Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, and after maturity, all Borrowings shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 5% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Borrowings as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section.

(d) Payment of Accrued Interest. Accrued interest on each Borrowing shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Borrowing and upon maturity of the Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowing, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

 

22


(e) Computation of Interest. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by Lender and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.06 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) Lender determines that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) any request for a new Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing. Determinations made by Lender under this Section 3.06 shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.06 after consideration of such factors as Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant.

3.07 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs of Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Borrowings. If any Change in Law shall

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Borrowings made by Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Borrowing (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Borrowing) or to increase the cost or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days following Borrower’s receipt of written demand from Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

23


(b) Capital Adequacy. If Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by Lender to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower will pay to Lender, from time to time, in each case within thirty (30) days following written demand from Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificate of Amounts Due. A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Demand For Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Lender Determinations. Determinations made by Lender under this Section 3.07 shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.07 after consideration of such factors as Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant.

3.08 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Borrowing other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Borrowing on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such loss, cost or expense to Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Borrowing had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Borrowing, for the period from the date of such event

 

24


to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Borrowing), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

By its signature below, Borrower waives any right under California Civil Code Section 2954.10 or otherwise to prepay any Eurodollar Borrowing, in whole or in part, without payment of the amounts described above. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing may result in Lender’s incurring additional losses, costs, expenses and liabilities, including lost revenues and lost profits. Borrower therefore agrees to pay any and all such amounts if any portion of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Borrowing, whether voluntarily or by reason of acceleration, including acceleration upon any transfer or conveyance of any right, title or interest in the Property giving Lender the right to accelerate the maturity of the Loan as provided in the Deeds of Trust. Borrower agrees that Lender’s willingness to offer Eurodollar Borrowings to Borrower is sufficient and independent consideration, given individual weight by Lender, for this waiver.

Borrower understands that Lender would not offer Eurodollar Borrowings to Borrower absent this waiver.

3.09 Taxes.

(a) No Deduction For Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes otherwise provided for in this Section 3.09 if Lender is a non U.S. entity and (i) has not filed with the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America either form W-8BEN or form W8ECI, or (ii) has failed to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. entity, if such compliance is required by statue or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

 

26


(c) Borrower Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Lender, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payment. At Lender’s request from time to time, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by each applicable Governmental Authority evidencing payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(e) Tax Refunds. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.09 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

3.10 Payments Generally; Late Fee.

(a) Payments Generally. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.07, 3.08, or 3.09, or otherwise) prior to 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, California time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Lender be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Lender at its offices at Phoenix, Arizona, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09 and 9.03 hereof shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Lender shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

 

27


(b) Application of Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of fees, indemnities and expense reimbursements then due hereunder, (ii) second, towards payment of interest then due hereunder, (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, and (iv) towards payment of Swap Obligations then due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to apply repayments and proceeds of collateral to the Obligations in any order, in its sole discretion.

(c) Late Fee. If any payment (other than the final payment of the Loan due at maturity) is not received by Lender within ten (10) days after its due date (whether as stated, by acceleration, or otherwise), Lender may assess and Borrower agrees to pay a late fee equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the past due amount or $1,500.00. Borrower shall pay the late payment fee upon demand by Lender. Such late fee is in addition to any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder.

3.11 Electronic Notices. Interest Election Requests and notices of prepayments under Sections 3.01 and 3.03 may be made by electronic communication (including email and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Lender. Such approval may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Lender otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the “receipt” by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

At the written request of Borrower made at least sixty (60) but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the Maturity Date shall be extended to the one-year anniversary of the Initial Maturity Date (the “First Extended Maturity Date”) provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(viii) If requested by Lender, Lender shall have received a CLTA 110.5 (or equivalent) endorsement to each Title Policy; and

(c) Amortization Payments during Extension Terms. In the event the maturity of the Loan is extended pursuant to this Section 3.12, until the date the Loan is fully and finally repaid and Lender’s commitment to lend under this Agreement is terminated (i) during the first extension period, Borrower shall make monthly principal payments to Lender on each Interest Payment Date, each in an amount equal to an amount that would amortize the principal balance of the Loan outstanding on the Initial Maturity Date in thirty (30) years at a rate of interest equal to the greatest of (A) a fixed rate of 6.50% per annum, (B) the rate of interest on U.S. Treasury Notes having a maturity of 10 years plus 2.50% per annum, or (C) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (applicable to a one-month interest period), plus 2.50% per annum, and (ii) if applicable, during the second extension period, Borrower shall make monthly principal payments to Lender on each Interest Payment Date, each in an amount equal to an amount that would amortize the principal balance of the Loan outstanding on the First Extended Maturity Date in thirty (30) years at a rate of interest equal to the greatest of (A) a fixed rate of 6.50% per annum, (B) the rate of interest on U.S. Treasury Notes having a maturity of 10 years plus 2.50% per annum, or (C) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (applicable to a one-month interest period), plus 2.50% per annum.

(d) Deckers Reserve Account.

