Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 6, 2020, Overstock.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Overstock”), through Peace Coliseum, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Overstock, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with LoanCore Capital Markets LLC (“LoanCore”), a private asset management firm. Also on March 6, 2020, Overstock, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peace Coliseum Mezzanine, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Mezzanine Loan Agreement (the “Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) with LoanCore.

 

Under the Loan Agreement, LoanCore will provide a 10-year loan (the “Loan”) to Peace Coliseum, LLC, in the original principal amount of $34,500,000. Interest on the unpaid principal of the Loan accrues at a rate of 4.242% per annum. Payments on the Loan will be due monthly, with the outstanding unpaid principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loan due and payable on March 6, 2030. Payments may be accelerated upon an event of default by Peace Coliseum, LLC (as described in the Loan Agreement).  The Peace Coliseum, LLC, as borrower, has no right to prepay the Loan except under the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan will be secured by, among other things, all of Peace Coliseum, LLC’s right, title and interest in and to all rent payable pursuant to an intra-company lease agreement between Overstock and Peace Coliseum, LLC, in respect of the office building used by Overstock as its corporate headquarters located at 799 W. Coliseum Way, Midvale, Utah (the “Peace Coliseum”). Such rent will be deposited into an account created pursuant to the Loan Agreement and will be applied to, among other things, payments due under the Loan Agreement and under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. Overstock will serve as a guarantor under the Loan Agreement, pursuant to the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations made by Overstock, as guarantor, in favor of LoanCore (the “Loan Guaranty”), dated as of March 6, 2020. Overstock has agreed under the Loan Guaranty to, among other things, maintain, until all of the obligations guaranteed by Overstock under the Loan Guaranty have been paid in full, (i) a net worth in excess of $30,000,000 and minimum liquid assets of $3,000,000 for so long as the Mezzanine Loan (as defined below) is outstanding, and (ii) a net worth in excess of $15,000,000 and minimum liquid assets of $1,000,000 from and after the date the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full.

 

Under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, LoanCore will provide a 10-year loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) to Peace Coliseum Mezzanine, LLC, in the original principal amount of $13,000,000, which Mezzanine Loan will be subordinated to the Loan provided under the Loan Agreement. Interest on the unpaid principal of the Mezzanine Loan accrues at a rate of 5.002% per annum. Payments on the Mezzanine Loan will be due monthly, with the outstanding unpaid principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Mezzanine Loan due and payable on March 6, 2030. After payments of certain amounts owing under the Loan Agreement except in certain events as described in the Loan Agreement, any remaining rent payments under the intra-company lease agreement between Overstock and Peace Coliseum, LLC will be applied to the principal balance of Mezzanine Loan. Payments may be accelerated upon an event of default by Peace Coliseum Mezzanine, LLC (as described in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement), including any event of default under the Loan Agreement. The Peace Mezzanine Coliseum, LLC, as borrower, may prepay the Mezzanine Loan in whole or in part any time without payment of any prepayment premium, penalty or yield maintenance costs. The Mezzanine Loan will be secured by a pledge of 100% of the limited liability company interest in Peace Coliseum, LLC, and all of Peace Coliseum Mezzanine, LLC’s right, title and interest in and to all payments to or monies held in the accounts created by the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, which accounts will hold all payments made to LoanCore under the Loan Agreement. Overstock will serve as a guarantor under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, pursuant to the Mezzanine Guaranty of Recourse Obligations made by Overstock, as guarantor, in favor of LoanCore (the “Mezzanine Guaranty”), dated as of March 6, 2020. Overstock has agreed under the Mezzanine Guaranty to, among other things, maintain a net worth in excess of $30,000,000 and minimum liquid assets of $3,000,000 until all obligations guaranteed by Overstock under the Mezzanine Guaranty have been paid in full.

(b)                                 On April 6, 2020 and each Payment Date thereafter through and including February 6, 2030, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal accrued at the Interest Rate during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date (collectively, the “Monthly Interest Payment Amount”).

 

(c)                                  All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal at the Interest Rate to but not including the next Payment Date.

(a)                                 Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and 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 by Borrower or Guarantor, then Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, 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, then the sum payable by Borrower or Guarantor 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) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(f)                                   Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.2.3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

23


 

the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority:  First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, to any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents.  If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.

2.3.3                     Defeasance.

 

(a)                                 Conditions to Defeasance.  Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower shall have the right after the Release Date and prior to the Permitted Open Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the entire amount of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage by providing the Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance Event”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

documentation).  Additionally, Borrower shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Successor Borrower, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.  If required by any of the Rating Agencies, in connection with a transfer of the Defeasance Collateral to the Successor Borrower, Borrower shall, as a condition to such defeasance, deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies.  Upon such assumption, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the Security Agreement other than those obligations which are specifically intended to survive the termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Agreement or the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder and Guarantor shall be released from any further liability under the Guaranty, provided that Guarantor shall remain liable for any acts, events or conditions that first arise or occur prior to the date of such assumption by Successor Borrower.

 

(d)                                 Appointment as Attorney in Fact.  Upon the defeasance of the Loan in accordance with clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.3.3, Borrower shall have no further right to prepay the Note pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.3.3 or otherwise prior to the Permitted Open Prepayment Date.  In connection with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3.3, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of purchasing the Defeasance Collateral with funds provided by Borrower.  Borrower shall pay any and all expenses incurred in the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible Taxes or any other Tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this Section 2.3.3.

 

2.3.4                     Optional Prepayments.  From and after the Permitted Open Prepayment Date, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole (but not in part), provided that Borrower gives Lender at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof.  If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not including, the next Payment Date.  Any such prepayment shall be made without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.

 

2.4                               Release of Property.

 

2.4.1                     Release on Defeasance.  If Borrower has elected to defease the Note and the requirements of Section 2.3.3 above and this Section 2.4 have been satisfied, (a) the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note and (b) Borrower shall be released from all obligations under the Loan Documents arising from and after the Defeasance Date other than those which expressly survive the repayment of the Loan (and Guarantor shall be released from any further liability under the Guaranty, provided that Guarantor shall remain liable for any acts, events or conditions that first arise or occur prior to the Defeasance Date).  In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender.  Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate

 

27


 

certifying that such documentation (a) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (b) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrower shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs, Taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.  Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from Defeasance Collateral be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations under the Loan Documents, including payment in full of the unpaid Principal as of the Permitted Open Prepayment Date.

 

2.4.2                     Release on Payment in Full.  Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released.  In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of repayment (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender.  Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (a) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (b) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrower shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs, Taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

2.5.2                     Computations.  Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

 

2.5.3                     Late Payment Charge.  If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due (other than the payment of Principal on the Maturity Date, including any acceleration of the Maturity Date),  (except to the extent sufficient funds to pay the same have been deposited into the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account to pay the same on the date due and Lender or Servicer

 

28


 

fails, in bad faith, to pay the same), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

 

3.                                      CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES

 

3.1                               Cash Management Arrangements.  Borrower shall at all times cause all Rents to be transmitted directly into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Borrower or Manager receive any Rents (other than amounts disbursed to Borrower in accordance with this Article 3), then (a) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Loan and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (b) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (c) Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts into the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt.  Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Cash Management Bank controlled by Lender (the “Cash Management Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement.  Funds in the Cash Management Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments.  Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”).  The Cash Management Account and any Subaccounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom.  Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

 

3.2                               Intentionally Omitted.

 

3.3                               Property Taxes.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) $290,000.00 on the date hereof on account of Real Estate Taxes, and (b) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Real Estate Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next twelve (12) months (initially $72,000.00 per month) in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Real Estate Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates.  Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax Subaccount”).  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (i) apply funds in the Tax Subaccount to payments of Real Estate Taxes required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Real Estate Taxes due, or (ii) if Borrower or Overstock, pursuant to the Overstock Lease, has paid such Real Estate Taxes, reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Real Estate Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof.  Lender will, if Lender pays such Real Estate Taxes, endeavor to provide Borrower with proof of payment of such Real Estate Taxes.  In making any payment relating to Real Estate Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the

 

29


 

validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.  If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Real Estate Taxes next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax Subaccount.

 

3.4                               Insurance.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) $170,000.00 on the date hereof on account of Insurance Premiums and (b) on each Payment Date one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable (initially $14,500.00 per month) for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies.  Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Insurance Subaccount”).  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (i) apply funds in the Insurance Subaccount to payments of Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Insurance Premiums due, or (ii) if Borrower or Overstock has paid such Insurance Premiums, reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment.  In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate.  If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Insurance Subaccount.

 

3.5                               Capital Expense Reserves.  To the extent the Overstock Lease is no longer in effect, and Overstock no longer occupies the Property, then under such circumstances, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date, an amount initially equal to $4,930.09.  Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Capital Expense Reserve Subaccount”).  Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess and increase the amount of the monthly payment required under this Section 3.5 from time to time in its reasonable discretion (based upon its then current underwriting standards) ; provided, however, that Lender shall only increase the amount of such monthly contributions if such Capital Expenses are not paid or required to be paid by Overstock pursuant to the Overstock Lease and Lender reasonably determines that such increase is necessary to address unanticipated material changes after the date hereof in the anticipated Capital Expenses for the Property (in which event such reassessment shall be limited to address only such issues) and any increase shall be based on an amount which is not greater than amounts necessary to pay such Capital Expenses when such Capital Expenses are estimated to be incurred.  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Expense Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000 provided that:  (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii)  Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, or such Approved Capital Expenses have been paid by Overstock pursuant to the Overstock Lease, (2) that all of

 

30


 

Borrower’s outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses (or such previously identified Approved Capital Expenses were paid by Overstock pursuant to the Overstock Lease), and (B) lien waivers (which may be conditioned on payment) or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender unless the requested disbursement shall be used to pay for such Approved Capital Expense directly (and not reimburse Borrower or Overstock for the Approved Capital Expense previously paid for by Borrower or Overstock), in which case Borrower shall be required to deliver such items with respect to the Approved Capital Expense which was the subject of the previous disbursement and conditional lien waivers with respect to the requested items to be paid for from the requested disbursement, (C) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender and (D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.  Any such disbursement of more than $25,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by direct check payable to the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.

 

3.6                               Rollover Reserves.

 

3.6.1                     Rollover Reserve.

 

(a)                                 To the extent the Overstock Lease is no longer in effect, and Overstock no longer occupies the Property, then under such circumstances, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount initially equal to $19,715.00 on each Payment Date.  Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “Rollover Reserve Subaccount”).  Other than as set forth in Section 3.6.2 with respect to Lease Termination Payments from any Lease Sweep Tenant, Borrower shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount all Lease Termination Payments received by Borrower.  If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount will be insufficient to pay the amounts due or to become due for Approved Leasing Expenses, Lender may increase the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Rollover Reserve Subaccount; provided, however, that Lender shall only increase the amount of such monthly contributions if the Overstock Lease has been terminated or if Lender reasonably determines that such increase is necessary to address unanticipated material changes after the date hereof in the anticipated tenant improvement costs and brokerage commissions for the Property (in which event such reassessment shall be limited to address only such issues) and any increase shall be based on an amount which is not greater than amounts necessary to pay such additional commercially reasonable expenses as estimated by Lender in its reasonable discretion taking into account amounts deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount and, if applicable, the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount.

