8.6Changes to Method of Accounting.  Borrower will not make any material change in its methods of accounting for purposes of the reporting requirements of this Agreement, except as may be mandated by sound accounting principles.

8.7Sale‑Leaseback Transactions.  Borrower will not make or permit the occurrence of any sale, transfer or disposition of any of the Mortgaged Property followed by Borrower’s leasing or rental of such property, or any portion thereof, as lessee.

8.8Construction Issues.  Borrower shall not (i) incur or suffer to exist any delays in completion of the Construction Project, (ii) agree to any change order which would increase the Project Cost by $20,000.00 or more, or any change order(s) which, in the aggregate, would increase the Project Cost by $100,000.00 or more without the prior written approval of Lender, or (iii) make any changes in the Construction Project to achieve cost savings without the prior written approval of Lender.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender and Lender’s Construction Consultant within five (5) business days after any

Exhibit 10.4

 

change orders are made, a copy of such change order and an associated update of the Construction Budget which have been approved by the Architect and the Contractor.

8.9Modification of Limited Liability Company Documents.  Borrower shall not participate in, suffer or permit the amendment, modification, restatement, cancellation or termination of any organizational document now or hereafter evidencing or relating to Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender in each case.

8.10Transfer of Property.  Until all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender is paid in full, Borrower shall not sell, transfer or convey all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, except Borrower’s leasing or rental of such property in the ordinary course of business, and Borrower shall not permit any change in the ownership of Borrower.

8.11Funded Debt Limitation.  Borrower shall not incur funded outside debt (except for the Loan provided under this Agreement and the Consolidated Note) in excess of $1,500,000.00 without the prior written approval of Lender.

8.12Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.  The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (defined below) of the Guarantor shall not be less than 1.2:1.00 on a quarterly basis. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated by Lender on a quarterly basis based on the Guarantor’s quarterly financial statements delivered pursuant to paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement as set forth below.

(a)Calculation.  The term “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means actual Net Operating Income plus interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense for the most recent four (4) calendar quarters, divided by Debt Service Requirements plus rent expense.

(b)Debt Service Requirements. The term “Debt Service Requirements” shall mean principal and interest payments due and owing for the prior calendar quarter multiplied by four (4), based upon, (i) all debt of Guarantor payable to Lender and any other non-subordinated debt, excluding balloon payments, if any, due to Lender, and (ii) the then applicable interest rate(s) on such debt.

(c)Net Operating Income.  The term “Net Operating Income” means all revenues collected from the operations of Guarantor (excluding non-recurring income, as determined by Lender) less expenses.

(d)Curative Action.  In the event the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any calendar quarter should be less than 1.20 to 1.00, then, within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall pay the Curative Amount such that a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 or more is created based on (A) the actual Net Operating Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and (B) the

 

25


Exhibit 10.4

 

hypothetical Debt Service Requirement for the then current calendar quarter which would result from a reamortization of such reduced outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

Irrespective of any hypothetical Debt Service Requirement utilized to calculate the curative amount, the actual amount of the required payments shall continue to be as provided in the Note.  

9.ADMINISTRATION OF LOAN.  Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement seemingly to the contrary, Borrower shall not be entitled to any disbursement of Loan proceeds hereunder unless and until Borrower has satisfied all of the conditions of lending set forth in paragraph 5 of this Agreement. Upon satisfaction of such conditions of lending to the satisfaction of Lender, Lender will make Loan disbursements up to the respective maximum principal amounts of the Loans provided that, with respect to each Construction Project, (i) Lender’s Construction Consultant shall have completed periodic inspection(s) of the Construction Project and shall have advised Lender in writing that work to date on the Construction Project is satisfactory, (ii) there is no uncured Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, and (iii) all of the other requirements set forth in this Loan Agreement for advancement of loan proceeds are satisfied.

Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall make disbursements under the Loan in the following manner:

9.1Purpose.  The principal sum to be disbursed under the Note shall be used for the purposes set forth in paragraph 2.1 of this Agreement.  

