LOAN AGREEMENT

(Fixed Rate Loan)

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT is made as of this 3rd day of March, 2006 by KOLA INVESTMENTS, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability company (Borrower), as borrower, and GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a California corporation (together with its successors and assigns Lender), as lender.

Background

Borrower desires to obtain a commercial mortgage loan from Lender in the original principal amount of $52,000,000.00 in lawful money of the United States of America. Lender is willing to make such loan to Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of such loan and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINED TERMS AND CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES

1.01. Defined Terms. Each defined term used in this Loan Agreement has the meaning given to that term in Article 19 of this Loan Agreement.

1.02. General Construction. Defined terms used in this Loan Agreement may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form, and pronouns are to be construed to cover all genders. All references to this Loan Agreement or any agreement or instrument referred to in this Loan Agreement shall mean such agreement or instrument as originally executed and as hereafter amended, supplemented, extended, consolidated or restated from time to time. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Loan Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision; and the words “Article” and “section” refer to the entire article or section, as applicable and not to any particular subsection or other subdivision. Reference to days for performance means calendar days unless business days are expressly indicated.

1.03. Property. The parties hereto acknowledge that the defined term “Property” has been defined to collectively include each Individual Property. All references to “Property” in this Loan Agreement shall be deemed to refer to one or more Individual Properties, as the context requires. It is the intent of the parties hereto in making any determinations under this Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, in determining whether (a) breach of a representation, warranty or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred a default or Event of Default, or (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Article 12 of this Loan Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Property shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to the Loan.


ARTICLE 2

MAXIMUM LOAN AMOUNT: PAYMENT TERMS: ADVANCES: DEFEASANCE

2.01. Commitment to Lend.

(a) Maximum Loan Amount Approved. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in reliance on Borrower’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, Lender agrees to loan the Maximum Loan Amount to Borrower. The Loan shall be evidenced by this Loan Agreement and by the Note made by Borrower to the order of Lender and shall bear interest and be paid upon the terms and conditions provided herein and partial monthly payments computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Advance of Maximum Loan Amount. On the Closing Date, Lender shall advance the entire Maximum Loan Amount to Borrower.

2.02. Calculation of Interest.

(a) Calculation Basis. Interest due on the Loan shall be paid in arrears, calculated based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated.

(b) Applicable Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on outstanding principal at the rate of five and sixty-two hundredths percent (5.62%) per annum (Applicable Interest Rate).

(c) Adjustment for Impositions on Loan Payment. All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for, or on account of, any income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any government or taxing authority (other than taxes on the overall net income or overall gross receipts of Lender imposed as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing same provided, that this exclusion shall not apply to a connection arising solely from Lender’s having executed, delivered, performed its obligations under, received a payment under, or enforced this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such amounts are required to be withheld from amounts payable to Lender, the amounts payable to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender, after payment of such amounts, interest or any such other amounts payable at the rates or in the amounts specified herein. If any such amounts are payable by Borrower, Borrower shall pay all such amounts by their due date and promptly send Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay such amounts when due or to deliver the required receipt to Lender, Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender as a result of any such failure.

 

2


(d) Increased Costs of Maintaining Interest. If Lender determines that the adoption of any law, regulation, rule or guideline (including, without limitation, any change regarding the imposition or increase in reserve requirements), whether or not having the force of law, does or will have the effect of reducing Lender’s rate of return on the Loan, then, from time to time, within five (5) business days after written demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender for its reduction. In addition, if any law, regulation, rule or guideline hereafter is enacted or modified, whether or not having the force of law, and compliance therewith results in an increase in the cost to Lender (including, without limitation, a reduction in the income received by Lender) in making, funding or maintaining interest on the Loan at the rate herein provided, then, within five (5) business days after written demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender the additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such increased costs. Lender shall only require Borrower to pay any amount under this Section 2.02(d) if: (i) Lender is requiring similar payment from a majority of the borrowers under similar types of loans made by, held by or serviced by Lender for property located in the same geographic region as the Property and (ii) such reduction has an effect upon the rate of return to Lender on the Loan and is not an immaterial increased administrative cost imposed on businesses or lenders in general.

(e) Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Borrower is prohibited by law from paying any amount due to Lender under Section 2.02(c) or (d), Lender may elect to declare the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts due hereunder, due and payable within ninety (90) days of Lender’s written notice to Borrower. No Defeasance Costs, Yield Maintenance Premium or Prohibited Prepayment Fee shall be due in such event. Lender’s delay or failure in accelerating the Loan upon the discovery or occurrence of an event under Section 2.02(c) or (d) shall not be deemed a waiver or estoppel against the exercise of such right.

2.03. Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) Payment at Closing. If the Loan is funded on a date other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay to Lender at the time of funding of the Loan an interest payment calculated by multiplying (i) the number of days from and including the date of funding to (but excluding) the first (1st) day of the next calendar month by (ii) a daily rate based on the Applicable Interest Rate and calculated for a 360-day year.

(b) Payment Dates. Commencing on the first (1st) day of May, 2006 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each and every successive month thereafter (each, a Payment Due Date), through and including the Payment Due Date immediately prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $299,177.20 and any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Loan Agreement.

(c) Maturity Date. On the first (1st) day of April, 2016 (Maturity Date). Borrower shall pay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.

 

3


2.04. Payments Generally.

(a) Delivery of Payments. All payments due to Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are to be paid in immediately available funds to Lender at Lender’s office located at 200 Witmer Road, P.O. Box 809, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attn: Servicing - Accounting Manager, or at such other place as Lender may designate to Borrower in writing from time to time. All amounts due under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever.

(b) Credit for Payment Receipt. No payment due under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed paid to Lender until received by Lender at its designated office on a business day prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Any payment received after the time established by the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been paid on the immediately following business day. Each payment that is paid to Lender in the calendar month in which it is due or in the prior calendar month, but prior to its scheduled Payment Due Date, shall not be deemed a prepayment and shall be deemed to have been received on the Payment Due Date solely for the purpose of calculating interest due. Where a Payment Due Date falls on a date other than a business day, the Payment Due Date shall be deemed the first business day immediately thereafter.

(c) Invalidated Payments. If any payment received by Lender is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor relief law, and is required to be returned by Lender, then the obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated, notwithstanding that the Note may have been marked satisfied and returned to Borrower or otherwise canceled, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

(d) Late Charges. If any payment due on a Payment Due Date is not received by Lender in full on or before the fifth (5th) day from and including the Payment Due Date on which such payment is due (e.g., if the Payment Due Date is the 1st day of month, a late charge would accrue if the full payment is not received on or before the 5th day of the month), Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand, a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent amount.

(e) Default Interest Rate. If the Loan is not paid in full on or before the Maturity Date or if the Loan is accelerated following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the interest rate then payable on the Loan shall immediately increase to the Applicable Interest Rate plus four hundred (400) basis points (Default Rate) and continue to accrue at the Default Rate until full payment is received. In addition, Lender shall have the right, without acceleration of the Loan, to collect interest at the Default Rate on any payment due hereunder (including, without limitation, late charges and fees for legal counsel) which is not received by Lender on or before five (5) days after the date on which such payment originally was due. Interest at the Default Rate also shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with collection of the Loan or enforcement of any obligations due under the other Loan Documents until such judgment amount is paid in full.

 

4


(f) Application of Payments. Payments of principal and interest due from Borrower shall be applied first to the payment of late fees, then to Lender advances made to protect the Property or to perform obligations which Borrower failed to perform, then to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, and then to reduction of the outstanding principal. If at any time Lender receives less than the full amount due and payable on a Payment Due Date, Lender may apply the amounts received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in its sole discretion. Following an Event of Default, Lender may apply all payments to amounts then due in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in its sole discretion. Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than the full amount then due and Lender’s application of such payments to amounts then due from Borrower shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. No principal amount repaid may be reborrowed.

2.05. Prepayment Rights.

(a) Open Date. Borrower acknowledges that Lender is making the Loan to it at the interest rate and upon the other terms herein set forth in reliance upon Borrower’s promise to pay the Loan over the full stated term of this Loan Agreement and that Lender may suffer loss or other detriment if Borrower were to prepay all or any portion of the Note prior to its stated Maturity Date. Except as provided in this Section 2.05 and in Section 10.03, Borrower agrees that Borrower has no right to prepay all or any part of the Loan prior to the Maturity Date. At any time on and after the 119th Payment Due Date (the Open Date), Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, provided Borrower pays with such prepayment (a) all accrued interest and all other outstanding amounts then due and unpaid under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) if the prepayment is not made on a Payment Due Date, Borrower pays with such prepayment the full interest amount that would have accrued for the period from the date of prepayment through the day prior to the next Payment Due Date. Lender is not obligated to accept any prepayment unless accompanied by amounts required hereunder.

(b) Voluntary Defeasance of the Loan.

