Business Restriction Representation and Warranty. Grantor represents and warrants that Grantor, all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in Grantor, all guarantors of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, and all persons and entities executing any separate indemnity agreement in favor of Beneficiary in connection with the Indebtedness: (i) are not, and shall not become, a person or entity with whom Beneficiary is restricted from doing business with under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including, but not limited to, those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, but not limited to, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action; (ii) are not knowingly engaged in, and shall not engage in, any dealings or transaction or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities described in (i) above; and (iii) are not, and shall not become, a person or entity whose activities are regulated by the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders thereunder.

Insurance. Grantor agrees to keep the Property insured for the protection of Beneficiary and Beneficiary’s wholly owned subsidiaries and agents in such manner, in such amounts and in such companies as Beneficiary may from time to time approve, and to keep the policies therefor, properly endorsed, on deposit with Beneficiary, or at Beneficiary’s option, to keep certificates of insurance (Acord 28 or 27 for all property insurance and Acord 25 for all liability insurance) evidencing all insurance coverages required hereunder on deposit with Beneficiary, which certificates shall provide at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation to Beneficiary and shall list Beneficiary as the certificate holder; that insurance loss proceeds from all property insurance policies, whether or not required by Beneficiary (less expenses of collection) shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or to the restoration of the Property, or be released to Grantor, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents. If Beneficiary elects to apply the insurance loss proceeds on the Indebtedness, no prepayment privilege fee shall be due thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, Beneficiary agrees that if the insurance loss proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and if the casualty occurs prior to the last year of the term of the Note, then the insurance loss proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to restoration of the Property to its condition prior to the casualty, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

  (a) There is no existing Event of Default at the time of casualty.

 

  (b) The casualty insurer has not denied liability for payment of insurance loss proceeds as a result of any act, neglect, use or occupancy of the Property by Grantor or any tenant of the Property.

 

LOGO    6   


  (c) Beneficiary shall be satisfied that all insurance loss proceeds so held, together with supplemental funds to be made available by Grantor, shall be sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property. Any remaining insurance loss proceeds may, at the option of Beneficiary, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether or not due, or be released to Grantor.

 

  (d) If required by Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall be furnished a satisfactory report addressed to Beneficiary from an environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to Beneficiary to the effect that no adverse environmental impact to the Property resulted from the casualty.

 

  (e) Beneficiary shall release casualty insurance proceeds as restoration of the Property progresses provided that Beneficiary is furnished satisfactory evidence of the costs of restoration and if, at the time of such release, there shall exist no Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) under the Loan Documents and no Non-Monetary Default with respect to which Beneficiary shall have given Grantor notice pursuant to the Notice of Default provision herein. If a Monetary Default shall occur or Beneficiary shall give Grantor notice of a Non-Monetary Default, Beneficiary shall have no further obligation to release insurance loss proceeds hereunder unless such default is cured within the cure period set forth in the Notice of Default provision contained herein. If the estimated cost of restoration exceeds $500,000.00, (i) the drawings and specifications for the restoration shall be approved by Beneficiary in writing prior to commencement of the restoration, and (ii) if the estimated cost of restoration is at least $500,000.00, but less than $1,000,000.00, Beneficiary shall receive an administrative fee of $5,000.00, and if the estimated cost of restoration exceeds $1,000,000.00, Beneficiary shall receive an administration fee equal to 1% of the cost of restoration.

 

  (f) Prior to each release of funds, Grantor shall obtain for the benefit of Beneficiary an endorsement to Beneficiary’s title insurance policy insuring Beneficiary’s lien as a first and valid lien on the Property subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved by Beneficiary.

  (i) Beneficiary shall be satisfied that Projected Debt Service Coverage of at least 1.20 will be produced from the leasing of not more than 83,592 square feet of space to former tenants or approved new tenants with leases satisfactory to Beneficiary for terms of at least 7 years to commence not later than thirty (30) days following completion of such restoration (“Approved Leases”).

 

  (j) All leases in effect at the time of the casualty with tenants who have entered into a non-disturbance and attornment agreement or similar agreement with Beneficiary shall remain in full force and Beneficiary shall be satisfied that restoration can be completed within a time frame such that each tenant thereunder shall be obligated, or each such tenant shall have elected, to continue the lease term at full rental (subject only to abatement, if any, during any period in which the Property or a portion thereof shall not be used and occupied by such tenant as a result of the casualty).

