The equity portion of the purchase price in the amount of approximately $11.9 million was funded as follows:

Tenancy in Common Agreement – Property Owners

 

  Property Owner 1 and Property Owner 2 have entered into a Tenancy in Common Agreement dated as of March 26, 2015 (the “Tenancy in Common Agreement”) to govern the relationship between them as tenants-in-common in the Fox Hill Property and to provide for the operation of the Fox Hill Property. Each of the tenants-in-common shall be responsible for the payment of its percentage interest of the Fox Hill Property’s expenses and shall be entitled to its percentage interest of the Fox Hill Property’s revenues.

 

  Major decisions regarding the Fox Hill Property will require the unanimous approval of the tenants-in-common. These major decisions include: (i) borrowing money or otherwise creating a security interest in the Fox Hill Property, including any refinancing, material amendment, material modification or extension of the Loan (as hereinafter defined); (ii) selling or transferring all or any portion of the Fox Hill Property; (iii) entering into any transaction with an affiliate of any tenant-in-common (other than the initial entry into the property management agreement; (iv) any acquisition or ground lease of any real property or other material asset, or entry into any agreement or making any deposit with respect thereto; (v) taking any action that would cause any of the tenants-in-common or any of their respective affiliates to have liability relative to any guaranty of the loan secured by the Fox Hill Property; (vi) approving the annual operating budget or incurring costs outside such budget; (vii) amending or terminating the Tenancy in Common Agreement or property management agreement; (viii) making any additional capital calls, except as provided in the approved operating budget; and (ix) acquiring, modifying, amending, or terminating any insurance policy with respect to the Fox Hill Property (except as provided in the approved operating budget or as may be required by any lender under a loan with respect to the Fox Hill Property).

 

  The Tenancy in Common Agreement provides that the tenants-in-common may call for additional cash contributions for any purpose in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Fox Hill Property. Each tenant-in-common will be required to deliver such tenant-in-common’s pro rata share of the additional cash called within fifteen days of the cash call. If a tenant-in-common fails to fund its share of a cash call then the other tenant-in-common may elect to fund the shortfall and treat the funds necessary to do so as a default loan to the defaulting tenant-in-common. Any such default loan will bear interest at a rate equal to 18% per annum or such lesser maximum rate as allowable by law. All cash distributions otherwise payable to a defaulting tenant-in-common shall be paid to the tenant-in-common funding a default loan until such default loan is paid in full.

Major decisions with respect to JV 2 must be unanimously approved by all members. These major decisions include: (i) a merger or sale of all assets; provided, that member consent is not required with respect to the sale of the Fox Hill Property; (ii) certain admissions or removal of members and additional equity issuances; (iii) liquidation, dissolution or termination; (iv) any material change in the strategic direction or material expansion of the business of JV 2; (v) acquiring other real property; and (vi) any amendment of the limited liability company agreement or certificate of formation of JV 2 in a manner that materially and adversely affects the interests of other members. Distributions to the members of JV 2 will be made on a pari passu basis in accordance with the members’ ownership percentages.

 

 
 

 

The Fox Hill Property

 

The Fox Hill Property is managed by Bluerock Property Management, LLC (“BPM”), an affiliate of our sponsor, pursuant to a property management agreement (the “Property Management Agreement”). The management fee is 3.0% of annual gross cash revenues, payable monthly. The Property Management Agreement provides that BPM may engage a third party approved by the Property Owners to directly manage the day-to-day operations of the Fox Hill Property. The Property Owners have approved Bell Partners, Inc., an unaffiliated entity, as third-party property manager of the Fox Hill property, and the management fee will be reallocated in full to the third-party property manager.

 

The purchase price paid for the Fox Hill Property was based on arm's length negotiations with an unaffiliated seller. In evaluating the Fox Hill Property as a potential investment, a variety of factors were considered, including overall valuation of net rental income, expected capital expenditures, submarket demographics, community features and amenities, location, price per unit and occupancy.

 

ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT

 

Loan Financing and Guaranty Obligations related to the Fox Hill Property

 

The acquisition of the Fox Hill Property was further funded with a $26.71 million senior mortgage loan (the “Loan”) made by Walker & Dunlop, LLC to the Property Owners, which Loan is secured by the Fox Hill Property and improvements. The Loan has an 84-month term, maturing on April 1, 2022. The Loan requires interest-only payments for the first 48 months of the term. During the first 60 months of the term, the Loan may be prepaid at any time with at least 30 business days prior notice and the payment of a prepayment premium equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal balance and (ii) a yield maintenance amount calculated as set forth in the loan agreement.

The Loan carries a fixed rate of 3.57% per annum.

 

In conjunction with the closing of the Loan, the Company entered into a Guaranty of Non-Recourse Obligations to provide certain standard scope non-recourse carveout guarantees of the liabilities of the Property Owners under the Loan, including environmental indemnities.

3.3 Title . No later than three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer for its review a title commitment (or preliminary title report) covering the Property issued by the Title Company (the “ Title Commitment ”). Seller has previously delivered or made available to Buyer for its review, an existing plat of survey of the Property in Seller’s possession (the “Existing Survey ”). If Buyer so elects, Buyer may order an update of the Existing Survey (the “ Updated Survey ”) at Buyer’s sole cost. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the date that is five (5) business days before the Due Diligence Expiration Date (the “ Title Review Deadline ”) for examination of the Title Commitment and the Existing Survey (or the Updated Survey if obtained by Buyer prior to the Title Review Date) and the making of any objections thereto, said objections to be made in writing (the “ Objections ”) and delivered to Seller on or before the Title Review Deadline. If Buyer shall have obtained an Updated Survey prior to the Title Review Deadline, such Updated Survey shall be the “ Survey ,” as hereinafter described; otherwise, the Existing Survey shall be the “ Survey ,” as hereinafter described . Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to the Title Commitment and the form and substance of the Survey, except only for matters expressly objected to in a written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Title Review Deadline. If any objections to the Title Commitment or Survey are properly made on or before the Title Review Deadline, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except with respect to the Mandatory Cure Items, as described below) , on or before the date that is five (5) business days after receipt of the Objections (the “ Seller Cure Date ”), to cure such Objections (by removal or by endorsement or other method reasonably acceptable to Buyer) or to agree in writing to cure same prior to Closing. If the Objections are not so cured by Seller (or agreed to be cured by Seller), or waived by Buyer, on or before the Seller Cure Date, then Buyer may, at its option, and as its sole and exclusive right and remedy, terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof delivered to Seller on or before the date (the “ Election Date ”) that is the earlier of the Due Diligence Expiration Date or five (5) days after the Seller Cure Date. If Buyer does not give such notice of termination on or before the Election Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3 and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party hereunder, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees to pay off at Closing Seller's mortgage loans encumbering the Property and any and all judgment liens, tax liens and mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens caused by, through, or under Seller, and to cause the mortgage evidencing such loans and all such liens, if any, to be removed from the Title Commitment (the “ Mandatory Cure Items ”).

3.4 New Title Matters . At any time prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right to obtain an updated Title Commitment. If, after the effective date of the most-recently updated Title Commitment new adverse matters are revealed by any update of the Title Commitment (collectively, “ New Matters ”), Buyer shall have the right to submit to Seller additional Objections, provided that such new Objections must be submitted by Buyer on or prior to the date that is the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing Date, or (b) the date that is five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of such update, as applicable. If Buyer timely notifies Seller in writing of such New Matters, Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, may, but shall have no obligation to, cure such New Matters on or prior to Closing. Seller shall be deemed to have given notice to Buyer that Seller refuses to cure any such New Matters, which Seller may so do in its sole discretion, unless Seller, within five (5) days after receipt of Objections from Buyer, shall deliver a notice indicating whether Seller will attempt to cure (whether by removal or by endorsement or other method reasonably acceptable to Buyer) or refuses to cure such New Matters. If Seller’s Notice indicates that Seller refuses to cure said New Matters (or if Seller is deemed to refuse to cure said New Matters), Buyer may (a) terminate this Agreement within two (2) business days after (i) receipt of such notice from Seller, or (ii) if no such notice is given by Seller, the date that Seller is deemed to have given notice that Seller refuses to cure such New Matters (which shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that is five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s Objections to the New Matters), and in either event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations; or (b) if Buyer fails to so terminate, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such New Matters and shall accept the Property subject thereto, in which event there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. If applicable, the Closing shall be extended to provide Seller and Buyer with the full response periods provided in this Section 3.4 .

 

3.5 Approvals Not a Condition to Buyer’s Performance Subject to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the terms of Section 3.2(b) hereof, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to perform under this Agreement is not contingent upon Buyer’s ability to obtain any (a) governmental or quasi-governmental approval of changes or modifications in use or zoning, (b) modification of any existing land use restriction, or (c) mortgage financing.

5.1 Real Estate Taxes and Assessments . Real estate taxes and special assessments shall be prorated as follows:

 

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.1 , the term “ Taxes ” shall mean (i) the real estate taxes and special assessments levied against the Property by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, plus (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller, or with Seller’s consent, of contesting the assessed valuation or otherwise protesting such taxes or assessment, minus (iii) any refunds or reduction of such taxes or assessments, which, after payment of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or reductions, shall be paid or credited to the party or parties obligated for such taxes or assessments in the same manner and proportions as otherwise provided herein.

With respect to the Taxes applicable to 2015: (i) Seller shall be obligated for a prorated portion of such Taxes from the beginning of 2015 to but excluding the Closing Date determined by multiplying the total amount of such Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the first day of such tax year to and including the day prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is 365; and (ii) Buyer shall be obligated for the balance of such Taxes determined by multiplying the total amount of such Taxes by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the Closing Date to and including the last day of 2015 and the denominator of which is 365.

 

(c) Seller shall pay all of the Taxes due and payable prior to the Closing and Buyer shall pay all of the Taxes due and payable after the Closing. To the extent that, as of the Closing Date, the amount so paid by Seller or to be paid by Buyer exceeds the amount for which such party is obligated in accordance with Paragraph (b) above, such party shall be entitled to a credit at Closing for such excess from the other party.

 

9
 
(d) To the extent that the actual amount of Taxes for 2015 to be prorated hereunder is not known at Closing, or tax contests or protests are outstanding or reasonably anticipated that may cause a reduction in Taxes, then, at Closing, Taxes for 2015 shall be prorated using one hundred percent (100%) of the Taxes on the tax bill for the Property for 2014. In such event, within ninety (90) days following receipt by Buyer (or Seller, if applicable) of the actual bill for Taxes for 2015, Seller and Buyer shall reprorate such Taxes, and if such reproration results in an adjustment to the proration calculated at Closing, the party owing the other party shall pay the amount owed within fifteen (15) days after the reproration is determined. The terms of this Section 5.1(d) shall survive the Closing.

 

5.2 Rent . All rent and other amounts paid by the tenants under the Leases (collectively, “ Rent ”), for the month of Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date based on the respective number of days of ownership of Seller and Buyer for such month; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor Seller shall receive credit at Closing for any Rent that is past due (the “ Past Due Rent ”). Following the Closing, if Buyer or Seller receives any payment from any tenant for which Past Due Rent is outstanding, such payment shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (a) first, to Buyer for Rent then due and payable by such tenant under its Lease which accrues on or after the Closing Date, (b) next, on a prorated basis to Buyer and Seller for Rent due and payable by such tenant under its Lease which accrues in the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and (c) then, after payment in full of all such amounts then due and payable to Buyer from such tenant, to Seller to the extent of all Past Due Rent owed by such tenant, together with interest and late charges, if applicable. If any Past Due Rent is not paid to Seller within sixty (60) days after Closing, Seller shall have the right to attempt to effect collection by litigation or otherwise so long as Seller does not take any action to terminate the tenant’s lease or right to possession. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in its efforts to collect Past Due Rent but shall not be required to incur any cost with respect to such cooperation or take any action against any tenant to terminate the tenant’s lease or right to possession.

 

5.3 Security Deposits . Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for all refundable security deposits and other refundable deposits (if any) paid to Seller under the Leases to the extent that such deposits have not been applied by Seller to cure tenants’ defaults.  Seller shall retain, and Buyer shall not receive any credit for, any non-refundable tenant fees, including, without limitation, payments made under the Sure Deposit or Lease Protect programs, cleaning fees, redecorating fees and pet fees.

 

5.4 Utilities . Utility meters for utility services payable by Seller and not directly metered to tenants shall be read on or immediately prior to the Closing Date, if possible, and the amounts due as disclosed by such readings shall be paid by Seller or credited to Buyer. Otherwise all utility charges and billings shall be prorated using the prior month’s bill as of the Closing Date and shall be reprorated upon receipt of actual bills for the period in question. Seller shall retain, and Buyer shall not receive any credit for, any utility deposits or deposits with governmental or quasi-governmental authorities.

 

5.5 Expenses . Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (concerning taxes, assessments and utility charges), operating expenses of Seller or Property Manager for the Property shall be payable by Seller and Buyer on an accrual basis in accordance with the parties’ respective periods of ownership so that Seller pays all expenses accruing prior to the Closing Date and Buyer pays all expenses accruing on or after the Closing Date. In the event either party receives a bill for expenses for which the other party is obligated, such other party shall pay such bill promptly after receipt thereof.

 

5.6 Lump Sum Payments from Vendors. Under no circumstances shall Buyer be entitled to receive any portion of any lump sum, inducement or similar payments made to Seller (or Seller’s predecessor owners) by cable or other utility companies or other vendors in exchange for the right of those companies or vendors to install equipment or provide services or other benefits to the Property or its tenants.

 

10
 
5.7 Miscellaneous . In the event any prorations or computations made under this Section 5 are based on estimates or prove to be incorrect, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the party from whom it is entitled to such adjustment within ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (except with respect to Taxes, which adjustment must occur, if at all, within ninety (90) days after the actual Taxes are determined).

SECTION 12
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

 

12.1 Casualty . If the Property or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date which would cost in excess of $763,000 to repair (as determined by an insurance adjuster mutually selected by Buyer and Seller), Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or before the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) days following such casualty or (b) the Closing Date. In the event of such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Buyer is not entitled to or does not timely elect to so terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as herein provided without abatement of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign and transfer to Buyer on the Closing Date, without warranty or recourse, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of such fire or casualty (including, without limitation, rent loss proceeds applicable to the period on and after the Closing Date), less Seller’s reasonable costs of collection thereof and of amounts used for reasonable repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if proceeds have not been disbursed to Seller by Seller’s insurance company, and Seller’s insurance company refuses to transfer or assign to Buyer the right to the balance of any such insurance proceeds at or prior to Closing, then, regardless of whether the casualty is deemed material pursuant to this Section 12.1 , Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money, unless, in lieu of such transfer by Seller’s insurance company, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with a credit at Closing equal to the amount the Buyer is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Section 12.1 as a result of such casualty.

 

12.2 Condemnation . If any material portion of the Property is taken in eminent domain proceedings prior to Closing, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy, terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller given on or before the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) days after such taking or (b) the Closing Date, and, in the event of such termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation under this Agreement, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Buyer is not entitled to or does not timely elect to so terminate, the Closing shall take place as herein provided without abatement of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign and transfer to Buyer on the Closing Date, without warranty or recourse, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all condemnation awards paid or payable to Seller on account of such eminent domain proceedings (less Seller’s reasonable costs of collection thereof and of amounts used for reasonable repair). For purposes of this Section 12.2 , a “material portion” of the Property shall be deemed taken if the cost of repair or restoration of the damage to the Property on account of such condemnation shall exceed an amount equal to $763,000 or if the condemnation would materially impede access to the Property or reduce available parking below that which is required by laws or any agreement applicable to the Property, or otherwise cause the Property to no longer be compliant with applicable zoning and use regulations.

 

18
 

 

SECTION 13
OPERATIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING OR TERMINATION

 

Seller covenants and agrees with Buyer that after the date hereof until the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall conduct its business involving the Property as follows:

 

(a) Seller shall refrain from transferring title to any of the Property (other than use of regular business inventory or transfer of Personal Property no longer used in the operation of the Real Property, all in the ordinary course of business) or creating on the Property any mortgages which will survive Closing.

 

(b) Seller shall refrain from entering into or amending any contracts or other agreements (excluding leases, which Seller may continue to do in the ordinary course of business) pertaining to the Property, other than contracts or other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and which are cancelable by the owner of the Property without penalty within thirty (30) days after giving notice thereof.

