ACCORDINGLY, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Lender and Borrower agree as follows:

 

SECTION ONE

THE LOAN

 

1.1          Amount. The maximum principal amount of the Loan shall not exceed the “Maximum Loan Amount” which shall be the lesser of: (i) Ninety Million and No/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00) or (ii) sixty percent (60%) of the “as is” value of the Property (the “Appraised Value”), pursuant to the Appraisal (hereinafter defined). The Loan shall be evidenced by a Deed of Trust Note of even date herewith made by the Borrower payable to the order of Lender (the “Note”).

 

1.2          Purpose. At closing on the Loan, an amount equal to the Maximum Loan Amount will be advanced toward, among other purposes, the refinance and closing costs incurred by the Borrower with respect to the Property and to pay the amount required in order to redeem the interests in the Borrower held by EB-5 Capital-Jobs Fund 8, L.P. (“EB-5”).

 

1.3          Term; Conversion to Amortizing Loan. The Loan shall initially be an interest only loan for the period ending forty-eight (48) months after the date hereof (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, the Loan shall convert to an amortizing loan, with monthly payments of principal and interest due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Note and with a maturity of one hundred twenty (120) months after the date hereof.

 

1.4          Guaranty. MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Guarantor” or “MRP”), shall execute a carve-out guaranty (the “Carve-Out Guaranty”) acceptable to the Lender.

 

 
 

1.5          Fees. Any unpaid balance of the $450,000.00 loan fee shall be due and payable to the Lender upon closing of the Loan.

 

1.6          Collateral. The Loan shall be secured by, among other things, the following:

 

a.            A first lien deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing of even date herewith (the “Deed of Trust”), granting a lien on the Property, together with the improvements thereon (the “Improvements”);

 

b.            An assignment of all leases, rents and profits covering the Property (the “Assignment of Leases”);

 

c.            An Environmental Indemnity Agreement from Borrower and Guarantor with respect to the Property (the “Indemnity”);

 

d.            An assignment of management contract with respect to the management of the Property, together with a consent and subordination of management agreement by the Property manager (collectively, the “Management Agreement Assignment”); and

 

e.            A Control Account Agreement and Assignment (the “Account Assignment”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, providing for payment of Excess Revenues (hereinafter defined) into a control account established and maintained with the Lender (together with any replacements thereof and substitutions therefor, the “Control Account”), which Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender within five (5) days after written notice from Lender that Borrower has not met the Debt Yield Requirements (hereinafter defined);

 

1.7          Debt Yield Requirement. Commencing on the date hereof and continuing thereafter until the Loan is fully repaid, Borrower shall maintain a debt yield of at least seven and one-half percent (7.5%) (the “Debt Yield Requirement”) tested quarterly, based upon the net operating income (to include projected, contracted rental payments from executed Approved Leases (hereinafter defined) pursuant to which the applicable tenant commences paying full rent during the calculation period, but excluding Lease Termination Fees (i.e., any termination fees payable by any tenants pursuant to a termination right contained in a tenant’s lease) and rents from tenants which have exercised a lease termination right) of the Borrower divided by the then outstanding indebtedness under the Loan times 100. The net operating income will be calculated by the Lender based upon annualized financial statements covering the prior six (6) consecutive months of operations, which shall be delivered to the Lender monthly within 20 days following the close of the prior month’s accounting period.  If the Debt Yield Requirement for the Property is not satisfied as of the last day of any six-month period, Borrower shall execute and deliver the Account Assignment to Lender within five (5) days after written notice to Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Debt Yield Escrow Notice”) and shall deposit, or shall cause its property manager to deposit on the last business day of each calendar month thereafter, all Excess Revenues (hereinafter defined) from the Property into the Control Account and shall submit to Lender a budget setting forth in reasonable detail budgeted monthly operating income and monthly operating and capital expenses for the Property, which budget shall be subject to the Lender’s approval in its reasonable discretion (the “Operating Budget”). If the Debt Yield Requirement is thereafter satisfied for three (3) consecutive calendar months, provided that no default then exists, nor any event or omission which with the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a default,

