II. GENERAL TERMS.

Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.

2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.

2.1.2 The Loan. Lender agrees to fund additional advances of the Loan requested by Borrower from time to time (each, an “Additional Advance”), up to the Building Loan Amount, subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.17 through 2.20 below. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed.

2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) pay or reimburse itself for Building Loan Costs actually incurred in connection with the construction of the Improvements if and to the extent that such Building Loan Costs are reflected in the Project Budget, subject to reallocation pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 2.14 (or other reallocations approved by Lender in the exercise of its commercially reasonable discretion).

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date at the Interest Rate until repaid in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation.

(a) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (iii) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Payment Date falls. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan. The following additional provisions shall apply and, subject to Section 2.2.3 hereof, the Interest Rate shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.2.2. Subject to a replacement of Term

38-


 

SOFR pursuant to Section 2.2.2(b) or a replacement of the Interest Rate with the Federal Funds Interest Rate during any Benchmark Unavailability Period pursuant to Section 2.2.2(f) below, the Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be the SOFR Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a SOFR Loan. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Loan shall be converted from and after the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date to an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan accruing interest at the Alternate Benchmark Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert (x) a SOFR Loan to an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan or a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or (y) an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the then-current Benchmark to a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the applicable Benchmark Replacement for the then-current Benchmark.

(c) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower.

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Lender will promptly notify Borrower of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (iv) the necessity and amount of any spread adjustment and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.2, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from Borrower.

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

39-


 

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be the Federal Funds Interest Rate and the Loan shall be a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan.

(g) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall, provided that Lender complies with the requirements of Section 2.2.2(i) below, be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or imposed by the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable lending office where Lender is resident or engaged in business or any political subdivision or taking authority thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence. All amounts payable under this Section 2.2.2(f) shall constitute additional interest hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

Any reference under this Section 2.2.2(f) to “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant, and any assignees.

(h) If any Change in Law:

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, tax, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Interest Rate hereunder;

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

40-


 

(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as reasonably determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan which does not include interest through the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder and (C) any Benchmark Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan, a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder or, if no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, an amount equal to the interest or fees which would have been payable by Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a SOFR Loan, a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(j) If Lender is a U.S. Person (other than the lender originally named herein), Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, a Form W-9 (unless it establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that it is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax). If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, either (A) an applicable Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or (B) a Form W-8ECI. If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender further undertakes to deliver to Borrower additional Forms W-8, 1001, 4224 (or any successor forms) or other manner of

41-


 

certification, as the case may be, (x) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and (z) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying that Lender is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any Foreign Taxes. However, in the event that any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders such form inapplicable, or which would prevent Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form, or if such Change in Law results in Lender being unable to deliver a Form W-9 (or other satisfactory evidence that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax), Lender shall not be obligated to deliver such forms but shall, promptly following such Change in Law, but in any event prior to the time the next payment hereunder is due following such Change in Law, advise Borrower in writing whether it is capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of Foreign Taxes. In the event of such Change in Law, Borrower shall have the obligation to make Lender whole and to “gross-up” under Section 2.2.2(e) hereof, despite the failure by Lender to deliver such forms. Any reference under this Section 2.2.2(i) to “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant, co-lender and any assignees.

2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and shall (to the extent not already paid and/or due and payable hereunder) be due and payable on each Payment Date. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Lender’s actual damages resulting from any Event of Default and that the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of those damages and does not constitute a penalty.

2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.3 Loan Payment.

42-


 

2.3.1 Payments Before the Maturity Date. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the First Interest Period. On each Payment Date thereafter, up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount for the Interest Period within which such Payment Date occurs, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal. No Interest Period shall be shortened by reason of any payment of the Loan prior to the expiration of such Interest Period. Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Payment Date to a different calendar day of each month which is not earlier than the first (1st) of the calendar month and is not more than ten (10) days later than the originally scheduled Payment Date of each calendar month; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period correspondingly.

