MULTIFAMILY LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS MULTIFAMILY LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“ Loan Agreement ”) is dated as of the     day of           , 20    and is made by and between RESIDENCES AT CAPTAIN PARKERS, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), and                     , a                    (together with its successors and assigns, “ Lender ”).

 

RECITAL

 

Lender has agreed to make and Borrower has agreed to accept a loan in the original principal amount of $                               (“ Loan ”). Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these promises, the mutual covenants contained in this Loan Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I                                                      DEFINED TERMS; CONSTRUCTION.

 

1.01                         Defined Terms. Each defined term in this Loan Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to that term in Article XII unless otherwise defined in this Loan Agreement.

 

1.02                         Construction.

 

(a)                                  The captions and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Loan Agreement are for convenience only and will be disregarded in construing this Loan Agreement.

 

(b)                                  Any reference in this Loan Agreement to an “Exhibit,” an “Article” or a “Section” will, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring, respectively, to an Exhibit attached to this Loan Agreement or to an Article or Section of this Loan Agreement.

 

(c)                                   All Exhibits and Riders attached to or referred to in this Loan Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Loan Agreement.

 

(d)                                  Any reference in this Loan Agreement to a statute or regulation will be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time.

 

(e)                                   Use of the singular in this Loan Agreement includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular.

 

1

 

(f)                                    As used in this Loan Agreement, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to” and the term “includes” means “includes without limitation.”

 

(g)                                   The use of one gender includes the other gender, as the context may require.

 

(h)                                  Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document in this Loan Agreement will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth in this Loan Agreement), and (ii) any reference in this Loan Agreement to any Person will be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.

 

(i)                                      Any reference in this Loan Agreement to “Lender’s requirements,” “as required by Lender,” or similar references will be construed, after Securitization, to mean Lender’s requirements or standards as determined in accordance with Lender’s and Loan Servicer’s obligations under the terms of the Securitization documents.

 

ARTICLE II                                                 LOAN.

 

2.01                         Loan Terms. The Loan will be evidenced by the Note and will bear interest and be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Note.

 

2.02                         Prepayment Premium. Borrower will be required to pay a prepayment premium in connection with certain prepayments of the Indebtedness, including a payment made after Lender’s exercise of any right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

 

2.03                         Exculpation. Borrower’s personal liability for payment of the Indebtedness and for performance of the other obligations to be performed by it under this Loan Agreement is limited in the manner, and to the extent, provided in the Note.

 

2.04                         Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender (unless otherwise required by applicable law), in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Neither Lender’s acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable, nor Lender’s application of such payment in the manner authorized, will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Note and all other Loan Documents will remain unchanged.

 

2.05                         Usury Savings. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge provided for in

 

2

 

any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges levied in connection with any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that charge is reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts will be applied by Lender to reduce the principal amount of the Indebtedness. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in connection with the Indebtedness which constitute interest, will be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading will be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.

 

2.06                         Floating Rate Mortgage - Third Party Cap Agreement. If (a) the Note does not provide for interest to accrue at a floating or variable interest rate (other than during any Extension Period, if applicable), and (b) a third party Cap Agreement is not required, then this Section 2.06 and Section 3.04 will be of no force or effect.

 

(a)                                  So long as there is no Event of Default, Lender or Loan Servicer will remit to Borrower each Cap Payment received by Lender or Loan Servicer with respect to any month for which Borrower has paid in full the monthly installment of principal and interest or interest only, as applicable, due under the Note. Alternatively, at Lender’s option, so long as there is no Event of Default, Lender may apply a Cap Payment received by Lender or Loan Servicer with respect to any month to the applicable monthly payment of accrued interest due under the Note if Borrower has paid in full the remaining portion of such monthly payment of principal and interest or interest only, as applicable.

 

(b)                                  Neither the existence of a Cap Agreement nor anything in this Loan Agreement will relieve Borrower of its primary obligation to timely pay in full all amounts due under the Note and otherwise due on account of the Indebtedness.

 

ARTICLE III                                            LOAN SECURITY AND GUARANTY.

 

3.01                         Security Instrument. Borrower will execute the Security Instrument dated of even date with this Loan Agreement. The Security Instrument will be recorded in the applicable land records in the Property Jurisdiction.

