PART I

 

Item 1.  Business

 

General

 

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. is a real estate investment trust or REIT which was formed in March of 2003 to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate, primarily multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties. As of December 31, 2004, we owned a portfolio of 111 properties located in 28 states.  At December 31, 2004, the portfolio consisted of 87 multi-tenant shopping centers and 24 free-standing single-user net lease properties containing an aggregate of approximately 20,231,000 square feet of gross leasable area or GLA, of which approximately 97% of GLA was leased.  Our anchor tenants include nationally and regionally recognized financial companies, grocers, and tenants who provide basic household goods and services.  Of our total annualized portfolio revenue, approximately 48% is generated by anchor or credit tenants, including American Express, Zurich American Insurance Company, Best Buy, Ross Dress for Less, Bed Bath and Beyond, GMAC, Wal-Mart, Publix Supermarkets, and several others.  The term “credit tenant” is subjective and we apply the term to tenants who we believe have a substantial net worth.

 

During 2004, we invested approximately $3.2 billion for the acquisition of 82 multi-tenant shopping centers and 21 single-user net lease properties containing a total gross leasable area of approximately 19,434,000 square feet. See Item 2 for a more detailed description of these properties.  We also raised $2 billion in investor proceeds and obtained $1.7 billion in financing proceeds.

 

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., or the business manager/advisor, an affiliate of ours, serves as our business manager/advisor.  On September 15, 2003, we commenced an initial public offering or initial offering of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock or shares at $10 each and the issuance of 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 each, which may be distributed pursuant to our distribution reinvestment program or DRP.

 

As of December 31, 2004, subscriptions for a total of 214,388,875 shares had been received from the public, which includes 20,000 shares issued to our business manager/advisor.  In addition, we sold 3,079,003 shares pursuant to the DRP and repurchased 10,350 shares pursuant to the share repurchase program or SRP as of December 31, 2004.  As a result of all sales, we received a total of $2,171,854,780 of gross offering proceeds, net of shares repurchased as of December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, we have incurred organizational and offering costs totaling $234,014,231 for the sales of these shares.

 

On December 28, 2004, our second offering or second offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 each and the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 each, which may be distributed pursuant to our DRP.  We began sales of the second offering in January 2005.

 

Acquisition Strategies

 

We intend to continue to acquire and manage a diversified (by geographical location and by type and size of shopping centers) portfolio of real estate primarily improved for use as retail establishments, principally multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user net lease properties.  The retail centers we have acquired are located in states both east and west of the Mississippi River in the United States.  Our portfolio will continue to consist of predominantly grocery and discount anchored shopping centers and single-user net lease properties.  We will continue to acquire real estate improved with other commercial facilities which provide goods and services as well as double or triple net leased properties, which are either commercial or retail, including properties acquired in sale and leaseback transactions. A triple-net leased property is one which is leased to a tenant who is responsible for the base rent and all costs and expenses associated with their occupancy including property taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance.

 

Our goal is to purchase properties principally west of the Mississippi River and evaluate potential acquisition opportunities of properties east of the Mississippi River on a property by property basis taking into consideration investment objectives and available funds. During 2004, we purchased 103 properties, of which 48 were located west of the Mississippi River and 55 were located east of the Mississippi River.  Our strategy in purchasing the properties east of the Mississippi River was to deploy stockholders’ funds promptly and generate income as early as possible. We are unable

 

3



 

to determine the ultimate geographic location of our portfolio of properties at this stage of our capital raise and acquisition of properties.

 

When acquiring a property, to ascertain the value of an investment property, we take into consideration many factors which require difficult, subjective, or complex judgments to be made.  These judgments require us to make assumptions when valuing each investment property.  Such assumptions include projecting vacancy rates, rental rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt financing rates, among other assumptions.  The capitalization rate is also a significant driving factor in determining the property valuation which requires judgment of factors such as market knowledge, historical experience, length of leases, tenant financial strength, economy, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age, and physical condition, and investor return requirements, among others.  Furthermore, at the acquisition date, we require that every property acquired is supported by an independent appraisal.  All of the aforementioned factors are taken as a whole in determining the valuation.

 

Key elements of our acquisition strategy include:

 

                  Selectively acquiring diversified and well-located properties of the type described above.

 

                  Acquiring properties, in most cases, on an all-cash basis to provide us with a competitive advantage over potential purchasers who must secure financing. We may, however, acquire properties subject to existing indebtedness if we believe this is in our best interest.  We intend to obtain mortgage financing concurrently or subsequent to the purchase.

 

                  Diversifying geographically within the principal geographical area of interest by acquiring properties primarily located in major consolidated metropolitan statistical areas, in order to minimize the potential adverse impact of economic downturns in certain markets.

 

Business and Operating Strategies

 

Because we continue to raise capital through public offerings, management continues to focus on acquiring properties that meet our investment objectives. However, because we have purchased 111 properties as of December 31, 2004, we are also focusing towards enhancing the value of our properties.  We are now in the process of identifying those properties which will benefit from redevelopment, including additions to existing space through planning techniques, working with tenants to extend leases while they improve their stores and developing available land which we own.

 

We seek to provide an attractive return to our stockholders by taking advantage of our strong presence in many markets. We are able to accommodate the growth needs of tenants who are interested in working with one landlord in multiple locations. Because of our focused acquisition strategy, we possess large amounts of retail space in certain markets, thus allowing us to lease and re-lease space at favorable rental rates. Working with our property management companies, we

focus on the needs and problems facing our tenants, so we can provide solutions whenever possible. Because of our size, we enjoy the benefits of purchasing goods and services in large quantities, thus creating cost savings and improving efficiency. The result of these activities, we believe, will lead to profitability and growth as we go forward.

 

Because we own over 20 million square feet of real estate property and continue to grow, day-to-day property management is a key element of our operating strategy. Our asset management philosophy includes working closely with our property managers to achieve the following goals:

 

                  Employ experienced, well trained property managers, leasing agents and collection personnel;

 

                  Actively manage costs and minimize operating expenses by centralizing management, leasing, marketing, financing, accounting, renovation and data processing activities;

 

                  Improve rental income and cash flow by aggressively marketing rentable space;

 

                  Emphasize regular maintenance and periodic renovation to meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term returns;

 

4



 

                  Maintain a diversified tenant base at our retail centers, consisting primarily of retail tenants providing basic consumer goods and services; and

 

                  Identify properties that will benefit from asset enhancement including renovation and development of land that we own.

 

Financing Strategy

 

Generally, we have and will continue to acquire properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price of each property in cash. However, if it is determined to be in our best interest, we will, in most instances, incur indebtedness to acquire properties. With respect to properties purchased on an all-cash basis, we have and will continue to incur mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected properties if favorable financing terms are available.  The proceeds from such loans would be used to acquire additional properties.  We may also incur indebtedness to finance improvements to our properties. We anticipate that, in general, aggregate financings secured by all of our properties will not exceed 55% of their combined fair market value.  Our articles of incorporation provide that the aggregate amount of borrowing, in relation to our net assets, shall not, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate, exceed 300% of net assets. We employ financing strategies to take advantage of trends we anticipate with regard to interest rates. One such strategy is to use variable rate financing with the option to fix the rate at a later date. Our intention is to use variable rate financing on a small portion of our portfolio, resulting in a ratio of less than 20% of total debt.

 

During 2004, we worked with three financial institutions to obtain a $100 million unsecured line of credit. This line of credit gives us great flexibility in fulfilling our acquisition strategy, funding our development activities and maintaining overall liquidity to meet operating requirements, should the need arise.

 

Tax Status

 

We qualified and have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust or REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or the Code for the tax year ending December 31, 2004.  Since we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to shareholders.   If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.  Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to Federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

 

Competition

 

We continue to see intense competition for the types of properties in which we invest. In seeking new investment opportunities, we compete with other real estate investors, including pension funds, insurance companies, foreign investors, real estate partnerships, other real estate investment trusts, private individuals and other domestic real estate companies, some of which have greater financial resources than we do.  With respect to properties presently owned or to be owned by us, we compete with other owners of like properties for tenants.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete with such entities in developing, acquiring, and leasing activities in the future.

 

Our business is inherently competitive. Property owners, including us, compete on the basis of location, visibility, quality and aesthetic value of construction, volume of traffic, strength and name recognition of tenants and other factors. These factors combine to determine the level of occupancy and rental rates that we are able to achieve at our properties. Further, our tenants compete with other forms of retailing, including e-commerce, catalog companies and direct consumer sales.  We may, at times, compete with newer properties or those in more desirable locations. To remain competitive, we evaluate all of the factors affecting our centers and position them accordingly. For example, we may decide to focus on renting space to specific retailers who will complement our existing tenants and increase traffic. We believe we have achieved relatively high occupancy levels at our properties through our knowledge of the competitive factors in the

markets where we operate.

Business Risks

 

The retail sector has remained relatively stable as a result of sustained consumer spending, which has helped maintain retail sales growth despite the national economic position, potential terrorist threats and the Iraqi war.  A modest pace of new retail construction, and the expansion strategy of some retailers, who are renting more space to maintain market share and revenue growth and offset declining same store sales has also contributed to the stability.

 

While sustained consumer spending, spurred by low interest rates, has helped to maintain retail sales growth, changing demographics and consumer preferences have resulted in a fundamental shift in consumer spending patterns and the emergence of discount retail as a dominant category.  As a result of this trend, some conventional department stores are struggling and a number of local, regional and national retailers have been forced to voluntarily close their stores or file for bankruptcy protection. None of these conventional retailers are tenants in properties we currently own. Some bankrupt retailers have reorganized their operations and/or sold stores to stronger operators.  In some instances, bankruptcies and store closings may create opportunities to lease space at higher rents to tenants with better sales performance. Therefore, we do not expect store closings or bankruptcy reorganizations to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or the results of our operations.

 

We believe our risk exposure to potential future downturns in the economy is mitigated because the tenants at our current and targeted properties, to a large extent, consist or will consist of: 1) retailers who serve primary non-discretionary shopping needs, such as grocers and pharmacies; 2) discount chains that can compete effectively during an economic downturn; and 3) national tenants with strong credit ratings who can withstand a downturn. We believe that the diversification of our current and targeted tenant base and our focus on creditworthy tenants further reduces our risk exposure.

 

Revenue from the properties depends on the amount of the tenants’ retail revenue, making us vulnerable to general economic downturns and other conditions affecting the retail industry.  Some of the leases provide for base rent plus contractual base rent increases.  A number of the leases also include a percentage rent clause for additional rent above the base amount based upon a specified percentage of the sales the tenant generates.  As of December 31, 2004, 19 tenant leases paid percentage rent.  Under those leases which contain percentage rent clauses, the revenue from tenants may increase as the sales of the tenant increases.

 

We continually monitor the financial condition of our tenants both at the corporate and property levels.  We currently own properties which have Toys R Us, Pier 1 Imports and Bally Total Fitness as tenants. These tenants have experienced recent financial losses.  Our rental revenue from these tenants’ stores represented approximately 2.2% of the portfolio’s rental revenue in 2004 and 1.8% of the portfolio’s annualized base rental income as of February 28, 2005.

 

In some cases, if one of these tenants vacates their space due to the inability to meet its financial obligations, the opportunity exists for us to re-let the space at a significantly higher rent.

 

All real property investments are subject to some degree of risk.  We are subject to risks existing due to a concentration of any single tenant within the portfolio.  Currently, the largest tenant is American Express, which has seven leases which represent approximately 2,201,000 square feet, or approximately 9.8% of the total gross leasable area owned by us as of February 28, 2005.  The annualized base rental income of this lease is approximately $22,203,000, or approximately 8.1% of the total annualized base rental income, based on our Company’s portfolio of properties as of February 28, 2005.

 

The loss of an anchor tenant or a major tenant or their inability to pay rent could have an adverse effect on the performance of a property and our business.

* Major tenants include tenants leasing more than 10% of the gross leasable area of the property.

 

No one single tenant exceeds 10% of the total gross leasable area.

 

The total gross leasable area includes 717,123 square feet of space leased to tenants under ground lease agreements.

 

We have a 95% ownership interest in the LLC’s which own Boulevard at the Capital Centre, Gateway Village, Reisterstown Road Plaza, Tollgate Marketplace and Towson Circle.

 

In addition to the properties listed above, we consolidate one 124-unit apartment property, Cardiff Hall East, in which we made an investment through a joint venture arrangement on October 15, 2004.  This property, which is located in Towson, MD, had a mortgage payable with a balance of $5,108,656 at December 31, 2004.

 

The majority of the income from our properties consists of rent received under long-term leases.  Most of the leases provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent paid monthly in advance, and for the payment by tenants of a pro rata share of the real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs of the center.  Certain of the major tenant leases provide that the landlord is obligated to pay certain of these expenses above or below specific levels.  Some of the leases also provide for the payment of percentage rent, calculated as a percentage of a tenant’s gross sales above predetermined thresholds.

 

The following table lists the approximate physical occupancy levels and gross leasable area for our investment properties as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.  The weighted average gross leasable area occupied at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was 96% and 98%, respectively.  N/A indicates the property was not owned by us at the end of the period.

*  As part of the purchase of these properties, we are entitled to receive payments in accordance with a master lease agreement for space which was not producing revenue either at the time of or subsequent to the purchase. The master lease agreement covers rental payments due for periods ranging between three months and three years from the purchase date or until the space is leased.  The percentage in this table does not include non-revenue producing space covered by the master lease agreement.  The master lease agreements combined with the physical occupancy results in an economic occupancy ranging between 79% and 100% at December 31, 2004.

 

In addition to the properties listed above, we consolidate one apartment property, Cardiff Hall East, in which we made an investment through a joint venture arrangement on October 15, 2004.  This property, which is located in Towson, MD, has a total of 124 units, of which 122 (98%) were occupied at December 31, 2004.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter 2004.

 

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

 

Market Information

 

There is no established public trading market for our shares of common stock. The per share estimated value shall be deemed to be the offering price of the shares, which is currently $10.00 per share.  This valuation is supported because we are currently selling shares to the public at a price of $10.00 per share as of February 28, 2005.

 

We provide the following programs to facilitate investment in the initial offering and second offering shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders until such time as a market for the shares develops:

 

The DRP, subject to certain share ownership restrictions, allows stockholders who purchase shares in our offerings to automatically reinvest distributions by purchasing additional shares from us.  Such purchases under the DRP are not subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance, and are made at a price of $9.50 per share. That price will continue to be used until the offering price per share in the offerings is increased from $10.00 per share (if ever) or until the termination of the offerings, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, participants may acquire shares under the DRP at a price equal to 95% of the  “market price” of a share on the date of purchase until such time (if ever) as the shares are listed on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market

 

18



 

system.  In the event of such listing or inclusion, shares purchased by us for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market at the then prevailing market price, and will be sold to participants at that price.

 

The SRP, subject to certain restrictions, may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us. The prices at which shares may be sold back to us are as follows:

 

One year from the purchase date, at $9.25 per share;

Two years from the purchase date, at $9.50 per share;

Three years from the purchase date, at $9.75 per share; and

Four years from the purchase date, at the greater of $10.00 per share, or a price equal to 10 times our “funds available for distribution” per weighted average shares outstanding for the prior calendar year.

 

We will make repurchases under the SRP, if requested, at least once quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis.  Subject to funds being available, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to five percent (5%) of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.  Funding for the SRP will come exclusively from proceeds that we receive from the sale of shares under the DRP and such other operating funds, if any, as our board of directors, at its sole discretion, may reserve for this purpose.

 

Our board of directors, at its sole discretion, may choose to terminate the SRP after the end of the offering period, or reduce the number of shares purchased under the SRP, if it determines that the funds allocated to the SRP are needed for other purposes, such as the acquisition, maintenance or repair of properties, or for use in making a declared distribution. A determination by the board of directors to eliminate or reduce the SRP will require the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors.

 

We cannot guarantee that the funds set aside for the SRP will be sufficient to accommodate all requests made each year.  If no funds are available for the SRP when repurchase is requested, the stockholder may: (i) withdraw the request; or (ii) ask that we honor the request at such time, if any, when funds are available.  Such pending requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

There is no requirement that stockholders sell their shares to us. The SRP is only intended to provide interim liquidity for stockholders until a liquidity event occurs, such as the listing of the shares on a national securities exchange, inclusion of the shares for quotation on a national market system, or a merger with a listed company.  No assurance can be given that any such liquidity event will occur.

 

Shares purchased by us under the SRP will be canceled and will have the status of authorized but un-issued shares.  Shares acquired by us through the SRP will not be re-issued unless they are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Act, and under appropriate state securities laws, or otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.

 

Stockholders

 

As of February 28, 2005, we had 71,511 stockholders of record.

 

Distributions

 

We have been paying monthly distributions since October 2003. The table below depicts the distribution levels from our inception.  The rate shown is the annual per share amount.

We declared distributions to our stockholders per weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from October 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003 totaling $.66 per share and $.15 per share, respectively. Of these amounts, $.36 and $0 qualify as distributions taxable as ordinary income and $.30 and $.15 constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from October 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Options to purchase an aggregate of 17,500 shares at an exercise price of $8.95 per share have been granted to the independent directors pursuant to the Independent Directors Stock Option Plan (options to purchase 3,000 shares as to each of the independent directors plus options for 500 shares each on the date of the first annual meeting and 500 shares each on the date of each annual meeting thereafter).  Such options were granted, without registration under the Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Act, as transactions not involving any public offering.  None of such options have been exercised.  Therefore, no shares have been issued in connection with such options.

 

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

 

We registered, pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (SEC File Number 333-103799), the initial offering on a best efforts basis of 250,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share, subject to discounts in certain cases; up to 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 per share pursuant to our DRP.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we have sold the following securities in the initial offering for the following aggregate offering prices:

 

*

 

214,368,875

 

shares on a best efforts basis for $2,142,596,617; and

*

 

3,079,003

 

shares pursuant to the DRP for $29,250,830

*

 

(10,350

)

shares repurchased pursuant to the share repurchase program for $192,667

 

The total of shares and gross offering proceeds, net of shares repurchased, from the initial offering as of December 31, 2004 is 217,437,528 shares for $2,171,654,780. The above-stated number of shares sold and the gross offering proceeds received from such sales do not include the 20,000 shares purchased by the business manager/advisor for $200,000 preceding the commencement of the initial offering.

 

From September 17, 2003, which was the effective date of the initial offering, through December 31, 2004, we have incurred the following expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the registered securities:

Of the amount used for purchases of real estate, $24,000,000 was paid to affiliates of the advisor in connection with the acquisition of properties from such affiliates. For pending purchases of real estate, we temporarily invested net offering proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing securities.

 

We registered, pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (SEC File Number 333-118860), the second offering on a best efforts basis of 250,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share, subject to discounts in certain cases; up to 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 per share pursuant to our DRP.  No shares were sold from this offering as of December 31, 2004.

The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

 

(a)                             The net income (loss) per share basic and diluted is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively. The distributions per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from October 2, 2003 (first day shares were sold to the public) to December 31, 2003.  See Footnote (b) below for information regarding our calculation of FFO.  Our distributions of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes are taxable to stockholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the stockholder’s basis in the shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain (a return of capital).  These distributions in excess of earnings and profits will have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distributions until the sale of the stockholders’ shares.  For the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, $357,790 (or 100% of the distributions paid for 2003) represented a return of capital due to the tax loss in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately $24,544,000 (or approximately 45% of the $54,542,000 distribution paid in 2004) represented a return of capital. The balance of the distribution constitutes ordinary income. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, or approximately $10,530,660 for

2004. REIT taxable income does not include net capital gains.  Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.  Distributions are determined by our board of directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds available for distribution, our financial condition, any decision by the board of directors to reinvest funds rather than to distribute the funds, our capital expenditures, the annual distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Code, and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.

 

(b)                            One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. Cash generated from operations is not equivalent to our net income from continuing operations as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America or GAAP. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as “Funds from Operations” or “FFO” for short, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as us. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating properties, plus depreciation on real property and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because management believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs.  The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity.  Items which are capitalized do not impact FFO, whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO.  Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.  FFO is not intended to be an alternative to  “Net Income” as an indicator of our performance nor to  “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. We use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group.  Additionally, we use FFO in conjunction with our acquisition policy to determine investment capitalization strategy.  FFO is calculated as follows:

FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The following discussion and analysis relates to the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

 

Overview

 

We were formed to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate, principally multi-tenant shopping centers and single-user buildings.  We operate as a real estate investment trust or REIT for Federal and state income tax purposes.  We have initially focused on acquiring properties in the Western states.  We have begun to acquire and plan to continue acquiring properties in the Western states.  We may also acquire retail and single-user net lease properties in locations throughout the United States. We have also begun to acquire properties improved with commercial facilities which provide goods and services as well as double or triple net leased properties, which are either commercial or retail including properties acquired in sale and leaseback transactions.  A triple-net leased property is one which is leased to a tenant who is responsible for the base rent and all costs and expenses associated with their occupancy including property taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance. Inland Western Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. or our business manager/advisor has been retained to manage, for a fee, our day-to-day affairs, subject to the supervision of our board of directors.

 

Our goal is to purchase properties principally west of the Mississippi River and evaluate potential acquisition opportunities of properties east of the Mississippi River on a property by property basis, taking into consideration investment objectives and available funds.  As of  February 28, 2005 we have purchased 12 additional properties located in the states of Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Wisconsin, and Ontario, Canada.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we purchased 103 properties, of which 55 were not located in our primary geographical area of interest.  We purchased these 55 properties because we had the unique opportunity of taking advantage of our business manager/advisor’s acquisition pipeline of properties located east of the Mississippi River which generally, continue to have rates of return above those located in the Western United States. We expect this trend to continue into the next year. Our strategy in purchasing these properties was to deploy stockholder funds promptly and generate income for us as early as possible, while investing in properties which met our acquisition criteria.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the retail sector has remained relatively stable as a result of sustained consumer spending, which has helped maintain retail sales growth despite potential terrorist threats and the Iraqi war. A modest pace of new retail construction, and the expansion strategy of some retailers, who are renting more space to maintain market share and revenue growth and offset declining same store sales have also contributed to the stability.

 

Our goal is to maximize the possible return to our stockholders through the acquisition, development, re-development and management of our properties consisting of neighborhood and community shopping centers and single-tenant buildings. We actively manage our assets by leasing and releasing space at favorable rates, controlling costs, maintaining strong tenant relationships and creating additional value through redeveloping and repositioning our centers. We distribute funds generated from operations to our stockholders, and intend to continue distributions in order to maintain our REIT status.

Overall, the retail segment of the real estate industry has undergone a fundamental shift in consumer spending patterns while the grocery, drug and discount retail sectors have remained relatively stable over the past few years. The majority of consumer purchases for general merchandise occur at discount stores or warehouse club/supercenters following the lead of industry giants Wal-Mart and Home Depot. Strength in this segment has come at a detriment to older, established retailers, whose operating costs are relatively higher, and who do not offer bulk purchasing opportunities to consumers. In addition, relatively low interest rates have resulted in the increased purchasing power of the general public, further accelerating these retail trends.

 

Selecting properties with high quality tenants and mitigating risk through diversifying our tenant base is at the forefront of our acquisition strategy. We believe our strategy of purchasing properties, primarily in the fastest growing areas of the country and focusing on acquisitions with tenants who provide basic goods and services will produce stable earnings and growth opportunities in future years.

 

We are in the process of completing our initial offering of common stock and have raised $2,172,047,447 as of December 31, 2004.  We raised on average approximately $237 million per month during the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

On December 28, 2004, our second offering was declared effective for up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 each and the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 each, which may be distributed pursuant to our DRP.  We began selling shares of the second offering in January 2005.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we owned through separate limited partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture agreements, a portfolio of 111 properties located in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,  Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin containing an aggregate of approximately 20,231,000 square feet of gross leasable area.  As of December 31, 2004, approximately 97% of gross leasable area in the properties was physically leased and 99% was economically leased.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

General

 

The following disclosure pertains to critical accounting policies and estimates we believe are most “critical” to the portrayal of our  financial condition and results of operations which require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.  These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or GAAP.  GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  This discussion addresses our judgment pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.

 

Acquisition of Investment Property

 

We allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value, and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. In addition, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to the value of customer relationships. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires judgment and significant estimates.  We use the information contained in the independent appraisal obtained at acquisition as the primary basis for the allocation to land and building and improvements. We determine whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.  We also allocate a portion of the purchase price to the estimated acquired in-place lease costs based on estimated lease execution costs for similar leases as well as lost rent payments during assumed lease up period when calculating as if vacant fair values.  We consider various factors including geographic location and size of leased space.  We also evaluate each acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and we consider various factors including geographical location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile, and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market lease costs.  After an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market lease costs, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to such above or below acquired lease costs based upon the present value of the difference

 

25



 

between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate. However, for below market leases with fixed rate renewals, renewal periods are included in the calculation of below market in-place lease values. The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon the “risk free rate.”   This discount rate is a significant factor in determining the market valuation which requires our judgment of subjective factors such as market knowledge, economics, demographics, location, visibility, age and physical condition of the property.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards or SFAS No. 144, we conduct an analysis on a quarterly basis to determine if indicators of impairment exist to ensure that the property’s carrying value does not exceed its fair value.  If this were to occur, we are required to record an impairment loss.  The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on our continuous process of analyzing each property and reviewing assumptions about uncertain inherent factors, as well as the economic condition of the property at a particular point in time. No impairment losses have been taken in 2003 or 2004.

 

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies

 

Our policy is to review all expenses paid and capitalize any items exceeding $5,000 which are deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement.  These costs are capitalized and are included in the investment properties classification as an addition to buildings and improvements.