 

(b)                                 Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000, provided that:  (i) such disbursement is for an

(c)                                  Any Lease Termination Payments and any other funds deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount from the Security Deposit Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof shall be applied, at Lender’s election, towards either (i) subject to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease, rent arrearages under such Lease (or to cure any other tenant default under such Lease), (ii) debt service shortfalls that may arise as a result of a termination of such Lease (and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse to itself any such amounts without any request therefor by Borrower) or (iii) funding any Approved Leasing Expenses (or Approved Lease Sweep Lease Leasing Expenses, if applicable) which are anticipated to occur in connection with the re-tenanting of the space under the Lease that was the subject of such termination (in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.6.1(b) hereof, or Section 3.6.2 hereof, if applicable).

 

3.6.2                     Special Rollover Reserve.

 

(a)                                 On each Payment Date occurring during the continuance of a Lease Sweep Period (provided that no Cash Sweep Period is then continuing other than a Cash Sweep Period triggered solely as a result of a Lease Sweep Period), all Available Cash (or such portion of Available Cash that shall be allocated by Lender for deposit into the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof) shall be paid to Lender.  Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount”).  Borrower shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount any Lease Termination Payments received from any Lease Sweep Tenant.  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000, provided that:  (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Lease Sweep Lease Leasing Expense or Approved Leasing Expense (as the case may be); (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work in excess of $500,000 associated with such Approved Lease Sweep Lease Leasing Expense or Approved

(b)                                 Provided no Default or Event of Default is continuing, upon the termination of the subject Lease Sweep Period, and Lender’s receipt of satisfactory evidence that all Approved Lease Sweep Lease Leasing Expenses or Approved Leasing Expenses (as the case may be) incurred in connection therewith (and any other expenses in connection with the re-tenanting of the applicable space) have been paid in full (which evidence may include (i) a letter or certification from the applicable broker, if any, that all brokerage commissions payable in connection therewith have been paid and (ii) an estoppel certificate executed by each applicable tenant which certifies that all contingencies under such Lease to the payment of full rent (including Borrower’s contribution to the cost of any tenant improvement work) have been satisfied), any funds (if any) remaining in the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount that have been deposited therein as a result of such Lease Sweep Period shall, provided that no other Lease Sweep Period shall then be continuing, be disbursed to Borrower; provided, however, (A) if a Cash Sweep Period is then continuing, then no such funds shall be disbursed to Borrower, and all such funds shall instead be deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount, to be applied in accordance with Section 3.10 hereof and (B) if a Lease Sweep Period is then continuing (provided no Cash Sweep Period is then continuing other than a Cash Sweep Period triggered solely as a result of another Lease Sweep Period), then no such funds shall be disbursed to Borrower, and all such funds shall remain in the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount, to be applied in accordance with this Section 3.6.2.

 

3.7                               Intentionally Omitted.

 

3.8                               Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount.  Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof.  All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof.

 

3.9                               Security Deposits.  Borrower shall keep and hold all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower.  Upon the occurrence and

 

33


 

during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases.  Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease.  Any funds in the Security Deposit Subaccount which Borrower is permitted to retain pursuant to the applicable provisions of any Lease shall be transferred by Lender into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, to be applied and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof.  Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (a) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (b) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).

 

3.10                        Cash Collateral Subaccount.  If a Cash Sweep Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Sweep Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Cash Sweep Period has commenced and is continuing solely because a Lease Sweep Period has commenced and is continuing, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to allocate any funds in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount to be applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.6.2 hereof.  Any funds in the Cash Collateral Subaccount and not previously disbursed or applied shall, upon the termination of such Cash Sweep Period, be applied and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.12 hereof.  Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to apply all or any portion of the sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto).

 

3.11                        Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds.  As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, and all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management System Accounts”).  Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (a) payment of such Rents to Lender or (b) deposit of such Rents into the Cash Management System Account.  Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management System Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.  Upon

 

34


 

the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management System Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents.  Cash Management System Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.  All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management System Account (other than the Tax Subaccount and the Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued.  The amount of funds on deposit in each Subaccount as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 13 attached hereto.  Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

 

3.12                        Property Cash Flow Allocation.

 

(a)                                 All Rents deposited into the Cash Management Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:

(iii)                               Third, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Cash Management Bank in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement;

 

(iv)                              Fourth, to Lender to pay the Monthly Interest Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.12(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);

 

(v)                                 Fifth, to make payments into the Capital Expense Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.5 hereof;

(viii)                        Seventh, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount and any then-current Approved Additional Operating Expenses shall be disbursed to Borrower (or to an account designated by Borrower);

 

(ix)                              Eighth, if the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, to make payments in the amount of the Monthly Mezzanine Loan Debt

 

35


 

Service Payment into the subordinate deposit account established under the Mezzanine Loan;

 

(x)                                 Ninth, during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period triggered solely a result of a Lease Sweep Period (and provided that a Cash Sweep Period is not continuing for any other reason), to make payments in an amount equal to the amount of Available Cash on such Payment Date as determined by Lender pursuant to this Section 3.12 into the Special Rollover Reserve Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.6.2 hereof;

 

(xi)                              Tenth, during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.10 hereof; and

 

(xii)                           Lastly, so long as no Cash Sweep Period is continuing, (A) if the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, all Available Cash shall be deposited into the subordinate deposit account established under the Mezzanine Loan and (B) if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full payments to Borrower of any remaining amounts which Borrower may hold or distribute free and clear of the Lien of the Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 3.12(a) hereof in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Clearing Account or the Cash Management Account for such payments, the failure by the Cash Management Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and/or the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as to any clause or provision contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and/or the Mezzanine Loan Documents to the effect that payments, distributions, or other similar effect are to be made by or on behalf of Borrower to Mezzanine Lender or applied to the Mezzanine Loan, such clause or provision shall be deemed to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, that Lender shall pay to Borrower, and Borrower shall then immediately distribute to Mezzanine Borrower, its sole member, pursuant to and in accordance with the organizational documents of Borrower and applicable law, any such amounts, which distribution shall be immediately payable to Mezzanine Lender, and any such clause or provision shall not be construed as meaning that Borrower is acting on behalf of, holding out its credit for, or paying the obligations of, Mezzanine Borrower, directly or in any other manner that would violate any of the special purpose entity covenants contained in the Loan Agreement or other similar covenants contained in Borrower’s organizational documents.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.12 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Cash Management Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply

 

36


 

any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

4.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 attached hereto with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:

 

4.1                               Organization; Special Purpose.

 

(a)                                 Each of Borrower and Sole Member is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged.  Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and in each other jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations.

 

(b)                                 Borrower has at all times since its formation been, and as of the date hereof is, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

 

4.2                               Proceedings; Enforceability.  Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under the Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrower or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

 

4.3                               No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which Borrower is subject, or conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower’s property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s property.  Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the

 

37


 

Management Agreement will not be materially adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgage, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender in accordance with applicable law.  Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of, or compliance by Borrower with, the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.4                               Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Sole Member, Guarantor, Manager or the Property, in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.5                               Agreements.  Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower is not in default, and has not received notice of any event or condition that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a default, in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound, and to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no defaults under any such agreement by any other party thereto.

 

4.6                               Title.  Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances.  All transfer Taxes, deed stamps, intangible Taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith.  The Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s interest in the real property and fixtures identified therein and (b) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), to the extent such a security interest can be perfected by the filing of UCC Financing Statements, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances.  All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including the Mortgage, have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith.  All Taxes and governmental assessments due and owing in respect of the Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established hereunder or are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.  The Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, do not (i) materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage and this Agreement, (ii) materially and adversely affect

 

38


 

the value, operation or use of the Property, taken as a whole, or (iii) impair Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan.  No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property.  There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien on the Property.  There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property.  To Borrower’s knowledge, the Survey does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto.  All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property, except those which are set forth on the Survey and insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.  Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property.  There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor to Borrower’s knowledge are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

 

4.7                               No Bankruptcy Filing.  None of Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor.  In addition, neither Borrower nor Sole Member, nor Guarantor, has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.

 

4.8                               Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact presently known to Borrower necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which matierally adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All historical financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein.  Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for Taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement.  Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

4.9                               Tax Filings.  To the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Tax returns required to

 

39


 

be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower.  Borrower’s Tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and Taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

 

4.10                        ERISA; No Plan Assets.  As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (a) neither Borrower, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate are themselves an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code, (b) none of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified in operation by Section 3(42) of ERISA, (c) neither Borrower nor Guarantor are or will be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) transactions by or with Borrower or Guarantor are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.  As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors or contributes to or has any obligation with respect to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).  Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has engaged in any transaction in connection with which it could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of Section 502 of ERISA or a material Tax imposed under the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code.

 

4.11                        Compliance.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Property (including the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking, building and applicable zoning and land use laws, codes, regulations and ordinances).  Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower has not committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause Borrower to forfeit the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  The Property is used exclusively for office and commercial uses and other appurtenant and related uses.  In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits.  No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property.  Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of Borrower for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property for its current use (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect.  The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.

4.13                        Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act; Bank Holding Company.  No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document.  Borrower is not (a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (b) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.  Borrower is not a “bank holding company” or a direct or indirect subsidiary of a “bank holding company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and Regulation Y thereunder of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

4.14                        Easements; Utilities and Public Access.  All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder.  The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses.  All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property as an office building are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid irrevocable easement.  All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

5.12.1     Management Agreement.

 

(a)           As of the date hereof, Borrower has not engaged any manager to manage the Property and pays no property management fee to any manager.  In the event that Borrower enters into a Management Agreement with a Manager, Manager and Borrower shall, as a

 

53


 

condition of Lender’s consent, execute a subordination of the Management Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall:  (a) cause the Property to be managed pursuant to the Management Agreement; (b) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder; (c) promptly notify Lender of any default under the Management Agreement beyond all applicable notice and cure periods of which it is aware; (d) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, and property improvement plan and any other notice, report and estimate received by Borrower under the Management Agreement; and (e) promptly enforce in a commercially reasonable manner the performance and observance of all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement.  If Borrower shall default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting Lender’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed.  Without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not:  (i) enter into, surrender, terminate, cancel, extend or renew the Management Agreement or otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement (except pursuant to Section 5.12.2 hereof); (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend in any material respect, or waive or release any of its material rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement; or (v) suffer or permit the occurrence and continuance of a default by Borrower beyond any applicable cure period under the Management Agreement (or any successor management agreement) if such default permits Manager to terminate the Management Agreement (or such successor management agreement).