(i) Defeasance to Release Property from Security Instrument. Subject to Borrower’s compliance with all terms and conditions of this Section 2.05(b), Borrower may defease the Loan in whole, or in part as set forth in Section 10.03, in the manner hereinafter set forth (Defeasance) on any Business Day after the Lock-out Period Expiration Date (defined below) and obtain a release (Release) of the Property or any one Property provided Borrower complies with Section 10.03 from the lien of the Security Instrument. Once partial Defeasance has been completed, the Loan will be partially secured by the Defeasance Collateral (defined below), and thereafter the portion of the Loan defeased cannot be prepaid in whole or in part, notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.05 to the contrary. Lock-out Period Expiration Date means the earlier to occur of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) the second (2nd) anniversary of the “startup date” of the REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Tax Code.

 

5


(ii) Conditions to Defeasance. Borrower may cause a Release or a Partial Release upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (all as reasonably approved by Lender):

(A) no Event or Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

(B) not less than thirty (30) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date (such date being on a Payment Due Date) on which the Defeasance Collateral (as hereinafter defined) is to be delivered (the Release Date);

(C) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under the Note, this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents up to the Release Date including, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender and its agents in connection with such release (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses for the review and preparation of the Defeasance Pledge Agreement (as defined below) and of the other materials described in Section 2.05(b)(ii)(D) below and any related documentation, and any servicing fees, Rating Agency fees or other costs related to such release), shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release Date;

(D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or prior to the Release Date:

a. The Defeasance Collateral which meets all requirements of subsection 2.05(b)(iii) below and is owned by Borrower, free and clear of all liens and claims of third-parties.

b. A written certification of an independent certified public accounting firm (reasonably acceptable to Lender), confirming that the Defeasance Collateral will (y) in the event of Defeasance of the entire Loan generate amounts sufficient to make all Scheduled Debt Payments as they fall due under the Note, including full payment due on the Note on the Maturity Date or (z) in the event of partial Defeasance generate amounts sufficient to make scheduled Debt Payments as they fall due under the Defeasance Note including full payment on such Defeasance Note on the Maturity Date.

c. Lender’s form of a pledge and security agreement (Defeasance Pledge Agreement) and financing statements which pledge and create a first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral in favor of Lender.

d. Confirmation in writing from Lender’s custodian that it has received all of the Defeasance Collateral for the account and benefit of Lender.

e. A written certification from Borrower which confirms that, following Defeasance, Borrower continues to satisfy the “single purpose entity” requirements of this Loan Agreement.

f. Such legal opinions given by Borrower’s or Lender’s counsel (which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to Lender) as Lender may require to confirm (i) that the Defeasance Collateral and the proceeds thereof have been validly pledged to Lender, that the Defeasance Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents after the Defeasance are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with the respective terms and Lender

 

6


has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) in the event of a bankruptcy proceeding or similar occurrence with respect to Borrower, none of the Defeasance Collateral nor any proceeds thereof will be property of Borrower’s estate under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute and the grant of security interest therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law, (iii) the release of the lien of the Security Instrument and the pledge of Defeasance Collateral will not directly or indirectly result in or cause any REMIC that then holds the Note to fail to maintain its status as a REMIC and (iv) the defeasance will not cause any REMIC to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

g. Forms of all documents necessary to release the Property or, in the case of partial Defeasance, the Release Property from the liens created by the Security Instrument and related UCC financing statements (collectively, Release Instruments), each in appropriate form required by the state in which the Property or, in the case of partial Defeasance, the Release Property is located.

h. Such other certificates, confirmations, documents or instruments as Lender reasonably deems necessary in connection with the Defeasance, including, without limitation, a Rating Confirmation.

(E) Borrower shall satisfy the requirements of Section 10.03 hereof.

(iii) Purchase and Ownership of the Defeasance Collateral. The Defeasance Collateral must consist only of non-callable and non-redeemable securities issued, or fully insured as to payment, by the United States of America or such other securities as are permitted at the time of Defeasance by the Tax Code with respect to REMIC collateral substitutions. The Defeasance Collateral also must provide for (A) redemption payments to occur prior, but as close as possible, to all successive Payment Due Dates occurring after the Release Date and (B) deliver redemption proceeds at least equal to (1) in the event of Defeasance of the entire Loan the amount of principal and interest due on the Note on each such Payment Due Date including full payment due on the Note on the Maturity Date or (2) in the event of partial Defeasance the amount of principal and interest due on the Defeasance Note on each such Payment Due Date, including full payment due on the Defeasance Note on the Maturity Date (Scheduled Debt Payment). The Defeasance Collateral shall be arranged such that redemption payments received from the Defeasance Collateral are paid directly to Lender to be applied on account of the Scheduled Debt Payments. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, the pledge of the Defeasance Collateral shall be effectuated through the book-entry facilities of a qualified securities intermediary designated by Lender (which may be Lender itself or an Affiliate of Lender if such party qualifies as a securities intermediary) in conformity with all applicable laws.

(iv) Successor Borrower Option. Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, has the right, or, in the case of partial Defeasance, an obligation to designate an accommodation borrower (Successor Borrower) which satisfies Lender’s then current requirements for a “single purpose entity” to assume at the time of Defeasance ownership of the Defeasance Collateral and liability for all or, in the case of partial Defeasance, a portion of, related to the

 

7


Partial Release Price of Borrower’s obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Defeasance Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents (to the extent that liability thereunder survives repayment of the Loan and release of the Property or, in the case of partial Defeasance, the Release Property). Such transfer and assumption shall be evidenced by a duly executed, written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Lender, whereupon Borrower and Guarantors (subject to satisfaction of all requirements of this Section 2.05(b)(ii)) shall be relieved, or, in the case of partial Defeasance, partially relieved from liability in connection with the Loan (except for those obligations which, by the express terms of the Loan Documents, survive payment of the Loan which shall be assumed by Successor Borrower). Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Loan Agreement, no assumption fee is required upon a transfer of the Loan in accordance with this Section. If a Successor Borrower assumes Borrower’s obligations, Lender may require as a condition to Defeasance, such additional legal opinions from Borrower’s, Lender’s or Successor Borrower’s counsel as Lender reasonably deems necessary to confirm the valid creation and authority of the Successor Borrower (including a nonconsolidation opinion), the assignment and assumption of the Loan and Defeasance Collateral between Borrower and Successor Borrower, and the enforceability of the assignment documents and of the Loan Documents as the obligation of Successor Borrower.

(v) Substitute Notes on Partial Defeasance. With respect to any partial Defeasance, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender all documents necessary to amend and restate the Note with two substitute notes: one note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the Loan (the Defeased Note) and one note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the Note (the Undefeased Note). The Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05(b) (the term Note, as used in this Section 2.05(b), being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further Defeasance).

(vi) Defeasance Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Defeasance, which payment is required prior to Lender’s issuance of the Release and whether or not Defeasance is completed. Such expenses include, without limitation, the cost incurred by Lender to obtain Rating Confirmation contemplated by Section 2.05(b)(ii)(D)(8), the reasonable fees and disbursements of Lender’s legal counsel and a processing fee to cover Lender’s administrative costs to process Borrower’s Defeasance request. Lender reserves the right to require that Borrower post a deposit to cover costs which Lender reasonably anticipates will be incurred.

(c) Prohibited Prepayment Prior to Open Date. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.05(d), if payment of all or any part of the principal balance of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure, a Guarantor, or any other Person prior to the Open Date, whether by reason of acceleration of the Loan or otherwise (a Prohibited Prepayment), such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.05(a) and, at Lender’s option, shall be an Event of Default. If a Prohibited Prepayment occurs and is accepted voluntarily or otherwise by Lender, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default, a Prohibited Prepayment Fee (as defined below) shall be due to compensate Lender for damages suffered as a result of the Prohibited Prepayment, such amount shall be due in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other outstanding amounts due under the Loan Documents. The Prohibited Prepayment Fee shall be a prepayment premium equal to:

(i) three percent (3%) of the outstanding principal balance of Note, plus

 

8


(ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium (as defined below).

The Yield Maintenance Premiumshall be equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the present value (PV) of all scheduled interest and principal payments due on each Payment Due Date in respect of the Loan for the period from the date of such accepted prepayment to the Maturity Date, including the principal amount of the Loan scheduled to be due on the Maturity Date, discounted at an interest rate per annum equal to the Index (defined below), based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, over (B) the principal amount of the Loan outstanding immediately before such accepted prepayment [i.e., (PV of all future payments) - (principal balance at time of acceleration)]. The foregoing amount shall be calculated by Lender and shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower (absent manifest error).

For purposes hereof, Index means the average yield for “treasury constant maturities” published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (FRB Release), for the second full week preceding the date of acceleration of the Maturity Date for instruments having a maturity coterminous with the remaining term of the Loan. If the FRB Release is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Index. If there is no Index for instruments having a maturity coterminous with the remaining term of the Loan, then the weighted average yield to maturity of the Indices with maturities next longer and shorter than such remaining average life to maturity shall be used, calculated by averaging (and rounding upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/100 of 1% per annum, if the average is not such a multiple) the yields of the relevant Indices (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1% with any figure of 1/200 of 1% or above rounded upward).