 

  (k) Without limiting the Earthquake provisions contained herein, if the casualty has resulted in whole or part from an earthquake: (a) Grantor shall have supplied Beneficiary with a “Seismic Risk Estimate” (in accordance with the Earthquake provisions herein) which show that the Property will meet “Minimum Seismic Criteria” (as defined in the Earthquake provisions herein) upon completion of repair and retrofit work which can be completed within one year of the earthquake, (b) prior to commencement of the restoration, Grantor shall have committed in writing to Beneficiary that Grantor will do such repair and retrofit work as shall be necessary to cause the Property to in fact meet Minimum Seismic Criteria following completion of restoration, and (c) Beneficiary must at all times during the restoration be reasonably satisfied that the Property will meet Minimum Seismic Criteria following completion of the restoration, Grantor hereby agreeing to supply Beneficiary with such evidence thereof as Beneficiary shall request from time to time.

“Projected Debt Service Coverage” means a number calculated by dividing Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service for the first fiscal year following restoration of the Property by the debt service during the same fiscal year under all indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “debt service” means the greater of (x) debt service due under all such indebtedness during the first fiscal year following completion of the restoration of the Property and (y) debt service that would be due and payable during such fiscal year if all such indebtedness were amortized over 25 years (whether or not amortization is actually required) and if interest on such indebtedness were due as it accrues at the face rate shown on the notes therefor (whether or not interest payments based on such face rates are required).

 

LOGO    8   


“Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service” means projected gross annual rent from the Approved Leases for the first full fiscal year following completion of the restoration of the Property less:

 

(A) The operating expenses of the Property for the last fiscal year preceding the casualty and

 

(B) the following:

 

  (i) a replacement reserve for future tenant improvements, leasing commissions and structural items based on not less than $1.62 per square foot per annum;

 

  (ii) the amount, if any, by which actual gross income during such fiscal period exceeds that which would be earned from the rental of 90% of the gross leasable area in the Property;

 

  (iii) the amount, if any, by which the actual management fee is less than 1% of gross revenue during such fiscal period;

 

  (iv) the amount, if any, by which the actual real estate taxes are less than $2.10 per square foot per annum; and

 

  (v) the amount, if any, by which total actual operating expenses, excluding management fees, real estate taxes and replacement reserves, are less than $ 1.50 per square foot per annum.

All projections referenced above shall be calculated in a manner satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Condemnation. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary (i) any award and any other proceeds resulting from damage to, or the taking of, all or any portion of the Property, and (ii) the proceeds from any sale or transfer in lieu thereof (collectively, “Condemnation Proceeds”) in connection with condemnation proceedings or the exercise of any power of eminent domain or the threat thereof (hereinafter, a “Taking”); if the Condemnation Proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and such damage or Taking occurs prior to the last year of the term of the Note, such Condemnation Proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to restoration of the Property to its condition, or the functional equivalent of its condition prior to the Taking, subject to the conditions set forth above in the section entitled “Insurance” and subject to the further condition that restoration or replacement of the improvements on the Land to their functional and economic utility prior to the Taking be possible. Any portion of such award and proceeds not applied to restoration shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or be released to Grantor, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents.

Taxes and Special Assessments. Grantor agrees to pay or to cause the tenants under the leases of the Property to pay before delinquency all taxes and special assessments of any kind that have been or may be levied or assessed against the Property, this instrument, the Note or the Indebtedness, or upon the interest of Trustee or Beneficiary in the Property, this instrument, the Note or the Indebtedness, and to procure and deliver to Beneficiary within 30 days after Beneficiary shall have given a written request to Grantor, the official receipt of the proper officer showing timely payment of all such taxes and assessments; provided, however, that Grantor shall not be required to pay any such taxes or special assessments if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and funds sufficient to satisfy the contested amount have been deposited in an escrow satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Personal Property. With respect to the Personal Property, Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Except for the security interest granted hereby, Grantor is, and as to portions of the Personal Property to be acquired after the date hereof will be, the sole owner of the Personal Property, free from any lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim thereon of any kind whatsoever. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary of, and shall indemnify and defend Beneficiary and the Personal Property against, all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the Personal Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.