 

(c) Seller shall refrain from offering the Property for sale or marketing the same.

 

(d) Seller shall terminate any terminable Service Contract promptly after receiving written notice from Buyer during the Due Diligence Period requesting such termination; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) all costs and expenses associated with any such termination shall be paid by Buyer; (ii) any such termination may be conditioned on the completion of the Closing; and (iii) any such termination shall be effective only after expiration of any notice or grace period specified in the provisions of the applicable Service Contract (which may not occur until after the Closing). Any and all Service Contracts not fully and effectively terminated as of Closing shall be assumed by Buyer at Closing as contemplated under Section 4.2(c)(ii) above.

 

(e) Seller agrees to keep all vacant apartment units at the Property in so-called “rent ready” condition as defined herein; provided, however, that Seller shall have no such obligation with respect to any units that become vacant on or after the date that is five (5) days prior to the Closing Date (the " Cut-off Date "). In the event that (i) any apartment unit at the Property becomes vacant prior to the Cut-off Date, (ii) such unit remains vacant at Closing, and (iii) Seller has not made such unit “rent ready” in accordance with Seller’s customary procedures, then at Closing Buyer shall be entitled to a credit of $500 with respect to such unit as Buyer's sole compensation. For purposes of this Section 13(e) , “rent ready” shall mean that interior carpets have been cleaned, interior walls have been freshly painted, unit contains working appliances (and water heaters and HVAC to the extent such items serve only the individual vacant unit(s)), and the unit has no material damage to the doors, walls, ceilings, floors or windows.

SECTION 14
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

14.1 Seller Defaults . In the event that Seller, on or prior to the Closing Date, shall default in the performance of its obligations hereunder, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may either (a) seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money, together with reimbursement by Seller of up to Seventy Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, loan fees, rate lock fees, deposits, third party inspection costs and travel expenses actually incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, whereupon neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Buyer elects to pursue the equitable remedy of specific performance, and, due to the wrongful or intentional act of Seller, the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available, Buyer may seek any other right or remedy available at law or in equity except as otherwise limited by this Agreement. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any damages, including, without limitation, any direct, punitive, speculative or consequential damages. The provisions of this Section shall not limit Buyer’s or Seller’s right to pursue and recover on a claim with respect to any of the Termination Surviving Obligations.

 

14.2 Buyer Defaults . In the event that Buyer, on or prior to the Closing Date, shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, it will be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages that Seller may suffer. Therefore, the parties have agreed that a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment that Seller would suffer in such event is the amount of the Earnest Money and Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Agreement by notifying Buyer thereof and receive and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages, provided that this provision shall not limit Seller’s or Buyer’s rights to pursue and recover on a claim with respect to any of the Termination Surviving Obligations. Such liquidated damages are not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of applicable law. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any other damages, including, without limitation, direct, punitive, speculative or consequential damages. In the event Seller is entitled to the Earnest Money as liquidated damages, and to the extent Seller has not already received the Earnest Money, the Earnest Money shall, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, be immediately paid to Seller by the Escrow Company upon receipt of written notice from Seller that Buyer has defaulted under this Agreement, and Buyer agrees to take all such actions and execute and deliver all such documents necessary or appropriate to effect such payment.

 

14.3 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs . In the event legal action is instituted to interpret or enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party the prevailing party’s costs and attorney’s fees, including, without limitation, all costs and fees that are incurred in any trial, on any appeal and/or in any bankruptcy proceeding.

Subject to the previous sentence, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on and enforceable against the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. In addition, Buyer shall not re-sell the Property or assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement (or make an offer or enter into negotiations to do so) through a “double escrow” or other similar mechanism without Seller’s prior written consent. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of Buyer and Seller, and except as provided in the indemnities granted by Buyer to the Indemnified Seller Parties herein, no other person or entity shall be entitled to rely on this Agreement, receive any benefit from it or enforce any provisions of it against Buyer or Seller.

15.11 Independent Counsel; Interpretation . Buyer and Seller each acknowledge that: (a) they have been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement; (b) they have executed this Agreement with the advice of such counsel; and (c) this Agreement is the result of arms length negotiations between the parties hereto and the advice and assistance of their respective counsel. Notwithstanding any rule of law to the contrary: (i) the fact that this Agreement was prepared by Seller’s counsel as a matter of convenience shall have no import or significance, and any uncertainty or ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against Seller because Seller’s counsel prepared this Agreement; and (ii) no deletions from prior drafts of this Agreement shall be construed to create the opposite intent of the deleted provisions.

 

15.12 Governmental Approvals . Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as authorizing Buyer to apply for a zoning change, variance, subdivision maps, lot line adjustment, or other discretionary governmental act, approval or permit with respect to the Property prior to the Closing, and Buyer agrees not to do so. Buyer agrees not to submit any reports, studies or other documents, including, without limitation, plans and specifications, impact statements for water, sewage, drainage or traffic, environmental review forms, or energy conservation checklists to any governmental agency, or any amendment or modification to any such instruments or documents prior to the Closing.

Section 6045e of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “ Reporting Requirements ”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (i) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (ii) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:

 

(a) Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.

 

(b) Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.

 

(c) Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Sellers’ correct taxpayer identification numbers are as follows:

 

(i) Seller: 45-3418588
     
(ii) Buyer: 71-0962325

23
 

 

15.19 Texas Notices .

Brokers are not qualified to render property inspections, surveys, engineering studies, environmental assessments, or inspections to determine compliance with zoning, governmental regulations, or laws. Buyer should seek experts to render such services. Selection of inspectors and repairmen is the responsibility of Buyer and not the Broker.

 

(d) Texas RELA Notice . The Texas Real Estate License Act requires written notice to Buyer that Buyer should have an attorney examine an abstract of title to the Property or, in the alternative, obtain a title insurance policy. Notice to that effect is, therefore, hereby given to Buyer.

 

(e) Rollback Taxes Notice . The following disclosure is made for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Section 5.010 of the Texas Property Code and is not intended to and does not alter or affect the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller relating thereto as set forth above:

 

NOTICE REGARDING POSSIBLE LIABILITY FOR ADDITIONAL TAXES

 

If for the current ad valorem tax year the taxable value of the land that is the subject of this Agreement is determined by a special appraisal method that allows for the appraisal of the land at less than its market value, the person to whom the land is transferred may not be allowed to qualify the land for that special appraisal in a subsequent tax year and the land may then be appraised at its full market value. In addition, the transfer of the land or a subsequent change in the use of the land may result in the imposition of an additional tax plus interest as a penalty for the transfer or the change in use of the land. The taxable value of the land and the applicable method of appraisal for current tax year is public information and may be obtained from the tax appraisal district established for the county in which the Property is located.

 

(f) Annexation Notice . The following disclosure is made for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Section 5.011 of the Texas Property Code and is not intended to and does not alter or affect the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller:

 

NOTICE REGARDING POSSIBLE ANNEXATION

 

If the property that is the subject of this Agreement is located outside the limits of a municipality, the property may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the property is located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the property for further information.

(g) Property Located in a Certificated Service Area of a Utility Service Provider .

 

Notice required by § 13.257, Water Code: The real property, described in this Agreement, that you are about to purchase may be located in a certificated water or sewer service area, which is authorized by law to provide water or sewer service to the properties in the certificated area. If your property is located in a certificated area there may be special costs or charges that you will be required to pay before you can receive water or sewer service. There may be a period required to construct lines or other facilities necessary to provide water or sewer service to your property. You are advised to determine if the property is in a certificated area and contact the utility service provider to determine the cost that you will be required to pay and the period, if any, that is required to provide water or sewer service to your property. The undersigned Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of the foregoing notice at or before the execution of a binding contract for the purchase of the Property or at closing of purchase of the Property.

 

(h) Public Improvement Districts . If the Property is in a public improvement district, §5.014, Property Code, requires Seller to notify Buyer as follows: As a purchaser of this parcel of real property you are obligated to pay an assessment to a municipality or county for an improvement project undertaken by a public improvement district under Chapter 372, Local Government Code. The assessment may be due annually or in periodic installments. More information concerning the amount of the assessment and the due dates of that assessment may be obtained from the municipality or county levying the assessment. The amount of the assessments is subject to change. Your failure to pay the assessments could result in a lien on and the foreclosure of your property.

UPON NOTICE FROM ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED SELLER PARTIES OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH SUCH PARTY IS INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER, BUYER WILL DEFEND SUCH PARTY, AT BUYER’S EXPENSE, USING COUNSEL APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE INDEMNIFIED SELLER PARTY REQUESTING SUCH DEFENSE. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 15.20 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND SHALL NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS AND SHALL BE DEEMED INCORPORATED INTO THE DEED.

 

25
 

 

15.21 Post Closing Obligations Regarding Financial Information . Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission [“ SEC ”]), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Property for up to one (1) fiscal year prior to Closing and any interim period during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (the “ Financial Information ”). If Buyer or its principals give notice to Seller that it is (or they are) obligated to provide such information, following the Closing and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer and its representatives and agents in the preparation of the Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to (i) incur any out of pocket expenses or costs unless Buyer reimburses Seller for the same, or (ii) provide information that was previously made available to Buyer.  For a period of ninety (90) days after Closing, Seller shall maintain, and after reasonable advance written notice from Buyer, Seller shall provide access to such books and records of Seller and Property Manager reasonably related to the Property except as otherwise limited by this Section 15.21 . Further, so long as the persons in charge of management of the Property at the time of Closing remain in the employ of Seller or an affiliate of Seller, after reasonable written notice to Seller, it will make such persons available for interview; provided, however, that Seller shall be allowed to have other representatives present during any such interviews.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information concerning (a) Seller’s, or any of Seller's affiliates’ or partners’ (collectively with Seller, the " Seller Financial Parties "), capital structure or debt, (b) any Seller Financial Parties' financial analyses or projections, investment analyses, account summaries or other documents prepared solely for any Seller Financial Parties' internal purposes or not directly related to the operation of the Property, (c) any Seller Financial Parties' tax returns, or (d) any Seller Financial Parties' financial statements (other than Property-level financial statements otherwise required pursuant to this Section 15.21 ). Seller acknowledges and agrees that any information provided or made available pursuant to this Section 15.21 will, to Seller's knowledge at the time provided, be true, accurate and complete in all material respects.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may not use any information provided pursuant to this Section 15.21 or the results of its review or interviews pursuant to this Section 15.21 to pursue any claim against any Indemnified Seller Parties.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

Escrow No.:____________

Date: January ___, 2015

 

EARNEST MONEY ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

The sum of $250,000 of earnest money will be deposited with Heritage Title Company of Austin, as escrowee ("Escrowee"), on or about the time of the execution of this Escrow Agreement, and an additional $150,000 of earnest money may be deposited with Escrowee, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.2 of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale described below. All of the funds deposited with Escrowee hereunder shall be disbursed by Escrowee only in accordance with this Earnest Money Escrow Agreement (this “Escrow Agreement”).

 

Escrowee is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any and all orders or decrees entered or issued by any court, with or without jurisdiction, and in case Escrowee obeys or complies with any such order or decree of any court it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order or decree being entered without jurisdiction or being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. In case of any suit or proceeding regarding this Escrow Agreement to which Escrowee is or may at any time become a party (except a suit or proceeding arising from Escrowee’s breach of its obligations hereunder), Escrowee shall have a lien on the contents hereof for any and all out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, whether such attorneys shall be regularly retained or specially employed, and any other reasonable expenses which it may have incurred or become liable for on account thereof, and it shall be entitled to reimburse itself therefor out of said deposit, and the undersigned jointly and severally agree to pay Escrowee, upon demand, all such costs, fees and expenses so incurred. In no case shall the above mentioned deposits be surrendered except on an order signed by the parties hereto, their respective legal representatives or assigns, or in obedience of the process or order of court as aforesaid, or in compliance with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale described below.

 

Deposits made pursuant to these instructions shall be invested on behalf of Buyer; provided that any direction to Escrowee for such investment shall be expressed in writing, and also provided that Escrowee is in receipt of the taxpayer's identification number and investment forms as required. Escrowee will, upon request, furnish information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment.

 

In the event the Escrowee is requested to invest deposits hereunder, Escrowee is not to be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest which may be incurred as a result of making the investment for the purposes of these escrow instructions unless such loss results from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Escrowee.

 

Except as to deposits of funds for which Escrowee has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the parties hereto agree that the Escrowee shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any deposits at any time held by it hereunder. Escrowee may commingle any uninvested deposits with other deposits or with its own funds in the manner permitted under applicable law; provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Escrowee's obligation to apply the full amount of the deposits, plus all interest and earnings thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

 

 
 

 

The undersigned Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the amount deposited hereunder is the Earnest Money described in and governed by that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated January ___ 2015, between the undersigned Seller and Buyer (the "Agreement"). Seller and Buyer agree to execute all joint directions and take all other actions required hereunder to cause the Earnest Money to be disbursed and applied in the manner required under said Agreement. If Escrowee shall receive an instruction (hereinafter the “Instruction”) with respect to the Earnest Money that is contrary to the Agreement, or any part thereof, from Seller but not from Buyer, or from Buyer but not from Seller (the party giving the Instruction being hereinafter referred to as the “Instructing Party” and the party which shall not have given the Instruction being hereinafter referred to as the “Non-Instructing Party”), Escrowee shall transmit a copy of the Instruction received from the Instructing Party to the Non-Instructing Party. Escrowee shall refrain from acting in accordance with the Instruction for three (3) business days after receipt of such Instruction, and thereafter shall act in accordance with the Instruction unless the Non-Instructing Party shall have notified Escrowee in writing within such three (3) business day period objecting to the disbursement of the Earnest Money in accordance with the Instruction. Each party shall only object if it has a good faith basis to do so. If the Non-Instructing Party shall advise Escrowee not to comply with the Instruction within such three (3) business day period, Escrowee shall not act in accordance with the Instruction, but may thereafter either

 

(a)         act solely in accordance with any of the following:

 

(i)       a new Instruction signed jointly by Seller and Buyer;

 

(ii)      separate Instructions of like tenor from each of Seller and Buyer;

 

(iii)     a certified copy of an arbitrator’s award issued under the rules of the American Arbitration Association as to which Escrowee shall have received an opinion of a law firm satisfactory to Escrowee in its sole and absolute discretion that such award is final beyond appeal; or

 

(iv)     a certified copy of a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction as to which Escrowee shall have received an opinion of a law firm satisfactory to Escrowee in its sole and absolute discretion that such award is final beyond appeal; or

 

(b)        deposit the Earnest Money with a court selected by Escrowee and in such event all liability and responsibility of Escrowee shall terminate upon such deposit having been made.

 

Escrowee is acting only for the accommodation of the parties and in performing its duties, shall not be liable for: a) any loss, costs or damage which it may incur as result of serving as Escrowee hereunder, except for any loss, costs or damage arising out of its intentional misconduct or gross negligence, b) any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document, escrow instructions, including any written instructions provided for in this Escrow Agreement, which Escrowee shall in good faith believe to be genuine, and c) any loss or impairment of the deposits deposited with a federally insured financial institution, resulting from the failure, insolvency, or suspension of the depository. Buyer and Seller hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrowee harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by Escrowee in connection with it serving as Escrowee hereunder.

 

Any notice, report, demand or instruction required or permitted under this Escrow Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently transmitted, delivered, given or served for all purposes if delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service which provides a receipt to the parties at their addresses hereinabove set forth below or at such other address as a party may hereafter designate by written notice as herein provided. The effective date of delivery or transmittal of a notice, report, demand or instruction shall be the actual date that delivery is effected.

Exhibit 10.3

 

TENANTS IN COMMON AGREEMENT

 

This TENANTS IN COMMON AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated March 26, 2015, by and among BR FOX HILLS TIC-1, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“TIC-1”), and BR FOX HILLS TIC-2, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“TIC-2”) (together with any other persons or parties who acquire an interest and assume the rights and obligations hereunder by written instrument, each sometimes referred to as a “Tenant in Common” or collectively as the “Tenants in Common”), with reference to the facts set forth below.

 

RECITALS

 

A.           The Tenants in Common own real property and improvements thereon, located at 8800 Highway 290 West, Austin, Texas, and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (“Property”). The notice addresses for the Tenants in Common, and percentage interest held by each Tenant in Common in the Property, are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

B.           The Tenants in Common desire to enter into this Agreement to (a) provide for the orderly administration of their rights and responsibilities as to each other and as to others and (b) delegate authority and responsibility for the intended further operation and management of the Property.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as set forth below.

