available to Borrower in respect of the Loan Documents (other than actual payment of all or part of the Obligations), or any setoff available against Banks to Borrower whether or not on account of a related transaction, and Guarantor expressly agrees that Guarantor shall be and remain liable for the Obligations of Borrower to the extent that it constitutes a deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest securing the Obligations, notwithstanding any provisions of law that may prevent Banks from enforcing such deficiency against Borrower. The liability of Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar event or proceeding affecting Borrower or any of its assets. Guarantor further agrees that no act or thing, except for payment and performance in full of the Obligations, which but for this provision might or could in law or in equity act as a release of the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall in any way affect or impair this Guaranty, and Guarantor agrees that this shall be a continuing, absolute and unconditional Guaranty and shall be in full force and effect until the date on which all sums due under the Loan Documents as well as all sums due and all terms, provisions, and covenants of all Obligations of Borrower have been paid and/or performed in full.

 

7.                                       Subordination .  Guarantor agrees that all indebtedness, liability or liabilities now or at any time or times hereafter owing by Borrower to Guarantor are hereby subordinated to the Obligations of

Guarantor agrees that the payment of any amount or amounts by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall not in any way entitle Guarantor whether at law, in equity or otherwise to any right to participate in any security held by Banks for the payment of the Obligations of Borrower, any right to direct the application or disposition of any such security or any right to direct the enforcement of any such security. Performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not entitle Guarantor to be subrogated to any of the Obligations of Borrower or to any security therefor, unless and until the full amount of the Obligations of Borrower has been fully and finally paid.

10.                                Disbursement .  Guarantor agrees this Guaranty is executed in order to induce Banks to make the Real Estate Loan and approve the disbursing of the Real Estate Loan and with the intent that it be relied upon by Banks in making and disbursing the Real Estate Loan.  Disbursement of any part of the Real Estate Loan without any further action or notice, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the reliance hereon by Banks.  Guarantor acknowledges that Banks would not make the Real Estate Loan without this Guaranty.

 

11.                                Assignment .  This Guaranty shall run with the Loan Documents and without the need for any further assignment of this Guaranty to any subsequent holder of such documents or the need for any notice to Guarantor thereof. Upon endorsement or assignment of the Notes and the Loan Documents to any subsequent holder in accordance with the Loan Documents, said subsequent holder may enforce this Guaranty as if said holder had been originally named as a Bank hereunder.  Guarantor agrees that any Bank may elect, at any time and in accordance with the Loan Documents, to sell, assign, or grant participations in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and this Guaranty, and that any such sale, assignment or participation may be to one or more financial institutions, private investors, and/or other entities as provided in the Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale, assignment or participation, Bank and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Banks as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. Anything in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Guaranty, including this Section, Banks may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of their rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Banks from their obligations thereunder.  Other than as set forth in this Section 11, neither Guarantor nor any Bank or the Administrative Bank may assign its rights or interests or delegate its obligations hereunder to any other person without the prior written consent of the Guarantor or the Administrative Bank, as the case may be.

13.                                Setoff .  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of Banks under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which Banks may have under applicable law.

 

14.                                Remedies Not Exclusive .  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Administrative Bank or Banks is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No waiver, amendment, release or modification of this Guaranty shall be established by conduct, custom or course of dealing, but only by an instrument in writing duly executed by Administrative Bank and Guarantor, with the consent of the Banks as required by Section 10.9 of the Loan Agreement.

 

15.                                Applicable Law .  This Guaranty is delivered in and made in and shall in all respects be construed pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah.

17.                                Notice .  Any notice which any party hereto may desire or may be required to give to any other party shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.

19.                                WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  BANKS BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AND GUARANTOR HEREBY VOLUNTARILY KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR CONCERNING THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER AND/OR ANY COLLATERAL CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING CONCERNS ANY CONTRACTUAL OR TORTIOUS OR OTHER CLAIM. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO BANKS IN EXTENDING CREDIT TO BORROWER, THAT BANKS WOULD NOT HAVE EXTENDED SUCH CREDIT WITHOUT THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND THAT GUARANTOR HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY OR HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND UNDERSTANDS THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER.

 

20.                                Bankruptcy of Borrower .  In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, Guarantor shall file all claims which Guarantor may have against Borrower relating to any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and shall assign to Administrative Bank all rights of Guarantor thereunder for the ratable benefit of the Banks.  If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Administrative Bank, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Administrative Bank’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Administrative Bank’s nominee.  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.  Administrative Bank or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do.  In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Administrative Bank for the ratable benefit of the Banks the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Administrative Bank all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions; provided, however, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that Administrative Bank receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution.  If Administrative Bank receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty.  If all or any portion of the Obligations are paid or performed, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Administrative Bank or Banks as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws, irrespective of any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery.

