ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

 

The disclosure below describes our acquisition of Hunter’s Creek and Metrowest. All figures provided below are approximate.

 

On October 30, 2017, Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc., or the Company, through its operating partnership, Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or the Operating Partnership, (i) through BRG Hunters Creek, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, or BRG Hunters Creek, through BR Hunters Creek, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of BRG Hunters Creek, or Hunter’s Creek Owner, acquired a 532-unit, apartment community located in Orlando, Florida, known as Arium Hunter’s Creek, or Hunter’s Creek, and (ii) through BRG Metrowest, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, or BRG Metrowest, through BR Metrowest, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of BRG Metrowest, or Metrowest Owner, acquired a 510-unit apartment community located in Orlando, Florida, known as Arium at Metrowest, or Metrowest, and together with Hunter’s Creek, the Portfolio, and each, a Property. Hunter’s Creek Owner and Metrowest Owner are managed by BRG Hunters Creek Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Hunter’s Creek Manager, and BRG Metrowest Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Metrowest Manager, respectively. Each of Hunter’s Creek Manager and Metrowest Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership.

 

The total purchase price paid for Hunter’s Creek and Metrowest was approximately $97.5 million and $86.0 million, respectively, for a total purchase price of approximately $183.5 million for the Portfolio. The sale was based on arm’s length negotiations with an unaffiliated seller. In evaluating the Portfolio 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.

 

Following our acquisition of the Portfolio, the organizational structure with respect to the ownership of the Portfolio is such that: (i) Hunter’s Creek is wholly owned by Hunter’s Creek Owner, which is wholly owned by BRG Hunters Creek, and (ii) Metrowest is wholly owned by Metrowest Owner, which is wholly owned by BRG Metrowest, and each of BRG Hunters Creek and BRG Metrowest is wholly owned by the Operating Partnership.

 

The material features of the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among (i) CH Realty VII – Carroll MF Orlando Hunter’s Creek, L.L.C., CH Realty VII – Carroll MF Orlando Metrowest, L.L.C. and, or the Sellers, and Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C., dated as of September 7, 2017, which was assigned to Hunter’s Creek Owner and Metrowest Owner, and other information related to the Portfolio and our acquisition of the same are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 20, 2017, such disclosure being incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

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

 

Senior Loan Financing for the Acquisition of Hunter’s Creek

 

The acquisition of Hunter’s Creek was funded with approximately $28.5 million of gross equity and a senior mortgage loan made by Walker & Dunlop, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on behalf of Freddie Mac, or the Hunter’s Creek Lender, to Hunter’s Creek Owner in the original principal amount of approximately $72.3 million, or the Hunter’s Creek Loan, which is secured by Hunter’s Creek.

 

The Hunter’s Creek Loan will mature on November 1, 2024 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.65%. The first payment on the Hunter’s Creek Loan will be due December 1, 2017. The Hunter’s Creek Loan requires monthly, interest only payments on the first day of each calendar month from December 1, 2017 up to, but not including, December 1, 2019.

 

     

 

 

Thereafter and up to and including November 1, 2024, principal and accrued interest will be payable by Hunter’s Creek Owner in monthly payments on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of each monthly installment of principal and interest payable will be $330,715.81. On November 1, 2024, all remaining indebtedness under the Hunter’s Creek Loan, including all principal and interest, will be due and payable by Hunter’s Creek Owner.

 

At the closing of Hunter’s Creek, we entered into a Guaranty to provide certain standard scope non-recourse carveout guarantees (and related hazardous materials indemnities) to the Loan which generally call for protection against losses by the Hunter’s Creek Lender for so-called “bad acts,” such as misrepresentations, and may include full recourse liability for more significant events such as bankruptcy, or the Guaranty. Our financial obligations under the Loan and the Guaranty, as discussed in this Item 2.03, arose on October 30, 2017 in connection with the closing of the Loan.

 

Financing for the Acquisition of Metrowest

 

The acquisition of Metrowest was funded with approximately $55.0 million of gross equity and approximately $32.5 million in borrowings, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement by and between the Operating Partnership and KeyBank National Association, or the Credit Facility Lender, dated as of October 4, 2017. Metrowest Owner became a party to the Credit Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to that certain Joinder Agreement executed by Metrowest Owner and delivered to the Credit Facility Lender on October 30, 2017. In connection with the Credit Agreement, Metrowest Owner entered into a Subsidiary Guaranty. Pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty, Metrowest Owner agreed to guaranty all payments under the Credit Agreement by the Operating Partnership and any of its subsidiaries that join in the Credit Agreement.

 

The material features of the Credit Agreement are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated October 11, 2017, such disclosure being incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

AGREEMENT

 

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

 

ARTICLE I DEFINED TERMS; CONSTRUCTION.

 

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

 

1.02 Construction.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

Page 1

 

  

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

 

ARTICLE II LOAN.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

Page 2

 

  

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

 

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

 

ARTICLE III LOAN SECURITY AND GUARANTY.

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

 

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

 

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

4.02 Reserves for Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

 

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

 

  [Deferred] Property Insurance premiums or premiums for other Insurance required by Lender under Section 6.10
  [Collect] Taxes and payments in lieu of taxes
  [Deferred] water and sewer charges that could become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property
  [N/A] Ground Rents
  [Deferred] assessments or other charges that could become a Lien on the Mortgaged Property, including home owner association dues

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

(ii) Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney in fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claims under policies of Property Insurance, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such Property Insurance policies, to collect and receive the proceeds of Property Insurance, to hold the proceeds of Property Insurance, and to deduct from such proceeds Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

 

(j) Lender’s Options Following a Casualty . Lender may, at Lender’s option, take one of the following actions:

 

(i) Require a “repair or replacement” settlement, in which case the proceeds will be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring and repairing the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition approved by Lender (“ Restoration ”).

(ii) Require an “actual cash value” settlement in which case the proceeds may be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due.

 

(k) Borrower’s Options Following a Casualty . Subject to Section 6.10(l), Borrower may take the following actions:

 

(i) If a casualty results in damage to the Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs will be less than the Borrower Proof of Loss Threshold, Borrower will have the sole right to make proof of loss, adjust and compromise the claim and collect and receive any proceeds directly without the approval or prior consent of Lender so long as the Insurance proceeds are used solely for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(ii) If a casualty results in damage to the Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs will be more than the Borrower Proof of Loss Threshold, but less than the Borrower Proof of Loss Maximum, Borrower is authorized to make proof of loss and adjust and compromise the claim without the prior consent of Lender, and Lender will hold the applicable Insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and will not apply such proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness.

 

(iii) If a casualty results in damage to the Mortgaged Property for which the cost of Repairs will be more than the Borrower Proof of Loss Maximum, Borrower must obtain the consent of Lender prior to making any proof of loss or adjusting or compromising the claim, and Lender will hold the applicable Insurance proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and will not apply such proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness.

 

(l) Lender’s Right to Apply Insurance Proceeds to Indebtedness . Lender will have the right to apply Insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness if Lender determines, in Lender’s Discretion, that any of the following conditions exist:

(iv) The Restoration will be completed less than (A) 6 months prior to the Maturity Date if re-leasing will be completed prior to the Maturity Date, or (B) 12 months prior to the Maturity Date if re-leasing will not be completed prior to the Maturity Date.

 

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

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

 

(vi) The casualty involved an actual or constructive loss of more than 30% of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, and rendered untenantable more than 30% of the residential units of the Mortgaged Property.

 

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

 

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

 

(m) Lender’s Succession to Insurance Policies . If the Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or Lender acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, Lender will automatically succeed to all rights of Borrower in and to any Insurance policies and unearned Insurance premiums and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Mortgaged Property prior to such sale or acquisition.

 

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

6.11 Condemnation.

 

(a) Rights Generally . Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing of any action or proceeding or notice relating to any proposed or actual condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether direct or indirect (“ Condemnation ”). Borrower will appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation unless otherwise directed by Lender in writing. Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as attorney in fact for Borrower to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation, after consultation with Borrower and consistent with commercially reasonable standards of a prudent lender. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable. However, nothing contained in this Section 6.11(a) will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action. Borrower transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any award or payment with respect to (i) any Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation, and (ii) any damage to the Mortgaged Property caused by governmental action that does not result in a Condemnation.

Page 29

 

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

Page 30

 

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i) If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is released from the Lien of the Loan in connection with a Condemnation and if the ratio of (A) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to (B) the value of the Mortgaged Property (with the value of the Mortgaged Property first being reduced by the outstanding principal balance of any Senior Indebtedness or any indebtedness secured by the Mortgaged Property that is at the same level of priority with the Indebtedness and taking into account only the related land and buildings and not any personal property or going-concern value), as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted in connection with a Securitization, is greater than 125% immediately after such Condemnation and before any Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property (but taking into account any planned Restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property as if such planned Restoration or repair were completed), then Lender will apply any net proceeds or awards from such Condemnation, in full, to the payment of the principal of the Indebtedness whether or not then due and payable, unless Lender has received an opinion of counsel (acceptable to Lender if such opinion is provided by Borrower) that a different application of the net proceeds or awards will not cause such Securitization to fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to any tax, and the net proceeds or awards are applied in the manner specified in such opinion.

 

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

 

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

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

Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Borrower will: (i) obtain and maintain all Environmental Permits required by Hazardous Materials Laws and comply with all conditions of such Environmental Permits, (ii) cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority, and (iii) subject to Section 6.12(g), comply with any governmental or judicial order that arises from any alleged Prohibited Activity or Condition.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

(f) Remedial Work . If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, Restoration or other remedial work (“ Remedial Work ”) is necessary to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation or improvement of the Mortgaged Property, or is otherwise required by Lender as a consequence of any Prohibited Activity or Condition or to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Activity or Condition, Borrower will, by the earlier of (i) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law, or (ii) 30 days after Notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and must in any event complete the work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower will reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender will become part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 9.02.

 

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

Page 33

 

  

(g) Borrower Contest of Order . Notwithstanding Section 6.12(f), Borrower may contest the order of any Governmental Authority in good faith through appropriate proceedings, provided that (i) Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that any delay in completing Remedial Work pending the outcome of such proceedings would not result in damage to the Mortgaged Property or to persons who use or occupy the Improvements, or otherwise impair Lender’s interest under this Loan Agreement, and (ii) if any delay in completing the Remedial Work results or may result in a Lien against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower must promptly furnish to Lender a bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount not less than 150% of the applicable claim.