 
 

Excess Revenues will no longer be required to be deposited therein (unless and until the Debt Yield Requirement again fails to be satisfied and a subsequent Debt Yield Escrow Notice is given to Borrower) and any Excess Revenues then held by Lender will be released to Borrower.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section may be referred to as the “Excess Revenue Escrow Requirements” and any period during which the Borrower is required to escrow Excess Revenues pursuant to this Section may be referred to as a “Debt Yield Escrow Period”. Lender shall have the right to withdraw and apply funds from the Control Account to pay amounts due and payable under the Loan to Lender as and when such amounts are due pursuant to the Loan Documents. “Excess Revenues” shall be defined as gross income from the Property, less debt service on the Loan and less budgeted operating and capital expenses (other than any construction costs and costs of leasing space to commercial tenants [including without limitation leasing commissions, legal fees and tenant inducements]) pursuant to an Operating Budget approved by the Lender, plus, to the extent in excess of the approved Operating Budget, (i) the actual costs of taxes and utilities and (ii) other actual operating expenses, in excess of the approved Operating Budget, that are approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender agrees to permit disbursement of amounts on deposit in the Control Account from time to time for payment of unforeseen expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of the Property, including capital expenditures, as approved by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

1.8          Subordination of Management and Development Fees. Any and all management and/or development or other fees payable by Borrower to any Affiliate (hereinafter defined) of Borrower (collectively, “Affiliate Fees”) are and shall be subordinated to the Loan, such that after Borrower has received written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and until cured, if cured and if Lender accepts the cure, Borrower shall not make, nor shall any Affiliate accept, any Affiliate Fees. In addition, no Affiliate Fees shall be paid more than thirty (30) days in advance without the prior written consent of the Lender.

 

1.9          Riverfront Owners Association. Reference is made to that certain Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Rights, Affirmative Obligations and Conditions dated August 7, 2014 (the “Riverfront Declaration”), which was recorded among the Land Records of the District of Columbia as Instrument No. 2014072400. For purposes of this Section 1.9, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section have the same meanings as ascribed to them in the Riverfront Declaration. Borrower shall provide Lender with (i) notice of the Association Effective Date within thirty (30) days after that date shall have occurred, (ii) a copy of the Association Insurance Policy or a certificate thereof and evidence that Borrower and Lender are named thereon as additional insureds, (iii) evidence that each Owner other than Borrower has named Borrower and Lender as additional insureds on such Owner’s liability insurance covering insurable liabilities arising out of the use of Common Areas located on the Property, (iv) evidence that Borrower has named each other Owner as an additional insured on Borrower’s liability insurance covering insurable liabilities arising out of the use of Common Areas located on each such other Owner’s Parcel, and (v) evidence that each policy of insurance contains waivers of subrogation as required pursuant to the bylaws included in the Riverfront Declaration.

(a)          Until such time as the Loan is fully repaid, there shall be no Transfer (hereinafter defined) of any interest in, nor any change in the Control (hereinafter defined) or management of Borrower, any constituent managing or controlling entity of Borrower, or of Guarantor or any constituent managing or controlling entity of Guarantor, without Lender’s prior

 
 

written consent in each case, other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer. “Transfer” means any assignment, pledge, conveyance, sale, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, grant of a security interest or other disposition, either directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise. “Control” means the ownership, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership interests of an entity and the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise. “Controlling” shall have the respective correlative meaning thereto.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the provisions of Section 5.15(c) below, the following Transfers of interests in Borrower shall be permitted without the prior consent of the Lender but with prior notice to the Lender (collectively, the “Permitted Transfers”):

 

(i)Any direct or indirect Transfers in Florida Rock Properties, Inc. (“FRP Inc.”);

 

(ii)Any Transfer of direct or indirect interests in Borrower to any of the direct or indirect owners of Borrower as of the date hereof (or any Affiliate of any such owners);

 

(iii)Any Transfers of interests in MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC (“MRP”) or any constituent entity of MRP (together with MRP, the “MRP Entities”), including Transfers of interests for estate planning purposes, so long as following such Transfer Robert Murphy, Fred Rothmeijer, Ryan Wade and/or J. Richard Saas (the “MRP Key Members”) directly or indirectly Control the MRP Entities.