 

3.02                         Reserve Funds.

 

(a)                                  Security Interest . To secure Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and to further secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower conveys, pledges, transfers and grants to Lender a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the Property Jurisdiction or any other applicable law in and to all money in the Reserve Funds, as the same

 

3

 

may increase or decrease from time to time, all interest and dividends thereon and all proceeds thereof.

 

(b)                                  Supplemental Loan . If this Loan Agreement is entered into in connection with a Supplemental Loan and if the same Person is or becomes both Senior Lender and Supplemental Lender, then:

 

(i)             Borrower assigns and grants to Supplemental Lender a security interest in the Reserve Funds established in connection with the Senior Indebtedness as additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under the Supplemental Note.

 

(ii)            In addition, Borrower assigns and grants to Senior Lender a security interest in the Reserve Funds established in connection with the Supplemental Indebtedness as additional security for all of Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Note.

 

(iii)           It is the intention of Borrower that all amounts deposited by Borrower in connection with either the Senior Loan Documents, the Supplemental Loan Documents, or both, constitute collateral for the Supplemental Indebtedness secured by the Supplemental Instrument and the Senior Indebtedness secured by the Senior Instrument, with the application of such amounts to such Senior Indebtedness or Supplemental Indebtedness to be at the discretion of Senior Lender and Supplemental Lender.

 

3.03                         Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This Loan Agreement is also a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the Mortgaged Property which, under applicable law, may be subjected to a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, for the purpose of securing Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and to further secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note, Security Instrument and other Loan Documents, whether such Mortgaged Property is owned now or acquired in the future, and all products and cash and non-cash proceeds thereof (collectively, “ UCC Collateral ”), and by this Loan Agreement, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the UCC Collateral.

 

3.04                         Cap Agreement and Cap Collateral Assignment. Reserved.

 

3.05                         Guaranty. Borrower will cause each Guarantor (if any) to execute a Guaranty of all or a portion of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents effective as of the date of this Loan Agreement.

ARTICLE IV                                             RESERVE FUNDS AND REQUIREMENTS.

 

4.01                         Reserves Generally.

 

(a)                                  Establishment of Reserve Funds; Investment of Deposits . Unless otherwise provided in Section 4.03 and/or Section 4.04, each Reserve Fund will be established on the date of this Loan Agreement and each of the following will apply:

 

(i)                                      All Reserve Funds will be deposited in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution or invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.

 

(ii)                                   Lender will not be obligated to open additional accounts or deposit Reserve Funds in additional institutions when the amount of any Reserve Fund exceeds the maximum amount of the federal deposit insurance or guaranty. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it will not have the right to direct Lender as to any specific investment of monies in any Reserve Fund. Lender will not be responsible for any losses resulting from investment of monies in any Reserve Fund or for obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such investment.

 

(b)                                  Interest on Reserve Funds; Trust Funds . Unless applicable law requires, Lender will not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the Reserve Funds. Any amounts deposited with Lender under this Article IV will not be trust funds, nor will they operate to reduce the Indebtedness, unless applied by Lender for that purpose pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement.

 

(c)                                   Use of Reserve Funds . Each Reserve Fund will, except as otherwise provided in this Loan Agreement, be used for the sole purpose of paying, or reimbursing Borrower for payment of, the item(s) for which the applicable Reserve Fund was established. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, except as specified in this Loan Agreement, monies in one Reserve Fund will not be used to pay, or reimburse Borrower for, matters for which another Reserve Fund has been established.

 

(d)                                  Termination of Reserve Funds . Upon the payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender will pay to Borrower all funds remaining in any Reserve Funds.

 

(e)                                   Reserved.

 

4.02                         Reserves for Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

 

(a)                                  Deposits to Imposition Reserve Deposits . Borrower will deposit with Lender on the day monthly installments of principal or interest, or both, are due under the

 

5

 

Note (or on another day designated in writing by Lender), until the Indebtedness is paid in full, an additional amount sufficient to accumulate with Lender the entire sum required to pay, when due, the items marked “Collect” below. Except as provided in Section 4.02(e), Lender will not require Borrower to make Imposition Reserve Deposits with respect to the items marked “Deferred” below.