(b) 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 or equity, and each will be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively, in any order.

(b) Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Note, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, will not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, or the subsequent exercise of any 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, will not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments on account of the Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness will not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right available to Lender. Lender’s receipt of any awards or proceeds under Sections 6.10 and 6.11 will not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement

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

 

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

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

 

to

 

(B) the value of the Mortgaged Property.

 

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

 

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

3. Payments.

 

(a) Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Fixed Interest Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Note.

 

(b) Interest under this Note will be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of an actual/360 interest calculation schedule (interest is payable for the actual number of days in each month, and each month’s interest is calculated by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of this Note as of the first day of the month for which interest is being calculated by the Fixed Interest Rate, dividing the product by 360, and multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the month for which interest is being calculated). The portion of the monthly installment of principal and interest under this Note attributable to principal and the portion attributable to interest will vary based upon the number of days in the month for which such installment is paid. Each monthly payment of principal and interest will first be applied to pay in full interest due, and the balance of the monthly installment payment paid by Borrower will be credited to principal.

 

(c) Unless disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, interest for the period beginning on the date of disbursement and ending on and including the last day of such calendar month will be payable by Borrower simultaneously with the execution of this Note. If disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the first day of a calendar month, then no payment will be due from Borrower at the time of the execution of this Note. The Installment Due Date for the first monthly installment payment under Section 3(d) of interest-only or principal and interest, as applicable, will be the First Installment Due Date set forth in Section 1(a) of this Note. Except as provided in this Section 3(c), Section 10, and in Section 11, accrued interest will be payable in arrears.

 

(d) (i) Beginning on the First Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the Installment Due Date immediately prior to the First Principal and Interest Installment Due Date, accrued interest-only will be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month. The amount of each monthly installment of interest-only payable pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) on an Installment Due Date will vary, and will equal $7,329.80833 multiplied by the number of days in the month prior to the Installment Due Date.

 

(ii) Beginning on the First Principal and Interest Installment Due Date, and continuing until and including the monthly installment due on the Maturity Date, principal and accrued interest will be payable by Borrower in consecutive monthly installments due and payable on the first day of each calendar month.

(g) Reserved.

 

(h) All remaining Indebtedness, including all principal and interest, will be due and payable by Borrower on the Maturity Date.

 

(i) Reserved.

 

(j) All payments under this Note must be made in immediately available U.S. funds.

 

(k) Any regularly scheduled monthly installment of interest-only or principal and interest payable pursuant to this Section 3 that is received by Lender before the date it is due will be deemed to have been received on the due date for the purpose of calculating interest due.

 

(l) Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more, at Lender’s discretion, may be added to and become part of the unpaid principal balance of this Note and any reference to “accrued interest” will refer to accrued interest which has not become part of the unpaid principal balance. Any amount added to principal pursuant to the Loan Documents will bear interest at the applicable rate or rates specified in this Note and will be payable with such interest upon demand by Lender and absent such demand, as provided in this Note for the payment of principal and interest.

 

(m) Reserved.

 

(n) Reserved.

 

4. Application of Partial Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender may apply the amount received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in Lender’s discretion. Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

 

5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument and reference is made to the Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement for other rights with respect to collateral for the Indebtedness.

 

6. Acceleration. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, any prepayment premium payable under Section 10 and Section 11, and all other amounts payable under this Note and any other Loan Document, will at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender, without any prior Notice to Borrower (except if notice is required by applicable law, then after such notice). Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance. For purposes of exercising such option, Lender will calculate the prepayment premium as if prepayment occurred on the date of acceleration. If prepayment occurs thereafter, Lender will recalculate the prepayment premium as of the actual prepayment date.

7. Late Charge.

 

(a) If any monthly installment of interest or principal and interest or other amount payable under this Note or under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is not received in full by Lender within 10 days after the installment or other amount is due, counting from and including the date such installment or other amount is due (unless applicable law requires a longer period of time before a late charge may be imposed, in which event such longer period will be substituted), Borrower must pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to 5% of such installment or other amount due (unless applicable law requires a lesser amount be charged, in which event such lesser amount will be substituted). If the Loan is not fully amortizing, the late charge will not be due on the final payment of principal owed on the Maturity Date if such payment is not timely made.

 

(b) Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 8.

 

8. Default Rate.

 

(a) So long as (i) any monthly installment under this Note remains past due for 30 days or more or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then notwithstanding anything in Section 3 of this Note to the contrary, interest under this Note will accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the Installment Due Date of the first such unpaid monthly installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable, at the Default Rate.

 

(b) From and after the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance will continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until and including the date on which the entire principal balance is paid in full.

 

(c) Borrower acknowledges that (i) its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, (ii) during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for 30 days or more, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities, and (iii)  it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment under this Note is delinquent for 30 days or more or any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk. Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

(ii) Borrower fails to apply all Insurance proceeds and Condemnation proceeds as required by the Loan Agreement. However, Borrower will not be personally liable for any failure described in this Section 9(c)(ii) if Borrower is unable to apply Insurance or Condemnation proceeds as required by the Loan Agreement because of a valid order issued in, or an automatic stay applicable because of, a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

(c) To make a voluntary prepayment of all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, Borrower must designate the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. Upon receipt of such Notice from Borrower, if a voluntary prepayment is not permitted, Lender will notify Borrower. If a voluntary prepayment is permitted, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 10 only, then (A) the term “Installment Due Date” will mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date and (B) the calculation of any required prepayment premium will be made as if the prepayment had actually been made on the scheduled Installment Due Date.

 

(d) If a voluntary prepayment is permitted, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in Section 10(c) and meets the other requirements set forth in this Section 10(d). Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender will deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower must pay to Lender all interest and any required prepayment premium that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

 

(e) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment, plus (iii) if the prepayment occurs during the Prepayment Premium Period, any prepayment premium calculated pursuant to Section 10(f).

 

(f) Except as provided in Section 10(g), a prepayment premium will be due and payable by Borrower in connection with any prepayment of principal under this Note during the Prepayment Premium Period. The prepayment premium will be computed as follows:

 

(i) For any prepayment made during the Yield Maintenance Period, the prepayment premium will be whichever is the greater of Sections 10(f)(i)(A) and (B) below:

 

(A) 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid; or

 

(B) the product obtained by multiplying:

 

(1) the amount of principal being prepaid or accelerated, by

 

(2) the excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the Assumed Reinvestment Rate, by

 

(3) the Present Value Factor.

Prepayment Date: in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date on which the prepayment is made; in the case of the application by Lender of collateral or security to a portion of the principal balance, the date of such application.

 

Assumed Reinvestment Rate: 1/12 of the yield rate expressed as a decimal to 2 digits, as of the close of the trading session which is 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, found among the Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates, commonly known as Constant Maturity Treasury (“ CMT ”) rates, with a maturity equal to the remaining Yield Maintenance Period, as reported on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website.

 

If no published CMT maturity matches the remaining Yield Maintenance Period, Lender will interpolate as a decimal to 2 digits the yield rate between (a) the CMT with a maturity closest to, but shorter than, the remaining Yield Maintenance Period, and (b) the CMT with a maturity closest to, but longer than, the remaining Yield Maintenance Period, as follows:

 

 

 

A = yield rate for the CMT with a maturity shorter than the remaining Yield Maintenance Period
B = yield rate for the CMT with a maturity longer than the remaining Yield Maintenance Period
C = number of months to maturity for the CMT maturity shorter than the remaining Yield Maintenance Period
D = number of months to maturity for the CMT maturity longer than the remaining Yield Maintenance Period
E = number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period

 

In the event the U.S. Department of the Treasury ceases publication of the CMT rates, the Assumed Reinvestment Rate will equal the yield rate on the first U.S. Treasury security which is not callable or indexed to inflation and which matures after the expiration of the Yield Maintenance Period.

 

The Assumed Reinvestment Rate may be a positive number, a negative number or zero.

 

If the Assumed Reinvestment Rate is a positive number or a negative number, Lender will calculate the prepayment premium using such positive number or negative number, as appropriate, as the Assumed Reinvestment Rate in 10(f)(i)(B)(2) and in the calculation of the Present Value Factor.

 

Florida Amended and Restated Multifamily Note

Fixed Rate Defeasance

If the Assumed Reinvestment Rate is zero, Lender will calculate the prepayment premium twice as set forth in (I) and (II) below and will average the results to determine the actual prepayment premium.

 

(I) Lender will calculate the prepayment premium using an Assumed Reinvestment Rate of one basis point (+0.01%) in Section 10(f)(i)(B)(2) and in the calculation of the Present Value Factor.

 

(II) Lender will calculate the prepayment premium using an Assumed Reinvestment Rate of negative one basis point (-0.01%) in Section 10(f)(i)(B)(2) and in the calculation of the Present Value Factor.

 

Present Value Factor: the factor that discounts to present value the costs resulting to Lender from the difference in interest rates during the months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period, using the Assumed Reinvestment Rate as the discount rate, with monthly compounding, expressed numerically as follows:

 

 

n = the number of months remaining in Yield Maintenance Period; provided, however, if a prepayment occurs on an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period will be calculated beginning with the month in which such prepayment occurs and if such prepayment occurs on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date, then the number of months remaining in the Yield Maintenance Period will be calculated beginning with the month immediately following the date of such prepayment.

 

ARR = Assumed Reinvestment Rate

 

(ii) For any prepayment made after the expiration of the Yield Maintenance Period but during the remainder of the Prepayment Premium Period, the prepayment premium will be 1.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid.

 

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, no prepayment premium will be payable with respect to any of the following:

 

(i) Any prepayment made during the Window Period.

 

(ii) Any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any Insurance proceeds or Condemnation award.

 

(iii) Any prepayment required under the terms of the Loan Agreement in connection with a Condemnation proceeding.

 

(iv) Reserved.

(h) Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note will not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

 

(i) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that the prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the prepayment premium provisions.

(k) Reserved.

 

(l) Reserved.