(i) If Borrower requests an extension of the First Extended Maturity Date pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and, as of the First Extended Maturity Date, the Deckers Lease has not been renewed for a term expiring no sooner than November 30, 2023 pursuant to the extension terms set forth in the Deckers Lease or on terms otherwise acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, then Borrower shall deposit into a restricted account maintained with Lender (the “Deckers Reserve Account”) on or before the First Extended Maturity Date an amount sufficient to pay all estimated tenant improvement expenses and leasing commissions required in connection with the releasing of the space covered by the Deckers Lease, as reasonably determined by Lender with reference to the new Appraisal of the Property obtained by Lender in connection

 

30


with such requested extension of the First Extended Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Lender to disapprove any proposed terms for renewal of the Deckers Lease if, after giving effect to any such proposed terms, the Property and the Other Property would not satisfy, on a pro forma basis, both (1) a Combined Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.60:1.00, and (2) a Combined Debt Yield Ratio of at least twelve percent (12%).

(ii) The Deckers Reserve Account shall be an interest bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of the funds on deposit in such Deckers Reserve Account. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Deckers Reserve Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the exclusive right to control all funds in the Deckers Reserve Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in any Deckers Reserve Account established and all funds now or hereafter deposited into any such account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Lender may apply all or any portion of the funds on deposit in any Deckers Reserve Account (including accrued interest thereon) to the payment of the Obligations. The Deckers Reserve Account may be established and held in such name or names as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent of Lender its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open any Deckers Reserve Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of Section 3.12(d) hereof. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.

(iii) Borrower may from time to time request disbursements of the funds on deposit in the Deckers Reserve Account to fund or reimburse leasing commissions and/or tenant improvement costs incurred in connection with Leases approved or deemed approved by Lender in accordance with this Agreement which cover all or part of the portion of the Improvements covered by the Deckers Lease. As conditions precedent to each disbursement of funds from the Deckers Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 3.12(d)(iii), Lender shall have received and approved the following:

(A) A draw request in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(B) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that no Default or Unmatured Default exists.

 

31


(C) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each contract for labor, materials, services and/or other work included in a draw request has been duly executed and delivered by all parties thereto and is effective, and a true and complete copy of a fully executed copy of each such contract as Lender may have requested.

(D) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that no mechanic’s, materialman’s or other similar lien or other encumbrance has been filed and remains in effect against the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), no stop notices have been served on Lender that have not been bonded by Borrower in a manner and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and releases or waivers of mechanic’s liens and receipted bills showing payment of all amounts due to all parties who have furnished materials or services or performed labor of any kind in connection with the Property (other than in connection with the Told Dispute).

(E) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements have not been damaged without being repaired and are not the subject of any pending or threatened condemnation or adverse zoning proceeding.

(F) With respect to any advance to pay a contractor, original applications for payments in form reasonably approved by Lender, containing a breakdown by trade and/or other categories reasonably acceptable to Lender, executed and certified by such contractor and accompanied by invoices.

(G) Copies of notarized partial lien waiver forms executed by each contractor and each appropriate subcontractor, supplier and materialman, including such partial lien waivers from all parties sending statutory notices to contractors, notices to owners, or notices of nonpayment, specifying in such partial lien waivers the amount paid in consideration of such partial releases.

(H) Such other information, documents and materials as may be reasonably required by Lender.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

4.01 Liens, Taxes, and Governmental Claims.

(a) Liens. Borrower agrees to pay, satisfy and obtain the release of all other claims and Liens affecting or purporting to affect the title to, or which may be or appear to be Liens on, the Property or any part thereof (other than the Permitted Encumbrances), and all costs, charges, interest and penalties on account thereof, including without limitation the claims of all Persons supplying labor or materials to the Property, and to give Lender, upon demand, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the payment, satisfaction or release thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall require Borrower to pay any claims or Liens which Borrower in good faith disputes and which Borrower, at its own expense, is currently and diligently contesting, provided that Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 4.01(c) hereof.

 

32


(b) Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid, prior to the date they would become delinquent if not paid, any and all taxes, assessments and governmental charges whatsoever levied upon or assessed or charged against the Property, including all water and sewer taxes, assessments and other charges, fines, impositions and rents, if any. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall give to Lender a receipt or receipts, or certified copies thereof, evidencing every such payment by Borrower, not later than forty-five (45) days after such payment is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall require Borrower to pay any taxes, assessments or governmental charges which Borrower in good faith disputes and which Borrower, at its own expense, is currently and diligently contesting, provided that applicable law allows non-payment thereof during the pendency of such contest, and provided further that Borrower complies with the provisions of Section 4.01(c) hereof.

(c) Contest. Borrower shall not be required to pay any taxes, claims, governmental charges, or Liens being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01(a) or (b) hereof, as the case may be, so long as (i) Borrower diligently prosecutes such dispute or contest to a prompt determination in a manner not prejudicial to Lender and promptly pays all amounts ultimately determined to be owing, and (ii) Borrower provides security for the payment of such tax, assessment or governmental charge, or claim, or Lien (together with interest and penalties relating thereto) in an amount and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower shall fail to pay any such amounts ultimately determined to be owing or to proceed diligently to prosecute such dispute or contest as provided herein, then, upon the expiration of ten (10) days after written notice to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s reasonable determination thereof, in addition to any other right or remedy of Lender, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, and the cost thereof shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender. The payment by Lender of any delinquent tax, assessment or governmental charge, or any claim, or Lien which Lender in good faith believes might be prior hereto, shall be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amount so paid, and Lender shall be subrogated to all rights, equities and Liens discharged by any such expenditure to the fullest extent permitted by law.