 

[       ]               Property Insurance premiums or premiums for other Insurance required by Lender under Section 6.10

 

[       ]               Taxes and payments in lieu of taxes

 

[       ]               water and sewer charges that could become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property

 

[       ]               Ground Rents

 

[       ]               assessments or other charges that could become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property, including home owner association dues

 

The amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) are collectively referred to in this Loan Agreement as the “ Imposition Reserve Deposits .” The obligations of Borrower for which the Imposition Reserve Deposits are required are collectively referred to in this Loan Agreement as “ Impositions .” The amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits must be sufficient to enable Lender to pay each Imposition before the last date upon which such payment may be made without any penalty or interest charge being added. Lender will maintain records indicating how much of the monthly Imposition Reserve Deposits and how much of the aggregate Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender are held for the purpose of paying Taxes, Insurance premiums, Ground Rent (if applicable) and each other Imposition.

 

(b)                                  Disbursement of Imposition Reserve Deposits . Lender will apply the Imposition Reserve Deposits to pay Impositions so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender will pay all Impositions from the Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender upon Lender’s receipt of a bill or invoice for an Imposition. If Borrower holds a ground lessee interest in the Mortgaged Property and Imposition Reserve Deposits are collected for Ground Rent, then Lender will pay the monthly or other periodic installments of Ground Rent from the Imposition Reserve Deposits, whether or not Lender receives a bill or invoice for such installments. Lender will have no obligation to pay any Imposition to the extent it exceeds the amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits then held by Lender. Lender may pay an Imposition according to any bill, statement or estimate from the appropriate public office, Ground Lessor (if applicable) or insurance company without inquiring into the accuracy of the bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of the Imposition.

 

6

 

(c)                                   Excess or Deficiency of Imposition Reserve Deposits . If at any time the amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition exceeds the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Lender, the excess will be credited against future installments of Imposition Reserve Deposits. If at any time the amount of the Imposition Reserve Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition is less than the amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be necessary, Borrower will pay to Lender the amount of the deficiency within 15 days after Notice from Lender.

 

(d)                                  Delivery of Invoices . Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all notices of, and invoices for, Impositions.

 

(e)                                   Deferral of Collection of Any Imposition Reserve Deposits; Delivery of Receipts . If Lender does not collect an Imposition Reserve Deposit with respect to an Imposition either marked “Deferred” in Section 4.02(a) or pursuant to a separate written deferral by Lender, then on or before the earlier of the date each such Imposition is due, or the date this Loan Agreement requires each such Imposition to be paid, Borrower will provide Lender with proof of payment of each such Imposition. Upon Notice to Borrower, Lender may revoke its deferral and require Borrower to deposit with Lender any or all of the Imposition Reserve Deposits listed in Section 4.02(a), regardless of whether any such item is marked “Deferred” (i) if Borrower does not timely pay any of the Impositions, (ii) if Borrower fails to provide timely proof to Lender of such payment, (iii) at any time during the existence of an Event of Default or (iv) upon placement of a Supplemental Loan in accordance with Section 11.11.

(vii)                            After completion of the Restoration the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is expected to be less than the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to such casualty (assuming the affected portion of the Mortgaged Property is re-let within a reasonable period after the date of such casualty).

 

(viii)                         Leases covering less than 35% of the residential units of the Mortgaged Property will remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration.

Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any Insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness will not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note, Article IV of this Loan Agreement or change the amount of such installments.

 

(o)                                  Assignment of Insurance Proceeds . Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any Insurance proceeds as Lender may require.

 

(p)                                  Borrower Acknowledgment of Lender’s Right to Change Insurance Requirements . Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s Insurance requirements may change from time to time throughout the term of the Indebtedness to include coverage for the kind of risks customarily insured against and in such minimum coverage amounts and maximum deductibles as are generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Mortgaged Property.

 

6.11                         Condemnation.

 

(a)                                  Rights Generally . Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (“ Condemnation ”). Borrower will appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender

 

34

 

as attorney in fact for Borrower to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation, after consultation with Borrower and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.11(a) will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to the Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation.