 

11. Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments During the Lockout Period and During the Defeasance Period (Section Applies if Loan is Assigned to REMIC Trust Prior to the Cut-off Date).

 

(a) This Section 11 will apply in the event this Note is assigned to a REMIC trust prior to the Cut-off Date. This Section 11 will be of no effect if this Note is assigned to a REMIC trust on or after the Cut-off Date or if this Note is not assigned to a REMIC trust.

 

(b) Any receipt by Lender of principal due under this Note prior to the Maturity Date, other than principal required to be paid in monthly installments pursuant to Section 3, constitutes a prepayment of principal under this Note. Without limiting the foregoing, any application by Lender, prior to the Maturity Date, of any proceeds of collateral or other security to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note constitutes a prepayment under this Note.

 

(c) Borrower may not voluntarily prepay any portion of the principal balance of this Note during the Lockout Period or during the Defeasance Period; provided, however, any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any Insurance proceeds or Condemnation award under the Loan Agreement will be permitted during the Lockout Period and during the Defeasance Period. If any portion of the principal balance of this Note is prepaid during the Lockout Period or during the Defeasance Period by reason of the application by Lender of any proceeds of collateral or other security to any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or following a determination that the prohibition on voluntary prepayments during the Lockout Period or during the Defeasance Period is in contravention of applicable law, then Borrower must also pay to Lender upon demand by Lender, a prepayment premium equal to 5.0% of the amount of principal being prepaid.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11, no prepayment premium will be payable with respect to (i) any prepayment made during the Window Period, or (ii) any prepayment occurring as a result of the application of any Insurance proceeds or Condemnation award under the Loan Agreement.

 

(e) After the expiration of the Lockout Period and the Defeasance Period, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on an Installment Due Date so long as Borrower designates the date for such prepayment in a Notice from Borrower to Lender given at least 30 days prior to the date of such prepayment. If an Installment Due Date (as defined in Section 1(a)) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then with respect to payments made under this Section 11 only, the term “Installment Due Date” will mean the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Installment Due Date.

 

(f) Notwithstanding Section 11(e) above, following the end of the Lockout Period and the Defeasance Period, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date if Borrower provides Lender with the Notice set forth in Section 11(e) and meets the other requirements set forth in this Section 11(f). Borrower acknowledges that Lender has agreed that Borrower may prepay principal on a Business Day other than an Installment Due Date only because Lender will deem any prepayment received by Lender on any day other than an Installment Due Date to have been received on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment and Borrower must pay to Lender all interest that would have been due if the prepayment had actually been made on the Installment Due Date immediately following such prepayment.

 

(g) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay less than all of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. In order to voluntarily prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note, Borrower must also pay to Lender, together with the amount of principal being prepaid, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest due under this Note, plus (ii) all other sums due to Lender at the time of such prepayment.

 

(h) Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, a permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal balance of this Note will not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such installments.

 

(i) Borrower recognizes that any prepayment of any of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary or resulting from an Event of Default by Borrower, will result in Lender’s incurring loss, including reinvestment loss, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon demand damages for the detriment caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Borrower therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating prepayment premiums set forth in Section 11(c) of this Note represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment. Borrower further acknowledges that the lockout and prepayment premium provisions of this Note are a material part of the consideration for the Loan, and that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to Borrower as a result of the Borrower’s voluntary agreement to the prepayment premium provisions.

(j) If, after the expiration of the Lockout Period, Borrower defeases the Loan as described in Section 11.12 of the Loan Agreement during the Defeasance Period, Borrower will not have the right to voluntarily prepay any of the principal of this Note at any time.

 

12. Defeasance (Section Applies if Loan is Assigned to REMIC Trust Prior to the Cut-off Date) .

 

(a) This Section 12 will apply in the event this Note is assigned to a REMIC trust prior to the Cut-off Date. This Section 12 will be of no effect if this Note is assigned to a REMIC trust on or after the Cut-off Date or if this Note is not assigned to a REMIC trust.

 

(b) Section 5 of this Note is amended by adding a new paragraph at the end of the Section as follows:

 

If Borrower obtains a release of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Security Instrument pursuant to Section 11.12 of the Loan Agreement, the Indebtedness will be secured by the Pledge Agreement and reference will be made to the Pledge Agreement for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

 

(c) Section 9 of this Note is amended by adding a new paragraph at the end thereof as follows:

 

If Borrower obtains a release of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Security Instrument pursuant to Section 11.12 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower will have no personal liability under this Note or the Pledge Agreement for the repayment of the Indebtedness or for the performance of any other obligations of Borrower under this Note or the Pledge Agreement (other than any liability under Section 6.12 or Section 10.02 of the Loan Agreement for events that occur prior to the Defeasance Closing Date, whether discovered before or after the Defeasance Closing Date), and Lender’s only recourse for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the performance of such obligations will be Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the collateral held by Lender under the Pledge Agreement as security for the Indebtedness.

 

(d) Section 21(a) of this Note is amended by adding a new paragraph at the end of that subsection as follows:

 

If Borrower obtains a release of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Security Instrument pursuant to Section 11.12 of the Loan Agreement, all Notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note will be given in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

 

13. Costs and Expenses. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Borrower must pay all expenses and costs, including Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with each request by Borrower under this Note or any Loan Document, Borrower must pay all reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including any fees charged by the Rating Agencies (if applicable), regardless of whether the matter is approved, denied or withdrawn.

14. Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, will not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, will not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note will not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.

 

15. Waivers. Borrower and all endorsers and Guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors waive presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, 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.

 

16. Loan Charges. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents will 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. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, 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 that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts will be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. 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, will be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of this Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading will be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of this Note.

 

17. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that Borrower is incurring the Indebtedness solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

 

18. Counting of Days. Any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days, except where otherwise specifically provided.

 

19. Governing Law. This Note will be governed by the law of the Property Jurisdiction.

 

20. Captions. The captions of the Sections of this Note are for convenience only and will be disregarded in construing this Note.

 

21. Notices; Written Modifications.

 

(a) All Notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Note will be given in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Loan Agreement.

(b) Any modification or amendment to this Note will be ineffective unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged with such modification or amendment; provided, however, in the event of a Transfer under the terms of the Loan Agreement that requires Lender’s consent, any or some or all of the Modifications to Multifamily Note set forth in Exhibit A to this Note may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option, by Notice to Borrower and the transferee, as a condition of Lender’s consent.

 

22. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Note may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over all controversies that will arise under or in relation to this Note. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence, or otherwise. However, nothing in this Note is intended to limit any right that Lender may have to bring any suit, action, or proceeding relating to matters arising under this Note in any court of any other jurisdiction.

 

23. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY . BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (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.

 

24. State-Specific Provisions. State-specific provisions, if any, are included on Schedule 1 to this Note.

(b)          (i)          Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender hereby grants to Borrower a revocable license 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 installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Reserve Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities, Taxes and insurance premiums (to the extent not included in Imposition Reserve Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures.

 

(ii) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument.

 

(iii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such 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. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, or by a receiver, Borrower’s license to collect Rents will automatically terminate and Lender will without Notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled.

 

(iv) At any time on or after the date of Lender’s demand for Rents, 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 will be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default. No tenant will be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender will be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower will not interfere with and will cooperate with Lender’s collection of such Rents.

 

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Lender will have each of the following rights and may take any of the following actions:

 

(i) Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property 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, 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 the assignment of Rents pursuant to Section 3(a), protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Instrument, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.

(ii) Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, without regard to 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 the preceding sentence. 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 Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte if permitted by applicable law.

 

(iii) If Borrower is a housing cooperative corporation or association, Borrower hereby agrees that if a receiver is appointed, the order appointing the receiver may contain a provision requiring the receiver to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Reserve Deposits, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Indebtedness is an obligation of Borrower and must be paid out of maintenance charges payable by Borrower’s tenant shareholders under their proprietary leases or occupancy agreements.

 

(iv) Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property.

 

(v) Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or immediately upon Lender’s entering upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and will deliver to Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, 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.

 

(vi) If Lender takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, then Lender may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property.

 

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred under this Section 3 will 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.

(d) If Lender enters the Mortgaged Property, Lender will be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender will 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 Section 3(c), and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

(e) 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 will become an additional part of the Indebtedness as provided in Section 7.

 

(f) Any entering upon and taking of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument will 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 Instrument.

 

4. Assignment of Leases; Leases Affecting the Mortgaged Property.

 

(a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, including Borrower’s right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.

 

(i) It is the intention of Borrower to establish a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment to Lender of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases. Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of the Leases to be immediately effective and to constitute an absolute present assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.

 

(ii) For purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases will not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(iii) However, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases will be included as a part of the Mortgaged Property and it is the intention of Borrower that in this circumstance this Instrument create and perfect a Lien on the Leases in favor of Lender, which Lien will be effective as of the date of this Instrument.

 

(b) Until Lender gives Notice to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 4, Borrower will have all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section or any other provision of this Instrument), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, the permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence to exercise all rights, power and authority under Leases will automatically terminate. Borrower will comply with and observe Borrower’s obligations under all Leases, including Borrower’s obligations pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant security deposits.

(c)          (i)           Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Section 4 will 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 the Improvements.

 

(ii) The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases pursuant to Section 4(a) will not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Instrument or to expend any money or to incur any expenses.

 

(iii) Except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender will not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person or Persons in or about the Mortgaged Property.

 

(iv) Prior to Lender’s actual entry into and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender will not be obligated for any of the following:

 

(A) Lender will not be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease).

 

(B) Lender will not be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Lease or the Mortgaged Property.

 

(C) Lender will not be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. The execution of this Instrument by Borrower will constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and will be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.

 

(d) Upon delivery of Notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 4 at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance of such Event of Default, and 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, Lender immediately will 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.

(ii) Borrower may surrender or terminate such leases of apartments where the surrendered or terminated lease is immediately replaced or where Borrower makes its best efforts to secure such immediate replacement by a newly-executed lease of the same apartment to a tenant shareholder of Borrower. However, no consent is given by Lender to any execution, surrender, termination or assignment of a lease under terms that would waive or reduce the obligation of the resulting tenant shareholder under such lease to pay cooperative assessments in full when due or the obligation of the former tenant shareholder to pay any unpaid portion of such assessments.