 

1.             Nature of Relationship Between Co-Tenants .

 

1.1            Tenants in Common Relationship; No Partnership . The Tenants in Common each shall hold their respective undivided tenancy in common interests in the Property (the “Interests”) as tenants-in-common. The Tenants in Common do not intend by this Agreement to create a partnership or joint venture among themselves, but merely to set forth the terms and conditions upon which each of them shall hold their respective Interests. In addition, the Tenants in Common do not intend to create a partnership or joint venture with the Property Manager (as defined below). Therefore, each Tenant in Common hereby elects to be excluded from the provisions of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to the tenancy in common ownership of the Property. The exclusion elected by the Tenants in Common hereunder shall commence with the execution of this Agreement.

 

1.2            Reporting as Direct Owners and Not a Partnership . Each Tenant in Common hereby covenants and agrees to report on such Tenant in Common’s respective federal and state income tax returns all items of income, deduction and credits that result from its Interests. All such reporting shall be consistent with the exclusion of the Tenants in Common from Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Code, commencing with the first taxable year following the execution of this Agreement. Further, each Tenant in Common covenants and agrees not to notify the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (“Commissioner”) that it desires that Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Code apply to the Tenants in Common.

 

1.3            Indemnity . Each Tenant in Common hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other Tenant in Common free and harmless from all costs, liabilities, tax consequences and expenses (for example, taxes, interest and any penalties), including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, which may result from any Tenant in Common so notifying the Commissioner in violation of this Agreement or otherwise taking a contrary position on any tax return, report or other document.

 

1.4            No Agency . No Tenant in Common is authorized to act as agent for, to act on behalf of, or to do any act that will bind, any other Tenant in Common, or to incur any obligations with respect to the Property.

 

1
 

 

2.              Management . The Tenants in Common are currently parties to (or are concurrently herewith becoming parties to) a Property Management Agreement with respect to the Property (as amended, the “Property Management Agreement”) with Bluerock Property Management, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (which in turn with subcontract management services with Bell Partners, Inc. a North Carolina corporation (“Bell”)) (the “Property Manager”). Pursuant to the Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager shall be the sole and exclusive manager of the Property to act on behalf of the Tenants in Common with respect to the management, operation, maintenance and leasing of the Property during the term of the Property Management Agreement. The Property Management Agreement (and the subcontract between Property Manager and Bell) is hereby ratified and reconfirmed by the Tenants in Common, and all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Property Management Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as if set forth in full herein.

 

3.              Income and Liabilities . Except as otherwise provided herein and in the Property Management Agreement, each of the Tenants in Common shall be entitled to all benefits and obligations of ownership of the Property. Accordingly, each of the Tenants in Common shall (a) be entitled to all benefits of ownership of the Property, on a gross and not a net basis, including, without limitation, all items of income, revenue and proceeds from sale or refinance or condemnation of the Property, in proportion to their respective Interests, and (b) bear, and shall be liable for, payment of all expenses of ownership of the Property, on a gross and not a net basis, including by way of illustration, but not limitation, all operating expenses and expenses of sale or refinancing or condemnation, in proportion to their respective Interests; except for such amounts as may be reasonably determined by the Tenants in Common or by the Property Manager (to the extent that the Property Manager has the authority to make such a determination pursuant to the Property Management Agreement) to be retained for reserves or improvements in accordance with the Property Management Agreement or the applicable budget for the Property.

 

4.              Co-Tenant’s Obligations . The Tenants in Common each agree to perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

 

4.1            Documents . Executing documents required in connection with the acquisition, financing, sale or refinancing of the Property approved by the Tenants in Common in accordance with Section 5 below and such additional documents as may be required under this Agreement or may be reasonably required to effect the intent of the Tenants in Common with respect to the Property, the Property Management Agreement or any loans encumbering the Property, including that certain mortgage loan (the “Existing Loan”) evidenced by that certain Multifamily Note (“Note”) dated March 26, 2015 in the original principal amount of $26,705,000.00 issued by the Tenants in Common to Walker & Dunlop, LLC and currently held by Fannie Mae (Walker & Dunlop, LLC, Fannie Mae and their respective successors and assigns as the holder of the Note are referred to herein as the “Mortgage Lender”).

 

4.2            Additional Funds . Each Tenant in Common will be responsible for a pro rata share (based on each Tenant in Common’s respective Interests) of any future cash needed for any purpose in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property as determined by the Tenants in Common (including under any budget applicable to the Tenants in Common) or by the Property Manager (and approved by the Tenants in Common) pursuant to the Property Management Agreement or as required by any loan secured by the Property, including the Existing Loan. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any lender under financing secured by the Property, including the Existing Loan, elects to pursue one or more, but not all, of the Tenants in Common based on the joint and several liability of the Tenants in Common under such financing, then any Tenants in Common that paid (either in cash or through foreclosure of its Interest) in excess of its allocable share of the financing shall be entitled to reimbursement by the remaining Tenants in Common for any excess share paid by such Tenant in Common; provided that no such reimbursement shall be sought or enforced at any time prior to the timely repayment in full of the Existing Loan. Further, any Tenant in Common who breaches any of the recourse exceptions to the non-recourse nature of any such financing, including the Existing Loan, shall be liable to reimburse any other Tenant in Common (or party(ies) related thereto or owner(s) thereof) for any amounts paid by such other party (or if such other party likewise was responsible for such breach, then such Tenant in Common shall pay an amount equal to its allocable share thereof); provided that no such liability shall be sought or enforced at any time prior to the timely repayment in full of the Existing Loan. To the extent any Tenant in Common fails to pay any such funds within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of notice that such additional funds are required, any other Tenant(s) in Common may loan any such funds to the nonpaying Tenant(s) in Common, who shall be liable on a fully recourse basis to repay the paying Tenant(s) in Common the amount of any such loan plus interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law) within thirty one (31) days of funding the loan. In addition, the Property Manager is hereby authorized and directed to pay the Tenant(s) in Common entitled to reimbursement the sum loaned (with interest thereon as provided above) out of future cash from operations or from the sale or refinancing of the Property or other distributions otherwise due the nonpaying Tenant(s) in Common pursuant to the Property Management Agreement. The remedies against a nonpaying Tenant in Common provided for herein are in addition to any other remedies that may otherwise be available, including by way of illustration, but not limitation, the right to obtain a lien against the Interests of the nonpaying Tenant in Common to the extent allowed by law and by any third party financing secured by the Property (including the Existing Loan). By executing this Agreement, each Tenant in Common agrees (i) that any such short term loan will be made on a fully recourse basis, (ii) if such Tenant in Common is an entity that is, for federal tax purposes, disregarded, such loan shall be recourse to the owners of such disregarded entity, and (iii) to repay such loan within thirty-one (31) days of funding. So long as there is outstanding any balance on the Existing Loan, the Tenants in Common each waive any and all lien rights it holds against another Tenant in Common, including for a failure to pay funds under this Section 4.2 or for a failure of such Tenant in Common to perform its obligations as a Tenant in Common, whether under this Agreement or at law.

 

2
 

 

5.              Sale or Encumbrance of Property .

 

5.1            Approval . The taking of any of the Major Decisions regarding the Property set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein shall be subject to the prior unanimous approval by the Tenants in Common. The Tenants in Common, by their execution hereof, shall be deemed to have approved the Existing Loan affecting the Property.

 

5.2            Distribution of Loan or Sales Proceeds . Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, proceeds of a loan or sale shall be distributed at the closing of the loan or the sale as set forth below.

 

5.2.1           To the extent necessary, the proceeds first shall be used to pay in full any loans encumbering title to the Property, including the Existing Loan.

 

5.2.2           The proceeds next shall be used to pay all outstanding costs and expenses incurred in connection with the holding, marketing, financing and/or sale of the Property.

 

5.2.3           To the extent necessary, the proceeds next shall be used to pay in full any unsecured loans made or allocable to the Tenants in Common with respect to the Property.

 

5.2.4           Any proceeds remaining shall be paid to each Tenant in Common in accordance with their respective Interests as provided in Section 3 above.

 

5.3            Purchase Rights . In the event that the Tenants in Common are unable to obtain unanimous approval of any Major Decision pursuant to Section 5.1, then either Tenant in Common may exercise the purchase rights set forth and described in Exhibit E attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

6.              Possession . The Tenants in Common intend to lease the Property at all times. Accordingly, no Tenant in Common shall have the right to occupy or use the Property at any time during the term of this Agreement and hereby expressly waive any such right.

 

7.              Transfer or Encumbrance . Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to compliance with any loan (and associated loan documents) secured by the Property, including the Existing Loan, each Tenant in Common may sell, transfer, convey, pledge, encumber or hypothecate the Interests or any part thereof, provided that (a) any transferee shall take such Interests subject to this Agreement and the Property Management Agreement, (b) the transferor and transferee shall execute and cause to be recorded an assignment and assumption agreement whereby (i) transferor assigns to transferee, to the extent of the Interests being transferred, all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement and the Property Management Agreement; and (ii) transferee assumes and agrees to perform faithfully and to be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Agreement and the Property Management Agreement with respect to the Interests to be transferred and (c) such transferor and transferee shall execute and cause to be recorded any related loan assumption agreements required by the lender under any financing secured by the Property, including the Existing Loan. Upon execution and recordation of such assumption agreements, the transferee shall become a party to this Agreement and the Property Management Agreement and any such financing without further action by the other Tenants in Common.

 

3
 

 

8.              Right of Partition .

 

8.1            General . The Tenants in Common agree generally that any Tenant in Common (and any of its successors-in-interest) shall have the right, while this Agreement remains in effect, to have the Property partitioned, and to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have the Property partitioned, in accordance with, and to the extent provided by, applicable law. The Tenants in Common acknowledge and agree that partition of the Property may result in a forced sale by all of the Tenants in Common. To avoid the inequity of a forced sale and the potential adverse effect on the investment by the other Tenants in Common, the Tenants in Common agree that, as a condition precedent to filing a partition action, the Tenant in Common intending to file such action shall follow the buy-sell procedure set forth in Section 10.

 

8.2            Lender Mandate . Notwithstanding the general provision of Section 8.1, as a condition of the Mortgage Lender making the Existing Loan to the Tenants in Common to acquire the Property or, if required by any subsequent lender in connection with the refinancing of the Existing Loan or any subsequent loan secured by the Property, the Tenants in Common shall be deemed to have waived, for the entire term of any such loan (including, without limitation, the Existing Loan), their right to partition the Property or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have the Property partitioned in accordance with local law.

 

9.              Bankruptcy . To avoid the inequity of a forced sale and the potential adverse effect on the investment of the other Tenants in Common, the Tenants in Common agree that, as a condition precedent to entering into this Agreement, the Tenant in Common causing an Event of Bankruptcy (as defined below) shall follow the buy-sell procedure set forth in Section 10. The Tenants in Common agree that the following shall constitute an “Event of Bankruptcy” with respect to any Tenant in Common (and any of its successors-in-interests): if a receiver, liquidator or trustee is appointed for any Tenant in Common, if any Tenant in Common becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, any Tenant in Common; provided, however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by such Tenant in Common then, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within thirty (30) days thereof.

 

4
 

 

10.            Buy-Sell Procedure . Prior to the filing of a partition action in accordance with Section 8 or upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy in accordance with Section 9, the Tenant in Common filing such action or the subject of the Event of Bankruptcy (hereinafter, “Seller”) shall first make a written offer (“Offer”) to sell its Interest to the other Tenant in Common at a price equal to (a) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of Seller’s undivided Interest minus (b) Seller’s proportionate share of any selling, prepayment or other costs that would apply in the event the Property was sold on the date of the offer. The other Tenant in Common shall be entitled to purchase the selling Tenant in Common’s Interest in the Property. “Fair Market Value” shall mean the fair market value of Seller’s undivided Interest in the Property (reduced by liabilities secured by the Property or liabilities taken subject to) on the date the Offer is made as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The other Tenant in Common shall have twenty (20) days after delivery of the Offer to accept the Offer. If the other Tenant in Common (the Tenant in Common electing to accept the Offer, “Purchaser”) accepts the Offer, Seller and Purchaser shall commence negotiation of the Fair Market Value within fifteen (15) days after the Offer is accepted. If the parties do not agree, after good faith negotiations, within ten (10) days, then each party shall submit to the other a proposal containing the Fair Market Value the submitting party believes to be correct (each a “Proposal”). If either Purchaser or Seller fails to timely submit a Proposal, the other party’s submitted Proposal shall determine the Fair Market Value. If both Purchaser and Seller timely submit Proposals, then the Fair Market Value shall be determined by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth below. Purchaser and Seller shall meet, telephonically or at a mutually agreeable location, within seven (7) days after delivery of the last Proposal and make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint a certified MAI real estate appraiser who shall have been active full-time over the previous five (5) years in the appraisal of comparable properties located in Austin, Texas to act as the arbitrator. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator, then Purchaser and Seller each, within five (5) days after the meeting, shall select an arbitrator that meets the foregoing qualifications. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed, within fifteen (15) days after their appointment, shall appoint a third arbitrator meeting the foregoing qualifications; provided, however, if one party fails to appoint an arbitrator in such period, then the one appointed arbitrator shall make such determination itself without the need for an additional, or third, arbitrator to be appointed or chosen. The determination of the arbitrator(s) shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Seller’s or Purchaser’s Proposal most closely approximates the Fair Market Value. The decision of the single arbitrator or of the arbitrator(s) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the appointment of a single arbitrator or the third arbitrator, as applicable. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to create an independent structure of fair market value or prescribe or change any or several of the components or the structure thereof; the sole decision to be made shall be which of the parties’ Proposals most closely corresponds to the Fair Market Value. The decision of the single arbitrator or majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser or Seller fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time period specified above, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision that shall be binding upon the parties. The cost of the arbitrators shall be paid equally by Seller and Purchaser. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York, in accordance with applicable Texas law, as modified by this Agreement. The parties agree that Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9 of the United States Code, shall not apply to any arbitration hereunder. The parties shall have no discovery rights in connection with the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator(s) may be submitted to any court of competent jurisdiction by the party designated in the decision (i.e., New York, Delaware or Texas, as applicable). Such party shall submit to the applicable court having subject matter jurisdiction a form of judgment incorporating the decision of the arbitrator(s), and such judgment, when signed by a judge of such court, shall become final for all purposes and shall be entered by the clerk of the court on the judgment roll of the court. If either Purchaser or Seller refuses to arbitrate an arbitrable dispute and the party demanding arbitration obtains a court order directing the other to arbitrate, the party demanding arbitration shall be entitled to all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in obtaining such order, regardless of which party ultimately prevails in the matter. BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH TENANT IN COMMON AGREES TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BY TEXAS LAW AND EACH TENANT IN COMMON KNOWINGLY GIVES UP ANY RIGHTS IT MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT EACH TENANT IN COMMON GIVES UP ITS JUDICIAL RIGHTS TO APPEAL. IF YOU REFUSE TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION AFTER AGREEING TO THIS PROVISION, YOU MAY BE COMPELLED TO ARBITRATE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF TEXAS LAW. EACH TENANT IN COMMON’S AGREEMENT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IS VOLUNTARY. Once the Fair Market Value is determined, the Purchaser shall be obligated to acquire the Seller’s Interest. The closing of the purchase shall occur at or through a mutually agreeable title company where the Property is located within thirty (30) days from the date a Fair Market Value is determined, whether by agreement or arbitration. Closing costs and prorations shall be allocated as is standard practice where the Property is located.