2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.3 Payments Generally. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense (other than the defense of prior payment) or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided, however that no such late payment charge shall be due with respect to the principal amount of the Loan due on the Maturity Date. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

43-


 

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan (either in whole or in part). Borrower may elect, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), which election shall be irrevocable, to prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part) on any Payment Date so long as the Exit Fee and the Minimum Interest Payment Amount, in each case to the extent applicable, is paid in accordance with this Section 2.4; provided, however, if for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay Lender (i) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan had the Loan actually been repaid on the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (such amount, the “Interest Shortfall”) and (ii) the Breakage Costs. As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, the notice of prepayment may not be given to Lender more than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date upon which prepayment is to be made and Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a notice and fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with such notice and the terms of this Section 2.4, Borrower shall pay Lender all reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs or similar expenses, as a result of such failure.

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with any applicable Interest Shortfall and such payment shall be accompanied by the applicable portion of the Exit Fee, and any Breakage Costs. Furthermore, Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof as and to the extent required thereunder. Other than, in each case, following an Event of Default, no prepayment premium or penalty (which shall not be deemed to include the Exit Fee, which shall be owed as provided for in this Agreement, if applicable) shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 or in connection with any payment pursuant to Section 6.4. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If concurrently with or during the existence of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered (which tender may be rejected by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure, or any other Person, or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds or any other cash collateral for the Loan pursuant to the Loan Documents), (i) such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 herein and (ii) Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Minimum Interest Payment Amount, the Exit Fee and the Breakage Costs, in addition to the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents (including the Interest Shortfall), all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment and if such prepayment occurs prior to the final sale of the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction, Hedge Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any prepayment of the Debt shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

44-


 

2.4.4 Minimum Interest. In all events and under all circumstances and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to Section 2.2.4, in connection with each and every Minimum Interest Principal Paydown, Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Lender the applicable Minimum Interest Payment Amount. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment or repayment of the Loan unless and until Borrower shall have complied with this Section 2.4.4 and Borrower has deposited with Lender all Interest Shortfall and Breakage Costs, as applicable in accordance with Section 2.4.1, (y) Lender shall have no obligation to release or, if requested by Borrower, assign the Note and Mortgage upon payment of the Debt unless and until Lender shall have received each and every Minimum Interest Payment Amount due under this Section 2.4.4, together with all Interest Shortfall and Breakage Costs, as applicable in accordance with Section 2.4.1, and (z) each and every prepayment of the Debt is subject to the terms of this Loan Agreement and nothing in this Section 2.4.4 gives Borrower any right to prepay any portion of the Debt. In the event that any Minimum Interest Payment Amount is due hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the Minimum Interest Payment Amount. Lender’s computation of the Minimum Interest Payment Amount shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Lender’s calculation may be made by Lender on any day during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Benchmark or otherwise as a condition to receiving the Minimum Interest Payment Amount. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Minimum Interest Payment Amount shall constitute (i) additional consideration for the Loan and (ii) a portion of the Debt, and shall, upon payment, be the sole and exclusive property of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, payment of the Minimum Interest Payment shall be waived in connection with (i) prior to Completion, prepayment in full of the Loan in connection with a bona fide “arms-length” sale of the Property to a third party, which shall be no sooner than fifteen (15) days prior to the receipt by the Borrower of all temporary certificates of occupancy for the Project and the Property required under applicable Legal Requirements and (ii) after the Project is Complete, prepayment in full of the Loan.

Section 2.5 Payment of Exit Fee.

2.5.1 Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Exit Fee to Lender as follows: (i) upon any (and each) partial prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof (other than as to payments of principal in connection with each Monthly Debt Service Payment, which in each event shall be deferred until payment in full of the Debt or the acceleration thereof in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents), in addition to all other amounts payable to Lender under Section 2.4 hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on account of the Exit Fee, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the amount so prepaid; (ii) upon any (and each) application of any condemnation awards or Net Proceeds to the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage, one percent (1%) of the amount thereof shall be retained by Lender on account of the Exit Fee and the balance thereof shall be applied to the Debt; and (iii) upon repayment in full of the Debt or the acceleration thereof in accordance with the terms of any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire Exit Fee which would be due on such date, less any amounts on account thereof previously paid to Lender under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.5.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the Exit Fee shall be waived (or, if elected by Borrower, credited against the closing costs in connection with the refinancing

45-


 

of the Loan) in the event Borrower refinances the Loan with a new permanent loan from Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (or its Affiliates) (which may be provided by Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (or its Affiliates) in their sole discretion).