 

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

 

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

 

7. Protection of Lender’s Security; Instrument Secures Future Advances.

 

(a) If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security or Lender’s rights under this Instrument, including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Hazardous Materials Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender’s option may make such appearances, file such documents, disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender’s interest, including all of the following:

Lender’s exercise of any particular right or remedy will not in any way prevent Lender from exercising any other right or remedy available to Lender. Lender may exercise any such remedies from time to time and as often as Lender chooses.

 

10. Waiver of Statute of Limitations, Offsets, and Counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the Lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents.

11. Waiver of Marshalling.

13. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Instrument, and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly identify the law that is to apply to it, will be governed by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction. The state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over all controversies that may arise under or in relation to the Note, any security for the Indebtedness or any other Loan Document. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise. However, nothing in this Section 13 is intended to limit Lender’s right to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to matters under this Instrument in any court of any other jurisdiction.

MODIFICATIONS TO INSTRUMENT

 

The following modifications are made to the text of the Instrument that precedes this Exhibit:

 

I. FLORIDA AMENDED AND RESTATED MODIFICATIONS :

 

1. In the first paragraph of text on Page 3 starting with “Borrower is indebted to Lender...”, the words “Multifamily Note” are hereby revised to read “Amended and Restated Multifamily Note”.

 

2. A new Section 37 is added as follows:

 

37. NO NOVATION; NO DEFENSES.

 

(a) Neither this Instrument nor the Note is a substitution or novation of the indebtedness of the Original Note. Neither this Instrument nor the Note extinguishes the indebtedness of the Original Note or discharges or releases or in any way adversely affects the lien or lien priorities of the Original Mortgage or any other security for the indebtedness of the Original Note. In the event that any of the provisions of this Instrument shall be construed by a court of competent jurisdiction as operating to affect the lien priority of the Original Mortgage over claims which would otherwise be subordinate thereto, then at the sole option of Lender, Lender may treat such provisions as void and of no force or effect and enforce the provisions of the Original Mortgage as modified by this Instrument excluding such provisions, or at the sole option of Lender, Lender may enforce the Original Mortgage pursuant to the terms therein contained, independent of this Instrument to the extent that third persons acquiring an interest in such real property between the time of recording of the Original Mortgage and the recording hereof are prejudiced by this Instrument. However, if Lender elects either such option, the parties hereto, as between themselves, shall in all events be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Instrument and the Note until all Indebtedness owing from Borrower to Lender shall have been paid in full.

 

(b) Borrower hereby confirms that it has no defenses or offsets of any kind against any of the indebtedness due under the Original Note. Borrower hereby waives any claim which it may have with respect to the Original Note or Original Mortgage, or any other document executed in connection therewith or related thereto, as the same may have been modified, or as hereby or hereafter modified. Borrower agrees not to raise any such defenses or claims in any civil proceedings or otherwise.

RECITALS

 

A. Pursuant to the terms of a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement dated the same date as this Guaranty (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the " Loan Agreement "), BR Hunters Creek, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Borrower ”) has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower in the amount of $72,294,000.00 (“ Loan ”). The Loan will be evidenced by one or more Multifamily Note(s) from Borrower to Lender dated effective as of the effective date of this Guaranty (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and collectively if applicable, the “ Note ”). The Note will be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Deed to Secure Debt dated effective as of the effective date of the Note (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “ Security Instrument ”), encumbering the Mortgaged Property described in the Loan Agreement.

 

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

 

C. Guarantor has a direct or indirect ownership or other financial interest in Borrower and/or will otherwise derive a material benefit from the making of the Loan.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and in consideration thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms. The terms “Indebtedness”, “Loan Documents”, and “Property Jurisdiction”, and other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guaranty, will have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

2. Scope of Guaranty.

 

(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender each of the following:

 

Guaranty - Multistate  

 

 

(i) Guarantor guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of each of the following:

 

(A) Guarantor guarantees a portion of the Indebtedness (including interest at the Note rate) equal to 0% of the original principal balance of the Note (“ Base Guaranty ”).

 

(B) In addition to the Base Guaranty, Guarantor guarantees all other amounts for which Borrower is personally liable under Sections 9(c), 9(d) and 9(f) of the Note (provided, however, that Guarantor will have no liability for failure of Borrower or SPE Equity Owner to comply with (I) Section 6.13(a)(xviii) of the Loan Agreement, and (II) the requirement in Section 6.13(a)(x)(B) of the Loan Agreement as to payment of trade payables within 60 days of the date incurred).

 

(C) Guarantor guarantees all costs and expenses, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and Costs incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty.

 

(ii) Guarantor guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of, and compliance with, all of Borrower’s obligations under Sections 6.12, 10.02(b) and 10.02(d) of the Loan Agreement when due and the accuracy of Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(iii) Guarantor guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of, and compliance with, Borrower’s obligations under Section 6.09(e)(v) of the Loan Agreement to the extent Property Improvement Alterations have commenced and remain uncompleted.

 

(iv) through (vi)          Reserved.

 

(b) If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is 100% of the original principal balance of the Note, then the following will be applicable:

 

(i) The Base Guaranty will mean and include, and Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender, the full and complete prompt payment of the entire Indebtedness, the performance of and/or compliance with all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents when due, and the accuracy of Borrower’s representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents.

 

(ii) For so long as the Base Guaranty remains in effect (there being no limit to the duration of the Base Guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty), the obligations guaranteed pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i)(B) and 2(a)(i)(C) will be part of, and not in addition to or in limitation of, the Base Guaranty.

 

(c) If the Base Guaranty stated in Section 2(a)(i)(A) is less than 100% of the original principal balance of the Note, then Section 2(b) will be completely inapplicable.

 

(d) If Guarantor is not liable for the entire Indebtedness, then all payments made by Borrower with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except this Guaranty) will be applied first to the portion of the Indebtedness for which neither Borrower nor Guarantor has personal liability.

 

Guaranty - Multistate Page 2  

 

 

3. Additional Guaranty Relating to Bankruptcy.

 

(a) Notwithstanding any limitation on liability provided for elsewhere in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date or earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the entire Indebtedness, in the event that:

 

(i) Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(ii) Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner voluntarily becomes subject to any reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights.

 

(iii) The Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property becomes an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or becomes subject to any voluntary reorganization, receivership, insolvency proceeding, or other similar voluntary proceeding pursuant to any other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights.

 

(iv) An order of relief is entered against Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or other federal or state law affecting debtor and creditor rights in any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding initiated or joined in by a Related Party.

 

(v) An involuntary bankruptcy or other involuntary insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner (by a party other than Lender) but only if Borrower or such SPE Equity Owner has failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to dismiss such proceeding or has consented to such proceeding. “Commercially reasonable efforts” will not require any direct or indirect interest holders in Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner to contribute or cause the contribution of additional capital to Borrower or any SPE Equity Owner.

 

(b) For purposes of Section 3(a) the term “ Related Party ” will include all of the following:

 

(i) Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

(iii) Any Person in which Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner has any ownership interest (direct or indirect) or right to manage.

 

Guaranty - Multistate Page 3  

 

 

(iv) Any Person in which any partner, shareholder or member of Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner has an ownership interest or right to manage.

 

(v) Any Person in which any Person holding an interest in Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner also has any ownership interest.

 

(vi) Any creditor (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower that is related by blood, marriage or adoption to Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

 

(vii) Any creditor (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower that is related to any partner, shareholder or member of, or any other Person holding an interest in, Borrower, any Guarantor or any SPE Equity Owner.

 

(c) If Borrower, any Guarantor, any SPE Equity Owner or any Related Party has solicited creditors to initiate or participate in any proceeding referred to in Section 3(a), regardless of whether any of the creditors solicited actually initiates or participates in the proceeding, then such proceeding will be considered as having been initiated by a Related Party.

 

4. Guarantor’s Obligations Survive Foreclosure. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty will survive any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the Security Instrument, and, in addition, the obligations of Guarantor relating to Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement, and Borrower’s obligations under Sections 6.12 and 10.02(b) of the Loan Agreement will survive any repayment or discharge of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender has never been a mortgagee-in-possession of or held title to the Mortgaged Property, Guarantor will have no obligation under this Guaranty relating to Borrower’s representations and warranties under Section 5.05 of the Loan Agreement or Borrower’s obligations relating to environmental matters under Sections 6.12 and 10.02(b) of the Loan Agreement after the date of the release of record of the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the payment in full of the Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or by voluntary prepayment in full.

 

5. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty constitute an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not merely a guaranty of collection.

 

6. No Demand by Lender Necessary; Waivers by Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty must be performed without demand by Lender and will be unconditional regardless of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, and without regard to any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all of the following:

 

(a) The benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations will not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor.

 

Guaranty - Multistate Page 4  

 

 

(b) The benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to a guarantor, a surety, a borrower or a mortgagor, and any other rights of a surety, a guarantor, a borrower or a mortgagor under such statutes or laws.

 

(c) Diligence in collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest, all notices with respect to the Note and this Guaranty which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender’s rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, including notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest, and notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness.

(i) Proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor of Borrower’s payment or performance under the Loan Documents (an “ Other Guarantor ”).

 

(ii) Proceed against any general partner of Borrower or any Other Guarantor if Borrower or any Other Guarantor is a partnership.

 

(iii) Proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the Indebtedness.

 

(iv) Pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against Borrower, or, if Borrower is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower.

 

(e) Any right to object to the timing, manner or conduct of Lender’s enforcement of its rights under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(f) Any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future advances by Lender under the terms of the Loan Agreement to protect Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property.

 

7. Modification of Loan Documents. At any time or from time to time and any number of times, without notice to Guarantor and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, all of the following will apply:

 

(a) Lender may extend the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness or renew the Indebtedness in whole or in part.

 

(b) Lender may extend the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether presently existing or entered into after the date of this Guaranty, or waive such performance or compliance.

 

(c) Lender may accelerate the Maturity Date of the Indebtedness as provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

 

(d) Lender and Borrower may modify or amend the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount.