(d) Prepayment as a Result of a Casualty or Condemnation. Prepayments arising from Lender’s application of insurance proceeds upon the occurrence of a Casualty, the application of a condemnation award upon the occurrence of a Condemnation, or as set forth in Section 2.02 (e) may be made prior to the Open Date without being deemed a Prohibited Prepayment and, whenever made, without payment of the Prohibited Prepayment Fee and not subject to Defeasance Costs or Yield Maintenance Premium.

(e) Notice Irrevocable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Loan Agreement to the contrary, Borrower’s notice of defeasance in accordance with subsection 2.05(b) above shall be irrevocable, and the principal balance to be prepaid shall be absolutely and unconditionally due and payable on the date specified in such notice.

Each Reserve Account required under this Loan Agreement shall be a custodial account established by Lender, and, at Lender’s option, funds deposited into a Reserve Account may be commingled with other money held by Lender. Each Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender, and Borrower shall not have any right to withdraw funds from a Reserve Account. Unless required by the laws of the state which govern this Loan Agreement or otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to any earnings or interest on funds deposited in any Reserve Account.

(b) Funds Dedicated to Particular Purpose. Funds held in a Reserve Account are not to be used to fund Reserve Items contemplated by a different Reserve Account, and Borrower may not use and Lender shall have no obligation to apply funds from one Reserve Account to pay for Reserve Items contemplated by another Reserve Account. For example, funds held in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not be used to pay for Immediate Repairs.

Lender shall not be obligated to make any such disbursement when an Event of Default exists, and Lender may deduct from such final disbursement all outstanding amounts then due and unpaid to Lender under the Loan Documents.

(e) No Obligation of Lender. Nothing in this Loan Agreement shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Reserve Item; (ii) require Lender to advance, disburse or expend funds in addition to funds then on deposit in the related Reserve Account to make or complete any Reserve Item; or (iii) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Reserve Item.

(f) No Waiver of Default. No disbursements made from a Reserve Account at the time when a Borrower default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing shall be deemed a waiver or cure by Lender of that default or Event of Default, nor shall Lender’s rights and remedies by prejudiced in any manner thereby.

 

10


(g) Insufficient Amounts in a Reserve Account. Notwithstanding that Lender has the right to require Borrower to pay any deficiency in a Reserve Account other than the Replacement Reserve Account if Lender determines that amounts in a Reserve Account are insufficient, the insufficiency of funds in a Reserve Account, or Lender’s application of funds in a Reserve Account following an Event of Default other than for funding of the Reserve Items, shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to perform in full each of its: (i) obligations and covenants under this Loan Agreement; (ii) agreements or covenants with tenants under the Leases; and (iii) agreements with leasing agents.

In making any payment of Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate obtained from the appropriate public office with respect to Taxes without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.

(c) Surplus or Deficiency in Tax Escrow Account. If amounts on deposit in the Tax Escrow Account collected for an annual tax period exceed the Taxes actually paid during such tax period, Lender shall, in its discretion, return the excess to Borrower or credit the excess against the payments Borrower is to make to the Tax Escrow Account for the next tax period. If amounts on deposit in the Tax Escrow Account collected for an annual tax period are insufficient to pay the Taxes actually due during such tax period, Lender shall notify Borrower of the deficiency and, within ten (10) days thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such deficiency amount. If, however, Borrower receives notice of any such deficiency on a date that is within ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit the deficiency amount within two (2) business days after its receipt of such deficiency notice.

Thereafter, beginning on the first Payment Due Date and on each Payment Due Date thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Monthly Insurance Deposit.

(b) Disbursement from Insurance Premium Escrow Account. Provided amounts in the Insurance Premium Escrow Account are sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums then due and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall pay the Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying funds held in the Insurance Premium Escrow Account to the payments of Insurance Premiums then due. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate.

(c) Surplus or Deficiency in Insurance Premium Escrow Account. If amounts on deposit in the Insurance Premium Escrow Account collected for an annual period exceed the Insurance Premiums actually paid during such period, Lender shall, in its discretion, return such excess to Borrower or credit such excess against the payments Borrower is to make to the Insurance Premium Escrow Account for the next annual period.

BORROWER COVENANTS

9.01. Payment of Debt and Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall fully and punctually pay the Loan and perform the Obligations when and as required by the Loan Documents. Borrower may not prepay the Loan except in strict accordance with this Loan Agreement.

9.02. Payment of Taxes and Other Lienable Charges.

(a) Payment Obligation. Borrower shall promptly and fully pay by their due date all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter assessed or charged against the Property as they become due and payable. Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien which may be or become a Lien against the Property (including, without limitation, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens). Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay Taxes or Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with this Loan Agreement, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, upon request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Taxes and Other Charges have been paid and are not delinquent.

(b) Right to Contest. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes or Other Charges, provided that: (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) such proceeding suspends the collection of such Taxes or Other Charges and the Property will not be in danger of being sold for such unpaid Taxes or Other Charges, or Borrower has paid all of such Taxes or Other Charges under protest; (iii) such proceeding is permitted under and is conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or the Property is subject and does not constitute a default thereunder; (iv) if Borrower has not paid the disputed amounts in full under protest, unless amounts in Tax Escrow are sufficient, Borrower shall deposit with Lender cash (or other security as may be approved, in writing, by Lender) in an amount Lender deems sufficient to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges together with interest and penalties thereon, if any, provided that after a Securitization, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the contested amount (plus anticipated penalty and interest) shall be deposited with Lender; (v) Borrower furnishes to Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender; and (vi) upon a final determination thereof, Borrower promptly pays the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith.

26


9.03. Insurance.

(a) Insurance Required During the Loan Term. Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, shall obtain and maintain during the term of the Loan such insurance coverage (including, without limitation, type, minimum coverage amount, maximum deductible and acceptable exclusions) for Borrower and the Property as Lender deems reasonably necessary considering, among other things, the location and occupancy of the Property and all uses of the Property. Lender reserves the right to periodically review the insurance coverage Lender has required (types, minimum coverage amounts and maximum deductibles) and to increase or otherwise change the required coverage should Lender deem an increase or change to be reasonably necessary under then existing circumstances. Without limiting Lender’s rights hereunder in any respect, it shall be deemed reasonable for Lender to require no less coverage than the coverage Lender required to be in place on the Closing Date. Subject to the foregoing, Lender shall require the following insurance coverage to be effective during the term of the Loan, coverage amounts and deductibles to be acceptable to Lender:

(i) Property Insurance. Casualty insurance must be maintained for the Improvements and all Personal Property insuring against any peril now or hereafter included within the classification “all risks of physical loss” and in an amount at all times sufficient to prevent Borrower or Lender from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the applicable policies but in any event at all times equal to the full replacement cost (as reasonably determined and adjusted from time to time by Lender) of the Improvements and Personal Property (without taking into account any depreciation and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and paving), without any exclusions for windstorms. Where any part of the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under the Requirements of Law, such insurance must include “Ordinance of Law Coverage,” with “Time Element,” “Loss to the Undamaged Portion of the Building,” “Demolition Cost” and “Increased Cost of Construction” endorsements, in the amount of coverage requested by Lender. The policy must name Lender as an insured mortgagee under a standard mortgagee clause. The deductible shall not exceed $10,000.00.

(ii) Insurance against Acts of Terrorism. The insurance coverage provided under Section 9.03(a) in effect as of the Closing Date and during the Loan term must also insure against loss or damage resulting from acts of terrorism or comparable coverage acceptable to Lender in its discretion in an amount not less than $10,000,000. The deductible shall not exceed $100,000.00.

(iii) Boiler and Machinery Insurance. Broad form boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion) and systems breakdown coverage must be maintained, covering all steam boilers, pipes, turbines, engines or other pressure vessels, electrical machinery, HVAC equipment, refrigeration equipment and other similar mechanical equipment located in, on or about the Property in such amount per accident equal to the full replacement cost thereof (as reasonably determined and adjusted from time to time by Lender) and also providing coverage against loss of occupancy or use arising from any breakdown thereof. The policy must name Lender as an insured under a standard joint loss clause and provide that all proceeds are to be paid to Lender.

 

27


(iv) Flood Insurance. Flood insurance must be maintained if any portion of the Improvements is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or any successor thereto as a 100-year flood zone or special hazard area. The required coverage amount shall be equal to the full replacement cost of the Improvements and Personal Property (without taking into account any depreciation and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and paving). Such coverage may need to be purchased through excess carriers if the required coverage exceeds the maximum insurance available for the Property under the then-current guidelines published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or any successor thereto. The policy must name Lender as an insured mortgagee under a standard mortgagee clause.