 

21.                                [Reserved] .

 

22.                                Additional, Independent and Unsecured Obligations .  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection and cannot be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation hereof.  All of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be in addition to and shall not limit or in any way affect the obligations of Guarantor under any other existing or future guaranties unless said other guaranties are expressly modified or revoked in writing.  This Guaranty is independent of the obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.  Administrative Bank may bring a separate action to enforce the provisions hereof against Guarantor without taking action against Borrower or any other party or joining Borrower or any other party as a party to such action.  Except as otherwise provided in this Guaranty, this Guaranty is not secured and shall not be deemed to be secured by any security instrument unless such security instrument expressly recites that it secures this Guaranty.

23.                                Attorneys’ Fees, Enforcement .  Guarantor shall pay fees, costs, and expenses related to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement.

(Multicurrency-Cross Border)

 

 

International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.

 

MASTER AGREEMENT

 

dated as of August 26, 2014

 

U.S. Bank National Association (“Party A”) and O.com Land, LLC (“Party B”) have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

 

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Interpretation

 

(a)                                  Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

 

(b)                                  Inconsistency.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

 

(c)                                   Single Agreement.   All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

 

2.                                       Obligations

 

(a)                                  General Conditions.

 

(i)  Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

 

(ii)  Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency.  Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

(iii)  Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b)                                  Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.

 

(c)                                   Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:

 

(i)   in the same currency; and

 

(ii)  in respect of the same Transaction,

 

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

 

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction.  The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date).  This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.

 

(d)                                  Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

 

(i)                                      Gross-Up.   All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect.  If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will:

 

(1)   promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;

 

(2)   pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;

 

(3)  promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

 

(4)   if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount which Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.  However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:-

 

2



 

(A)  the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

 

(B)  the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

 

(ii)                                   Liability .   If:

 

(1)   X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

 

(2)   X does not so deduct or withhold; and

 

(3)   a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,

 

then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

 

(e)                                   Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate.  Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.  If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

3.                                       Representations

 

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:

 

(a)                                  Basic Representations .

3



 

(iii)  No Violation or Conflict.   Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;

 

(iv)   Consents .   All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and

(b)                                  Absence of Certain Events No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.

(viii)                         Merger Without Assumption.   The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:

 

(1)   the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or

 

(2)   the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                  Termination Events . The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:

 

(i)   Illegality .   Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):

 

(1)   to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

 

(2)   to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

 

(ii)   Tax Event .  Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in

 

7



 

respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

 

(iii)   Tax Event Upon Merger.   The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii);

 

(iv)   Credit Event Upon Merger .   If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or

 

(v)  Additional Termination Event .   If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

 

(c)                                   Event of Default and Illegality If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.

 

6.                                       Early Termination

 

(a)                                  Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions.  If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

 

(b)                                  Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.

 

(i)   Notice.   If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected

 

8



 

Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.

 

(ii)   Transfer to Avoid Termination Event .   If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

 

If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

 

Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

 

(iii)   Two Affected Parties.   If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.

 

(iv)                               Right to Terminate. If:

 

(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

 

(2)   an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

 

either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

 

(c)                                   Effect of Designation .

 

(i)  If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.

 

(ii)   Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

 

9



 

(d)                                  Calculations.

 

(i)   Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid.  In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.

 

(ii)   Payment Date .   An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).  Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate.  Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(e)                                   Payments on Early Termination.   If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties’ election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market Quotation” or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the “Second Method”.  If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second Method”, as the case may be, shall apply.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.

 

(i)   Events of Default.   If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:

 

(1)   First Method and Market Quotation.   If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

 

(2)   First Method and Loss .   If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.

 

(3)   Second Method and Market Quotation.   If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.  If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

 

(4)   Second Method and Loss.  If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.  If that amount

 

10



 

is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

 

(ii)   Termination Events.   If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:

 

(1)   One Affected Party .   If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.

 

(2)      Two Affected Parties If there are two Affected Parties:-

 

(A)   if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amount, owing to Y; and

 

(B)   if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss (“Y”).

 

If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.

 

(iii)   Adjustment for Bankruptcy .   In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).

 

(iv)   Pre-Estimate .   The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.  Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.