 

Guaranty - Multistate Page 5  

 

 

(e) Lender may modify, exchange, surrender or otherwise deal with any security for the Indebtedness or accept additional security that is pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness.

 

8. Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of Guarantor (and each party named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty) and any Other Guarantor will be joint and several. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may take any of the following actions:

 

(a) Lender may bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, and any Other Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them.

 

(b) Lender may compromise or settle with Guarantor, any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper.

 

(c) Lender may release one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor in this Guaranty, or any Other Guarantor, from liability.

 

(d) Lender may otherwise deal with Guarantor and any Other Guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner.

 

No action of Lender described in this Section 8 will affect or impair the rights of Lender to collect from any one or more of the parties named as a Guarantor under this Guaranty any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

9. Limited Release of Guarantor Upon Transfer of Mortgaged Property. If Guarantor requests a release of its liability under this Guaranty in connection with a Transfer which Lender has approved pursuant to Section 7.05(a) of the Loan Agreement, and Borrower has provided a replacement Guarantor acceptable to Lender, then one of the following will apply:

 

(a) If Borrower delivers to Lender a Clean Site Assessment, then Lender will release Guarantor from all of Guarantor’s obligations except Guarantor’s obligation to guaranty Borrower’s liability under Section 6.12 (Environmental Hazards) or Section 10.02(b) (Environmental Indemnification) of the Loan Agreement with respect to any loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense which directly or indirectly arises from or relates to any Prohibited Activities or Conditions existing prior to the date of the Transfer.

 

(b) If Borrower does not deliver a Clean Site Assessment as described in Section 7.05(b)(i) of the Loan Agreement, then Lender will release Guarantor from all of Guarantor’s obligations except for Guarantor’s obligation to guaranty Borrower’s liability under Section 6.12 (Environmental Hazards) or Section 10.02(b) (Environmental Indemnification) of the Loan Agreement.

 

10. Subordination of Borrower’s Indebtedness to Guarantor. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and will be subordinated to the Indebtedness and Guarantor will collect, enforce and receive any such indebtedness of Borrower as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

 

Guaranty - Multistate Page 6  

 

 

11. Waiver of Subrogation. Guarantor will have no right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, 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 to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

 

12. Preference. If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund will not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty will not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

 

13. Financial Information and Litigation. Guarantor will deliver each of the following to Lender within 10 Business Days following a Notice from Lender requesting such information:

 

(a) Guarantor’s balance sheet and profit and loss statement as of the end of (A) the quarter that ended at least 30 days prior to the due date of the requested items, and/or (B) the fiscal year that ended at least 90 days prior to the due date of the requested items.

 

(b) Other Guarantor financial statements as Lender may reasonably require.

 

(c) Written updates on the status of all litigation proceedings that Guarantor disclosed or should have disclosed to Lender as of the date of this Guaranty.

 

(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, copies of Guarantor’s most recent filed state and federal tax returns, including any current tax return extensions.

 

14. Assignment. Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part and upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty will inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned. The terms used to designate any of the parties in this Guaranty will be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties, and the term “Lender” will also include any lawful owner, holder or pledgee of the Note.

 

15. Complete and Final Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has received a copy of the Note and all other Loan Documents. Neither this Guaranty nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except by a writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that writing.

 

16. Governing Law. This Guaranty will be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, without giving effect to the choice of law principles of the Property Jurisdiction that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Property Jurisdiction.

 

Guaranty - Multistate Page 7  

 

 

17. Jurisdiction; Venue. Guarantor agrees that any controversy arising under or in relation to this Guaranty may be litigated in the Property Jurisdiction, and that the state and federal courts and authorities with jurisdiction in the Property Jurisdiction will have jurisdiction over all controversies which may arise under or in relation to this Guaranty. Guarantor irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise.

A. Section 20 is deleted and replaced with the following:

 

20. Minimum Net Worth/Liquidity Requirements.

 

(a) Guarantor must maintain a minimum net worth of $21,688,200.00 with liquid assets of at least $7,229,400.00 (collectively, “ Minimum Net Worth Requirement ”).

 

(b) In addition to the financial information that Guarantor is required to provide pursuant to Section 13 of this Guaranty, annually within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor (or at the end of each calendar year with respect to any Guarantor that is an individual), Guarantor must provide Lender with a written certification (“ Guarantor Certification ”) of the net worth and liquid assets of Guarantor, derived in accordance with customarily acceptable accounting practices. The Guarantor must certify the Guarantor Certification under penalty of perjury as true and complete.

 

(c) Within 30 days of receipt of Notice from Lender that Guarantor has failed to maintain the Minimum Net Worth Requirement, Guarantor must either:

 

(i) cause one or more natural persons or entities who individually or collectively, as applicable, meet the Minimum Net Worth Requirement and is/are acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, to execute and deliver to Lender a guaranty in the same form as this Guaranty, without any cost or expense to Lender; or

 

(ii) deliver to Lender a letter of credit or other collateral acceptable to Lender in its discretion meeting the following conditions, as applicable:

 

(A) If Guarantor supplies a letter of credit, the letter of credit must be in the form required by Lender and satisfy the requirements for Letters of Credit set forth in Section 11.15 of the Loan Agreement, except that an updated nonconsolidation opinion will not be required.

(f) If there is more than one Guarantor, Lender will determine compliance with the Minimum Net Worth Requirement based on the aggregate net worth and liquid assets of all Guarantors of the Indebtedness. However, each Guarantor will otherwise satisfy all other requirements of this Section 20 on an individual basis at all times.

ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND
SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT FEES

 

(Revised 7-12-2016)

 

THIS ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT FEES (“ Assignment ”) is made effective as of the 30 th day of October, 2017, by and among BR HUNTERS CREEK, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“ Borrower ”), WALKER & DUNLOP, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“ Lender ”), and CARROLL MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC , a Georgia limited liability company (“ Property Manager ”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A. Borrower has requested that Lender make a loan to Borrower (“ Loan ”). The Loan will be evidenced by an Amended and Restated Multifamily Note from Borrower to Lender effective as of the date of this Assignment (“ Note ”). The Note is secured by, among other things, a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (“ Loan Agreement ”) and an Amended and Restated Multifamily Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (“ Security Instrument ”), dated as of the date of this Assignment, which grants Lender a first lien on the property encumbered by the Security Instrument (“ Mortgaged Property ”). The Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, this Assignment and any of the other documents evidencing the Loan are collectively referred to as the “ Loan Documents ”. Other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Assignment will have the meanings given to those terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

B. Pursuant to a Management Agreement between Borrower and Property Manager (“ Management Agreement ”) (a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit B ), Borrower employed Property Manager exclusively to lease, operate and manage the Mortgaged Property, and Property Manager is entitled to certain management fees (“ Management Fees ”) pursuant to the Management Agreement.

 

C. Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan that Borrower assign the Management Agreement and that Property Manager subordinate its interest in the Management Fees in lien and payment to the Loan as set forth below.

 

For good and valuable consideration the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Assignment of Management Agreement . As additional collateral security for the Loan, Borrower conditionally transfers, sets over, and assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement and all extensions and renewals. This transfer and assignment will automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender’s option, upon a default by Borrower under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents (each, an “ Event of Default ”), and the failure of Borrower to cure such Event of Default within any applicable grace period.

Assignment of Management Agreement and

Subordination of Management Fees

 

 

 

 

2. Subordination of Management Fees. The Management Fees and all rights and privileges of Property Manager to the Management Fees are and will at all times continue to be subject and unconditionally subordinate in all respects in lien and payment to the lien and payment of the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, assignments, replacements, or consolidations of the Loan Documents and the rights, privileges, and powers of Lender under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

3. Estoppel. Property Manager and Borrower represent and warrant that all of the following are true as of the date of this Assignment:

 

(a) The Management Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned other than pursuant to this Assignment.

 

(b) Neither Property Manager nor Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the Management Agreement and Property Manager knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Management Agreement.

 

(c) Neither Property Manager nor Borrower has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Management Agreement.

 

(d) The Management Fees and all other sums due and payable to the Property Manager under the Management Agreement have been paid in full.

 

4. Agreement by Borrower and Property Manager. Borrower and Property Manager agree that if there is an Event of Default by Borrower (continuing beyond any applicable grace period) under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents during the term of this Assignment or upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle Lender to terminate the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Lender may terminate the Management Agreement without payment of any cancellation fee or penalty and require Property Manager to transfer its responsibility for the management of the Mortgaged Property to a management company selected by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, effective as of the date set forth in Lender’s notice to Property Manager. Following any such termination, Property Manager agrees to apply all rents, security deposits, issues, proceeds and profits of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Lender’s written directions to Property Manager.

 

5. Lender’s Right to Replace Property Manager. If Lender, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, at any time during the term of this Assignment, determines that the Mortgaged Property is not being managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for properties similar to the Mortgaged Property, Lender will deliver written notice to Borrower and Property Manager, which notice will specify with particularity the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or Property Manager within 30 days from receipt of such notice or that Borrower or Property Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within such 30-day period, Lender may direct Borrower to terminate Property Manager as manager of the Mortgaged Property and terminate the Management Agreement without payment of any cancellation fee or penalty and to replace Property Manager with a management company acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion pursuant to a management agreement acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion.

6. Receipt of Management Fees. Property Manager will not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any Management Fees or other fee, commission or other amount received by Property Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Property Manager was entitled under the Management Agreement. If the Property Manager receives any Management Fees after it has received notice of an Event of Default, Property Manager agrees that such Management Fees will be received and held in trust for Lender, to be applied by Lender to amounts due under the Loan Documents.

 

7. Consent and Agreement by Property Manager .

Further, Property Manager agrees as follows:

 

(a) It will not contest or impede the exercise by Lender of any right Lender has under or in connection with this Assignment.

If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or Property Manager within 30 days from receipt of such notice or that Borrower or Property Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within such 30-day period, Lender may direct Borrower to terminate Property Manager as manager of the Mortgaged Property and terminate the Management Agreement without payment of any cancellation fee or penalty ; provided, that Borrower shall pay Property Manager for all management fees, commissions and other amounts due and payable through the date of termination , and to replace Property Manager with a management company acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion pursuant to a management agreement acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion.