(v) Business Interruption. Business interruption insurance must be maintained in an amount sufficient to provide the lost rental income for the Property for a period of not less than 1 year from the date of Casualty, with a 6 month extended period of indemnity (but a minimum of 18 months with a 6 month extended period of indemnity at all times during which the outstanding principal balance of the Note is greater that $25 million, a minimum of 18 months with a 12 month extended period of indemnity at all times during which the outstanding balance of the Note is greater than $50 million). For purposes of this coverage, “rental income” means the sum of (A) the total, then ascertainable Rents payable under the Leases and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other payments to be received by Borrower from third parties which are the legal obligation of the tenants, reduced to the extent such amounts would not be received because of operating expenses not incurred during the period that any portion of the Property cannot be occupied as a result of the Casualty. The policy must name Lender as a loss payee and provide that all proceeds are to be paid to Lender.

(vi) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance coverage must be maintained, covering bodily injury or death and property damage, including all legal liability to the extent insurable and all court costs, legal fees and expenses, arising out of, or connected with, the possession, use, leasing, operation, maintenance or condition of the Property in such amounts generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property but in no event for a combined single limit of less than $2 million and $1 million per occurrence. The required coverage must provide for claims to be made on an occurrence basis. The policy must name Lender as an additional insured. The insurance coverage required under this subsection (vi) may be satisfied by a layering of Commercial General Liability, Umbrella and Excess Liability Policies, but in no event will the Commercial General Liability policy be written for an amount less than $1,000,000 per occurrences and $2,000,000 aggregate for bodily injury and property damage liability. Lender may require umbrella coverage which will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

(vii) Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Workers’ compensation insurance must be maintained with respect to all employees employed at the Property, in compliance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located.

(viii) Earthquake Insurance. If the Property is located in a high earthquake hazard area, earthquake must be maintained in form, amount and with deductibles satisfactory to Lender.

 

28


(ix) Other Coverage. Without limiting Lender’s rights under this Section 9.03(a), Lender may also require Borrower to maintain builder’s risk insurance during any period of construction, renovation or alteration of the Improvements, motor vehicles liability insurance in connection with all owned or non-owned motor vehicles used in connection with the management or maintenance of the Property, “dram shop” or similar coverage if alcoholic beverages are sold at the Property, fidelity bond coverage for employees handling Rents and other income from the Property.

(b) Qualified Insurers; Lender’s Consent. All insurance must be issued under valid and enforceable policies of insurance acceptable to Lender and issued by one or more domestic primary insurers authorized to issue insurance in the state in which the Property is located. Each insurer must have a minimum investment grade rating of “A” or better (but a minimum of “A+ or better” at all times during which the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is $25,000,000 or more, but less than $75,000,000; and a minimum rating of “AA” at all times during which the outstanding principal balance of the Note is $75,000,000 or more) from S & P and/or equivalent ratings from one or Rating Agencies acceptable to Lender; provided, however, the insurer of excess coverage over $20,000,000 may have a minimum investment grade rating of “A-” or better. Lender’s approval of insurance coverage at any time is not a representation or warranty concerning the sufficiency of any coverage or the solvency of any insurer, and Lender shall not be responsible for, nor incur any liability for, the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform.

(c) Policy Requirements. All policies must be for a term of not less than a year and name Lender as a beneficiary of such coverage as provided in this Section 9.03 or otherwise identified by Lender. Each policy must also contain: (i) an endorsement or provision that permits recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omission of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates; (iii) a provision that prohibits cancellation or termination before the expiration date, denial of coverage upon renewal, or material modification without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender in each instance; and (iv) effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for Insurance Premiums against Lender. If the required insurance coverage is to be provided under a blanket policy covering the Property and other properties and assets not part of the Property, such blanket policy must specify the portion of the total coverage that is allocated to the Property and any sublimit in such blanket policy which is applicable to the Property and shall otherwise comply in all respects with the requirements of this Section 9.03.

(d) Evidence of Insurance. Borrower must deliver to Lender either (i) the original of each insurance policy required hereunder or (ii) a copy of such policy certified by the insurance agent to be a true, correct and complete copy of the original. Insurance binders or certificates will not be accepted. Evidence of the required coverage for the first year of the Loan (as well as proof of payment of the premium for the first year) must be delivered to Lender on or before the Closing Date and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each policy.

(e) Lender’s Right to Obtain Insurance for Borrower. If Borrower fails to deliver to Lender the evidence of insurance coverage required by this Loan Agreement and does not cure such deficiency within ten (10) days after Lender’s notice of nondelivery, an Event of Default

 

29


shall be deemed to have occurred (without further cure period or notice) and Lender may procure such insurance at Borrower’s expense, without prejudice to Lender’s rights upon an Event of Default. All amounts advanced by Lender to procure the required insurance shall be added to principal, secured by the Security Instrument and bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender shall not be responsible for, nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after Borrower’s failure to furnish such insurance.

(f) Additional Insurance. Borrower shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Lender without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is named insured on such insurance, (ii) Lender receives evidence of such insurance as required by subsection (d) above, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth in this Loan Agreement.

9.04. Obligations upon Condemnation or Casualty. If the Property, or any portion thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty or become subject to any Condemnation, the following shall apply:

(a) Generally. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender, in writing, of any actual or threatened Condemnation or of any Casualty that damages or renders unusable the Property or any part thereof and, except as otherwise provided below, shall promptly and diligently pursue Borrower’s claim for a Condemnation award or insurance proceeds, as applicable. Borrower shall not make any agreement in lieu of Condemnation or accept any Condemnation award in excess of $250,000 without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall not accept any settlement of insurance proceeds with respect to a Casualty in excess of $250,000 without Lender’s prior written consent. If requested by Lender, Borrower agrees to provide copies to Lender of all notices or filings made or received by Borrower in connection with the Casualty or Condemnation or with respect to collection of the insurance proceeds or Condemnation award, as applicable. Notwithstanding that a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred, or that rights to a Condemnation award or insurance proceeds are pending, Borrower shall continue to pay the Loan at the time and in the manner provided in this Loan Agreement.

(b) Lender Right to Pursue Claim. Borrower has the sole right to settle and adjust any claim under $250,000 arising with respect to the Casualty or Condemnation without Lender’s consent. Borrower and Lender shall jointly settle and adjust any claim in excess of $250,000 arising with respect to the Casualty or Condemnation; provided that, in either case, the insurance proceeds or Condemnation award, as applicable, is paid to Lender. Borrower hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution (and which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable until the Loan is paid and the Security Instrument is discharged of record, with Borrower hereby ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof) to endorse any agreements, instruments or drafts received in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation. If any portion of the insurance proceeds or Condemnation award, as applicable, should be paid directly to Borrower, Borrower shall be deemed to hold such amounts in trust for Lender and shall promptly remit such amounts to Lender. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt of the Condemnation award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the proceeds of such sale in an amount sufficient to pay the Loan

 

30


in full. All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement and collection of amounts paid with respect to a Casualty or Condemnation (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) shall be deducted and reimbursed to Lender from the insurance proceeds or Condemnation award, as applicable, prior to any other application thereof. The insurance proceeds or Condemnation award paid or payable on account of a Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable (including all business interruption insurance proceeds paid as a result of such Casualty or Condemnation), less expenses to be reimbursed to Lender hereunder, is referred to herein as the “Restoration Proceeds.”

(c) Application of Restoration Proceeds; Restoration Obligations. Except as specifically hereafter provided in subsection (d) below, Lender may, in its sole discretion, either (i) apply the Restoration Proceeds to payment of the Loan, whether or not then due and payable, or (ii) hold and release the Restoration Proceeds to Borrower (A) for the costs of Restoration undertaken by Borrower in accordance with this Loan Agreement and (B) to cover any shortfall in Operating Income as a result of such Casualty or Condemnation that is necessary to pay in full the debt service payments due from Borrower on each Payment Due Date and other Operating Expenses falling due during the period until Restoration is completed; provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to release Restoration Proceeds to fund amounts contemplated by clause (B) unless (1) Lender is satisfied that Restoration Proceeds and any amounts which Borrower elects to contribute are sufficient to pay in full the estimated cost to complete Restoration and (2) all Operating Expenses to be funded with Restoration Proceeds are approved by Lender. If Lender applies Restoration Proceeds to payment of the Loan and the Loan is still outstanding, interest will continue to accrue and be due on the unpaid principal at the Applicable Interest Rate. If Lender makes the Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall diligently pursue Restoration so as to restore the Property to at least equal value and substantially the same character as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation. All plans and specifications for the Restoration and all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen to be engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to Lender’s prior review and approval. Lender may engage, at Borrower’s expense, an independent engineer or inspector to assist Lender in its review of the approvals requested of Lender in connection with the Restoration and to periodically inspect the Restoration in progress and upon substantial completion.

(d) Condition to Release of Restoration Proceeds for Restoration. Lender agrees to make the Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration as long as:

(i) The Restoration Proceeds recovered are less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(ii) No Event of Default exists.

(iii) Borrower demonstrates to Lender’s satisfaction that the Restoration Proceeds are sufficient to pay in full the estimated cost to complete Restoration and any shortfalls in Operating Income as a result of such Casualty or Condemnation that are anticipated until Restoration is substantially completed, or, if the Restoration Proceeds are determined by Lender to be insufficient to pay such costs in full, Borrower deposits with Lender, in cash or by a cash equivalent acceptable to Lender, the additional amount estimated by Lender to be necessary to pay the full cost of Restoration (Restoration Deficiency Deposit).