 

7.      Transfer

 

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:

 

11



 

(a)                                  a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

 

(b)                                  a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

 

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

 

8.                                       Contractual Currency

 

(a)                                  Payment in the Contractual Currency . Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement.  If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall.  If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.

 

(b)                                  Judgments To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.  The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

 

(c)                                   Separate Indemnities.   To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                  Evidence of Loss.   For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

 

12



 

9.                                       Miscellaneous

 

(a)                                  Entire Agreement.   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

 

(b)                                  Amendments.  No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.

 

(c)                                   Survival of Obligations Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction.

 

(d)                                  Remedies Cumulative.   Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

 

(e)                                   Counterparts and Confirmations.

 

(i)   This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

 

(ii)   The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise).  A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement.  The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.

 

(f)                                    No Waiver of Rights A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(g)                                   Headings.   The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

 

10.                                Offices; Multibranch Parties

 

(a)                                  If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office.  This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

 

(b)                                  Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

(c)                                   If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings.  If for any reason any party’s Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party.  The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

“Office” means a branch or office of a party, which may be such party’s head or home office.

 

“Potential Event of Default” means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

 

“Reference Market-makers” means four leading dealers in the relevant market selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city.

 

“Relevant Jurisdiction” means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this Agreement and (d) in relation to any payment, from or through which such payment is made.

 

17



 

“Scheduled Payment Date” means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

 

“Set-off” means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on, such payer.

 

“Settlement Amount” means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of:

 

(a)                                  the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and

“Stamp Tax” means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.

 

“Tax” means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.

“Termination Currency” has the meaning specified in the Schedule.

 

“Termination Currency Equivalent” means, in respect of any amount denominated in the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the “Other Currency”), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot

 

18



 

exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or that later date.  The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.

“Unpaid Amounts” owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate.  Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.  The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably determined by both parties.

(h)                                  Set-off.   Section 6 is modified by adding the following Section 6(f) thereto:

(t)                                     Optional Termination .  Party B may, on any Business Day (the “Optional Termination Date”), terminate and cash settle any Transaction hereunder in whole or in part, by providing prior written notice to Party A designating a day not earlier than the third Business Day following the day on which such notice is effective as the Optional Termination Date; provided that, Party B provides evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Party A that Party B has (or will have on the Optional Termination Date) sufficient available funds to pay any amounts which may be payable by it to Party A in connection with such early termination of such Transaction, and no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists with respect to Party B.  The amount due with respect to any such termination shall be determined pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement as if (a) the Optional Termination Date is the Early Termination Date; (b) Party B is the sole Affected Party (for all purposes other than the election to terminate), (c) such Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction, and (d) in the case of a partial termination, the Notional Amount of the Transaction was the portion of the Transaction subject to such optional termination.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, each FX Transaction and Currency Option Transaction entered into between the parties before, on or after the date of this Agreement shall be a Transaction under this Agreement and shall be part of, subject to and governed by this Agreement. FX Transactions and Currency Option Transactions shall be part of, subject to and governed by this Agreement even if the Confirmation in respect thereof does not state that such FX Transaction or Currency Option Transaction is subject to or governed by this Agreement or does not otherwise reference this Agreement.

 

(c)                                   FX Transactions .

 

Netting of FX Transactions . Section 2(c) shall not apply to FX Transactions. Instead, the following provision will apply to FX Transactions:

 

If amounts in the same currency would be due by both parties in respect of the same Settlement Date (or other payment or delivery date) under one or more FX Transactions between the same pair of Offices of the parties (assuming satisfaction of each condition precedent), then the obligations of the parties for those amounts will be discharged automatically, and if one party’s obligation in that currency would have been greater, replaced by an obligation of that party to pay or deliver the amount of that difference to the other party on that Settlement Date or date.

 

(d)                                  Currency Option Transactions .

 

(i)                                      Currency Option Transaction Premiums . If any Premium of a Currency Option Transaction is not received on the Premium Payment Date, then the Seller may elect to either (A) accept late payment of that Premium, or (B) give written notice of that nonpayment and, if that payment is not received within three Local Business Days of that notice, either (1) treat the related Currency Option Transaction as void, or (2) treat that non-payment as an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement. If the Seller elects to act under clause (A) or (B)(1) of the preceding sentence, then the Buyer shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket costs and actual damages incurred by the Seller in connection with that unpaid or late Premium or void Currency Option Transaction, including, without limitation, interest on that Premium in the same currency as that Premium at the Default Rate and any other costs or expenses incurred by the Seller to compensate it for its loss of bargain, cost of funding or loss incurred as a result of

 

13



 

terminating, liquidating, obtaining or re-establishing a delta hedge or other related trading position with respect to that Currency Option Transaction.