6. Receipt of Management Fees. Property Manager will not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any Management Fees or other fee, commission or other amount received by Property Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Property Manager was entitled under the Management Agreement. If the Property Manager receives any Management Fees after it has received notice of an Event of Default, Property Manager agrees that such Management Fees will be received and held in trust for Lender, to be applied by Lender to amounts due under the Loan Documents ; provided, that if Property Manager is not otherwise permitted to terminate the Management Agreement, Borrower shall continue to pay Property Manager all management fees, commissions and other amounts due and payable after the occurrence of the Event of Default and through the date of termination .

THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT (“Joinder Agreement”) is executed as of October 30, 2017, by BR METROWEST, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Joining Party”), and delivered to KeyBank National Association, as Agent, pursuant to §5.5 of the Credit Agreement dated as of October 4, 2017, as from time to time in effect (the “Credit Agreement”), among BLUEROCK RESIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, L.P. (the “Parent Borrower”), the other Borrowers, KeyBank National Association, for itself and as Agent, and the other Lenders from time to time party thereto. Terms used but not defined in this Joinder Agreement shall have the meanings defined for those terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

RECITALS

 

A.       Joining Party is required, pursuant to §5.5 of the Credit Agreement, to become an additional Subsidiary Credit Party under the Credit Agreement; provided however, because the Joining Party is joining the Credit Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor, Joining Party is expressly not joining the Notes and shall have no liability under the Notes except as set forth in any Subsidiary Guaranty as a guarantor thereof.

 

B.       Joining Party expects to realize direct and indirect benefits as a result of the availability to Borrowers of the credit facilities under the Credit Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Joining Party agrees as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

Joinder . By this Joinder Agreement, Joining Party hereby becomes a “Subsidiary Credit Party” under the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (other than the Notes) with respect to all the Obligations of Subsidiary Credit Parties now or hereafter incurred under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Notes). Joining Party agrees that Joining Party is and shall be bound by, and hereby assumes, all representations, warranties, covenants, terms, conditions, duties and waivers applicable to a Subsidiary Credit Party under the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents from and after the Effective Date, including such provisions that apply to any Subsidiary Borrower as the same may be modified to reflect Joining Party’s status as a Subsidiary Guarantor of, rather than a party to, the Notes.

 

Representations and Warranties of Joining Party . Joining Party represents and warrants to Agent that, as of the Effective Date (as defined below), except as disclosed in writing by Joining Party to Agent on or prior to the date hereof and approved by the Agent in writing (which disclosures shall be deemed to amend the Schedules and other disclosures delivered as contemplated in the Credit Agreement), the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as applied to Joining Party as a Subsidiary Credit Party and a Subsidiary Guarantor on and as of the Effective Date as though made on that date. As of the Effective Date, all covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents of the Credit Parties are true and correct with respect to Joining Party and no Default or Event of Default shall exist or might exist upon the Effective Date in the event that Joining Party becomes a Subsidiary Credit Party.

 

 

 

 

Joint and Several . Joining Party hereby agrees that, as of the Effective Date, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents heretofore delivered to the Agent and the Lenders shall be a joint and several obligation of Joining Party to the same extent as if executed and delivered by Joining Party (provided however, because the Joining Party is joining the Credit Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor, Joining Party is expressly not joining the Notes and shall have no liability under the Notes except as set forth in any Subsidiary Guaranty as a guarantor thereof), and upon request by Agent, will promptly become a party to the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (excluding the Notes) to confirm such obligation.

 

Further Assurances . Joining Party agrees to execute and deliver such other instruments and documents and take such other action, as the Agent may reasonably request, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Joinder Agreement.

 

GOVERNING LAW . THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION UNDER, AND SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

 

The effective date (the “Effective Date”) of this Joinder Agreement is October 30, 2017.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

 

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY (this “ Guaranty ”) dated as of October 30, 2017, executed and delivered by the undersigned BR METROWEST, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Guarantor ”), in favor of (a) KeyBank National Association , in its capacity as Administrative Agent (the “ Agent ”) for the Lenders under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 4, 2017, between and among BLUEROCK RESIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and various other Subsidiaries thereof as “Borrower” (collectively, the “ Borrower ”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees in accordance therewith (the “ Lenders ”), and the Agent (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “ Credit Agreement ”) and (b) the Lenders.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Guarantor, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein;

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor’s guarantee of the Borrower’s obligations to Agent and the Lenders under this Guaranty shall be secured by a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “ Mortgage ”), and a Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents (the “ Assignment of Leases ”), both dated as of October 30, 2017, and executed by Guarantor in favor of Agent; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is one of the conditions precedent to the Agent and the Lenders making, or continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

Section 1. Guaranty . Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the following when due (collectively referred to as the “ Obligations ”): (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any of the Lenders or the Agent under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the payment of all interest, fees, charges, reasonable attorneys fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Agent thereunder or in connection therewith (including any Hedge Obligations but expressly excluding any Excluded Swap Obligations); (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; and (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders or the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of Guarantor hereunder.

 

 

 

 

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection . This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Agent may have against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders or the Agent which may secure any of the Obligations. In this connection, Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of Guarantor to require any holder of the Obligations to take action against the Borrower as provided by any legal requirement of any Governmental Authority.

 

This Guaranty shall be secured by the Mortgage and Assignment of Leases.

 

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute . Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any legal requirement now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (except in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Credit Agreement if all Collateral Properties owned by Guarantor are released in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the following (whether or not Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

 

(a)       (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Obligations; (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligations; or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

(b)       any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

- 2 -

 

 

(c)       any furnishing to the Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral security for the Obligations;

 

(d)       any settlement or compromise of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower;

 

(e)       any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

 

(f)       any nonperfection of any security interest or other Lien on any of the collateral securing any of the Obligations;

 

(g)      any act or failure to act by the Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

 

(h)      any application of sums paid by the Borrower or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

 

(i)       any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

 

(j)       any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Guarantor hereunder (other than payment or satisfaction of such Obligations).

 

Section 4. Action with Respect to Obligations . The Lenders and the Agent may in accordance with the Credit Agreement, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, and without discharging Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Obligations or the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Person (other than Guarantor) liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other guarantor); and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Obligations in such order as the Lenders or the Agent shall elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 5. Representations and Warranties . Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties with respect to or in any way relating to a Subsidiary Credit Party in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

 

- 3 -

 

 

Section 6. Covenants . Guarantor will comply with all covenants which a Subsidiary Credit Party is to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7. Waiver . Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan . If the Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented from demanding or accelerating payment of any Loan under the Credit Agreement by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due with respect to such Loan had such demand or acceleration occurred.

 

Section 9. Reinstatement of Obligations . Subject to Section 5.6 of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, with respect to any Obligations if at any time payment of any such Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored by the Agent and/or the Lenders upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise.

 

Section 10. Subrogation . Subject to Section 5.6 of the Credit Agreement, until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, any right of subrogation Guarantor may have with respect to the Obligations shall be subordinate to the rights of Agent and the Lenders and Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent and/or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Obligations, and, other than with respect to any Collateral Property owned by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent and the Lenders to secure payment or performance of any of the Obligations.

 

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear . All sums payable by Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any tax or other charge; provided that if Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any taxes or other charge from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) Guarantor shall make such deductions; and (iii) Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

Section 12. Set-off . Guarantor hereby grants to Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a security interest in and lien on all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Agent to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender is hereby authorized, with the consent of Agent, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding any funds held by the Guarantor on behalf of tenants or other third parties) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty held by such Lender then due and payable.

 

- 4 -

 

 

Section 13. Subordination . Other than with respect to any Distributions permitted under the Credit Agreement, Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any other guarantor to Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of Guarantor from the Borrower or any other guarantor (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Other than with respect to any Distributions permitted under the Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Guarantor shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower or any other guarantor on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions . It is the intent of Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, Guarantor’s maximum Obligations hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions.” Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

 

- 5 -

 

 

Section 15. Information . Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, of any other guarantors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

Section 16. Governing Law . THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

 

Section 17. Jurisdiction; Venue; JURY WAIVER .

 

(a)        Jurisdiction; Venue . GUARANTOR AND (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AGREE THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN). GUARANTOR AND (BY THE ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FURTHER ACCEPT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND ANY RELATED APPELLATE COURT AND IRREVOCABLY (i) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY AND (ii) WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH A COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. IN ADDITION TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN, THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY BRING ACTION(S) FOR ENFORCEMENT ON A NON-EXCLUSIVE BASIS WHERE ANY ASSETS OF GUARANTOR EXIST AND GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING CHOICE OF NEW YORK LAW WAS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IN ENTERING INTO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND IN MAKING THE LOANS THEREUNDER. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

 

- 6 -

 

 

(b)        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .

(i) As further security for the repayment of the Obligations and any amounts due pursuant to this Mortgage, Mortgagor does hereby sell, assign and transfer to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all rents, leases, issues, deposits and profits now due and which may hereinafter become due under or by reason of any lease or any letting of, or any agreement for the use, sale, or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (whether written or verbal), which may have been heretofore or may hereafter be made or agreed to or which may be made or agreed to by Agent under the powers herein granted, including without limitation sale contracts, leases, escrow and other agreements, it being Mortgagor’s intention hereby to establish an absolute transfer and assignment of all such leases, contracts, escrows and agreements pertaining thereto (such leases, contracts, escrows and agreements being collectively referred to hereinbelow as “agreements” and any such individual lease, contract, escrow or other agreement being referred to hereinbelow as an “agreement”), and all the avails thereof, to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders.

 

So long as (i) no Event of Default exists and (ii) no default has occurred and is continuing uncured beyond the applicable notice and grace period, if any, in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement herein, or in the other Loan Documents, contained and on the part of Mortgagor to be performed (collectively, a “Continuing Default”), Mortgagor shall have the right and license to manage, lease and operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect at the time of, but not more than one (1) month prior to, the date provided for the payment thereof, all rents, income and profits arising under the Leases or from the premises described therein and, subject to the provisions of the other Loan Documents, to retain, use and enjoy the same.