 

31


(iv) The Casualty or Condemnation has not occurred in the twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date (without taking into consideration any unexercised extension).

(v) Restoration can be completed not later than the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months from the date the Casualty or Condemnation occurred but not later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date by which completion is required under the Requirements of Law to preserve the right to rebuild the Improvements as they existed prior to the Casualty or Condemnation or (C) the expiration of Borrower’s business interruption insurance.

(vi) If a Condemnation has occurred, less than 10% of the Land of a Property is taken and the land taken is along the perimeter or periphery of the Land, and no material portion of the Improvements are taken.

(vii) If a Casualty has occurred, less than 25% of the total floor area of the Improvements of a Property is damaged or rendered unusable by the Casualty and Borrower demonstrates to Lender’s satisfaction that a reasonable means of access exists to the Property and within the Improvements unaffected by the Casualty.

(viii) Borrower demonstrates to Lender’s satisfaction that, upon completion of Restoration, the net cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all Operating Expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, supporting a Debt Service Coverage Ratio at least equal to, or greater than, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio existing as of the Closing Date.

(ix) The Property and its use after completion of Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all Requirements of Law.

(e) Disbursement Procedure; Holdback. If the Restoration Proceeds will be made available by Lender to Borrower for Restoration and the estimated cost of Restoration approved by Lender (together with all other amounts then held by Borrower pursuant to this Subsection (e)) is less than $250,000, Lender shall disburse the entire amount of the Restoration Proceeds to Borrower, and Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to use the Restoration Proceeds solely for Restoration performed in accordance with this Loan Agreement. If, however, the estimated cost of Restoration approved by Lender (together with all other amounts then held by Borrower pursuant to this Subsection (e)) is more than $250,000, Lender may retain the Restoration Proceeds in a non-interest bearing escrow account and make periodic disbursements to Borrower as follows:

(i) Disbursements for Restoration.

(A) Lender will disburse Restoration Proceeds for the costs of Restoration to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (1) all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full

 

32


(except to the extent that they are to be paid out of the requested disbursement), and (2) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or, in the alternative, fully insured to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by the title company insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument.

(B) Lender may limit disbursements to not more than one (1) per month.

(C) Lender may hold-back from each requested disbursement an amount equal to the greater of (1) ten percent (10%) of the requested disbursement or (2) the amount which Borrower is permitted to withhold under its contract with the contractor or supplier to be paid with the proceeds of such disbursement (either a Restoration Holdback). Amounts held as the Restoration Holdback shall be disbursed once: (1) Lender receives satisfactory evidence that Restoration has been fully completed in accordance with all Requirements of Law; (2) Lender receives satisfactory evidence that all Restoration costs have been paid in full or will be fully paid from the remaining Restoration Proceeds and the Restoration Holdback; and (3) Lender receives, at Lender’s option, a search of title to the Property, effective as of the date on which the Restoration Holdback is to be disbursed, showing no Liens other than the Permitted Encumbrances or an endorsement to its Title Insurance Policy which updates the effective date of such policy to the date on which the Restoration Holdback is to be disbursed and which shows no Liens since the date of recordation of the Security Instrument (other than the Permitted Encumbrances).

(D) Notwithstanding subsection (C) above, Lender may release from the Restoration Holdback payments to a contractor or supplier if: (1) Lender receives satisfactory evidence that such contractor has satisfactorily completed its contract with Borrower; (2) such contractor or supplier delivers to Lender an acceptable written waiver of its mechanic’s lien, in recordable form; and (3) Borrower provides written consent from the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to such contractor or supplier.

(ii) Disbursements for Shortfalls in Operating Income. Provided that Lender determines that the Restoration Proceeds are sufficient to pay in full the estimated cost to complete Restoration, Lender will disburse Restoration Proceeds not reserved for Restoration to pay the shortfall in Operating Income necessary to pay (A) first, the debt service payments due from Borrower on each Payment Due Date falling due from the date of the Casualty or Condemnation through the date on which Restoration is substantially completed and (B) then, any Operating Expenses approved by Lender. Lender may require satisfactory evidence that Operating Expenses to be paid have been incurred and may issue payments directly to the Person entitled to the payment claimed as an Operating Expense.

(iii) Restoration Proceeds Deemed Insufficient. If, in Lender’s judgment, at any time during Restoration, the undisbursed portion of the Restoration Proceeds shall not be sufficient to pay the costs remaining for Restoration to be completed or to pay any shortfall in Operating Income needed to pay in full Borrower’s debt service payments on the

 

33


Loan and Operating Expenses anticipated to be incurred during the period of Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency with Lender, in cash or by a cash equivalent acceptable to Lender (also called a Restoration Deficiency Deposit), within thirty (30) days after Lender’s notice of such deficiency, and no further disbursement of the Restoration Proceeds will be made until such funds are deposited. Amounts held by Lender as the Restoration Deficiency Deposit shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 9.04.

(iv) Consequence of Event of Default. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse Restoration Proceeds or amounts from the Restoration Holdback when an Event of Default exists, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any undisbursed portion of the Restoration Proceeds (including the Restoration Deficiency Deposit and the Restoration Holdback) may, at Lender’s option, be applied against the Loan, whether or not then due or accelerated, in such order and manner as Lender determines.

(v) Surplus Restoration Proceeds After Restoration Completion. Any Restoration Proceeds remaining after full payment of Restoration costs and unpaid expenses due to Lender for which Lender is permitted reimbursement under this Section 9.04 shall be released to Borrower provided no Event of Default exists, and Borrower delivers evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i) Restoration has been fully completed in accordance with all Requirements of Law and (ii) the Property is free and clear of all Liens which may be asserted with respect to the Restoration.

9.05. Inspections and Right of Entry. Lender and its agents may enter the Property upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Borrower (notice to be given unless an Event of Default or an emergency exists, as determined by Lender in good faith) to inspect the Property and Borrower’s books and records relating to the Property. In making such entry and inspection, Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize disturbance to Borrower and tenants of the Property. Lender and its agents shall have access, at all reasonable times, to the Property, including, without limitation, all contracts, plans and specifications, permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Property.

9.06. Leases and Rents.

(a) Right to Enter into New Leases. Borrower may enter into new Leases for space at the Property and renew or extend existing Leases without Lender’s prior written consent provided that each such Lease: (i) is documented using, and does not materially deviate from, the Standard Lease Form; (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a tenant that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or if with an Affiliate is at market rate and terms and is for five percent (5%) or less of the units of the subject Property; (iii) will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole; and (iv) is subordinate to the Security Instrument (other than with respect to residential leases). All proposed Leases that do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section require Lender’s prior written approval at Borrower’s expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses).

(b) Observance of Lessor Obligations. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the Loan; (ii) upon Lender’s

 

34


request, shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall send or receive (or may have sent or received) under any non-residential Lease; (iii) shall enforce in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with customary practices for similarly situated properties in the geographic area of the Property, all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed by the tenant; (iv) except for short term and corporate leases not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the units of the subject Property, shall not collect any Rents more than one (1) month in advance (and for this purpose a security deposit shall not be deemed rent collected in advance); and (v) shall not execute any assignment or pledge of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents (other than in connection with the Loan).

9.07. Use of Property. Borrower shall not allow changes in the use of the Property without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant or zoning or land use ordinance limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property. If use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or the nonconforming portion of the Property to be abandoned without Lender’s prior written consent.

9.08. Maintenance of Property. Borrower shall maintain the Property in a good and safe condition and repair. No material portion of the Property shall be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal repair or replacement) without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall promptly repair or replace any portion of the Property which may become damaged, worn or dilapidated.

9.09. Waste. Borrower shall not intentionally commit or suffer any waste of the Property or intentionally do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or invalidate the insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower. Borrower will not, without Lender’s prior written consent, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Property, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

9.10. Compliance with Laws.

(a) Obligation to Perform. Borrower shall promptly and fully comply with all Requirements of Law now or hereafter affecting the Property. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of Borrower’s knowledge or receipt of any notice related to a violation of any Requirements of Law or of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Requirements of Law. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of all notices, reports or other documents relating to any litigation or governmental investigation relating to Borrower or the Property.

(b) Right to Contest. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the Requirements of Law affecting the Property or alleged violation thereof, provided that: (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) such proceedings shall be permitted

 

35


under and be conducted in accordance with the Requirements of Law; (iii) the Property will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) non-compliance with such Requirement of Law shall not impose any civil, criminal or environmental liability on Lender or Borrower; (v) Borrower deposits with Lender cash (or other security acceptable to Lender) in such amount as Lender deems sufficient to cover loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest, provided that after a Securitization, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amount estimated by Lender is deposited; (vi) Borrower furnishes to Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender; and (vii) upon a final determination thereof, Borrower promptly complies with the obligations determined to be applicable.