 

(b)                                  Application of Award . Lender may hold such awards or proceeds and apply such awards or proceeds, after the deduction of Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) at Lender’s option, to the Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to the payment of the Indebtedness, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any awards or proceeds to the Indebtedness will not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note or Article IV of this Loan Agreement, or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any Condemnation awards or proceeds as Lender may require.

 

(c)                                   Borrower’s Right to Condemnation Proceeds . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 6.11, but subject to Section 6.11(e), in the event of a partial Condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, as long as no Event of Default, or any event which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a partial Condemnation resulting in proceeds or awards in the amount of less than $100,000, Borrower will have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of Lender so long as the proceeds or awards are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(d)                                  Right to Apply Condemnation Proceeds to Indebtedness . In the event of a partial Condemnation of the Mortgaged Property resulting in proceeds or awards in the amount of $100,000 or more and subject to Section 6.11(e), Lender will have the right to exercise its option to apply Condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness only if Lender, in Lender’s Discretion, determines that at least one of the following conditions is met:

 

(i)                                      An Event of Default (or any event, which, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing.

 

35

 

(ii)                                   There will not be sufficient funds from Condemnation proceeds, anticipated contributions of Borrower of its own funds or other sources acceptable to Lender to complete the Restoration.

 

(iii)                                The rental income from the Mortgaged Property after completion of the Restoration will not be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, deposits to Reserve Funds and Loan repayment obligations relating to the Mortgaged Property.

 

(iv)                               The Restoration will not be completed at least one year before the Maturity Date (or 6 months before the Maturity Date if re-leasing of the Mortgaged Property will be completed within such 6 month period).

 

(v)                                  The Restoration will not be completed within one year after the date of the Condemnation.

 

(vi)                               The Condemnation involved an actual or constructive loss of more than 15% of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, and rendered untenantable more than 25% of the residential units of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(vii)                            After Restoration the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is expected to be less than the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to the Condemnation (assuming the affected portion of the Mortgaged Property is re-let within a reasonable period after the date of the Condemnation).

 

(viii)                         Leases covering less than 35% of residential units of the Mortgaged Property will remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration.

 

(e)                                 Right to Apply Condemnation Proceeds in Connection with a Partial Release . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Loan Agreement, including this Section 6.11, for so long as the Loan or any portion of the Loan is included in a Securitization in which the Note is assigned to a REMIC trust, then each of the following will apply:

 

(i)                                      If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is released from the Lien of the Loan in connection with a Condemnation and if the ratio of (A) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to (B) the value of the Mortgaged Property (with the value of the Mortgaged Property first being reduced by the outstanding principal balance of any Senior Indebtedness or any indebtedness secured by the Mortgaged Property that is at the same level of priority with the Indebtedness and taking into account only the related land and buildings and not any personal property or going-concern value), as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted in connection with a

 

36

 

Securitization, is greater than 125% immediately after such Condemnation and before any Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property (but taking into account any planned Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property as if such planned Restoration or repair were completed), then Lender will apply any net proceeds or awards from such Condemnation, in full, to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness whether or not then due and payable, unless Lender has received an opinion of counsel (acceptable to Lender if such opinion is provided by Borrower) that a different application of the net proceeds or awards will not cause such Securitization to fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to any tax, and the net proceeds or awards are applied in the manner specified in such opinion..

 

(ii)                                   If (A) neither Borrower nor Lender has the right to receive any or all net proceeds or awards as a result of the provisions of any agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property (including any Ground Lease (if applicable), condominium document, or reciprocal easement agreement) and, therefore cannot apply the net proceeds or awards to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness as set forth above, or (B) Borrower receives any or all of the proceeds or awards described in Section 6.11(e)(ii)(A) and fails to apply the proceeds in accordance with Section 6.11(e)(i), then Borrower will prepay the Indebtedness in an amount which Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary to ensure that the Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or be subject to any tax as a result of the Condemnation, unless Lender has received an opinion of counsel (acceptable to Lender if such opinion is provided by Borrower) that a different application of the net proceeds or awards will not cause such Securitization to fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to any tax, and the net proceeds or awards are applied in the manner specified in such opinion.