9.2Initial Borrower Funding; Compliance with Project Budget.  All Loan advances under the Note shall be made in accordance with the Agreement and in amounts set forth in the Project Budget.  Material deviations from the Project Budget must be approved in advance in writing by Lender.  Borrower shall initially pay with its own funds all “costs of completion” (defined below) for each Construction Project until Lender determines that the remaining cost of completion of each of the Construction Projects, after accounting for all completed work and costs of completion then paid by Borrower to date, is less than available maximum amount of the respective Loan for such Construction Project.  Further, if and to the extent Lender subsequently determines at any time, in its sole judgment, that the cost of completion of the Construction Projects will exceed the Project Cost set forth in the Project Budget, then at the request of Lender, Borrower shall explain to Lender how the overage will be paid and will immediately deposit such funds into the Construction Account.  Any such deposit so required shall be made prior to any additional advance of Loan proceeds.  As used in this Agreement, the term “cost of completion” shall be deemed to include, without limitation the following:  the costs of labor and materials, site and off-site improvements, amounts paid to contractors, landscaping costs, professional fees, premiums for bonds, insurance and title insurance, title examination costs and fees, appraisal fees, recording costs, interest on the Note, all amounts reimbursable to Lender for expenses incurred hereunder and the cost of all other items necessary for the proper completion of the Construction Projects.

 

26


Exhibit 10.4

 

9.3Request for Funds.  Loan advances will be made no more frequently than one (1) time per month. Each Loan advance request (“Request for Funds”) (i) shall be submitted in writing on the latest version of the AIA G702 and G703 forms, separately submitted for each Construction Project, (ii) shall be properly completed and signed by Borrower, the Contractor and the Architect, (iii) shall be delivered to Lender and the Construction Consultant at least five (5) days before the requested date of disbursement; (iv) is subject to the prior approval of the Construction Consultant and the Lender; and (v) shall be supported by copies of invoices for all work and materials covered thereby. Unless Lender wishes to inspect the Construction Project as set forth in paragraph 9.5, each Request for Funds shall be approved and funded or declined by Lender within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Lender. All approved Loan advances will be deposited into the Construction Account by Lender. Borrower shall under no circumstances be entitled to Loan advances that individually or cumulatively exceed the Project Costs completed as of the date of the request per the Project Budget.  Borrower shall submit its last Request for Funds no later than fifteen (15) days before the Completion Deadline. In no event shall Lender be obligated to make any Loan advances after the Completion Deadline.  

9.4Additional Information.  Upon request by Lender, each Request for Funds shall be accompanied by:

9.4.1update of the Project Budget showing comparisons of the costs incurred to date for completed work and the projected remaining costs of completing the Construction Projects; and

9.4.2proof, satisfactory to Lender, that all invoices for labor and materials have been paid, except those contained in the current Request for Funds covering “hard costs;” and

9.4.3lien waivers from all architects, professional engineers, landscape architects, land surveyors, contractors, mechanics, materialmen, landscapers and laborers; and

9.4.4title information, in the form of an endorsement to the loan policies of title insurance held by Lender, which increases the amount of coverage and which confirms the first lien priority of the Mortgage, without additional matters affecting title to the Mortgaged Property.

All of the above information shall be obtained and submitted to Lender at Borrower’s expense.

9.5Lender’s Inspection.  If, for any reason, Lender deems it necessary to cause the Construction Project to be examined by the Construction Consultant or any other representative of Lender prior to making any advance, it shall have a reasonable time [not exceeding ten (10) Business Days] within which to do so, at Borrower’s cost, and Lender shall not be required to make any Loan advance until such examination has been made. Regardless of inspections by the Construction Consultant or any other

 

27


Exhibit 10.4

 

representative of Lender, Lender shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability to Borrower or any other individual or entity based on, arising from or relating to any such inspections, and Borrower shall at all times have exclusive control over work on the Construction Project and sole responsibility for compliance with all governmental, quasi-governmental and private laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, covenants, restrictions, easements and other matters which control, burden, apply to or otherwise affect either part of the Mortgaged Property and/or the Construction Project.

9.6Disbursements.  Advances under the Note may, at the option of Lender, be recorded on the Note and/or by deposits to the Construction Account, and Lender shall record each advance for the account of either the Building 4 Loan or the Parking Garage Loan.  Such records shall be conclusive evidence of all advances made under the Note and the respective Loans for which such advances were disbursed.  Borrower shall prepare and deliver payment from the Construction Account to the Contractor or such other appropriate subcontractors or vendors as set forth in the Request for Funds. Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that only checks for payment of approved costs of the Construction Project and costs incidental thereto and approved by Lender in the Project Budget may be drawn against the Construction Account.  

9.7Termination of Advances.  At the option of Lender, Loan advances shall not be made under the Note unless (i) this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are in full force and effect, and (ii) an Event of Default does not exist under the terms of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

9.8Conditions for Benefit of Lender; No Liability to Third Parties.  Any and all conditions within this Agreement to the obligations of Lender to advance the proceeds of the Loan to Borrower are imposed solely and exclusively for Lender benefit.  No other person shall have any standing to require that such conditions be satisfied nor be entitled to draw any conclusions or assumptions therefrom.  Such conditions may be waived, in whole or in part, by Lender at any time, in Lender’s sole discretion, and Lender shall be under no obligation to require strict compliance therewith.  Lender shall not be liable or responsible to any person other than Borrower for the disbursement of or failure to disburse the Loan proceeds.  Neither the Contractor nor the Architect, any subcontractor, materialman or supplier on the Construction Project shall have any right or claim against Lender under this Loan Agreement or the administration thereof.