 

At any time when a Continuing Default exists, Agent, without in any way waiving such default, may at its option, without notice, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the obligations secured hereby revoke the right and license granted above to Mortgagor and Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably appoint Agent as its true and lawful attorney in its name and stead (with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property) to rent, lease, let, or sell all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such price and upon such term as Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, to exercise any and all rights including rights of first refusal and options of any Mortgagor to purchase and otherwise acquire title to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and to collect all of such rents, issues, deposits, profits and avails now due or that may hereafter become due under any and all of such agreements or other tenancies now or hereafter existing on the Mortgaged Property, with the same rights and powers and subject to the same immunities, exoneration of liability and rights of recourse and indemnity as Agent would have upon taking possession of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the provisions set forth hereinbelow.

 

This assignment confers upon Agent a power coupled with an interest and it cannot be revoked by Mortgagor.

 

(ii)          Mortgagor represents and agrees that without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no rent for right of future possession will be paid by any person in possession of any portion of the Mortgaged Property in excess of one installment thereof paid in advance (other than with respect to security deposits and last month’s rents collected in the ordinary course of business) and that no payment of rents to become due for any portion of the Mortgaged Property has been or will be waived, conceded, released, reduced, discounted, or otherwise discharged or compromised by Mortgagor other than in connection with the grant of market related concessions appropriate to attract tenants. Mortgagor agrees that it will not assign any of such rents, issues, profits, deposits or avails other than with respect to the Loan or as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

(iii)         Mortgagor further agrees to assign and transfer to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all future leases and agreements pertaining to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and to execute and deliver to Agent, immediately upon demand of Agent, all such further assurances and assignments pertaining to the Mortgaged Property as Agent may from time to time require.

 

(iv)         Mortgagor shall, at its own cost: (a) at all times materially perform and observe all of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the lessor under the terms of any or all Leases or similar agreements affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; (b) at all times enforce and secure the performance and observance of all of the material covenants, conditions and agreements of the lessees under the terms of any or all of said Leases or other agreements; (c) appear in and defend any action or other proceeding arising out of or in any manner connected with said Leases and other agreements, and to pay any and all costs of Agent incurred by reason of or in connection with said proceedings, including, without limitation, reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs; and (d) promptly furnish Agent with copies of any notices of default either sent or received by Mortgagor under the terms of or pursuant to any of said Leases or other agreements.

 

(v)          Although it is the intention of Mortgagor and Agent that the assignment, including, without limitation, the power of attorney appointment, contained in this Section 15 is a present assignment, it is expressly understood and agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that Agent shall not exercise any of the rights and powers conferred upon it herein unless and until an Event of Default has occurred, and is continuing.

 

(vi)         Agent, in the exercise of the rights and powers conferred upon it herein, shall have full power to use and apply the rents, issues, deposits, profits and avails of the Mortgaged Property to the payment of or on account of the following, in such order as set forth in the Credit Agreement or, if not addressed therein, in such order as Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion determine:

(d)          any Obligations or any deficiency that may result from any foreclosure sale pursuant thereto; and

 

(e)          any remaining funds to Mortgagor or its successors or assigns, as their interests and rights may appear.

 

(vii)        Mortgagor does further specifically authorize and instruct each and every present and future lessee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to pay all unpaid rentals or deposits agreed upon in any lease or agreement pertaining to the Mortgaged Property to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, upon receipt of demand from Agent to pay the same without any further notice or authorization by Mortgagor, and Mortgagor hereby waives any rights or claims it may have against any lessee by reason of such payments to Agent.

 

(viii)       Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does Agent or any Lender hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or agreement pertaining to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liability, loss and damage that Agent or any Lender may or might incur under any such Lease or agreement or under or by reason of the assignment thereof, as well as any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on Agent’s or any Lender’s part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in such Leases or agreements, except to the extent caused by the negligence or omissions of Agent or any of its agents in the exercise of its rights and remedies. Should Agent or any Lender incur any such liability, loss or damage under any such Lease or agreement, or under or by reason of the assignment thereof, or in the defense of any claims or demands relating thereto, Mortgagor shall reimburse Agent and such Lender for the amount thereof (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs) immediately upon demand

 

(ix)          Nothing herein contained shall be construed as making or constituting Agent or any Lender a “mortgagee in possession” in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Mortgaged Property by Agent pursuant to the provisions set forth herein. In the exercise of the powers herein granted Agent, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Agent or any Lender, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Mortgagor.

 

(x)           Intentionally Omitted.

Mortgagor may not use the cash collateral without the consent of Agent and/or an order of any bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 363(c)(2), and Mortgagor hereby waives any right it may have to assert that such rents, leases, issues, deposits and profits do not constitute cash collateral. No consent by Agent to the use of cash collateral by Mortgagor shall be deemed to constitute Agent’s approval, as the case may be, of the purpose for which such cash collateral was expended.

19.6         Add to Secured Indebtedness . All obligations so paid or incurred by Agent shall be reimbursed or paid for by Mortgagor upon demand and prior to the repayment thereof shall be added to the Obligations secured hereby and shall bear interest at the Default Rate provided for in the Note, the Subsidiary Guaranty or the Credit Agreement, and shall be secured hereby equally and ratably. Agent may also reimburse itself therefor from the income or receipts of the Mortgaged Property or any business conducted thereon, or from the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Agent may also apply toward any of the Obligations any tax or insurance reserve account, deposit or any sum credited or due from Agent to Mortgagor without first enforcing any other rights of Agent against Mortgagor or against any endorser or guarantor of any of the Obligations or against the Mortgaged Property.

Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Agent pursuant to the powers and rights granted it hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder or any one or more of the other Loan Documents, and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Agent under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents. The right of Agent to collect said principal sums, interest and indebtedness and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Agent either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder.

 

5.5        No Liability . Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Agent’s failure to let the Property after default or from any other act or omission of Agent in managing the Property after default unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. Agent shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does Agent hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases, under any ground lease, or under or by reason of this Assignment, and Assignor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify Agent and each of the Lenders for, and to defend and hold Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases or any ground lease. Should Agent or any Lender incur any such liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment, or in defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees shall be secured hereby and by the Mortgage and by the other collateral for the Obligations and Assignor shall reimburse Agent and the Lenders therefor immediately upon demand and upon the failure of Assignor so to do, Agent may, at its option, declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable. It is further understood that this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of said Property upon Agent, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases or any ground lease; nor shall it operate to make Agent responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of said Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and the Lenders shall not be indemnified on account of, or exculpated from acts of, their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.6        Effect of Foreclosure Deed. Unless Agent otherwise elects in the instance of a Lease which is subordinate to the Mortgage and is thus terminated by the foreclosure, upon the issuance of any deed or deeds pursuant to a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of the Mortgage, all right, title and interest of Assignor in and to the Leases shall, by virtue of this instrument and such deed or deeds, thereupon vest in and become the absolute property of the grantee or grantees in such deed or deeds without any further act or assignment by Assignor. Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent and its successors and assigns as its agent and attorney in fact to execute all instruments of assignment for further assurance in favor of such grantee or grantees in such deed or deeds as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose.

 

5.7        Upon Termination of Lease in Bankruptcy . In the event any lessee under any of the Leases should be the subject of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time, or any other federal, state or local statute which provides for the possible termination or rejection of the Leases assigned hereby, Assignor covenants and agrees that, if any of the Leases is so terminated or rejected, no settlement for damages shall be made without the prior written consent of Agent, in each instance, and any check in payment of damages for termination or rejection of any such Lease will be made payable both to Assignor and Agent. Assignor hereby assigns any such payment to Agent and further covenants and agrees that upon the request of Agent after an Event of Default, Assignor will duly endorse to the order of Agent any such check, the proceeds of which will be applied to the indebtedness secured by this Assignment. Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent and its successors and assigns as its-attorney-in-fact to so endorse any such checks if Assignor does not do so after written notice from Agent.

 

5.8        Rights Contained in Mortgage . This Assignment is intended to be supplementary to, and not in substitution for, or in derogation of, any assignment of rents to secure the Obligations contained in the Mortgage or in any other Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between this Assignment and any of the other Loan Documents, Agent shall have the right from time to time to determine which provisions shall govern.

Enforcement of any and all remedies of Assignee hereunder shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida

 

6.4        Exceptions . Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law:

 

A.       The creation and perfection of the lien and any assignment of rents and security interest hereunder and the procedures governing the enforcement by Agent and the Lenders of its exercise of its remedies against Assignor under this Assignment, the Mortgage and under the other Loan Documents with respect to the Mortgaged Property to which any Assignor is a party or other assets situated in the State of Florida, including by way of illustration, but not in limitation, non-judicial foreclosure and actions for foreclosure, for injunctive relief, or for the appointment of a receiver, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida; and

 

B.       Agent and the Lenders shall comply with applicable law in the State of Florida to the extent required in connection with the foreclosure of the security interests and liens created under this Assignment, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Mortgaged Property or other assets situated in the State of Florida.

 

Nothing contained herein or any other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to provide that the substantive laws of the State of Florida shall apply to any party’s rights and obligations under any of the Loan Documents, which are and shall continue to be governed by the substantive law of State of New York, except as expressly set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 6.4. In addition, the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may include provisions drafted to conform to the law of the State of Florida is not intended, nor shall it be deemed, in any way, to derogate the parties’ choice of law as set forth or referred to in this Assignment, the Mortgage, the Credit Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The parties further agree that Agent may enforce its rights under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, its rights to sue Assignor or to collect any outstanding indebtedness in accordance with applicable law.

7.1        Florida Law . This Assignment is intended to be an absolute assignment of leases, rents and profits under the applicable laws of the State of Florida. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction construes this Assignment to be collateral that secures the obligations of Assignor rather than an absolute assignment, this Assignment shall constitute an assignment of rents which grants a security interest in the collateral as set forth under any applicable laws of the State of Florida.