EXHIBIT “D”

 

DECISIONS REQUIRING UNANIMITY

 

DECISIONS REQUIRING UNANIMITY Notwithstanding any powers delegated to the Property Manager, or any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the following powers are expressly reserved to the Tenants in Common, and the unanimous affirmative vote of TIC-1 and TIC-2 shall be required to approve any such action (each, a “Major Decision”):

 

(i)           any loan to be secured by the Property, including any refinancing, material amendment, material modification or extension of the Existing Loan;

 

(ii)          any sale of the Property (as an entirety) or any action reasonably intended to accomplish same, including but not limited to entering into any contract of sale or binding or non-binding term sheet, marketing the Property for sale, selecting or engaging any broker or anyone else for the purpose of selling or marketing the Property, releasing Property information to any broker or anyone else for the purpose of selling or marketing the Property, giving, granting or undertaking any options, rights of first refusal, pledges, ground leases, security or other interests in or encumbering the Property, any portion thereof or any other material assets;

 

(iii)         enter into any transaction with an affiliate of any Tenant in Common (except the initial entry into the Property Management Agreement). Subject to the remaining terms of this clause (iii), the Tenants in Common shall have equal approval rights with respect to any change in management of the Property with respect to the property management functions (i.e., any modification or amendment of the Property Management Agreement; provided, however, termination of such agreement shall be solely subject to the terms thereof);

 

(iv)          any acquisition by the Tenants in Common by purchase, ground lease or otherwise, of any real property or other material asset, or the entry into of any agreement, commitment or assumption with respect to any of the foregoing, or the making or posting of any deposit (refundable or non-refundable) in connection therewith;

 

(v)           any taking of any action by the Tenants in Common that is reasonably likely to result in any Tenant in Common or any of its affiliates having individual liability under any so called “bad boy” guaranties or similar agreements provided to third party lenders in respect of financings relating to the Property which provide for recourse as a result of willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence or for failure to comply with the covenants or any other provisions of such “bad boy” guaranties (each, a “Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty”);

 

(vi)          any decision of “Owner” with respect to approval or amendment of any “Budget” as those terms are defined and used in the Property Management Agreement;

 

(vii)         any amendment, modification, or termination of this Agreement or the Property Management Agreement;

 

(viii)       except as otherwise set forth in the approved Budget, making a call for additional capital with respect to the Property;

 

(viii)       acquiring, modifying, amending, or terminating any insurance policy with respect to the Property, other than in conjunction with any policies the cost of which was included in the Budget and other than any policies necessary to respond to any requirements of a lender under a loan, including the Existing Loan.

 

 
 

 

EXHIBIT “E”

 

PURCHASE RIGHTS

 

(a)           Availability of Rights . At any time that the Tenants in Common are unable to agree on a Major Decision and such failure to agree has continued for fifteen (15) days after written notice from one Tenant in Common to the other Tenant in Common indicating an intention to exercise rights under this Exhibit E, either Tenant in Common has the right to initiate the provisions of this Exhibit E. The rights provided in this Exhibit E shall not be available to any Tenant in Common and shall be unenforceable to the extent that the exercise of rights and attendant transfer of Interest violate any applicable document evidencing or securing a loan, including the Existing Loan, and any such transfer, if made, shall be void ab initio .

 

(b)           Exercise . The Tenant in Common wishing to exercise its rights pursuant to this Exhibit E (the “Offeror”) shall do so by giving notice to the other Tenant in Common (the “Offeree”) setting forth a statement of intent to invoke its rights under this Exhibit E, stating therein the aggregate dollar amount (the “Valuation Amount”) that the Offeror would be willing to pay for the Property as of the Closing Date (as defined below) free and clear of all liabilities, and setting forth all oral or written offers and inquiries received by the Offeror during the previous twelve-month period relating to the financing, disposition or leasing of the Property (including proposals for the formation of a new entity for the ownership and operation of the Property).

 

(c)           Offeree Response . After receipt of such notice, the Offeree shall elect to either (i) sell its entire Interest to the Offeror for an amount equal to the amount the Offeree would have been entitled to receive if the Tenants in Common had sold the Property for the Valuation Amount on the Closing Date and the Tenants in Common had immediately paid all Property level liabilities and Imputed Closing Costs and distributed the net proceeds of sale to the Tenants in Common pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement, or (ii) purchase the entire Interest of the Offeror for an amount equal to the amount the Offeror would have been entitled to receive if the Tenants in Common had sold the Property for the Valuation Amount on the Closing Date and the Tenants in Common had immediately paid all Property level liabilities and Imputed Closing Costs and distributed the net proceeds of the sale to the Tenants in Common pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement. The Offeree shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of the Offeror’s notice in which to exercise either of its options by giving written notice to the Offeror. If the Offeree does not elect to acquire the Offeror’s Interest within such time period, the Offeree shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Interest to the Offeror as provided in subsection (i) above. As used herein, “Imputed Closing Costs” means an amount (not to exceed one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of the purchase price) that would normally be incurred by the Tenants in Common for title insurance, premiums, survey costs, brokerage commissions, legal fees and other commercially reasonable closing costs.

 

(d)           Earnest Money . Within five (5) business days after an election has been made or deemed made under clause (c), the acquiring Tenant in Common shall deposit with a mutually acceptable third-party escrow agent a non-refundable earnest money deposit in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount the selling Tenant in Common is entitled to receive for its Interest under this Exhibit E, which amount shall be applied to the purchase price at closing. If the acquiring Tenant in Common should thereafter fail to consummate the transaction for any reason other than a default by the selling Tenant in Common or a refusal by any lender with respect to the Property who has a right under its loan documents to consent to such transfer to so consent, (i) (A) the earnest money deposit shall be distributed from escrow to the selling Tenant in Common, free of all claims of the acquiring Tenant in Common, as liquidated damages and constituting the sole and exclusive remedy available to the selling Tenant in Common because of a default by the acquiring Tenant in Common or (B) the selling Tenant in Common may, by delivering to the acquiring Tenant in Common written notice thereof, elect to buy the acquiring Tenant in Common’s entire Interest for an amount equal to the amount the acquiring Tenant in Common would have been entitled to receive if the Tenants in Common had sold the Property for the Valuation Amount and the Tenants in Common had immediately paid all Property level liabilities and Imputed Closing Costs and distributed the net proceeds of the sale to the Tenants in Common pursuant to Section 3, in which case, the Closing Date therefor shall be the date specified in the selling Tenant in Common’s notice, and (ii) if the acquiring Tenant in Common was the Offeror, the non-refundable earnest money deposit for any future election by the acquiring Tenant in Common to buy the selling Tenant in Common’s Interest shall be twenty percent (20%) of the amount the selling Tenant in Common is entitled to receive for its Interest in connection with such future election.

 

 
 

 

(e)           Closing . The closing of an acquisition pursuant to this Exhibit E shall be held at the principal place of business of the holder of the earnest money on a mutually acceptable date (the “Closing Date”) not later than sixty (60) days (or, if the Offeree is the acquiring Tenant in Common, ninety (90) days) after an election has been made or deemed made under clause (c). As a precondition to the closing, (A) the acquiring Tenant in Common shall work in good faith with the selling Tenant in Common to remove completely the selling Tenant in Common or any affiliate of the selling Tenant in Common that is a party to any Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty (unless the selling and acquiring Tenants in Common are under common control) (a “Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor”) from that Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty contemporaneously with the closing, including by means of substituting a replacement for the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor, and (B) to the extent that the acquiring Tenant in Common and selling Tenant in Common are not able to remove, where applicable, the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor completely from the Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty contemporaneously with the closing, the acquiring Tenant in Common or an affiliate of the acquiring Tenant in Common (in either case whose financial strength and creditworthiness shall be reasonably acceptable to the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor) shall provide an indemnity to the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor commensurate with the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor’s remaining exposure under the Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty for liabilities and losses that are the result of the acts or omissions of the acquiring Tenant in Common or any affiliates of the acquiring Tenant in Common; provided, however, that in any event, the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor shall remain liable for any liabilities or losses arising under the Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty for acts or omissions prior to the closing other than those liabilities or losses caused by the acts or omissions of the acquiring Tenant in Common or its affiliates (“Prior Acts”), and if the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor is removed from the Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty with respect to Prior Acts, then the Selling TIC Carveout Guarantor shall execute a backstop indemnity agreement acceptable to the acquiring Tenant in Common and any affiliate of the acquiring Tenant in Common that is a party to the Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty (the “Acquiring Indemnitees”) indemnifying each of the Acquiring Indemnitees from liabilities and losses arising from Prior Acts.

 

At such closing, the following shall occur:

 

The selling Tenant in Common shall assign to the acquiring Tenant in Common or its designee the selling Tenant in Common’s Interest in accordance with the instructions of the acquiring Tenant in Common, and shall execute and deliver to the acquiring Tenant in Common all documents which may be required to give effect to the disposition and acquisition of such Interest, in each case free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, with covenants of general warranty; and

 

The acquiring Member shall pay to the selling Member the consideration therefor in cash.

 

(f)           Enforcement . It is expressly agreed that the remedy at law for breach of the obligations of the Tenants in Common set forth in this Exhibit E is inadequate in view of (i) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damage to be sustained by reason of the failure of a Tenant in Common to comply fully with such obligations, and (ii) the uniqueness of the Tenants in Common relationships. Accordingly and except as provided in clause (a), each of such obligations shall be, and is hereby expressly made, enforceable by an order of specific performance.

If such Affiliate shall thereafter cease being an Affiliate of such Member while such Affiliate holds such Interest, such cessation shall be a non-permitted Transfer and shall be deemed void ab initio , whereupon the Member having made the Transfer shall, at its own and sole expense, cause such putative transferee to disgorge all economic benefits and otherwise indemnify the Company and the other Members against loss or damage under any Collateral Agreement.

(iv)       Any Transfer by VBells of up to one hundred percent (100%) of its Interest to any Bell Control Party, provided that (i) same does not require any approval by Lender (if approval thereof by Lender is required, then such approval must be obtained as a prerequisite to any such Transfer by VBells) and (ii) satisfactory evidence is provided to Manager confirming the status of such Bell Control Party. Any fees owing to Lender or incurred by Manager relating to such Transfer shall be paid solely by VBells. The Transfer right provided in this Section 12.2(iv) shall not be exercisable if the Property Management Agreement is terminated for any reason. provided however, as to subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii), and as to subparagraph (a), no Transfer shall be permitted and shall be void ab initio if it shall violate any “Transfer” provision of any applicable Collateral Agreement with third party lenders.

 

(c)          Upon the execution by any such BR I Transferee or BR II Transferee or Bell Control Party of such documents necessary to admit such party into the Company and to cause the BR I Transferee or BR II Transferee or Bell Control Party (as applicable) to become bound by this Agreement, the BR I Transferee or BR II Transferee or Bell Control Party (as applicable) shall become a Member, without any further action or authorization by any other Member.

 

12.3         Admission of Transferee; Partial Transfers . Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12 to the contrary and except as provided in Section 5.2(b), no Transfer of Interests in the Company shall be permitted unless the potential transferee is admitted as a Member under this Section 12.3:12.3.

 

(a)          If a Member Transfers all or any portion of its Interest in the Company, such transferee may become a Member if (i) such transferee executes and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, (ii) the transferor and/or transferee pays all reasonable legal and other fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such assignment and substitution and (iii) the transferor and transferee execute such documents and deliver such certificates to the Company and the remaining Members as may be required by applicable law or otherwise advisable; and

 

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer or purported Transfer of any Interest, whether to another Member or to a third party, shall be of no effect and void ab initio , and such transferee shall not become a Member or an owner of the purportedly transferred Interest, if the Manager determines in its sole discretion that:

 

(i)        the Transfer would require registration of any Interest under, or result in a violation of, any federal or state securities laws;

 

25
 

  

(ii)        the Transfer would result in a termination of the Company under Code Section 708(b);

 

(iii)       as a result of such Transfer the Company would be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder;

 

(iv)        if as a result of such Transfer the aggregate value of Interests held by “benefit plan investors” including at least one benefit plan investor that is subject to ERISA, could be “significant” (as such terms are defined in U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101(f)(2)) with the result that the assets of the Company could be deemed to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA;

 

(v)       as a result of such Transfer, the Company would or may have in the aggregate more than one hundred (100) members and material adverse federal income tax consequences would result to a Member. For purposes of determining the number of members under this Section 12.3(b)(v), a Beneficial Owner indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a Flow-Through Entity shall be considered a member, but only if (i) substantially all of the value of the Beneficial Owner’s interest in the Flow-Through Entity is attributable to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Company and (ii) in the sole discretion of the Manager, a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-member limitation; or

 

(vi)        the transferor failed to comply with the provisions of Sections 12.2(a) or (b).

 

The Manager may require the provision of a certificate as to the legal nature and composition of a proposed transferee of an Interest of a Member and from any Member as to its legal nature and composition and shall be entitled to rely on any such certificate in making such determinations under this Section 12.3.

(d)        The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed as follows and in the following order of priority:

For the purposes of this Section 14.2, officers, directors, employees and other representatives of affiliates of a Member who are functioning as representatives of such Member in connection with this Agreement shall be considered representatives of such Member for the purposes of this Section 14. Reasonable expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any such proceeding relating to the foregoing matters shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt by the Company of (x) written affirmation by the Person requesting indemnification of its good faith belief that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (y) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person has not met such standard of conduct, which undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the indemnified party but need not be secured.

 

28
 

  

14.3        General Indemnification by the Members .

 

(a)       Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, each Member (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the other Members, the Manager, the Company and each of their Subsidiaries and their agents, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders and employees (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against all losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of or arising out of (i) any breach of any obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, or (ii) any breach of any obligation by or any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Indemnifying Party, whether in this Agreement or in any other agreement, with respect to the conveyance, assignment, contribution or other transfer of the Property (or interests therein, including the TIC-2 Interest), assets, agreements, rights or other interests conveyed, assigned, contributed or otherwise transferred to the Company (collectively, the “ Inducement Agreements”).

 

(b)      Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other agreement, recourse for the indemnity obligations of the Members under this Section 14.3 shall be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Interest in the Company.

 

(c)      The indemnities, contributions and other obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise. The terms of this Section 14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 15.          Sale Rights .

 

15.1        Push/Pull Rights .

 

(a)          Availability of Rights . At any time that the Members are unable to agree on a Major Decision and such failure to agree has continued for fifteen (15) days after written notice from one Member to the other Members indicating an intention to exercise rights under this Section 15.1, any Member may exercise its right to initiate the provisions of this Section 15.1.

 

(b)          Exercise . The Member wishing to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 15.1 (the “ Offeror ”) shall do so by giving notice to the other such Members (individually and collectively the “ Offerees ”) setting forth a statement of intent to invoke its rights under this Section 15.1, stating therein the aggregate dollar amount (the “ Valuation Amount ”) that the Offeror would be willing to pay for the assets of the Company as of the Closing Date (as defined below) free and clear of all liabilities, and setting forth all oral or written offers and inquiries received by the Offeror during the previous twelve-month period relating to the financing, disposition or leasing of any Company property (including the TIC-2 Interest).

 

29
 

  

(c)           Offeree Response . After receipt of such notice, each of the Offerees shall elect to either (i) sell its entire Interest to the Offeror for an amount equal to the amount such Offeree would have been entitled to receive if the Company had sold its assets for the Valuation Amount on the Closing Date and the Company had immediately paid all Company liabilities and Imputed Closing Costs and distributed the net proceeds of sale to the Members in satisfaction of their Interests pursuant to Section 13.3, or (ii) purchase the entire Interest of the Offeror (or if more than one Offeree elects to purchase the Interest of the Offeror, its prorata share thereof) for an amount equal to the amount the Offeror would have been entitled to receive if the Company had sold all of its assets for the Valuation Amount on the Closing Date and the Company had immediately paid all Company liabilities and Imputed Closing Costs and distributed the net proceeds of the sale to the Members in satisfaction of their Interests pursuant to Section 13.3. Each Offeree shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of the Offeror’s notice in which to exercise either of its options by giving written notice to the Offeror. If any Offeree does not elect to acquire the Offeror’s Interest within such time period, the Offeree shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Interest to the Offeror (or if applicable, the other Offerees) as provided in subsection (i) above.

 

(d)          Earnest Money . Within five (5) business days after an election has been made or deemed made under Section 15.1(c), the acquiring Members shall deposit with a mutually acceptable third-party escrow agent a non-refundable earnest money deposit in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount the selling Members are entitled to receive for their Interest under this Section 15.1, which amount shall be applied to the purchase price for such Interest at closing. If the acquiring Members should thereafter fail to consummate the transaction for any reason other than a default by the selling Members or a refusal by any lender of the Company or any Subsidiary who has a right under its loan documents to consent to such transfer to so consent, (i) (A) the earnest money deposit shall be distributed from escrow to the selling Members (on a pro rata basis), free of all claims of the acquiring Members, as liquidated damages and constituting the sole and exclusive remedy available to the selling Members because of a default by the acquiring Members or (B) the selling Members may, by delivering to the acquiring Members written notice thereof, elect to buy the acquiring Members’ entire Interest for an amount equal to the amount the acquiring Members would have been entitled to receive if the Company had sold all of its assets for the Valuation Amount and the Company had immediately paid all Company liabilities and Imputed Closing Costs and distributed the net proceeds of the sale to the Members in satisfaction of their Interests pursuant to Section 13.3, in which case, the Closing Date therefor shall be the date specified in the selling Members’ notice, and (ii) if the acquiring Members were an Offeror, the non-refundable earnest money deposit for any future election by such acquiring Members to buy the selling Members’ Interest shall be twenty percent (20%) of the amount the selling Members are entitled to receive for their respective Interest in connection with such future election.