4.02 Leases.

(a) Affirmative Covenants. Borrower shall (i) duly and punctually observe, perform and discharge in all material respects the obligations, terms, covenants, conditions and warranties of Borrower as landlord under the Leases, (ii) give prompt notice to Lender of any failure on the part of Borrower to observe, perform and discharge the same or of any written claim made by any Lessee under a Material Lease (as defined below) of any such failure by Borrower, (iii) enforce the performance of each and every material obligation, term, covenant, condition and agreement in the Leases to be performed by any Lessee or any guarantor (including, without limitation, the tenant’s obligation to pay rent as and when due), (iv) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liabilities of Borrower and any Lessee thereunder, do so in the name and on behalf of Lender upon request by Lender, but at the expense of Borrower, and pay all costs and expenses of Lender, including reasonable attorneys’

 

33


fees and disbursements, in any action or proceeding in which Lender shall appear, (v) at the request of Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Lessee under a Lease to execute and deliver to Lender a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender promptly upon the execution of such Lease, (vi) at the request of Lender, in confirmation of the assignment and transfer contemplated by the applicable Deed of Trust, execute and deliver to Lender assignments and transfers of all future Leases upon the same terms and conditions as contained in such Deed of Trust, and (vii) make, execute and deliver to Lender upon demand and at any time or times, any and all assignments and other documents and instruments which Lender may reasonably deem advisable to carry out the true purposes and intent of the assignment set forth in the applicable Deed of Trust. Lender shall cooperate in good faith with any request made in connection with a Lease approved or deemed approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the execution and delivery by Lender of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement prepared on Lender’s then-current standard form subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with only such changes thereto as Lender may approve in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Negative Covenants. Unless Borrower first obtains the written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not (i) cancel, terminate or consent to any surrender of any Lease covering in excess of 25,000 rentable square feet of any Improvements (such Lease being referred to herein as a “Material Lease”) unless such Lease is immediately replaced with a Lease with comparable or better terms or unless compelled to do under court order, (ii) materially and adversely modify or alter the terms of any Material Lease unless, after giving effect to any such modification or alteration, such Material Lease satisfies the requirements for “deemed” approval as set forth below, (iii) waive or release any Lessee or any guarantors under a Material Lease from any material obligations or conditions to be performed by such Lessee or guarantors, (iv) enter into any Lease of all or any portion of the Property unless such Lease is “deemed” approved by Lender as set forth below, (v) renew or extend the term of any Material Lease, except as required under the terms of such Material Lease or unless such Material Lease, as so renewed or extended, satisfies the requirements for “deemed” approval by Lender as set forth below, (vi) except as required under the terms of a Material Lease, consent to any subletting of the premises under any Material Lease, to any assignment of any such Material Lease by the Lessee thereunder, or to any assignment of or further subletting of any sublease of any such Material Lease unless, after giving effect to such sublease or assignment, such Master Lease (and any and all subleases thereof) satisfies the requirements for “deemed” approval by Lender set forth below, (vii) receive or collect any rents from any Lessee for a period of more than one month in advance, (viii) further pledge, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber or assign future payments of rents, or (ix) waive, excuse, condone, discount, set off, compromise, or in any manner release or discharge any Lessee under any Lease of and from any material obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements to be kept, observed and performed by such Lessee, including the obligation to pay rents thereunder, in the manner and at the time and place specified therein. Borrower may deliver to Lender a negotiated term sheet or letter of intent with respect to any proposed new Lease or any proposed amendment to any existing Lease and request that Lender provide Borrower with Lender’s preliminary, non-binding approval or disapproval of any such proposed terms (in each case, a “Preliminary Response”). Lender shall review any such request promptly and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such request

 

34


within five (5) Business Days. Borrower expressly acknowledges, however, that any such Preliminary Response provided by Lender shall be non-binding and shall not constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an approval by Lender of any such terms or any such proposed Lease or amendment. Lender’s failure to disapprove any matter as to which Lender’s prior approval is required under this Section 4.02(b) within a seven (7) Business Day period after Lender shall have received a written request for approval specifically referencing this Section 4.02(b) and all documents and materials reasonably requested by Lender in connection with any such matter (including, without limitation, complete copies of any proposed Lease or amendment to any Lease, and any and all financial statements and materials of any proposed tenant, subtenant and any lease guarantor to the extent available to Borrower) shall be deemed to constitute Lender’s approval thereof.

(c) “Deemed” Approval of Leases. Lender shall be “deemed” to have approved any Lease that: (i) is on the Standard Form Lease with no material deviations except as approved by Lender; (ii) is entered into in the ordinary course of business with a bona fide unrelated third party tenant, and Borrower, acting in good faith and exercising due diligence, has determined that the tenant is financially capable of performing its obligations under the Lease; (iii) is received by Lender, together with any guaranty(ies) and, if requested by Lender, all financial information received by Borrower regarding the tenant and any guarantor(s), within fifteen (15) days after execution; (iv) reflects an arm’s length transaction; (v) contains no option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Property or any present or future interest therein; (vi) requires the tenant to execute and deliver to Lender an estoppel certificate in form and substance acceptable to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender; (vii) does not cover in excess of 75,000 rentable square feet of the applicable Improvements; and (viii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, that no proposed Lease or proposed amendment to any existing Lease shall be “deemed” approved by Lender if, after giving effect to such proposed Lease or amendment, the Property and the Other Property shall not satisfy (A) if the effective date of such proposed Lease or amendment is during the initial term of the Loan, a Pro Forma Debt Yield Ratio of at least eleven percent (11%) and a Pro Forma Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.50:1.00, or (B) if the effective date of such proposed Lease or amendment is during any extended maturity period in effect pursuant to Section 3.12 above, a Pro Forma Debt Yield Ratio of at least twelve percent (12%) and a Pro Forma Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.60:1.00. Prior to execution, Borrower shall provide to Lender via nationally recognized overnight courier a written request for approval (which request shall specifically reference this Section of this Agreement) of each Lease that does not meet the foregoing requirements for “deemed” approval by Lender, which request shall be accompanied by a correct and complete copy of the applicable Lease, including any exhibits, and any guaranty(ies) thereof. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in reviewing and approving Leases and any guaranties thereof, and also in negotiating subordination agreements and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements with tenants, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lease shall be deemed approved by Lender as provided above unless and until Lender shall have received and approved the Standard Form Lease (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not Lender or any Affiliate is a party thereto, but excluding indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages) which any of them may actually pay or incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in Lender’s judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01(i) hereof or a breach of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.11. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.12 Inspections.