9.11. Financial Reports, Books and Records.

(a) Delivery of Financial Statements. Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account with respect to its financial condition and the operation of the Property, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (or such other method which is reasonably acceptable to Lender), and shall furnish the following to Lender, each prepared in such detail as reasonably required by Lender and certified by a Responsible Officer to be true, complete and correct:

(i) as soon as available, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, a monthly Rent Roll providing the required information as of the end of such calendar month;

(ii) as soon as available, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, a monthly operating statement for the Property detailing the operating income received and operating expenses incurred during such month, and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the end of such calendar month;

(iii) as soon as available, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the close of Borrower’s fiscal year, (A) an annual operating statement for the Property presented on an annual basis consistent with the monthly operating statements described above and prepared by an independent certified public accountant; (B) an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement for Borrower and prepared by an independent certified public accountant; and (C) a statement of change of financial position of Borrower, setting forth in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year; and

(iv) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such other financial information or property management information (including, without limitation, copies of Borrower’s state and federal tax returns, information on tenants under Leases to the extent such information is available to Borrower, copies of bank account statements from financial institutions where funds owned or controlled by Borrower are maintained, and an accounting of security deposits) as may reasonably be required by Lender from time to time.

(b) Lender Audit Rights. Lender and its agents have the right, upon prior written notice to Borrower (notice to be given unless an Event of Default exists), to examine the records, books and other papers which reflect upon Borrower’s financial condition or pertain to the

 

36


income, expense and management of the Property and to make copies and abstracts from such materials. Lender also shall have the right, from time to time (but, in the absence of an Event of Default existing, not more than annually) and upon prior notice to Borrower (notice to be given unless an Event of Default exists), to have an independent audit conducted of any of Borrower’s financial information. Lender shall pay the cost of such examination and audit unless Lender performed the audit following the occurrence of an Event of Default or if the results of Lender’s audit disclose an error by more than ten percent (10%), in which case (and in addition to Lender’s other remedies) Borrower shall pay the cost incurred by Lender with respect to such audit upon Lender’s demand. Upon Borrower’s failure to pay such amounts, and in addition to Lender’s remedies for Borrower’s failure to perform, the unpaid amounts shall be added to principal, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full, and payment of such amounts shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other collateral given to secure the Loan.

(c) Financial Reports from Guarantors and Others. Borrower shall cause each Guarantor and, at Lender’s request, SPE Manager and SPE Equity Owner, to provide to Lender (i) within ninety (90) days after the close of such party’s fiscal year, such party’s balance sheet and profit and loss statement (or if such party is an individual, within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year, such party’s personal financial statements) in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender and certified by such party to be accurate and complete; and (ii) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such additional financial information (including, without limitation, copies of state and federal tax returns) as Lender may reasonably require from time to time and in such detail as reasonably required by Lender.

(d) Data Delivery Failure. If a Data Delivery Failure occurs on more than two (2) separate occasions during any twelve (12) month period or on more than five (5) separate occasions while the Loan is outstanding, it shall be an immediate Event of Default.

9.12. Performance of Other Agreements. Borrower shall observe and perform in a timely manner each and every obligation to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property or used in connection with the operation of the Property (including, without limitation, the Operating Agreements). Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice to Lender of any notice received by Borrower with respect to any of the Operating Agreements which alleges a default or nonperformance by Borrower thereunder, together with a complete copy of any such notice if it would have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) enforce, short of termination, performance of the Operating Agreements to be performed or observed, and (c) not terminate or amend, or waive compliance with, any of the Operating Agreements without Lender’s prior written consent, except as may be (i) permitted pursuant to the respective terms thereof or (ii) absent the existence of an Event of Default, done in the ordinary course of business. If the absence of an Operating Agreement that has terminated will have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property, Borrower agrees to attempt to enter into a new Operating Agreement in replacement of the terminated Operating Agreement, containing terms and conditions no less favorable to Borrower than the terminated Operating Agreement without material cost to Borrower. Borrower shall notify Lender if Borrower does not replace the terminated Operating Agreement.

 

37


9.13. Existence; Change of Name; Location as a Registered Organization. Borrower shall continuously maintain (a) its existence and shall not dissolve or permit its dissolution, and (b) its rights and franchises to do business in the state where the Property is located. Borrower shall not change Borrower’s name, legal entity, or its location as a registered organization within the meaning of the UCC, without notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to its effective date. The notification requirements set forth in this Section 9.13 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the requirements of Article 7. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) in connection with any change described herein.

9.14. Property Management.

(a) Borrower shall cause the Property Manager to manage the Property in a manner consistent with other similarly situated properties in the geographic area of the Property. Borrower shall not remove or replace the Property Manager (which, with respect to a Property Manager which is an Affiliate of Borrower, shall be deemed to occur upon a change of Control of the Property Manager) or modify or waive any material terms of the Property Management Contract without Lender’s prior written consent and, if requested by Lender, a Rating Confirmation. Upon replacement of the Property Manager, Borrower shall, and shall cause the new manager of the Property to, execute an Assignment of Property Management Contract in form and substance similar to the Assignment of Property Management Contract executed by the Property Manager. Borrower shall comply with all obligations of Borrower under the Assignment of Property Management Contract. The property management fee and all other fees payable under the Property Management Contract shall not exceed 3.5% of gross revenues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event to Default has occurred and is continuing Borrower shall be permitted to pay Property Manager an incentive management fee not to exceed 1.5% of gross revenues.

(b) Termination of Property Manager. Borrower agrees, that, if (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) Property Manager becomes insolvent, Lender may deliver written notice to Borrower and Property Manager, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or Property Manager within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice or if Borrower or Property Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within such thirty (30) day period. Lender may direct Borrower to terminate the Property Management Contract and to replace Property Manager with a management company acceptable to Lender.

9.15. ERISA. Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation or action taken or to be taken hereunder by Borrower (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under any of the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence throughout the term of the Loan as requested by Lender in its sole discretion to confirm compliance with Borrower’s obligations under this Section 9.15 or to confirm that Borrower’s representations and warranties regarding ERISA remain true.

 

38


9.16. Compliance with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo. Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Borrower shall comply with all Requirements of Law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargoes and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall not take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that would cause Borrower’s representations and warranties in Section 8.28 of this Loan Agreement to become untrue or inaccurate at any time during the term of the Loan. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of Borrower’s actual knowledge that the representations and warranties in Section 8.28 of this Loan Agreement may no longer be accurate or that any other violation of the foregoing Requirements of Law has occurred or is being investigated by Governmental Authorities. In connection with such an event, Borrower shall comply with all Requirements of Law and directives of Governmental Authorities and, at Lender’s request, provide to Lender copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such event. Borrower shall also reimburse Lender for any expense incurred by Lender in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Loan and Lender’s interest in the collateral for the Loan, in obtaining any necessary license from Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Lender to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, and in complying with all Requirements of Law applicable to Lender as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Lender as a result thereof.

39


Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with reviewing and documenting a Transfer (including, without limitation, the costs of obtaining Rating Confirmations if required), which amounts must be paid by Borrower whether or not the proposed Transfer is approved. Upon Borrower’s failure to pay such amounts, and in addition to Lender’s remedies for Borrower’s failure to perform, the unpaid amounts shall be added to principal, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full, and payment of such amounts shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other collateral given to secure the Loan.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will consent one (1) time during the term of the Loan to a transfer or sale (but not a pledge, mortgage, assignment, encumbrance or other transfer as security for an obligation) of the Equity Interests in Borrower (or any owner of Borrower) provided (w) the Mezzanine Loan has been repaid in full, (x) Borrower satisfies conditions (i), (vi) and (viii) set forth in Section 10.02(a), (y) the transferee is a Qualified Transferee, and (z) Steven Zalkind, or Steven Zalkind and Donald Love directly or indirectly maintains control of the management of Borrower and not less than a 10% equity interest in Borrower.

Any such Transfer shall be without fee and with payment of Lender’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with reviewing the Transfer (including, without limitation, the costs of obtaining Rating Confirmations if required), which amounts must be paid by Borrower whether or not the proposed Transfer is approved.

10.03. Borrower Right to Partial Defeasance and Release for Allocated Maximum Loan Amount.

(a) Right to Release. Borrower shall have the right, from time to time, to partially defease the Loan and obtain a partial release (“Partial Release”) of a Release Property from the Security Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and related UCC financing statements upon satisfaction of the conditions to a Release set forth in Section 2.05(b).

(i) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time Borrower requests a Partial Release or on the Partial Release Date.

(ii) On or before the Partial Release Date, Borrower shall partially defease the Loan, in accordance with Section 2.05(b), in an amount equal to the Partial Release Price allocated to the Release Property under this Loan Agreement.

(iii) Borrower has delivered to Lender forms of all documents necessary to release the Release Property from the liens created by the Security Instrument, Assignment of Rents and Leases and related UCC financing statements, each in appropriate form required by the state in which the Release Property is located and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all respects.