 

(b)           Lender acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, there is no Management Agreement in place between Borrower and a third party for the management of the Property.  In the event the Overstock Lease is terminated, Borrower acknowledges that Lender reserves the right to require Borrower to employ an affiliate or third party manager to manage the Property after the date hereof.  In the event that the Borrower should ever elect to employ an affiliate or third party management company for the management of the Property, the Borrower agrees (A) that such management company must be approved by Lender and any rating agency subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the Management Agreement shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Lender, which approval may be granted or denied in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, (B) that such management company shall not receive a management fee greater than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of Rents, and (C) to execute (and to cause such management company to execute) a Manager Consent.

 

5.12.2     Termination of Manager.  If Borrower has entered into a Property Management Agreement and:  (a) an Event of Default shall be continuing; (b) Manager is in default under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods

 

54


 

therein; (d) Manager shall become a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or (e) upon the gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct of Manager with respect to the Property, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager with a replacement manager acceptable to Lender and, if a Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender and, if a Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies.  Borrower’s failure to appoint an acceptable manager within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request of Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.  Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the Property, provided that such successor manager and Management Agreement shall be approved in writing by Lender and, if a Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies (and Lender’s approval may be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter if the Loan, by itself or together with other loans, has been the subject of a Secondary Market Transaction, and if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement from and after the occurrence of a Secondary Market Transaction).  If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of Lender’s consent, execute a consent and subordination of management agreement substantially in the form of the Manager Consent.  In addition, if any new manager is an Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new substantive non-consolidation opinion letter in which Borrower is “paired” with such new manager.

 

5.13        Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.  Borrower shall at all times be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.  Borrower shall not directly or indirectly make any change, amendment or modification to its organizational documents, or otherwise take any action which could result in Borrower not being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.  A “Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity” shall have the meaning set forth on Schedule 5 hereto.

 

5.14        Assumption in Non-Consolidation Opinion.  Borrower shall conduct its business so that the assumptions of fact (with respect to Borrower and its Affiliates) made in that certain substantive non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof delivered by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan and material to such counsel’s opinion, shall be true and correct in all respects to the extent specified in such opinion letter.

 

5.15        Change in Business or Operation of Property.  Borrower shall not purchase or own any real property other than the Property and shall not enter into any line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present business or otherwise cease to operate the Property as an office property or terminate such business for any reason whatsoever (other than temporary cessation in connection with renovations to the Property) or cessation as a result of a casualty or Condemnation or as a result of an event of force majeure.

 

5.16        Debt Cancellation.  Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.

 

55


 

5.17        Affiliate Transactions.  Except with respect to the Overstock Lease, Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the direct or indirect legal or beneficial owners of Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if the terms are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

 

5.18        Zoning.  Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender.

 

5.19        No Joint Assessment.  Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property and (b) with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any Taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property.

 

5.20        Principal Place of Business.  Borrower shall not change its principal place of business or chief executive office from the address set forth in Section 6.1 hereof without first giving Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

 

5.21        Change of Name, Identity or Structure.  Borrower shall not change its name, identity (including its trade name or names) or Borrower’s corporate, partnership or other structure without notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, which consent, may be conditioned upon receipt of an updated substantive non-consolidation opinion (if Lender reasonably determines that the same is necessary as a result of Borrower’s new structure).  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein.  At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property.

 

5.22        Indebtedness.  Borrower shall not directly or indirectly create, incur or assume any indebtedness other than (a) the Debt, and (b) unsecured trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business relating to the ownership and operation of the Property, which in the case of such unsecured trade payables (i) are not evidenced by a note, (ii) do not exceed, at any time, a maximum aggregate amount of one percent (1%) of the original amount of the Principal and the original principal of the Mezzanine Loan, in the aggregate and (iii) are paid within thirty (30) days of the date incurred (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”).

5.23.3     Website.  Any website maintained by Borrower with respect to the Property (other than tenant websites) shall be maintained by or on behalf of Borrower and any such website shall be registered in the name of Borrower.  Borrower shall not Transfer any such website without Lender’s prior consent.

 

5.24        Compliance with Restrictive Covenants.  Borrower shall at all times comply in all material respects with all Operations Agreements.  Borrower will not enter into, modify, waive in any material respect or release any Easements, Operations Agreements or other Permitted Encumbrances, or suffer, consent to or permit the foregoing, without Lender’s prior written consent.

 

5.25        ERISA.

 

(a)           Neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender or any assignee of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

 

(b)           Borrower’s and Guarantor’s covenant in clause (a) above is based on the assumption that no portion of the assets used by Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitutes assets of a “benefit plan investor” as defined in Section 3(42) of ERISA and with respect to which Borrower or Guarantor is a party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a disqualified person (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) unless the conditions of an available prohibited transaction exemption are satisfied.

 

(c)           Neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall maintain, sponsor, contribute to or become obligated to contribute to, or suffer or permit any ERISA Affiliate to, maintain, sponsor, contribute to or become obligated to contribute to, any Plan or any Welfare Plan or permit the assets of Borrower or Guarantor to become “plan assets,” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.

(d)           Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the Term, as requested by Lender, that:  (i) neither Borrower nor Guarantor is or maintains an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of

 

57


 

Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) neither Borrower nor Guarantor is subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) neither the assets of Borrower nor Guarantor constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.

69

(b)           Any funds distributed to Borrower for the payment of Approved Additional Operating Expenses (including any distribution to Borrower pursuant to Section 3.12(a)(viii)) shall be used by Borrower only to pay for Approved Additional Operating Expenses or reimburse Borrower for Approved Additional Operating Expenses, as applicable.

 

6.3.8       Breach.  If Borrower fails to provide to Lender or its designee any of the financial statements, certificates, reports or information (the “Required Records”) required by this Article 6 within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such Required Record is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, at Lender’s option and in its discretion (and without limiting any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder), an amount equal to (i) $1,000 with respect to the first instance a Required Record is not delivered, (ii) $2,000 with respect to the second instance a Required Record is not delivered, and (iii) thereafter, $2,500 for each Required Record that is not delivered; provided Lender has given Borrower at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of such failure.  In addition, thirty (30) days after Borrower’s failure to deliver any Required Records, Lender shall have the option (and without limiting any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder), upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower to gain access to Borrower’s books and records and prepare, or have prepared at Borrower’s expense, any Required Records not delivered by Borrower.

shall provide the required notice to Lender, (iii) that such policy shall not contain any provision that would make the Lender liable for any premiums and commissions, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order to effect continuation of coverage if the policy will be cancelled due to non-payment of premium and (iv) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (f) in the event any property insurance policy shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (ii) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (g) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds and complete copies thereof delivered to Lender.  In the event of foreclosure or other transfer of title, Borrower agrees that all proceeds payable thereunder pertaining to the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.  Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender a complete copy of each Policy within thirty (30) days after its effective date.  Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.  Lender agrees that the Policies may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that (A) such policy otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein this Section 7.1, (B) Lender shall be satisfied by evidence required by Lender that the blanket policy provides the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (C) Borrower shall, upon written request of Lender, provide Lender with a complete schedule of locations and values for properties associated with such blanket policy (any such blanket policy that satisfies the foregoing conditions, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).

 

7.1.3       Overstock Insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, Borrower may rely on Overstock maintaining all or a portion of the insurance coverage required by this Section to the extent (i) the Overstock Lease is in full force and effect and no default has occurred thereunder, (ii) Overstock has provided third-party insurance which satisfies the provisions of this Section, (iii) the Overstock Lease provides it will remain in full force and effect following a Casualty or to the extent such Overstock Lease is terminated following any Casualty, the applicable insurance proceeds will be deposited with Borrower and/or Lender, (iv) (A) Lender is named as a mortgagee and a loss payee, as required pursuant to this Section, on Overstock’s

 

74


 

property policies and as additional insured on Overstock’s general liability and umbrella liability coverages required pursuant to this Section, and (B) Borrower is named as an additional named insured on each of the property, general liability and umbrella liability Policies maintained by Overstock, and (v) Borrower shall have provided to Lender no less frequently than annually prior to renewal of such coverage maintained by Overstock evidence satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion that Overstock maintains insurance in accordance with this Section.  For purposes of clarification, if the conditions above are not satisfied, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly procure and maintain either (x) “primary” insurance coverage in the event that Overstock, under the Overstock Lease does not provide the applicable insurance coverage required herein this Section or (y) “excess and contingent” insurance coverage, in the event that Overstock under the Overstock Lease does not have sufficient insurance coverage to meet the requirements in this Section, in each case, over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then in existence, as shall be necessary to bring the insurance coverage for the Property into full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section.  In evaluating the sufficiency of all insurance provided with respect to the requirements of this Section, whether such insurance is provided by Borrower or Overstock, Lender (or the loan servicer) shall have the discretion, but not the obligation, to allow that Borrower only maintain “excess and contingent” insurance coverage over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then-in existence.

 

7.2          Casualty.

 

7.2.1       Notice; Restoration.  If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender.  Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.

 

7.2.2       Settlement of Proceeds.  If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender, provided that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”).  In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds the Restoration Threshold (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its reasonable discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith.  If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender.  The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a

 

75


 

property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.

 

7.3          Condemnation.

 

7.3.1       Notice; Restoration.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or written threat of the commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.  Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is sufficent, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be as nearly as possible restored to the same condition that existed prior to such Condemnation.

 

7.3.2       Collection of Award.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation; provided that, with respect to any Condemnation where the Award is less than the Restoration Threshold, so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower may make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the Interest Rate.  If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt.  Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender.  Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

7.4          Application of Proceeds or Award.

 

7.4.1       Application to Restoration.  If an Insured Casualty or a Condemnation occurs where:

 

(a)           the loss is in an aggregate amount less than fifteen percent (15%) of the original Principal;

 

76


 

(b)           in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date, and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt;

 

(c)           less than (i) thirty percent (30%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (ii) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation;

 

(d)           Leases demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and

 

(e)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing,

 

then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein.  Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecuted, such Restoration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (i) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance, provided, if such Restoration is being paid by Overstock, no such deposit will be required) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents (inclusive of amounts paid for rental loss) will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Lender.

 

7.4.2       Application to Debt.

 

(a)           Except as provided in Section 7.4.1 hereof, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender, be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3 hereof.  Any prepayment of the Loan made pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the

 

77


 

unpaid Principal.  Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Lender elects to make a prepayment from the Proceeds or Award, Borrower may, within one hundred twenty (120) days of Lender’s election to so make such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, upon prior written notice to Lender, prepay the entire remaining principal balance of the Loan without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or any other fee, payment or penalty and without being required to defease the Loan; provided, however, that together with such prepayment, Borrower shall also pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined by Lender by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts:  (i) the net Award (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender); (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release; or (iii) an amount such that the loan-to-value ratio of the Loan (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage.  If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award, if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.4.  Additionally, if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 7.4.2(b), an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be payable.