Lender, through its officers, agents and employees, shall, subject to the rights of tenants, have the right at all reasonable times, on reasonable prior notice and at Lender’s sole risk (a) to enter upon the Property and inspect the Improvements located thereon and the construction of the Capital Improvement Work; and (b) to examine, books, records, accounting data and other documents pertaining to the Property. Borrower will cooperate with Lender and Lender’s representatives and consultants with respect to any such inspection.

4.13 Debt Yield.

(a) Borrower will not permit the Combined Debt Yield Ratio to be less than eleven percent (11%) (the “Minimum Required Debt Yield”), which shall be tested as of the end of the twelfth (12th) month following the closing of the Loan and as of the end of each twelve-month period thereafter (each a “Test Date”). If, as of any Test Date, the Combined Debt Yield Ratio is less than eleven percent (11%), then for the twelve (12) month period following such Test Date (each an “Excess Cash Flow Collection Period”), Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash Flow generated by the Property during each month into a restricted account maintained with Lender (the “Borrower’s Funds Account”), which deposits shall be made within twenty (20) days after the end of each such month. If, as of the last day of any Excess Cash Flow Collection Period, the Combined Debt Yield Ratio is less than eleven percent (11%), then, within twenty (20) days after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Collection Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender (each such payment, a “Remargin Payment”) for application to the Obligations an amount demanded by Lender up to the lesser of (i) the amount required to fully repay the Obligations, and (ii) the amount required to cause the Minimum Required Debt Yield to be satisfied as of the last day of such Excess Cash Flow Collection Period (provided,

 

42


however, that the amount then demanded by Lender from Borrower and each Affiliate Borrower under Section 4.13 of each Other Loan Agreement, shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the amount required to cause the Minimum Required Debt Yield to be satisfied as of the last day of such Excess Cash Flow Collection Period). At Borrower’s request in connection with any required Remargin Payment, Lender shall apply the amount then on deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account to any such required Remargin Payment; provided, however, if the amount then on deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account is not sufficient to pay in full the required Remargin Payment, Borrower shall pay the deficiency to Lender from other sources as and when due under this Section 4.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Minimum Required Debt Yield is not satisfied as of any Test Date, then Lender shall retest as of the end of each three-month period during the Excess Cash Flow Collection Period (each a “Retest Date”) whether the Minimum Required Debt Yield is then satisfied. If, as of any such Retest Date, the Minimum Required Debt Yield is then satisfied, Borrower shall have no further obligation to deposit Excess Cash Flow into the Borrower’s Funds Account during such Excess Cash Flow Collection Period and all amounts then on deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account shall be promptly released to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts then deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account shall be promptly released to Borrower upon full and final payment of the Obligations.

(b) The Borrower’s Funds Account shall be an interest bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of the funds on deposit in such Borrower’s Funds Account. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the exclusive right to control all funds in the Borrower’s Funds Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in any Borrower’s Funds Account established and all funds now or hereafter deposited into any such account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Lender may apply all or any portion of the funds on deposit in any Borrower’s Funds Account (including accrued interest thereon) to the payment of the Obligations. The Borrower’s Funds Account may be established and held in such name or names as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent of Lender its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open any Borrower’s Funds Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section 4.13. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.

(b) Final Completion Date; Revised Capital Improvement Budget. If the Capital Improvement Work is not Completed on or before the Estimated Completion Date, then (i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or before the Estimated Completion Date an updated Capital Improvement Budget, which Capital Improvement Budget shall (A) be current as of the Estimated Completion Date, (B) include a certification of all budgeted costs and expenses paid through the date of such updated Capital Improvement Budget, together with such evidence of payments and conditional and final lien waivers as Lender may reasonably request with respect to all completed work, and (C) be subject in all respects to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) Borrower shall deposit into a restricted account maintained with Lender (the “Capital Improvements Reserve Account) on or before the Estimated Completion Date an amount sufficient to pay all costs and expenses required to cause the Capital Improvement Work to be Completed, as set forth in the updated Capital Improvement Budget delivered to and approved by Lender pursuant to and in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 4.14(b).

(c) Capital Improvements Reserve Account.

(i) The Capital Improvements Reserve Account shall be an interest bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of the funds on deposit in such Capital Improvements Reserve Account. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Capital Improvements Reserve Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the exclusive right to control all funds in the Capital Improvements Reserve Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in any Capital Improvements Reserve Account established and all funds now or hereafter deposited into any such account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Lender may apply all or any portion of the funds on deposit in any Capital Improvements Reserve Account (including accrued interest thereon) to the payment of the Obligations. The Capital Improvements Reserve Account may be established and held in such name or names as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent of Lender its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open any Capital Improvements Reserve Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section

 

44


4.14. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.