(b) Except as otherwise provided above, Grantor shall not lease, sell, convey or in any manner transfer the Personal Property without the prior consent of Beneficiary.

Other Liens. Grantor agrees to keep the Property and any Personal Property free from all other liens either prior or subsequent to the lien created by this instrument. The (i) creation of any other lien on any portion of the Property or on any Personal Property, whether or not prior to the lien created hereby, (ii) assignment or pledge by Grantor of its revocable license to collect, use and enjoy rents and profits from the Property, or (iii) granting or permitting of a security interest in or other encumbrance on the ownership interests in Grantor, shall constitute a default under the terms of this instrument; except that upon written notice to Beneficiary, Grantor may, after the Loan Closing Date (as defined in the Commitment), proceed to contest in good faith and by appropriate proceedings any mechanics liens, tax liens or judgment liens with respect to the Property or any Personal Property described herein, provided funds sufficient to satisfy the contested amount have been deposited in an escrow account satisfactory to Beneficiary.

Indemnification, Duty to Defend and Costs, Fees and Expenses. In addition to any other indemnities contained in the Loan Documents, Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, costs of title evidence and endorsements to Beneficiary’s title insurance policy with respect to the Property and reasonable attorney fees and other costs of defense) which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Beneficiary, whether or not any legal proceeding is commenced with regard thereto, in connection with: (i) the enforcement of any of Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s rights or powers under the Loan Documents; (ii) the protection of Beneficiary’s interest in the Property; or (iii) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or on any sidewalk, curb, parking area, space or street located adjacent thereto. If any claim or demand is made or asserted against Beneficiary by reason of any event as to which Grantor is obligated to indemnify or defend Beneficiary, then, upon demand by Beneficiary, Grantor, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, shall defend such claim, action or proceeding in Beneficiary’s name, if necessary, by such attorneys as Beneficiary shall approve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary may, in Beneficiary’s sole discretion, engage its own attorneys to defend it or assist in its defense and Grantor shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys.

Failure of Grantor to Act. If Grantor fails to make any payment or do any act as herein provided, Beneficiary or Trustee may, without obligation to do so, without notice to or demand upon Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereof: (i) make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being, authorized to enter upon the Property for such purpose; (ii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iii) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of Beneficiary appears to be prior or superior hereto; and (iv) in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay its reasonable fees. Sums so expended and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses required to be reimbursed by Grantor to Beneficiary hereunder shall be payable by Grantor immediately upon demand

 

LOGO    11   


with interest from date of expenditure or demand, as the case may be, at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note). All sums so expended or demanded by Beneficiary and the interest thereon shall be included in the Indebtedness and secured by the lien of this instrument.

Event of Default. Any default by Grantor in making any required payment of the Indebtedness or any default in any provision, covenant, agreement, warranty or certification contained in any of the Loan Documents shall, except as provided in the two immediately succeeding paragraphs, constitute an “Event of Default”.

Notice of Default. A default in any payment required in the Note or any other Loan Document, whether or not payable to Beneficiary, (a “Monetary Default”) shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Beneficiary shall have given a written notice of such Monetary Default to Grantor and Grantor shall not have cured such Monetary Default by payment of all amounts in default (including payment of interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note, from the date of default to the date of cure on amounts owed to Beneficiary) within five (5) business days after the date on which Beneficiary shall have given such notice to Grantor.

Any other default under the Note or under any other Loan Document (a “Non-Monetary Default”) shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Beneficiary shall have given a written notice of such Non-Monetary Default to Grantor and Grantor shall not have cured such Non-Monetary Default within thirty (30) days after the date on which Beneficiary shall have given such notice of default to Grantor (or, if the Non-Monetary Default is not curable within such 30-day period, Grantor shall not have diligently undertaken and continued to pursue the curing of such Non-Monetary Default and deposited an amount sufficient to cure such Non-Monetary Default in an escrow account satisfactory to Beneficiary).

In no event shall the notice and cure period provisions recited above constitute a grace period for the purposes of commencing interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note).

Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary and its successors and assigns may for any reason and at any time appoint a new or substitute Trustee by written appointment delivered to such new or substitute Trustee without notice to Grantor, without notice to, or the resignation or withdrawal by, the existing Trustee and without recordation of such written appointment unless notice or recordation is required by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. Upon delivery of such appointment, the new or substitute Trustee shall be vested with the same title and with the same powers and duties granted to the original Trustee.

Appointment of Receiver. Upon commencement of any proceeding to enforce any right under this instrument, including foreclosure thereof, Beneficiary (without limitation or restriction by any present or future law, without regard to the solvency or insolvency at that

 

LOGO    12   


time of any party liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, without regard to the then value of the Property, whether or not there exists a threat of imminent harm, waste or loss to the Property and whether or not the same shall then be occupied by the owner of the equity of redemption as a homestead) shall have the absolute right to the appointment of a receiver of the Property and of the revenues, rents, profits and other income therefrom, and said receiver shall have (in addition to such other powers as the court making such appointment may confer) full power to collect all such income and, after paying all necessary expenses of such receivership and of operation, maintenance and repair of said Property, to apply the balance to the payment of any of the Indebtedness then due.

Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Indebtedness shall, at the option of Beneficiary, become immediately due and payable for all purposes without any notice or demand, except as required by law (ALL OTHER NOTICE OF THE EXERCISE OF SUCH OPTION, OR OF THE INTENT TO EXERCISE SUCH OPTION, BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED), and Beneficiary may, in addition to exercising any rights it may have with respect to the Personal Property under the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument as a mortgage, or to enforce any of the covenants hereof, or Trustee or Beneficiary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, either personally or by agent or attorney in fact, enter upon and take possession of the Property and may manage, rent or lease the Property or any portion thereof upon such terms as Beneficiary may deem expedient, and collect, receive and receipt for all rentals and other income therefrom and apply the sums so received as hereinafter provided in case of sale. Trustee is hereby further authorized and empowered, either after or without such entry, to sell and dispose of the Property en masse or in separate parcels (as Trustee may think best), and all the right, title and interest of Grantor therein, by advertisement or in any manner provided by applicable law, (GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A HEARING PRIOR TO SUCH SALE), and to issue, execute and deliver a deed of conveyance, all as then may be provided by applicable law; and Trustee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall, out of the proceeds or avails of such sale, after first paying and retaining all fees, charges, costs of advertising the Property and of making said sale, and attorneys’ fees as herein provided, pay to Beneficiary or the legal holder of the Indebtedness the amount thereof, including all sums advanced or expended by Beneficiary or the legal holder of the Indebtedness, with interest from date of advance or expenditure at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), rendering the excess, if any, as provided by law; such sale or sales and said deed or deeds so made shall be a perpetual bar, both in law and equity, against Grantor, the heirs, successors and assigns of Grantor, and all other persons claiming the Property aforesaid, or any part thereof, by, from, through or under Grantor. The legal holder of the Indebtedness may purchase the Property or any part thereof, and it shall not be obligatory upon any purchaser at any such sale to see to the application of the purchase money.

Prohibition on Transfer. The ownership and management of the Property is a material consideration to Beneficiary in making the loan secured by this instrument, and Grantor

shall not, except as otherwise permitted herein, (i) convey title to all or any part of the Property, (ii) enter into any contract to convey (land contract/installment sales contract/contract for deed) title to all or any part of the Property which gives a purchaser possession of, or income from, the Property prior to a transfer of title to all or any part of the Property (“Contract to Convey”) or (iii) cause or permit a Change in the Proportionate Ownership (as hereinafter defined) of Grantor.

Modification of Terms. Without affecting the liability of Grantor or any other person (except any person expressly released in writing) for payment of the Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation contained herein and without affecting the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Beneficiary may, at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity of the Note, without notice or consent: (i) release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation; (ii) make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof; (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Beneficiary may have; (iv) accept additional security of any kind; (v) release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the Indebtedness, including all or any part of the Property.

Neither this instrument nor any other Loan Document may be modified or terminated orally but only by agreement or discharge in writing and signed by Grantor and Beneficiary. If any of the provisions of any Loan Document or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such Loan Document and each of the other Loan Documents, and the application of such provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of each of the Loan Documents shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