2.5.2 In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment of the Loan unless and until Borrower shall have complied with this Section 2.5, and (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to release or assign any Loan Document upon payment of the Debt unless and until Lender shall have received the Exit Fee then due and payable.

2.5.3 Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Exit Fee shall constitute (i) additional consideration for the Loan and (ii) a portion of the Debt.

Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no repayment, prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage.

Section 2.7 Cash Management.

2.7.1 Lockbox Account.

(a) Simultaneously with the occurrence of Completion of the Project, Borrower shall enter into a Lockbox Agreement with a Lockbox Bank selected by Borrower and acceptable to Lender. Thereafter, Borrower shall maintain the Lockbox Account for the term of the Loan, which Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (subject to the terms hereof and of the Lockbox Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox Agreement, the Lockbox Bank shall, at the direction of Lender (which may not be given until the first commencement of a Trigger Period hereunder), establish the Lockbox Account, which Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (subject to the terms hereof and of the Lockbox Agreement); once established, Borrower shall maintain the Lockbox Account for the term of the Loan. The Lockbox Account shall have a title evidencing the foregoing in a manner acceptable to Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority security interest in the Lockbox Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Lockbox Account. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Lockbox Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Lockbox Account (or any successor thereto) shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Lockbox Account shall be deemed additional security for the Debt. Borrower shall not alter or modify either the Lockbox Account or the Lockbox Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender. The Lockbox Agreement shall provide (and Borrower shall provide) Lender online access to bank and other financial statements relating to the

46-


 

Lockbox Account (including, without limitation, a listing of the receipts being collected therein). In connection with any change of the Servicer for the Loan, Lender shall have the right to cause the Lockbox Account to be entitled with such other designation as Lender may select to reflect an assignment or transfer of Lender’s rights and/or interests with respect to the Lockbox Account or the appointment of a new Servicer, as applicable. Lender shall provide Borrower with prompt written notice of any such renaming of the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Lockbox Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. The Lockbox Account (i) shall be an Eligible Account and (ii) shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Lockbox Bank.

(b) Upon (i) Lockbox Bank ceasing to be an institution acceptable to Lender, (ii) any resignation by Lockbox Bank or termination of the Lockbox Agreement by Lockbox Bank or Lender and/or (iii) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s request, (1) appoint a new Lockbox Bank (which such Lockbox Bank shall (I) be an institution acceptable to Lender, (II) other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Borrower and approved by Lender, and (III) during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Lender), (2) cause such Lockbox Bank to open a new Lockbox Account and enter into a new Lockbox Agreement with Lender on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous Lockbox Agreement and (3) send new Tenant Direction Notices and the other notices required pursuant to the terms hereof relating to such new Lockbox Agreement and Lockbox Account. Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake any action required of Borrower under this Section 2.7 in the name of Borrower in the event Borrower fails to do the same. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but may only be exercisable by the Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the completion of items (1) - (3) above, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate to terminate the previous Lockbox Account and Lockbox Agreement.

(c) On or prior to the date of Completion, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a partially-completed Tenant Direction Notice to each commercial Tenant set forth on the Rent Roll, together with authorization for Lender or its agent to complete and deliver such Tenant Direction Notices upon the occurrence of the first Trigger Period. Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that, from and after the first occurrence of a Trigger Period and thereafter for so long as the Debt remains outstanding, Borrower shall (i) deliver and cooperate with Lender to cause delivery to each commercial Tenant a Tenant Direction Notice, and (ii) within three (3) Business Days of receipt, deposit or cause to be deposited into the Lockbox Account (1) all revenue derived from the Property (including without limitation all Operating Income) and received by Borrower or Manager, as the case may be, and (2) all funds otherwise payable to Borrower by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (or otherwise in connection with the Property), (iii) not maintain any other accounts by Borrower or any other Person into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are directly deposited and (iv) provide additional or newly executed Tenant Direction Notices as directed by Lender and further cooperate