(ii) Borrower may from time to time request disbursements of the funds on deposit in the Capital Improvements Reserve Account to fund or reimburse costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Capital Improvement Work in accordance with this Agreement.

(B) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that no Default or Unmatured Default exists.

(C) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each contract for labor, materials, services and/or other work included in a draw request has been duly executed and delivered by all parties thereto and is effective, and a true and complete copy of a fully executed copy of each such contract as Lender may have requested.

(E) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements have not been damaged without being repaired and are not the subject of any pending or threatened condemnation or adverse zoning proceeding.

(F) With respect to any advance to pay a contractor, original applications for payments in form reasonably approved by Lender, containing a breakdown by trade and/or other categories reasonably acceptable to Lender, executed and certified by such contractor and accompanied by invoices.

(G) Copies of notarized partial lien waiver forms executed by each contractor and each appropriate subcontractor, supplier and materialman, including such partial lien waivers from all parties sending statutory notices to contractors, notices to owners, or notices of nonpayment, specifying in such partial lien waivers the amount paid in consideration of such partial releases.

 

45


(H) Such other information, documents and materials as may be reasonably required by Lender.

(d) Changes to Plans and Specifications. Borrower shall not make any material change in the plans and specifications for the Capital Improvement Work delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A material change for purposes hereof shall be any change (whether such change increases or decreases the total cost of the Improvements), which (i) involves a cost of more than (A) for any single item, Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or (B) for all such items (without netting cost increases against cost savings), Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), (ii) impairs the structural integrity or the configuration of the Improvements, (iii) substantially changes the architectural appearance of the Improvements or (iv) results in a violation of any applicable Legal Requirement.

(e) Inspecting Professional. In furtherance of Lender’s rights hereunder, Lender may, at its option, subject to the rights of tenants, require monthly inspections of the Property by the Inspecting Professional during the construction of the Capital Improvement Work; provided, however, except in the case of emergency, Lender (or the Inspecting Professional) shall give Borrower at least one (1) Business Days’ notice prior to each such inspection. Without limitation of the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof, Borrower shall provide the Inspecting Professional with copies of any testing reports received by Borrower with respect to the Property promptly upon Borrower’s receipt thereof.

(f) Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that Lender is under no duty to supervise or to inspect the work of construction, and that any such inspection by or on behalf of Lender is for the sole purpose of protecting the interests of Lender with respect to the Property. Failure to inspect the work or any part thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights hereunder. Inspection not followed by notice of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any Default then existing; nor shall it constitute an acknowledgment that there has been or will be compliance with the applicable plans and specifications or applicable legal requirements or that the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship. It is further understood and agreed that any consents or approvals of Lender hereunder are for the sole purpose of protecting the interests of Lender under the Loan Documents and Borrower shall have no right to rely on such approvals for Borrower’s purposes.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION

6.01 Insurance and Casualty.

(a) Required Insurance Coverage. Borrower, at its expense, shall maintain and deliver to Lender policies of insurance providing the following:

(i) Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence combined single limit and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate for the policy period, or in whatever higher amounts as may be required by Lender from time to time by notice to Borrower, and extended to cover: (a) Contractual Liability assumed by Borrower with defense provided in addition to policy limits for indemnities of the named insured, (b) if any of the work is subcontracted, Independent Contractors Liability providing coverage in connection with such portion of the work which may be subcontracted, (c) Broad Form Property Damage Liability, (d) Products & Completed Operations for coverage, such coverage to apply for two years following completion of construction, (e) waiver of subrogation against all parties named additional insured, (f) severability of interest provision, and (g) Personal Injury & Advertisers Liability.

(ii) Automobile Liability including coverage on owned, hired and non-owned automobiles and other vehicles, if used in connection with the performance of the work, with Bodily Injury and Property Damage limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence combined single limit, with a waiver of subrogation against all parties named as additional insured.

(iii) Umbrella/Excess Liability in excess of Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability and Employers’ Liability coverages which is at least as broad as these underlying policies with a limit of liability of $10,000,000.00.

(iv) All-Risk Property (Special Cause of Loss) Insurance on the Improvements in an amount not less than the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the insured Improvements and personal property related thereto. During any construction period, such policy shall be written in the so-called “Builder’s Risk Completed Value Non-Reporting Form” with no coinsurance requirement and shall contain a provision granting the insured permission to occupy prior to completion. Such policy shall not contain an exclusion for terrorist losses. However, if such an exclusion exists in the All-Risk policy, a separate Terrorism policy covering Certified Acts of Terrorism must be evidenced to Lender in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Improvements. This policy must also list Lender as mortgagee and loss payee.

(v) Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the applicable laws of the state in which the work is to be performed or of the state in which Borrower is obligated to pay compensation to employees engaged in the performance of the work. The policy limit under the Employer’s Liability Insurance section shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 for any one accident.

 

50


(vi) If all or any portion of the Property lies within a “special flood hazard area” as designated on maps prepared by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, a National Flood Insurance Association standard flood insurance policy covering the Property, plus insurance from a private insurance carrier if necessary, for the duration of the Loan in the amount of the full insurable value of the Improvements located on the Property, or the amount of the Loan, whichever is less.