 

7.4.3       Procedure for Application to Restoration.  If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time and on a work in progress basis from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (a) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (b) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (c) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (d) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve, and (e) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work.  Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a Construction Consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement.  No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or

 

78


 

Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.  Provided no Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account as if Rents and disbursed pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof.  Provided no Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be retained by Lender and promptly applied to payment of the Debt (e.g., no such funds will be permitted to be held in escrow or otherwise retained by lender without being applied to the Loan) or returned to Borrower.

 

8.                                      DEFAULTS

 

8.1          Events of Default.  An “Event of Default” shall exist with respect to the Loan if any of the following shall occur:

 

(a)           any portion of the Debt is not paid when due or Borrower shall fail to pay when due any payment required under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, or 3.10 hereof; provided, however, if, during a Cash Sweep Period, adequate funds are available in the Cash Management Account or Clearing Account for any payments pursuant to Section 3.12(a) hereof, or Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6 hereof, and Lender is otherwise obligated to (and has the right to) apply such amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Account to payment pursuant to Section 3.12(a) hereof or to the appropriate Subaccounts, the failure by Cash Management Bank to allocate such funds for such payment pursuant to Section 3.12(a) hereof or into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder;

(c)           the Policies are (i) not kept in full force and effect (unless, with respect to Insurance Premiums, Lender is paying such Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, sufficient funds are in the Insurance Subaccount to make such payment, Lender is otherwise obligated to (and has the right to) pay for such Insurance Premiums, and Lender has failed to make such payments) or (ii) not delivered to Lender upon request;

 

(d)           a Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer occurs;

 

(e)           any certification, representation or warranty made by Borrower or Guarantor herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument, agreement or document furnished by Borrower or Guarantor in connection

(g)           a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor; or Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; or any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor, as the case may be; or any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor shall be instituted; provided, however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor, as the case may be, only upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days;

 

(h)           Borrower breaches any covenant contained in (i) Sections 5.12.1(i) through (v), 5.15, 5.22, 5.25, 5.27 or 5.28 hereof, or (ii) Section 5.13 hereof (provided, however, with respect to a breach of any covenant in Section 5.13 hereof, such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if such breach (A) was inadvertent, immaterial and non-recurring and (B) is curable and Borrower promptly cures same within ten (10) Business Days after the earlier to occur of (x) the discovery of such breach by Borrower or (y) receipt of notice from Lender);

 

(i)            except as expressly permitted hereunder, the alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of all or any portion of the Improvements without the prior written consent of Lender;

(k)           a default occurs under any term, covenant or provision set forth herein or in any other Loan Document which specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period and such notice has been given and such grace period has expired;

 

(l)            any of the assumptions contained in any substantive non-consolidation opinion, delivered to Lender by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan or otherwise hereunder, were not true and correct in any material respect as of the date of such opinion or thereafter became untrue or incorrect in any material respect;

 

(m)          Guarantor breaches any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 6 of the Guaranty;

 

(n)           a breach by any Mezzanine Borrower of the “special purpose entity” covenants contained the applicable Mezzanine Loan Documents; or

 

80


 

(o)           a default shall be continuing under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document not otherwise specified in this Section 8.1, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower (and Guarantor, if applicable) from Lender, in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, and Borrower (or Guarantor, if applicable) shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30)-day period shall be extended for an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower (or Guarantor, if applicable) in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days.

 

8.2          Remedies.

 

8.2.1       Acceleration.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g) hereof), in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g) hereof, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

8.2.2       Remedies Cumulative.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (b) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be

 

81


 

construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof.

 

8.2.3       Severance.

 

(a)           During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage in a manner permitted by applicable law then due and payable as determined by Lender, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of Principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments; or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

 

(b)           During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided any such obligations shall not materially increase Borrower’s obligations nor materially decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance in accordance with the provisions hereof, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

 

8.2.4       Delay.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management System Accounts or any other collateral.

 

8.2.5       Lender’s Right to Perform.  If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but

 

82


 

shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

 

9.                                      SECONDARY MARKET PROVISIONS

 

9.1          Sale of Note and Secondary Market Transaction.

(b)           In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Lender and otherwise assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Secondary Market Transactions, including:  (i) to (A) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, Guarantor, Manager and, to the extent Borrower has rights or access thereto, any tenants of the Property, including, without limitation, the information set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, (B) provide business plans, budgets and rent rolls (including itemized percentages of floor area occupied and percentage of aggregate base rent for each tenant) relating to the Property and (C) perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, surveys, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Lender or, if applicable, the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to Lender pursuant to this clause (i) being called the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of and/or consents to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies; (ii) cause counsel to render opinions as to non-consolidation and any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies; (iii) make updated, as of the closing date of any Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in such transactions and as may be reasonably requested by Lender or, if applicable, the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such

(c)           Any information requested in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for a Securitization, shall be furnished to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender.

 

(d)           If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following Lender’s request therefor, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by the Lender. All other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.

 

(e)           If requested by Lender, whether in connection with a Securitization or at any time thereafter during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, a list of tenants (including all affiliates of such tenants) that in the aggregate (1) occupy 10% or more (but less than 20%) of the total floor area of the improvements or represent 10% or more (but less than 20%) of aggregate base rent, and (2) occupy 20% or more of the total floor area of the improvements or represent 20% or more of aggregate base.

 

9.1.2       Use of Information.

 

(a)           Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction.  If the Disclosure Document is required to be revised, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in updating the Provided Information or Required Records for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Manager and the Property necessary to

 

84


 

keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.  Borrower understands that the findings and conclusions of any third-party due diligence report obtained by the Lender, the Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.

 

(b)           In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender shall have the right, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, to disclose any and all information in Lender’s possession regarding Borrower, any Guarantor, any Manager, the Property and/or the Loan in any Disclosure Document, in any promotional or marketing materials that are prepared by or on behalf of Lender in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction or in connection with any oral or written presentation made by or on behalf of Lender, including without limitation, to any actual or potential investors and any Rating Agencies and other NRSROs.

 

9.1.3       Borrower’s Obligations Regarding Disclosure Documents.  In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, the Property, Manager and the Loan, and that, as to factual matters related to Borrower, the Property, Manager or Loan, such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact known to Borrower necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender (and for all purposes of this Section 9.1, Lender shall include LoanCore, its Affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective officers and directors) and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer’s directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within clause (iii), the “Lender Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact related to Borrower, the Property or Guarantor contained in any of the Provided Information which Borrower has reviewed and approved or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Manager, Guarantor, the Property or the Loan, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact related to Borrower, Guarantor or the Property and known to Borrower         required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 4.8 of this Agreement (Full and Accurate Disclosure); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any Liabilities relating to untrue

 

85


 

statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrower’s examination of such Disclosure Document or for any projections, illegal acts, fraud or intentional misrepresentations made by the Lender Group, the Issuer, and/or the Underwriter Group or for any information which Borrower has not received.  Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities.  This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 9.1.3.  Within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s written request, Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a separate indemnification and reimbursement agreement in favor of the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group in form and substance consistent with the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.1.3.

 

9.1.4       Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings.  In connection with filings under the Exchange Act or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower shall (a) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the actual omission to state in the Provided Information of a material fact known to Borrower required to be stated in the Provided Information, which was provided to and approved by Borrower, in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, relating to Borrower, Guarantor and the Property and which has been provided to Borrower for review, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (b) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender, Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities which are incurred as a result of the actual omission to state in the Provided Information of a material fact known to Borrower required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, relating to Borrower, Guarantor and the Property and which has been provided to Borrower for review, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except, in each case, arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, or intentional misrepresentations of the Lender, Lender Group or Underwriter Group.

 

9.1.5       Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.1.3 or Section 9.1.4 hereof of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower.  If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its reasonable discretion.  After notice from Borrower to

 

86


 

such indemnified party under this Section 9.1.5, Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower and an indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.  Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not Borrower is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.

 

9.1.6       Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.1.3 or Section 9.1.4 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.1.3 or Section 9.1.4 hereof, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered:  (a) the Lender Group’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (b) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (c) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

9.1.7       Survival.  The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

9.2          Severance of Loan.  Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided.  Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (a) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (b) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (c) create multiple components of the Note (and allocate or reallocate the principal

 

87


 

balance of the Loan among such components), (d) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case described in clauses (a) through (d) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (e) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created notes or components of the Note such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such note(s) (or components thereof) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Interest Rate immediately prior to such modification (provided, however, that it is agreed that partial prepayments of principal, including resulting from a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment may cause the weighted average Interest Rate to change over time due to the non-pro rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, participations or counterparts).  If requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within two (2) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.  At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations.  Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.2 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.2, it shall become immediately effective.

 

9.3          Costs and Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Sections 9.1 or 9.2 (excluding the indemnity obligations set forth in each such section) in excess of $10,000, other than fees and expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel, accountants and consultants.

 

10.                               MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1        Exculpation.  Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender.  The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan

Document, (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage, (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder, (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver, (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the Property or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):

(b)           Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Comfort Letter is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates in writing or otherwise to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Comfort Letter will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “Review Waiver”), then the Rating Comfort Letter requirement with respect to such Rating Agency shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such matter.  It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Comfort Letter is required.

 

93


 

(c)           Prior to a Securitization or in the event that there is a Review Waiver, if Lender does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then the term Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed instead to require the prior written consent of Lender.

(b)           ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK AND BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT CT CORPORATION SYSTEMS AT 111 EIGHTH AVENUE, 13TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10005, AS ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT TO RECEIVE AND FORWARD ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK,

 

94


 

AND BORROWER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON SAID AGENT AT SAID ADDRESS AND WRITTEN NOTICE OF SAID SERVICE OF BORROWER MAILED OR DELIVERED TO BORROWER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER (UNLESS LOCAL LAW REQUIRES ANOTHER METHOD OF SERVICE), IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  BORROWER (i) SHALL GIVE PROMPT NOTICE TO LENDER OF ANY CHANGED ADDRESS OF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT HEREUNDER, (ii) MAY AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME DESIGNATE A SUBSTITUTE AUTHORIZED AGENT WITH AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK (WHICH SUBSTITUTE AGENT AND OFFICE SHALL BE DESIGNATED AS THE PERSON AND ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS), AND (iii) SHALL PROMPTLY DESIGNATE SUCH A SUBSTITUTE IF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT CEASES TO HAVE AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR IS DISSOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING A SUCCESSOR.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OR FORECLOSURE OF ANY LIEN ON ANY COLLATERAL FOR THE LOAN IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN ANY JURISDICTION(S) THAT LENDER MAY ELECT IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, AND BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

 

10.7        Modification, Waiver in Writing.  No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.  In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.  Lender shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that Lender is entitled to under the Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

10.8        Trial by Jury.  BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION

 

95


 

THEREWITH.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.