 

Buildings and improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, and 15 years for site improvements.  The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market costs and acquired below market costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as an adjustment to net rental income.  Acquired in-place lease costs, customer relationship value, other leasing costs, and tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of amortization expense.

 

The application of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 resulted in the recognition upon acquisition of additional intangible assets and liabilities relating to our real estate acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2004.  The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease costs and acquired below market lease costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income. Amortization pertaining to the above market lease costs of $3,118,699 was applied as a reduction to rental income for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $5,227 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  Amortization pertaining to the below market lease costs of $4,703,357 was applied as an increase to rental income for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $15,386 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

 

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-place lease costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease. We incurred amortization expense pertaining to acquired in-place lease costs of $9,923,630 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $51,773 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

 

The portion of the purchase price allocated to customer relationship value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.

Cost capitalization and the estimate of useful lives requires our judgment and includes significant estimates that can and do change based on our process which periodically analyzes each property and on our assumptions about uncertain inherent factors.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  We anticipate collecting these amounts over the terms of the leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

 

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.  We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. Should the actual results differ from our judgment, the estimated reimbursement could be negatively affected and would be adjusted appropriately.

 

In conjunction with certain acquisitions, we receive payments under master lease agreements pertaining to certain, non-revenue producing spaces either at the time of, or subsequent to, the purchase of some of our properties.  Upon receipt of the payments, the receipts are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the related properties rather than as rental income.  These master leases were established at the time of purchase in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of loss of rent and expense reimbursements.  Master lease payments are received through a draw of funds escrowed at the time of purchase and may cover a period from one to three years.  These funds may be released to either us or the seller when certain leasing conditions are met.  Restricted cash includes funds received by third party escrow agents, from sellers, pertaining to master lease agreements.  We record such escrows as both an asset and a corresponding liability, until certain leasing conditions are met.

 

We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.

 

Interest Rate Futures Contracts

 

We enter into interest rate futures contracts or treasury contracts as a means of reducing our exposure to rising interest rates.  At inception, contracts are evaluated in order to determine if they will qualify for hedge accounting treatment and will be accounted for either on a deferral, accrual or market value basis depending on the nature of our hedge strategy and the method used to account for the hedged item.  Hedge criteria include demonstrating the manner in which the hedge will reduce risk, identifying the specific asset, liability or firm commitment being hedged, and citing the time horizon being hedged.

 

27



 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company entered into treasury contracts with a futures commission merchant with yields ranging from 3.27% to 3.85% for 5 year treasury contracts and 4.00% to 4.63% for 10 year treasury contracts. On December 31, 2004, the treasury contracts had a liquidation value of $46,005 resulting in a loss of $3,666,894 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  As these treasury contracts are not offsetting future commitments and therefore do not qualify as hedges, the net loss is recognized currently in earnings.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

Our principal demands for funds have been for property acquisitions, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of interest on outstanding indebtedness. Generally, cash needs for items other than property acquisitions have been met from operations, and property acquisitions have been funded by a public offering of our shares of common stock.  However, there may be a passage of time between the sale of the shares and our purchase of properties, which may result in a delay in the benefits to stockholders of returns generated from property operations.  Our business manager/advisor evaluates potential additional property acquisitions and Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc., one of the affiliates of our sponsor, engages in negotiations with sellers on our behalf.  After a purchase contract is executed which contains specific terms, the property will not be purchased until due diligence, which includes review of the title insurance commitment, an appraisal and an environmental analysis, is successfully completed. In some instances, the proposed acquisition still requires the negotiation of final binding agreements, which may include financing documents.  During this period, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from the offering in certain investments that could yield lower returns than other investments, such as the acquisition of properties. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions.

 

Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from the public or private offering of our equity or debt securities, secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations.  We anticipate that during the current year we will (i) acquire additional existing shopping centers and net leased properties, (ii) begin to develop additional shopping center sites and (iii) continue to pay distributions to stockholders, and each is expected to be funded mainly from proceeds of our public offerings of shares, cash flows from operating activities, financings and other external capital resources available to us.

 

Our leases typically provide that the tenant bears responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses associated with ongoing maintenance and operation, including utilities, property taxes and insurance. In addition, in some instances our leases provide that the tenant is responsible for roof and structural repairs.  Certain of our properties are subject to leases under which we retain responsibility for certain costs and expenses associated with the property.  We anticipate that capital demands to meet obligations related to capital improvements with respect to properties will be minimal for the foreseeable future and can be met with funds from operations and working capital.  We believe that our current capital resources (including cash on hand) and anticipated financings are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

 

Liquidity

 

Offering.  As of December 31, 2004, subscriptions for the initial public offering for a total of 217,467,878 shares had been received from the public, which include the 20,000 shares issued to the business manager/advisor and 3,079,003 shares sold pursuant to the DRP as of December 31, 2004.  As a result of such sales, we received a total of $2,172,047,447 of gross offering proceeds for the initial public offering as of December 31, 2004.

 

On December 28, 2004, our second offering was declared effective for up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 each and the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 each, which may be distributed pursuant to our DRP.  We began selling shares of the second offering in early January 2005.

 

Mortgage Debt.  Mortgage loans outstanding as of December 31, 2004 were $1,782,538,627 and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.58%.  Of this amount, $1,635,745,627 had fixed rates ranging from 3.96% to 8.02% and a weighted average fixed rate of 4.67% at December 31, 2004. The rate of 8.02% represented the interest rate on the mortgage for Cardiff Hall East (Cardiff), a joint venture entity which we consolidate.  Excluding the Cardiff mortgage, the highest fixed rate on our mortgage debt was 6.34%.  The remaining $146,793,000 represented variable rate loans with a weighted

 

28



 

average interest rate of 3.55% at December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, scheduled maturities for our outstanding mortgage indebtedness had various due dates through August 2023.

 

During the period from January 1, 2005 through February 28, 2005 we obtained mortgage financing on properties that we purchased during 2004 and 2005 totaling approximately $276 million that require monthly payments of interest only and bear interest at a range of 4.30% to 5.69% per annum.

 

Line of Credit.  On December 24, 2003, we entered into a $150,000,000 unsecured line of credit arrangement a bank for a period of one year.  The funds from this line of credit were used to provide liquidity from the time a property was purchased until permanent debt was placed on the property.  We were required to pay interest only on the outstanding balance from time to time under the line at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  We were also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount ranging from .15% to .30%, per annum, on the average daily undrawn funds remaining under this line.  The line of credit required compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions.  As of December 31, 2003, we were in compliance with such covenants.  In connection with obtaining this line of credit, we paid fees in an amount totaling approximately $1,044,000 (which included a .65% commitment fee).  The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $5,000,000 as of December 31, 2003 with an effective interest rate of 2.9375% per annum.

 

On December 16, 2004, we terminated the existing line of credit agreement and executed a new unsecured line of credit facility with a bank for up to $100,000,000 with an optional unsecured borrowing capacity of $150,000,000 for a total unsecured borrowing capacity of $250,000,000.  The facility has an initial term of one year with two one-year extension options, with an annual variable interest rate.  The funds from this line of credit may be used to provide liquidity from the time a property is purchased until permanent debt is placed on that property.  The line of credit requires interest only payments monthly at the rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 175 basis points which ranged from 2.34% to 2.42% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.  We are also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount ranging from .15% to .25%, per annum, on the average daily undrawn funds under this line.  The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions. As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with such covenants. There was no outstanding balance on the line as of December 31, 2004.

 

Stockholder Liquidity.  We provide the following programs to facilitate investment in the shares and to provide limited, interim liquidity for stockholders until such time as a market for the shares develops:

 

The DRP allows stockholders who purchase shares pursuant to the offerings to automatically reinvest distributions by purchasing additional shares from us.  Such purchases will not be subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance and will be sold at a price of $9.50 per share.  As of December 31, 2004, we issued 3,079,003 shares pursuant to the DRP for an aggregate amount of $29,250,830.

 

Subject to certain restrictions, the SRP provides existing stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us at the following prices:

 

One year from the purchase date, at $9.25 per share;

Two years from the purchase date, at $9.50 per share;

Three years from the purchase date, at $9.75 per share; and

Four years from the purchase date, at the greater of $10.00 per share, or a price equal to 10 times our “funds available for distribution” per weighted average shares outstanding for the prior calendar year.

 

Shares purchased by us will not be available for resale.  As of December 31, 2004, 10,350 shares have been repurchased for a total of $192,667.

 

Capital Resources

 

We expect to meet our short-term operating liquidity requirements generally through our net cash provided by property operations.  We also expect that our properties will generate sufficient cash flow to cover our operating expenses plus pay a monthly distribution on our weighted average shares.  Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio.

We believe that we should put mortgage debt on or leverage our properties at approximately 50% of their value.  We also believe that we can borrow at the lowest overall cost of funds or interest rate by placing individual financing on each of our properties.  Accordingly, mortgage loans will generally have been placed on each property at the time that the property is purchased, or shortly thereafter, with the property solely securing the financing.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we closed on mortgage debt with a principal amount of $1,753,086,923. Of this amount, $1,606,293,923 represented fixed rate loans which bear interest rates between 3.96% and 8.02%. The rate of 8.02% represented the interest rate on the mortgage for Cardiff Hall East (Cardiff), a joint venture entity which we consolidate.  Excluding the Cardiff mortgage, the highest fixed rate on our mortgage debt was 6.34%.  The remaining $146,793,000 represented variable rate loans with a weighted average interest rate of 3.55% at December 31, 2004.

 

With the exception of the mortgage loans on Plaza Santa Fe II, Shops at Forest Commons and Henry Town Center, all of the loans that closed during the year ended December 31, 2004 may be prepaid with a penalty after specific lockout periods.  The mortgage loans on Plaza Santa Fe II, Shops at Forest Commons and Henry Town Center, have no prepayment privileges.

 

We have entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties we currently own or will purchase in the future.  We have outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $2,826,055 as of December 31, 2004 which are applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.45% to 5.12% for periods from 60 days to 90 days on approximately $240 million in principal.

 

During the period from January 1, 2005 to February 28, 2005, we entered into rate lock agreements which lock interest rates from 4.47% to 4.69% for periods from 30 days to 90 days on approximately $300 million in principal.

 

Although the loans we closed are generally non-recourse, occasionally, when it is deemed to be advantageous, we may guarantee all or a portion of the debt on a full-recourse basis.  Individual decisions regarding interest rates, loan-to-value, fixed versus variable-rate financing, maturity dates and related matters are often based on the condition of the financial markets at the time the debt is incurred, which conditions may vary from time to time.

 

Distributions are determined by our board of directors with the advice of our business manager/advisor and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds available for distribution, flow of funds, our financial condition, any decision by our board of directors to reinvest funds rather than to distribute the funds, our capital expenditures, the annual distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

 

Net cash generated from operating activities was approximately $63,520,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $724,000 for, the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to prior year is due primarily to the additional rental revenues and income generated from the operations of 103 additional properties purchased during the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to eight properties purchased for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

 

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $3,243,055,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $133,425,000 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  The cash flows used in investing activities were primarily due to the acquisition of 103 and eight properties for approximately $3,201,247,000 and $127,196,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

As of February 28, 2005, we had approximately $550 million available for investment in additional properties.  As of February 28, 2005, we are considering the acquisition of approximately $226 million in properties.  We are currently in the process of obtaining financings on properties which have been purchased, as well as certain of the properties which we

 

30



 

anticipate purchasing.  It is our intention to finance each of our acquisitions either at closing or subsequent to closing.  As a result of the intended financings and based on our current experience in raising funds in our offerings, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to acquire these properties.

 

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were approximately $3,356,378,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $197,082,000 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.  We generated proceeds from the sale of shares, net of offering costs paid and shares repurchased, of approximately $1,774,231,000 and $166,552,000, respectively. We generated approximately $1,653,523,000 and $29,627,000 from the issuance of new mortgages secured by 97 and two of our properties. We generated $165,000,000 and $5,000,000 from funding on the line of credit.  We paid approximately $16,613,000 and $4,023,000 for loan fees and approximately $54,542,000 and $358,000 in distributions to our stockholders. The sponsor has agreed to advance us amounts to pay a portion of these distributions until funds available for distribution are sufficient to cover distributions. In addition, $170,000,000 and $0 was paid off on the line of credit for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Given the current size of our offerings, as of February 28, 2005, we could raise approximately $2.4 billion of additional capital.  However, there can be no assurance that we will raise this amount of money or that we will be able to acquire additional attractive properties.

 

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations.  Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs.  To achieve our objectives we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to current market fixed rates at the time of conversion.

 

Effects of Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

 

Services Provided by Affiliates of the Business Manager/Advisor As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we had incurred $234,014,231 and $22,144,814, respectively of offering costs, of which $175,508,624 and $16,854,779, respectively were paid or accrued to affiliates. In accordance with the terms of our offerings, our business manager/advisor has guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses (excluding sales commissions and the marketing contribution and the due diligence expense allowance) in excess of 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the offerings or gross offering proceeds or all organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions) which together exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds.  As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, offering costs did not exceed the 5.5% and 15% limitations. We anticipate that these costs will not exceed these limitations upon completion of the offerings. Any excess amounts at the completion of the offerings will be reimbursed by our business manager/advisor.

 

Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of our business manager/advisor and its affiliates relating to the offerings.  In addition, an affiliate of our business manager/advisor is entitled to receive selling commissions, and the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance from us in connection with the offerings.  Such costs are offset against the stockholders’ equity accounts. Such costs totaled $175,508,624 and $16,859,779, of which $2,879,894 and $1,061,791 were unpaid at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Our business manager/advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for general and administrative expenses relating to our administration.  Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses to affiliates, in addition to costs that were capitalized pertaining to property acquisitions.  During the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, we incurred $1,542,986 and $194,017 of these costs, respectively, of which $957,471 and $40,703 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and are included in Due to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

An affiliate of our business manager/advisor provides loan servicing to us for an annual fee.  Such costs are included in property operating expenses to affiliates.  The agreement allows for annual fees totaling .03% of the first $1 billion in

 

31



 

mortgage balance outstanding and .01% of the remaining mortgage balance, payable monthly.  Such fees totaled $140,859 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $328 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

 

We use the services of an affiliate of our business manager/advisor to facilitate the mortgage financing that we obtained on some of the properties purchased. We pay the affiliate .02% of the principal balance of mortgage loans obtained.  Such costs are capitalized as loan fees and amortized over the respective loan term.  During the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, we paid loan fees totaling $3,475,472 and $59,523, respectively, to this affiliate.

 

We may pay an advisor asset management fee of not more than 1% of our average assets. Our average asset value is defined as the average of the total book value, including acquired intangibles, of our real estate assets invested in equity interests plus our loans receivable secured by real estate, before reserves for depreciation, reserves for bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves. We compute our average assets by taking the average of these values at the end of each month for which we are calculating the fee.  The fee would be payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% of average assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.  For any year in which we qualify as a REIT, our advisor must reimburse us for the following amounts if any: (1) the amounts by which our total operating expenses, the sum of the advisor asset management fee plus other operating expenses, paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of: (i) 2% of our average assets for that fiscal year, or (ii) 25% of our net income for that fiscal year; plus (2) an amount, which will not exceed the advisor asset management fee for that year, equal to any difference between the total amount of distributions to stockholders for that year and the 6% minimum annual return on the net investment of stockholders.  For the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, we neither paid nor accrued such fees because our business manager/advisor agreed to forego such fees for those periods.

 

The property managers, entities owned principally by individuals who are affiliates of our business manager/advisor, are entitled to receive property management fees totaling 4.5% of gross operating income, for management and leasing services.  We incurred property management fees of $5,381,721 and $16,627 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.  None remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

 

We established a discount stock purchase policy for our affiliates and affiliates of our business manager/advisor that enables the affiliates to purchase shares of common stock at either $8.95 or $9.50 a share depending on when the shares are purchased.  We sold 605,060 and 59,497 shares of common stock to affiliates and recognized an expense related to these discounts of $427,122 and $62,472 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we were due funds from our affiliates in the amount of $654,004 and $918,750, respectively, which is comprised of $654,004 and $845,000, respectively, which is due from our sponsor for reimbursement of a portion of distributions paid. The remaining $73,750 as of December 31, 2003 is due from an affiliate for costs paid on their behalf by us.  Our sponsor has agreed to advance to us amounts to pay a portion of distributions to our stockholders until funds available for distribution are sufficient to cover the distributions.  Our sponsor forgave $2,369,139 of these amounts during the second quarter of 2004 and these funds are no longer due. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we owe funds to our sponsor in the amount of $3,522,670 and $1,202,519, respectively, for repayment of the funds advanced for payment of distributions.

The table includes interest payments to which we are contractually obligated under long term debt agreements.

 

We lease land under non-cancelable leases at certain of the properties expiring in various years from 2028 to 2096.  The property attached to the land will revert back to the lessor at the end of the lease.

 

Contracts and Commitments

 

We have closed on several properties which have earnout components, meaning that we did not pay for portions of these properties that were not rent producing.  We are obligated, under certain agreements, to pay for those portions when the tenant moves into its space and begins to pay rent.  The earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula. Each earnout agreement has a time limit regarding the obligation to pay any additional monies.  If at the end of the time period allowed certain space has not been leased and occupied, we will own that space without any further obligation. Based on pro forma leasing rates, we may pay as much as $189,042,868 in the future, as retail space covered by earnout agreements is occupied and becomes rent producing.

 

During 2004, we entered into two installment note agreements in which we are obligated to fund up to a total of $33,398,314.  The notes maintain stated interest rates of 6.993% and 7.5572% per annum and mature in July 2005 and August 2005, respectively.  Each note requires monthly interest payments with the entire principal balance due at maturity.  The combined receivable balance at December 31, 2004 was $31,771,731.  Therefore, we may be required to fund up to an additional $1,626,583 on these notes.

 

We have obtained three irrevocable letters of credit related to loan fundings against earnout spaces at certain properties.  Once we purchase the remaining portion of these properties and meet certain occupancy requirements, the letters of credit will be released. The balance of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2004 is $11,573,100.

 

In connection with the purchase of one of our properties, we received a price adjustment in the amount of $763,072 related to spaces that were vacant at the time of closing. If at any time during the next two years the seller is able to lease that space under conditions satisfactory to us, we are obligated to pay the seller a pro-rata share of the purchase price reduction.

 

We have entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties we currently own or will purchase in the future.  We have outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $2,826,055 as of December 31, 2004 which are applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.45% to 5.12% for periods from 60 days to 90 days on approximately $240 million in principal.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2004, we purchased 12 properties for a purchase price of approximately $260 million.  In addition, we are currently considering acquiring nine properties for an estimated purchase price of $226 million.  Our decision to acquire each property generally depends upon no material adverse change occurring relating to the property, the tenants or in the local economic conditions, and our receipt of satisfactory due diligence information including appraisals, environmental reports and lease information prior to purchasing the property.

Amortization expense was $11,859,597 and $76,608, respectively, and is due to the application of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 resulting from the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $250 million and loan and leasing fees of $12 million during the year ended December 31, 2004 and intangible assets of approximately $9 million and loan and leasing fees of $1 million during the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

We are obligated under earnout agreements to pay for certain tenant space in our existing properties after the tenant moves into its space and begins paying rent.  During the period from January 1 to February 28, 2005, we funded earnouts totaling $20,552,372 at seven of our existing properties.

 

We are currently considering acquiring nine properties for an estimated purchase price of $226 million.  Our decision to acquire each property will generally depend upon no material adverse change occurring relating to the property, the tenants or in the local economic conditions, and our receipt of satisfactory due diligence information including appraisals, environmental reports and lease information prior to purchasing the property.

 

36



 

During the period from January 1, 2005 to February 28, 2005, we entered into rate lock agreements which lock interest rates from 4.47% to 4.69% for periods from 30 days to 90 days on approximately $300 million in principal.

 

Inflation

 

For our multi-tenant shopping centers, inflation is likely to increase rental income from leases to new tenants and lease renewals, subject to market conditions.  Our rental income and operating expenses for those properties owned, or to be owned and operated under net leases, are not likely to be directly affected by future inflation, since rents are or will be fixed under the leases and property expenses are the responsibility of the tenants.  The capital appreciation of net leased properties is likely to be influenced by interest rate fluctuations.  To the extent that inflation determines interest rates, future inflation may have an effect on the capital appreciation of net leased properties.  As of December 31, 2004, we owned 24 single-user net leased properties.

 

Item 7 (a). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations.  Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs.  To achieve our objectives we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.

 

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our properties.  To the extent we do, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk.  Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract.  When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us.  When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk.  It is our policy to enter into these transactions with the same party providing the financing, with the right of offset.  In the alternative, we will minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.  Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates.  The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we entered into treasury contracts with a futures commission merchant with yields ranging from 3.27% to 3.85% for 5 year treasury contracts and 4.00% to 4.63% for 10 year treasury contracts. On December 31, 2004, the treasury contracts had a liquidation value of $46,005 resulting in a loss of $3,666,894 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  As these treasury contracts are not offsetting future commitments and therefore do not qualify as hedges, the net loss is recognized currently in earnings. To offset the net loss recognized on the treasury contracts, we took advantage of the lower treasury yields which caused the loss on the treasury contracts and secured permanent financing in the amount of approximately $835,000,000 for pending acquisitions.

 

With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both of our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.  The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.

 

While this hedging strategy is intended to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, the result may be a reduction in overall returns on your investment.

 

The fair value of our debt approximates its carrying amount as of December 31, 2004.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates by year and expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

We have $147,368,042 of debt (including note payable) bearing variable rate interest averaging 3.55% as of December 31, 2004.  An increase in the variable interest rate on this debt constitutes a market risk.  If interest rates increase by 1%, based on debt outstanding as of December 31, 2004, interest expense increases by $1,473,680 on an annual basis.

 

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2004.  It does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. The information presented herein is merely an estimate and has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time, and future changes in the level of interest rates.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule III.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 3, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.:

 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 3, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, and our report dated March 3, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule III.

INLAND WESTERN RETAIL REAL ESTATE TRUST, INC.

(A Maryland Corporation)

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

(1)  Organization and Basis of Accounting

 

Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on March 5, 2003 to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate, primarily multi-tenant shopping centers. The Advisory Agreement provides for Inland Western Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. (the “Business Manager” or “Advisor”), an Affiliate of the Company, to be the Business Manager or Advisor to the Company.  On September 15, 2003, the Company commenced an initial public offering (the initial public offering) of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 each and the issuance of 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 each which may be distributed pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment program. The Company registered a second offering (the second offering) that became effective on December 28, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 each and up to 20,000,000 shares at $9.50 each pursuant to the distribution reinvestment program. Sales of shares in the second offering began in early January 2005.

 

The Company is qualified and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2003.  Since the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

The Company provides the following programs to facilitate investment in the Company’s shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders.

 

The Company allows stockholders who purchase shares in the initial public offering and second offering to purchase additional shares from the Company by automatically reinvesting distributions through the distribution reinvestment program (“DRP”), subject to certain share ownership restrictions. Such purchases under the DRP are not subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance, and are made at a price of $9.50 per share.

 

The Company will repurchase shares under the share repurchase program (“SRP”), if requested, at least once quarterly on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to certain restrictions. Subject to funds being available, the Company will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. Funding for the SRP will come exclusively from proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of shares under the DRP and such other operating funds, if any, as the Company’s board of directors, at its sole discretion, may reserve for this purpose.  The board, at its sole discretion, may choose to terminate the share repurchase program after the end of the offering period, or reduce the number of shares purchased under the program, if it determines that the funds allocated to the SRP are needed for other purposes, such as the acquisition, maintenance or repair of properties, or for use in making a declared distribution.  A determination by the board to eliminate or reduce the share repurchase program will require the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company had repurchased 10,350 shares for $192,667.

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture investments.  Wholly owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (LLC’s) and limited partnerships (LP’s).  The effects of all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

(continued)

 

The Company would consolidate certain property holding entities and other subsidiaries that it owns less than a 100% equity interest if the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and it is the primary beneficiary (as defined in FASB Interpretation 46(R) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, as revised (“FIN 46(R)”)). For joint ventures that are not VIE’s of which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the property if it receives substantially all of the economics or has the direct or indirect ability to make major decisions. Major decisions are defined in the respective joint venture agreements and generally include participating and protective rights such as decisions regarding major leases, encumbering the entities with debt and whether to dispose of the entities.

 

The Company has a 95% ownership interest in the LLC’s which own Gateway Village, Boulevard at the Capital Centre, Towson Circle, Reisterstown Road Plaza and Tollgate Marketplace, however, the Company shares equally in major decisions. These entities are considered VIE’s as defined in FIN 46(R) and the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Therefore these entities are consolidated by the Company and the 5% outside ownership interest is reflected as minority interest in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Company has a 60.9% ownership interest in, and is the controlling member of the LLC which owns Cardiff Hall East Apartments.  The other members’ interests in the property are reflected as minority interest in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentations.

 

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company records lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.

 

Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, determined that a lessor should defer recognition of contingent rental income (i.e. percentage/excess rent) until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  The Company records percentage rental revenue in accordance with the SAB 101.

 

The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

(continued)

 

The Company classifies its investment in securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity.  All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Investment in securities at December 31, 2004 consists of common stock investments and is classified as available-for-sale securities and is recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new costs basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end and forecasted performance of the investee. Of the investment securities held on December 31, 2004, the Company has accumulated other comprehensive income of $241,015.

 

Costs associated with the offerings are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offerings upon closing.  Formation and organizational costs are expensed as incurred. For the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, $7,500 of organizational costs was expensed. No organizational costs were expensed in the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The Company applies the fair value method of accounting as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for its stock options granted.  Under this method, the Company will report the value of granted options as a charge against earnings ratably over the vesting period.