 

(ii)  Netting of Currency Option Transactions . Section 2(c) of this Agreement shall not apply to Currency Option Transactions. Instead, the following provisions will apply to Currency Option Transactions:

 

(A) If Premiums in the same currency would be due by both parties in respect of the same Premium Payment Date under two or more Currency Option Transactions between the same pair of Offices of the parties (assuming satisfaction of each condition precedent), then the obligations of the parties for those Premiums will be discharged automatically, and if one party’s obligation in that currency would have been greater, replaced by an obligation of that party to pay or deliver the amount of that difference to the other party.

 

(B) If amounts in the same currency (other than Premiums) would be due by both parties in respect of the same Settlement Date (or other payment or delivery date) under two or more Currency Option Transactions between the same pair of Offices of the parties (assuming satisfaction of each condition precedent), then the obligations of the parties for those amounts will be discharged automatically, and if one party’s obligation in that currency would have been greater, replaced by an obligation of that party to pay or deliver the amount of that difference to the other party on that Settlement Date or date.

 

(C) For matching Currency Option Transactions, any unexercised Call or Put written by a party will automatically be terminated and discharged, in whole or in part, as applicable, against any unexercised Call or Put, respectively, written by the other party upon the payment in full of both Currency Option Transaction Premiums. Currency Option Transactions are “matching” only if both (i) are granted for the same Put Currency, Call Currency, Expiration Date, Expiration Time, and Strike Price, (ii) have the same exercise style (e.g., American, European or Asian), and (iii) are entered into by the same pair of Offices of the parties. For any partial termination and discharge (where the Currency Option Transactions are for different amounts of the Currency Pair), the remaining portion of the Currency Option Transaction shall continue to be a Currency Option Transaction under this Agreement.

 

(e)                                   Payments on Early Termination . For purposes of Section 6(e), if “Market Quotation” is specified in this Schedule as applying, it shall not apply in the case of FX Transactions and Currency Option Transactions, for which “Loss” shall apply instead.

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

 

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: —

(b)                                  Inconsistenc y. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

 

(c)                                   Single Agreemen t. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

(i)      Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

(b)                                  Change of Accoun t. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.

(i)                                      in the same currency; and

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

 

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.

 

(d)                                  Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

 

(i)                                      Gross-Up . All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will:—

 

(1)          promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;

 

(2)          pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from   any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;

 

(3)          promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

 

(4)          if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:—

 

(A)      the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

 

(B)      the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

 

2



 

(ii)                                   Liabilit y. If: —

 

(1)        X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

 

(2)     X does not so deduct or withhold; and

 

(3)     a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,

 

then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

 

(e)  Default Interes t; Other Amount s. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payme                   nt obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of  any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

3.               Representations

 

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:—

(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without  the written consent of the other party; or

 

(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support Document;

(1)     the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or

 

(2)     the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                     Termination Event s. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event

 

6



 

Upon Merger is the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:----

 

(i)                                      Illegalit y. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party): —

 

(1)          to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

 

(2)          to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

 

(ii)                                   Tax Even t. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

 

(iii)                                Tax Event Upon Merge r. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable  Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii);

 

(iv)                               Credit Event Upon Merge r. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or

 

(v)                                  Additional Termination Even t. If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

 

(c)                                Event of Default and Illegalit y. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.

 

7



 

6.                                       Early Termination

 

(a)                                  Right to Terminate Following Event of Defaul t. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

 

(b)                                  Right to Terminate Following Termination Even t.

 

(i)      Notic e. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.

 

(ii)       Transfer to Avoid Termination Even t. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

 

If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

 

Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

 

(iii)       Two Affected Partie s. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.

 

(iv)      Right to Terminat e. If: —

 

(1)          a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

 

(2)     an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

 

either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not

 

8



 

more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

 

(c)                                   Effect of Designation.

 

(i)                                      If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.

 

(ii)                                   Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

 

(d)                                  Calculations.

 

(i)                                      Statemen t. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.

 

(ii)                                   Payment Dat e. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(e)                                   Payments on Early Terminatio n. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties’ election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market Quotation”  or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the “Second Method”. If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second Method”, as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.

 

(i)      Events of Defaul t. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default: —

 

(1)     First Method and Market Quotatio n. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

 

(2)     First Method and Los s. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.