 

10.9        Headings/Schedules.  The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.  The Schedules attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

10.10      Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.11      Preferences.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.  This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

 

10.12      Waiver of Notice.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

10.13      Remedies of Borrower.  If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.  Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s

 

96


 

behalf.  Additionally, and without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

10.14      Prior Agreements.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

10.15      Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

10.16      Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Lender Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.  Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.

 

10.17      No Usury.  Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents.  If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the

 

97


 

maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

 

10.18      Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.  Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

10.19      No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under the Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)           The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

 

10.20      Yield Maintenance Premium.  Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs.  For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Article 2 and Article 7 hereof, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to imply that the Loan may be voluntarily prepaid in any manner or under any circumstance other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.  Such

 

98


 

Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale.  Borrower further acknowledges that:  (i) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (ii) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (iii) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (iv) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions.  Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

 

10.21      Assignments and Participations.  In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person.  Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects.  Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

10.22      Intentionally Omitted.

 

10.23      Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

10.24      Joint and Several Liability.  If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

10.25      Creation of Security Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any

 

99


 

Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

10.26      Certain Additional Rights of Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

(a)           the right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.  Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times;

 

(b)           the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;

 

(c)           the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;

 

(d)           the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding;

 

(e)           the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;

 

(f)            the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property ); and

 

(g)           the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.

 

The rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender.  The provisions of this Section are intended to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.

 

10.27      Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by

 

100


 

applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower.  Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

10.28      Certain Payments from Mezzanine Lender.  Lender has advised Borrower that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, Mezzanine Lender may be required in certain circumstances to turn over to Lender certain payments received by Mezzanine Lender from Mezzanine Borrower or from Guarantor.  If Mezzanine Lender turns over any such payments to Lender, then, (a) upon notice to Borrower of any such turn over and the amount thereof, the amount of such payments shall be deemed to have been contributed as a capital contribution from Mezzanine Borrower to Borrower and then paid by Borrower to Lender on account of the Loan, and (b) Lender shall apply such amount as an optional prepayment in accordance with the Section 2.3.3 hereof.

 

10.29      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

10.30      Negation of Implied Right to Cure Events of Default.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents providing that certain rights, remedies or privileges are only available to Lender during the “continuance” of an Event of Default (or words of similar import), Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that it does not have the right to cure an Event of Default once the same has occurred under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender has delivered Borrower written notice of such Event of Default, in each case without the consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld, delayed or denied by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

10.31      Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 

(i)            the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

 

101


 

(ii)           the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

 

(A)          a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 

(B)          a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

 

(C)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

(b)           As used in this Section 10.31 the following terms have the following meanings ascribed thereto:

(iii)          “EEA Financial Institution” means (A) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority; (B) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (A) of this definition, or (C) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (A) or (B) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent;

 

(iv)          “EEA Member Country” means any of the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway;

 

(v)           “EEA Resolution Authority” means any public administrative authority or any person entrusted with public administrative authority of any EEA Member Country (including any delegee) having responsibility for the resolution of any EEA Financial Institution;

10.32      Registered Obligations.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Note is, and any other promissory notes issued under the Loan Documents shall be, registered as to both principal and any stated interest.

 

(b)           If Lender sells a participation interest in the Loan, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

(c)           Lender or its designee, acting for this purpose solely as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of each Lender, the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due it hereunder (any such amount a “Borrower Obligation”) and whether such Lender is the original Lender or an assignee pursuant to an assignment under Section 10.21.  The Register shall be made available for inspection by Borrower or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of any Borrower Obligation held by such holder, as indicated in the Register, for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.                                      GENERAL LOAN TERMS

 

2.1          The Loan.  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender is making a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower on the date hereof, in the original principal amount of $13,000,000.00, which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date.  Borrower acknowledges receipt of the Loan which proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose.  Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and no amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.  The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.2          Interest; Monthly Payments.

 

2.2.1       Generally.

 

(a)           From and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be due and payable as hereinafter provided.

 

(b)           On April 6, 2020 and each Payment Date thereafter through and including February 6, 2030, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal accrued at the Interest Rate during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date (collectively, the “Monthly Interest Payment Amount”).

 

(c)           All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal at the Interest Rate to but not including the next Payment Date.

 

2.2.2       Default Rate.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such underlying Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

17


 

2.2.3       Taxes.

 

(a)           Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and 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 by Borrower or Guarantor, then Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, 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, then the sum payable by Borrower or Guarantor 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) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

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

 

(c)           Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall deliver to Lender 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 Lender.

 

(e)           If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, if reasonably requested by Borrower, Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

 

18


 

(f)            Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.2.3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

2.2.4       New Payment Date.  Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date not earlier than the sixth (6th) day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date:  (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest payments, except that the first payment of principal and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall change the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.

 

2.3          Prepayment.  The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without payment of any prepayment premium, penalty or yield maintenance costs.

 

2.4          Release of Collateral.  Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release the Liens of the Pledge and other Security Documents if not theretofore released.  In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of repayment (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender.  Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (a) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (b) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrower shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs, Taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Pledge, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

2.5          Payments and Computations.

 

2.5.1       Making of Payments.  Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice (which notice may be sent by email) to Borrower.  Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter (notwithstanding such adjustment of due dates, Borrower shall not be entitled to any deduction of interest due under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents).  All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.

 

19


 

2.5.2       Computations.  Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

 

2.5.3       Late Payment Charge.  If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due (other than the payment due on the Maturity Date (including any acceleration of the Maturity Date)) (except to the extent sufficient funds to pay the same have been deposited into the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account to pay the same on the date due and Lender or Servicer fails, in bad faith, to pay the same), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

 

3.                                      CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES

 

3.1          Cash Management Arrangements.  Borrower shall cause Owner to cause all Rents to be deposited and applied in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents.  All funds deposited by the Deposit Bank into the Mezzanine Account shall be deemed to be a distribution from Owner to Borrower and shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement.  The Mezzanine Account and all subaccounts established by Lender therein (which may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”).  The Mezzanine Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom.  Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.  If, at any time during the Term, Senior Lender is not requiring Owner to comply with the cash management arrangements set forth in Section 3.1 of the Senior Loan Agreement, the Clearing Account Agreement and the Senior Cash Management Agreement (or the Senior Loan has been refinanced or otherwise repaid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), then Lender shall have the right, at its option, to require such cash management arrangements, substantially in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing.

 

3.2          Reserves.  If, at any time during the Term, Senior Lender is not requiring Owner to make the required deposits required under Article 3 of the Senior Loan Agreement (or the Senior Loan has been refinanced or otherwise repaid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), including pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 of the Senior Loan Agreement, then Lender shall have the right, at its option, to require Borrower to make such required deposits to Lender, in which case such deposits shall be made by Borrower and held in Subaccounts and disbursed by Lender substantially in accordance with the provisions of such applicable sections of the Senior Loan Agreement (including Section 3.12(a) of the Senior Loan Agreement governing priority and order of application).

 

3.3          Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds.  As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all payments to or monies held in the Mezzanine Account and all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement

 

20


 

(collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”).  Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Security Documents or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents.  Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.  All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued.  Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

 

3.4          Cash Flow Allocation.

 

(a)           All amounts deposited into the Mezzanine Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:

 

(i)            First, to Lender to pay the interest due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.4(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);

 

(ii)           Second, to Lender, for purposes of funding any reserves, if required under Section 3.2;

 

(iii)          Third, for so long as the Loan shall remain outstanding, to Lender, all remaining amounts to Lender to be applied toward the repayment in full of the Principal; and

 

(iv)          Lastly, to the extent the Loan has been paid in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, payments to Borrower of any remaining amounts.

 

(b)           The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) and (ii) Section 3.4(a) hereof in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Clearing Account (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement), the Cash Management Account or the Mezzanine Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and/or the Senior Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as to any clause or provision contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, including the Senior Cash Management Agreement, and/or the Senior Loan Documents to the effect that payments, distributions, or other similar effect are to be made by or on behalf of

 

21


 

Borrower to Senior Lender or applied to the Senior Loan, such clause or provision shall be deemed to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, that Lender shall pay to Borrower, and Borrower shall then immediately contribute to Owner pursuant to and in accordance with the organizational documents of Borrower and applicable law, which contribution shall be immediately payable to Senior Lender, and any such clause or provision shall not be construed as meaning that Borrower is acting on behalf of, holding out its credit for, or paying the obligations of, Owner, directly or in any other manner that would violate any of the special purpose entity covenants contained in the Loan Agreement or other similar covenants contained in Borrower’s organizational documents.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.4 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all amounts deposited into the Mezzanine Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

4.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 1 attached hereto with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:

 

4.1          Organization; Special Purpose.

 

(a)           Each of Borrower, Owner and Sole Member is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged.  Each of Borrower, Owner and Sole Member is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations.

 

(b)           Each of Borrower, and Owner has at all times since its formation been, and as of the date hereof is, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

 

4.2          Proceedings; Enforceability.  Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under the Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense

 

22


 

of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrower or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

 

4.3          No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which Borrower is subject, or conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or  imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower or Owner pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Owner is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or Owner or any of their respective properties.  Owner’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be materially adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender in accordance with applicable law.  Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of, or compliance by Borrower with, the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.4          Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Owner, Guarantor, Manager or the Property, in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.5          Agreements.  Neither Borrower nor Owner is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Borrower nor Owner is in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Borrower nor Owner is in default, or has received notice of any event or condition that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a default, in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Owner is a party or by which Borrower, Owner, the Collateral or the Property is bound, and to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no defaults under any such agreement by any other party thereto.

 

4.6          Title.  Owner has good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances.  All transfer Taxes, deed stamps, intangible Taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Owner have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith.  The Pledge, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create a valid, perfected first priority lien on

 

23


 

Borrower’s interest in the Pledged Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof.  All Taxes and governmental assessments due and owing in respect of the Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established under the Senior Loan Agreement or are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.  The Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, do not (i) materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge and this Agreement, (ii) materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property taken as a whole, or (iii) materially impair Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan.  No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property.  There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien on the Property.  There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property.  To Borrower’s knowledge, the Survey does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto.  All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property, except those which are set forth on the Survey and insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.  Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property.  There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

 

4.7          No Bankruptcy Filing.  None of Owner, Borrower nor Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower, Owner or Guarantor.  In addition, neither Borrower, Owner nor Guarantor  has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.

 

4.8          Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact presently known to Borrower necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which materially adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All historical financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, Guarantor, Owner, the Collateral and the Property (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor, Owner and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein.  Neither Borrower nor Owner has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for Taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments,

 

24


 

unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement and the Senior Loan Agreement.  Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Guarantor, Owner and the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

4.9          Tax Filings.  To the extent required, Borrower and Owner have filed (or have obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and Owner.  Borrower’s and Owner’s Tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and Taxes of Borrower and Owner for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

 

4.10        ERISA; No Plan Assets.  As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (a) neither Borrower, Owner, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate are themselves an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code, (b) none of the assets of Borrower, Owner or Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified in operation by Section 3(42) of ERISA, (c) neither Borrower, Owner nor Guarantor are or will be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) transactions by or with Borrower, Guarantor or Owner are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.  As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, Guarantor nor Owner nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors or contributes to or has any obligation with respect to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).  Neither Borrower, Guarantor nor Owner has engaged in any transaction in connection with which it could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of Section 502 of ERISA or a material Tax imposed under the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code.