 

(f)                                  Succession to Condemnation Proceeds . If the Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or Lender acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, Lender will automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any Condemnation proceeds and awards prior to such sale or acquisition.

 

6.12                         Environmental Hazards.

 

(a)                                  Prohibited Activities and Conditions . Except for matters described in this Section 6.12, Borrower will not cause or permit Prohibited Activities or Conditions. Borrower will comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Borrower will:  (i) obtain and maintain all Environmental Permits required by Hazardous Materials Laws and comply with all conditions of such Environmental Permits, (ii) cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority, and (iii)

 

37

 

comply with any governmental or judicial order that arises from any alleged Prohibited Activity or Condition.

 

(b)                                  Employees, Tenants and Contractors . Borrower will take all commercially reasonable actions (including the inclusion of appropriate provisions in any Leases executed after the date of this Loan Agreement) to prevent its employees, agents and contractors, and all tenants and other occupants from causing or permitting any Prohibited Activities or Conditions. Borrower will not lease or allow the sublease or use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to any tenant or subtenant for nonresidential use by any user that, in the ordinary course of its business, would cause or permit any Prohibited Activity or Condition.

 

(c)                                   O&M Programs . As required by Lender, Borrower will also have established a written operations and maintenance program with respect to certain Hazardous Materials. Each such operations and maintenance program and any additional or revised operations and maintenance programs established for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 6.12 must be approved by Lender and will be referred to in this Loan Agreement as an “ O&M Program .” Borrower will comply in a timely manner with, and cause all employees, agents, and contractors of Borrower and any other Persons present on the Mortgaged Property to comply with each O&M Program. Borrower will pay all costs of performance of Borrower’s obligations under any O&M Program, and Lender’s out of pocket costs incurred in connection with the monitoring and review of each O&M Program must be paid by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Any such out-of-pocket costs of Lender that Borrower fails to pay promptly will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02.

 

(d)                                  Notice to Lender . Borrower will promptly give Notice to Lender upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(i)                                      Borrower’s discovery of any Prohibited Activity or Condition.

 

(ii)                                   Borrower’s receipt of or knowledge of any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any tenant, Property Manager, Governmental Authority or other Person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities or Conditions, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Mortgaged Property.

 

(iii)                                Borrower’s breach of any of its obligations under this Section 6.12.

 

Any such Notice given by Borrower will not relieve Borrower of, or result in a waiver of, any obligation under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.

 

(e)                                   Environmental Inspections, Tests and Audits . Borrower will pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits, a purpose of which is to

 

38

 

identify the extent or cause of or potential for a Prohibited Activity or Condition (“ Environmental Inspections ”), required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer under Article VII, or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and the costs of technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) that Borrower fails to pay promptly will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02. As long as: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower has actually paid for or reimbursed Lender for all costs of any such Environmental Inspections performed or required by Lender, and (iii) Lender is not prohibited by law, contract or otherwise from doing so, Lender will make available to Borrower, without representation of any kind, copies of Environmental Inspections prepared by third parties and delivered to Lender. Lender reserves the right, and Borrower expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise ensure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender will have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender to any third party, and Borrower releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages or causes of action arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of the delivery of any Environmental Inspections made by or for Lender.

 

(f)                                    Remedial Work . If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, Restoration or other remedial work (“ Remedial Work ”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower will, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law, or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and must in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower will reimburse Lender on demand for the cost

 

39

 

of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender will become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02.

The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, will not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness will not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 6.10 and 6.11 will not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

 

67

(vii)                            Lender’s failure to properly perfect any Lien or security interest given as security for the Indebtedness.

 

(h)                                  Payments by Borrower . Borrower will, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

 

(i)                                      Pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against any Indemnitee or Indemnitees in any legal or administrative proceeding incident to any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Article X.