47-


 

to direct each commercial Tenant to pay rent directly to the Lockbox Account. Until deposited into the Lockbox Account, any Rents and other revenues from the Property held by or on behalf of Borrower shall be deemed to be held in trust by Borrower for the benefit of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower. If following receipt of a Tenant Direction Notice, the recipient fails to remit payments as directed thereby for sixty (60) days, Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such recipient to comply with the terms thereof. If the recipient fails to remit payments as directed thereby for ninety (90) days after receipt of such Tenant Direction Notice, then in addition to continuing such efforts, Borrower shall give notice thereof to Lender. Borrower warrants and covenants that it shall not rescind, withdraw or change any notices or instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to this Section (including, without limitation, any Tenant Direction Notice) in each case without Lender’s prior written consent.

(d) Upon request of Borrower, following payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall (i) give written notice to the Lockbox Bank releasing all of Lender’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Lockbox Account, and (ii) provide to Borrower a letter authorizing all Tenants to pay all future rents as may thereafter be directed by Borrower.

2.7.2 Cash Management Account.

(a) Simultaneously with the occurrence of Completion of the Project, Borrower shall enter into a Cash Management Agreement with a Cash Management Bank. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among other things, that upon the commencement of the first Trigger Period (if any) hereunder, a cash collateral account shall be established at the Cash Management Bank (such account, the “Cash Management Account”) in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest. Borrower hereby agrees that the Cash Management Agreement shall constitute an account control agreement with Cash Management Bank for the purposes of the UCC, and authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Cash Management Account if reasonably necessary. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account, and neither Borrower or any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right or authority, whether express or implied, to make use of, or withdraw any funds, investments or other properties from, the Cash Management Account, or to give any instructions with respect to the Cash Management Account. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower from time to time in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. The Cash Management Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of the Borrower. Borrower shall provide Lender or Cash Management Bank, at any time upon request of Lender, with a Form W-8 or W-9 to evidence that Borrower is not subject to any back-up withholding under the IRS Code. If Borrower has not completed the process of opening the Cash Management Account with the Cash Management Bank prior to the first Payment Date during a Trigger Period, then

48-


 

(without limiting Lender’s rights to exercise its remedies under this Agreement by reason of any breach by Borrower) until establishment of the Cash Management Account (i) references to the Cash Management Account shall mean a Reserve Account established and held by Lender, and (ii) references to the Cash Management Bank shall mean Lender and/or its Servicer and/or the bank at which such Reserve Account is established.

(b) Lender shall not require the Lockbox Bank to transfer funds from the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account other than during a Trigger Period; during a Trigger Period, Lender may require transfers from the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account on a daily basis. At any time that a Trigger Period is not continuing, the funds from the Lockbox Account shall be deposited into the Borrower’s Operating Account. While a Trigger Period is continuing, Lockbox Bank shall be directed to transfer funds available in the Lockbox Account (in accordance with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement) to the Cash Management Account at the frequency (not less than weekly) specified in the Lockbox Agreement. Furthermore, in its sole discretion, Borrower may, from time to time deposit amounts into the Cash Management Account from sources of Borrower other than those received by the Lockbox Bank; provided, that if Borrower deposits such amounts, the amounts deposited shall be subject to all of the terms hereof as if not separately deposited by Borrower, and may not be withdrawn or applied other than as provided for in this Section 2.7.2(b). Lender shall give disposition instructions from time to time directing Cash Management Bank that funds, if any, on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall on each Payment Date be disbursed by the Cash Management Bank or Servicer in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i) First, to the payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account in an amount sufficient to pay the monthly deposit required to be made for Taxes and Insurance Premiums in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.3;

(ii) Next, to Lender in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, for application in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.1 hereof;

(iii) Next, to the Replacement Reserve Account in the amount of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, for application in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.4 hereof;

(iv) Next, funds sufficient to pay any other amounts due and owing to Lender and/or Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and/or of the other Loan Documents, if any, shall be deposited with or as directed by Lender;

(v) Next, an amount equal to the Operating Expense Monthly Disbursement shall be disbursed to Borrower’s Operating Account; and

(vi) Last, any amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after application in accordance with the foregoing (such remaining amounts, “Excess Cash Flow”) shall be deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Account and applied in accordance with Section 7.7(b) hereof.