 

4.11        Compliance.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower, Owner and the Property (including the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking, building and applicable zoning and land use laws, codes, regulations and ordinances).  Neither Borrower nor Owner is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Borrower nor Owner has committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause Borrower or Owner to forfeit the Collateral or the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  The Property is used exclusively for office and commercial use and other appurtenant and related uses.  In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits.  No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with

 

25


 

respect to the zoning of the Property.  Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property.  All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of Owner for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property for its current use (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect.  The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.

4.13        Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act; Bank Holding Company.  No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document.  Borrower is not (a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (b) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.  Borrower is not a “bank holding company” or a direct or indirect subsidiary of a “bank holding company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and Regulation Y thereunder of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

4.14        Easements; Utilities and Public Access.  All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder.  The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses.  All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property as an office property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid irrevocable easement.  All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

4.17        Fraudulent Transfer.  Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities.  The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will be, greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower).

5.8.1       Hazardous Substances.  So long as Owner owns or is in possession of the Property, Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to) (i) keep the Property free from Hazardous Substances and in compliance with all Environmental Laws (except those typically used in properties similar to the Property, provided the same are used, held and stored in accordance with Environmental Laws and those identified in the Environmental Report and in compliance with the Institutional Controls and Restrictions), (ii) promptly notify Lender if Borrower shall become aware that (A) any Hazardous Substance is on or near the Property (except those identified in the Environmental Report and in compliance with the Institutional Controls and Restrictions), (B) the Property is in violation of any Environmental Laws or (C) any condition on or near the Property shall pose a threat to the health, safety or welfare of humans and (iii) remove such Hazardous Substances (except those identified in the Environmental Report and in compliance with the Institutional Controls and Restrictions) and/or cure such violations and/or remove such threats, as applicable, as required by law (or as shall be required by Lender in the case of removal which is not required by law, but in response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified environmental consulting firm engaged by Lender (“Lender’s Consultant”)), promptly after Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrower’s sole expense.  Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or cure.

 

5.8.2       Environmental Monitoring.

35

(b)           If an Event of Default exists of if Lender reasonably believes that Hazardous Materials exist on the Property in violation of Environmental Laws (excluding those disclosed in the Institutional Controls and Restrictions), Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to) provide an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified environmental consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property, and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if Lender in its good faith judgment determines that reasonable cause exists for the performance of such environmental inspection or audit, then the actual, out of pocket cost and expense of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrower.  Such inspections and audit may include soil borings and ground water monitoring.  If Borrower (or Owner) fails to provide any such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit, provided, any such inspection or audit shall comply with the Institutional Controls and Restrictions.

 

(c)           If any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Substance, whether such Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by Owner, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrower shall cause (or shall cause Owner to cause) such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at its expense, and with respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to) take all action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property.  If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law (“Remedial Work”), Borrower shall commence (or shall cause Owner to commence) all such Remedial Work within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the same and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work within such period of time as may be required under applicable law.  All Remedial Work shall be performed by licensed contractors approved in advance by Lender and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender.  All costs of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower, including Lender’s out-of-pocket reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.  If Borrower does

 

36


 

not (or does not cause Owner to) timely commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed at Borrower’s expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to commence (or cause Owner to commence) such Remedial Work within the above specified time period: (i) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (ii) if commencing such Remedial Work within such time period would result in Borrower or Owner or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law or the Institutional Controls and Restrictions, or (iii) if Borrower or Owner, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work.  Owner shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (A) Owner is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (B) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Owner fails to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if Owner fails to prevail in such contest, Borrower or Owner would thereafter have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (C) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower or Owner has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (D) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower or Owner has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (D) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (D) Borrower or Owner shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s or Owner’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no event more than 125% of the cost of such Remedial Work as estimated by Lender or Lender’s Consultant and any loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s or Owner’s failure to prevail in such contest (provided, however, that no such security will be required if Owner has provided adequate security for the same to Senior Lender in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents).

 

(d)           Borrower shall not install or permit to be installed on the Property any underground storage tank.

 

5.8.3       O & M Program.  In the event any environmental report delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan recommends the development of or continued compliance with an operation and maintenance program for the Property (including with respect to the presence of asbestos and/or lead-based paint) (“O & M Program”), Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to) develop (or continue to comply with, as the case may be) such O & M Program and shall, during the term of the Loan, including any extension or renewal thereof, comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the O & M Program.

 

5.9          Title to the Pledged Collateral.  Borrower will warrant and defend the title to the Collateral (and shall cause Owner to warrant and defend the title to the Property), and the validity and priority of all Liens granted or otherwise given to Lender under the Loan Documents, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, against the claims of all Persons not claiming under Permitted Encumbrances.

5.10.2     Material Leases.

 

(a)           Borrower shall not permit Owner to enter into a proposed Material Lease or a proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease (other than confirmatory amendments entered into to confirm the occurrence of an event contemplated by the Material Lease or a unilateral tenant extension rights) without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Prior to seeking Lender’s consent to any Material Lease, Borrower shall deliver (or cause Owner to deliver) to Lender a copy of such proposed lease (a “Proposed Material Lease”), together with any information reasonably requested by Lender relating to the proposed tenant and lease guarantor (if applicable), including any credit and background checks performed by Owner relating to such tenant and lease guarantor.  Lender shall approve or disapprove each Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease for which Lender’s approval is required under this Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days of the submission by Borrower to Lender of a written request for such approval, accompanied by a final copy of the Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease.  If requested by Borrower, Lender will grant conditional approvals of Proposed Material Leases or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Material Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional material terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved by Lender in connection with such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease.

38


 

extension shall be for a period in excess of an additional ten (10) Business Days.  Borrower shall be required to provide Lender, upon Lender’s request, with such material information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, including lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender to reach a decision.  In order to be effective for the purposes of triggering the time periods set forth above for Lender to respond, all requests by Borrower must contain the aforementioned information together with a written notice sent in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof to Lender marked “PRIORITY” and shall conspicuously state in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14) point bold type “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.10.2 OF THE MEZZANINE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS IS BORROWER’S FIRST NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE LEASE HEREIN PROVIDED.  IF LENDER DOES NOT DECLINE APPROVAL IN WRITING OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL REASONABLE INFORMATION IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER SUCH LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED” and if Lender has failed to so respond by the tenth (10th) Business Day, Borrower shall send a second notice also marked “PRIORITY” and conspicuously stating in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14) point bold type “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.10.2 OF THE MEZZANINE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS IS BORROWER’S SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE LEASE HEREIN PROVIDED.  IF LENDER DOES NOT DECLINE APPROVAL IN WRITING OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL REASONABLE INFORMATION IN WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER SUCH LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED.”

5.12        Property Management.

 

5.12.1     Management Agreement.

 

(a)           As of the date hereof, Owner has not engaged any manager to manage the Property and pays no property management fee to any manager.  In the event that Owner enters into a Management Agreement with a Manager, Manager and Owner shall, as a condition of Lender’s consent, execute a subordination of the Management Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall:  (a) cause Owner to cause the Property to be managed pursuant to the Management Agreement; (b) cause Owner to promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder; (c) promptly notify (or cause Owner to notify) Lender of any default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (d) promptly deliver (or cause Owner to deliver) to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, and property improvement plan and any other notice, report and estimate

 

40


 

received by Owner under the Management Agreement; and (e) cause Owner to promptly enforce in a commercially reasonable manner the performance and observance of all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement.  If Owner shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Owner to be performed or observed beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, then, without limiting Lender’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Owner to be performed or observed.  Without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not permit Owner to: (i) surrender, terminate, cancel, extend or renew the Management Agreement or otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement (except pursuant to Section 5.12.2 hereof); (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend in any material respect, or waive or release any of its material rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement; or (v) suffer or permit the occurrence and continuance of a default beyond any applicable cure period under the Management Agreement (or any successor management agreement) if such default permits Manager to terminate the Management Agreement (or such successor management agreement).

 

(b)           Lender acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, there is no Management Agreement in place between Owner and a third party for the management of the Property.  In the event the Overstock Lease is terminated, Borrower acknowledges that Lender reserves the right to require Owner to employ an affiliate or third party manager to manage the Property after the date hereof.  In the event that the Owner should ever elect to employ an affiliate or third party management company for the management of the Property, the Borrower agrees (A) that such management company must be approved by Lender and any rating agency subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the Management Agreement shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Lender, which approval may be granted or denied in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, (B) that such management company shall not receive a management fee greater than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of Rents, and (C) to execute (and to cause such management company to execute) a Manager Consent in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents.

 

5.12.2     Termination of Manager.  If Owner has entered into a Property Management Agreement and:  (a) an Event of Default shall be continuing; (b) Manager is in default under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods; (c) Manager shall become a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or (d) upon the gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct of Manager with respect to the Property, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender (subject, however, to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents), cause Owner to terminate the Management Agreement, and, subject to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, replace Manager with a replacement manager acceptable to Lender and, if a Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender and, if a Securitization has

 

41


 

occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies.  Borrower’s failure to cause Owner to appoint an acceptable manager within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request of Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.  Borrower may from time to time cause Owner to appoint a successor manager to manage the Property, provided that such successor manager and Management Agreement shall be approved in writing by Lender and, if a Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies (and Lender’s approval may be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter if the Loan, by itself or together with other loans, has been the subject of a Secondary Market Transaction, and if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement from and after the occurrence of a Secondary Market Transaction).  If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of Lender’s consent, execute a consent of management agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (subject to the rights of the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents).

 

5.13        Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.  Each of Borrower and Owner shall at all times be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.  Neither Borrower nor Owner shall directly or indirectly make any change, amendment or modification to Borrower’s or Owner’s organizational documents, or otherwise take any action which could result in Borrower or Owner not being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.  A “Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity” shall have the meaning set forth on Schedule 4 hereto.

 

5.14        Assumption in Non-Consolidation Opinion.  Borrower shall conduct its business so that the assumptions of fact (with respect to Borrower) made in that certain substantive non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof delivered by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan and material to such counsel’s opinion, shall be true and correct in all respects to the extent specified in such opinion letter.

 

5.15        Change in Business or Operation of Property.  Borrower shall not enter into any line of business other than the ownership of Owner.  Borrower shall not permit Owner to purchase or own any real property other than the Property or to enter into any line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present business or otherwise cease to operate the Property as an office property or terminate such business for any reason whatsoever (other than temporary cessation in connection with renovations to the Property) or cessation as a result of a casualty or Condemnation or a result of an event of force majeure.