 

(ii)                                   Reimburse Indemnitees for any expenses paid or incurred in connection with any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Article X.

indemnification under this Article X without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, pursued any rights against any Guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligation of those Persons to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article X will be joint and several. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article X will survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Lien of the Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of, or held title to, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article X after the date of the release of record of the Lien of the Security Instrument by payment in full at the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Borrower shall not be liable to Lender under this Article X for environmental liabilities arising after the date Lender takes title by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure arising as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.08                  Disclosure of Information. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, ownership, purchase, participation or Securitization of the Loan, including any of the Rating Agencies, any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, as well as governmental regulatory agencies having regulatory authority over Lender, any and all information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, any SPE Equity Owner or any Guarantor, as Lender determines necessary or desirable and that such information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization or syndication of participation interests, including a prospectus, prospectus supplement, offering memorandum, private placement memorandum or similar document (each, a “Disclosure Document” ) and also may be included in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act.

All actions regarding the servicing of the Loan evidenced by the Note, including the collection of payments, the giving and receipt of Notice, inspections of the Mortgaged Property, inspections of books and records, and the granting of consents and approvals, may be taken by the Loan Servicer unless Borrower receives Notice to the contrary. If Borrower receives conflicting Notices regarding the identity of the Loan Servicer or any other subject, any such Notice from Lender will govern.

 

11.11                  Supplemental Financing.

 

(a)                                  This Section will apply only if at the time of any application referred to in Section 11.11(b), Freddie Mac has in effect a product described in its Multifamily

 

76

 

Seller/Servicer Guide under which it purchases supplemental mortgages on multifamily properties that meet specified criteria (“ Supplemental Mortgage Product ”). For purposes of this Section 11.11 only, the term “Freddie Mac” will include any affiliate or subsidiary of Freddie Mac.

 

(b)                                  After the first anniversary of the date of the most recently incurred Senior Indebtedness, Freddie Mac will consider an application from an originating lender that is generally approved by Freddie Mac to sell mortgages to Freddie Mac under the Supplemental Mortgage Product (“ Approved Seller/Servicer ”) for the purchase by Freddie Mac of a proposed indebtedness of Borrower to the Approved Seller/Servicer to be secured by one or more Supplemental Instruments on the Mortgaged Property. Freddie Mac will purchase each Supplemental Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property if each of the following conditions is satisfied:

 

(i)                                      At the time of the proposed Supplemental Loan, no Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing and no event or condition may have occurred and be continuing that, with the giving of Notice or the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.

 

(ii)                                   Borrower and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to Freddie Mac under its Supplemental Mortgage Product.

 

(iii)                                New loan documents must be entered into to reflect each Supplemental Loan, such documents to be acceptable to Freddie Mac in its discretion.

 

(iv)                               No Supplemental Loan may cause the combined debt service coverage ratio of the Mortgaged Property after the making of that Supplemental Loan to be less than the Minimum DSCR. As used in this Section, the term “combined debt service coverage ratio” means, with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the ratio of:

 

(A)                                the annual net operating income from the operations of the Mortgaged Property at the time of the proposed Supplemental Loan,

 

to

 

(B)                                the aggregate of the annual principal and interest payable on all of the following:

 

(I)                                    the Indebtedness under this Loan Agreement (using a 30 year amortization schedule),

 

(II)                               any “Indebtedness” as defined in any security instruments recorded against the Mortgaged Property (using a 30 year amortization schedule for any Supplemental Loans), and

 

77

 

(III)                          the proposed “Indebtedness” for any Supplemental Loan (using a 30 year amortization schedule).

 

As used in this Section, “annual principal and interest” with respect to a floating rate loan will be calculated by Freddie Mac using an interest rate equal to one of the following:

 

(X)                                If the loan has an internal interest rate cap, the Capped Interest Rate.

 

(Y)                                If the loan has an external interest rate cap, the Strike Rate plus the Margin.

 

(Z)                                 If the loan has no interest rate cap, the greater of (I) 7%, or (II) the then-current LIBOR Index Rate plus the Margin plus 300 basis points.

 

The annual net operating income of the Mortgaged Property will be as determined by Freddie Mac in its discretion considering factors such as income in place at the time of the proposed Supplemental Loan and income during the preceding 12 months, and actual, historical and anticipated operating expenses. Freddie Mac will determine the combined debt service coverage ratio of the Mortgaged Property based on its underwriting. Borrower will provide Freddie Mac such financial statements and other information Freddie Mac may require to make these determinations.