 

The Company enters into interest rate futures contracts or treasury contracts as a means of reducing exposure to rising interest rates. At inception, contracts are evaluated in order to determine if they will qualify for hedge accounting treatment and will be accounted for either on a deferral, accrual or market value basis depending on the nature of the hedge strategy and the method used to account for the hedged item. Hedge criteria include demonstrating the manner in which the hedge will reduce risk, identifying the specific asset, liability or firm commitment being hedged, and citing the time horizon being hedged.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company entered into treasury contracts with a futures commission merchant with yields ranging from 3.27% to 3.85% for 5 year treasury contracts and 4.00% to 4.63% for 10 year treasury contracts. On December 31, 2004, the treasury contracts had a liquidation value of $46,005 resulting in a loss of $3,666,894 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  As these treasury contracts are not offsetting future commitments and therefore do not qualify as hedges, the net loss is recognized currently in earnings.

 

Differences between the carrying amount of the investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and the Company’s equity in the underlying assets are depreciated over 30 years.

 

Real estate acquisitions are recorded at costs less accumulated depreciation.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight line method.  Building and improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for building and improvements and 15 years for site improvements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
 (continued)

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company performs an analysis to identify impairment indicators to ensure that the investment property’s carrying value does not exceed its fair value.  The valuation analysis performed by the Company is based upon many factors which require difficult, complex or subjective judgments to be made.  Such assumptions include projecting vacancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses, lease terms, tenant financial strength, economy, demographics, property location, capital expenditures and sales value among other assumptions to be made upon valuing each property.  This valuation is sensitive to the actual results of any of these uncertain factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  Based upon the Company’s judgment, no impairment was warranted as of December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

 

Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of amortization expense.

 

Leasing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.

 

Loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loans.

 

The Company allocates the purchase price of each acquired investment property between land, building and improvements, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value, and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. In addition, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to the value of the customer relationships. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires judgment and significant estimates.  The Company uses the information contained in the independent appraisal obtained at acquisition as the primary basis for the allocation to land and building and improvements. The Company determines whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar investment properties.  The Company also allocates a portion of the purchase price to the estimated acquired in-place lease costs based on estimated lease execution costs for similar leases as well as lost rent payments during assumed lease-up period when calculating as if vacant fair values.  The Company considers various factors including geographic location and size of leased space.  The Company also evaluates each acquired lease based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and considers various factors including geographical location, size and location of leased space within the investment property, tenant profile, and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market lease costs.  After an acquired lease is determined to be above or below market lease costs, the Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to such above or below acquired lease costs based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate. However, for below market leases with fixed rate renewals, renewal periods are included in the calculation of below market in-place lease values. The determination of the discount rate used in the present value calculation is based upon the “risk free rate.” This discount rate is a significant factor in determining the market valuation which requires the Company’s judgment of subjective factors such as market knowledge, economics, demographics, location, visibility, age and physical condition of the property.

 

The application of the SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 resulted in the recognition upon acquisition of additional intangible assets and liabilities relating to real estate acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease costs and acquired below market lease costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income and over the respective renewal period for below market lease costs with fixed rate renewals. Amortization pertaining to the above market lease costs of $3,118,699 was applied as a reduction to rental income for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $5,227 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.  Amortization pertaining to the below market lease costs of $4,703,357 was applied as an increase to rental income for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $15,386 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-place lease intangibles is amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease. The Company incurred amortization expense pertaining to acquired in-place lease intangibles of $9,923,630 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $51,773 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.

 

The portion of the purchase price allocated to customer relationship value is amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease.

 

The following table presents the amortization during the next five years related to the acquired in-place lease intangibles, customer relationship value, acquired above market lease costs and the below market lease costs for properties owned at December 31, 2004.

In conjunction with certain acquisitions, the Company receives payments under master lease agreements pertaining to certain, non-revenue producing spaces either at the time of, or subsequent to, the purchase of some of the Company’s properties.  Upon receipt of the payments, the receipts are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the related properties rather than as rental income.  These master leases were established at the time of purchase in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of loss of rent and expense reimbursements.  Master lease payments are received through a draw of funds escrowed at the time of purchase and may cover a period from three months to three years.  These funds may be released to either the Company or the seller when certain leasing conditions are met.  Restricted cash includes funds received by third party escrow agents from sellers pertaining to master lease agreements.  The Company records the third party escrow funds as both an asset and a corresponding liability, until certain leasing conditions are met.

 

Restricted escrows primarily consist of lenders’ restricted escrows and earnout escrows.  Earnout escrows are established upon the acquisition of certain investment properties for which the funds may be released to the seller when certain leasing conditions have been met.

 

Notes receivable relate to real estate financing arrangements and bear interest at a market rate based on the borrower’s credit quality and are recorded at face value.  Interest is recognized over the life of the note.  The Company requires collateral for the notes.

A note is considered impaired pursuant to SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, a note is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest contractually due.  The impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate.  The Company does not accrue interest when a note is considered impaired.  When ultimate collectibility of the principal balance of the impaired note is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired notes are applied to reduce the principal amount of such notes until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income, thereafter.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s debt approximates fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s lenders. The carrying amount of the Company’s other financial instruments approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, (“SFAS 153”). The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured on the fair value of assets exchanged. It eliminates the exceptions for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 31, 2003, the Company acquired an existing shopping center known as The Shops at Park Place through the purchase of all of the membership interests of the general partner and the membership interests of the limited partner of the limited partnership holding title to this property.  The center contains approximately 116,300 gross leasable square feet and is located in Plano, Texas. An affiliate of our Advisor, Inland Park Place Limited Partnership, acquired this property on September 30, 2003 from CDG Park Place LLC, an unaffiliated third party for $23,868,000.  Inland Park Place Limited Partnership agreed to sell this property to the Company when sufficient funds from the sale of shares to acquire this property were raised. Inland Park Place Limited Partnership agreed to sell this property to the Company for the price the affiliate paid to the unaffiliated third party, plus any actual costs incurred. The Company’s board of directors unanimously approved acquiring this property, including a unanimous vote of the independent directors. The total acquisition cost to the Company was $24,000,000, which included $132,000 of costs incurred by the affiliate.

 

As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had incurred $234,014,231 and $22,144,814 of offering costs, of which $175,508,624 and $16,859,779, respectively, were paid or accrued to affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the offerings, the Business Manager or Advisor has guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses (excluding sales commissions and the marketing contribution and the due diligence expense allowance) in excess of 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the offerings or all organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions) which together exceed 15% of gross proceeds. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, offering costs did not exceed the 5.5% and 15% limitations. The Company anticipates that these costs will not exceed these limitations upon completion of the offerings.

 

The Business Manager or Advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and expenses of employees of the Business Manager or Advisor and its affiliates relating to the offerings.  In addition, an affiliate of the Business Manager or Advisor is entitled to receive selling commissions, and the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance from the Company in connection with the offerings.  Such costs are offset against the stockholders’ equity accounts. Such costs totaled $175,508,624 and $16,859,779, of which $2,879,894 and $1,061,791 were unpaid at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

The Business Manager or Advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for general and administrative costs relating to the Company’s administration.  Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses to affiliates, in addition to costs that were capitalized pertaining to property acquisitions.  For the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, the Company incurred $1,542,986 and $194,017 of these costs, respectively, of which $957,471 and $40,703 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are included in due to affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

An affiliate of the Business Manager or Advisor provides loan servicing to the Company for an annual fee.  The agreement allows for annual fees totaling .03% of the first $1 billion in mortgage balance outstanding and ..01% of the remaining mortgage balances, payable monthly.  Such fees totaled $140,859 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $328 for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003.

 

The Company used the services of an affiliate of the Business Manager or Advisor to facilitate the mortgage financing that the Company obtained on some of the properties purchased. The Company pays the affiliate .02% of the principal amount of each loan obtained on the Company’s behalf.  Such costs are capitalized as loan fees and amortized over the respective loan term.  For the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, the Company paid loan fees totaling $3,475,472 and $59,523 to this affiliate, respectively.

The Company may pay an advisor asset management fee of not more than 1% of the average assets. Average asset value is defined as the average of the total book value, including acquired intangibles, of the Company’s real estate assets plus the Company’s loans receivable secured by real estate, before reserves for depreciation, reserves for bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves. The Company computes the average assets by taking the average of these values at the end of each month for which the fee is being calculated.  The fee would be payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% of average assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.  For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, the advisor must reimburse the Company for the following amounts if any: (1) the amounts by which total operating expenses, the sum of the advisor asset management fee plus other operating expenses, paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of: (i) 2% of average assets for that fiscal year, or (ii) 25% of net income for that fiscal year; plus (2) an amount, which will not exceed the advisor asset management fee for that year, equal to any difference between the total amount of distributions to stockholders for that year and the 6% minimum annual return on the net investment of stockholders.  The Company neither paid nor accrued such fees because the Business Manager or Advisor agreed to forego such fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003.

 

The property managers, entities owned principally by individuals who are affiliates of the Business Manager or Advisor, are entitled to receive property management fees totaling 4.5% of gross operating income, for management and leasing services.  The Company incurred property management fees of $5,381,721 and $16,627 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2003, respectively. None remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

 

The Company established a discount stock purchase policy for affiliates of the Company and the Business Manager or Advisor that enables the affiliates to purchase shares of common stock at a discount at either $8.95 or $9.50 per share depending on when the shares are purchased. The Company sold 605,060 and 59,497 shares of common stock to affiliates and recognized an expense related to these discounts of $427,122 and $62,472 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company was due funds from affiliates in the amount of $654,004 and $918,750, respectively which is comprised of $654,004 and $845,000, respectively, which is due from the sponsor for reimbursement of a portion of distributions paid.  The remaining $73,750 as of December 31, 2003 is due from an affiliate for costs paid on their behalf by the Company.  The sponsor has agreed to advance funds to the Company for a portion of distributions paid to the Company’s shareholders until funds available for distributions are sufficient to cover the distributions.  The sponsor forgave $2,369,139 of these amounts during the second quarter of 2004 and these funds are no longer due and are recorded as a contribution to capital in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company owed funds to the sponsor in the amount of $3,522,670 and $1,202,519, respectively, for repayment of the funds advanced for payment of distributions.

 

As of December 31, 2003 the Company owed funds to an affiliate in the amount of $2,154,158 for the reimbursement of costs paid by the affiliate on behalf of the Company.  The amount due at December 31, 2003 was repaid during 2004.

(4)  Stock Option Plan

 

The Company has adopted an Independent Director Stock Option Plan which, subject to certain conditions, provides for the grant to each independent director of an option to acquire 3,000 shares following their becoming a director and for the grant of additional options to acquire 500 shares on the date of each annual stockholders’ meeting. The options for the initial 3,000 shares are exercisable as follows: 1,000 shares on the date of grant and 1,000 shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The subsequent options will be exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The initial options will be exercisable at $8.95 per share. The subsequent options will be exercisable at the fair market value of a share on the last business day preceding the annual meeting of stockholders. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, we have issued 3,500 and 3,000 options, respectively, to acquire shares to each of our independent directors, for a total of 17,500 and 15,000 options, respectively, of which none have been exercised or expired.

 

The per share weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.60 on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 8%, risk free interest rate of 2.0%, expected life of five years and expected volatility rate of 18.0%. The Company had recorded $3,000 as expense for the 5,000 options (1,000 options per director) vesting upon the date of grant as of December 31, 2003 and is recording the remaining $6,000 in expense related to 2003 grants ratably over the remaining two-year vesting period. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued an additional 2,500 options with a weighted average fair value at the date of grant of $1,500 and recorded $3,375 of expense related to stock options.

No such payments were received in 2003.

(8)  Line of Credit

 

On December 24, 2003, the Company entered into a $150,000,000 unsecured line of credit arrangement a bank for a period of one year.  The funds from this line of credit were used to provide liquidity from the time a property was purchased until permanent debt was placed on the property.  The Company was required to pay interest only on the outstanding balance from time to time under the line at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  The Company was also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount ranging from .15% to ..30%, per annum, on the average daily undrawn funds remaining under this line.  The line of credit required compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions.  As of December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.  In connection with obtaining this line of credit, the Company paid fees in an amount totaling approximately $1,044,000 (which included a .65% commitment fee).  The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $5,000,000 as of December 31, 2003 with an effective interest rate of 2.9375% per annum.

 

On December 16, 2004, the Company terminated the existing line of credit agreement and executed a new unsecured line of credit facility with a bank for up to $100,000,000 with an optional unsecured borrowing capacity of $150,000,000 for a total unsecured borrowing capacity of $250,000,000.  The facility has an initial term of one year with two one-year extension options, with an annual variable interest rate.  The funds from this line of credit may be used to provide liquidity from the time a property is purchased until permanent debt is placed on that property.  The line of credit requires interest only payments monthly at the rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 175 basis points which ranged from 2.34% to 2.42% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.  The Company is also required to pay, on a quarterly basis, an amount ranging from .15% to .25%, per annum, on the average daily undrawn funds under this line.  The line of credit requires compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, minimum net worth requirements, distribution limitations and investment restrictions. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. There was no outstanding balance on the line as of December 31, 2004.

(10)  Segment Reporting

 

The Company owns and seeks to acquire single-user net lease properties and multi-tenant shopping centers principally in the western United States. The Company’s shopping centers are typically anchored by discount retailers, home improvement retailers, grocery and drugstores complemented with additional stores providing a wide range of other goods and services to shoppers.

 

The Company assesses and measures operating results on an individual property basis for each of its properties based on net property operations.  Since all of the Company’s properties exhibit highly similar economic characteristics, cater to the day-to-day living needs of their respective surrounding communities, and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth, the properties have been aggregated and reported as one operating segment.

(11)  Earnings (loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the “common shares”).  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the common shares plus shares issuable upon exercising options or other contracts. As a result of the net loss incurred in 2003, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not give effect to common stock equivalents as to do so would be anti-dilutive.  As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase 17,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.95 per share were outstanding.  These options were not included in the computation of basic or diluted EPS as the effect would be immaterial.

 

The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 98,562,885 and 2,520,986 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from March 5, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, respectively.

(12)  Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has closed on several properties which have earnout components, meaning the Company did not pay for portions of these properties that were not rent producing.  The Company is obligated, under certain agreements, to pay for those portions when the tenant moves into its space and begins to pay rent.  The earnout payments are based on a predetermined formula. Each earnout agreement has a time limit regarding the obligation to pay any additional monies.  If at the end of the time period allowed certain space has not been leased and occupied, the Company will own that space without any further obligation. Based on pro forma leasing rates, the Company may pay as much as $189,042,868 in the future, as retail space covered by earnout agreements is occupied and becomes rent producing.

 

During 2004, the Company entered into two installment note agreements in which the Company is obligated to fund up to a total of $33,398,314.  The notes maintain stated interest rates of 6.993% and 7.5572% per annum and mature in July 2005 and August 2005.  Each note requires monthly interest payments with the entire principal balance due at maturity.  The combined receivable balance at December 31, 2004 was $31,771,731.  Therefore, the Company may be required to fund up to an additional $1,626,583 on these notes.

 

The Company has obtained three irrevocable letters of credit related to loan fundings against earnout spaces at certain properties.  Once the Company purchases the remaining portion of these properties and meet certain occupancy requirements, the letters of credit will be released. The balance of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2004 is $11,573,100.

 

In connection with the purchase of one of our properties, the Company received a price adjustment in the amount of $763,072 related to spaces that were vacant at the time of closing. If at any time during the next two years the seller is able to lease that space under conditions satisfactory to the Company, the Company is obligated to pay the seller a pro-rata share of the purchase price reduction.

 

The Company has entered into interest rate lock agreements with various lenders to secure interest rates on mortgage debt on properties the Company currently owns or will purchase in the future. The Company has outstanding rate lock deposits in the amount of $2,826,055 as of December 31, 2004 which are applied as credits to the mortgage fundings as they occur.  These agreements lock interest rates from 4.45% to 5.12% for periods from 60 days to 90 days on approximately $240 million in principal.

 

The Company is currently considering acquiring nine properties for an estimated purchase price of $226 million. The Company’s decision to acquire each property will generally depend upon no material adverse change occurring relating to the property, the tenants or in the local economic conditions and the Company’s receipt of satisfactory due diligence information including appraisals, environmental reports and lease information prior to purchasing the property.

 

(13)  Subsequent Events

 

The Company issued 42,629,352 shares of common stock and repurchased 28,459 shares of common stock from January 1, 2005 through February 28, 2005 in connection with the initial public offering and second offering, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $425 million.

 

The Company paid distributions of $11,377,712 and $12,232,404 to its stockholders in January and February 2005, respectively.

Exhibit 3.2.1

 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

OF
INLAND WESTERN RETAIL REAL ESTATE TRUST, INC.

 

ARTICLE I
OFFICES AND FISCAL YEAR

 

SECTION 1. REGISTERED OFFICE/AGENT. Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) shall continuously maintain in the State of Maryland a registered office and a registered agent whose office is identical with such registered office. The address of the Company’s registered office in the State of Maryland is 300 East Lombard Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. The name of the Company’s registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Incorporated. The Company reserves the power to change its registered agent and registered office at any time.

 

SECTION 2. PRINCIPAL OFFICE. The post office address of the principal office of the Company in the State of Maryland is c/o The Corporation Trust Incorporated, 300 East Lombard Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

 

SECTION 3. OTHER OFFICES. The Company may also have offices other than its principal office at such other places both within and without the State of Maryland as the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may from time to time determine or as the business of the Company may require.

 

SECTION 4. FISCAL AND TAXABLE YEARS. The fiscal and taxable years of the Company shall begin on January 1 and end on December 31.

 

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS

 

SECTION 1. ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders”) shall be held on the first Tuesday in May of each year, commencing in 2003, or on such other day in May as the Board may determine; provided, however, such meeting shall not be held less than 30 days after delivery of the annual report to the Stockholders. The purpose of each annual meeting of the Stockholders is to elect directors of the Company (the “Directors”) and to transact such other business, as may properly come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.

 

SECTION 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Stockholders may be called by the chairman, the president, a majority of the Directors or a majority of the Independent Directors (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company), and shall be called by the

 



 

secretary or another officer of the Company upon written request (which request states the purpose of the meeting and the matter(s) to be acted upon) of Stockholders holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (“Shares”) entitled to vote at such meeting. Upon receipt of such a written request, the secretary of the Company shall inform the Stockholders making the request of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of such meeting; and upon payment of these costs to the Company, notify each Stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting. Unless requested by the Stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any special meeting of the Stockholders held during the preceding 12 months. At such meeting, a majority of then outstanding shares may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board of Directors, vote to amend the Articles (as defined below), terminate the Company or remove any member of the Board of Directors, consistent with these Bylaws.

 

SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Each meeting of the Stockholders for the election of Directors shall be held at the principal executive offices of the Company unless the Board shall by resolution designate any other place for such meeting. Meetings of Stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such place, within or without the State of Maryland, and at such time as shall be determined pursuant to Section 2 of this Article II, and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

 

SECTION 4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Except as provided in the second sentence of Section 2 of this Article II, not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety (90) days before an annual or a special meeting of Stockholders, the secretary shall give to each Stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each Stockholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting, written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, either by mail, by presenting it to such Stockholder personally or by leaving it at such Stockholder’s residence or usual place of business. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the Stockholder at its post office address which appears in the records of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid.

 

SECTION 5. SCOPE OF NOTICE. Any business of the Company may be transacted at an annual meeting of Stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice required in Section 4 of this Article II, except such business as is required by any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of Stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice.

 

SECTION 6. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Anything in these Bylaws to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to any meeting of the Stockholders, any Stockholder who in person or by proxy shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting, either before or after such meeting, or who shall attend the meeting in person or by proxy, shall be deemed to have waived notice of such meeting unless such Stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, and docs so object to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

SECTION 7. QUORUM; MANNER OF ACTING AND ORDER OF BUSINESS. Subject to any other provision of these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as

 



 

amended and restated (the “Articles”), and the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), as to the vote that is required for a specified action, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Directors, vote to elect the Directors, The vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present, shall be binding on all Stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the MGCL, the Articles or these Bylaws, The Stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of Stockholders such that less than a quorum is present.

 

In the absence of a quorum, Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, or if no Stockholders are present, any officer entitled to preside at or act as secretary of the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and place. Any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present. No notice of an adjourned meeting need be given if the lime and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken except that, if adjournment is for more than 120 days or if, after the adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given pursuant to Section 4 of this Article II.

 

Meetings of the Stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman, or in his absence by the president, or in his absence by a vice president, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation, by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The secretary of the Company shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The order of business at all meetings of the Stockholders shall be determined by the chairman. The order of business so determined, however, may be changed by vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

SECTION 8. VOTING; PROXIES. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 8, or the Articles, each Stockholder of record on the record date, as determined pursuant to Section 6 of Article VI of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to one vote for every Share registered in his name.

SECTION 10. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Any Shares registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president, a vice president, a general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or by a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person, who has been appointed to vote such Shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing board of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of the partnership, presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such Shares. Any trustee or other fiduciary may vote Shares registered in his name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.

 

Shares of the Company directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

The resolution shall set forth the class of Stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Directors consider necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the Stockholder of record of the specified Shares in place of the Stockholder who makes the certification.

If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any Stockholder or his proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If appointed at the meeting upon the request of one or more Stockholders or proxies, the vote of the holders of a majority of Shares present in person or by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors are appointed. In any case, if any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person acting as chairman.

 

(b)                                 The inspector(s) of election shall determine the number of outstanding Shares, the Shares represented at the meeting and the existence of a quorum, shall receive votes or consents, shall count and tabulate all votes and shall determine the result; and in connection therewith, the inspector(s) shall determine the authority, validity and effect of proxies, hear and determine all challenges and questions, and do such other ministerial acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all Stockholders. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. If no inspectors of election are appointed, the secretary shall pass upon all questions and shall have all other duties specified in this Section 11.

 

(c)                                  Upon request of the chairman of the meeting or any Stockholder or his proxy, the inspector(s) of election shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or other matter determined by him and shall execute a certificate of any fact found in connection therewith. Any such report or certificate shall be filed with the record of the meeting.

Within the earlier of twenty (20) days after the annual meeting of Stockholders or one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the fiscal year of the Company, the Directors shall place the annual report on file at the principal office of the Company and with any governmental agencies as may be required by law and as the Directors may deem appropriate.

 

(b)                                 Not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) quarterly periods of each fiscal year, the Directors shall deliver or cause to be delivered an interim report to the Stockholders containing unaudited financial statements for such quarter and for the period from the beginning of the fiscal year to the end of such quarter, and such further information as the Directors may determine is required pursuant to any law or regulation to which the Company is subject or is deemed desirable.

The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any Stockholder who is present.

 

SECTION 14. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a unanimous consent in writing, setting forth such action, is signed by each Stockholder entitled to vote on the matter and any other Stockholder entitled to notice of a meeting of Stockholders (but not to vote thereat) has waived in writing any right to dissent from such action, and such consent and waiver are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Stockholders.

 

SECTION 15. NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS.

(1)                                  Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the Stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of Stockholders: (i) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board; or (iii) by any Stockholder of the Company who was a Stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 15(a), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 15(a).

 

(2)                                  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a)(l) of this Section 15, the Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a Stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 45 days before the date on which the Company first mailed its notice of meeting and accompanying proxy materials for the prior year’s annual meeting of Stockholders. Such Stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (i) as to each person whom the Stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such Stockholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the Stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, the name and address of such Stockholder, as they appear on the Company’s books, and that of such beneficial owner, and the class and number of Shares which are owned beneficially and of record by such beneficial owner and such Stockholder.

 



 

(3)                                  Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 15 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Company at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a Stockholder’s notice required by this Section 15(a) shall also he considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.

 

(b)                               Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of Stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of Stockholders at which Directors are to be elected: (i) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board; or (iii) provided that the Board has determined that Directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any Stockholder of the Company who is a Stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 15(b), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 15(b). In the event the Company calls for a special meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more Directors to the Board, any such Stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position as specified in the Company’s notice of meeting, if the Stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 15 shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting.

 

(c)                                Access to Records. Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof shall be permitted access to all records of the Company at all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of them for purposes specified below. Inspection of the Company’s books and records by a state securities administrator shall be provided upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours at the business office of the Company. In addition, an alphabetical list of names, addresses and business telephone numbers of the Stockholders of the Company along with the number of Shares held by each of them (the “Stockholder List”) shall be maintained and updated quarterly as part of the books and records of the Company and shall be available for inspection by any Stockholder or the Stockholder’s designated agent at the business office of the Company upon the request of the Stockholder. A copy of the Stockholder List shall be mailed to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List within ten days of the request. The copy of the Stockholder List shall be printed in alphabetical order, on white paper, and in a readily readable type size (in no event smaller than 10-point type). The Company may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproducing such list. The permitted purposes for which a Stockholder may request a copy of the Stockholder List include, without limitation, matters relating to Stockholders’ voting rights under the Articles and the exercise of Stockholders’ rights under federal proxy laws and regulations. If the advisor of the Company (the “Advisor”) or the Directors neglect or refuse to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the Stockholder List as requested in accordance with and as required by applicable law and the Articles, the Advisor and the Directors shall be liable to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List, for the costs,

 



 

including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by that Stockholder for compelling the production of the Stockholder List, and for actual damages suffered by any Stockholder by reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be a defense to such liability that the actual purpose and reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the Stockholder List is to secure such list of Stockholders or other information for the purpose of selling such Stockholder List or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose or other purpose not in the interest of the applicant as a Stockholder relative to the affairs of the Company. The Company may require the Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List to represent that the Stockholder List is not requested for a commercial purpose unrelated to the Stockholder’s interest in the Company. The remedies provided hereunder to Stockholders requesting copies of the Stockholder List arc in addition to, and shall not in any way limit, other remedies available to Stockholders under federal law, or the laws of any state.