(vii) Rent loss or business interruption insurance against loss of income (including, but not limited to, rent, cost reimbursements and all other amounts payable by tenants under Leases or otherwise derived by Borrower from the operation of the Property) arising out of damage to or destruction of the Property and Improvements by fire or other peril insured against under each policy. The amount of the policy shall be in the amount equal to one year’s projected rentals or gross revenue.

(viii) Such other insurance as Lender may reasonably require, which may include, without limitation, errors and omissions insurance with respect to the contractors, architects and engineers, and earthquake insurance; provided, however, that Lender shall not require Borrower to maintain earthquake insurance unless a so called “PML” report with respect to the Property reflects a probable maximum loss of twenty percent (20%) or more in the event of an earthquake or other seismic casualty.

(b) Policy Requirements. All insurance policies shall (i) be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located having a rating of “A-” VIII or better by A.M. Best Co., in Best’s Rating Guide, (ii) name “JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., any and all subsidiaries and their successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear” as additional insureds on all liability insurance and as mortgagee and loss payee on all All-Risk Property, flood insurance and rent loss or business interruption insurance, (iii) be endorsed to show that Borrower’s insurance shall be primary and all insurance carried by Lender is strictly excess and secondary and shall not contribute with Borrower’s insurance, (iv) provide that Lender is to receive thirty (30) days written notice prior to non-renewal or cancellation, (v) be evidenced by a certificate of insurance to be provided to Lender, (vi) include either policy or binder numbers on the ACORD form, and (vii) be in form and amounts reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(c) Evidence of Insurance; Payment of Premiums. Borrower shall deliver to Lender, at least five (5) days before the expiration of an existing policy, evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of the continuation of the coverage of the expiring policy. If Lender has not received satisfactory evidence of such continuation of coverage in the time frame herein specified, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance for Lender’s interest only. Any amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section shall be repaid by Borrower within ten (10) days after written demand therefor. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Lender shall never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Lender on account on this Section. The payment by Lender of any insurance premium for insurance which Borrower is obligated to provide hereunder but which Lender believes has not been paid, shall be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amounts so paid. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due, and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Property which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon.

 

51


(d) Collateral Protection. Unless Borrower provides Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Lender’s interest in the Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest in the Property. The coverages that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Lender purchases insurance for the Property, Borrower will be responsible for the actual costs of that insurance, including any charges imposed by Lender in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. The costs of the insurance may, at Lender’s discretion, be added to Borrower’s total principal obligation owing to Lender, and in any event shall be secured by the liens on the Property created by the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the costs of insurance obtained by Lender may be more than the costs of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.

(e) No Liability; Assignment. Lender shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any unearned premiums paid on policies and any claims thereunder and Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign any then existing claims under the same to any purchaser of the Property at any foreclosure sale; provided, however, that so long as no Default exists and is continuing hereunder, Borrower shall have the right under a license granted hereby, and Lender hereby grants to Borrower a license, to exercise rights under said policies and in and to said premiums subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Said license shall be revoked automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default hereunder.

(f) No Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry any separate insurance on the Property concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or contributing in the event of loss without Lender’s prior written consent, and any such policy shall have attached a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with loss payable to Lender, and shall otherwise meet all other requirements set forth herein.

(g) Casualty Loss.

(i) If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. With respect to any such casualty loss for which Borrower has an insurance claim with a value in excess of $500,000, Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender, at Lender’s option and in Lender’s sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under

 

52


insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided, however, that the foregoing authorization and empowerment of Lender to act as attorney-in-fact for Borrower shall not become effective until the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or until such time as Borrower fails to diligently pursue the collection of such insurance proceeds in Lender’s reasonable opinion. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable, or coupled with an interest, and continuing so long as any Obligations remain outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lender, its successors and assigns.

(ii) As sole loss payee on all policies of casualty insurance, Lender shall receive all insurance proceeds from any casualty loss, and shall hold the same in an interest-bearing account pending disposition in accordance with this Section. Borrower authorizes Lender to deduct from such insurance proceeds received by Lender all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the collection thereof (the remainder of such insurance proceeds being referred to herein as “Net Casualty Proceeds”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the exclusive right to receive the proceeds of all insurance for loss of or damage to the Property in cases in which such claim is valued at less than $500,000.

(iii) Lender shall cause the Net Casualty Proceeds from any casualty loss affecting a Property to be disbursed for the cost of reconstruction of the Property if all of the following conditions are satisfied within ninety (90) days after the applicable casualty loss: (a) Borrower satisfies Lender (in Lender’s reasonable judgment) that the reconstruction can be completed within a reasonable period of time after such casualty loss (but in no event later than the Maturity Date) and that after giving effect to such reconstruction the affected Property will be restored to substantially the same condition immediately prior to the casualty loss; (b) Borrower satisfies Lender (in Lender’s reasonable judgment) that the Net Casualty Proceeds are sufficient to pay all costs of reconstruction, and if insufficient, Borrower deposits with Lender additional funds to make up such insufficiency; (c) Borrower delivers to Lender all plans and specifications and construction contracts for the work of reconstruction and such plans and specifications and construction contracts are in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender and with a contractor acceptable to Lender; and (d) Borrower delivers to Lender satisfactory evidence (in Lender’s reasonable judgment) that upon completion of the reconstruction, Leases approved or deemed approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement demising in the aggregate no less than the lesser of (i) the net rentable square feet in the Improvements covered by Leases in effect immediately prior to the casualty loss, and (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the net rentable square feet in the Improvements located on the portion of the Property affected by the casualty, will remain in full force and effect. The disbursement of Net Casualty Proceeds pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be in accordance with customary disbursement procedures and shall not be available after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default. Any Net Casualty Proceeds not required to reconstruct the Property shall be

 

53


delivered to Borrower after expiration of the lien period for the work of reconstruction (or, at Borrower’s option, after delivery of title insurance to Lender, over such liens where the lien period has not so expired). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions set forth in subclauses (a) through (d) hereof by the required date, Lender, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all Net Casualty Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Obligations. If the maturity of the Loan is extended in accordance with Section 3.12 above and any Net Casualty Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations during any such extension period, then the amortization payments thereafter required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.12(c) shall be recalculated by Lender to reflect such paydown of the Loan Amount. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any casualty loss and restore the affected Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such casualty provided the applicable Net Casualty Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.