49-


 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that Lender may direct Cash Management Bank that all funds held in the Cash Management Account during the continuance of any Event of Default are to be administered and applied by Lender or Servicer as permitted by Section 7.1(c) and Section 8.2 of this Agreement, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law (other than, with respect to amounts collected for the payment of Lease Taxes, which shall be disbursed by Lender or Servicer directly to the Governmental Authority to whom they are owed).

(c) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(d) If at any time Lender or Servicer notifies Borrower (the date such notice is given, the “Trigger Period Notice Date”) that, notwithstanding that no notice thereof had previously been delivered, a Trigger Period commenced on a date prior to the Trigger Period Notice Date (such date, the “Trigger Period Commencement Date”), Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days of the Trigger Period Notice Date, deposit cash into the Lockbox Account in an amount equal to the difference between (1) all Operating Income during the Deposit Period less (2) the sum of (A) all Monthly Debt Service Payment Amounts actually made during the Deposit Period, (B) all deposits actually made into the Reserve Accounts during the Deposit Period and (C) all Operating Expenses actually expended by Borrower during the Deposit Period, such amount (the “Trigger Period True Up Deposit”) to be reasonably calculated by Lender in its discretion, which shall be shall be final and binding absent manifest error. As used herein, “Deposit Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the Trigger Period Commencement Date and ending on the Trigger Period Notice Date.

2.7.3 Payments Received In the Cash Management Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts due for the Reserve Funds and any other reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by the Cash Management Bank, so long as Lender’s access to such funds is not obstructed or interfered with in any way by the activities of any Restricted Party or their Affiliates, or the Cash Management Bank, or by any action or proceeding affecting any of them or the Property.

Section 2.8 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

2.8.1 Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement that (i) shall be in a form and substance acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall at all times be with a Counterparty, (iii) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, (iv) shall, for each applicable period set forth on Schedule 2.8 attached hereto, have a notional amount equal to or greater than the notional amount corresponding to such period and set forth on

50-


 

Schedule 2.8 attached hereto, and (v) shall at all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account (or, if the Cash Management Account is not then activated, into such other Account as Lender may designate) any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account (or, if the Cash Management Account is not then activated, into such other Account as Lender may designate)).

2.8.2 Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account (or, if the Cash Management Account is not then activated, into such other Account as Lender may designate). Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

2.8.3 In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating or in the event of a Benchmark Conversion, Borrower shall either (x) replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such Benchmark Conversion or downgrade, withdrawal or qualification with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or (y) if provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing, the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(a) If the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement is required as a result of a Benchmark Conversion, such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement must:

(i) provide to Lender and Borrower a hedge against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than the Interest Rate Cap Agreement required pursuant to Section 2.8.1 above. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.” In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to (i) deliver collateral as specified in the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (ii) find a replacement Counterparty, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Lender’s approval with respect

51-


 

thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Borrower receives Lender’s prior written approval and shall approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Lender’s prior written approval. Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.8.3 shall constitute, at Lender’s option, an immediate Event of Default.

(ii) refer to the Benchmark Replacement instead of Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark that has been replaced by the Benchmark Replacement) and (B) have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate increased by the difference between the Benchmark Replacement and Term SOFR if the Benchmark Replacement is higher than Term SOFR or decreased by the difference between the Benchmark Replacement and Term SOFR if the Benchmark Replacement is lower than Term SOFR, in each case, on the date that the Interest Rate is first calculated at the Benchmark Replacement.