 

(d)                               General.

 

(1)                                  Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 15 shall be eligible to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of Stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 15. The presiding officer of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 15 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 15, to declare that such defective nomination or business proposal be disregarded.

 

(2)                                  For purposes of this Section 15, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release prepared by or on behalf of the Company and reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(3)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, a Stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 15. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be deemed to affect any rights of Stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in any of the Company’s proxy statements pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of Stockholders, not less than ten days, before the date on which the meeting or particular action requiring such determination of Stockholders is to be held or taken.

When a determination of Stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 6, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired.

 

SECTION 7. TRANSFERS OF SHARES. Shares of the Company may be transferred by delivery of the certificates therefor, accompanied either by an assignment in writing on the back of the certificates, or by written power of attorney to sell, assign and transfer the same, signed by the record holder thereof; but no transfer shall affect the right of the Company to pay any distribution upon the Shares to the holder of record thereof, or to treat the holder of record as the holder in fact thereof for all purposes, and no transfer shall be valid, except between the parties thereto, until such transfer shall have been made upon the books of the Company.

Such reimbursements are subject to limitations imposed by Sections 10(b) and (c) hereof;

 

d)              An Incentive Advisory Fee equal to 15% of the remaining proceeds from the sale of Real Properties after the Stockholders have first received: (i) their Cumulative Return; and (ii) the return of their Invested Capital. At such time as the business of the Advisor is acquired by or consolidated into the Company pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the Incentive Advisory Fee shall also terminate;

 

e)              A Property Disposition Fee, payable upon the sale of a Real Property equal to the lesser of: (i) 3% of the contracted for sales price of the Real Property or (ii) 50% of the commission paid to third parties which is reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of such property (“Competitive Real Estate Commission”). The amount paid to the Advisor, when added to the sums paid to unaffiliated parties, shall not exceed the lesser of the Competitive Real Estate Commission or an amount equal to 6% of the contracted for sales price. Payment of such Property Disposition Fee shall be made only if the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of the particular parcel(s) of Real Property; and

 

f)                The compensation and reimbursements paid by the Company to the Advisor and its Affiliates shall be approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors), as being fair and reasonable to the Company and not less favorable to the Company than would be available from an unaffiliated source.

 

10.                               COMPENSATION FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES, CERTAIN LIMITATIONS.

 

a)              If the Company shall request the Advisor or its Affiliates to render services for the Company other than those required to be rendered by the Advisor hereunder, such additional services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon between such party and the Company from time to time in accordance with this Section. The rate of compensation for such services and any reimbursements to be paid by the Company to the Advisor and its Affiliates

 

10



 

shall be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, as being fair and reasonable to the Company and not less favorable to the Company than would be available from an unaffiliated source.

 

b)              In extraordinary circumstances fully justified to the official or agency administering the appropriate state securities laws, the Advisor and its Affiliates may provide other goods and services to the Company if all of the following criteria are met:

 

i)                            the goods or services must be necessary to the prudent operation of the Company;

 

ii)                        the compensation, price or fee must be equal to the lesser of 90% of the compensation, price or fee the Company would be required to pay to independent parties who are rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods on competitive terms in the same geographic location, or 90% of the compensation, price or fee charged by the Advisor or its Affiliates for rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods on competitive terms; and

 

iii)                    if at least 95% of gross revenues attributable to the business of rendering such services or selling or leasing such goods are derived from persons other than Affiliates, the compensation, price or fee charged by an unaffiliated person who is rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods must be on competitive terms in the same geographic location. Extraordinary circumstances shall be presumed only when there is an emergency situation requiring immediate action by the Advisor or its Affiliates and the goods or services are not immediately available from unaffiliated parties. Services which may be performed in such extraordinary circumstances include emergency maintenance of Company properties, janitorial and other related services due to strikes or lockouts, emergency tenant evictions and repair services which require immediate action, as well as operating and releasing properties with respect to which the leases are in default or have been terminated.

 

c)              Permitted reimbursements shall include salaries and related salary expenses for nonsupervisory services which could be performed directly for the Company by independent parties such as legal, accounting, transfer agent, data processing and duplication. The Advisor believes that the employees of the Advisor and its Affiliates who may perform services for the Company for which reimbursement is allowed pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(c), will have the experience and educational background, in their respective fields of expertise, appropriate for the performance of any such services.

11.                               STATEMENTS.  The Advisor shall furnish to the Company not later than the 10th day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the second calendar quarter of the term of this Agreement, a statement showing the computation of any Advisor Asset Management Fee payable to it during such quarter under Section 9 hereof. The Advisor shall furnish to the Company not later than the 30th day following the end of each Fiscal Year, a statement showing a computation of: (i) the Incentive Advisory Fee, if any, payable in respect of such Fiscal Year under Section 9 hereof; and (ii) the fees or other compensation payable to the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor with respect to such Fiscal Year under Sections 9 and 10 hereof. The final settlement or compensation payable under Sections 9 and 10 hereof for each Fiscal Year shall be subject to adjustments in accordance with, and upon completion of, the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements.

 

12.                               BUSINESS COMBINATION OF THE COMPANY AND THE ADVISOR.

 

a)              From and after September 15, 2008, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the entire business, affairs, operations and assets of the Advisor (collectively, the “Advisor’s Business”) in whatever form agreed upon between the Company and the Advisor (a “Business Combination”), as set forth in writing between them (“Merger Agreement”). If the Company desires to acquire the Advisor’s Business in a Business Combination, the Company shall send a written notice to the Advisor to that effect (“Election Notice”).  Any agreement with respect to a Business Combination shall contain provisions providing for: (i) the termination of this Agreement and all Advisory Agreements entered into pursuant hereto and the release or waiver of all fees payable by the Company to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements (except for the payment of fees due and payable under the Advisory Agreements for services rendered by the Advisor up to and until the consummation of the Business Combination); and (ii) the issuance of a certain number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined below (the “Shares”) to be issued to the Advisor, or its stockholders, members or other equity holders, as the case may be, in connection with the Business Combination. The Advisor represents to the Company that the Advisor has obtained the consent of its board of directors and its shareholders to a Business Combination with the Company and that Advisor will obtain similar consents from any future shareholders, members or other equity holders of the Advisor.

 

b)              The number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Advisor or its shareholders, members or other equity holders as the case may be, shall be determined as follows: The net income of the Advisor for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Merger Agreement is executed, as determined by an independent audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, shall be annualized (the “Annual Net Income”). The Annual Net Income shall then be multiplied by ninety percent (90%) and then divided by the “Funds from Operations per Weighted Average Share” of the Company.  “Funds from Operations per Weighted Average Share” shall be equal to the annualized Funds from Operations, on the basis of four (4) times the Funds from Operations for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the

 

12



 

month in which the Merger Agreement is executed, per weighted average Share of the Company for such quarter as stated in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the Company given to its shareholders for such quarter.  The resulting quotient shall constitute the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Advisor or its shareholders, members or other equity holders as the case may be, with delivery thereof and the closing of the Business Combination to occur within ninety (90) days after the date the Election Notice is given to Advisor.  Any such transaction will occur, if at all, only if the Board of Directors of the Company obtains a fairness opinion from an investment banking or valuation firm to the effect that the consideration to be paid for the Business Combination is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

 

13.                               EXPENSES OF THE COMPANY.  The Company shall pay all of its expenses and shall reimburse the Advisor for its expenses as provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the following expenses of the Company shall be paid by the Company:

 

a)              To the extent the Advisor is not expressly required to pay such expenses pursuant to this Agreement, salaries and other employment expenses of the personnel employed by the Company, Directors’ fees and expenses incurred in attending Directors meetings, travel and other expenses incurred by Directors, officers and employees of the Company and the cost of Directors’ liability insurance;

 

b)              The cost of borrowed moneys;

 

c)              All taxes applicable to the Company;

 

d)              Legal, accounting, auditing, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the organization or termination of the Company, the issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and stock exchange or quotation system listing of the Company’s securities;

 

e)              Fees and expenses paid to advisors, independent contractors, the Management Agent, consultants, managers and other agents employed directly by the Company or by the Advisor at the Company’s request for the account of the Company or by Affiliates of the Advisor, as provided above;

 

f)                Expenses in connection with the acquisition, disposition, leasing and ownership of investments, including to the extent not paid by others, but not limited to, legal fees and other expenses of professional services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property and brokerage and sales commissions, expenses of maintaining and managing Real Property equity interests (including the fees and charges of the Management Agent);

 

g)             All insurance costs incurred in connection with the Company;

 

13



 

h)             Expenses connected with payments of dividends or interest or distributions in cash or in any form made or caused to be made by the Board of Directors to holders of securities of the Company;

 

i)                All expenses connected with communications to holders of securities of the Company and the other bookkeeping and clerical work necessary in maintaining relations with holders of securities and in complying with the continuous reporting and other requirements of governmental bodies or agencies, including the cost of printing and mailing certificates for securities and proxy solicitation materials and reports to holders of the Company’s securities;

 

j)                Transfer agent and registrar’s fees and charges; and

 

k)            Expenses relating to any office or office facilities maintained by the Company separate from the office or offices of the Advisor.

 

14.                               REIMBURSEMENT BY ADVISOR.  The Advisor shall be obligated to reimburse the Company in the following circumstances:

 

a)              On or before the 15th day after the completion of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements for each Fiscal Year, the Advisor will reimburse the Company for the amounts, if any, (i) by which the Total Operating Expenses (including the Advisor Asset Management Fee) of the Company for such Fiscal Year exceeded the greater of: (a) 2% of the total of the Company’s Average Invested Assets for such Fiscal Year; or (b) 25% of the Net Income for such Fiscal Year; PLUS (ii) equal to any deficit between the total amount of distributions to Stockholders for such Fiscal Year and the Current Return; provided, however, that the Company may instead permit such reimbursements to be effected by a reduction in the amount of the monthly payments of compensation under Section 9(a) hereof during the balance of the Fiscal Year next following the Fiscal Year with respect to which such reimbursement is to be made; and provided, further, that only so much of such excess specified in clause (i) of this paragraph  (a) need be reimbursed as the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors of the Company, shall determine should justifiably be reimbursed in light of such unanticipated, unusual or nonrecurring factors as may have occurred within 60 days after the end of an fiscal quarter of the Company for which Total Operating Expenses  (for the 12 months then ended) exceeded 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income, whichever is greater, and there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that such higher Total Operating Expenses were justified.

 

b)              If the aggregate of all Offering Expenses attendant to the Offering (including Selling Commissions and the Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance) should exceed 15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds OR if the aggregate of all Offering Expenses (excluding any Selling Commissions)

 

14



 

should exceed 5.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the Advisor shall pay directly and/or cause its Affiliates to pay directly any such excess Offering Expenses incurred by the Company and the Company will have no liability for such excess expenses.

 

15.                               OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR.  Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor from engaging in any other business or activity including the rendering of services and investment advice with respect to real estate investment opportunities to any other person or entity and the management of other investments (including the investments of the Advisor and its Affiliates).

 

Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Advisor or of Affiliates of the Advisor may serve as Directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Company, but shall receive no compensation (other than reimbursement for expenses) from the Company for such service.

 

16.                               TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall have an initial term of one year and, thereafter, will continue in force for successive one year renewals with the mutual consent of the parties including an affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors. Each extension shall be executed in writing by both parties hereto before the expiration of this Agreement or of any extension thereof.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, either the Company or the Advisor may terminate this Agreement, or any extension hereof, or the parties by mutual consent or a majority of the Independent Directors may do so, in each case upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty. In the event of the termination of the Agreement, the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

 

This Agreement shall terminate upon the consummation of a business combination involving the Advisor and the Company as described in Section 12.

 

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Section 19.

 

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a business combination involving the Advisor and the Company as described in Section 12, all obligations of the Advisor and its Affiliates to offer Property to the Company for purchase, as described in Section 2(a), shall also terminate.

 

15



 

17.                               ASSIGNMENTS.  The Company may terminate this Agreement in the event of its assignment by the Advisor except an assignment to a successor organization which acquires substantially all of the property and carries on the affairs of the Advisor, provided that following such assignment the persons who controlled the operations of the Advisor immediately prior thereto all control the operations of the successor organization, including the performance of its duties under this Agreement; however, if at any time subsequent to such assignment such persons shall cease to control the operations of the successor organization, the Company may thereupon terminate this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of assignment by the Company to a corporation, trust or other organization which is a successor to the Company. Any assignment of this Agreement shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the assignor is bound hereunder.

 

18.                               DEFAULT, BANKRUPTCY, ETC.  At the option solely of the Company, this Agreement shall be terminated immediately upon written notice of termination from the Board of Directors to the Advisor if any of the following events occurs:

 

a)              The Advisor violates any provisions of this Agreement and after notice of such violation shall not cure such default within 30 days; or

 

b)              A court of competent jurisdiction enters a decree or order for relief in respect of the Advisor in any involuntary case under the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoints a receiver liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Advisor or for any substantial part of its property or orders the winding up or liquidation of the Advisor’s affairs; or

 

c)              The Advisor commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Advisor or for any substantial part of its property, or makes any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due.

 

The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in subsections(b) and (c) of this Section 18 occur, it will give written notice thereof to the Company within seven days after the occurrence of such event.

 

19.                               ACTION UPON TERMINATION.  The Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation after the date of termination of this Agreement for further services hereunder, but shall be paid all compensation accruing to the date of termination.

16



 

a)              Pay over to the Company all moneys collected and held for the account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

d)              Cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps requested by the Company to assist the Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of the Advisory function.

 

20.                               CHANGE OF NAME.  The Company recognizes that the name and mark “Inland” have established prestige and goodwill and have acquired valuable secondary meanings in the real estate and related industries and in the mind of the public. The Company desires to associate itself with and benefit from the “Inland” name, and in consideration of the grant by the Advisor and its Affiliates of a perpetual royalty free license to the Company (which license has been authorized), subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 20, to use the name and mark “Inland” in connection with a real estate investment trust throughout the United States, its territories and possessions, the Company agrees that:

 

a)              The value of the “Inland” name cannot be reasonably and adequately compensated for in damages in action at law and unauthorized use of the “Inland” name will cause irreparable injury and damage to the Advisor and its Affiliates. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall be entitled as a matter of right to injunctive relief to prevent the use of the “Inland” name by the Company in the event of the circumstances described in Subsection (d) below.

 

b)              The Company agrees to use the “Inland” name and mark in a manner which will protect the right of the Advisor and its Affiliates therein and such use shall be as licensee for the account and benefit of the Advisor and its Affiliates. To the extent any rights in the name or mark “Inland” are deemed to accrue to the Company, the Company hereby assigns any and all such rights to the Advisor and its Affiliates at such time as they may be deemed to accrue.

 

c)              Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed an assignment or grant to the Company of any right, title or interest in or to the name or mark “Inland” or any other trademarks, trade names or related service marks, insignias, logos, designs and color schemes, it being understood that all rights relating thereto are reserved by the Advisor and its Affiliates, except for the license hereunder to the Company of the rights to use the name or mark as specifically and expressly provided herein. The Company agrees to cooperate fully and in good faith with the Advisor and its Affiliates, at the expense of the Advisor and its Affiliates, in

 

17



 

securing and preserving the rights of the Advisor and its Affiliates in and to the name and mark “Inland” and to assist the Advisor and its Affiliates in executing and causing to be recorded such documents as may be necessary or desirable to evidence, protect and implement the rights of the Advisor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.

 

d)              At such time as the Advisor is no longer providing services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for some reason other than the consummation of a business combination described in Section 12, the Board of Directors will upon the request of the Advisor and its Affiliates, promptly cause the name of the Company to be changed in perpetuity to a name which does not include any reference to the name “Inland” or any successor thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon termination of this Agreement by either party for some reason other than the consummation of a business combination described in Section 12, the Board of Directors will promptly cause the name of the Company to be changed in perpetuity to a name which does not include any references to the name “Inland” or any successor thereof.

 

21.                               AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement shall not be amended, changed, modified, terminated or discharged in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or assigns, or otherwise provided herein.

 

22.                               SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto as herein provided.

 

23.                               GOVERNING LAW.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois as at the time in effect.

 

24.                               LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

 

a)              The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with Section 2418 of the General Corporation Law of Maryland, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses to the Advisor and its Affiliates, provided, that: (i) the Advisor or other party seeking indemnification has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company; (ii) the Advisor or other person seeking indemnification was acting on behalf of or performing services on the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the indemnified party; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the Stockholders thereof.

 

b)              The Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following

 

18



 

conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered and sold with respect to the availability or propriety of indemnification for securities law violations.

 

c)              The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the indemnified part for or on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and  (iii) the indemnified party receiving such advances undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in any case(s) in which such party is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

25.                               NOTICES.  Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to whom it is given and shall be given by being delivered at the following addresses of the parties hereto:

12



 

month in which the Merger Agreement is executed, per weighted average Share of the Company for such quarter as stated in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the Company given to its shareholders for such quarter.

a)     Pay over to the Company all moneys collected and held for the account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

 

b)     Deliver to the Board of Directors a full accounting, including a statement, showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board of Directors;

 

c)     Deliver to the Board of Directors all property and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and

 

d)     Cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps requested by the Company to assist the Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of the Advisory function.

 

20.          CHANGE OF NAME. The Company recognizes that the name and mark “Inland” have established prestige and goodwill and have acquired valuable secondary meanings in the real estate and related industries and in the mind of the public. The Company desires to associate itself with and benefit from the “Inland” name, and in consideration of the grant by the Advisor and its Affiliates of a perpetual royalty free license to the Company (which license has been authorized), subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 20, to use the name and mark “Inland” in connection with a real estate investment trust throughout the United States, its territories and possessions, the Company agrees that:

 

a)     The value of the “Inland” name cannot be reasonably and adequately compensated for in damages in action at law and unauthorized use of the “Inland” name will cause irreparable injury and damage to the Advisor and its Affiliates. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall be entitled as a matter of right to injunctive relief to prevent the use of the “Inland” name by the Company in the event of the circumstances described in Subsection (d) below.

 

b)     The Company agrees to use the “Inland” name and mark in a manner which will protect the right of the Advisor and its Affiliates therein and such use shall be as licensee for the account and benefit of the Advisor and its Affiliates. To the extent any rights in the name or mark “Inland” are deemed to accrue to the Company, the Company hereby assigns any and all such rights to the Advisor and its Affiliates at such time as they may be deemed to accrue.

 

c)     Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed an assignment or grant to the Company of any right, title or interest in or to the name or mark “Inland” or any other trademarks, trade names or related service marks, insignias, logos, designs and color schemes, it being understood that all rights relating thereto are reserved by the Advisor and its Affiliates, except for the license hereunder to the Company of the rights to use the name or mark as specifically and expressly provided herein. The Company agrees to cooperate fully and in good faith with the Advisor and its Affiliates, at the expense of the Advisor and its Affiliates, in

 

17



 

securing and preserving the rights of the Advisor and its Affiliates in and to the name and mark “Inland” and to assist the Advisor and its Affiliates in executing and causing to be recorded such documents as may be necessary or desirable to evidence, protect and implement the rights of the Advisor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.

 

d)     At such time as the Advisor is no longer providing services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for some reason other than the consummation of a business combination described in Section 12, the Board of Directors will upon the request of the Advisor and its Affiliates, promptly cause the name of the Company to be changed in perpetuity to a name which does not include any reference to the name “Inland” or any successor thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon termination of this Agreement by either party for some reason other than the consummation of a business combination described in Section 12, the Board of Directors will promptly cause the name of the Company to be changed in perpetuity to a name which does not include any references to the name ‘‘Inland” or any successor thereof.

 

21.          AMENDMENTS. This Agreement shall not be amended, changed, modified, terminated or discharged in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or assigns, or otherwise provided herein.

 

22.          SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto as herein provided.

 

23.          GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois as at the time in effect.

 

24.          LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

 

a)     The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with Section 2418 of the General Corporation Law of Maryland, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses to the Advisor and its Affiliates, provided, that: (i) the Advisor or other party seeking indemnification has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company; (ii) the Advisor or other person seeking indemnification was acting on behalf of or performing services on the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the indemnified party; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the Stockholders thereof.

 

b)     The Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following

 

18



 

conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered and sold with respect to the availability or propriety of indemnification for securities law violations.

 

c)     The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the indemnified part for or on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the indemnified party receiving such advances undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in any case(s) in which such party is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

25.          NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to whom it is given and shall be given by being delivered at the following addresses of the parties hereto:

WHEREAS, the Advisor and the Company arc parties to a certain advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), dated the date hereof; and

 

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally has responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company, administers the Company’s bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as the Company’s consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”), manages or

 



 

causes to be managed by another party the Company’s properties and renders other services as the Directors deem appropriate; the Advisor is subject to the supervision of the Directors and has only such functions as are delegated to it by the Directors; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Advisor and Acquisitions are all affiliates; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and in consideration of the expense reimbursement provisions set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Incorporation of Recitals. By this reference, the recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

 

2.                                       Definitions. The following capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

 

(a)                                  “Market Area” shall mean the geographic area located west of the Mississippi River in the continental United States but excluding that portion of such geographic area located within a four hundred (400) mile radius of Oak Brook, Illinois.

 

(b)                                 “Retail Facility” shall mean real estate improved for use as a multi-tenant shopping center with gross leasable retail area of not less than 50,000 square feet and not more than 300,000 square feet.

 

(c)                                  “Mixed-Use Property” shall mean real estate, other than a Retail Facility or a Single-User Property, improved for use as a combination of two or more of (a) multi-family use, (b) office use, and (c) retail facility use, provided such real estate contains gross leasable retail area of not less than 50,000 square feet and not more than 300,000 square feet.

(e)                                  “Subject Property” shall mean any Retail Facility, Mixed-Use Property or Single-User Property identified by Acquisitions and located within the Market Area.

 

3.                                       Right of First Refusal. For and during the term of this Agreement, Acquisitions hereby grants to the Company an exclusive right of first refusal to acquire each and every Subject Property identified by Acquisitions, and, until the occurrence of a Right of First Refusal Termination Event (hereinafter defined) with respect to an applicable Subject Property, Acquisitions covenants and agrees that it shall not (a) present or offer for sale such Subject Property to, (b) forward any information regarding the potential acquisition of such Subject Property to, or (c) pursue the acquisition of any such Subject Property on behalf or for the benefit of, any of its clients other than the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 3 shall not apply to either (i) the Acquisition of an Operating Company (hereinafter defined), regardless of whether the Operating Company owns, directly or indirectly, a Subject Property, or (ii) the acquisition (in a manner described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Acquisition of an Operating Company” below) of any entity that owns, directly or indirectly, in addition to Subject Properties, other real estate located outside the

Upon Acquisitions’ identification of a Subject Property, Acquisitions shall deliver to the Company written notice (in form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit A, each a “Property Notice”) that Acquisitions has identified, or entered into a letter of intent or acquisition agreement with respect to, the applicable Subject Property. The Company shall have ten (10) business days after the date of its receipt of a Property Notice (the “Notice Period”) to inform Acquisitions in writing (a “Company Notice”) whether the Company has elected to pursue the acquisition of the applicable Subject Property. Upon the occurrence of a Right of First Refusal Termination Event, the Company shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights under this Section 3 to acquire the Subject Property, including any corporate opportunity with respect to the particular Subject Property. In the event that the right of first refusal contained in this Section 3 shall not apply as provided in clause (ii) above, then Acquisitions shall determine, in good faith, an equitable manner for addressing any potential corporate opportunity issues that may arise with respect to the Subject Properties owned by the acquired entity. Except as provided above, Acquisitions will not grant a right of first refusal to any other person or entity (or Subject Properties owned by such entity) that are excluded as a result of clause (ii) above from the right of first refusal contained in Section 3. The Company shall upon request provide Acquisitions with reasonable evidence (i.e., a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company) setting forth the authority of certain officers of the Company to make decisions in regards to responding to Property Notices and the acquisition of Subject Properties. If the Company delivers to Acquisitions a Company Notice pursuant to which the Company elects to pursue the acquisition of a Subject Property, but thereafter the Company determines not to pursue such acquisition, then the Company shall deliver to Acquisitions written notice of same (each, a “Property Termination Notice”).

 

The Company’s election, whether in response to or at any time after its receipt of a Property Notice, not to pursue the acquisition of a particular Subject Property shall not affect or impair any of the Company’s rights set forth in this Agreement with respect to any other Subject Property or other property that could thereafter constitute a Subject Property.

 

For the purposes hereof, the term “Right of First Refusal Termination Event” shall mean the first to occur of (i) the Company’s failure to deliver to Acquisitions a Company Notice prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, (ii) the Company’s delivery to Acquisitions of a Company Notice pursuant to which the Company elects not to pursue the acquisition of a Subject Property, and (iii) at any time after the expiration of the Notice Period, the Company’s delivery to Acquisitions of a Property Termination Notice or the Company’s failure to diligently pursue the acquisition of a Subject Property.

 

For the purposes hereof, the term “Acquisition of an Operating Company” shall mean the acquisition of an Operating Company (hereinafter defined) (i) by purchasing stock or other equity interest in the entity or by merger or other business combination or reorganization, or tender offer, (ii) by acquisition of all or substantially all of an Operating Company’s assets (provided that the excluded assets do not comprise all or substantially all of such Operating Company’s non-real property or other non-real estate assets), or (iii) by obtaining management control of such Operating Company, through its board of directors or other comparable management position, such as, without limitation, managing general partner or managing member.