 

(3)     Second Method and Market Quotatio n. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the

 

9



 

Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

 

(4)     Second Method and Los s. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

 

(ii)                                   Termination Event s. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event: —

 

(1)     One Affected Part y. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined  in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.

 

(2)     Two Affected Partie s. If there are two Affected Parties: —

 

(A)      if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with  the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and

 

(B)     if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss (“Y”).

 

If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.

 

(iii)                                Adjustment for Bankruptc y. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to  reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).

 

(iv)                               Pre-Estimat e. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.

7.                                       Transfer

 

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that: —

 

(a)                                  a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

 

(b)                                  a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

 

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

 

8.                                       Contractual Currency

 

(a)                                  Payment in the Contractual Currenc y. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.

 

(b)                                  Judgment s. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other  party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or  such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with  the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party. The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

 

(c)                                   Separate Indemnitie s. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                  Evidence of Los s. For tbe purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

(c)                                   Survival of Obligation s. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction.

This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

 

(b)                                  Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

15



 

been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.

“Reference Market-makers” means four leading dealers in the relevant market selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city.

 

“Relevant Jurisdiction” means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this Agreement and (d) in relation to any payment, from or through which such payment is made.

 

“Scheduled Payment Date” means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

 

“Set-off” means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on, such payer.

“Stamp Tax” means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.

 

“Tax” means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.

The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.

 

“Termination Event” means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event.

 

“Termination Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts.

 

“Unpaid Amounts” owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for

Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably   determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably determined by both parties.

If amounts in the same currency would be due by both parties in respect of the same Settlement Date (or other payment or delivery date) under one or more FX Transactions between the same pair of Offices of the parties (assuming satisfaction of each condition precedent), then the obligations of the parties for those amounts will be discharged automatically, and if one party’s obligation in that currency would have been greater, replaced by an obligation of that party to pay or deliver the amount of that difference to the other party on that Settlement Date or date.

 

(d)                                  Currency Option Transactions .

 

(i)                                                                                        Currency Option Transaction Premiums . If any Premium of a Currency Option Transaction is not received on the Premium Payment Date, then the Seller may elect to either (A) accept late payment of that Premium, or (B) give written notice of that nonpayment and, if that payment is not received within three Local Business Days of that notice, either (1) treat the related Currency Option Transaction as void, or (2) treat that non-payment as an Event of Default under Section S(a)(i) of this Agreement. If the Seller elects to act under clause (A) or (B)(l) of the preceding sentence, then the Buyer shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket costs and actual damages incurred by the Seller in connection with that unpaid or late Premium or void Currency Option Transaction, including, without limitation, interest on that Premium in the same currency as that Premium at the Default Rate and any other costs or expenses incurred by the Seller to compensate it for its loss of bargain, cost of funding or loss incurred as a result of terminating, liquidating, obtaining or re-establishing a delta hedge or other related trading position with respect to that Currency Option Transaction.

(ii)             Netting of Currency Option Transactions . Section 2(c) of this Agreement shall not apply to Currency Option Transactions. Instead, the following provisions will apply to Currency Option Transactions:

 

(A)             If Premiums in the same currency would be due by both parties in respect of the same Premium Payment Date under two or more Currency Option Transactions between the same pair of Offices of the parties (assuming satisfaction of each condition precedent), then the obligations of the parties for those Premiums will be discharged automatically, and if one party’s obligation in that currency would have been greater, replaced by an obligation of that party to pay or deliver the amount of that difference to the other party.

 

(B)          If amounts in the same currency (other than Premiums) would be due by both parties in respect of the same Settlement Date (or other payment or delivery date) under two or more Currency Option Transactions between the same pair of Offices of the parties (assuming satisfaction of each condition precedent), then the obligations of the parties for those amounts will be discharged automatically, and if one party’s obligation in that currency would have been greater, replaced by an obligation of that party to pay or deliver the amount of that difference to the other party on that Settlement Date or date.

 

(C)          For matching Currency Option Transactions, any unexercised Call or Put written by a party will automatically be terminated and discharged, in whole or in part, as applicable, against any unexercised Call or Put, respectively, written by the other party upon the payment in full of both Currency Option Transaction Premiums. Currency Option Transactions are “matching” only if both (i) are granted for the same Put Currency, Call Currency, Expiration Date, Expiration Time, and Strike Price, (ii) have the same exercise style (e.g., American, European or Asian), and (iii) are entered into by the same pair of Offices of the parties. For any partial termination and discharge (where the Currency Option Transactions are for different amounts of the Currency Pair), the remaining portion of the Currency Option Transaction shall continue to be a Currency Option Transaction under this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Payments on Early Termination . For purposes of Section 6(e), if “Market Quotation” is specified in this Schedule as applying, it shall not apply in the case of FX Transactions and Currency Option Transactions, for which “Loss” shall apply instead.