 

(e)           Closing . The closing of an acquisition pursuant to this Section 15.1 shall be held at the principal place of business of the Company on a mutually acceptable date (the “ Closing Date ”) not later than sixty (60) days (or, if any Offeree is the acquiring Member, ninety (90) days) after an election has been made or deemed made under Section 15.1(c). At such closing, the following shall occur:

 

(i)      The selling Members shall assign to the acquiring Members or their designees the selling Members’ Interest in accordance with the instructions of the acquiring Members, and shall execute and deliver to the acquiring Members all documents which may be required to give effect to the disposition and acquisition of such Interests, in each case free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, with covenants of general warranty; and

 

30
 

  

(ii)         The acquiring Members shall pay to the selling Members the consideration therefor in cash.

 

15.2        Rights Upon Sale of TIC-2 Interest . Upon any sale of the TIC-2 Interest that is not accompanied by a Dissolution Event, each of Durant, VBells and West (for purposes of this Section 15.2, each a “ Takeout Member ”) shall have the right (the “ Takeout Right ”) to require BR I to acquire its respective Interest by delivering written notice to BR I exercising such right within fifteen (15) days following completion of the sale of the TIC-2 Interest. Provided such Takeout Right has been timely exercised by a Takeout Member, BR I shall be obligated under such circumstances (and only under such circumstances) to purchase the Interest of such Takeout Member. The purchase price for the Interest of such Takeout Member shall be the amount that such Takeout Member would have received had a Dissolution Event occurred immediately after the sale of the TIC-2 Interest. The closing of the acquisition by BR I of the Interest of such Takeout Member shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Sections 15.1(d) and (e) above.

 

15.3        Enforcement . It is expressly agreed that the remedy at law for breach of the obligations of the Members set forth in this Section 15 is inadequate in view of (i) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damage to be sustained by reason of the failure of a Member to comply fully with such obligations, and (ii) the uniqueness of the Company’s business and the Members’ relationships. Accordingly, each of such obligations shall be, and is hereby expressly made, enforceable by an order of specific performance.

ARTICLE 2 - GENERAL MORTGAGE LOAN TERMS

 

Section 2.01         Mortgage Loan Origination and Security.

 

(a)          Making of Mortgage Loan.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender hereby makes the Mortgage Loan to Borrower, and Borrower hereby accepts the Mortgage Loan from Lender. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall:

  

(1)         pay the Indebtedness, including the Prepayment Premium, if any (whether in connection with any voluntary prepayment or in connection with an acceleration by Lender of the Indebtedness), in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(2)         perform, observe, and comply with this Loan Agreement and all other provisions of the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Security for Mortgage Loan.

 

The Mortgage Loan is made pursuant to this Loan Agreement, is evidenced by the Note, and is secured by the Security Instrument, this Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents that are expressly stated to be security for the Mortgage Loan.

 

(c)          Protective Advances.

 

As provided in the Security Instrument, Lender may take such actions or disburse such funds as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform the obligations of Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to protect Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property.

 

Section 2.02         Payments on Mortgage Loan.

 

(a)          Debt Service Payments.

 

(1)         Short Month Interest.

 

If the date the Mortgage Loan proceeds are disbursed is any day other than the first day of the month, interest for the period beginning on the disbursement date and ending on and including the last day of the month in which the disbursement occurs shall be payable by Borrower on the date the Mortgage Loan proceeds are disbursed. In the event that the disbursement date is not the same as the Effective Date, then:

(2)         Interest Accrual and Computation.

 

Except as provided in Section 2.02(a)(1), interest shall be paid in arrears. Interest shall accrue as provided in the Schedule of Interest Rate Type Provisions and shall be computed in accordance with the Interest Accrual Method. If the Interest Accrual Method is “Actual/360,” Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amount allocated to interest for each month will vary depending on the actual number of calendar days during such month.

 

(3)         Monthly Debt Service Payments.

 

Consecutive monthly debt service installments (comprised of either interest only or principal and interest, depending on the Amortization Type), each in the amount of the applicable Monthly Debt Service Payment, shall be due and payable on the First Payment Date, and on each Payment Date thereafter until the Maturity Date, at which time all Indebtedness shall be due. Any regularly scheduled Monthly Debt Service Payment that is received by Lender before the applicable Payment Date shall be deemed to have been received on such Payment Date solely for the purpose of calculating interest due. All payments made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, or other defense.

 

(4)         Payment at Maturity.

 

The unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, any Accrued Interest thereon and all other Indebtedness shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

(5)         Interest Rate Type.

 

See the Schedule of Interest Rate Type Provisions for additional provisions, if any, specific to the Interest Rate Type.

 

(b)          Capitalization of Accrued But Unpaid Interest.

 

Any accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan remaining past due for thirty (30) days or more may, at Lender’s election, be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(c)          Late Charges.

 

(1)         If any Monthly Debt Service Payment due hereunder is not received by Lender within ten (10) days (or fifteen (15) days for any Mortgaged Property located in Mississippi or North Carolina to comply with applicable law) after the applicable Payment Date, or any amount payable under this Loan Agreement (other than the payment due on the Maturity Date for repayment of the Mortgage Loan in full) or any other Loan Document is not received by Lender within ten (10) days (or fifteen (15) days for any Mortgaged Property located in Mississippi or North Carolina to comply with applicable law) after the date such amount is due, inclusive of the date on which such amount is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately without demand by Lender, the Late Charge.

The Late Charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.02(d).

 

(2)         Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(A)         its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Mortgage Loan;

 

(B)         it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses;

 

(C)         Lender is entitled to be compensated for such additional expenses; and

 

(D)         the Late Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date hereof, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of any such late payment.

 

(d)          Default Rate.

 

(1)         Default interest shall be paid as follows:

 

(A)         If any amount due in respect of the Mortgage Loan (other than amounts due on the Maturity Date) remains past due for thirty (30) days or more, interest on such unpaid amount(s) shall accrue from the date payment is due at the Default Rate and shall be payable upon demand by Lender.

 

(B)         If any Indebtedness due is not paid in full on the Maturity Date, then interest shall accrue at the Default Rate on all such unpaid amounts from the Maturity Date until fully paid and shall be payable upon demand by Lender.

 

Absent a demand by Lender, any such amounts shall be payable by Borrower in the same manner as provided for the payment of Monthly Debt Service Payments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest shall also accrue at the Default Rate on any judgment obtained by Lender against Borrower in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

 

(2)         Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(A)         its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Mortgage Loan; and

 

(B)         in connection with any failure to timely pay all amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan on the Maturity Date, or during the time that any amount due in respect of the Mortgage Loan is delinquent for more than thirty (30) days:

 

(i)          Lender’s risk of nonpayment of the Mortgage Loan will be materially increased;

 

(ii)         Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities will be adversely impacted;

(iii)        Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the amounts due;

 

(iv)        it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine such additional costs and expenses;

 

(v)         Lender is entitled to be compensated for such additional risks, costs, and expenses; and

 

(vi)        the increase from the Interest Rate to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the additional risks, costs, and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquency on the Mortgage Loan (taking into account all circumstances existing on the Effective Date).

 

(e)          Address for Payments.

 

All payments due pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be payable at Lender’s Payment Address, or such other place and in such manner as may be designated from time to time by written notice to Borrower by Lender.

 

(f)          Application of Payments.

 

If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any payment in respect of the Indebtedness that is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply such payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender or hold in suspense and not apply such payment at Lender’s election. Neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment that is less than all amounts then due and payable, nor Lender’s application of, or suspension of the application of, such payment, shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such payment to the Indebtedness, Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged.

 

Section 2.03         Lockout/Prepayment.

 

(a)          Prepayment; Prepayment Lockout; Prepayment Premium.

 

(1)         Borrower shall not make a voluntary full or partial prepayment on the Mortgage Loan during any Prepayment Lockout Period nor shall Borrower make a voluntary partial prepayment at any time. Except as expressly provided in this Loan Agreement (including as provided in the Prepayment Premium Schedule), a Prepayment Premium calculated in accordance with the Prepayment Premium Schedule shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(2)         If a Prepayment Lockout Period applies to the Mortgage Loan, and during such Prepayment Lockout Period Lender accelerates the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or otherwise applies collateral held by Lender to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, the Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable and equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the percentage indicated (if at all) in the Prepayment Premium Schedule by the amount of principal being prepaid at the time of such acceleration or application.

(b)          Voluntary Prepayment in Full.

 

At any time after the expiration of any Prepayment Lockout Period, Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Mortgage Loan in full on a Permitted Prepayment Date so long as:

 

(1)         Borrower delivers to Lender a Prepayment Notice specifying the Intended Prepayment Date not more than sixty (60) days, but not less than thirty (30) days (if given via U.S. Postal Service) or twenty (20) days (if given via facsimile, e-mail, or overnight courier) prior to such Intended Prepayment Date; and

 

(2)         Borrower pays to Lender an amount equal to the sum of:

 

(A)         the entire unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; plus

 

(B)         all Accrued Interest (calculated through the last day of the month in which the prepayment occurs); plus

 

(C)         the Prepayment Premium; plus

 

(D)         all other Indebtedness.

 

In connection with any such voluntary prepayment, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that interest shall always be calculated and paid through the last day of the month in which the prepayment occurs (even if the Permitted Prepayment Date for such month is not the last day of such month, or if Lender approves prepayment on an Intended Prepayment Date that is not a Permitted Prepayment Date). Borrower further acknowledges that Lender is not required to accept a voluntary prepayment of the Mortgage Loan on any day other than a Permitted Prepayment Date. However, if Lender does approve an Intended Prepayment Date that is not a Permitted Prepayment Date and accepts a prepayment on such Intended Prepayment Date, such prepayment shall be deemed to be received on the immediately following Permitted Prepayment Date. If Borrower fails to prepay the Mortgage Loan on the Intended Prepayment Date for any reason (including on any Intended Prepayment Date that is approved by Lender) and such failure either continues for five (5) Business Days, or into the following month, Lender shall have the right to recalculate the payoff amount. If Borrower prepays the Mortgage Loan either in the following month or more than five (5) Business Days after the Intended Prepayment Date that was approved by Lender, Lender shall also have the right to recalculate the payoff amount based upon the amount of such payment and the date such payment was received by Lender. Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender any additional amounts required by any such recalculation.

 

(c)          Acceleration of Mortgage Loan.

 

Upon acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender:

 

(1)         the entire unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(2)         all Accrued Interest (calculated through the last day of the month in which the acceleration occurs);

(3)         the Prepayment Premium; and

 

(4)         all other Indebtedness.

 

(d)          Application of Collateral.

 

Any application by Lender of any collateral or other security to the repayment of all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a prepayment by Borrower. Any such prepayment shall require the payment to Lender by Borrower of the Prepayment Premium calculated on the amount being prepaid in accordance with this Loan Agreement.

 

(e)          Casualty and Condemnation.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Loan Agreement to the contrary, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable with respect to any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any insurance proceeds or amounts received in connection with a Condemnation Action in accordance with this Loan Agreement.

 

(f)          No Effect on Payment Obligations.

 

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement, any prepayment required by any Loan Document of less than the entire unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent Monthly Debt Service Payments, Monthly Replacement Reserve Deposit, or other payment, or change the amount of any such payments or deposits.

 

(g)          Loss Resulting from Prepayment.

 

In any circumstance in which a Prepayment Premium is due under this Loan Agreement, Borrower acknowledges that:

 

(1)         any prepayment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, or following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional risk, expense, and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties;

 

(2)         it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such losses, risks, and damages;

 

(3)         the formula for calculating the Prepayment Premium represents a reasonable estimate of the losses, risks, and damages Lender will incur as a result of a prepayment; and

 

(4)         the provisions regarding the Prepayment Premium contained in this Loan Agreement are a material part of the consideration for the Mortgage Loan, and that the terms of the Mortgage Loan are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of Borrower’s voluntary agreement to such prepayment provisions.

Borrower acknowledges that any failure OF BORROWER to comply with THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.02( a ) or SECTION 9.02( b)(3) above shall permit lender to purchase the applicable insurance at Borrower’s cost. Such insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interests. The coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property. If Lender purchases insurance for the Mortgaged Property as permitted hereunder, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest at the Default Rate and any other charges Lender may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to Borrower’s total outstanding balance or obligation and shall constitute additional Indebtedness. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Application of Proceeds on Event of Loss.

 

(1)         Upon an event of loss, Lender may, at Lender’s option:

(B)         apply such proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due; provided , however , Lender shall not apply insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness and shall permit Restoration pursuant to Section 9.03(b)(1)(A) if all of the following conditions are met:

 

(i)          no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or any event which, with the giving of written notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing);

 

(ii)         Lender determines that the combination of insurance proceeds and amounts provided by Borrower will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration;

 

(iii)        Lender determines that the net operating income generated by the Mortgaged Property after completion of the Restoration will be sufficient to support a debt service coverage ratio not less than the debt service coverage ratio immediately prior to the event of loss, but in no event less than 1.0x (the debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated on a thirty (30) year amortizing basis (if applicable, on a proforma basis approved by Lender) in all events and shall include all operating costs and other expenses, Imposition Deposits, deposits to Collateral Accounts, and Mortgage Loan repayment obligations);

(iv)        Lender determines that the Restoration will be completed before the earlier of (1) one year before the stated Maturity Date, or (2) one year after the date of the loss or casualty; and

 

(v)         Borrower provides Lender, upon written request, evidence of the availability during and after the Restoration of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Loan Agreement.

 

After the completion of Restoration in accordance with the above requirements, as determined by Lender, the balance, if any, of such proceeds shall be returned to Borrower.

 

(2)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any loss is estimated to be in an amount equal to or less than $50,000, Lender shall not exercise its rights and remedies as power-of-attorney herein and shall allow Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of property damage insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such policies of property damage insurance, and to collect and receive the proceeds of property damage insurance; provided that each of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

 

(A)         Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the casualty giving rise to the claim;

 

(B)         no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or any event which, with the giving of written notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing);

  

(C)         the Restoration will be completed before the earlier of (i) one year before the stated Maturity Date, or (ii) one year after the date of the loss or casualty;

 

(D)         Lender determines that the combination of insurance proceeds and amounts provided by Borrower will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration;

 

(E)         all proceeds of property damage insurance shall be issued in the form of joint checks to Borrower and Lender;

 

(F)         all proceeds of property damage insurance shall be applied to the Restoration;

 

(G)         Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender of completion of the Restoration and obtainment of all lien releases;

 

(H)         Borrower shall have complied to Lender’s satisfaction with the foregoing requirements on any prior claims subject to this provision, if any; and

(I)         Lender shall have the right to inspect the Mortgaged Property (subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases).

 

(3)         If Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not be obligated to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property. Rather, Borrower shall restrict access to the damaged portion of the Mortgaged Property and, at its expense and regardless of whether such costs are covered by insurance, clean up any debris resulting from the casualty event, and, if required or otherwise permitted by Lender, demolish or raze any remaining part of the damaged Mortgaged Property to the extent necessary to keep and maintain the Mortgaged Property in a safe, habitable, and marketable condition. Nothing in this Section 9.03(b) shall affect any of Lender’s remedial rights against Borrower in connection with a breach by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any Loan Document, including any failure to timely pay Monthly Debt Service Payments or maintain the insurance coverage(s) required by this Loan Agreement.

 

(c)          Payment Obligations Unaffected.