(vii) Lender shall have received a copy of a deed conveying all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Release Property to an entity other than Borrower, SPE Manager, or SPE Equity Owner and a letter from Borrower countersigned by a title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such deed and agreeing to record such deed in the real estate records of the appropriate recording office in which the Release Property is located.

(b) Reimbursement of Lender Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with reviewing and documenting such Partial Release (including, without limitation, the costs of obtaining Rating Confirmations if required by Lender), which amounts must be paid by Borrower whether or not the proposed Partial Release is approved or executed. Upon Borrower’s failure to pay such amounts, and in addition to Lender’s remedies for Borrower’s failure to perform, the unpaid amounts shall be added to principal, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full and payment of such amounts shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other collateral given to secure the Loan.

(c) Liens of Security Instrument Otherwise Unaffected. No Partial Release granted by Lender shall, in any way, impair or affect the lien or priority of the Security Instrument relating to the portion of the Property not included in the Partial Release or improve the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such Partial Release. This Security Instrument shall continue as a Lien and security interest on the portion of the Property not included in a Partial Release.

10.04. Other Releases of the Mortgaged Property. In addition to the rights granted to Borrower under Section 10.03 with respect to the Release Properties, Lender may release any other portion of the Property for such consideration and upon such conditions as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the Lien or priority of the Security Instrument or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and Lender may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall have no right to request and Lender shall have no obligation to grant its consent to any release pursuant this Section 10.04.

(q) Except for the specific defaults set forth in this Section 11.01, if any other default occurs hereunder or under any other Loan Document which is not cured (i) in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower, or (ii) in the case of any other default, within thirty (30) days after Written notice from Lender to Borrower; provided that if a default under clause (ii) cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Borrower has responsibly commenced to cure such default promptly upon notice thereof from Lender and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, but in no event shall the entire cure period be more than one hundred twenty (120) days.

11.02. Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, at its option, and without prior notice or demand, do and hereby is authorized and empowered by Borrower so to do, any or all of the following:

(a) Acceleration. Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan to be immediately due and payable. If such acceleration takes place prior to the Open Date, an amount equal to the Prohibited Prepayment Fee shall be added to the balance of the Debt.

(b) Recovery of Unpaid Sums. Lender may, from time to time, take legal action to recover any sums as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the Loan shall be accelerated and without prejudice to Lender’s right thereafter to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy, if such sums remain uncollected.

(c) Foreclosure. Lender may institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the complete or partial sale of the Property under power of sale or under any applicable provision of law. In connection with any such proceeding, Lender may sell the Property as an entirety or in parcels or units and at such times and place (at one or more sales) and upon such terms as it may deem expedient unless prohibited by law from so acting.

(d) Receiver. Lender may apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt or a showing of insolvency, fraud or mismanagement on the part of Borrower. Any receiver or other party so appointed has all powers permitted by law which may be necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property. Borrower hereby consents, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Property upon Lender’s request if an Event of Default has occurred. At Lender’s option, such receiver or trustee shall serve without any requirement of posting a bond.

(e) Recovery of Possession. Lender may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, and dispossess and exclude Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom (without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise), and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating to the Property, and Borrower agrees to surrender possession of the Property and all other Property, including without limitation, all documents, books, records and accounts relating to the Property, to Lender upon demand. As a mortgagee-in-possession of the

 

44


Property, Lender shall have all rights and remedies permitted by law or in equity to a mortgagee-in-possession, including, without limitation, the right to charge Borrower the fair and reasonable rental value for Borrower’s use and occupation of any part of the Property that may be occupied or used by Borrower and the right to exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents of the Property).

(f) UCC Remedies. Lender may exercise with respect to the Property, each right, power or remedy granted to a secured party under the UCC, including, without limitation, (i) the right to take possession of the Property and to take such other measures as Lender deems necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Property, and (ii) the right to require that Borrower, at its expense, assemble the Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. Lender shall not have any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Property for sale.

(g) Apply Funds in Reserve Accounts. Lender may apply any funds then deposited in any or all of the Reserve Accounts and or otherwise held in escrow or reserve by Lender under the Loan Documents (including without limitation Restoration Proceeds) as a credit to the Loan, in such priority and proportion as Lender deems appropriate.

(h) Insurance Policies. Lender may surrender any or all insurance policies maintained as required by this Loan Agreement, collect the unearned Insurance Premiums and apply such sums as a credit on the Loan, in such priority and proportion as Lender deems appropriate. Borrower hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution (and which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable until the Loan is paid and the Security Instrument is discharged of record, with Borrower hereby ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof) to surrender such insurance policies and collect such Insurance Premiums.

(i) Protection of Lender’s Security and Right to Cure. Lender may, without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or waiving the Event of Default, perform the obligation which Borrower failed to perform in such manner and to such extent as Lender deems necessary to protect and preserve the Property and Lender’s interest therein, including without limitation (i) appearing in, defending or bringing any action or proceeding with respect to the Property, in Borrower’s name or otherwise; (ii) making repairs to the Property or completing improvements or repairs in progress; (iii) hiring and paying legal counsel, accountants, inspectors or consultants; and (iv) paying amounts which Borrower failed to pay. Amounts disbursed by Lender shall be added to the Loan, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until paid in full.

(j) Violation of Laws. If the Property is not in compliance with all Requirements of Laws, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection with such Event of Default including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

 

45


11.03. Cumulative Remedies: No Waiver: Other Security. Lender’s remedies under this Loan Agreement are cumulative (whether set forth in this Article 11 or in any other section of this Loan Agreement) with those in the other Loan Documents and otherwise permitted by law or in equity and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Lender’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s delay or failure to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such right as remedy. No partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy will preclude further exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to Borrower in any instance will not entitle Borrower to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances (except where notice is expressly required by this Loan Agreement to be given) nor constitute Lender’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lender may release security for the Loan, may release any party liable therefor, may grant extensions, renewals or forbearances with respect thereto, may accept a partial or past due payment or grant other indulgences, or may apply any other security held by it to payment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to its rights under the Loan Documents and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a reinstatement of the Loan. Lender will not be deemed as a consequence of its delay or failure to act, or any forbearance granted, to have waived or be estopped from exercising any of its rights or remedies.

11.04. Enforcement Costs. Borrower shall pay, on written demand by Lender all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in (a) collecting any amount payable under the Loan Documents, or (b) enforcing its rights under the Loan Documents, in each case whether or not legal proceedings are commenced or whether legal action is pursued to final judgment. Such fees and expenses include, without limitation, reasonable fees for attorneys, paralegals, law clerks and other hired professionals, a reasonable assessment of the cost of services performed by Lender’s default management staff, court fees, costs incurred in connection with pre-trial, trial and appellate level proceedings, including discovery, and costs incurred in post-judgment collection efforts or in any bankruptcy proceeding. Amounts incurred by Lender shall be added to principal, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until paid in full, if not paid in full within ten (10) days after Lender’s written demand for payment, and such amounts shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other collateral given to secure the Loan.

11.05. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from disposition of the Property shall be applied by Lender as a credit to the Loan and to recovery or reimbursement of the costs of enforcement (contemplated by Section 11.04 above) in such priority and proportion as Lender determines appropriate.

11.06. Cross-Default: Cross-Collateralization: Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Property taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security Instrument which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Loan

 

46


Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Property before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Property; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Property.

ARTICLE 12

NONRECOURSE – LIMITATIONS ON PERSONAL LIABILITY

12.01. Nonrecourse Obligation. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 12, Section 15.05 or expressly stated in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall enforce the liability of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Loan Agreement and in each other Loan Document only against the Property and other collateral given by Borrower as security for payment of the Loan and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and not against Borrower or any of Borrower’s principals, directors, officers or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article 12 is not applicable to the Environmental Indemnity or to any Guaranty executed in connection herewith.

12.02. Full Personal Liability. Section 12.01 above shall BECOME NULL AND VOID and the Loan FULLY RECOURSE to Borrower if: (a) the Property or any part thereof becomes an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (b) Borrower, SPE Manager or SPE Equity Owner commences a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (c) an involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower, SPE Manager or SPE Equity Owner (by a party other than Lender) but only if Borrower, SPE Manager or SPE Equity Owner has failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to dismiss such proceeding or has consented to such proceeding; or (d) if Borrower, SPE Manager, SPE Equity Owner, any Guarantor or any Affiliate or agent of (w) Borrower, (x) SPE Manager, (y) SPE Equity Owner or (z) any Guarantor has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired with any party to cause the filing of any involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding.