6.02 Condemnation and Other Awards.

Immediately upon receiving written notice of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, Borrower shall notify Lender of such fact. Borrower shall then file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute the same with due diligence to its final disposition; provided, however, that Borrower shall not enter into any settlement of such proceeding without the prior approval of Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in any such proceeding in its own name, and upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or if Borrower fails to diligently prosecute such proceeding (in Lender’s reasonable judgment), (a) Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in and prosecute any such proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such condemnation on behalf of Borrower, and (b) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, and such appointment is coupled with an interest, to commence, appear in and prosecute such action or proceeding or to make such compromise or settlement in connection with any such condemnation on its behalf. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing so long as the Obligations remain outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lender, its successors and assigns. If all or any material portion of the Property is taken or materially diminished in value in connection with such condemnation, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Borrower by virtue of its interest in the Property, shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred and set over unto Lender; provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the exclusive right to receive the award or settlement payable to Borrower in connection with any such condemnation in cases in which such award or settlement is valued at less than $500,000. Any such award or settlement received by Lender shall be first applied to reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the collection of such award or settlement. The balance of such award or settlement (the “Net Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid to Lender for application in the manner set forth in Section 6.01(g) as if such award or settlement constituted insurance proceeds from a casualty loss; provided,

 

54


however, that Lender shall have no obligation to make Net Condemnation Proceeds available for construction or reconstruction of the Property unless Lender has reasonably determined that the Property as so constructed or reconstructed after giving effect to the condemnation would have a value that is not materially less than its value would have been had there been no such condemnation. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any condemnation and restore the affected Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such condemnation provided the applicable Net Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any condemnation and restore the affected Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such condemnation unless Lender shall make available to Borrower all Net Condemnation Proceeds received by Lender in connection with such condemnation. If the maturity of the Loan is extended in accordance with Section 3.12 above and any Net Condemnation Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations during any such extension period, then the amortization payments thereafter required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.12(c) shall be recalculated by Lender to reflect such paydown of the Loan Amount.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION AND REMEDIES

8.01 Acceleration.

If any Default described in Sections 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) hereof occurs with respect to Borrower, the obligations, if any, of the Lender to make any additional advance of the Loan hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations (other than Swap Obligations included therein) shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, Lender may declare the Obligations (other than Swap Obligations included therein) to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations (other than Swap Obligations included therein) shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives. Lender has the rights and remedies with respect to the Swap Obligations as provided in the Swap Agreements.

8.02 Right to Perform Work.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default hereunder, Lender shall have the right, in person or by agent, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to take possession of the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements or any tenant improvements in accordance with the applicable plans and specifications (with such modifications as shall be deemed appropriate by Lender), and employ watchmen to protect the Property from injury. All reasonable sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been paid to Borrower and constitute Obligations. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to so complete the Improvements or any tenant improvements in the name of Borrower. Borrower hereby empowers said attorney to: (a) make such additions, changes and corrections in any applicable plans and specifications as Lender deems appropriate; (b) employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; (c) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for such completion of any Improvements or tenant improvements or for clearance of title; (d) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (e) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the construction of the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any bond or guaranty of completion; and (g) do any and every act which Borrower might do on its own behalf. It is further understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.

8.03 Curing of Defaults.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default hereunder, without waiving any right of acceleration or foreclosure under the Loan Documents which Lender may have by reason of such Default or any other right Lender may have against Borrower because of said Default, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take such actions and make such payments as shall be necessary to cure such Default, including, without limitation, the making of Borrowings. All amounts so expended shall constitute Obligations and shall be payable by Borrower on demand by Lender.

(b) Electronic Notices. Lender or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Changes in Address. Any party hereto may change its address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b) hereof, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any advance of the Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Unmatured Default, regardless of whether Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Unmatured Default at the time.

(b) Waivers and Amendments. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender.

9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates, including appraisal fees, inspection fees, title and escrow charges and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, the preparation and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loan made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan.

 

61


(b) Borrower Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, but excluding indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages (collectively, “Losses), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The foregoing indemnity set forth in this Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to any Losses, which are the subject of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that Borrower’s liability for environmental matters be governed exclusively by the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and not by this Agreement.

(c) DAMAGE WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LENDER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST BORROWER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

(d) Payment of Amounts Due. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor.

9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower or Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower or Guarantor without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.04(c) hereof) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any of the Loan Documents.

 

62


(b) Assignment by Lender.

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.04(b)(ii) below, Lender may, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Borrower, provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee.

(ii) Subject to Lender’s notification to Borrower of an assignment (and, if required, Borrower’s consent thereto), assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 4.11(c) and 9.03 hereof). Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders.