 

The application of any insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness shall not extend or postpone the Maturity Date, or the due date or the full payment of any Monthly Debt Service Payment, Monthly Replacement Reserve Deposit, or any other installments referred to in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender applies insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness in connection with a casualty of less than the entire Mortgaged Property, and after such application of proceeds the debt service coverage ratio (as determined by Lender) is less than 1.25x based on the then-applicable Monthly Debt Service Payment and the anticipated on-going net operating income of the Mortgaged Property after such casualty event, then Lender may, at its discretion, permit an adjustment to the Monthly Debt Service Payments that become due and owing thereafter, based on Lender’s then-current underwriting requirements. In no event shall the preceding sentence obligate Lender to make any adjustment to the Monthly Debt Service Payments.

  

(d)          Foreclosure Sale.

 

If the Mortgaged Property is transferred pursuant to a Foreclosure Event or Lender otherwise acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned insurance premiums applicable to the Mortgaged Property and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Mortgaged Property prior to such Foreclosure Event or such acquisition.

 

(e)          Appointment of Lender as Attorney-In-Fact.

 

Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney-in-fact pursuant to Section 14.03(c).

Lender shall maintain records of the monthly and aggregate Imposition Deposits held by Lender for the purpose of paying Taxes, insurance premiums, and each other obligation of Borrower for which Imposition Deposits are required.

 

(b)          Imposition Accounts.

 

All Imposition Deposits shall be held in an institution (which may be Lender, if Lender is such an institution) whose deposits or accounts are insured or guaranteed by a federal agency and which accounts meet the standards for custodial accounts as required by Lender from time to time. Lender shall not be obligated to open additional accounts, or deposit Imposition Deposits in additional institutions, when the amount of the Imposition Deposits exceeds the maximum amount of the federal deposit insurance or guaranty. No interest, earnings, or profits on the Imposition Deposits shall be paid to Borrower unless applicable law so requires.

(c)          Payment of Impositions; Sufficiency of Imposition Deposits.

 

Lender may pay an Imposition according to any bill, statement, or estimate from the appropriate public office or insurance company without inquiring into the accuracy of the bill, statement, or estimate or into the validity of the Imposition. Imposition Deposits shall be required to be used by Lender to pay Taxes, insurance premiums and any other individual Imposition only if:

 

(1)         no Event of Default exists;

 

(2)         Borrower has timely delivered to Lender all applicable bills or premium notices that it has received; and

 

(3)         sufficient Imposition Deposits are held by Lender for each Imposition at the time such Imposition becomes due and payable.

Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for failing to pay any Imposition if any of the conditions are not satisfied. If at any time the amount of the Imposition Deposits held for payment of a specific Imposition exceeds the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to be held in connection with such Imposition, the excess may be credited against future installments of Imposition Deposits for such Imposition.

 

(d)          Imposition Deposits Upon Event of Default.

 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any Imposition Deposits, in such amount and in such order as Lender determines, to pay any Impositions or as a credit against the Indebtedness.

 

(e)          Contesting Impositions.

 

Other than insurance premiums, Borrower may contest, at its expense, by appropriate legal proceedings, the amount or validity of any Imposition if:

 

(1)         Borrower notifies Lender of the commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings;

 

(2)         Lender determines that the Mortgaged Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited;

 

(3)         Borrower deposits with Lender (or the applicable Governmental Authority if required by applicable law) reserves sufficient to pay the contested Imposition, if required by Lender (or the applicable Governmental Authority);

(4)         Insufficient Funds.

 

Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower, require an additional deposit(s) to the Replacement Reserve Account or Repairs Escrow Account, or an increase in the amount of the Monthly Replacement Reserve Deposit, if Lender determines that the amounts on deposit in either the Replacement Reserve Account or the Repairs Escrow Account are not sufficient to cover the costs for Required Repairs or Required Replacements or, pursuant to the terms of Section 13.02(a)(9), not sufficient to cover the costs for Borrower Requested Repairs, Additional Lender Repairs, Borrower Requested Replacements, or Additional Lender Replacements.

Section 14.02         Remedies.

 

(a)          Acceleration; Foreclosure.

 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, any Accrued Interest, interest accruing at the Default Rate, the Prepayment Premium (if applicable), and all other Indebtedness, at the option of Lender, shall immediately become due and payable, without any prior written notice to Borrower, unless applicable law requires otherwise (and in such case, after any required written notice has been given). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. In addition, Lender shall have all rights and remedies afforded to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, foreclosure on and/or the power of sale of the Mortgaged Property, as provided in the Security Instrument, and any rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity (subject to Borrower’s statutory rights of reinstatement, if any, prior to a Foreclosure Event). Any proceeds of a foreclosure or other sale under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document may be held and applied by Lender as additional collateral for the Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event shall automatically accelerate the Mortgage Loan and all obligations and Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable without written notice or further action by Lender.

  

(b)          Loss of Right to Disbursements from Collateral Accounts.

 

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall immediately lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve/Escrow Accounts and any Collateral Accounts. During the continuance of any such Event of Default, Lender may use the Reserve/Escrow Account Funds and any Collateral Account Funds (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including:

 

(1)         repayment of the Indebtedness, including principal prepayments and the Prepayment Premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment, as applicable (however, such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default);

 

(2)         reimbursement of Lender for all losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default;

 

(3)         completion of the Replacement or Repair or for any other replacement or repair to the Mortgaged Property; and

 

(4)         payment of any amount expended in exercising (and the exercise of) all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Nothing in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve/Escrow Account Funds or Collateral Account Funds on account of any Event of Default by Borrower or to repayment of the Indebtedness or in any specific order of priority.

(c)          Remedies Cumulative.

 

Each right and remedy provided in this Loan Agreement is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or afforded by applicable law, and each shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of additional default by Borrower in order to exercise any of its remedies with respect to an Event of Default.

 

Section 14.03         Additional Lender Rights; Forbearance.

 

(a)          No Effect Upon Obligations.

 

Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, agree with Borrower, from time to time, and without giving notice to, or obtaining the consent of, or having any effect upon the obligations of, Guarantor, Key Principal, or other third party obligor, to take any of the following actions:

 

(1)         the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness may be extended, or the Indebtedness may be renewed in whole or in part;

 

(2)         the rate of interest on or period of amortization of the Mortgage Loan or the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payments payable under the Loan Documents may be modified;

  

(3)         the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived;

 

(4)         any or all payments due under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document may be reduced;

 

(5)         any Loan Document may be modified or amended by Lender and Borrower in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(6)         any amounts under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document may be released;

 

(7)         any security for the Indebtedness may be modified, exchanged, released, surrendered, or otherwise dealt with, or additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness;

 

(8)         the payment of the Indebtedness or any security for the Indebtedness, or both, may be subordinated to the right to payment or the security, or both, of any other present or future creditor of Borrower; or

 

(9)         any other terms of the Loan Documents may be modified.

(b)          No Waiver of Rights or Remedies.

 

Any waiver of an Event of Default or forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of any other Event of Default or preclude the exercise or failure to exercise of any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise or failure to exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any insurance proceeds or amounts in connection with a Condemnation Action shall not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

 

(c)          Appointment of Lender as Attorney-In-Fact.

 

Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Lender (and any officer of Lender or any Person designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in Borrower’s name, place, and stead, with full power of substitution, to:

 

(1)         use any of the funds in the Replacement Reserve Account or Repairs Escrow Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements or Repairs;

 

(2)         make such additions, changes, and corrections to the Replacements or Repairs as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements or Repairs;

  

(3)         employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects, and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes;

 

(4)         pay, settle, or compromise all bills and claims for materials and work performed in connection with the Replacements or Repairs, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements or Repairs, or for clearance of title;

 

(5)         adjust and compromise any claims under any and all policies of insurance required pursuant to this Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document, subject only to Borrower’s rights under this Loan Agreement;

 

(6)         appear in and prosecute any action arising from any insurance policies;

 

(7)         collect and receive the proceeds of insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds;

 

(8)         commence, appear in, and prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation;

 

(9)         settle or compromise any claim in connection with any condemnation;

(12)        take such actions as are permitted in this Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents;

 

(13)        execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as Lender may require to perfect and preserve Lender’s security interest in, and to enforce such interests in, the collateral; and

Borrower hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable and shall not be affected by the disability or incompetence of Borrower. Borrower specifically acknowledges and agrees that this power of attorney granted to Lender may be assigned by Lender to Lender’s successors or assigns as holder of the Note (and the other Loan Documents). The foregoing powers conferred on Lender under this Section 14.03(c) shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers and shall not require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents.

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Lender shall not exercise its rights as set forth in this Section 14.03(c) unless: (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (B) Lender determines, in its discretion, that exigent circumstances exist or that such exercise is necessary or prudent in order to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property, or Lender’s lien priority and security interest in the Mortgaged Property.

 

(d)          Borrower Waivers.

 

If more than one Person signs this Loan Agreement as Borrower, each Borrower, with respect to any other Borrower, hereby agrees that Lender, in its discretion, may:

(2)         compromise or settle with any one or more of the persons constituting Borrower, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper;

 

(3)         release one or more of the persons constituting Borrower, from liability; or

 

(4)         otherwise deal with Borrower, or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from any Borrower the full amount of the Indebtedness.

Section 14.04         Waiver of Marshaling.

 

Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable law. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which all or any part of the Indebtedness is satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Borrower and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Loan Agreement waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided in this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

 

Lender shall account for any moneys received by Lender in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of collateral hereunder and under the other Loan Documents provided that Lender shall not have any duty as to any collateral, and Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF LENDER OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO BORROWER (A) FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED PURSUANT TO A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE COURT ORDER BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR (B) FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

2. Prepayment Premium.

 

Any Prepayment Premium payable under Section 2.03 (Lockout/Prepayment) of the Loan Agreement shall be computed as follows:

 

(a)          If the prepayment is made at any time after the Effective Date and before the Yield Maintenance Period End Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be the greater of:

 

(1)         one percent (1%) of the amount of principal being prepaid; or

 

(2)         the product obtained by multiplying:

 

(i)           the amount of principal being prepaid,

 

by

Fixed Rate)
Fannie Mae

For purposes of this clause (2), the “ Yield Rate ” means the yield calculated by interpolating the yields for the immediately shorter and longer term U.S. “Treasury constant maturities” (as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 Selected Interest Rates (the “ Fed Release ”) under the heading “U.S. government securities”) closest to the remaining term of the Yield Maintenance Period Term, as follows (rounded to three (3) decimal places):

 

 

a =         the yield for the longer U.S. Treasury constant maturity

b =         the yield for the shorter U.S. Treasury constant maturity

x =         the term of the longer U.S. Treasury constant maturity

y =         the term of the shorter U.S. Treasury constant maturity

z =         “n” (as defined in the present value factor calculation above) divided by twelve (12).

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if “ z ” equals a term reported under the U.S. “Treasury constant maturities” subheading in the Fed Release, the yield for such term shall be used, and interpolation shall not be necessary. If publication of the Fed Release is discontinued by the Federal Reserve Board, Lender shall determine the Yield Rate from another source selected by Lender. Any determination of the Yield Rate by Lender will be binding absent manifest error.]

 

(b)          If the prepayment is made on or after the Yield Maintenance Period End Date but before the last calendar day of the fourth (4th) month prior to the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, the Prepayment Premium shall be one percent (1%) of the amount of principal being prepaid.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03 (Lockout/Prepayment) of the Loan Agreement, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable with respect to any prepayment made on or after the last calendar day of the fourth (4th) month prior to the month in which the Maturity Date occurs.

Section 16.03 Subordination of the Tenancy-in-Common Agreement.

 

It is specifically agreed by Borrower and each Co-Tenant that the Tenancy-in-Common Agreement and all rights, remedies and indemnities benefiting Borrower or each Co-Tenant thereunder, the Mortgaged Property or the ownership or operation thereof are hereby expressly made fully junior, secondary, subject and subordinate to the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, including any future advances made by Lender. Each Co-Tenant further subordinates and hereby makes junior, secondary and subject any and all purchase options, rights of first refusal and rights to purchase the Mortgaged Property or any right or interest therein, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including, without limitation, any rights arising under the Insolvency Laws) to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. To the extent that any one or more Co-Tenant has or in the future obtains any lien or similar interest whatsoever in or to the Mortgaged Property, or any right or interest therein, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such lien or other similar interest shall be and hereby is waived in its entirety until the Indebtedness is paid in full. Each Co-Tenant further agrees and covenants that prior to the full and final payment of the Indebtedness and the written final release and discharge of the Indebtedness by Lender, each Co-Tenant will not pursue any remedies against one another to which it may be entitled pursuant to the Tenancy-in-Common Agreement or to which it may be entitled at law or in equity without Lender’s prior written consent, other than the right expressly set forth in the Tenancy-in-Common Agreement to purchase the interest of another Co-Tenant, to reduce the interest of another Co-Tenant, or (subject to the provisions in Section 16.04 (Bankruptcy) below) the right to seek contribution from another Co-Tenant.

Each Co-Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the detriment to the interest of each other Co-Tenant outweighs the benefit to such Co-Tenant.

 

(2)         assigns to Lender, as additional security for the Indebtedness, its right to reject or ratify the Tenancy-in-Common Agreement under the Insolvency Laws.

 

(b)          Neither Borrower nor any Co-Tenant shall have any right of, and each hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against any Co-Tenant or any general partner, member or manager of a Co-Tenant by reason of any payment by Borrower or by any Co-Tenant of the Indebtedness, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute, until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower or such Co-Tenant to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the Insolvency Laws.

 

(c)          If any payment by a Co-Tenant is held to constitute a preference under the Insolvency Laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to a Co-Tenant, such refund shall not constitute a release of any liability of Borrower under the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Documents. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower that Borrower’s obligations under the Note, the Security Instrument and any other Loan Documents shall not be discharged except by Borrower’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

RECITALS :

 

A.           Pursuant to that certain Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and between BR FOX HILLS TIC-1, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company and BR FOX HILLS TIC-2, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company, as tenants in common (individually and together, “ Borrower ”) and Lender (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”), Lender is making a loan to Borrower in the original principal amount of Twenty-Six Million Seven Hundred Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($26,705,000.00) (the “ Mortgage Loan ”), as evidenced by that certain Multifamily Note dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Lender in the amount of the Mortgage Loan (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Note ”).

 

B.           The Note will be secured by, among other things, a Security Instrument (as defined in the Loan Agreement) encumbering the real property described in the Security Instrument (the “ Property ”).

 

C.           Guarantor has an economic interest in Borrower or will otherwise obtain a material financial benefit from the Mortgage Loan.

 

D.           As a condition to making the Mortgage Loan to Borrower, Lender requires that Guarantor execute this Guaranty.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Mortgage Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

AGREEMENTS :

 

1.            Recitals.

 

The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth in the body of this Guaranty.

 

2.            Defined Terms.

 

Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be secured by the Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement.

7.            Continuing Guaranty.

 

The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any provision of this Guaranty, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.

(a)          any furnishing, exchange, substitution or release of any collateral securing repayment of the Mortgage Loan, or any failure to perfect any lien in such collateral;

 

(b)          any failure, omission or delay on the part of Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder or Lender to conform or comply with any term of any of the Loan Documents or failure of Lender to give notice of any Event of Default;

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest without the signature of Borrower. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC or otherwise provided at law or in equity, in addition to all remedies provided by this Security Instrument and in any Loan Document.

(c)          All property of every kind acquired by Borrower after the date of this Security Instrument which by the terms of this Security Instrument shall be subject to the lien and the security interest created hereby, shall immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Borrower and without further conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security interest created by this Security Instrument. Nevertheless, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such further deeds of trust, mortgages, deeds to secure debt, security agreements, financing statements, assignments and assurances as Lender shall require for accomplishing the purposes of this Security Instrument and to comply with the rerecording requirements of the UCC.

 

3.           Assignment of Leases and Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession.

 

(a)          As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Leases and Rents. It is the intention of Borrower to establish present, absolute and irrevocable transfers and assignments to Lender of all Leases and Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. Borrower and Lender intend the assignments of Leases and Rents to be effective immediately and to constitute absolute present assignments, and not assignments for additional security only. Only for purposes of giving effect to these absolute assignments of Leases and Rents, and for no other purpose, the Leases and Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if these present, absolute and unconditional assignments of Leases and Rents are not enforceable by their terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then each of the Leases and Rents shall be included as part of the Mortgaged Property, and it is the intention of Borrower, in such circumstance, that this Security Instrument create and perfect a lien on each of the Leases and Rents in favor of Lender, which liens shall be effective as of the date of this Security Instrument.