 

(c)          Lender’s agreement that its prior written consent will not be required for the foregoing described Permitted Transfers is expressly subject to the following conditions: (i) any direct or indirect Transfers of interests in FRP Inc. or in Borrower shall not result in FRP Inc. owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower of less than ten percent (10%); (ii) if the Transfer would result in the MRP Entities no longer being the Administrative Manager of Riverfront Investment Partners I LLC or would result in the MRP Key Members owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower of less than ten (10%) percent, then a replacement guarantor must be provided consistent with the terms of Paragraph 28 of the Guaranty, and (iii) if the Transfer transaction would result in a change of the property manager of the Property, any successor property manager must be in compliance with Section 5.18 and Exhibit E of this Agreement.

 

5.16       Lease Termination. Borrower shall notify Lender within two (2) business days of learning that any commercial tenant of the Property is exercising a termination right under its lease. In the event that a Debt Yield Escrow Period is then in effect or if the lease termination would result in a failure to meet the Debt Yield Requirements, any and all penalties, payments, fees or other charges or consideration payable as a result of any such lease termination (“Lease Termination Funds”) shall be deposited immediately upon receipt into the Control Account maintained with Lender and pledged as additional collateral for the Loan, with all such Lease Termination Funds to be treated as Excess Revenues for purposes of this Agreement.

 

 
 

5.17       Deposits In Connection With Casualty or Condemnation. In the event following a casualty or condemnation affecting the Property, the Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that there are not sufficient funds available from insurance proceeds or a condemnation award to restore the Property to its condition prior to the casualty or condemnation, then in addition to any other terms and conditions for application of proceeds to restoration as set forth in the Deed of Trust, the Borrower must post any such Proceeds Deficiency (as hereinafter defined) with the Lender before any insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds may be released to restore the Property. “Proceeds Deficiency” shall mean the difference, as determined by the Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion, between the insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds available to restore the Property and the projected cost to restore the Property.

 

5.18       Property Management. In the event that following closing Borrower intends to terminate Kettler Management, Inc. and wishes to enter into a property management agreement or asset management agreement governing the Property with another management company, such agreement must be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion in advance of Borrower entering into such agreement and the Borrower and manager must execute a collateral assignment of management agreement and subordination agreement with respect to such management agreement on the same form as the Management Agreement Assignment or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Lender. Lender hereby approves the property managers listed on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference.

 

5.19       Approval of Leases. All leases executed after the date hereof shall be subject to the Lender’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to obtain approval of any residential lease which is on a form preapproved by the Lender. All leases which have been approved by Lender or for which approval is not required pursuant to this Section 5.19 shall be referred to as “Approved Leases” and each an “Approved Lease”. All leases of the Property executed after the date of this Agreement shall be subordinated to Lender's lien on the Property, and tenants and subtenants of the Property under commercial leases and subleases executed after the date of the Agreement shall be required to enter into lease subordination and attornment agreements in commercially reasonable form with Lender unless the applicable lease contains all terms Lender would require in any such lease subordination and attornment agreement. Lender shall be furnished with a copy of each commercial lease promptly upon execution of each such lease. Approved Leases executed after the date of this Agreement which include a tenant subordination and attornment provision in favor of the Lender in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender may also include a non-disturbance provision provided that such provision is also in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender.

k.            Excess Revenues Escrow Requirements. The Borrower’s failure to comply with the terms of a Debt Yield Escrow Notice within five (5) days after such notice is given to Borrower; provided, however, if such notice is the first Debt Yield Escrow Notice given pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall have a grace period of an additional five (5) days within which to comply with the Debt Yield Escrow Notice;

 

l.              Change in Management/Control. A breach of the provisions of Section 5.15 hereof; provided, however, any such breach which constitutes a breach of Section 28 of the Guaranty shall also be subject to any applicable cure available under Section 28 of the Guaranty;

6.3       Borrower to Pay Fees and Charges. Borrower shall pay all fees and charges incurred in the procuring, making and enforcement of the Loan, including without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of Lender's attorneys, charges for appraisals, fees and expenses relating to examination of title, title insurance premiums, surveys, and mortgage recording, documentary, transfer or other similar taxes and revenue stamps, loan extension fees, if any, provided in no event will Borrower be responsible for appraisals or attorney’s fees outside of the origination and initial closing of the Loan, except following the occurrence of an Event of Default and until cured, if cured and if Lender accepts the cure.