RECITALS

 

The Bank has entered into, or has agreed to enter into, the Swap Transactions (as hereinafter defined) with O.com Land, LLC (the “ Borrower ”).  The Bank would not have agreed to enter into the Swap Transactions but for this Guaranty and the Guarantor’s agreement to guaranty the Obligations (as hereinafter defined); the Guarantor has received a direct and substantial benefit as a result of the Bank’s agreement to enter into the Swap Transactions and as a result of the delivery by the Guarantor of this Guaranty.

8.                                       Set-Off .   The Guarantor agrees that the Bank may at any time without prior notice or demand set off against any credit balance or other money then owed it by the Bank all or any part of the Guarantor’s Obligations hereunder.

 

9.                                       Continuing Liability .  This Guaranty is intended to and shall be a continuing guaranty and shall not be revoked by death, dissolution, merger, or consolidation of any person.  The Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations which might otherwise be available to it with respect to the Obligations or any rights of the Bank hereunder.  If for any reason the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in whole or in part, the obligation of the Guarantor shall remain in effect and be enforced to the fullest extent consistent with such ruling.

 

10.                                Return of Payments by the Bank .  If at any time all or any part of any payment which is received by the Bank from the Guarantor or on behalf of the Borrower is or must be rescinded or returned by the Bank to the Guarantor or any trustee, receiver, creditor or other party pursuant to applicable law for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower), such payment shall, for the purposes of this Guaranty, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such receipt by the Bank, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such original payment had not been received by the Bank.

 

11.                                Creditworthiness .  The Guarantor has independently investigated the creditworthiness of the Borrower and is not relying on any statement of the Bank in executing and delivering this Guaranty.  The Guarantor has made its own independent evaluation of the risks and merits of the business venture out of which the Obligations arise without any reliance upon the Bank, and the Guarantor shall continue to independently investigate the creditworthiness of the Borrower while this Guaranty is in effect.

 

12.                                Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction .  This Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York.  The parties hereto acknowledge that this Guaranty was negotiated with the assistance of counsel and, accordingly, such laws shall be applied without reference to any rules of construction regarding the draftsman hereof.  The Bank may enforce any claim arising out of the Guaranty in any state or federal court having subject matter jurisdiction and located in Utah, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.  The Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of process out of

 



 

said courts by mailing a copy thereof, by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Guarantor and agrees that such service, to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (b) shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon personal delivery to it.  Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or preclude the Bank from bringing an action or proceeding in respect hereof in any other country, state or place having jurisdiction over such action.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any court located in Utah and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

13.                                WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT COERCION, WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR IN RELATION TO (A) THIS GUARANTY, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, (B) ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, OR (C) ANY ACT, CONDUCT OR OMISSION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY RELATIONSHIP CREATED THEREBY, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

 

14.                                Successors; Construction and Effect .  This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Bank and its successors and assigns.  Neither the Guarantor nor the Bank may assign its rights or interests or delegate its obligations hereunder to any other person without the prior written consent of the Guarantor or the Bank, as the case may be. The Guarantor acknowledges the Bank’s acceptance of this Guaranty and reliance thereon.  The terms of this Guaranty cannot be waived, altered, rescinded or otherwise amended except by a written document to which each of the Bank and the Guarantor is a signatory and which expressly contains such waiver, alteration, rescission or other amendment.  This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the Guarantor and Bank with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, as to the Obligations only (and not with respect to any other debts, obligations or liabilities between the Borrower, Guarantor and Bank) supersedes all previous understandings and agreements between the Guarantor and Bank.

 

15.                                Eligible Contract Participant Savings Clause .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not include any obligation to pay or perform the obligations of any Borrower under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. §1, et seq ., as amended from time to time, and any successor statute) if and only to the extent that the guarantee by the Guarantor of, or the grant by the Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such obligation is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation thereof), including by virtue of the Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the

 



 

regulations thereunder at the time the guarantee by the Guarantor or the grant of such security interest becomes effective with respect to such obligation.

 

16.                                Limitations. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be and is specifically limited to payments expressly required to be made hereunder. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GUARANTOR BE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OF PROFITS, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES).

 

17.                                Termination. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until the indefeasible satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

 

This Guaranty has been executed as of the day and year first written above.