 

(b)          Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have a revocable license to exercise all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under the Leases (including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease, extend or terminate any Lease, or enter into new Leases, subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Documents), and to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender, and to apply all Rents to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payments and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities and Impositions (to the extent not included in Imposition Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained and distributed by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Security Instrument.

 

(c)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, the revocable license granted to Borrower pursuant to Section 3(b) shall automatically terminate, and Lender shall immediately have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease) and, without notice, Lender shall be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender, and Borrower shall, upon Borrower’s receipt of any Rents from any sources, pay the total amount of such receipts to Lender. Although the foregoing rights of Lender are self-effecting, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may make demand for all Rents, and Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender. No tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and no tenant shall be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts that are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit.

(d)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower, and even in the absence of waste, enter upon, take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property, and may exclude Borrower and its agents and employees therefrom, in order to perform all acts that Lender, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents (including through use of a lockbox, at Lender’s election), the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing this assignment of Rents, protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Security Instrument and the Mortgage Loan, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding any other right provided Lender under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or Borrower’s solvency, and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in Section 3. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Security Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte , if permitted by applicable law. Borrower consents to shortened time consideration of a motion to appoint a receiver. Lender or the receiver, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property and such fee shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness. Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or Lender’s entry upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, possession of the Mortgaged Property and all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits and prepaid Rents, shall be surrendered to Lender or the receiver, as applicable.  If Lender or receiver takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Lender or receiver may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property.

 

(f)          The acceptance by Lender of the assignments of the Leases and Rents pursuant to this Section 3 shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under any Loan Document or to expend any money or to incur any expense. Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in, on or about the Mortgaged Property. Prior to Lender’s actual entry upon and taking possession and control of the Land and Improvements, Lender shall not be:

 

Fannie Mae Multifamily Security Instrument Form 6025.TX Page 8
Texas 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

 

(1)         obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease);

 

(2)         obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Lease or the Mortgaged Property; or

 

(3)         responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

 

The execution of this Security Instrument shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking possession and control by Lender of the Land and Improvements.

 

(g)          Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for Rents actually received by Lender. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property by reason of any act or omission of Lender under this Section 3, and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that Lender shall not be released from liability that occurs as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable court order. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall be added to, and become a part of, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, be immediately due and payable, and bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until fully paid. Any entering upon and taking control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, and any application of Rents as provided in this Security Instrument, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Security Instrument or any Loan Document.

 

4.           Protection of Lender’s Security.

 

If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or any action or proceeding is commenced that purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security, rights or interests under this Security Instrument or any Loan Document (including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Environmental Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a debtor or decedent), Lender may, at its option, make such appearances, disburse or pay such sums and take such actions, whether before or after an Event of Default or whether directly or to any receiver for the Mortgaged Property, as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect the Mortgaged Property or Lender’s security, rights or interests in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgage Loan, including:

 

(a)          paying fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys, accountants, inspectors and consultants;

 

(b)          entering upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property;

 

(c)          obtaining (or force-placing) the insurance required by the Loan Documents; and

Texas 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

 

(d)          paying any amounts required under any of the Loan Documents that Borrower has failed to pay.

 

Any amounts so disbursed or paid by Lender shall be added to, and become part of, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, be immediately due and payable and bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until fully paid. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to obligate or require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

 

5.           Default; Acceleration; Remedies.

 

(a)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender, at its option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (1) to enforce payment of the Mortgage Loan; (2) to foreclose this Security Instrument judicially or non-judicially by the power of sale granted herein; (3) to enforce or exercise any right under any Loan Document; and (4) to pursue any one (1)or more other remedies provided in this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law. Each right and remedy provided in this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, and each shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order. Borrower has the right to bring an action to assert the nonexistence of an Event of Default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and sale.

 

(b)          Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Security Instrument may be exercised or directed by Lender without prior judicial hearing. In the event Lender invokes the power of sale:

 

(1)         Lender may, by and through the Trustee, or otherwise, sell or offer for sale the Mortgaged Property in such portions, order and parcels as Lender may determine, with or without having first taken possession of the Mortgaged Property, to the highest bidder for cash at public auction. Such sale shall be made at the courthouse door of the county in which all or any part of the Mortgaged Property to be sold is situated (whether the parts or parcel, if any, situated in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the necessity of having any Personalty present at such sale) on the first Tuesday of any month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., after advertising the time, place and terms of sale and that portion of the Mortgaged Property to be sold by posting or causing to be posted written or printed notice of sale at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the sale at the courthouse door of the county in which the sale is to be made and at the courthouse door of any other county in which a portion of the Mortgaged Property may be situated, and by filing such notice with the County Clerk(s) of the county(s) in which all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property may be situated, which notice may be posted and filed by the Trustee acting, or by any person acting for the Trustee, and Lender has, at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the sale, served written or printed notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the Indebtedness according to Lender’s records by the deposit of such notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at debtor’s most recent address as shown by Lender’s records, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service;

(2)         Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at the sale, within a reasonable time after the sale, a deed conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold in fee simple with covenants of general warranty. Borrower covenants and agrees to defend generally the purchaser’s title to the Mortgaged Property against all claims and demands. The recitals in Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements contained in those recitals;

 

(3)         Trustee shall be entitled to receive fees and expenses from such sale not to exceed the amount permitted by applicable law; and

 

(4)         Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument and Lender so purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to be credited upon the amount of the bid made therefor by Lender with the amount payable to Lender out of the net proceeds of such sale. In the event of any such sale, the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the other Indebtedness, if not previously due, shall be and become immediately due and payable without demand or notice of any kind. If the Mortgaged Property is sold for an amount less than the amount outstanding under the Indebtedness, the deficiency shall be determined by the purchase price at the sale or sales. Borrower waives all rights, claims, and defenses with respect to Lender’s ability to obtain a deficiency judgment.

 

(c)          Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the proceeds of any sale shall be applied as determined by Lender unless otherwise required by applicable law.

 

(d)          In connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Security Instrument and any other Loan Document, there shall be allowed and included as Indebtedness: (1) all expenditures and expenses authorized by applicable law and all other expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender for reasonable legal fees, appraisal fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographic charges and publication costs; (2) all expenses of any environmental site assessments, environmental audits, environmental remediation costs, appraisals, surveys, engineering studies, wetlands delineations, flood plain studies, and any other similar testing or investigation deemed necessary or advisable by Lender incurred in preparation for, contemplation of or in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; and (3) costs (which may be reasonably estimated as to items to be expended in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents) of procuring all abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurance with respect to title as Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute any suit or to evidence the true conditions of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property to bidders at any sale which may be held in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. All expenditures and expenses of the nature mentioned in this Section 5, and such other expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Mortgaged Property and rents and income therefrom and the maintenance of the lien of this Security Instrument, including the fees of any attorney employed by Lender in any litigation or proceedings affecting this Security Instrument, the Note, the other Loan Documents, or the Mortgaged Property, including bankruptcy proceedings, any Foreclosure Event, or in preparation of the commencement or defense of any proceedings or threatened suit or proceeding, or otherwise in dealing specifically therewith, shall be so much additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower, with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid.

(e)          If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is sold pursuant to this Section 5, Borrower will be divested of any and all interest and claim to the Mortgaged Property, including any interest or claim to all insurance policies, utility deposits, bonds, loan commitments and other intangible property included as a part of the Mortgaged Property. Additionally, after a sale of all or any part of the Land, Improvements, Fixtures and Personalty, Borrower will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser of the same, and the purchaser shall be entitled to immediate possession of such property. If Borrower shall fail to vacate the Mortgaged Property immediately, the purchaser may and shall have the right, without further notice to Borrower, to go into any justice court in any precinct or county in which the Mortgaged Property is located and file an action in forcible entry and detainer, which action shall lie against Borrower or its assigns or legal representatives, as a tenant at sufferance. This remedy is cumulative of any and all remedies the purchaser may have under this Security Instrument or otherwise.

 

(f)          In any action for a deficiency after a foreclosure under this Security Instrument, if any person against whom recovery is sought requests the court in which the action is pending to determine the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, as of the date of the foreclosure sale, the following shall be the basis of the court’s determination of fair market value; provided that Borrower and any guarantor hereby waive any rights to contest the amount of the deficiency claim afforded to Borrower and such guarantor under Tex. Prop. Code Sections 51.003; 51.004 and 51.005; in the event the waiver of such provision is held invalid, that the valuation method as currently set forth below shall be used;

 

(1)         the Mortgaged Property shall be valued “as is” and in its condition as of the date of foreclosure, and no assumption of increased value because of post-foreclosure repairs, refurbishment, restorations or improvements shall be made;

 

(2)         any adverse effect on the marketability of title because of the foreclosure or because of any other title condition not existing as of the date of this Security Instrument shall be considered;

 

(3)         the valuation of the Mortgaged Property shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a prompt resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash within a six (6) month period after foreclosure;

 

(4)         although the Mortgaged Property may be disposed of more quickly by the foreclosure purchaser, the gross valuation of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of foreclosure shall be discounted for a hypothetical reasonable holding period (not to exceed six (6) months) at a monthly rate equal to the average monthly interest rate on the Note for the twelve (12) months before the date of foreclosure;

 

(5)         the gross valuation of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of foreclosure shall be further discounted and reduced by reasonable estimated costs of disposition, including brokerage commissions, title policy premiums, environmental assessment and clean-up costs, tax and assessment, prorations, costs to comply with legal requirements, and attorneys’ fees;

Texas 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

 

(6)         expert opinion testimony shall be considered only from a licensed appraiser certified by the State of Texas and, to the extent permitted under Texas law, a member of the Appraisal Institute, having at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property in the county where the Mortgaged Property is located, and who has conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property taking into considerations the factors set forth in this Security Instrument; no expert opinion testimony shall be considered without such written appraisal;

 

(7)         evidence of comparable sales shall be considered only if also included in the expert opinion testimony and written appraisal referred to in the preceding paragraph; and

 

(8)         an affidavit executed by Lender to the effect that the foreclosure bid accepted by Trustee was equal to or greater than the value of the Mortgaged Property determined by Lender based upon the factors and methods set forth in subparagraphs (1) through (7) above before the foreclosure shall constitute prima facie evidence that the foreclosure bid was equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property on the foreclosure date.

 

(g)          Lender may, at Lender’s option, comply with these provisions in the manner permitted or required by Title 5, Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code (relating to the sale of real estate) or by Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (relating to the sale of collateral after default by a debtor), as those titles and chapters now exist or may be amended or succeeded in the future, or by any other present or future articles or enactments relating to same subject. Unless expressly excluded, the Mortgaged Property shall include Rents collected before a foreclosure sale, but attributable to the period following the foreclosure sale, and Borrower shall pay such Rents to the purchaser at such sale. At any such sale:

 

(1)         whether made under the power contained in this Security Instrument, Section 51.002, the Texas Business and Commerce Code, any other legal requirement or by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, it shall not be necessary for Trustee to have physically present, or to have constructive possession of, the Mortgaged Property (Borrower shall deliver to Trustee any portion of the Mortgaged Property not actually or constructively possessed by Trustee immediately upon demand by Trustee) and the title to and right of possession of any such Mortgaged Property shall pass to the purchaser as completely as if the Mortgaged Property had been actually present and delivered to the purchaser at the sale;

 

(2)         each instrument of conveyance executed by Trustee shall contain a general warranty of title, binding upon Borrower;

 

(3)         the recitals contained in any instrument of conveyance made by Trustee shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters recited in the Instrument, including nonpayment of the Indebtedness and the advertisement and conduct of the sale in the manner provided in this Security Instrument and otherwise by law and the appointment of any successor Trustee;

 

(4)         all prerequisites to the validity of the sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been satisfied;

Texas 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

 

(5)         the receipt of Trustee or of such other party or officer making the sale shall be sufficient to discharge to the purchaser or purchasers for such purchaser(s)’ purchase money, and no such purchaser or purchasers, or such purchaser(s)’ assigns or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication of such purchase money; and

 

(6)         to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of Borrower’s right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the Mortgaged Property sold, and such sale shall be a perpetual bar to any claim to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property sold, both at law and in equity, against Borrower and against any person claiming by, through or under Borrower.

 

(h)          Any action taken by Trustee or Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5 shall comply with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. Such applicable laws shall take precedence over the provisions of this Section 5, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of any Loan Document that can be construed in a manner consistent with any applicable law. If any provision of this Security Instrument shall grant to Lender (including Lender acting as a mortgagee-in-possession), Trustee or a receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument any powers, rights or remedies prior to, upon, during the continuance of or following an Event of Default that are more limited than the powers, rights, or remedies that would otherwise be vested in such party under any applicable law in the absence of said provision, such party shall be vested with the powers, rights, and remedies granted in such applicable law to the full extent permitted by law.

 

6.           Waiver of Statute of Limitations and Marshaling.

 

Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Security Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Instrument and/or any other Loan Document or by applicable law. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Borrower, for itself and all who may claim by, through, or under it, and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Security Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels (at the same time or different times) in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or afforded by applicable law.

 

7.           Waiver of Redemption; Rights of Tenants.

 

(a)          Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time apply for, insist upon, plead, avail itself, or in any manner claim or take any advantage of, any appraisement, stay, exemption or extension law or any so-called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time hereafter enacted or in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Security Instrument. Without limiting the foregoing:

 

Fannie Mae Multifamily Security Instrument Form 6025.TX Page 14
Texas 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

 

(1)         Borrower for itself and all Persons who may claim by, through, or under Borrower, hereby expressly waives any so-called “Moratorium Law” and any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption, if any, under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, it being the intent hereof that any and all such “Moratorium Laws,” and all rights of reinstatement and redemption of Borrower and of all other Persons claiming by, through, or under Borrower are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;

 

(2)         Borrower shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any right, power remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Lender but will suffer and permit the execution of every such right, power and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted; and

 

(3)         if Borrower is a trust, Borrower represents that the provisions of this Section 7 (including the waiver of reinstatement and redemption rights) were made at the express direction of Borrower’s beneficiaries and the persons having the power of direction over Borrower, and are made on behalf of the trust estate of Borrower and all beneficiaries of Borrower, as well as all other persons mentioned above.

 

(b)          Lender shall have the right to foreclose subject to the rights of any tenant or tenants of the Mortgaged Property having an interest in the Mortgaged Property prior to that of Lender. The failure to join any such tenant or tenants of the Mortgaged Property as party defendant or defendants in any such civil action or the failure of any decree of foreclosure and sale to foreclose their rights shall not be asserted by Borrower as a defense in any civil action instituted to collect the Indebtedness, or any part thereof or any deficiency remaining unpaid after foreclosure and sale of the Mortgaged Property, any statute or rule of law at any time existing to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

8.           Notice.

 

(a)          All notices under this Security Instrument shall be:

 

(1)         in writing, and shall be (A) delivered, in person, (B) mailed, postage prepaid, either by registered or certified delivery, return receipt requested, or (C) sent by overnight express courier;

 

(2)         addressed to the intended recipient at its respective address set forth at the end of this Security Instrument; and

 

(3)         deemed given on the earlier to occur of:

 

(A)         the date when the notice is received by the addressee; or

(b)          Any party to this Security Instrument may change the address to which notices intended for it are to be directed by means of notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section 8.

 

(c)          Any required notice under this Security Instrument which does not specify how notices are to be given shall be given in accordance with this Section 8.

 

9.           Mortgagee-in-Possession.

 

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred in this Security Instrument shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

 

10.          Release.

 

Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender shall cause the release of this Security Instrument and Borrower shall pay Lender’s costs incurred in connection with such release.

 

11.          Trustee.

 

(a)          Trustee may resign by giving of notice of such resignation in writing to Lender. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from acting under this Security Instrument or shall fail or refuse to act in accordance with this Security Instrument when requested by Lender or if for any reason and without cause Lender shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee to act instead of the original Trustee named in this Security Instrument or any prior successor or substitute trustee, Lender shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estate, rights, powers and duties of the original Trustee named in this Security Instrument. Such appointment may be executed by an authorized officer, agent or attorney-in-fact of Lender (whether acting pursuant to a power of attorney or otherwise), and such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by Lender.

 

(b)          Any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 11 shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee in this Security Instrument; but, nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or such successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the Mortgaged Property and monies held by the Trustee ceasing to act to the successor Trustee.