 

5.16        Debt Cancellation.  Except for the lease for space at the Property, Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release (or allow Owner to cancel or otherwise forgive or release) any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower (or Owner) by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s (or Owner’s) business.

 

5.17        Affiliate Transactions.  Except with respect to the Overstock Lease (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement), Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or Owner or any of the direct or indirect legal or beneficial owners of Borrower or Owner without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be

 

42


 

unreasonably withheld if the terms are no less favorable to Borrower or Owner or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

 

5.18        Zoning.  Borrower shall not initiate or consent to (or permit Owner to initiate or consent to) any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender.

 

5.19        No Joint Assessment.  Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate (or permit Owner to suffer, permit or initiate) the joint assessment of the Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property and (b) with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any Taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property.

 

5.20        Principal Place of Business.  Borrower shall not (and shall not permit Owner to) change its principal place of business or chief executive office from the address set forth in Section 6.1 hereof without first giving Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

 

5.21        Change of Name, Identity or Structure.  Borrower shall not (and shall not permit Owner to) change its name, identity (including its trade name or names) or Borrower’s or Owner’s corporate, partnership or other structure without notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s or Owner’s structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, which consent, may be conditioned upon receipt of an updated substantive non-consolidation opinion (if Lender reasonably determines that the same is necessary as a result of Borrower’s new structure).  Borrower shall (and shall cause Owner to) execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein.  At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Owner intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Owner does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property.

59


 

such notice shall also be provided to the extent available; however, if not available, Borrower shall provide the required notice to Lender, (iii) that such policy shall not contain any provision that would make the Lender liable for any premiums and commissions, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order to effect continuation of coverage if the policy will be cancelled due to non-payment of premium and (iv) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (f) in the event any property insurance policy shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (ii) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (g) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds and complete copies thereof delivered to Lender.  In the event of foreclosure or other transfer of title, Borrower agrees that all proceeds payable thereunder pertaining to the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.  Borrower shall cause Owner to pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Senior Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Senior Loan Agreement) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate.  Borrower shall deliver (or cause Owner to deliver) to Lender a complete copy of each Policy within thirty (30) days after its effective date.  Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain (or cause Owner to obtain) such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.  Lender agrees that the Policies may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that (A) such policy otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein this Section 7.1, (B) Lender shall be satisfied by evidence required by Lender that the blanket policy provides the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (C) Borrower shall, upon written request of Lender, provide Lender with a complete schedule of locations and values for properties associated with such blanket policy (any such blanket policy that satisfies the foregoing conditions, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).

 

7.1.3       Overstock Insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, Borrower may rely on Overstock maintaining all or a portion of the insurance coverage required by this Section to the extent (i) the Overstock Lease is in full force and effect and no default has occurred thereunder, (ii) Overstock has provided third-party insurance which satisfies the provisions of this Section, (iii) the Overstock Lease provides it will remain in full force and effect following a Casualty or to the extent such Overstock Lease is terminated following any Casualty, the

 

60


 

applicable insurance proceeds will be deposited with Borrower and/or Lender, (iv) (A) Lender is named as a mortgagee and a loss payee, as required pursuant to this Section, on Overstock’s property policies and as additional insured on Overstock’s general liability and umbrella liability coverages required pursuant to this Section, and (B) Borrower is named as an additional named insured on each of the property, general liability and umbrella liability Policies maintained by Overstock, and (v) Borrower shall have provided to Lender no less frequently than annually prior to renewal of such coverage maintained by Overstock evidence satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion that Overstock maintains insurance in accordance with this Section.  For purposes of clarification, if the conditions above are not satisfied, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly procure and maintain either (x) “primary” insurance coverage in the event that Overstock, under the Overstock Lease does not provide the applicable insurance coverage required herein this Section or (y) “excess and contingent” insurance coverage, in the event that Overstock under the Overstock Lease does not have sufficient insurance coverage to meet the requirements in this Section, in each case, over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then in existence, as shall be necessary to bring the insurance coverage for the Property into full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section.  In evaluating the sufficiency of all insurance provided with respect to the requirements of this Section, whether such insurance is provided by Borrower or Overstock, Lender (or the loan servicer) shall have the discretion, but not the obligation, to allow that Borrower only maintain “excess and contingent” insurance coverage over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then-in existence.

 

7.2          Casualty.

 

7.2.1       Notice; Restoration.  If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender.  Following the occurrence of a Casualty, subject to the requirements of the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild (or shall cause Owner to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild) the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.  Concurrently with the delivery to Senior Lender of any of the items required under Section 7.4.3 of the Senior Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration by Owner, Borrower shall cause such items to be concurrently delivered to Lender for Lender’s prior approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

7.2.2       Settlement of Proceeds.  If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may cause Owner to settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender provided that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to permit Owner to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”).  In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds the Restoration Threshold (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its reasonable discretion but subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower or Owner and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall, if required by Senior Lender, be due and payable solely to Senior Lender and

 

61


 

held by Senior Lender in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement.  If Borrower, Owner or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse (or shall cause Owner to endorse), and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender, subject to the rights of Senior Lender.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender.   The actual, out of pocket reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

 

7.3          Condemnation.

 

7.3.1       Notice; Restoration.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or written threat of the commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.  Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild (or cause Owner to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild) the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be as nearly as possible restored to the same condition that existed prior to such Condemnation.

 

7.3.2       Collection of Award.  Subject to the rights of Senior Lender, Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power on behalf of Owner to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation; provided that, with respect to any Condemnation where the Award is less than the Restoration Threshold, so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower may make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the Interest Rate.  If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, subject to the rights of Senior Lender and whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt.  Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower pursuant to Owner’s operating agreement to be paid directly to Lender, to be applied as provided in this Agreement, subject to the rights of the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.  The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

 

7.4          Application of Proceeds or Award.  If, pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, Owner is ever entitled to receive any portion of any Proceeds or Awards (i.e., such

 

62


 

amounts are not required to be used for Restoration or to be applied to repayment of the Senior Loan), Borrower shall cause such portion of such Proceeds or Award to be deposited into the Mezzanine Account and all such amounts shall then be applied to the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.3.2.

8.2          Remedies.

 

8.2.1       Acceleration.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g) hereof), in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g) hereof, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

8.2.2       Remedies Cumulative.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (b) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral, the Pledge and other Security Documents have been

 

65


 

foreclosed, the Collateral has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all or less than all of the Collateral, in its discretion.

 

8.2.3       Severance.

 

(a)           During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Pledge in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge then due and payable as determined by Lender, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of Principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments; or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge to secure payment of the sums secured by the Pledge and not previously recovered.

 

(b)           During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledge and security agreements and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided any such modifications shall not materially increase Borrower’s obligations nor decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance in accordance with the provisions hereof, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

 

8.2.4       Delay.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Collateral to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or less than all of any portion of such Collateral.

 

8.2.5       Lender’s Right to Perform.  If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue beyond all applicable notice and

 

66


 

cure periods, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

 

9.                                      SENIOR LOAN

 

9.1          Compliance with Senior Loan Documents.  Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to):  (a) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Owner under and pursuant to the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Senior Lender; (c) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Senior Lender to Owner or Borrower of any default by Owner in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice; (d) deliver a true, correct and complete copy of all notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Owner or Guarantor to or from the Senior Lender or its agent; and (e) not enter into or be bound by any Senior Loan Documents that are not approved by Lender (except for amendments which Borrower is required to execute in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Owner to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents.  In the event of a refinancing of the Senior Loan permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Borrower will cause all reserves on deposit with Senior Lender to be utilized by Owner to reduce the amount due and payable to the Senior Lender or alternatively shall be remitted to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan.

 

9.2          Senior Loan Defaults.

 

(a)           Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation:  (i) to pay all or any part of the Senior Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Owner as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral.  All sums so paid and the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 9.2 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid Principal, (iii) shall bear

 

67


 

interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (iv) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (v) shall be secured by the Pledge.

 

(b)           Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions, except to the extent arising out of Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or illegal acts.  Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Sole Member, Owner or any other party to make any such payment or performance.  Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Owner to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Senior Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Senior Loan.

 

(c)           Any default or breach by Owner under the Senior Loan Documents which is not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to Owner under the Senior Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender.  Borrower hereby grants Lender and any person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or the assertion by Senior Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Senior Loan Documents, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrower’s, Owner’s and/or Lender’s interest.  Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Senior Lender with respect to any Senior Loan defaults), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower.  Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.

 

(d)           If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Senior Loan Documents sent by Senior Lender to Owner, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon.  As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 9.2, except for Lender’s gross negligence, bad faith, illegal acts or willful misconduct.  In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Senior Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.

 

9.3          Senior Loan Estoppels.  Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to), from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Senior Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Owner with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  In the event or to the extent that Senior Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally

 

68


 

obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower  furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Owner expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by Owner with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Senior Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Owner.

 

9.4          No Amendments to Senior Loan Documents.  Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Owner to (i) enter into any amendment or modification of any of the Senior Loan Documents (except as may be required by the Senior Loan), or (ii) grant to Senior Lender any consent or waiver.  Borrower shall cause Owner to provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification to the Senior Loan Documents within five days after the execution thereof.

 

9.5          Acquisition of the Senior Loan.  Neither Borrower, Sole Member or Owner or any Affiliate of any of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Senior Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Senior Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.  If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Sole Member or Owner or any Affiliate of any of them shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower:  (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Senior Loan Documents:  (A) not to enforce the Senior Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly:  (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Senior Loan, (2) re-convey and release the lien securing the Senior Loan and any other collateral under the Senior Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Senior Loan Documents.

 

9.6          Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure.  Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Owner to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Senior Lender or any of its affiliates.  Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Owner to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Senior Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or Borrower, the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or of Owner in the Property or portion thereof or any interest therein.

 

9.7          Refinancing or Prepayment of the Senior Loan.  Neither Borrower, nor Sole Member nor Owner shall make any voluntary partial or full prepayments of amounts owing

 

69


 

under the Senior Loan or refinance the Senior Loan without the prior written consent of Lender, unless such refinancing results in the concurrent payment in full of the Debt.

 

9.8          Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any intercreditor agreement entered into between Lender and Senior Lender (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Senior Lender, and that Borrower and Owner shall not be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, shall have no rights thereunder and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein.  Lender and Senior Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

 

10.                               SECONDARY MARKET PROVISIONS

 

10.1        Sale of Note and Secondary Market Transaction.

70


 

Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; (iv) provide current certificates of good standing and qualification with respect to Borrower and Sole Member from appropriate Governmental Authorities; and (v) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents, as may be requested by Lender or, if applicable, the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect a Secondary Market Transaction, provided that nothing contained in this clause (v) shall result in a material economic change in the transaction at any time during the Term nor materially increase Borrower’s obligations nor decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.  Borrower’s cooperation obligations set forth herein shall continue until the Loan has been paid in full.