10.EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  If any of the following events (herein so called “Events of Default”) shall occur and be continuing for any reason whatsoever (and whether such occurrence shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be affected by operation of law or otherwise), then, and in every such event, Lender may accelerate or otherwise declare the principal of and interest on all Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower:

10.1Nonpayment of Note.  Default in payment when due of any interest on or principal or any other sum payable under the Note, or any amendment, modification

 

28


Exhibit 10.4

 

or restatement thereof; provided however, prior to declaring default under this paragraph 10.1, Lender shall give Borrower five (5) days’ prior written notice of the payment default, unless two (2) payment default notices have been provided by Lender to Borrower during the previous twelve (12) months, in which event no prior notice election to declare a default is necessary.

10.2Breach of Covenants.  Default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any other instrument delivered to Lender in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the falsity or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, and such default or breach shall not have been cured or remedied within twenty (20) days following receipt by Borrower of written notice thereof from Lender, unless such cure or remedy cannot reasonably be completed within the applicable 20-day cure period described above, in which event Borrower shall commence such cure or remedy within the applicable 20-day cure period described above and proceed with all diligence to complete such cure or remedy (provided that such grace periods shall not be deemed applicable either to the payment provisions of this Agreement or the default provisions of subsection (a) above) in any event within sixty (60) days from the initial receipt of written notice from Lender.

10.3Default Under Funded Debt Limitations or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.  Any failure of Borrower to comply with the funded debt limitations set forth in paragraph 8.11 of this Agreement or with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio described in paragraph 8.12 of this Agreement, and such default goes uncured after receipt of the notice from Lender in paragraph 8.12.

10.4Bankruptcy.  The institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings by or against Borrower or Guarantor.

10.5Governmental Requirements.  The issuance of any order, decree or judgment pursuant to any judicial or administrative proceeding declaring that all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any agency, department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality of the municipality or county in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

10.8Interest After Default.  All past due obligations or indebtedness of Borrower to Lender hereunder, whether principal, costs or expenses, shall bear interest at a variable rate equal from day to day to the Default Rate as defined in the Note.

11.REMEDIES.  If any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, without any period of grace (except as otherwise provided herein), proceed to protect and enforce all or any of the rights with respect thereto contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or may proceed to enforce payment of all indebtedness due hereunder or enforce any other legal or equitable rights or exercise any other legal or equitable remedies, or cure or remedy any default by Borrower for the purpose of preserving the Mortgaged Property.  All rights, remedies and powers conferred upon Lender shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or powers available.  No delay in exercising or failure to exercise any right, remedy or power shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Any such right, remedy or power may by exercised from time to time, independently or concurrently, and as often as shall be deemed expedient.  No waiver of any Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default.  No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power shall preclude other or further exercise thereof.  Borrower covenants that if an Event of Default shall happen and be continuing it will pay all court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by Lender in collecting the amounts due pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, any other Loan Document or any other document evidencing or securing the Loan or otherwise executed in connection herewith, including attorneys’ fees, together with interest on all amounts so expended from the respective dates of each expenditure at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note).

(a)all claims, demands and causes of action asserted against any Indemnitee by any person or entity (“Person”) if the claim, demand or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to (i) a claim, demand or cause of action that the Person has or asserts against the Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property, except those arising out of the acts or omissions of Lender; (ii) the payment of any commission, charge or brokerage fee incurred in connection with any of the Loan Documents; (iii) any act or omission by the Borrower, any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier, or other Person (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents, servants and employees) with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (iv) the ownership, occupancy or use of the Mortgaged Property; and

(b)all liabilities, losses and other costs (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of any claim, demand or cause of action described in subparagraph (a).

Indemnitees’ rights hereunder shall not be directly or indirectly limited, prejudiced, impaired or eliminated in any way by any finding or allegation that Lender’s conduct is active, passive or subject to any other classification or that such Indemnitee is directly or indirectly responsible under any theory of any kind for any act or omission by the Borrower or any other Person other than Lender, its agents, servants or employees.  BORROWER

12.18Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which executed counterparts shall together constitute a single document.  Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Agreement to physically form one document.