 

47


12.03. Personal Liability for Certain Losses. Section 12.01 above SHALL NOT APPLY and Borrower shall be PERSONALLY LIABLE for all out-of-pocket losses, claims, expenses or other liabilities incurred by Lender arising out of, or attributable to, any of the following:

(a) Fraud or intentional material misrepresentation or failure to disclose a material fact by Borrower or any other party in connection with (i) the application for the Loan or the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or making of the Loan, (ii) any financial statement or any other material certificate, report or document required to be furnished by Borrower to Lender herewith or hereafter, or (iii) any request for Lender’s consent made during the term of the Loan;

(d) Intentional misapplication or misappropriation of (i) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable to Lender in accordance with the Loan Agreement; (ii) Rent received by Borrower, (iii) Rent paid in advance by tenants under the Leases; and (iv) tenant security deposits or other refundable deposits held by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with Leases;

(f) Damage to or loss of all or any part of the Property as a result of intentional waste, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Borrower or its agents;

(g) Criminal acts of Borrower, any principal of Borrower, or any Affiliate resulting in the seizure, forfeiture or loss of all or any part of the Property;

(h) Removal of all or any portion of the Personal Property in violation of the Loan Agreement;

(i) All amounts contemplated under Section 11.04 with respect to enforcement of any Guaranty; and

(j) The occurrence of a Data Delivery Failure.

12.04. No Impairment. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall impair, release or otherwise adversely affect: (a) any lien, assignment or security interest created by the Loan Documents; (b) any indemnity, personal guaranty, master lease or similar instrument now or hereafter made in connection with the Loan (including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnity and Guaranty); (c) Lender’s right to have a receiver or trustee appointed for the

 

48


Property; (d) Lender’s right to name Borrower as a defendant in any foreclosure action or judicial sale under the Security Instrument or other Loan Documents or in any action for specific performance or otherwise to enable Lender to enforce obligations under the Loan Documents or to realize upon Lender’s interest in any collateral given to Lender as security for the Loan; or (e) Lender’s right to a judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to (i) enforce any guaranty or indemnity provided in connection with the Note, (ii) preserve or enforce its rights or remedies against any Individual Property or (iii) to obtain any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under this Loan Agreement; provided, however, that any judgment obtained against Borrower shall, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Article 12, be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property and other collateral securing payment of the Loan and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

12.05. No Waiver of Certain Rights. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed a waiver of any right which Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable law to protect and pursue its rights under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, its rights under Sections 506(a) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Loan or to require that the collateral continues to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender under Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 13

INDEMNIFICATION

13.01. Indemnification Against Claims. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, release and hold harmless Lender and each of the other Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, or in any way relating to, or as a result of (a) accident, injury to or death of Persons, or loss of, or damage to, property occurring in, on or with respect to the Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways or otherwise arising with respect to the use of the Property; (b) failure of the Property to be in compliance with any Requirements of Law; (c) breach or default of Borrower’s representations or obligations under Sections 8.27, 8.28 or 9.16 of this Loan Agreement; (d) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge the lessor’s agreements contained in any Lease; (e) breach or default under the ERISA obligations set forth in Sections 8.26 and 9.15 of this Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, legal fees and costs incurred in the investigations, defense and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion); or (f) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided, however, any such indemnity shall not apply to any Indemnified Party to the extent any such Losses arise from Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or Willful misconduct (collectively, Indemnified Claims).

13.02. Duty to Defend. If an Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Loan Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Borrower of the Indemnified Claim. After notice by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party against

 

49


such Indemnified Claim (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved, in writing, by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and at the expense of Borrower, engage its own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist it if such Indemnified Party determines that the defense as conducted by Borrower is not proceeding or being conducted in a satisfactory manner or that a conflict of interest exists between any of the parties represented by Borrower’s counsel in such action or proceeding. Within ten (10) business days of Indemnified Party’s demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Party, reimburse, the Indemnified Party for the payment of Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, engineer fees, environmental consultant fees, laboratory fees and the fees of other professionals in connection therewith) in connection with the Indemnified Claim. Payment not made timely shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full and payment of such amounts shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other collateral given to secure the Loan.

ARTICLE 14

SUBROGATION: NO USURY VIOLATIONS

14.01. Subrogation. If the Loan is used to pay, satisfy, discharge, extend or renew any indebtedness secured by a pre-existing mortgage, deed of trust or other Lien encumbering the Property, then to the extent of funds so used, Lender shall automatically, and without further action on its part, be subrogated to all rights, including lien priority, held by the holder of the indebtedness secured by such prior Lien, whether or not the prior. Lien is released, and such former rights are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Lender and are merged with the Liens created in favor of Lender as security for payment of the Loan and performance of the Obligations.

14.02. No Usury. At no time is Borrower required to pay interest on the Loan or on any other payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (or to make any other payment deemed by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest) at a rate which would subject Lender either to civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to pay. If interest (or such other amount deemed to be interest) paid or payable by Borrower is deemed to exceed such maximum rate, then the amount to be paid immediately shall be reduced to such maximum rate and thereafter computed at such maximum rate. All previous payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments of principal (in inverse order of maturity) and not on account of interest due hereunder. For purposes of determining whether any applicable usury law has been violated, all payments deemed by law or a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread over the full term of the Loan in such manner so that interest is computed at a rate throughout the full term of the Loan which does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest.

 

50


ARTICLE 15

SALE OR SECURITIZATION OF LOAN

15.01. Splitting the Note. Lender has the right from time to time to sever the Note into one or more separate promissory notes in such denominations as Lender determines in its sole discretion (including the creation of a mezzanine loan secured by a collateral assignment of the Equity Interests in Borrower and SPE Equity Owner), which promissory notes may be included in separate sales or securitizations undertaken by Lender. In conjunction with any such action, Lender may redefine the interest rate and amortization schedule; provided, however: (a) if Lender redefines the interest rate, the weighted average of the interest rates contained in the severed promissory notes taken in the aggregate shall equal the Applicable Interest Rate, and (b) if Lender redefines the amortization schedule, the amortization of the severed promissory notes taken in the aggregate shall, require no more amortization to be paid under the Loan than as required under this Loan Agreement and the Note. Subject to the foregoing, each severed promissory note, and the Loan evidenced thereby, shall be upon all of the terms and provisions contained in this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents which continue in full force and effect, except that Lender may allocate specific collateral given for the Loan as security for performance of specific promissory notes, in each case with or without cross default provisions. Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender to accomplish the foregoing, including, without limitation, execution and prompt delivery to Lender of a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably require. Borrower hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution (and which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable until the Loan is paid and the Security Instrument is discharged of record, with Borrower hereby ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof) to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance; provided, however. Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower’s failure to deliver any of the documents requested by Lender hereunder for a period of ten (10) business days after such notice by Lender shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

15.02. Lender’s Rights to Sell or Securitize. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, and each successor to Lender’s interest, may (without prior notice to Borrower or Borrower’s prior consent), sell or grant participations in the Loan (or any part thereof), sell or subcontract the servicing rights related to the Loan, Securitize the Loan or include the Loan as part of a Securitization and, in connection therewith, assign Lender’s rights hereunder to a securitization trustee. Borrower, at its expense, agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with any of the foregoing including, without limitation, executing any financing statements or other documents deemed necessary by Lender or its transferee to create, perfect or preserve the rights and interest to be acquired by such transferee, provide any updated financial information with appropriate verification through auditors letters, deliver a so called “10b-5” opinion, revised organizational documents and counsel opinions satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, executed amendments to the Loan Documents, and review information contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplements or other disclosure document, providing a mortgagor estoppel certificate and such other information about Borrower, SPE Manager, SPE Equity Owner, any Guarantor or the Property as Lender may require for Lender’s offering materials.

15.03. Dissemination of Information. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, ownership, purchase, participation or Securitization of the Loan, including, without

 

51


limitation, any Rating Agency and any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, any and all information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, SPE Manager, SPE Equity Owner or any Guarantor, as Lender determines necessary or desirable and that such information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization or syndication of participation interests, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, offering memorandum, private placement memorandum or similar document (each, a Disclosure Document) and also may be included in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosure, including, without limitation, any right of privacy.

15.04. Reserves Accounts.

LENDER CONSENT

Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents are solely those of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents is intended to create, nor shall it be construed as creating anything but a debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and Lender nor shall they be deemed to confer on anyone other than Lender, and its successors and assigns, any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.

17.02. Lender Approval. Wherever pursuant to a Loan Document (a) Lender exercises any right to approve or disapprove or to grant or withhold consent; (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender; (c) a waiver is requested from Lender, or (d) any other decision is to be made by Lender, all shall be made in Lender’s sole discretion, unless expressly provided otherwise in such Loan Document. By approving or granting consent, accepting performance from Borrower, or releasing funds from a Reserve Account, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or affirmed the sufficiency, completeness, legality or effectiveness of the subject matter or of Borrower’s compliance with Requirements of Laws. Notwithstanding any provision under the Loan Documents which provide Lender the opportunity to approve or disapprove any action or decision by Borrower, Lender is not undertaking the performance of any obligation of Borrower under any of the Loan Documents or any of the other documents and agreements in connection with this transaction (including, without limitation, the Leases).

If Lender delivers or has delivered to Borrower (or to Borrower’s agents, equity investors or representatives) any information obtained or developed by Lender relating to the Loan, the Property or Borrower, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such information has been delivered for informational purposes only and Lender has no liability of responsibility to Borrower with respect to such information, including, without limitation, the completeness or accuracy of any such information.
