2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate.

 

-23-


(a) Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the first day of the new Interest Period. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall, by written notice to Borrower (“Lender’s Notice”), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such circumstances, establish the Applicable Interest Rate at Lender’s then customary spread (the “Substitute Spread”), taking into account the size of the Loan and the creditworthiness of Borrower, above a published index used for variable rate loans as reasonably determined by Lender (the ‘“Substitute Rate”).

(c) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and, Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a LIBOR Loan on the first day of the Interest Period next following the effective date set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Substitute Rate Loan.

(d) With respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as Foreign Taxes), excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (excluding Puerto Rico). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.

(e) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and (ii) Lender may give Borrower a Lender’s Notice detailing such requirement of law, establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate plus the

 

-24-


Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from time to time plus the Substitute Spread. In the event the condition necessitating the cancellation of Lender’s obligation to make a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of such cessation in writing and the Loan shall resume its characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms herein from and after the first day of the calendar month next following such cessation. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in reasonable detail and Lender’s calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

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

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

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

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f), Borrower shall not be required to pay same unless the requirement for such additional amount is the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders similar to Lender and not the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on Lender as a result of Lender’s special circumstances. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amounts required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs or reduced amounts. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of Lender and submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the

 

-25-


absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(g) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense (other than consequential and punitive damages) which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Monthly Payment Date or (B) is a Monthly Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at a rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread on a date other than the Monthly Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the Breakage Costs). Whenever in this Section 2.2.3 the term “interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, it shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender will provide to Borrower a statement detailing such Breakage Costs and the calculation thereof.

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.2.3 shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in electing the Optional Repayment under this Section 2.4.4. shall operate or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

Section 2.5 Interest Rate Cap. At all times during the term of the Loan Borrower shall maintain in effect an Interest Rate Protection Agreement having a term equal to the term of the Loan, with an initial notional amount equal to the amount of the Loan and with a Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating. If Borrower obtains one (1) interest rate cap, the LIBOR strike rate under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate, or if Borrower obtains more than one (1) interest rate cap, the blended LIBOR strike rate under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as determined by Lender, shall be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate.

If Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request and the delivery by Mortgage Borrower or Borrower of any other additional information or documentation reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith, or with respect to a Major Lease, thereafter Mortgage Borrower or Borrower sends to Lender a second request marked “Priority” and containing a legend in bold, uppercase letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within five (5) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approval, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to the Lease Term Sheet, or with respect to a Major Lease, if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period.

(ii) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Lender has previously approved Lease Term Sheet pursuant to subsection (f)(i) above, Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of both (A) Mortgage Borrower or Borrower’s written request marked “Priority” (and containing a similar statement in bold, uppercase lettering as required under subsection (f)(i) above) for such approval or consent and (B) such other information and documentation as is material or relevant to the request or otherwise is reasonably requested by Lender. If Lender fails to respond to such request within such five (5) Business Day period, and thereafter Mortgage Borrower or Borrower sends a second request containing a legend in bold, uppercase letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within a second five (5) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approval, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which Lender’s consent or approval was sought if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such second five (5) Business Day period, provided that there have been no material deviations from the Lease Term Sheet and that the aggregate economics of the transaction are no less favorable to Mortgage Borrower than as set forth in the Lease Term Sheet.]

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are

In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

-78-

-81-


may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents and any or all of the Collateral and may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted and enacted by the State or States where any of the Collateral is located, against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a)(vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral or part thereof to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral or part thereof shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Loan Documents and not previously recovered

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to

 

-82-


effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

Section 10.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 10.5 Power of Attorney. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this subsection, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

Section 11.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 11.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnitees.

Section 11.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.

Section 11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

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 members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, 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 Collateral 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 Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