 

7.2        Florida Law Provisions . The assignments of leases and rents contained in this Assignment and in the Mortgage are intended to provide Agent on behalf of the Lenders with all of the rights and remedies of mortgagees pursuant to Section 697.07 of the Florida Statutes (hereinafter "Section 697.07"), as may be amended from time to time. However, in no event shall this reference diminish, alter, impair, or affect any other rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders, including but not limited to, the appointment of a receiver, nor shall any provision in this section diminish, alter, impair or affect any rights or powers of the receiver in law or equity or as set forth in the Mortgage or herein. In addition, this Assignment shall be fully operative without regard to value of the Property or without regard to the adequacy of the Property to serve as security for the obligations owed by Assignor to Agent and the Lenders, and shall be in addition to any rights arising under Section 697.07. Further, except for the notices required hereunder or in the Mortgage, if any, Assignor hereby waives any notice of default or demand for turnover of rents by Agent and the Lenders, together with any rights under Section 697.07 to apply to a court to deposit the rents or any other payments into the registry of the court or such other depository as the court may designate.

6. RIGHTS OF ASSIGNOR PRIOR TO DEFAULT . So long as there is no continuing Event of Default, Assignor shall have and may exercise all rights as the owner or holder of the Assigned Contracts and Permits which are lawful and are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the right described in the preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, and in such event Agent is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized, but not required, to exercise every right, option, power or authority inuring to Assignor under any one or more of the Assigned Contracts and Permits as fully as Assignor could itself.

 

7. IRREVOCABLE DIRECTION . Assignor hereby irrevocably directs the contracting party to, or grantor or licensor of, any such Assigned Contract and Permit, to the extent not prohibited by either such Assigned Contract and Permit or applicable law, or to the extent permitted under any recognition or other agreement executed by such grantor or licensor, upon demand and after notice from Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, to recognize and accept Agent as the holder of such Assigned Contract and Permit for any and all purposes as fully as it would recognize and accept Assignor and the performance of Assignor thereunder. Assignor does hereby constitute and appoint Agent, while this Collateral Assignment remains in force and effect, irrevocably, and with full power of substitution and revocation, its true and lawful attorney for and in its name, place and stead, after the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, to demand and enforce compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Assigned Contracts and Permits and all benefits accrued thereunder, whether at law, in equity or otherwise.

  - 3 -  

 

 

9. INDEMNIFICATION . Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and to defend and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against and from all liability, loss, damage and expense, including reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees, which it may or shall incur by reason of this Collateral Assignment, or by reason of any commercially reasonable action taken in good faith by Agent hereunder or with respect to the Assigned Contracts and Permits, and against and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any of the Assigned Contracts and Permits and except for any loss, damage, or expense arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, Lenders, or the agents of any of them.

Nothing contained herein or elsewhere shall operate to obligate, or be construed to obligate, Agent or any Lender to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Assigned Contracts and Permits or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Agent or any Lender with respect to the Assigned Contracts and Permits prior to written notice by Agent to Assignor of Agent’s election to assume Assignor’s obligations under one or more of the Assigned Contracts and Permits. Prior to written notice from Agent of such election, this Collateral Assignment shall not operate to place upon Agent any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Property or for the payment, performance or observance of any obligation, requirement or condition under any such Assigned Contract and Permit, or under any agreement in respect to any such Assigned Contract and Permit, and the execution of this Collateral Assignment by Assignor shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Property as well as the payment, performance or observance of any obligation, requirement or condition under the Assigned Contracts and Permits is and shall be that of Assignor, prior to written notice from Agent of such election. Even if Agent does exercise its rights, it shall only be liable to any of the other parties to the Assigned Contracts and Permits only during the period that it is exercising the rights of Assignor under the Assigned Contracts and Permits, and at all times Assignor retains the obligation to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand or otherwise pay when due all obligations incurred in connection with the Assigned Contracts and Permits.

 

11. FURTHER ASSURANCES; UCC FILINGS . Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Agent, at any time or times during which this Collateral Assignment shall be in effect, such further instruments as Agent in good faith may reasonably deem necessary to make effective this Collateral Assignment, the security interest created hereby and the covenants of Assignor herein contained. To evidence such security interest, at the request of Agent, Assignor shall, in a form satisfactory to Agent, execute and deliver one or more financing statements, and any continuation thereof, pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located and shall pay the cost for filing thereof.

 

  - 4 -  

 

 

12. NO WAIVER: CUMULATIVE RIGHTS . Failure of Agent to avail itself of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Collateral Assignment for any period of time, or at any time or times, shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any of its rights hereunder. The rights and remedies of Agent under this Collateral Assignment are cumulative and are not in lieu of, but are in addition to, any other rights and remedies which Agent shall have under or by virtue of the Obligations and the Loan Documents. The rights and remedies of Agent hereunder may be exercised from time to time and as often as such exercise is deemed expedient by Agent.

 

13. AGENT/LENDER: RIGHT TO ASSIGN . Assignor agrees that upon any sale or transfer by Agent and the Lenders of the Loan Documents and the indebtedness evidenced thereby in accordance with the Credit Agreement, or upon any person acquiring the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, Agent may deliver to the purchaser or transferee the Assigned Contracts and Permits and may assign to such purchaser or transferee the rights of Agent hereunder, who shall thereupon become vested with all powers and rights given to Agent and the Lenders in respect thereto (and subject to Agent’s obligations hereunder), and Agent and the Lenders shall be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility thereafter accruing in connection therewith, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. In no event shall Agent be liable with respect to, or on account of, the Assigned Contracts and Permits, except for the safekeeping of any instruments delivered to Agent pursuant hereto, and Agent shall specifically have no obligation to enforce any rights against any contractor, or grantor or issuer.

 

14. TERMINATION AND REASSIGNMENT . Upon full payment and performance of the obligations and liabilities set forth or contained in this Collateral Assignment and the other Loan Documents (excluding only any liabilities which might arise in the future under the Environmental Indemnity), or upon the earlier release of the Mortgage, this Collateral Assignment shall become and be void and of no effect and, in that event, upon the request of Assignor, Agent covenants to execute and deliver to Assignor instruments effective to evidence the termination of this Collateral Assignment and the reassignment (without recourse) to Assignor of the Assigned Contracts and Permits and the rights, title, interest, power and authority assigned herein; provided, however, that any affidavit, certificate or other written statement of any officer of Agent stating that any part of said indebtedness remains unpaid shall be and constitute conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the then validity, effectiveness and continuing force of this Collateral Assignment and any person, firm, or corporation receiving any such affidavit, certificate or statement may, and is hereby authorized to rely thereon.

 

15. COPIES OF DEFAULT NOTICES . Assignor agrees to provide Agent promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt or knowledge thereof by Assignor, with copies of any and all notices received by Assignor which allege, either directly or indirectly, that Assignor is in default of, or deficient in the performance of the terms of any obligation of Assignor under, any Assigned Contract and Permit, or that any fact or circumstance exists which could reasonably lead to the termination, suspension, revocation or loss of any Assigned Contract and Permit, but the notice under this Section 15 shall only be required if the alleged default, deficiency, fact, or circumstance could reasonably give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

 

  - 5 -

20. GRACE PERIODS AND NOTICE . The cure period and notice provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to any default under this Collateral Assignment.

22. GOVERNING LAW . This Collateral Assignment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

4. Any action or proceedings to enforce this Assignment against the Manager may be taken by the Agent either in its name or in the name of the Assignor as the Agent may deem necessary.

 

5. The Manager has assented to this Assignment and hereby acknowledges this Assignment of the Management Contract to the Agent and the Lenders and consents thereto. The Manager agrees that it will furnish to the Agent copies of all written notices given to the Assignor with respect to any default of the Assignor under the Management Contract, simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the Assignor, and anything in the Management Contract to the contrary notwithstanding, agrees that the Agent shall have a reasonable opportunity, not to exceed ninety (90) days, to cure any such default. The Manager further agrees that it will accept any such performance by the Agent which cures such default. So long as the Agent commences to cure or causes to be cured any such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default by Lender, and the elimination of any such default is carried on with due diligence, the Manager will continue to fully meet its obligations under the Management Contract, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days, to the end that there shall be no interruption of the work called for thereby.

 

6. The Manager (by its assent hereto) agrees that unless the Agent expressly assumes the obligations of the Assignor under the Management Contract, the Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Assignor under the Management Contract, nor shall the Agent or any Lender be under any liability of any kind to Manager under the Management Contract or by reason of any services furnished by the Manager to or for the account or benefit of the Assignor. This Assignment does not release or affect in any way the obligations of the Assignor to the Manager.

 

7. The Manager agrees to promptly, punctually and faithfully perform the responsibilities of the Manager in accordance with the Management Contract. Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of the Management Contract, in the event the Assignor defaults thereunder, the Manager shall be obligated to continue to fully meet its obligations under the Management Contract (other than any obligations to advance any funds of the Manager for the benefit of Facility) without any further right to any payment for services rendered in connection with the operation of the Facility; provided, however, if the Manager is required to so meet its obligations without payment, the Manager may terminate the Management Contract upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Assignor and the Agent. Further, regardless of Manager’s continuing to meet its obligations under the Management Contract, the Manager agrees that the Agent and the Lenders shall not be under any liability to the Manager by reason of any services rendered by the Manager to or for the account or benefit of the Assignor, whether prior to or after the date of any such default by Assignor, unless Agent specifically acknowledges its liability for such amounts.

8. The rights of the Agent hereunder may be fully exercised by the Agent’s designee or assignee. Further, upon the assignment by the Agent of its rights hereunder, the Agent shall be automatically released from any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder or under the Management Contract.

 

9. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Manager agrees that:

 

a. all payments to be made to the Manager under the Management Contract shall cease until the Event of Default is cured or waived in writing by the Agent and the Manager receives written notice from the Agent that it may resume receiving said payments; provided, however, if the Manager is required to fully meet its obligations under the Management Contract without payment, the Manager may terminate the Management Contract upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Assignor and the Agent;

 

b. all of the Manager’s rights to payment (other than reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of Assignor), and all other rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions as set forth in the Management Contract shall be subject to and subordinate to prior payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents; provided, however, as long as no Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, Manager may be paid, when due, all fees payable to Manager under the Management Contract and in the case of nonpayment, as contemplated in Section 9(a) above, Manager may terminate the Management Contract;

 

c. any and all amounts which are collected, enforced or received by the Manager shall be held by the Manager as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the Agent on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Agent under the Loan Documents; and

 

d. the Agent may, upon thirty (30) days written notice, terminate the Management Contract without being subject to any termination fee, penalty, fine, or assessment, whatsoever.

 

10. This Assignment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