 

3



 

For the purposes hereof, the term “Operating Company” shall mean (a) any entity that has equity securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or files periodic reports under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (b) any entity that, cither itself or through its subsidiaries:

(b)                                 Has a policy or purpose of reinvesting sale, financing or refinancing proceeds or cash from operations;

 

(c)                                  Has its own directors, managers or managing general partners, as applicable; and

 

(d)                                 Either (i) has its own officers and employees that, on a daily basis, actively operate such entity and its subsidiaries and businesses, or (ii) has retained the services of an affiliate or sponsor of, or advisor to, such entity to, on a daily basis, actively operate such entity and its subsidiaries and businesses.

 

To the extent possible, the resolution of conflicting investment opportunities between the Company and other investment entities advised or managed by the Advisor and its affiliates shall be resolved by giving priority to the Company, provided that the Proposed Property meets the acquisition criteria of the Company. The Company shall have the first opportunity to purchase such Proposed Property placed under contract by Acquisitions, the Advisor or its affiliates, provided the Company is able to close the purchase of the Proposed Property within 60 days.

 

4.                                       Acquisition Agreements. Acquisitions may, from time to time, enter into a letter of intent or other acquisition agreement with respect to a Subject Property in its own name to facilitate, among other things, the offer to, and possible purchase by, the Company of the applicable Subject Property. In any such case, if the Company exercises its right of first refusal with respect to and elects to pursue the acquisition of an applicable Subject Property, and the Company is willing to enter into an agreement to acquire such Subject Property, then, upon the Company’s request, Acquisitions shall assign the letter of intent or other acquisition agreement to the Company or its designee.

 

5.                                       Compensation. Acquisitions shall be paid for services rendered by Acquisitions under this Agreement as follows:

 

(a)                                  the Company shall reimburse Acquisitions in full for all Acquisition Expenses (as defined below) incurred by Acquisitions on behalf of the Company in connection with its performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, the total of all Acquisition Expenses paid by the Company in connection with the purchase of a Subject Property by the Company may not exceed an amount equal to [3%] of the Contract Price for the Property (as defined below);

 

(b)                                 “Acquisition Expenses” means expenses related to the selection, evaluation and acquisition of, and investment in, properties, whether or not acquired or made,

(c)                                  “Contract Price for the Property” means the amount actually paid or allocated to the purchase of a Subject Property exclusive of Acquisition Expenses.

 

6.                                       No Partnership or Joint Venture. The Parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, agency, franchise or joint venture relationship between the Parties.

This term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until the earlier to occur of (a) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement, and (b) the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(c)                                  Any person or group of related persons for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (other than any one or more of the Inland Companies) shall become the owner, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, of shares of the Company representing more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company; or

 

(d)                                 Following any change in the composition of the board of directors of the Company, a majority of the board of directors of the Company arc not a combination of either (i) members of the board of directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (ii) members of the board of directors of the Company whose nomination for election or election to the board of directors of the Company has been recommended, approved or ratified by at least eighty percent (80%) of the board of directors of the Company then in office who were either members of the board of directors of the Company as of the date

hereof or whose election as a member of the board of directors of the Company was previously so approved pursuant to this clause (ii), or (iii) members of the board of directors of the Company who have been elected pursuant to a proxy consent solicitation other than in connection with a business combination transaction that would otherwise result in a “Change in Control” under clauses (a) or (c) above.

 

8.                                       Business Combination Of Either Company And Its Advisor. From and after September 15, 2008, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the entire business, affairs, operations and assets of the Advisor (collectively, the “Advisory’s Business”) in whatever form agreed upon between the Company and the Advisor (a “Business Combination”), as set forth in writing between them (“Merger Agreement”). If the Company desires to acquire the Advisor’s Business in a Business Combination, the Company shall send a written notice to the Advisor to that effect (“Election Notice”). Any agreement with respect to a Business Combination shall contain provisions providing for: (i) the termination of this Agreement and all Advisory Agreements entered into pursuant hereto and the release or waiver of all fees payable by the Company to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements (except for the payment of fees due and payable under the Advisory Agreements for services rendered by the Advisor up to and until the consummation of the Business Combination); and (ii) the issuance of a certain number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined below (the “Shares”) to be issued to the Advisor, or its stockholders, members or other equity holders, as the case may be, in connection with the Business Combination. The Advisor represents to the Company that the Advisor has obtained the consent of its board of directors and its shareholders to a Business Combination with the Company and that Advisor will obtain similar consents from any future shareholders, members or other equity holders of the Advisor.

 

The number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Advisor or its shareholders, members or other equity holders as the case may be, shall be determined as follows: The net income of the Advisor for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Merger Agreement is executed, as determined by an independent audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, shall be annualized (the “Annual Net Income”). The Annual Net Income shall then be multiplied by ninety percent (90%) and then divided by the “Funds from Operations per Weighted Average Share” of the Company. “Funds from Operations per Weighted Average Share” shall be equal to the annualized Funds from Operations, on the basis of four (4) times the Funds from Operations for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the month in which the Merger Agreement is executed, per weighted average Share of the Company for such quarter as stated in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the Company given to its shareholders for such quarter. The resulting quotient shall constitute the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Advisor or its shareholders, members or other equity holders as the case may be, with delivery thereof and the closing of the Business Combination to occur within ninety (90) days after the date the Election Notice is given to Advisor. Any such transaction will occur, if at all, only if the Board of Directors of the Company obtains a fairness opinion from an investment banking or valuation firm to the effect that the consideration to be paid for the Business Combination is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

 

9.                                       Assignments. This Agreement may not be assigned except with the written consent of each Party hereto, except in the case of assignment by a Party to a corporation, trust or

 

6



 

other organization which is a successor to such Party. Any assignment of this Agreement shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the assignor is bound hereunder.

 

10.                                 Amendments. This Agreement shall not be amended, changed, modified, terminated or discharged in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing signed by each Party hereto or their respective successors or assigns.

 

11.                                 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the Parties hereto as herein provided.

 

12.                               Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois.

 

13.                               Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered: (i) when delivered personally or by commercial messenger; (ii) one business day following deposit with a recognized overnight courier service, provided such deposit occurs prior to the deadline imposed by such service for overnight delivery; (iii) when transmitted, if sent by facsimile copy, provided confirmation of receipt is received by sender and such notice is sent by an additional method provided hereunder, in each case above provided such communication is addressed to the intended recipient thereof as set forth below:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Holder at Holder’s Address or such other place as Holder may from time to time designate, the Loan Amount with interest payable in the manner described below, in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of all obligations.

 

Capitalized terms which are not defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Deed of Trust.

 

1.                                       Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest under this Note shall be payable as follows:

 

(a)                                  Commencing on the first day of the second calendar month following the Advance Date (assuming stub interest for the month of closing of the Loan is paid on the Execution Date) and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, to and including the first day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay the Monthly Installment; and

 

(b)                                 On the Maturity Date, a final payment in the aggregate amount of the unpaid principal sum evidenced by this Note, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other sums evidenced by this Note or secured by the Deed of Trust and/or any other Loan Documents as well as any future advances under the Deed of Trust that may be made to or on behalf of Borrower by Holder following the Advance Date (collectively, the “Secured Indebtedness”), shall become immediately payable in full.

 

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a substantial portion of the original Loan Amount may be outstanding and due on the Maturity Date.

 

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, except that (i) if the Advance Date occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, interest payable for the period commencing on the Advance Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Advance Date occurs shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable, and (ii) if the Maturity Date occurs on a date other than the last day of the month, interest payable for the period commencing on the first day of the month in which the Maturity Date occurs and ending on the Maturity Date shall he calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable.

 

2.                                       Application of Payments. At the election of Holder, and to the extent permitted by law, all payments shall be applied in the order selected by Holder to any expenses, prepayment fees, late charges, escrow deposits and other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and to unpaid interest at the Interest Rate or at the Default Rate, as applicable. The balance of any payments shall be applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount.

 

3.                                       Security. The covenants of the Deed of Trust are incorporated by reference into this Note. This Note shall evidence, and the Deed of Trust shall secure the Secured Indebtedness and the Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Other Note) under the Other Note.

 

4.                                       Late Charge. If any payment of interest, any payment of a Monthly Installment or any payment of a required escrow deposit is not paid within 7 days of the due date, Holder shall have the option to charge Borrower the Late Charge. The Late Charge is for the purpose of defraying the expenses incurred in connection with

 

2



 

handling and processing delinquent payments and is payable in addition to any other remedy Holder may have. Unpaid Late Charges shall become part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be added to any subsequent payments due under the Loan Documents.

 

5.                                       Acceleration Upon Default. At the option of Holder, if Borrower fails to pay any sum specified in this Note within 7 days of the due date, or if an Event of Default occurs, the Secured Indebtedness, and all other sums evidenced and/or secured by the Loan Documents, including without limitation any applicable prepayment fees (collectively, the “Accelerated Loan Amount”) shall become immediately due and payable.

 

6.                                       Interest Upon Default. The Accelerated Loan Amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate which shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be contracted for under the Jaws of the State of Texas. The Default Rate shall commence upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall continue until all defaults are cured.

 

7.                                       Limitation on Interest.

 

(a)                                  Sayings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Holder at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on this Note or the Related Indebtedness (as herein defined) (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to this Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Holder related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Holder’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Holder will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Holder’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Holder shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness without payment of the Prepayment Fee (or, if this Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of this Note, then Borrower and Holder agree that Holder shall, with reasonable promptness after Holder discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against this Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Holder without payment of the Prepayment Fee, Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Holder, Borrower will provide written notice to Holder, advising Holder in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Holder shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Holder without payment of the Prepayment Fee. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Holder to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration,

 

(b)                                 Definitions. As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Holder in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if

 

3



 

any, Contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Holder in connection with the transactions relating to this Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used herein, the term “Related Indebtedness” shall mean any and all debt paid or payable by Borrower to Holder pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Holder related to the transaction or transactions that arc the subject matter of the Loan Documents, except such debt which has been paid or is payable by Borrower to Holder under this Note.

 

(c)                                  Ceiling Election. To the extent that Holder is relying on Chapter 1D of the Texas Credit Title to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, Holder will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 1D, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Holder will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 1D for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Holder may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 1D or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

 

8.                                       Prepayment. Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Loan Amount at any time during the term of this Note except as expressly set forth in the Defined Terms. If Borrower provides notice of its intention to prepay, the Accelerated Loan Amount shall become due and payable on the date specified in the prepayment notice. In addition to the above limitations upon prepayment, this Note may not be prepaid without the simultaneous prepayment of the Other Note in accordance with its terms.

 

9.                                       Prepayment Fee.

 

(a)                                  Any tender of payment by Borrower or any other person or entity of the Secured Indebtedness, other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, shall constitute a prohibited prepayment. If a prepayment of all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness is made following (i) an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Maturity Date, or (ii) in connection with a purchase of the Property or a repayment of the Secured Indebtedness at any time before, during or after, a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or sale of the Property, then to compensate Holder for the loss of the investment, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee (as hereinafter defined).

 

(b)                                 The “Prepayment Fee” shall be the greater of (A) the Prepayment Ratio (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the difference between (x) and (y), where (x) is the present value of all remaining payments of principal and interest including the outstanding principal due on the Maturity Date, discounted at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate plus fifty basis points (.5%) compounded semi-annually, and (y) is the amount of the principal then outstanding, or (B) one percent (1%) of the amount of the principal being prepaid.

 

(c)                                  The “Treasury Rate” shall be the annualized yield on securities issued by the United States Treasury having a maturity equal to the remaining stated term of this Note, as quoted in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release [H. 15 (519)] under the heading “U.S. Government Securities - Treasury Constant Maturities” for the date on which prepayment is being made. If this rate is not available as of the date of prepayment, the Treasury Rate shall be determined by interpolating between the yield on securities of the next longer and next shorter maturity. If the Treasury Rate is no longer published, Holder shall select a comparable rate. Holder will, upon request, provide an estimate of the amount of the Prepayment Fee two weeks before the date of the scheduled prepayment.

 

(d)                                 The “Prepayment Ratio” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of principal being prepaid, and the denominator of which shall be the principal then outstanding.

 

10.                                 Waiver of Right to Prepay Note Without Prepayment Fee. Borrower acknowledges that Holder has relied upon the anticipated investment return under this Note in entering into transactions with, and in making commitments to, third parties and that the tender of any prohibited prepayment, shall, to the extent permitted by law, include the Prepayment Fee. Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Fee represents the reasonable estimate of Holder and Borrower of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Holder as a result of a prohibited prepayment of this Note and it shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Holder to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under the Loan Documents.

BORROWER EXPRESSLY (A) WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER TEXAS LAW TO PREPAY THIS NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT FEE OR PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THIS NOTE, AND (B) AGREES THAT IF, FOR ANY REASON, A PREPAYMENT OF THIS NOTE IS MADE, UPON OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THIS NOTE BY HOLDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY DEFAULT BY BORROWER UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION WHICH IS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY THE DEED OF TRUST, THEN BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY THE PREPAYMENT FEE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9. BY EXECUTING THIS NOTE, BORROWER AGREES THAT HOLDER’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THIS NOTE CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.

 

11.                                 Liability of Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except as provided in this Section 11, Holder will look solely to the Property and the security under the Loan Documents for the repayment of the Loan and will not enforce a deficiency judgment against Borrower. However, nothing contained in this section shall limit the rights of Holder to proceed against Borrower and the general partners of Borrower and/or the Liable Parties, if any, (i) to enforce any Leases entered into by Borrower or its affiliates as tenant, guarantees, or other agreements entered into by Borrower in a capacity other than as borrower or any policies of insurance; (ii) to recover damages for fraud, material misrepresentation, material breach of warranty or waste; (iii) to recover any Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or other similar funds which have been misapplied by Borrower or which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been paid to Holder; (iv) to recover any tenant security deposits, tenant letter of credit or other deposits or fees paid to Borrower that are part of the collateral for the Loan or prepaid rents for a period of more than 30 days which have not been delivered to Holder; (v) to recover Rents and Profits received by Borrower after the first day of the month in which an Event of Default occurs and prior to the date Holder acquires title to the Property which have not been applied to the Loan or in accordance with the Loan Documents to operating and maintenance expenses of the Property; (vi) to recover damages, costs and expenses arising from, or in connection with Article VI of the Deed of Trust pertaining to hazardous materials or the Indemnity Agreement; (vii) to recover all amounts due and payable pursuant to Sections 11.06 and 11.07 of the Deed of Trust and any amount expended by Holder in connection with the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust; (viii) to recover damages arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 8.01 of the Deed of Trust pertaining to ERlSA; (ix) to recover all amounts due and payable, or to recover any damages for Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.05 of the Deed of Trust pertaining to Premiums and Impositions; and/or (x) to recover all amounts due and payable, or to recover any damages for Borrower’s failure to comply with, the provisions of Article XV of the Deed of Trust.

 

The limitation of liability set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply and the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Liable Parties (i) in the event that prior to the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness, Borrower commences a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed within 90 days of filing or (ii) to recover damages arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with Sections 10.02 and ll.0l(g) of the Deed of Trust pertaining to subordinate financing and Transfers, respectively. In addition, this agreement shall not waive any rights which Holder would have under any provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Secured Indebtedness or to require that the Property shall continue to secure all of the Secured Indebtedness.

 

12.                                 Waiver by Borrower. Borrower and others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of this Note, and each of them, waive diligence, demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration and specifically consent to and waive notice of any amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of this Note, including the granting of extension of time for payment, whether made to or in favor of Borrower or any other person or persons.

 

13.                                 Exercise of Rights. No single or partial exercise by Holder, or delay or omission in the exercise by Holder, of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall waive or limit the exercise of any such right or remedy. Holder shall at all times have the right to proceed against any portion of or interest in the Property in the manner that Holder may deem appropriate, without waiving any other rights or remedies. The release of any party under this Note shall not operate to release any other party which is liable under this Note and/or under the other Loan Documents or under the Indemnity Agreement.

 

5



 

14.                                 Fees and Expenses. If Borrower defaults under this Note, Borrower shall be personally liable for and shall pay to Holder, in addition to the sums stated above, the costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including a reasonable sum as an attorney’s fee. This obligation is not limited by Section 11.

 

15.                                 No Amendments. This Note may not be modified or amended except in a writing executed by Borrower and Holder. No waivers shall be effective unless they are set forth in a writing signed by the party which is waiving a right. This Note and the other Loan Documents are the final expression of the lending relationship between Borrower.

 

16.                                 Governing Law. This Note is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

 

17.                                 Construction. The words “Borrower” and “Holder” shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall denote the singular and/or plural, and the masculine and/or feminine, and natural and/or artificial persons, as appropriate. The provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower. If more than one party is Borrower, the obligations of each party shall be joint and several. The captions in this Note are inserted only for convenience of reference and do not expand, limit or define the scope or intent of any section of this Note.

 

18.                                 Notices. All notices, demands, requests and consents permitted or required under this Note shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Deed of Trust.

 

19.                                 Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all of Borrower’s obligations under this Note.

 

20.                                 Severability. If any provision of this Note should be held unenforceable or void, then that provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Note, except that if that provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Holder may, at its option, declare the Secured Indebtedness (together with the Prepayment Fee) immediately due and payable.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note as of the Execution Date.

At the election of Holder, and to the extent permitted by law, all payments shall be applied in the order selected by Holder to any expenses, prepayment fees, late charges, escrow deposits and other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and to unpaid interest at the Interest Rate or at the Default Rate, as applicable. The balance of any payments shall be applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount.

 

3.                                       Security. The covenants of the Deed of Trust are incorporated by reference into this Note. This Note shall evidence, and the Deed of Trust shall secure the Secured Indebtedness and the Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Other Note) under the Other Note.

 

4.                                          Late Charge. If any payment of interest, any payment of a Monthly Installment or any payment of a required escrow deposit is not paid within 7 days of the due date, Holder shall have the option to charge Borrower the Late Charge. The Late Charge is for the purpose of defraying the expenses incurred in connection with

 

2



 

handling and processing delinquent payments and is payable in addition to any other remedy Holder may have. Unpaid Late Charges shall become part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be added to any subsequent payments due under the Loan Documents.

 

5.                                       Acceleration Upon Default. At the option of Holder, if Borrower fails to pay any sum specified in this Note within 7 days of the due date, or if an Event of Default occurs, the Secured Indebtedness, and all other sums evidenced and/or secured by the Loan Documents, including without limitation any applicable prepayment fees (collectively, the “Accelerated Loan Amount”) shall become immediately due and payable.

 

6.                                       Interest Upon Default. The Accelerated Loan Amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate which shall never exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be contracted for under the laws of the State of Texas. The Default Rate shall commence upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall continue until all defaults are cured.

 

7.                                       Limitation on Interest.

 

(a)                                  Sayings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Holder at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on this Note or the Related Indebtedness (as herein defined) (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to this Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Holder related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Holder’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Holder will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Holder’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Holder shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness without payment of the Prepayment Fee (or, if this Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of this Note, then Borrower and Holder agree that Holder shall, with reasonable promptness after Holder discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against this Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Holder without payment of the Prepayment Fee, Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Holder, Borrower will provide written notice to Holder, advising Holder in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Holder shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Holder without payment of the Prepayment Fee. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Holder to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

 

(b)                                 Definitions. As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Holder in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if

 

3



 

any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Holder in connection with the transactions relating to this Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used herein, the term “Related Indebtedness” shall mean any and all debt paid or payable by Borrower to Holder pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Holder related to the transaction or transactions that arc the subject matter of the Loan Documents, except such debt which has been paid or is payable by Borrower to Holder under this Note.

 

(c)                                  Ceiling Election. To the extent that Holder is relying on Chapter ID of the Texas Credit Title to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, Holder will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter ID, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Holder will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter ID for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Holder may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter ID or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

 

8.                                       Prepayment. Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Loan Amount at any time during the term of this Note except as expressly set forth in the Defined Terms. If Borrower provides notice of its intention to prepay, the Accelerated Loan Amount shall become due and payable on the date specified in the prepayment notice. In addition to the above limitations upon prepayment, this Note may not be prepaid without the simultaneous prepayment of the Other Note in accordance with its terms.

 

9.                                       Prepayment Fee.

 

(a)                                  Any tender of payment by Borrower or any other person or entity of the Secured Indebtedness, other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, shall constitute a prohibited prepayment. If a prepayment of all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness is made following (i) an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Maturity Date, or (ii) in connection with a purchase of the Property or a repayment of the Secured Indebtedness at any time before, during or after, a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or sale of the Property, then to compensate Holder for the loss of the investment, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee (as hereinafter defined).

 

(b)                                 The “Prepayment Fee” shall be the greater of (A) the Prepayment Ratio (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the difference between (x) and (y), where (x) is the present value of all remaining payments of principal and interest including the outstanding principal due on the Maturity Date, discounted at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate plus fifty basis points (.5%) compounded semi-annually, and (y) is the amount of the principal then outstanding, or (B) one percent (1%) of the amount of the principal being prepaid.

 

(c)                                  The “Treasury Rate” shall be the annualized yield on securities issued by the United States Treasury having a maturity equal to the remaining stated term of this Note, as quoted in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release [H. 15 (519)] under the heading “U.S. Government Securities - Treasury Constant Maturities” for the date on which prepayment is being made. If this rate is not available as of the date of prepayment, the Treasury Rate shall be determined by interpolating between the yield on securities of the next longer and next shorter maturity. If the Treasury Rate is no longer published, Holder shall select a comparable rate. Holder will, upon request, provide an estimate of the amount of the Prepayment Fee two weeks before the date of the scheduled prepayment.

 

(d)                                 The “Prepayment Ratio” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of principal being prepaid, and the denominator of which shall be the principal then outstanding.

 

10.                                 Waiver of Right to Prepay Note Without Prepayment Fee. Borrower acknowledges that Holder has relied upon the anticipated investment return under this Note in entering into transactions with, and in making commitments to, third parties and that the tender of any prohibited prepayment, shall, to the extent permitted by law, include the Prepayment Fee. Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Fee represents the reasonable estimate of Holder and Borrower of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Holder as a result of a prohibited prepayment of this Note and it shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Holder to collect any other amounts provided to be paid under the Loan Documents.

 

4



 

BORROWER EXPRESSLY (A) WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER TEXAS LAW TO PREPAY THIS NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT FEE OR PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THIS NOTE, AND (B) AGREES THAT IF, FOR ANY REASON, A PREPAYMENT OF THIS NOTE IS MADE, UPON OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THIS NOTE BY HOLDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY DEFAULT BY BORROWER UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION WHICH IS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY THE DEED OF TRUST, THEN BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY THE PREPAYMENT FEE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9. BY EXECUTING THIS NOTE, BORROWER AGREES THAT HOLDER’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THIS NOTE CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.

 

11.                                Liability of Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, except as provided in this Section 11, Holder will look solely to the Property and the security under the Loan Documents for the repayment of the Loan and will not enforce a deficiency judgment against Borrower. However, nothing contained in this section shall limit the rights of Holder to proceed against Borrower and the general partners of Borrower and/or the Liable Parties, if any, (i) to enforce any Leases entered into by Borrower or its affiliates as tenant, guarantees, or other agreements entered into by Borrower in a capacity other than as borrower or any policies of insurance; (ii) to recover damages for fraud, material misrepresentation, material breach of warranty or waste; (iii) to recover any Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or other similar funds which have been misapplied by Borrower or which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been paid to Holder; (iv) to recover any tenant security deposits, tenant letter of credit or other deposits or fees paid to Borrower that are part of the collateral for the Loan or prepaid rents for a period of more than 30 days which have not been delivered to Holder; (v) to recover Rents and Profits received by Borrower after the first day of the month in which an Event of Default occurs and prior to the date Holder acquires title to the Property which have not been applied to the Loan or in accordance with the Loan Documents to operating and maintenance expenses of the Property; (vi) to recover damages, costs and expenses arising from, or in connection with Article VI of the Deed of Trust pertaining to hazardous materials or the Indemnity Agreement; (vii) to recover all amounts due and payable pursuant to Sections 11.06 and 11.07 of the Deed of Trust and any amount expended by Holder in connection with the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust; (viii) to recover damages arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 8.01 of the Deed of Trust pertaining to ERlSA; and/or (ix) to recover any damages for Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.05 of the Deed of Trust pertaining to Premiums and Impositions; and/or (x) to recover all amounts due and payable, or to recover any damages for Borrower’s failure to comply with, the provisions of Article XV of the Deed of Trust.

 

The limitation of liability set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply and the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Liable Parties (i) in the event that prior to the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness, Borrower commences a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Borrower and is not dismissed within 90 days of filing or (ii) to recover damages arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with Sections 10.02 and ll.0l(g) of the Deed of Trust pertaining to subordinate financing and Transfers, respectively. In addition, this agreement shall not waive any rights which Holder would have under any provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Secured Indebtedness or to require that the Property shall continue to secure all of the Secured Indebtedness.

 

12.                                Waiver by Borrower. Borrower and others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of this Note, and each of them, waive diligence, demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration and specifically consent to and waive notice of any amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of this Note, including the granting of extension of time for payment, whether made to or in favor of Borrower or any other person or persons.

 

13.                                Exercise of Rights. No single or partial exercise by Holder, or delay or omission in the exercise by Holder, of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents shall waive or limit the exercise of any such right or remedy. Holder shall at all times have the right to proceed against any portion of or interest in the Property in the manner that Holder may deem appropriate, without waiving any other rights or remedies. The release of any party under this Note shall not operate to release any other party which is liable under this Note and/or under the other Loan Documents or under the Indemnity Agreement.

 

5



 

14.                                Fees and Expenses. If Borrower defaults under this Note, Borrower shall be personally liable for and shall pay to Holder, in addition to the sums stated above, the costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including a reasonable sum as an attorney’s fee. This obligation is not limited by Section 11.