 

10.1.2     Use of Information.  Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction.  If the Disclosure Document is required to be revised, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in updating the Provided Information or Required Records for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Owner, Manager, the Collateral and the Property necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.

 

10.1.3     Borrower Obligations Regarding Disclosure Documents.  In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall:  (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, Owner, the Collateral, the Property, Manager and the Loan, and that, as to factual matters related to Borrower, the Property or the Loan, such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact known to Borrower necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender (and for purposes of this Section 10.1, Lender shall include LoanCore, its Affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective officers and directors) and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer’s directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within clause (iii), the “Lender Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing

 

71


 

all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact related to Borrower, the Property or Guarantor contained in any of the Provided Information which Borrower has reviewed and approved or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Owner, Manager, Guarantor, the Collateral, the Property or the Loan, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact related to Borrower, Guarantor or the Property and known by Borrower required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections which have been reviewed and approved by Borrower in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any Liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrower’s examination of such Disclosure Document or for any projections, illegal acts, fraud or intentional misrepresentations made by the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group or for any information which Borrower has not received.

 

10.1.4     Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings.  In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower shall (a) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the actual omission to state in the Provided Information, which was provided to and approved by Borrower, a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information related to Borrower, Owner, Guarantor or the Property, and which has been provided to Borrower for review, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (b) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender, Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities which are incurred as a result of the actual omission to state in the Provided Information, which was provided to and approved by Borrower, of a material fact known to Borrower required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except, in each case, arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, or intentional misrepresentations of the Lender, Lender Group or Underwriter Group.

 

10.1.5     Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.1.3 above or Section 10.1.4 above of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower.  If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its reasonable discretion.  After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party under this Section 10.1.5, Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in

 

72


 

connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower and an indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.  Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not Borrower is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.

 

10.1.6     Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 10.1.3 above or Section 10.1.4 above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 10.1.3 above or Section 10.1.4 above, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered:  (a) the Lender Group’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (b) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (c) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

10.1.7     Survival.  The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

10.2        Severance of Loan.  Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided.  Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (a) cause the Note and the Pledge to be split into a first and second loan, (b) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (c) create multiple components of the Note (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), (d) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior

mezzanine loan/junior mezzanine loan structure), in each such case described in clauses (a) through (d) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (e) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created notes or components of the Note such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such note(s) (or components thereof) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Interest Rate immediately prior to such modification (provided, however, that it is agreed that partial prepayments of principal, including resulting from a Liquidation Event may cause the weighted average Interest Rate to change over time due to the non-pro rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, participations or counterparts).  If requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within two (2) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.  At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations.  Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 10.2 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 10.2, it shall become immediately effective.

 

10.3        Costs and Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Sections 10.1 or 10.2 hereof (excluding the indemnity obligations set forth in each such section) in excess of $10,000, other than fees and expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel, accountants and consultants.

11.17      No Usury.  Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 11.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents.  If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

 

11.18      Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.  Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the

 

84


 

ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

11.19      No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under the Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)           The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

 

11.20      Intentionally Omitted.

 

11.21      Assignments and Participations.  In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person.  Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects.  Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

11.22      Intentionally Omitted.

 

11.23      Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

85


 

11.24      Joint and Several Liability.  If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

11.25      Creation of Security Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

11.26      Proofs of Claim.  In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, Owner, Sole Member or Guarantor, or any of their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire Debt at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower hereunder after such date.

 

11.27      Waiver of Stay.  Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the Debt or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

11.28      Certain Additional Rights of Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

(a)           the right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower or Owner, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.  Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times;

 

(b)           the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower or Owner at any time upon reasonable notice;

 

(c)           the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;

 

86


 

(d)           the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained with respect to the Collateral so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding;

 

(e)           the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s or Owner’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower or Owner from the Rents;

 

(f)            the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower or Owner of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property or the Collateral); and

 

(g)           the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.

 

The rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender.  The provisions of this Section are intended to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29 C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101.

 

11.29      Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower.  Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

11.30      Certain Payments From Lender.  Lender has advised Borrower that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, Lender may be required in certain circumstances to turn over to Senior Lender certain payments received by Lender from Borrower or from Guarantor (or out of the Collateral).  If Lender turns over any such payments to Senior Lender, then, (a) upon notice to Borrower of any such turn over and the amount thereof, the amount of such payments shall be deemed to have been contributed as a capital contribution from Borrower to Owner and then paid by Owner to Senior Lender on account of the Senior Loan, (b) Senior Lender shall apply such amount as an optional prepayment in accordance with the Section 2.3.3of the Senior Loan Agreement and (c) amounts owing by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be computed as if such amounts had not been paid to Lender.

 

87


 

11.31      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

11.32      Negation of Implied Right to Cure Events of Default.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents providing that certain rights, remedies or privileges are only available to Lender during the “continuance” of an Event of Default (or words of similar import), Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that it does not have the right to cure an Event of Default once the same has occurred under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender has delivered Borrower written notice of such Event of Default, in each case without the consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld, delayed or denied by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

11.33      Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

5.             Unconditional Character of Obligations of Guarantor.

 

(a)           The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability, in whole or in part, of the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents or Guarantor under this Guaranty, or any setoff or counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.  Lender may enforce the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty by a proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise, independent of any loan foreclosure or similar proceeding or any deficiency action against Borrower or any other Person at any time, either before or after an action against the Property or any part thereof, Borrower or any other Person.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.  Guarantor waives diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of any other Loan Document, against Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, any right to require a proceeding first against Borrower or any other Person, or to exhaust any security (including, without limitation, the Property) for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Borrower or any other Person, or any protest, presentment, notice of default or other notice or demand whatsoever (except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary in this Guaranty).

 

(b)           The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the rights of Lender to enforce the same by proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way affected by any of the following:

 

(i)            any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Borrower, the Property or any part thereof, Guarantor or any other Person;

 

5


 

(ii)           any failure by Lender or any other Person, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any document or instrument relating thereto;

 

(iii)          except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, the sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property or any interest therein to any Person, whether now or hereafter having or acquiring an interest in the Property or any interest therein and whether or not pursuant to any foreclosure, trustee sale or similar proceeding against Borrower or the Property or any interest therein;

 

(iv)          the conveyance to Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or Lender’s nominee of the Property or any interest therein by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure;

 

(v)           the release of Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise; or

 

(vi)          the release in whole or in part of any collateral for any or all Guaranteed Obligations or for the Loan or any portion thereof.

 

(c)           Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses (excluding the defense of payment or performance) in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise.

 

(d)           Lender may deal with Borrower and Affiliates of Borrower in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Borrower or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

 

(e)           No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Loan Documents shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Document is modified with Lender’s consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications.

 

(f)            Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights, powers, and remedies under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law (including foreclosure of all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan), whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law (in any order), and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed

 

6


 

hereunder by Guarantor.  Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be non-exclusive and cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

 

(g)           No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time.

 

(h)           At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrower in connection with or based upon any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrower or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person.

 

(i)            Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

(j)            In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever Borrower or any subsequent owner of the Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including Principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii)  Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof, in each case, until all Principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full.  Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all Principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender.

(f)            Financial Statements and Other Information.  All financial statements of Guarantor heretofore delivered to Lender are true and correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of the respective dates thereof, and no materially adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective dates thereof.  None of the aforesaid financial statements or any certificate or statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact known to Guarantor necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading.  Guarantor is not insolvent within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, code or regulation and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not render Guarantor insolvent.

 

(g)           Consideration.  Guarantor is the owner, directly or indirectly, of certain legal and beneficial equity interests in Borrower.

 

4.         Financial Statements.  Guarantor shall deliver to Lender, (a) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor, a complete copy of Guarantor’s annual financial statements audited by a “big four” accounting firm or another independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, (b) within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor, financial statements (including (1) a balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter, (2) a statement of income and expense for such fiscal quarter, (3) a statement of cash flow for such fiscal quarter and (4) a statement of change in stockholders’ equity) certified by the chief financial officer of Guarantor and in form, content, level of detail and scope reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which certificate shall contain a statement that the requirements described in Section 6 have been satisfied), and (c) 20 days after request by Lender, such other financial information with respect to Guarantor as Lender may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor may satisfy the requirements of (i) Section 4(a) herein by delivering to Lender copies of the Form 10-K, and (ii) Section 4(b) herein by delivering to Lender copies of the Form 10-Q, in each case of (i) or (ii), as applicable of Guarantor within the timeframes set forth in this Section 4, so long as:  (1) Guarantor is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute or statutes thereto (the “Exchange Act”), and (2) Guarantor files its financial information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as and when

required by the Exchange Act and such financial information of Guarantor is available to the public.

 

5.         Unconditional Character of Obligations of Guarantor.

 

(a)           The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability, in whole or in part, of the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents or Guarantor under this Guaranty, or any setoff, counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.  Lender may enforce the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty by a proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise, independent of any loan foreclosure, UCC Sale or similar proceeding or any deficiency action against Borrower or any other Person at any time, either before or after an action against the Collateral or any part thereof, Borrower or any other Person.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.  Guarantor waives diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of any other Loan Document, against Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, any right to require a proceeding first against Borrower or any other Person, or to exhaust any security (including, without limitation, the Collateral) for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Borrower or any other Person, or any protest, presentment, notice of default or other notice or demand whatsoever (except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary in this Guaranty).

 

(b)           The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the rights of Lender to enforce the same by proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way affected by any of the following:

 

(i)    any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Borrower, the Collateral or any part thereof, Guarantor or any other Person;

 

(ii)   any failure by Lender or any other Person, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any document or instrument relating thereto;

 

(iii)  except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, the sale, transfer or conveyance of the Collateral or any interest therein to any Person, whether now or hereafter having or acquiring an interest in the Collateral or any interest therein and whether or not pursuant to any foreclosure, UCC Sale or similar proceeding against Borrower or the Collateral or any interest therein;

 

4


 

(iv)  the conveyance to Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or Lender’s nominee of the Collateral or any interest therein by a foreclosure, or similar proceeding pursuant to Lender’s rights under the Pledge or any other Loan Documents and the UCC (“UCC Sale”);

 

(v)   the release of Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise; or

 

(vi)  the release in whole or in part of any collateral for any or all Guaranteed Obligations or for the Loan or any portion thereof.

 

(c)           Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses (excluding the defense of payment or performance) in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise.

 

(d)           Lender may deal with Borrower and Affiliates of Borrower in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Borrower or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

 

(e)           No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Loan Documents shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Document is modified with Lender’s consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications.

 

(f)            Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by Guarantor.  Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

 

(g)           No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time.

 

5


 

(h)           At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrower in connection with or based upon any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrower or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person.

 

(i)            Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

(j)            In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever Borrower or any subsequent owner of the Collateral or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including Principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all Principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full.  Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all Principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender.

 

(k)           Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, UCC Sale or similar proceeding involving the Collateral and the exercise by Lender of any or all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents.