 

(c)          Trustee may authorize one (1) or more parties to act on Trustee’s behalf to perform the ministerial functions required of Trustee under this Security Instrument, including the transmittal and posting of any notices.

 

12.          No Fiduciary Duty.

 

Lender owes no fiduciary or other special duty to Borrower.

13.          Additional Provisions Regarding Assignment of Leases and Rents.

 

In no event shall the assignment of Rents or Leases in Section 3 cause the Indebtedness to be reduced by an amount greater than the Rents actually received by Lender and applied by Lender to the Indebtedness, whether before, during or after (a) an Event of Default, or (b) a suspension or revocation of the license granted to Borrower in Section 3 with regard to the Rents.  Borrower and Lender specifically intend that the assignment of Rents and Leases in Section 3 is not intended to result in a pro tanto reduction of the Indebtedness. The assignment of Rents and Leases in Section 3 is not intended to constitute a payment of, or with respect to, the Indebtedness and, therefore, Borrower and Lender specifically intend that the Indebtedness shall not be reduced by the value of the Rents and Leases assigned. Such reduction shall occur only if, and to the extent that, Lender actually receives Rents pursuant to Section 3 and applies such Rents to the Indebtedness. Borrower agrees that the value of the license granted with regard to the Rents equals the value of the absolute assignment of Rents to Lender. The assignment of Rents contained in Section 3 shall terminate upon the release of this Security Instrument.

 

14.          Loan Charges.

 

Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Mortgage Loan and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Neither this Security Instrument, the Note, the Loan Agreement, nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with all applicable laws governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by this Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any interest or other charge or amount provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges or amounts provided for in any other Loan Document, or otherwise charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Mortgage Loan, or on acceleration of the maturity of the Mortgage Loan or as a result of any prepayment by Borrower or otherwise, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such violation. Amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan without the payment of any Prepayment Premium (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been or would thereby be paid in full, shall be refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with any applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, and any amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Mortgage Loan. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.

16.          Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.

 

This Security Instrument shall be governed by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction without giving effect to any choice of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies that arise under or in relation to any security for the Indebtedness.

(a)          This Security Instrument shall bind, and the rights granted by this Security Instrument shall benefit, the successors and assigns of Lender. This Security Instrument shall bind, and the obligations granted by this Security Instrument shall inure to, any permitted successors and assigns of Borrower under the Loan Agreement. If more than one (1) person or entity signs this Security Instrument as Borrower, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several. The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Security Instrument shall create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. No creditor of any party to this Security Instrument and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)          The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Security Instrument or of any other Loan Document, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. This Security Instrument contains the complete and entire agreement among the parties as to the matters covered, rights granted and the obligations assumed in this Security Instrument. This Security Instrument may not be amended or modified except by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

6. Governing Law.

 

This Note shall be governed in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 15.01 (Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue) of the Loan Agreement.

 

7. Waivers.

 

Presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment and dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by Borrower, for and on behalf of itself, Guarantor and Key Principal, and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors or others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness.

 

8. Commercial Purpose.

12. Loan Charges Savings Clause.

 

Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Mortgage Loan and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Neither this Note, the Loan Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with all applicable laws governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any interest or other charge or amount provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges or amounts provided for in any other Loan Document, or otherwise charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Mortgage Loan, or on acceleration of the maturity of the Mortgage Loan or as a result of any prepayment by Borrower or otherwise, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such violation. Amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan without the payment of any prepayment premium (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been or would thereby be paid in full, shall be refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with any applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, and any amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Mortgage Loan. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.

 

13. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

 

14. Receipt of Loan Documents .

 

Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the Loan Documents.

 

15. Incorporation of Schedules .

 

The schedules, if any, attached to this Note are incorporated fully into this Note by this reference and each constitutes a substantive part of this Note.

 

16. Defined Terms.

 

(a)         As used hereunder, the term “ Maximum Lawful Rate ” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as defined below) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

Multifamily Note – Multistate Form 6010 Page 3
Fannie Mae 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

  

(b)         As used hereunder, the term “ Charges ” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to this Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law.

 

17. Procedural Obligations of Borrower.

 

(a)         In addition to the provisions of Section 12 above, Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by this Note and/or any other Loan Documents, that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading, using the actuarial method, all interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender throughout the full term of this Note and/or any other Loan Documents (including any and all renewal and extension periods).

 

(b)         In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note and/or any Indebtedness.

 

(c)         Not later than the sixty-first (61st) day before the date Borrower files suit seeking penalties for Lender’s violation of the usury law (or not later than the time of Borrower filing a counterclaim in an original action by Lender), Borrower is required to give Lender written notice stating in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the violation. Lender is then entitled to correct such violation within the sixty (60) day period beginning with the date such notice is received. If the usury violation is raised on a counterclaim, Lender can petition the court to abate the proceedings for sixty (60) days to allow Lender to cure the violation. If Lender timely corrects such violation, Lender will not be liable to Borrower for such violation, except to reimburse Borrower for reasonable attorneys’ fees in the event the issue is raised by Borrower in a counterclaim. Lender is also not liable to Borrower for a violation of the usury penalty statute if Lender gives written notice to Borrower of Lender’s usury violation before Borrower itself gives written notice of the violation or files an action alleging the violation, and provided Lender corrects such violation not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the date Lender actually discovered the violation that applies to the Note and/or any of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, 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.

 

Multifamily Note – Multistate Form 6010 Page 4
Fannie Mae 06-12 © 2012 Fannie Mae

 

 
 

  

18. Ceiling Election.

 

To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Note and/or any other portion of the Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

 

ATTACHED SCHEDULE. The following Schedule is attached to this Note:

 

  ¨ Schedule 1 Modifications to Note

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , Borrower has signed and delivered this Note under seal (where applicable) or has caused this Note to be signed and delivered under seal (where applicable) by its duly authorized representative.

Tenant hereby warrants and represents, covenants, and agrees to and with Lender:

(b)          not to alter or modify the Lease in any respect without prior written consent of Lender;

(d)           that Tenant is now the sole owner of the leasehold estate created by the Lease and shall not hereafter transfer the Lease except as permitted by the terms thereof;

 

(e)           not to seek to terminate the Lease by reason of any default of Landlord without prior written notice thereof to Lender and the lapse thereafter of such time as under the Lease was offered to Landlord in which to remedy the default, and the lapse of thirty (30) days after the expiration of such time as Landlord was permitted to cure such default; provided, however, that with respect to any default of Landlord under the Lease which cannot be remedied within such time, if Lender commences to cure such default within such time and thereafter diligently proceeds with such efforts and pursues the same to completion, Lender shall have such time as is reasonably necessary to complete curing such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either Lender or Landlord do not cure or commence curing such default within the time provided to Landlord under the Lease and the nature of the default threatens Tenant’s ability to conduct its daily business or threatens to materially or adversely damage Tenant’s property located on the Premises, Tenant shall be permitted to exercise its right under the Lease;

Section 8.           Assignment.

 

Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has collaterally assigned to Lender the Lease and the rents and other amounts, including lease termination fees, if any, due and payable under such leases. In connection therewith, Tenant agrees that, upon receipt by Tenant of a notice from Lender of the occurrence of a default by Landlord under such assignment and a demand by Lender for direct payment to Lender of the rents due under the Lease, Tenant will honor such demand and make all subsequent rent payments directly to Lender. Landlord hereby agrees that any rents, fees or other amounts paid by Tenant to or as directed by Lender pursuant to this section shall be deemed to have been duly and validly paid by Tenant under the Lease, and any such amounts shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations under the Lease as if the same were paid directly to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant each agree that Tenant shall have no obligation to determine whether Landlord is in default under such assignment, and Tenant may rely on such notice and direction from Lender without any duty to investigate.

 

Section 9.           Successors and Assigns.

 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

 

Section 10.          Trustee.

 

If the Security Instrument is a deed of trust, then, this Agreement is entered into by one or more trustees acting on behalf of Lender in his, her or its capacity as trustee and not individually, then Tenant agrees that neither such trustees, nor any of its officers, employees, agents, or shareholders shall be personally liable under this Agreement.

Lender shall have the right to cause to be undertaken and thereafter obtain any Environmental Inspections in connection with any Foreclosure Event, or as a condition of Lender’s consent to any Transfer, or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist. Borrower shall pay within ten (10) days after written demand from Lender the reasonable costs of any Environmental Inspections required by Lender in accordance with this Section 5. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including the fees and out-of-pocket costs of attorneys and technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) which Borrower fails to pay promptly after notice and request by Lender shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in the Security Instrument. The results of all Environmental Inspections made by Lender shall at all times remain the property of Lender and Lender shall have no obligation to disclose or otherwise make available to Borrower or any other party such results or any other information obtained by Lender in connection with its Environmental Inspections; provided, however, if Borrower reimbursed Lender for the cost of such Environmental Inspections, upon request by Borrower, Lender shall provide a copy of such Environmental Inspections to Borrower. Lender hereby reserves the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by Lender or Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any Environmental Inspections. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount which a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results of any Environmental Inspections to any third party, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, orders, damages or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to conducting any such Environmental Inspections or providing the results of the same or delivering the same to any person or entity.

 

6.            Remedial Work.

 

If any Remedial Work is contemplated, planned or undertaken at or about the Mortgaged Property or is (a) necessary to comply with or required by any Environmental Law or order (that has not been stayed on appeal) of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property under any Environmental Law or order, or (b) required by Lender based on written recommendation from an environmental professional, certified industrial hygienist or person with similar qualifications with respect to Significant Mold, or (c) is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense and by the earlier of (1) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender demanding such action, or (2) the applicable deadline required by Environmental Law or order, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and shall in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Environmental Law or order or relevant Governmental Authority. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so (including any related reasonable attorneys’ fees). Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of demand by Lender.

 

7.            Cooperation.

 

Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority and any determination of Lender that Prohibited Activities or Conditions may exist (as provided in Section 5), and shall timely comply with any governmental or judicial order which arises from any alleged Prohibited Activity or Condition.

8.            Indemnification.

 

(a)          Except (1) in connection with any Prohibited Activity or Condition caused directly by Lender or its agents or employees after it takes possession as mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise, (2) as set forth in Section 8(g), or (3) to the extent that any such items occur solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or its affiliates, employees or representatives, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable court order, Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnitees for, from and against all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, orders, damages, penalties and costs (whether initiated or sought by Governmental Authorities or private parties), including any reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses, investigatory fees and remediation costs, whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from any of the following:

 

(A)         any breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower in this Agreement;

 

(B)         any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(C)         any Remedial Work;

 

(D)         the existence or alleged existence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition, including any loss, cost or damage arising out of the existence of any underground storage tank on the Mortgaged Property, whether known or unknown to any Borrower;

 

(E)         the presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on or under (i) the Mortgaged Property or (ii) any other property if the Hazardous Materials were derived from, or alleged to have derived from, the Mortgaged Property; and

 

(F)         the actual or alleged violation of any Environmental Law at the Mortgaged Property.

 

(b)          Borrower shall be fully and personally liable for its obligations under this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower’s liability shall not be limited by the amount of the Indebtedness, the repayment of the Indebtedness or otherwise (including as a result of any limitation on personal liability set forth in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document).

 

(c)          Counsel selected by Borrower to defend Indemnitees shall be subject to the approval of those Indemnitees, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. However, any Indemnitee may elect to defend any action, suit, claim, proceeding, or order at Borrower’s expense if such Indemnitee reasonably determines that there is a conflict between the interests of Borrower and such Indemnitee, or if such Indemnitee reasonably determines that such election is necessary to protect Indemnitee’s security under the Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may employ at its own cost and expense its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate any action, suit, claim, proceeding, or order. Further, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Lender may settle or compromise any action, suit, claim, proceeding, or order. Borrower shall reimburse Lender within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of written demand from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender which are required to be reimbursed under the terms of this provision, including all costs of settlements entered into in good faith, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and consultants.

(d)          Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named as parties to any action, suit, claim, proceeding, or order, settle or compromise such action, suit, claim, proceeding, or order if the settlement may materially and adversely affect any Indemnitee, as determined by Lender, or results in the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of the applicable Indemnitees (such release satisfactory in form and substance to Lender).

 

(e)          Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:

 

(1)         the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness may be extended or the Indebtedness may be renewed in whole or in part;

(3)         the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived;

(8)         any security for the Indebtedness may be modified, exchanged, released, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness;

 

(9)         the payment of the Indebtedness or any security for the Indebtedness, or both, may be subordinated to the right to payment or the security, or both, of any other present or future creditor of Borrower;

 

(10)        any payments made by Borrower to Lender may be applied to the Indebtedness in such priority as Lender may determine; and

 

(11)        any other terms of the Loan Documents may be modified as required by Lender.

 

(f)          Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

(g)          The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under applicable law or under other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property or any other security, pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Agreement shall not be applicable to any Prohibited Activities or Conditions or any other environmental contamination that occurs after:

 

(1)         the date of any Foreclosure Event, or

 

(2)         if Borrower has a right under applicable law to physical possession or control of the Mortgaged Property following the date of any Foreclosure Event, the earlier of the date

 

(A)          Lender takes physical possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, or

 

(B)          Lender has the legal right to take physical possession and control of the Mortgaged Property;

 

provided, however, that in any such event, Borrower (i) must have relinquished physical possession and control of the Mortgaged Property as of such date, and (ii) shall have the burden of providing evidence to Lender’s satisfaction that any Prohibited Activities or Conditions or any other environmental contamination occurred after such date.

 

9.            Event of Default.

 

Borrower understands that a default of its obligations under this Agreement that is not cured after the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods, if any, shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement (as provided in Article 14 thereof), and that in addition to any remedies specified in this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, however, the obligations hereunder shall not be secured by the Security Instrument.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(b)          The indemnification obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall survive payment in full of the Indebtedness with respect to any claims, suits, orders, proceedings or actions existing as of the Repayment Date or which subsequently come into existence prior to the date on which Lender repays or restores, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer as set forth in Section 11(a).

 

(c)          The obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Agreement, as limited by Section 8(g), shall survive the occurrence of any Foreclosure Event, even if, as a result of the occurrence of such Foreclosure Event, the Indebtedness is paid or satisfied in full.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Owner and Property Manager agree as follows:

 

Article I APPOINTMENT

 

Owner hereby grants to Property Manager, as an independent contractor, the sole and exclusive right to manage and operate the Project, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, Owner shall not participate in the day-to-day operation of the Project and shall at no time directly order or instruct any employees or other personnel engaged in the day-to-day management and operation of the Project. The foregoing shall not restrict the right of Owner to direct any questions, orders or instructions regarding operations of the Project to the Property Manager.

 

Article II TERM OF AGREEMENT

 

2.1            Term . Subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, the initial term of this Agreement shall commence on March 26, 2015 and expire on March 31, 2016, but it will be automatically renewed thereafter on a year-to-year basis (each such renewal term expiring on March 31) unless terminated by one of the parties (the “ Term ”).

 

2.2            Effect of Expiration or Termination . Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall in no way affect or impair any rights or obligations which have accrued to either party pursuant to this Agreement prior to such expiration or termination, including, without limitation, the rights of Property Manager to receive payments provided for hereunder, without set-off, recoupment or similar withholding of payment by Owner. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect an orderly transition of the management and operation of the Project to Owner or an agent designated by Owner and to cooperate with Owner or such agent.

 

Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, and provided all payments due Property Manager have been paid in full, including the Termination Fee (as defined below), if applicable, Property Manager shall:

 

 
 

 

(a)          account for and deliver to Owner all receipts, charges and income from the Project (including, without limitation, tenant security deposits) and other monies of Owner in Property Manager’s actual possession or control;

(e)          within forty-five (45) days after the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, cause to be furnished to Owner a statement similar in form and content to its monthly statement covering the period from the date of the last such previous statement to the date of the termination of this Agreement; and

 

(f)          Within ninety (90) days following such expiration or termination, Property Manager shall deliver to Owner a final accounting, in writing, with respect to the operations of the Project. Subsections 2.2(e) and 2.2(f) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

For this purpose, the monthly Management Fee for the remainder of the stated Term shall be presumed to be the same as that of the last month prior to termination. Property Manager acknowledges that its right to receive payment of a Termination Fee is personal to the Owner and does not extend to any obligations Owner may have to any Lender (as hereafter defined), and that such Termination Fee is subordinate to any obligations Owner may have to such Lender.