 

15.                                No Amendments. This Note may not be modified or amended except in a writing executed by Borrower and Holder. No waivers shall be effective unless they are set forth in a writing signed by the party which is waiving a right. This Note and the other Loan Documents are the final expression of the lending relationship between Borrower.

 

16.                                Governing Law. This Note is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

 

17.                                Construction. The words “Borrower” and “Holder” shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall denote the singular and/or plural, and the masculine and/or feminine, and natural and/or artificial persons, as appropriate. The provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of Borrower. If more than one party is Borrower, the obligations of each party shall be joint and several. The captions in this Note are inserted only for convenience of reference and do not expand, limit or define the scope or intent of any section of this Note.

 

18.                                Notices. All notices, demands, requests and consents permitted or required under this Note shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Deed of Trust.

 

19.                                Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all of Borrower’s obligations under this Note.

 

20.                                Severability. If any provision of this Note should be held unenforceable or void, then that provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Note, except that if that provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Holder may, at its option, declare the Secured Indebtedness (together with the Prepayment Fee) immediately due and payable.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note as of the Execution Date.

Exhibit 10.426

 

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS, the execution of this Guaranty Agreement is a condition to INLAND WESTERN DENTON CROSSING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Illinois limited partnership, whose address is 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 (“Borrower”) borrowing from METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a New York corporation (“MetLife”), having its principal place of business at 10 Park Avenue, Morristown, New Jersey 07960, and (ii) METLIFE BANK, N.A. (“MetLife Bank”), a national banking association, having an address of 10 Park Avenue, Morristown, New Jersey 07960 (MetLife and MetLife Bank being collectively referred to as “Lender”), the aggregate principal amount of $35,200,000.00;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, whose address for notice is 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 (“Guarantor”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below), this Guaranty Agreement being upon the following terms:

 

1.                                       The term “Indebtedness” as used herein shall mean all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities of Borrower to Lender evidenced by (i) that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”) of even date herewith executed by Borrower and payable to the order of MetLife in the principal amount of Twenty-Five Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,200,000.00), (ii) that certain Promissory Note (the “MetLife Bank Note”) of even date herewith executed by Borrower and payable to the order of MetLife Bank in the principal amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the MetLife Note and the MetLife Bank Note are collectively referred to as the “Note” or “Notes”) and (iii) the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement (as defined in the Notes).

 

2.                                       The term “Guaranteed Obligations” as used herein means: (a) payment and performance by Borrower of all of Borrower’s liability under: (i) the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, and (ii) Paragraph 11 of the Notes (such amounts under subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2(a) being herein called the “Performance Sums”) plus (b) interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) which accrues on the Performance Sums from the date of written demand for payment under this Guaranty Agreement from Lender to Guarantor until the Performance Sums arc paid in full plus (c) all costs, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with collection of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

3.                                       This instrument is an absolute, continuing, irrevocable, and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of collection, and Guarantor shall remain liable on its obligations hereunder until the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.  No set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature which Borrower may have against Lender or any other party, or which Guarantor may have against Borrower, Lender, or any other party, shall be

 

1



 

available to, or shall be asserted by, Guarantor against Lender or any subsequent beneficiary of this Guaranty Agreement or any portion of the Indebtedness.

 

4.                                       If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty Agreement, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor.  The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

5.                                          In the event of default by Borrower in payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, when such Guaranteed Obligations are due to be paid or performed by Borrower, Guarantor shall promptly pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations then due in full without notice or demand, and it shall not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce such payment by Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others, or to enforce any rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure such Indebtedness.  Without limiting any other provisions of this Guaranty Agreement, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent Lender realizes any proceeds under any documents which secure the Indebtedness (including, without limitation, voluntary payments, insurance or condemnation proceeds or proceeds from the sale at foreclosure of any collateral securing the Indebtedness), such proceeds shall, to the extent permitted by law, not be applied to or credited against the Guaranteed Obligations.  FURTHER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT, GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, UNTIL PAYMENT IN FULL TO LENDER OF THE INDEBTEDNESS AND THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTOR SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM BORROWER ANY CLAIMS GUARANTOR HAS OR MIGHT HAVE AGAINST BORROWER (AS SUCH TERM “CLAIM” IS DEFINED IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY CODE 11 U.S.C. §101[5] AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME) IN CONNECTION WITH PAYMENTS MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF GUARANTOR TO LENDER UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT IMPLIED LIMITATION, ALL RIGHTS GUARANTOR MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE UNDER ANY AGREEMENT OR AT LAW OR IN EQUITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LAW SUBROGATING THE GUARANTOR TO THE RIGHTS OF LENDER) TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST OR SEEK CONTRIBUTION, INDEMNIFICATION OR ANY OTHER FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT FROM BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PARTY LIABLE FOR PAYMENT OF ANY OR ALL OF THE INDEBTEDNESS.

 

6.                                       If acceleration of the time for payment by Borrower of all or any portion of the Indebtedness is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower, the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by Lender.

 

7.                                       Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall not be released, discharged, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected for any reason or by the

 

2



 

occurrence of any event, including, without limitation, one or more of the following events, whether or not with notice to or the consent of Guarantor; (a) the taking or accepting of collateral as security for any or all of the Indebtedness or the release, surrender, exchange, or subordination of any collateral now or hereafter securing any or all of the Indebtedness; (b) the full or partial release of Borrower or any other guarantor from liability for any or all of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the dissolution, insolvency, or bankruptcy of Borrower, Guarantor, or any other party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Indebtedness; (d) any renewal, extension, modification, waiver, amendment, or rearrangement of any or all of the Indebtedness or any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, waiver, or compromise that may be granted or given by Lender to Borrower or any other party ever liable for any or all of the Indebtedness; (f) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Lender to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations from Borrower or Guarantor or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Indebtedness or any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) the unenforceability or invalidity of any or all of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any payment by Borrower or any other party to Lender is held to constitute a preference under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else; (i) the settlement or compromise of any of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) the non-perfection of any security interest or lien securing any or all of the Indebtedness; (k) any impairment of any collateral securing any or all of the Indebtedness; (1) the failure of Lender to sell any collateral securing any or all of the Indebtedness in a commercially reasonable manner or as otherwise required by law; (m) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of Borrower; (n) the application against the Indebtedness of the proceeds realized by Lender under any documents which secure the Indebtedness (including, without limitation, voluntary payments, insurance or condemnation proceeds or proceeds from the sale at foreclosure of any collateral securing the Indebtedness), except as provided in Section 5 of this Guaranty Agreement; or (o) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Borrower or Guarantor, or any other party liable for any or all of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations.  Guarantor further expressly waives any right or option under applicable law or otherwise to be released or discharged, in whole or in part, by reason of any of the matters set forth in (a) through (o) of this Section, and further expressly waives any defense to the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations arising from the matters set forth in (a) through (o) of this Section.  In addition, Guarantor expressly waives: (i) any duty or obligation on the Lender to proceed to collect payment of the Indebtedness from, or to commence an action against, the Borrower or any other person, or to resort to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person, despite any notice or request of the undersigned to do so; (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the requirements and/or the benefits of Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended, Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, and Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, and (iii) except as expressly reserved pursuant to Section 21 hereof, any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any “one action” or “anti-deficiency”

 

3



 

law or any other law which may prevent Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency (but only to the extent of the Guaranteed Obligations and not otherwise), against Guarantor, before or after Lender’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale.  Furthermore, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, or affected by any deterioration, waste, loss or impairment of any collateral, property or security at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by the failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security.  The liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender under this Guaranty shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of or by reason of any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense of Borrower against Lender, or any other party, or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Loan and the payment of the Loan and the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating same) or otherwise.

 

8.                                       Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

 

(a)                                  Guarantor has the power and authority and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement and this Guaranty Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditor’s rights.

 

(b)                                 The execution, delivery, and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty Agreement do not and will not violate or conflict with any law, rule, or regulation or any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any court, governmental authority or agency, or arbitrator and do not and will not conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien upon any assets of Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, franchise, permit, license, or other instrument or agreement to which Guarantor or his properties are bound.

 

(c)                                  No authorization, approval, or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any court, governmental authority, or third party is necessary for the execution, delivery, or performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty Agreement or the validity or enforceability thereof.

 

(d)                                 The value of the consideration received and to be received by Guarantor as a result of Lender making extensions of credit to Borrower and Guarantor executing and delivering this Guaranty Agreement is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of Guarantor hereunder, and such liability and obligation and such extensions of credit have benefited and may reasonably be expected to benefit Guarantor directly and indirectly.

9.                                       Guarantor covenants and agrees that, as long as the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is outstanding:

 

(a)                                  Guarantor will furnish to Lender as soon as available, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, (i) a copy of the financial statements of Guarantor for such fiscal year and (ii) a certificate of Guarantor to Lender (A) stating that no default under this Guaranty Agreement and no event which with notice or lapse of time or both would be a default under this Guaranty Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or if in Guarantor’s opinion a default under this Guaranty Agreement has occurred and is continuing, a statement as to the nature thereof and (B) disclosing and certifying as to all material changes in Guarantor’s debt or net worth or otherwise certifying that there has been no material change in Guarantor’s personal debt or net worth since the previous financial statement delivered to Lender.

 

(b)                                 Guarantor will furnish promptly to Lender written notice of the occurrence of any default under this Guaranty Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Guarantor will furnish promptly to Lender such additional information concerning Guarantor as Lender may request.

 

(d)                                 Guarantor will obtain at any time and from time to time all authorizations, licenses, consents or approvals as shall now or hereafter be necessary or desirable under all applicable laws or regulations or otherwise in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty Agreement and will promptly furnish copies thereof to Lender.

 

(e)                                  Except for transfers permitted under the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated of even date herewith (the “Deed of Trust”) and the other Loan Documents.  Guarantor will at all times own directly or indirectly and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances whatsoever at least the same percentage interest in Borrower, if any, as its owns directly or indirectly on the date hereof.

 

10.                                 (a)                                  Guarantor hereby agrees that the Subordinated Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined) shall he subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Indebtedness and satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, and Guarantor hereby assigns the Subordinated Indebtedness to Lender as security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.  If any sums shall be paid to Guarantor by Borrower or any other person or entity on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness, such sums shall be held in trust by Guarantor for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender without affecting the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement and may be applied by Lender against the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Upon the request of Lender, Guarantor shall execute, deliver, and endorse to Lender such documents and instruments as Lender may request to perfect, preserve, and enforce its rights hereunder.  For purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, the term “Subordinated Indebtedness” means all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon arc direct, indirect,

 

5



 

contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations are evidenced by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons in whose favor such indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor; provided, however, that the term “Subordinated Indebtedness” shall not mean or include any distributions by Borrower to its partners (including Guarantors) pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of Borrower at any time when no Event of Default (as defined in the Deed of Trust) exists.

 

(b)                                 Guarantor agrees that any and all liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to (i) any and all liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attached and (ii) satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.  Without the prior written consent of Lender until the Indebtedness has been paid in full, Guarantor shall not (i) file suit against Borrower or exercise or enforce any other creditor’s right it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances held by Guarantor on assets of Borrower.

 

(c)                                  In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving Borrower as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove and vote any claim under the Subordinated Indebtedness and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends, distributions, and payments made in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness.  Lender may apply any such dividends, distributions, and payments against the Guaranteed Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Guarantor hereby appoints Lender as Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, to enable Lender to act in the place of Guarantor with respect to (i) any claim under the Subordinated Indebtedness or (ii) the receipt of any such dividends, distributions and payments.

 

(d)                                 Guarantor agrees that all promissory notes, accounts receivable, ledgers, records, or any other evidence of Subordinated Indebtedness shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Guaranty Agreement.

 

11.                                 No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender.  No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any

 

6



 

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

12.                                 Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by Borrower or others (including Guarantor), with respect to any of the Indebtedness shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of Guarantor against Lender shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

 

13.                                 This Guaranty Agreement is for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the portion of the Indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such Indebtedness.  This Guaranty Agreement is binding not only on Guarantor, but on Guarantor’s heirs, successors and assigns.

 

14.                                 Guarantor recognizes that Lender is relying upon this Guaranty Agreement and the undertakings of Guarantor hereunder in making extensions of credit to Borrower and further recognizes that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty Agreement is a material inducement to Lender in making extensions of credit to Borrower.  Guarantor hereby acknowledges that there are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty Agreement.

 

15.                                 This Guaranty Agreement is executed and delivered as an incident to a lending transaction negotiated, consummated, and performable in Dallas County, Texas, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.  Any action or proceeding against Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.  Guarantor agrees that service of process and/or notice upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified on the first page hereof.  Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other matter permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Guarantor or with respect to any of Guarantor’s property in courts in other jurisdictions.  Any action or proceeding by Guarantor against Lender shall be brought only in a court located in Dallas County, Texas.

 

16.                                 Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of any default under the Indebtedness or of Borrower’s failure to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, demand of payment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement, presentment, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of the incurring by Borrower of additional indebtedness, and all other notices and demands with, respect to the Indebtedness and this Guaranty Agreement.

 

17.                                 Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Lender that Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning the financial condition and assets of Borrower and that Guarantor is not relying upon Lender to provide (and

 

7



 

Lender shall have no duty to provide) any such information to Guarantor either now or in the future.

 

18.                                 In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

19.                                  THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT EMBODIES THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO GUARANTOR’S GUARANTY OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.  THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT IS INTENDED BY GUARANTOR AND LENDER AS A FINAL AND COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF THE TERMS OF THE GUARANTY AGREEMENT, AND NO COURSE OF DEALING BETWEEN GUARANTOR AND LENDER, NO COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, NO TRADE PRACTICES, AND NO EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OR OTHER EXTRINSIC EVIDENCE OF ANY NATURE SHALL BE USED TO CONTRADICT, VARY, SUPPLEMENT OR MODIFY ANY TERM OF THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT.  THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN GUARANTOR AND LENDER.

 

20.                                 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor HEREBY WAIVES HIS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY in any action, proceeding and/or hearing on any matter whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with this Guaranty Agreement, the Unsecured Indemnity Agreement, the Deed of Trust (as defined in the Note), the Note or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of any remedy hereunder or thereunder or under any law, statute, or regulation.  Guarantor will not seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived, with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived.  Guarantor has received the advice of counsel with respect to this waiver.

 

21.                                 Anything herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty nor any provision in this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed as a waiver by Guarantor of the rights and protections afforded under Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as such provisions may from time to time be amended or recodified, in the event the Loan becomes full recourse to Guarantor.

3.  ACTIONS PENDING CLOSING

 

3.1  Buyer’s Review of Title.

 

3.1.1  Seller shall cause the Title Company, promptly after the Effective Date, to deliver to Buyer a copy of a current preliminary title report or commitment for title insurance (as well as a copy of each exception referenced therein) showing the condition of title to the Property (the “Title Report”).  Upon receipt from Buyer of funds sufficient to pay for a survey of the Property, Seller shall engage a surveyor to prepare a survey of the Property (the “Survey”) that meets the requirements set forth on Schedule 3.1.1 hereof.  Seller is ordering the Survey as an accommodation to Buyer, and in no event shall Seller be in breach or default by reason of the contents, or timing of delivery, of the Survey.

 

3.1.2  Buyer shall have until the later of five (5) days after receipt of the Title Report and Survey or twenty five (25) days after the Effective Date ((the “Title Date”) within which to deliver to Seller written notice of Buyer’s disapproval of title as shown on the Title Report and Survey (those title matters identified on the Title Report and Survey and timely disapproved in writing by Buyer are hereafter called the “Disapproved Exceptions”).  Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice to Seller on or before the Title Date shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition of title as shown on the Title Report and Survey.

 

3.1.3  Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within three (3) business days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of Disapproved Exceptions that: (a) Seller will remove such Disapproved Exceptions from title as of or before Closing; or (b) Seller will not remove any or certain specified Disapproved Exceptions from title.  Seller’s failure to address any Disapproved Exceptions in any notice, or failure to give a notice as to any Disapproved Exceptions, shall constitute Seller’s statement that it will not remove such Disapproved Exceptions from title.

 

3.1.4  If Seller does not provide Buyer with written notice that it shall remove all Disapproved Exceptions from title, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice of termination in accordance with Section 3.3 on or before the Decision Date, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy.  Buyer’s failure to provide such notice of termination on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of its disapproval of the Disapproved Exceptions.  In the case of Buyer’s waiver (or deemed waiver) of Disapproved Exceptions, Seller shall have no obligation to remove or otherwise address such Disapproved Exceptions from title, and such waived Disapproved Exceptions shall be deemed approved.  If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1.4, the provisions of Section 3.3 shall apply.  Except for the Disapproved Exceptions Seller removes or covenants to remove, the exceptions to title shown by the Title Report and Survey and any encumbrance arising from the acts of Buyer are called the “Permitted Exceptions” in this Agreement.  In no event shall any mortgage or judgment liens be Permitted Exceptions, and Seller shall cause the same to be removed at or before Closing.  Should a supplemental Title Report be issued by the Title Company after the date of the original Title Report disclosing additional title exceptions that adversely affect the condition of title to the Property, then the Title Date shall, if applicable, be extended to the date that is three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the supplemental Title Report, and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be automatically

extended to the extent necessary to accommodate the approval procedures of Section 3.1.3 and this Section 3.1.4.

 

3.2  Buyer’s Review of the Property; Agreements.  Promptly after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of (or make available to Buyer for review at the Project) the items reflected on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Due Diligence Documents”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, (i) Seller’s responsibility to provide Due Diligence Documents shall be limited to those Due Diligence Documents in Seller’s (or its property manager’s) possession (without limiting the foregoing, those items that are marked “not in our possession” on Schedule 3.1 shall not be provided), (ii) Seller shall not be required to generate reports or analyses not typically prepared (or reflecting information not typically reflected) in Seller’s ordinary course of business, and (iii) the Due Diligence Documents are provided as an accommodation to Buyer and Seller expressly disclaims any and all representations and warranties regarding the same.  On or before the Decision Date, Buyer shall have reviewed the foregoing and prepared, obtained, reviewed (or shall have chosen not to have prepared, obtained or reviewed) and approved, among other things, all other reports of investigations of the Property, including, such soil, environmental, geological and engineering tests and reports, and other inspections of the Property as Buyer shall deem necessary in order to determine whether the Property is suitable for Buyer’s intended use, as well as investigated (or chosen not to have investigated) all zoning requirements, federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, approvals and orders applicable to the Property.  Pursuant to and subject to the requirements of Section 3.5 of this Agreement, Buyer may enter onto the Property for the purpose of conducting its inspection (the “Inspection”) of the Property; provided, however, without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, Buyer shall only conduct a visual inspection, with no right to conduct any physical testing, boring, sampling or removal (collectively “Physical Testing”) of any portion of the Property.  If Buyer wishes to conduct any Physical Testing of the Property, Buyer shall submit a work plan to Seller prior to the Decision Date for Seller’s prior written approval, which work plan Seller may modify, limit or disapprove in its reasonable discretion.  If, on the basis of the review and the Inspection described in this Section 3.2, or if for any other reason or no reason, Buyer determines that the Property is not suitable for Buyer’s intended use, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering the Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Decision Date.  Buyer’s failure to deliver the Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the aforementioned items and of the condition of the Property.

 

3.3  Buyer’s Termination.  If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3.1.4 or 3.2, Buyer shall deliver the Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Decision Date.  If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 4.4 or 4.5, then on or before the dates specified therein, Buyer shall deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to said Sections.  Buyer’s failure to timely deliver such termination notice pursuant to said Sections of this Agreement shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to said Sections.  If Buyer timely elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3.1.4, 3.2, 4.4 or 4.5, Escrow Holder shall deliver the Deposit to Buyer, less fifty percent (50%) of any Escrow termination fee, and Escrow Holder shall return to the depositor thereof any other materials

previously placed in Escrow and remaining in Escrow; and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise herein.

 

3.4  No Processing.  Without Seller’s prior written consent, until the Closing, Buyer shall not make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof.

 

3.5  Access to Property.

 

3.5.1  Subject to the rights of existing tenants of the Property (“Tenants”), whom Buyer hereby agrees not to interview or question without having provided Seller and Seller’s Broker (as defined below) with at least 24 hours prior written notice of its intention to do so during such interview, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s representatives, agents, employees and contractors (collectively, “Buyer’s Agents”) a nonexclusive license to enter onto the Property solely for the purpose of conducting Buyer’s Inspection.  Any Inspection work shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer.  The license created under this Section 3.5.1 shall expire on termination of this Agreement.  At least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any entry and Inspection, Buyer shall provide Seller with sufficient evidence to show that Buyer and Buyer’s Agents, who are to enter upon the Property, are adequately covered by policies of insurance issued by a carrier reasonably acceptable to Seller insuring Buyer and Seller against any and all liability arising out of Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry upon and Inspection of the Property, including without limitation any loss or damage to the Property, with coverage in the amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

 

3.5.2  Buyer agrees to keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Buyer or Buyer’s Agents with respect to any Inspection or Physical Testing of the Property.  If any such lien shall at any time be filed, Buyer shall cause the same to be discharged of record within twenty (20) days thereafter by satisfying the same or, if Buyer in its discretion and in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, by recording a bond.  Failure by Buyer to discharge such lien shall be a material breach of this Agreement and Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Buyer.

 

3.5.3  Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, or policies in conducting the Inspection and the Physical Testing.

 

3.5.4  Buyer hereby agrees to hold harmless, protect, defend and indemnify, and hereby releases, Seller and its trustees, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and its and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) and the Property from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, liabilities, liens, encumbrances, costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising out of, connected with or incidental to: (a) any injuries to persons (including death) or property (real or personal), or (b) any mechanics’, workers’ or other liens on the Property, by reason of or relating to the work or activities conducted on the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents.  The provisions of this Section 3.5.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited in any way by any other terms of this Agreement.

5.4.2  Escrow Holder shall hold the Closing on the Closing Date if: (i) it has received in a timely manner all the funds and materials required to be delivered into Escrow by Buyer and Seller; and (ii) it has received assurances satisfactory to it that, effective as of the Closing, the Title Company will issue to Buyer, its standard coverage CLTA title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Buyer as the owner of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Owner’s Policy”).

6.3  Legal Advice; Neutral Interpretation; Headings.  Each party has received independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement and the meaning of the provisions hereof.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as to their fair meaning, and not for or against any party based upon any attribution to such party as the source of the language in question.  Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in construing this Agreement.

 

6.4  Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

 

6.5  Severability.  If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

 

6.6  Waiver of Covenants, Conditions or Remedies.  The waiver by one party of the performance of any covenant, condition or promise under this Agreement shall not invalidate this Agreement nor shall it be considered a waiver by it of any other covenant, condition or promise under this Agreement.  The waiver by Either or both parties of the time for performing any act under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the time for performing any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time.  The exercise of any remedy provided in this Agreement shall not be a waiver of any consistent remedy provided by law, and the provision in this Agreement for any remedy shall not exclude other consistent remedies unless they are expressly excluded.

6.Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended at any time by the written agreement of Buyer and Seller.  All amendments, changes, revisions and discharges of this Agreement, in whole or in part, and from time to time, shall be binding upon the parties despite any lack of legal consideration, so long as the same shall be in writing and executed by the parties hereto.

6.14  Assignment.  Upon written notice to Seller, Buyer shall be entitled to assign Buyer’s rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to a third party controlled by Buyer, but no such assignment shall release Buyer of any liability hereunder.  Each party agrees to cooperate with the other party in competing an exchange qualifying for nonrecognition of gain under Internal Revenue Code §1031 and the applicable provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (“Exchange”), and each party reserves the right to convert this transaction to an Exchange at any time before the Closing Date.  If either party does elect to complete an Exchange, the other party shall execute all escrow instructions, documents, agreements or instruments reasonably requested by the first party to complete the Exchange; provided, however, that the other party shall incur no additional liabilities, expenses or costs (other than its attorneys fees in reviewing customary Exchange documentation) as a result of or connected with such Exchange, and shall not be required to take title to any other property.  Notwithstanding that the transaction contemplated hereby should be effected as an Exchange through a third party as a qualified IRC §1031 intermediary, all obligations, representation, warranties and indemnities made by Buyer shall run to Seller, and all obligations, representations, warranties and indemnities made by Seller shall run to Buyer, despite the fact that an intermediary or other third party facilitating a party’s tax-deferred exchange was substituted hereunder for that party.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement.

 

6.15  Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of any litigation involving the parties to this Agreement to enforce any provision of this Agreement, to enforce any remedy available upon default under this Agreement, or seeking a declaration of the rights of either party under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other such attorneys’ fees and costs as may be reasonably incurred, including the costs of reasonable investigation, preparation and professional or expert consultation incurred by reason of such litigation.  All other attorneys’ fees and costs relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring the same.

 

15



 

6.16  Brokers.  Pursuant to separate agreement, Seller shall pay CB Richard Ellis (“Seller’s Broker”), a brokerage commission for its services as broker in this transaction if, as and when the Closing occurs (and Seller understands that Seller’s Broker has an agreement with Buyer’s broker, CB Richard Ellis, to pay CB Richard Ellis a portion of such commission at Closing).  Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant to the other that, except as stated in the preceding sentence (a) they have not dealt with any brokers or finders in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property, and (b) insofar as such party knows, no broker or other person is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property.  Seller and Buyer each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other against any loss, liability, damage, cost, claim or expense incurred by reason of any brokerage fee, commission or finder’s fee which is payable or alleged to be payable to any broker or finder because of any agreement, act, omission or statement of the indemnifying party.  The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall not be limited in any way by any terms of this Agreement.

(b)                                 On the Payment Date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt without payment of any Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium; provided, however, if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, Borrower’s right to prepay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the amount to be prepaid and the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the amount to be prepaid as set forth in such notice on the projected date set forth in such notice or any day following such projected date occurring in the same calendar month as such projected date.