 

(v)                                  No Supplemental Loan may cause the combined loan to value ratio of the Mortgaged Property after the making of that Supplemental Loan to exceed the Maximum Combined LTV, as determined by Freddie Mac. As used in this Section, “combined loan to value ratio” means, with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of:

 

(A)                                the aggregate outstanding principal balances of all of the following:

 

(I)                                    the Indebtedness under this Loan Agreement,

 

(II)                               any “Indebtedness” as defined in any security instruments recorded against the Mortgaged Property, and

 

(III)                          the proposed “Indebtedness” for any Supplemental Loan,

 

to

 

78

 

(B)                                the value of the Mortgaged Property.

 

Freddie Mac will determine the combined loan to value ratio of the Mortgaged Property based on its underwriting. Borrower will provide Freddie Mac such financial statements and other information Freddie Mac may require to make these determinations. In addition, Freddie Mac, at Borrower’s expense, may obtain MAI appraisals of the Mortgaged Property in order to assist Freddie Mac in making the determinations under this Section. If Freddie Mac requires an appraisal, then the value of the Mortgaged Property that will be used to determine whether the Maximum Combined LTV has been met will be the lesser of the appraised value set forth in such appraisal or the value of the Mortgaged Property as determined by Freddie Mac.

 

(vi)                               Borrower’s organizational documents are amended to permit Borrower to incur additional debt in the form of Supplemental Loans (Lender will consent to such amendment(s)).

 

(vii)                            One or more Persons acceptable to Freddie Mac executes and delivers to the Approved Seller/Servicer a Guaranty in a form acceptable to Freddie Mac with respect to the exceptions to non-recourse liability described in Freddie Mac’s form promissory note, unless Freddie Mac has elected to waive its requirement for a Guaranty.

 

(viii)                         The loan term of each Supplemental Loan will be coterminous with the Senior Indebtedness or longer than the Senior Indebtedness, in Freddie Mac’s discretion.

 

(ix)                               The Prepayment Premium Period of each Supplemental Loan will be coterminous with the Prepayment Premium Period or the combined Lockout Period and Defeasance Period, as applicable, of the Senior Indebtedness.

 

(x)                                  The interest rate of each Supplemental Loan will be determined by Freddie Mac in its discretion.

 

(xi)                               Lender enters into an intercreditor agreement (“ Intercreditor Agreement ”) acceptable to Freddie Mac and to Lender for each Supplemental Loan.

 

(xii)                            Borrower’s payment of fees and other expenses charged by Lender, Freddie Mac, the Approved Seller/Servicer, and the Rating Agencies (including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs) in connection with reviewing and originating each Supplemental Loan.

 

79

 

(xiii)                         Commencing on the date that the first Supplemental Loan is originated and continuing for so long as any Supplemental Loan is outstanding, the first lien Senior Lender will begin collection of any deferred Monthly Deposit or Revised Monthly Deposit for Capital Replacements in accordance with Section 4.04(e) (if applicable) as well as Imposition Reserve Deposits for any of the following Impositions marked ‘Deferred’ in Section 4.02(a):

 

(A)                                Property Insurance premiums or premiums for other Insurance required by Lender under Section 6.10.

 

(B)                                Taxes and payments in lieu of taxes

 

(C)                                Ground Rents

 

Such deposits will be credited to the payment of any such required Imposition Reserve Deposits under any Supplemental Loan.

 

(xiv)                        If any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Mortgaged Property provide for a lien for any assessments or other unpaid amounts, Borrower will provide satisfactory evidence that such lien will be subordinate to the lien of the Supplemental Instrument.

 

(xv)                           All other requirements of the Supplemental Mortgage Product must be met, unless Freddie Mac has elected to waive one or more of its requirements.

 

(xvi)                        Reserved.

 

(xvii)                     Reserved.

 

(c)                                   No later than 5 Business Days after Lender’s receipt of a written request from Borrower, Lender will provide the following information to an Approved Seller/Servicer:

 

(i)                                      The then-current outstanding principal balance of the Senior Indebtedness.

 

(ii)                                   Payment history of the Senior Indebtedness.