(b) Such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents regarding Interest Rate Cap Agreements and, concurrently with the replacement of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on Term SOFR or any other then-applicable Benchmark, Borrower shall be entitled to terminate, sell, or liquidate such Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on Term SOFR or such other Benchmark. Borrower shall be entitled to effectuate the foregoing by amending the Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on Term SOFR or any other then-applicable Benchmark to comply with the foregoing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the relevant Benchmark Replacement is not publicly recognized by ISDA as an alternative to Term SOFR and/or ISDA has not approved an amendment to hedge agreements generally providing such Benchmark Replacement as a standard alternative to Term SOFR, Borrower shall purchase such other hedging product as reasonably determined by Lender or, in the event such product is not commercially available, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate to find a mutually agreeable alternative to an Interest Rate Cap Agreement that would afford Lender substantially equivalent protection from increases in the Interest Rate.

2.8.4 In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement as required herein or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

2.8.5 Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(a) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

52-


 

(b) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

(c) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

(d) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2.8.6 Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender in connection with each Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Section 2.9 Extension of the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the initial Scheduled Maturity Date for three (3) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of twelve (12) months each (each, an “Extension Period”) to (i) February 9, 2026, if the first Extension Option is exercised, (ii) February 9, 2027, if the second Extension Option is exercised, and (iii) February 9, 2028, if the third Extension Option is exercised upon satisfaction (in each case as reasonably determined by Lender) of the following terms and conditions, each of which shall be satisfied prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period unless otherwise specified:

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time an Extension Option is exercised and on the date that the applicable Extension Period is commenced;

(b) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to exercise an Extension Option not earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable then current Maturity Date; provided, however, that Borrower shall be permitted to revoke such notice at any time up to five (5) Business Days before the applicable then current Maturity Date provided that Borrower pays to Lender all actual out of pocket costs incurred by Lender in connection with such notice, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs;

53-


 

(c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender the Extension Fee no later than the date the related Extension Period is commenced;

If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option, either individually or in combination (i) within ten (10) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender may from time to time apply, or allow Borrower to apply, to such costs; (ii) pay for such costs, as incurred, in the amount of such Shortfall so that the amount of the Building Loan which remains to be disbursed shall be sufficient to pay all of the remaining Total Project‑Related Costs, and Borrower shall furnish Lender with such evidence thereof as Lender shall require; (iii) with respect to any Shortfall arising pursuant to clause (b) above, to the extent permitted under Section 2.11(a), allocate the Building Loan Contingency (Hard Costs) or Building Loan Contingency (Soft Costs), to the extent applicable, to the Shortfall and (iv) with respect to any Shortfall arising pursuant to clause (b) above, to the extent permitted under Section 2.11(b), reallocate cost savings from the Project Budget in respect of the Building Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its reasonable discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Total Project‑Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should

to this Section 2.20(b) for interest on the Building Loan shall be reduced by any payments received under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement purchased with respect to the Building Loan, and (C) Lender shall have no obligation to make any such disbursement for interest, fees, expenses, Taxes or Insurance Premiums unless all conditions to an Additional Advance of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.18 have been satisfied. The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) are not intended to limit or derogate from Borrower’s and Guarantor’s absolute and unconditional obligation to pay such interest, fees, expenses, Taxes and Insurance Premiums regardless of whether Loan proceeds are available or advanced therefor to the extent (if any) provided in the applicable Guaranty.