Following an Event of Default, if Borrower or anyone on Borrower’s behalf makes a tender of payment of all or any portion of the Debt at any time prior to a foreclosure sale (including a sale under the power of sale under the Mortgage), or during any redemption period after foreclosure, (i) the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of Borrower’s obligation to pay any Prepayment Consideration due under this Agreement and such payment shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include a premium equal to the Prepayment Consideration that would have been payable on the date of such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.

 

Section 2.4                                      Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 2.5                                      Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.

At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

Section 7.2                                      Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates

 

59



 

will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund).  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution.

Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Properly have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Property is not insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement or Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.

(j)                                All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

(k)                                  In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard

mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.  Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

Section 7.3.5                             Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.   The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.3.6                             Indemnification.   Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements unless the same are solely due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Section 8.2                                      Remedies.   (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

 

(b)                                 Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more

 

68



 

partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

 

(c)                                  Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)                                 As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.

 

Section 8.3                                      Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.   The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may he exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

ARTICLE IX

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1                                      Sale of Notes and Securitization.   At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or

 

69



 

participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the “Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage.  In this regard Borrower shall;

 

(a)                                  (i)                                     provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the Provided Information), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

(b)                                 cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;

 

(c)                                  make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and

 

(d)                                 execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.

 

All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.

 

Section 9.2                                      Securitization.   Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Discloser Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.

 

70



 

Section 9.3                                      Rating Surveillance.   Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the Rating Surveillance Charge”).

 

Section 9.4                                      Exculpation.   Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment, or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

 

(i)                                     fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;

 

(ii)                                  the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

 

(iii)                               material physical waste of the Property;

 

(iv)                              the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

 

(v)                                 the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;

 

71



 

(vi)                              the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default;

 

(vii)                           failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on any portion of the Property; or

 

(viii)                        any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 111 l(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that the (I) first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), or (II) failure of Borrower to permit on-site inspections of the Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or (III) failure of Borrower to comply with Section 4.1.30 hereof, or (IV) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent. (to extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property, or (V) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (IV) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (I), (II) or (IV) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (III) or (V) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to

 

72



 

the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger.

 

Section 9.5                                   Termination of Manager.   If (a) the amounts evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (b) the Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, or (d) Manager is not managing the Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the Property, then, in the case of (a), (b), (c) or (d), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.

 

Section 9.6                                      Servicer.   At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the Servicer) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 9.7                                      Splitting the Loan.   At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion. Lender hereby agrees to be responsible for all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the

 

73



 

Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional Loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be apart.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Waiver in Writing.   No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 10.5                                Delay Not a Waiver.   Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement,

 

74



 

the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

77



 

(b)                                  Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the Indemnified Liabilities); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

 

Section 10.14                          Schedules Incorporated.   The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

Section 10.15                          Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.   Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Loan No. 122561

 

MORTGAGE NOTE

Chicago, Illinois

December 23, 2004

$11,485,000

 

1.             Payment of Principal and Interest.     FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  INLAND WESTERN LONGMONT FOX CREEK, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, and any subsequent holder of this Note (“Holder” or “Holders”) in the manner hereinafter provided, the principal amount of ELEVEN MILLION FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($11,485,000), together with interest on the outstanding principal balance from the date of the initial disbursement (for purposes of this Note, “disbursement” means the date funds ate wire transferred from Holder’s account) of all or a part of the principal of this Note (“Disbursement Date”) until maturity at the rate of five and 21/100 percent (5.21%) per annum (“Contract Rate”) as follows:

 

(a)           on the Disbursement Date, interest only,  in advance,  accruing from the Disbursement Date to the last day of December, 2004, both inclusive; and

 

(b)           interest only, in arrears, in the amount of FORTY NINE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR AND 04/100 DOLLARS ($49,864.04) on the first day of February, 2005, and on the first day of each month thereafter until this Note is fully paid (the initial payment and each subsequent payment under this subparagraph (b) shall each hereinafter be referred to as “Monthly Payment”); and

 

(c)           on December 1, 2009, the entire unpaid principal amount and any interest accrued but remaining unpaid and all other sums due under this Note.

 

Except for the interest payable under paragraph (a) above, interest shall be payable in arrears and calculated on the basis of a 360 day year containing twelve 30 day months. All such payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be first applied to interest accrued on the unpaid principal amount and the remainder toward reduction of the unpaid principal amount.

 

2.             Payment Information. All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made during regular business hours to Holder at its office c/o Commercial Mortgage Division, Allstate Plaza South, Suite G5C, 3075 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062, Attention: Servicing Manager, with sufficient information to identify the source and application of such payment to Holder’s Loan #122561, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing.   All payments shall be made in currency of the United States of America without presentment or surrender of this Note.   Payments to Holder shall be made by transferring immediately available federal funds by bank wire or interbank transfer for the account of Holder. Any payment of principal or interest received after 1:00 p.m. Chicago time shall be deemed to have been received by Holder on the next business day and shall bear interest accordingly.  If and so long as Holder directs Maker to make payments to a servicing agent, then payments may

 

 



 

be made by check. Payments made by check will not be deemed made until good funds for such check are received by Holder or the servicing agent.

 

3.             Security For Note. The payment of this Note and all other sums due Holder is secured by (a) (i) a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Contracts, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (“Deed of Trust”) of even date herewith, granted by Maker, as trustor, to the Public Trustee of Boulder County, Colorado (“Trustee”), as trustee, in favor of Holder, as beneficiary, covering a leasehold estate in certain real property, the improvements thereon and certain personal property situated in the County of Boulder, State of Colordao and described in the Deed of Trust (“Property”), and, with respect to any loan made by Holder to Inland Western Winter Springs Red Bug, L.L.C. a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Grantor (“Affiliated Borrower”), (ii) a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Contracts, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Other Mortgage”) granted by Affiliated Borrower, as mortgagee, covering certain real property owned by Affiliated Borrower, the improvements thereon and said grantor’s interest, if any, in certain personal property situated in the County of Seminole, State of Florida and described in the Other Mortgage (the “Other Property”), and (b) those certain instruments of indebtedness and security described as “Related Agreements” in the Deed of Trust and/or the Other Mortgage.   Except as otherwise defined herein, all of the defined terms contained in the Deed of Trust and the Related Agreements arc hereby incorporated herein by express reference.

 

4.             Late Charges. If any Monthly Payment required under this Note not be paid in full on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month in which such payment is due, Maker acknowledges that the Holder will incur extra expenses for the handling of the delinquent payment and servicing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and that the exact amount of these extra expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, but that a charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment (“Late Charge”) would be a fair approximation of the expense so incurred by Holder.  If applicable law requires a lesser charge, however, then the maximum charge permitted by such law may be charged by Holder for said purpose. Therefore, Maker shall, in such event, without further notice, and without prejudice to the right of Holder to collect any other amounts provided to be paid hereunder or under the Deed of Trust, the Related Agreements or any other instrument executed for purposes of further securing payment of the obligations evidenced by this Note, or to declare an Event of Default, as defined below, pay to Holder immediately upon demand the Late Charge to compensate Holder for expenses incurred in handling delinquent payments.

 

5.             Interest Payable Upon Default. If there occurs an Event of Default under this Note or the Deed of Trust or under any Related Agreement, then the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest at the Contract Rate plus five percent (5%) per annum compounded monthly (“Default Rate”) from the date of expiration of any applicable cure or grace period until such time, if any, as the Event of Default is cured and the Deed of Trust and this Note are reinstated as permitted by applicable law, or otherwise until such time as the unpaid principal amount of this Note and all other indebtedness evidenced by this Note are fully repaid, whichever is earlier.

 

2



 

6.             Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist under this Note:

 

(a)           in the event Maker shall fail to make any payment due under this Note, other than the final payment and Prepayment Premium, on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month in which such payment is due;

 

(b)           in the event Maker shall fail to make the final payment or the Prepayment Premium when such payment is due; or

 

(c)           if there shall exist an Event of Default under the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage or in any of the Related Agreements.

 

7.             Additional Payments. The additional payments called for under Paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be in addition to, and shall in no way limit, any other rights and remedies provided for in this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage, any Related Agreements, or otherwise provided by law.

 

8.             Payment of Taxes and Expenses.   Maker further promises to pay to Holder, immediately upon written notice from Holder: (i) all recordation, transfer, stamp, documentary or other fees or taxes levied on Holder (exclusive of Holder’s income taxes) by reason of the making or recording of this Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the Related Agreements, and (ii) all intangible property taxes levied upon any Holder of this Note or mortgagee under the Deed of Trust or secured party under the Related Agreements.

 

Maker further promises to pay to Holder, immediately upon written notice from Holder, all actual costs, expenses, disbursements, escrow fees, title charges and reasonable legal fees and expenses actually incurred by Holder and its counsel in (i) the collection, attempted collection, or negotiation and documentation of any settlement or workout of the principal amount of this Note, the interest thereon or any installment or other payment due hereunder, and (ii) any suit or proceeding whatsoever at all trial and appellate levels in regard to this Note or to protect, sustain or enforce the lien of any instrument securing this Note, including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy proceeding or judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding. It is the intent of the parties that Maker pay all expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees incurred by Holder as a result of or in connection with (A) matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, (B) the negotiation and closing of the loan transaction evidenced by this Note and any supplements or amendments thereto, (C) the protection of property given as security for the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and (D) responding to requests from Maker that Holder take certain actions, and as may otherwise be reasonably incurred by Holder as a result of or in connection with entering into the loan transaction evidenced by this Note.

 

9.             Prepayment. Maker is prohibited from prepaying this Note until July 1, 2005 (the “No-Prepayment Period”).   Subsequent to the No-Prepayment Period, at any time with thirty (30) days prior written notice to Holder, specifying the date of prepayment, Maker will have the privilege of prepaying the outstanding principal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest, any other sums secured by the Deed of Trust and the Related Agreements, and a prepayment premium (“Prepayment Premium”) equal to the greater of:

 

(a)                              one percent of the principal amount prepaid, or

 

3



 

(b)                             the yield maintenance payment calculated as follows:

 

If the Prevailing Interest Rate is less than the Contract Rate, the yield maintenance payment shall be the remainder of (x) minus (y) where “(x)” is the present value of all unpaid installments of principal and interest due under this Note from the date of prepayment to and including the original maturity date of this Note, discounted at the Prevailing Interest Rate, plus 0.50 percent (50 basis points), and “(y)” is the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the prepayment date. The term “Prevailing Interest Rate” as used herein shall mean the yield to maturity on a United States Treasury Bond or Treasury Note selected by Holder having a maturity date as near as possible to the original maturity date of this Note and an “ask” price, as close as possible to par (as published two weeks prior to the specified date of prepayment in The Wall Street Journal or similar publication or available from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), less the Basis Point Adjustment as computed in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto to convert the monthly payments to a semi-annual equivalent.

 

No Prepayment Premium shall be due on the principal balance prepaid within the thirty (30) day period prior to the Maturity Date of this Note.

 

Written notice of Maker’s election to make a prepayment in full of this Note shall be given in the manner provided for notices under the Deed of Trust. Partial prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall not be permitted except in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust. In the event of such a permitted partial prepayment, the Prepayment Premium calculated in this Paragraph 9 shall be prorated based on the amount of the partial prepayment relative to the then current outstanding principal balance of this Note.

 

Maker acknowledges that Holder:

 

(a)           has advanced the amounts evidenced by this Note with the expectation that such amounts would be outstanding for a period at least equal to the No-Prepayment Period;

 

(b)           would not have been willing to advance such amounts on these terms for a shorter period of time;

 

(c)           in making the loan evidenced by this Note, is relying on Maker’s creditworthiness and its agreement to pay in strict accordance with the terms set forth in the Note; and

 

(d)           would not make the loan evidenced by this Note without full and complete assurance by Maker of its agreement not to prepay all or a part of the principal of this Note except as expressly permitted herein and in the Deed of Trust.

 

Maker has been advised and acknowledges that Holder is relying on the receipt of payments under this Note to, among other things, match and support its obligations under contracts entered into by Holder with third parties and that in the event of a prepayment, Holder could suffer loss and additional expenses which are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Accordingly, it is the express intent of Maker and Holder that: (a) Maker shall have no right to prepay this Note during the No-Prepayment Period; (b) any prepayment of this Note

during the No-Prepayment Period shall only occur in the event Holder accelerates payment under this Note or as otherwise set forth in the Deed of Trust; (c) any prepayment described in foregoing clause (b) shall (unless otherwise expressly permitted in the Deed of Trust) require the payment of the Prepayment Premium; and (d) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Maker has waived, and hereby waives, any right to prepay this Note except as expressly provided in the Deed of Trust or this Note during the No-Prepayment Period. In the event, notwithstanding the foregoing express intent of Maker and Holder and the express waiver by Maker of any right to prepay this Note during the No-Prepayment Period, that the applicable law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located permits the Maker to prepay this Note during the No-Prepayment Period, then the applicable Prepayment Premium described in clause (c) in the third sentence of this grammatical paragraph shall be paid to Holder as a condition to any such prepayment.

 

Maker expressly acknowledges that, pursuant to the provisions of this Note and except as otherwise provided in this Note or the Deed of Trust, Maker has no right to prepay this Note in whole or in part during the No-Prepayment Period. In the event any prepayment is required or expressly permitted, Maker shall be liable for the payment of the Prepayment Premium unless expressly stated otherwise in this Note or in the Deed of Trust. Furthermore, Maker waives any rights it may have under any applicable state laws as they relate to any prepayment restrictions contained in this Paragraph 9 or otherwise contained in this Note and expressly acknowledges that Holder has made the loan evidenced by this Note in reliance upon such agreement and waiver of Maker and that Holder would not have made the loan evidenced by this Note without such agreement and waiver of Maker. Maker acknowledges that specific weight has been given to the consideration given for such agreement, which consideration is the granting of the loan.

 

10.           Evasion of Prepayment Premium.   Maker acknowledges that in the event of an acceleration of payment of this Note following an Event of Default by Maker, a tender of payment of an amount necessary to satisfy the indebtedness evidenced hereby, but not including the Prepayment Premium, made at any time prior to a foreclosure, trustee’s or power of sale by Maker, its successors or assigns or by anyone on behalf of Maker, or by a buyer upon foreclosure, trustee’s or power of sale, shall constitute a prepayment hereunder and shall be presumed to be and conclusively deemed to constitute a deliberate evasion of the prepayment provisions hereof and shall therefore be subject to the Prepayment Premium in accordance with this Note with the date of prepayment being deemed the date of occurrence of the foreclosure sale or the tender of payment of the amount necessary to pay the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby in full, including the Prepayment Premium.

 

11.           Maker’s Covenants. Maker agrees that:

 

(a)           this instrument and the rights and obligations of all parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Property is located;

 

(b)           the obligation evidenced by this Note is an exempted transaction under the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C §1601, et seq. (1982);

 

(c)           said obligation constitutes a business loan for the purpose of the application of any laws that distinguish between consumer loans and business loans and that have as their

 

5



 

purpose the protection of consumers in the state or commonwealth in which the Property is located;

 

(d)           at the option of the Holder, the United States District Court for the district in which the Property is located and any court of competent jurisdiction of the state or commonwealth in which the Property is located shall have jurisdiction in any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to any act taken or omitted hereunder or the enforcement of this Note, the Deed of Trust and the Related Agreements and Maker shall not assert in any such action, suit or other proceeding that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action, suit or other proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the action, suit or other proceeding is improper;

 

(e)           it hereby waives any objections to venue; and

 

(f)            it hereby waives its right to a trial by jury.

 

12.           Severability.   The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision of this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or any portion of any provision contained in this Note is held by a court of law to be invalid, illegal, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written in any respect, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion or provision shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that it is legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of the Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion or provision was not contained therein, and the rights, obligations and interests of Maker and Holder under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect.

 

13.           Usury Laws.  It is the intention of Maker and Holder to conform strictly to the usury laws now or hereafter in force in the state or commonwealth in which the Property is located, and any interest payable under this Note, the Deed of Trust, or any Related Agreement shall be subject to reduction to an amount not to exceed the maximum non-usurious amount for commercial loans allowed under the usury laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Property is located as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction over such matters.   In the event such interest (whether designated as interest, service charges, points, or otherwise) does exceed the maximum legal rate, it shall be:

 

(a)           cancelled automatically to the extent that such interest exceeds the maximum legal rate;

 

(b)           if already paid, at the option of the Holder, either be rebated to Maker or credited on the principal amount of the Note; and

 

(c)           if the Note has been prepaid in full, then such excess shall be rebated to Maker.

 

14.           Acceleration.  Upon an Event of Default, Holder shall have the right, without further demand or notice, to declare the entire principal amount of this Note and/or any Future Advance (as defined in the Deed of Trust) then outstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other further sums payable under this Note, which shall include the Prepayment Premium (calculated as provided in Paragraph 9 above), the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage

 

6



 

or any note evidencing any Future Advance, to be immediately due and payable and, notwithstanding the stated maturity in this Note or any note evidencing any Future Advance, all such sums declared due and payable shall thereupon become immediately due and payable. During the existence of such Event of Default, Holder may apply payments received on any amounts due under the Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage, any Related Agreement or any note evidencing any Future Advance as Holder may determine in its sole discretion.

 

15.           Waivers by Maker.  As to this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Related Agreements and any other instruments securing the indebtedness, Maker and all guarantors, sureties and endorsers, severally waive all applicable exemption rights, whether under any state constitution, homestead laws or otherwise, and also severally waive diligence, valuation and appraisement, presentment for payment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and diligence in collection and nonpayment of this Note and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note (except notice of default specifically provided for in the Deed of Trust and the Related Agreements). To the extent permitted by law, Maker further waives all benefit that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting the Property, or any other property, real or personal, or the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy, or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution to be issued on any judgment recovered on this Note or in any action to foreclose the Deed of Trust, injunction against sale pursuant to power of sale, exemption from civil process or extension of time for payment.  Maker agrees that any real estate or any personalty that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue of this Note, or any writ of execution issued thereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Holder.

 

16.           Maker Not Released. No delay or omission of Holder to exercise any of its rights and remedies under this Note, the Deed of Trust or any Related Agreements at any time following the happening of an Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of the right of Holder to exercise such rights and remedies at a later time by reason of such Event of Default or by reason of any subsequently occurring Event of Default. The acceptance by Holder of payment of any sum payable hereunder after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Holder’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums payable hereunder or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment.   This Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time by agreement in writing between Maker and Holder without in any other way affecting the liability and obligations of Maker and endorsers, if any.

 

17.           Nonrecourse. Except as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph, Holder’s recourse under this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage and the Related Agreements shall be limited to and satisfied from the Property, the Other Property and the proceeds thereof, the rents and all other income arising therefrom during and after the month in which an Event of Default has occurred, the other assets of Maker or the owner arising out of the Property and the Other Property which are given as collateral for this Note and any other collateral given in writing to Holder as security for repayment of this Note (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Loan Collateral”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence:

 

(a)        Holder may, in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage or any Related Agreement: (i) foreclose the lien of the Deed of Trust or the

 

7



 

Other Mortgage; (ii) take appropriate action to enforce this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage and the Related Agreements to realize upon and/or protect the Loan Collateral; (iii) name Maker as a party defendant in any action brought under this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage or the Related Agreements so long as the exercise of any remedy is limited to the Loan Collateral; (iv) pursue all of its rights and remedies against any guarantor or surety or master tenant whether or not a partner, member or other owner of Maker; and (v) pursue all of its rights and remedies against Maker and the indemnitors under that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith and that certain Terrorism Insurance Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith;

 

(b)          Holder may seek damages or other monetary relief, to the extent of actual monetary loss, or any other remedy at law or in equity against Maker, and the indemnitors/guarantors, if any, under any nonrecourse exception indemnity agreements (“Nonrecourse Indemnitors”) by reason of or in connection with: (i) the failure of Maker to pay to Holder, upon demand, all rents, issues and profits of the Property to which Holder is entitled pursuant to this Note, the Deed of Trust or the Related Agreements following an Event of Default; (ii) any waste of the Property or any willful act or omission by Maker which damages or materially reduces the value of the Property; (iii) the distribution of rents, issues and profits from the Property prior to the payment of operating expenses or the provision for reserves, if any, to be made pursuant to this Note, the Deed of Trust or the Related Agreement prior to any other expenditure or distribution by Maker; (iv) the failure to account for and to turn over security deposits (and interest required by law or agreement to be paid thereon) or prepaid rents following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Note, the Deed of Trust or any Related Agreements; (v) the failure to timely pay all real estate taxes or any regular or special assessments affecting the Property; (vi) the failure to account for and to turn over real estate tax accruals following the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Note, the Deed of Trust or any Related Agreements; (vii) the failure to maintain casualty and liability insurance as required under the Deed of Trust or the Related Agreements or to apply insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to the Property or other collateral in the manner required under applicable provisions of this Note, the Deed of Trust or any Related Agreements; (viii) any modification, termination or cancellation of any lease of all or any portion of the Property without Holder’s prior written consent, if and to the extent such consent is required under the Deed of Trust or the Related Agreements and if and to the extent such modification, termination or cancellation has a material adverse affect on the value of the Property; (ix) a default by Maker under any lease of all or any portion of the Property; (x) all transfer, recordation or other taxes imposed at any time by the State of Colorado, Boulder County, Colorado or other governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Property relating to this Note, the Deed of Trust or any Related Agreement; or (xi) costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and transfer taxes, incurred by Holder in connection with the enforcement of this Note, the Deed of Trust or the Related Agreements or in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure if the Event of Default giving rise to the enforcement action is one described in subsections (b) or (c) as an exception to the nonrecourse provisions, or if the Maker or any principal of Maker objects to any actions taken by Holder to exercise its remedies under the Loan Documents; Maker or principal of Maker commences any lawsuit to enjoin or delay a foreclosure of the Property by Holder, or raises defenses or counterclaims to a foreclosure action; Maker applies for the appointment, of a receiver, trustee or liquidator for it or for any of its property, or, as a debtor, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or petition or answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with

 

8



 

creditors or takes advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or in the event any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (voluntary or involuntary), the Maker or any principal of Maker opposes any motion by Holder for relief from the Automatic Stay; and

 

(c)           Maker, any general partners of Maker and the Nonrecourse Indemnitor(s), if any, shall become personally liable for payment of all the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and performance of all other obligations of Maker under this Note, the Deed of Trust and Related Agreements upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by Maker, any general partners of Maker, or Nonrecourse Indemnitor(s), if any, in connection with this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Related Agreements or any request for any action or consent by Holder; (ii) a Transfer of any interest in Maker or all or any portion of the Property or any interest therein in violation of the terms of this Note, the Deed of Trust or the Related Agreements; or (iii) the incurrence by Maker of any indebtedness in violation of the terms of this Note, the Deed of Trust or Related Agreements (whether secured or unsecured, direct or contingent), other than unsecured debt or routine trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with the operation of the Property.

 

In addition, Maker, any general partners of Maker and the Nonrecourse Indemnitors, if any, shall be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred by Holder in connection with the collection of any amounts for which Maker, its general partners, if any, and the Nonrecourse Indemnitors, if any, are personally liable under this Paragraph 17, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

 

18.           Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Note shall be binding upon Maker and its legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of any Holder and its successors and assigns.   In the event Maker is composed of more than one party, obligations arising from this Note are and shall be joint and several as to each such party.

 

19.           Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Holder as provided in this Note or in the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage or the Related Agreements, and the warranties contained herein or therein shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued singly, successively or together at the sole discretion of Holder, may be exercised as often as occasion for their exercise shall occur and in no event shall the failure to exercise any such right or remedy be construed as a waiver or release of such right or remedy.   No remedy under this Note, conferred upon or reserved to Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy provided in this Note, the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage or any of the Related Agreements or provided by law, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Deed of Trust, the Other Mortgage or any of the Related Agreements or hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

Re:      Allstate Life Insurance Company

            Loan No. 122561

            Fox Creek Village, 1601-1645 Pace Street

            Longmont, Colorado(the “Property”)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to our Commitment Letter dated December 17, 2004, as amended (the “Commitment”) with respect to a $11,485,000 loan (the “Loan”) to be evidenced by a Mortgage Note of even date herewith payable to Allstate Life Insurance Company in the principal amount the Loan (the “Note”), and to be secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Contracts, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing of even date herewith (the “Deed of Trust”) encumbering the Property. Initially capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) have the same meanings given them in the Deed of Trust.

 

In consideration of your execution and delivery of the documents evidencing, securing or otherwise pertaining to the Loan (the “Loan Documents”), you (the “Borrower”) and we (“Lender”) hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Related Agreement. This Letter Agreement shall constitute a Related Agreement

 

2.             Impounds. With regard to the provisions contained in Section 1.06 of the Deed of Trust requiring Borrower to deposit 1/12 of the annual amounts of real estate taxes, regular and special assessments and insurance premiums, Lender hereby agrees to defer collection of such monthly deposits for so long as (a) Borrower is the sole fee simple owner of the Property; and (b) no Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents and no condition or event exists which with notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default; and (c) at Lender’s election, Borrower either pays for a tax reporting service or Borrower promptly and consistently furnishes evidence that taxes and insurance are being currently paid.

 

3.             Earthquake Insurance. With regard to the provisions contained in Section 1.02 of the Deed of Trust requiring Borrower obtain earthquake insurance coverage on the Property, Lender hereby agrees to waive such requirement until such time as such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates and in Lender’s reasonable opinion such coverage is generally required by other institutional lenders.