 

(iii)                                Whether any Reserve Funds are being collected on the Senior Indebtedness and the amount of each such Reserve Fund deposit as of the date of the request.

 

(iv)                               Whether any Repairs, Capital Replacements or improvements or rental achievement or burn-off guaranty requirements are existing or outstanding under the terms of the Senior Indebtedness.

 

80

 

(v)                                  A copy of the most recent inspection report for the Mortgaged Property.

 

(vi)                               Whether any modifications or amendments have been made to the Loan Documents for the Senior Indebtedness since origination of the Senior Indebtedness and, if applicable, a copy of such modifications and amendments.

 

(vii)                            Whether to Lender’s knowledge any Event of Default exists under the Senior Indebtedness.

 

Lender will only be obligated to provide this information in connection with Borrower’s request for a Supplemental Loan from an Approved Seller/Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if Freddie Mac is the owner of the Note, this Section 11.11(c) is not applicable.

 

(d)                                  Lender will have no obligation to consent to any mortgage or Lien on the Mortgaged Property that secures any indebtedness other than the Indebtedness, except as set forth in this Loan Agreement.

 

(e)                                   If a Supplemental Loan is made to Borrower, Borrower agrees that the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement will govern with respect to any distributions of excess proceeds by Lender to the Supplemental Lender, and Borrower agrees that Lender may distribute any excess proceeds received by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents to Supplemental Lender pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

11.12                  Defeasance. (Section Applies if Loan is Assigned to REMIC Trust Prior to the Cut-off Date and if the Note provides for Defeasance) . This Section 11.12 will apply only if the Note is assigned to a REMIC trust prior to the Cut-off Date, and if the Note provides for Defeasance. If both of these conditions are met, then, subject to Section 11.12(a) and (c), Borrower will have the right to defease the Loan in whole (“ Defeasance ”) and obtain the release of the Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Security Instrument upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

 

(a)                                  Borrower will not have the right to obtain Defeasance at any of the following times:

 

(i)                                      If the Loan is not assigned to a REMIC trust.

(iii)                                After the expiration of the Defeasance Period.

 

81

 

(iv)                               After Lender has accelerated the maturity of the unpaid principal balance of, accrued interest on, and other amounts payable under, the Note pursuant to Section 11 of the Note.

 

(b)                                  Borrower will give Lender Notice ( “Defeasance Notice” ) specifying a Business Day ( “Defeasance Closing Date” ) on which Borrower desires to close the Defeasance. The Defeasance Closing Date specified by Borrower may not be more than 60 calendar days, nor less than 30 calendar days, after the date on which Lender receives the Defeasance Notice. Lender will acknowledge receipt of the Defeasance Notice and will notify Borrower of the identity of the accommodation borrower (“ Successor Borrower ”).

 

(c)                                   The Defeasance Notice must be accompanied by a $10,000 non-refundable fee (“ Defeasance Fee ”) for Lender’s processing of the Defeasance. If Lender does not receive the Defeasance Fee, then Borrower’s right to obtain Defeasance pursuant to that Defeasance Notice will terminate.

 

(d)                                  (i)                                      If Borrower timely pays the Defeasance Fee, but Borrower fails to perform its other obligations under this Section, Lender will have the right to retain the Defeasance Fee as liquidated damages for Borrower’s default and, except as provided in Section 11.12(d)(ii), Borrower will be released from all further obligations under this Section 11.12. Borrower acknowledges that Lender will incur financing costs in arranging and preparing for the release of the Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Security Instrument in reliance on the executed Defeasance Notice. Borrower agrees that the Defeasance Fee represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Loan Agreement, of the damages Lender will incur by reason of Borrower’s default.

 

(ii)                                   If the Defeasance is not consummated on the Defeasance Closing Date for any reason, Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for all third party costs and expenses (other than financing costs covered by Section 11.12(d)(i)) incurred by Lender in reliance on the executed Defeasance Notice, within 5 Business Days after Borrower receives a written demand for payment, accompanied by a statement, in reasonable detail, of Lender’s third party costs and expenses.

 

(iii)                                All payments required to be made by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 11.12 will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by Lender in its acknowledgement of the Defeasance Notice.

 

(e)                                   No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