(c) Direct Advances to Third Parties. At Lender’s option, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.22(c), Lender may make any or all Additional Advances directly or through the Title Company to (i) General Contractor or any Major Trade Contractor for construction expenses which shall theretofore have been approved by Lender and for which Borrower shall have failed to make payment, (ii) Borrower’s Architect to pay its fees to the extent funds are allocated thereto in the Project Budget, (iii) the Construction Consultant to pay its fees and disbursements, (iv) Lender’s counsel to pay its fees and disbursements, (v) to itself to pay (A) any installment of interest due under the Building Loan Note, (B) any expenses incurred by Lender which are reimbursable by Borrower under the Building Loan Documents (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other fees and expenses incurred by such Lender), provided that Borrower shall theretofore have received notice from Lender that such expenses have been incurred and Borrower shall have failed to reimburse Lender for said expenses beyond any grace periods provided for said reimbursement under the Building Loan Note, this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents, or (C) following an Event of Default, any other sums due to any Lender under the Building Loan Note, this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents, all to the extent that the same are not paid by the respective due dates thereof, (vi) to pay Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, and (vii) any other Person to whom Lender in good faith determines payment is due and any portion of the Building Loan so disbursed by Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Building Loan directly or through the Title Company to such Persons in accordance with this Section 2.20(c) as amounts become due and payable to them hereunder and any portion of the Building Loan so disbursed by Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same. No further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct Additional Advances to such relevant Person, and all such Additional Advances shall satisfy the obligation of Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and the other Building Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower.

70-


 

allocated in the Project Budget remain available to be advanced under this Agreement for such purposes and subject to all the conditions to Additional Advances therefor).

(e) Interest Advance. A portion of the Loan specified in the Project Budget (the “Interest Advance”) has been reserved for payments of interest as it accrues and becomes due and payable on the Loan. The Interest Advance shall not be disbursed for any purpose other than the payment of interest on the Loan unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

(f) Loan In Balance. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender shall not be required to make any Additional Advance if any Shortfall exists.

(g) The making of an Additional Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Additional Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.

(h) Developer Fees. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, fifty percent (50%) of the fees due to any developer of the Project in connection with each draw shall be deferred until Completion of the Project and, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Additional Advance be made available to fund (nor shall Borrower make any disbursement to pay), more than fifty percent (50%) of the fees due to any developer of the Project in connection with any draw until Completion has occurred.

(i) Additional Advances for Operating Expenses. During any calendar quarter during which Lender has made an Additional Advance to pay for, or reimburse Borrower for, Operating Expenses, Borrower will deliver a schedule (together with supporting detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender) reconciling (A) the aggregate amount of Additional Advances made to Borrower for Operating Expenses pursuant to the Project Budget during such calendar quarter and (B) the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such calendar quarter, and to the extent Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Operating Expenses actually incurred in such quarter were less than the amount of Additional Advances made to Borrower for Operating Expenses pursuant to the Project Budget during such calendar quarter, then Lender may in its discretion either (x) decrease the amount to be disbursed for payment of Operating Expenses pursuant to the Project Budget for the following month (or, if necessary, months) in an amount necessary to reflect such difference or (y) require that Borrower, within ten (10) days following written request, deposit with Lender an amount equal to such difference. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender shall not make any Additional Advances for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 2.20(i) in duplication of any Additional Advance made pursuant to Section 2.20(b).

3.1.17 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the Loan or executed this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor, and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower from ownership and operation of the Property, and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition under the Bankruptcy Code, or similar action under any Creditors’ Rights Law, has been filed against Borrower or any Restricted Party. Neither Borrower nor any Restricted Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under the Bankruptcy Code or similar action under any Creditors’ Rights Law, or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition or similar action against it or any Restricted Party. With respect to any loan or financing in which any Restricted Party or any Affiliate thereof has been directly or indirectly obligated for or has, in connection therewith, otherwise provided any guaranty, indemnity or similar surety (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, any loan which is being refinanced by the Loan), none of such loans or financings has ever been (i) more than thirty (30) days in default or (ii) transferred to special servicing. With respect to Lender’s rights in the Leases and Rents, Borrower acknowledges that this Agreement, the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, individually and collectively, are intended to give Lender the benefit of Section 214 of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994 and the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code referenced therein, as the same may hereafter be amended from time to time.

3.1.18 No Plan Assets. Each of the following representations is true, correct and complete with respect to Borrower, any SPE Party and Guarantor: it does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code, and none of the assets of such Person constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) such Person is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with such Person are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including, but not limited to, the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

3.1.19 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Land and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted

Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or with the current ability of the Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the Loan or Borrower’s ability to pay and perform the obligations under the Loan Documents when they become due. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with the Assignment of Leases and any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