This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrower and their respective successors, assigns, personal representatives, executors and administrators, provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement.

 

Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and each of its successors and assigns, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to such person pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and Lender and each of Lender’s successors and assigns shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.5       Survival.

7.6       Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without reference to conflicts of law principles.

 

7.7       Expenses.

7.8       Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

7.9       Participations. Provided that Lender remains primarily liable to fund all Loan Disbursements described herein in accordance with the terms hereof (except that Lender will not be so liable if it sells 100% of its rights under the Loan Documents), Lender shall have the right, at no cost, expense or liability to Borrower (except for Borrower’s obligations to deliver financial information which shall not be at Lender’s cost or expense, and in no event shall Lender be obligated to pay any attorneys’ fees incurred by Borrower), to sell all or any part of its rights under the Loan Documents, and Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any prospective participant in the Loan any and all financial and other information in Lender's possession concerning Borrower or the Collateral. If Lender sells a participation interest, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”).

7.12       Waiver. The rights of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, shall be effective unless in writing, and no waiver shall extend beyond the particular purpose involved. No waiver in any one case shall require Lender to give any subsequent waivers.

 

7.13       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document shall be construed as if the void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision were not included in this Agreement or in such Loan Document.

 

7.14       No Setoffs. With respect to a monetary default claimed by Lender under the Loan Documents, no setoff, claim, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or defense of any kind or nature that Borrower has or may have against Lender (other than the defenses of payment or Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be available against Lender in any action, suit or proceeding brought by Lender to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing shall not be construed as a waiver by Borrower of

 
 

any such rights or claims against Lender, but any recovery upon any such rights or claims shall be had from Lender separately, it being the intent of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that Borrower shall be obligated to pay, absolutely and unconditionally, all amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

7.15       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed for the convenience of the parties in several counterparts, which are in all respects similar and each of which is to be deemed to complete in and of itself, and any one of which may be introduced in evidence or used for any other purpose without the production of the other counterparts thereof.

 

7.16       Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably submits to jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Documents. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such court shall be conclusive and binding and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected as provided herein or as otherwise permitted by applicable laws.

 

7.17       Appointment of Maryland agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Richard Saas, Esq., Tenenbaum & Saas, P.C., 4504 Walsh Street, Suite 200
Chevy Chase, MD 20815, as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf service of any and all process that may be served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with the Loan in any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland. If such agent shall cease so to act, the Borrower shall irrevocably designate and appoint without delay another such agent in the State of Maryland satisfactory to the Lender and shall promptly deliver to the Lender evidence in writing of such agent’s acceptance of such appointment and its agreement that such appointment shall be irrevocable. The Borrower further agrees to keep the aforesaid agent apprised at all times of the Borrower’s current address and agrees to promptly pay any and all fees charged by the aforesaid agent or any other entity or person appointed authorized agent hereunder.

 

 
 

7.18       Service of Process. The Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding instituted in the State of Maryland in connection with the Loan by (i) the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower at the address set forth in the notice section of this Agreement and (ii) serving a copy thereof upon the applicable agent, hereinabove designated and appointed by the Borrower as the Borrower’s agent for service of process. The Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed to be service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law and nothing in this Agreement will limit the right of the Lender otherwise to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

 

7.19        Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no person or entity owning directly or indirectly any legal or beneficial ownership in the Borrower, nor any direct or indirect partner, member, officer, director, shareholder, manager, employee, advisor, agent, consultant, fiduciary, investor, trustee, personal representative or affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any personal liability under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth in the Carve-Out Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.