(c) Participations.

(i) Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (a) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) Lender shall remain solely responsible to Borrower for the performance of such obligations, and (c) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which Lender sells such a participation shall provide that Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Subject to Section 9.04(c)(ii) hereof, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 (solely with respect to the participation sold to such Participant) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b) hereof.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.07 or 3.08 hereof than Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.

 

63


(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, without the prior written consent of Borrower in each case, Lender shall not have the right to split the Loan into two or more separate loans, including, without limitation, any mezzanine loans (it being acknowledged, however, that neither the assignment of all, but not less than all of Lender’s interest in the Loan in accordance with Section 9.04(b) above, nor the sale of one or more participations in the Loan in accordance with Section 9.04(c) shall be deemed to constitute “splitting” the Loan into two or more separate loans).

(d) Pledges by Lender. Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest (or the enforcement of any rights and remedies thereunder) shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto.

9.05 Survival.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on the Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding. The provisions of Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, and 9.03 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Lender and when Lender shall have received a counterpart hereof duly executed by Borrower, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

64


9.07 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.08 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of California.

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Lender and Borrower each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or California State court sitting in any County in the State of California in which the Property is located, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such California State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Objection to Venue. Lender and Borrower each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 9.08(b) hereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

9.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

 

65


EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

IN THE EVENT ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING IS FILED IN A COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (THE “COURT”) BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY) (EACH, A “CLAIM”) AND THE WAIVER SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH IS NOT ENFORCEABLE IN SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MATTERS SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 2 BELOW, ANY CLAIM WILL BE DETERMINED BY A GENERAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 THROUGH 645.1. THE PARTIES INTEND THIS GENERAL REFERENCE AGREEMENT TO BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCEABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, VENUE FOR THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING WILL BE IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE COUNTY OR DISTRICT WHERE VENUE IS OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

2. THE FOLLOWING MATTERS SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO A GENERAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING: (A) NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE OF ANY SECURITY INTERESTS IN REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY, (B) EXERCISE OF SELF-HELP REMEDIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SET-OFF), (C) APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AND (D) TEMPORARY, PROVISIONAL OR ANCILLARY REMEDIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WRITS OF ATTACHMENT, WRITS OF POSSESSION, TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDERS OR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS). THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO EXERCISE OR OPPOSE ANY OF THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES DESCRIBED IN CLAUSES (A) - (D) AND ANY SUCH EXERCISE OR OPPOSITION DOES NOT WAIVE THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO A REFERENCE PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

3. UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED JUDGE OR JUSTICE. IF THE PARTIES DO NOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF SUCH WRITTEN REQUEST, THEN, ANY PARTY MAY REQUEST THE COURT TO APPOINT A REFEREE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 640(B).

 

66


4. ALL PROCEEDINGS AND HEARINGS CONDUCTED BEFORE THE REFEREE, EXCEPT FOR TRIAL, SHALL BE CONDUCTED WITHOUT A COURT REPORTER, EXCEPT WHEN ANY PARTY SO REQUESTS, A COURT REPORTER WILL BE USED AND THE REFEREE WILL BE PROVIDED A COURTESY COPY OF THE TRANSCRIPT. THE PARTY MAKING SUCH REQUEST SHALL HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO ARRANGE FOR AND PAY COSTS OF THE COURT REPORTER, PROVIDED THAT SUCH COSTS, ALONG WITH THE REFEREE’S FEES, SHALL ULTIMATELY BE BORNE BY THE PARTY WHO DOES NOT PREVAIL, AS DETERMINED BY THE REFEREE.

5. THE REFEREE MAY REQUIRE ONE OR MORE PREHEARING CONFERENCES. THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE ENTITLED TO DISCOVERY, AND THE REFEREE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF DISCOVERY, AND MAY ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY ORDERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS ANY TRIAL COURT JUDGE IN PROCEEDINGS AT LAW IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE REFEREE SHALL APPLY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE APPLICABLE TO PROCEEDINGS AT LAW IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND SHALL DETERMINE ALL ISSUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAW. THE REFEREE SHALL BE EMPOWERED TO ENTER EQUITABLE AS WELL AS LEGAL RELIEF AND RULE ON ANY MOTION WHICH WOULD BE AUTHORIZED IN A TRIAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MOTIONS FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT OR SUMMARY JUDGMENT. THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT HIS DECISION, WHICH REPORT SHALL ALSO INCLUDE FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.

6. THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS RESOLVED IN A GENERAL REFERENCE PROCEEDING PURSUANT HERETO WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY.

9.10 Headings.

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

9.11 Confidentiality.

Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Obligations or the enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents or any Swap Agreement, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the

 

67


same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business or any Guarantor relating to such Guarantor or its business, other than any such information that is available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or such Guarantor. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

9.12 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Borrowing, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Borrowing hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Borrowing but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to Lender in respect of other Borrowings or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by Lender.

9.13 USA Patriot Act.

Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information reasonably requested by Lender that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 

68


9.14 Replacement Documentation.

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note or any other security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor. In the event that Borrower issues such replacement Note or other security document, Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Borrower from any liability incurred by Borrower in connection with the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or security document.

9.15 Swap Agreements.

All Swap Agreements, if any, between Borrower and Lender or any Affiliate of Lender are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of said Swap Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of the Loan Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in said written Swap Agreements, and any payoff statement from Lender relating to the Loan shall not apply to said Swap Agreements.