 

4.             Borrower’s Right to Transfer the Property.    Notwithstanding the provisions contained in Section 1.08 and other applicable provisions of the Deed of Trust, Borrower shall have a one time right, provided there is no Event of Default or default or event which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, could result in an Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents, to assign, sell or transfer all of the Property (the “Permitted Transfer”) to a

 



 

party with experience, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in managing property similar to the Property and whose financial condition is reasonably satisfactory to Lender (“Permitted Transferee”). The Permitted Transfer shall be further conditioned upon:

 

(a)           the payment by Borrower to Lender of a transfer fee equal to one percent of the outstanding principal balance of the Note (a nonrefundable $5,000 deposit toward such transfer fee shall be due at the time Borrower initially requests a Permitted Transfer, the balance of the transfer fee shall be due on the closing of the transaction);

 

(b)           the reimbursement of all of Lender’s expenses, including legal fees, incurred in connection with the Permitted Transfer;

 

(c)           the Permitted Transferee and such general partners or principals of Permitted Transferee as Lender may request, assuming, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, all obligations  of Borrower  under the  Loan  Documents,  including,  without  limitation,  the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and any nonrecourse exception indemnity agreement, with the same degree of recourse liability as Borrower and subject to the same exculpatory provisions;

 

(d)           Lender’s receipt of a title policy complying with the requirements of the Commitment, updated to the date of the Permitted Transfer, evidencing that such Permitted Transfer will not adversely affect Lender’s first and prior lien on the Property or any other rights or interests granted to Lender under the Loan Documents;

 

(e)           Lender’s receipt of opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender that all previous opinions, pertaining to Borrower are true with respect to the Permitted Transferee and the Permitted Transferee has duly assumed the Loan Documents, and same are valid and enforceable against Permitted Transferee and the Property; and that Borrower has the requisite power and authority to properly transfer the Property;

4.3                               Estoppel Certificates.  Following the Effective Date, Seller will make good faith efforts to obtain from each of the tenants under the Leases, signed estoppel certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-l (the “Estoppel Certificates”). The parties acknowledge that “good faith efforts” will not be deemed to require the payment of fees or other consideration that may be required by a tenant as a condition to issuing an Estoppel Certificate; provided that Purchaser shall be under no obligation to close unless, not later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, original or faxed copies of estoppel certificates have been received for the following tenants (a) Bi-Lo Supermarket and Blockbuster Video; plus (b) tenants of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining square footage of the Property currently leased to tenants, not including Blockbuster Video and Bi-Lo Supermarket (the “Required Estoppels”). Following receipt from a tenant, Seller shall fax or deliver the signed Estoppel Certificates to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval or disapproval. Purchaser’s failure to disapprove of any Estoppel Certificate by written notice to Seller within five (5) business days after delivery of a copy thereof shall be deemed Purchaser’s approval thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have the right to disapprove of any Estoppel Certificate which is in form and substance materially the same as the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-l (except as to information provided by the tenant) or in the form of estoppel certificate permitted under such tenant’s Lease and which is not materially inconsistent with the Lease of such Tenant. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not reject Estoppel Certificates with commercially reasonable markups or changes initiated by the Tenant. If any Estoppel Certificate is disapproved by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure such deficiencies and obtain and deliver to Purchaser, a revised Estoppel Certificate, on or before three (3) business days prior to Closing. Additionally, if Seller provides the Required Estoppels but is unable to provide an acceptable Estoppel Certificate from any remaining tenant (up to 100% of the total square footage of the Property), then Seller, not later than three (3) business days prior to Closing, shall deliver to Purchaser an Estoppel Certificate certified by Seller, to Seller’s

knowledge, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 (the “Seller’s Estoppel”), which certification shall survive the Closing for a maximum period of one (1) year (provided, however, if Seller subsequently delivers a Estoppel Certificate from such tenant(s), Seller shall thereafter be released from such certification).

 

If, by three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller has not delivered all of the Estoppel Certificates or Seller’s Estoppel required hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall have the right to avoid termination of this Agreement by extending the Closing Date for one (1) period of up to fifteen (15) days for the purposes of obtaining the necessary Estoppel Certificates to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.3 by providing written notice to Purchaser not later than two (2) days prior to the scheduled Closing Date. If Purchaser timely terminates this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be delivered by Escrow Holder to Purchaser, and Purchaser and Seller shall not have any further liability to the other under this Agreement except those obligations expressly surviving termination of this Agreement.  Failure to obtain the Estoppel Certificates shall not be a breach of this Agreement, unless Seller has failed to make a good faith effort to obtain such Estoppel Certificates.

 

4.4                               Due Diligence/Termination Right.  Purchaser shall have through the last day of the Inspection Period in which to (i) examine, inspect, and investigate the Property Information (collectively, the “Property Documents”) and the Property and, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, determine whether the Property is acceptable to Purchaser, (ii) obtain all necessary internal approvals, and (iii) satisfy all other contingencies of Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason by giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent (the “Due Diligence Termination Notice”) on or before the last day of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser does not give a Due Diligence Termination Notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has received or had access to all Property Documents and conducted all inspections and tests of the Property that it considers important.

 

4.5                               Return of Documents and Reports.  If this Agreement terminates for any reason, Purchaser shall promptly return and/or deliver to Seller all Property Documents and copies thereof.   Additionally, if this Agreement terminates for any reason, then Purchaser must deliver to Seller copies of all third party reports, investigations and studies, other than economic analyses (collectively, the “Reports” and, individually, a “Report”) prepared for Purchaser in connection with its due diligence review of the Property provided Seller first delivers to Purchaser the total, actual cost of all such Reports. The Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto, and Seller shall have no right to rely on any Report without the written consent of the party preparing same.    Purchaser’s obligation to deliver the Property Documents and the Reports to Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

10



 

4.6                               Service Contracts.  Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all Service Contracts.

 

4.7                               Proprietary Information; Confidentiality.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Property Documents are proprietary and confidential (except to the extent available from third parties) and will be delivered to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property.    Purchaser shall not use the Property Documents for any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall not disclose the contents to any person other than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and who have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby, or to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency to which Purchaser is legally obligated to disclose such matters, (collectively, “Permitted Outside Parties”). At any time and from time to time, within two (2) business days after Seller’s request, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of all parties to whom Purchaser has provided any Property Documents or any information taken from the Property Documents,  Purchaser shall not divulge the contents of the Property Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 4.7.    In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Documents or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created.

 

4.8                               No Representation or Warranty by Seller.  Purchaser acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller has not made any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the source(s) thereof.   Purchaser further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Seller.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property Documents, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the Property’s physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto. Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents and is providing the Property Documents solely as an accommodation to Purchaser.

 

4.9                               Purchaser’s Responsibilities.  In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the Property and/or Property Documents, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall: (i) not unreasonably disturb the tenants or interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to their respective Leases; (ii) not interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party unless any such

 

11



 

damage is repaired promptly to Seller’s satisfaction; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller, or its respective agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or any tenants or their guests or invitees; (v) comply with all applicable laws; (vi) promptly pay when due the costs of all its tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the Property; (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder; (viii) repair any damage to the Real Property resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests; and (ix) not reveal or disclose prior to Closing any information obtained during the Inspection Period concerning the Property and the Property Documents to anyone other than the Permitted Outside Parties, in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in Section 4.7 above, or except as may be otherwise required by law.

 

4.10                        Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify.  Purchaser indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Purchaser’s inspections or tests permitted under this Agreement or any violation of the provisions of Sections 4.2, 4.7 and 4.9; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Seller from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by Purchaser (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser’s actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller. Purchaser also indemnifies and holds Seller and any tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses which such tenant may suffer or incur due to Purchaser’s breach of its obligation under Section 4.8 above to maintain the confidential nature of any Property Documents or other information relative to such tenant. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

 

ARTICLE 5

TITLE AND SURVEY

 

5.1                               Title Commitment.  Purchaser shall obtain: (i) a   current  ALTA commitment for title insurance with extended coverage (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price, with Purchaser as the proposed insured, and (ii) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property.

 

5.2                               New or Updated Survey.  Purchaser, at its expense, may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re-certify Seller’s existing survey (“Survey”)  as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy or to otherwise satisfy Purchaser’s objectives.

 

5.3                               Title Review.  During the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing, and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of

 

12



 

any such financing liens. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent.

 

Prior to the expiration of the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller of any objections to the state of title to the Property, which objections shall be made in writing and delivered to Seller (a “Title/Survey Objection Notice”). If Purchaser shall fail to deliver a Title/Survey Objection Notice on or before the expiration of the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to the Title Commitment and the form and substance of the Survey and all matters shown thereon, except those exceptions that Seller is obligated to remove as provided herein. If Purchaser delivers a Title/Survey Objection Notice, Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within five (5) days after receipt of the Title/Survey Objection Notice (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate or ameliorate to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction the disapproved title or survey matters by giving Purchaser written notice (“Seller’s Title/Survey Notice”) of those disapproved title or survey matters, if any, which Seller agrees to so eliminate or ameliorate by the Closing Date. Any title exception disapproved by Purchaser shall be deemed ameliorated to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction to the extent that Seller either causes such exception to be removed from the Title Commitment or to be affirmatively insured over, if Seller does not elect to, or is unable to, eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved title or survey matters, or if Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title/Survey Notice, Purchaser shall have the right, on or before five (5) days following the expiration of Seller’s Election Period, to either: (a) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matters shall be deemed approved; or (b) terminate this Agreement. Failure to take either one of the actions described in subsections (a) and (b), above, shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s election to take the action described in subsection (a), above. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in subsection (b), above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Earnest Money shall be delivered by Escrow Agent to Purchaser, and Purchaser and Seller shall not have any further liability to the other under this Agreement except those obligations expressly surviving termination of this Agreement.

 

For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the specific exceptions in the Title Commitment or Survey which were not disapproved by Purchaser as provided in this Section 5.3; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; real estate taxes not yet due and payable; tenants under the Leases; and any licensees under any Service Contracts not terminated as of Closing.

ARTICLE 6

OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

 

6.1                               Ongoing Operations.

 

6.1.1                     Leases and Service Contracts.  From the Effective Date through Closing, Seller will perform its material obligations under the Leases and Service Contracts.

 

6.1.2                    New Contracts.  From the Effective Date through Closing, Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the payment of any termination penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice.

 

6.1.3                     Maintenance of Improvements; Removal of Personal Property.  From the Effective Date through Closing, subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, Seller shall maintain all Improvements substantially in their present condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) and in a manner consistent with Seller’s maintenance of the Improvements during Seller’s period of ownership. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property. Seller will maintain all policies of insurance with respect to the Property which were in effect on the Effective Date.

 

6.1.4                     Leasing.  From and after the date which is five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease or enter into any new Lease without the consent of Purchaser.  If Purchaser’s consent is requested by Seller as to any amendment or termination of a Lease or new Lease, Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment or termination of a Lease or new Lease within five (5) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of the proposed amendment, termination, or new Lease. If Purchaser does not respond to Seller’s request within such time period, then Purchaser will be deemed to  have  approved such amendment, termination or new  Lease. Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed amendment, termination or new Lease. Purchaser’s  disapproval  will  be  deemed  to  be  reasonable  if a  proposed amendment or new Lease is on terms and conditions which are not consistent with those other Leases in the Real Property, including, but not limited to, term, rentals and expense recoveries.

 

6.2                               Damage.  If prior to Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.

 

14



 

6.2.1                     Material.  In the event of any Material Damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full thirty-day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers).   Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this  Agreement.     If Purchaser does not terminate  this Agreement within said thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and credit Purchaser at Closing for the amount of the deductible, if any, and Purchaser shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, exceeds $250,000.00 to repair or which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, will take longer than one hundred eighty (180) days to repair.

 

6.2.2                     Not Material.  If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at Closing, assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser and credit Purchaser at Closing for the amount of the deductible, if any.

 

6.3                               Condemnation.  If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the entire Property or any portion thereof which affects (a) the Improvements; (b) any parking areas in the Property; or (c) access to a public street, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full ten-day period to make such election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall he immediately returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above.

PRORATIONS, DEPOSITS, COMMISSIONS

 

8.1                               Prorations.  At Closing, the following items shall be prorated as of the date of Closing with all items of income and expense for the Property being borne by Purchaser from and after (but including) the date of Closing: Tenant Receivables (defined below) and other income and rents that were due and payable prior to Closing; fees and assessments; prepaid expenses and obligations under Service Contracts; accrued operating expenses; real and personal ad valorem taxes (“Taxes”); and any assessments by private covenant for the then-current calendar year of Closing. Specifically, the following shall apply to such prorations and to post-Closing collections of Tenant Receivables:

 

8.1.1                     Taxes.  If Taxes for the year of Closing are not known or cannot be reasonably estimated, Taxes shall be prorated based on Taxes for the year prior to Closing, subject to adjustment by the parties if the actual Taxes vary from the prior year’s Taxes, pursuant to Section 8.1(b). Any additional Taxes relating to the year of Closing or prior years arising solely out of a change in the use of the Real Property or a change in ownership from Seller to Purchaser shall be assumed by Purchaser effective as of Closing and paid by Purchaser when due and payable, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all such Taxes, which indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing. At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall determine the estimated amount of Taxes to be reimbursed by Bi-Lo Supermarkets for the period of time up to the Closing (the “Bi-Lo Tax Payment”). The amount of the Bi-Lo Tax Payment shall be calculated based on the most recently-available tax bill. The Bi-Lo Tax Payment shall be deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent, to be released to Seller if and when Bi-Lo Supermarkets makes the Bi-Lo Tax Payment to Purchaser (and subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.1.3(b)). If Bi-Lo Supermarkets fails or refuses to make the Bi-Lo Tax Payment when it is due after demand is made by Purchaser, then the Bi-Lo Tax Payment shall be released to Purchaser and Seller shall reserve all rights to pursue payment of the Bi-Lo Tax Payment from Bi-Lo Supermarkets.

 

8.1.2                     Utilities.  Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities to its name as of the Closing Date, and where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date or, alternatively, to take a credit for same on the settlement statement at Closing if said deposit remains in place for Buyer’s benefit.

 

19



 

8.1.3                     Tenant Receivables.  Rents due from tenants under Leases and operating expenses and/or taxes payable by tenants under Leases (collectively, “Tenant Receivables”) and not collected by Seller as of Closing shall not be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing but shall be apportioned on the basis of the period for which the same is payable and if, as and when collected, as follows:

 

(a)                                  Rent and other income received from tenants under Leases after Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing and applicable to the period of time after Closing, which amount shall be retained by Purchaser; and (ii) second, to payment of Tenant Receivables first coming due after Closing but applicable to the period of time before Closing, including, without limitation, the Tenant Receivables described in Subsection 8.1.3(b) below (collectively, “Unbilled Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller; and (iii) thereafter, to delinquent Tenant Receivables which were due and payable as of Closing but not collected by Seller as of Closing (collectively, “Uncollected Delinquent Tenant Receivables”), which amount shall be delivered to Seller. Any sums received by Purchaser to which Seller is entitled shall be held in trust for Seller on account of such past due rents payable to Seller, and Purchaser shall remit to Seller any such sums received by Purchaser to which Seller is entitled within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof less reasonable, actual costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, if any. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any amounts after the Closing Date which are attributable, in whole or in part, to any period after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit to Purchaser that portion of the monies so received by Seller to which Purchaser is entitled within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. With respect to Unbilled Tenant Receivables, Purchaser covenants and agrees to (A) bill the same when billable and (B) cooperate with Seller to determine the correct amount of operating expenses and/or taxes due. The provisions of this Subsection 8.1.3(a) shall survive the Closing.

 

(b)                                  Not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which reconciliation for 2004 with tenants are complete (the “Final Reconciliation Date”), Seller and Purchaser shall agree upon a final reconciliation of operating expenses and/or taxes due under the Leases, and adjustments may be made to the Closing prorations (i) to the extent expenses were not prorated at Closing, or (ii) to the extent expenses were prorated at Closing based on estimates which can now be updated or verified with actual figures. Without limiting the generality of the requirements of Subsection 8.1.3(a) above, if the final reconciliation (after consideration of any escrow accounts held by Lender) shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser, said amount shall be paid by Seller

Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary, in the event of Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies

 

23



 

available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property (other than a claim for money damages) that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and marketable title to the Property. In all other events Seller’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.1 and Sections 4.10, 8.5, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof. If Closing is consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

10.2                        Purchaser’s Remedies.  If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Earnest Money, (ii) enforce specific performance or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before thirty (30) business days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within six (6) months following the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.2 and Sections 10.3 and 10.4 hereof.

 

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER SELLER’S OR PURCHASER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

 

10.3                        Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, then upon the entry of a final, non-appealable judgment, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and court costs, incurred in connection with such transaction.

 

10.4                      Other Expenses.  If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to Escrow Agent for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment.

 

24



 

10.5                        Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event whatsoever shall Purchaser or Seller have the right to seek or recover money damages from the other except for actual pecuniary loss not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate, as a result of any breach or default by Seller or Purchaser under any of the terms of this Agreement. Each party specifically and without limitation hereby waives and relinquishes any right to seek or recover from Seller, and specifically acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall such other party be liable, any damages in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000) nor for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.

13.14                 Further Assurances.  In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to further perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser.

13.16                 No Third Party Beneficiary.  The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing, except that a tenant of the Property may enforce Purchaser’s indemnity obligation under Section 4.10 hereof.

 

13.17                 Cooperation with Purchaser’s Audit.  Seller agrees, at Purchaser’s expense, to cooperate fully with Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives to facilitate Purchaser’s evaluations and reports, including at least a one (1) year audit of the books and records of the Property that qualify, comply with and can be used in a public offering.

Exhibit 10.437

 

REINSTATEMENT OF AND AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND

SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

 

THIS REINSTATEMENT OF AND AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of November 4, 2004 by and between Donahue Schriber Realty Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), and Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Buyer”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.                                   Seller and Buyer entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions dated as of October 11, 2004 (as previously amended in writing, the “Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement) with respect to the property known as Placentia Village Center located in Placentia, California. Buyer terminated the Agreement in accordance with its terms on November 3, 2004.

 

B.                                     Seller and Buyer now desire to reinstate the Agreement, to acknowledge certain matters with respect to the Agreement, and to amend the Agreement, as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, Buyer and Seller agree as follows with respect to the Agreement:

 

1.                                       Reinstatement; Waiver of Contingencies; Reduction of Purchase Price; Closing Date. The Agreement is hereby reinstated in accordance with its terms, as amended by this Amendment. November 3, 2004 is acknowledged to have been the Decision Date, and Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Amendment (effective upon receipt of a faxed counterpart executed by Seller) constitutes Buyer’s waiver of all rights to terminate the Agreement on or before the Decision Date. Due to the amount of scheduled rent under the November 1, 2004 lease (the “Callender Lease”) between Landlord and Marie Callender Pie Shops Inc. lease (the “Callender”), the Purchase Price is hereby reduced by the sum of $35,000.00 and accordingly is the sum of Twenty Four Million Eight Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($24,865,000.00). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, if Callender does not execute and deliver an extension of the Callender Lease prior to Closing, in substantially the form of the extension previously delivered to Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and have the Deposit returned to it. The Closing Date shall be November 10, 2004; provided, however, if Buyer has the right to terminate the Agreement on November 10, 2004 pursuant to the previous sentence or in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Agreement, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date until November 16, 2004 to enable Seller to attempt to obtain more Estoppols (and a CC&R Estoppel, if applicable, and the executed Callender Lease extension, if applicable).

 

1



 

2.                                       Escrow for Callender. Pursuant to Exhibit C of the Callender Lease, Seller is to provide Callender with a tenant improvement allowance in the amount of up to $100,000. At Closing, Seller shall deposit into escrow, with Escrow Holder, the sum of $100,000 (the “Callender Funds”). The Callendar Funds (or the applicable portion thereof) shall be released to Buyer (for immediate release to Callender) upon Buyer’s delivery of Buyer’s written certification (“Buyer’s Callender Certification”) to Seller and Escrow Holder that Callender is entitled to the Callender Funds (or the specified portion thereof) pursuant to Exhibit C of the Callender Lease.  Once Callender has obtained all of the Callender Funds to which it is entitled under Exhibit C to the Callender Lease, any remaining balance of the Callender Funds still held by Escrow Holder shall be released to Seller.

 

3.                                       Escrow for Huntington. Seller has entered into a lease (the “Huntington Lease”) dated September 7, 2004 with S&E Learning, Inc. (“Huntington”) covering a portion of the Property as more particularly described therein (the “Huntington Premises”). Huntington has not yet finished its tenant improvements as required by the Huntington Lease nor has the “Commencement Date” (as defined in the Huntington Lease) occurred. Pursuant to the Huntington Lease, Seller is obligated to pay $25,000 to Huntington for tenant improvements (the “Huntington TIs”), and $16,520 to the broker owed the same (the “Broker”) for leasing commissions (the “Huntington Commissions”). Pursuant to the Huntington Lease, on the Commencement Date, Huntington is obligated to pay to the landlord thereunder the sum of $5,451.58 per month for base rent (for the 1st 12 months, to be increased by 3% for the 2nd 12 months and $1,355.00 per month for estimated operating expenses (the sum of the foregoing amounts, being $6,806.58, not taking into consideration the 3% increase, is herein called the “Monthly Huntington Rent”). At Closing, Seller shall deposit into escrow, with Escrow Holder, the sum of $207,328.29 (the “Huntington Funds”) with respect to the Huntington Lease (said sum equals the product of the Monthly Huntington Rent times twenty four (24), plus the Huntington TIs and plus the Huntington Commission). The Huntington TIs (or the applicable portion thereof) shall be released to Buyer (for immediate release to Huntington) upon Buyer’s delivery of Buyer’s written certification (“Buyer’s Huntington Certification”) to Seller and Escrow Holder that Huntington is entitled to the Huntington TIs (or the specified portion thereof) pursuant to Article VII of Exhibit B to the Huntington’s Lease. The Huntington Commission shall be disbursed by Escrow Holder to Broker upon the Commencement Date. Commencing the Closing Date, and on the eighth (8th) day of each month thereafter until the Commencement Date, the Huntington Monthly Rent (or a prorated portion thereof for the month of Closing and the month the Commencement Date occurs) shall be promptly disbursed to Buyer from the Huntington Funds upon Buyer’s delivery of written certification to Escrow Holder and Seller that Huntington has not yet paid the Huntington Monthly Rent then due. In the event that, after Buyer shall have been paid the Huntington Monthly Rent (or any portion thereof) out of the Huntington Funds for any particular month, Buyer should receive payment of all or any portion of the Huntington Monthly Rent from Huntington for such month, Buyer shall immediately remit the same to Seller. Upon the Commencement Date, the Huntington Funds still being held by Escrow Holder and not previously disbursed by Escrow Holder pursuant to this Section 3 shall be promptly disbursed to Seller. Buyer agrees to notify Seller in writing promptly upon the Commencement Date.

Seller further agrees that Seller shall not, for a period of 2 years after the Closing, lease space in Seller’s adjacent shopping center to the tenant at the Property doing business as “Beauty Avenue”.

 

5.                                       Agreement in Effect. The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control over any inconsistent terms and provisions of the Agreement. Except as amended hereby, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Agreement is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If required by Escrow Holder, Buyer and Seller shall enter into a separate escrow agreement with
Escrow Holder to implement the post-Closing elements of this Amendment, provided such escrow agreement is not in conflict with this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and both of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.

1.               PURCHASE AND SALE

 

1.1                   Agreement to Buy and Sell. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey to Buyer and Buyer hereby agrees to acquire and purchase from Seller the following (collectively, the “Property”):

 

1.1.1        All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to that certain parcel of real property described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, together with all of Seller’s rights, privileges and easements appurtenant thereto (collectively, the “Land”);

1.1.2                        All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all tangible personal property, if any, located on or affixed to the Project and used in connection with the ownership, operation, use or maintenance of the Project, and all intangible property, if any, owned or held by Seller that pertains to the ownership, maintenance, use or operation of the Project, including but not limited to the Project’s name (collectively, the “Personal Property”);

 

1.1.3                        All of Seller’s interest in any leases or other agreements demising space in or providing for the use or occupancy of any portion of the Project (collectively, the “Leases”); and

 

1.1.4                        All of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any and all service contracts, maintenance agreements, warranties, guaranties, permits and licenses and other contracts and agreements relating to the Property, if any, which continue in full force and effect beyond the

 

1



 

“Closing” (as defined below) (collectively, the “Contracts”), to the extent the Contracts are assignable. The Property does not include cash, any insurance claims (except to the extent Section 4.5 is applicable), or any other claims against third parties.

 

1.2                   Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property shall be the sum of Twenty Four Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($24,900,000) (the “Purchase Price”).

 

1.3                   Payment of Purchase Price.   The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

 

1.3.1                        Within two (2) business days after the “Effective Date” (as defined below), Buyer shall deliver to Stewart Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Holder” or the “Title Company”), in immediately available funds, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (said sum, together with any interest earned thereon while held by Escrow Holder, is herein called the “Deposit”).    Escrow Holder shall deposit the Deposit into an interest-bearing account satisfactory to Buyer pending disbursement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement by delivery of written notice of termination (the “Termination Notice”) to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before October 27, 2004 (the “Decision Date”), the Deposit shall be non-refundable after the Decision Date, except in the event of Seller’s “Default” (as defined below) that occurs or continues after the Decision Date and except as otherwise expressly herein provided, and shall be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing.

2.               OPENING OF ESCROW

 

2.1                   Escrow; Escrow Holder. Within two (2) business days after Seller shall have executed this Agreement, Seller shall open an escrow (the “Escrow”) with Escrow Holder at 505 N.

The date the Escrow is opened pursuant to the preceding sentence is herein called the “Effective Date”. Escrow Holder shall promptly advise Buyer and Seller of the Effective Date.

 

2.2                   Escrow Instructions. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall constitute both an agreement between Seller and Buyer and escrow instructions for Escrow Holder. Seller and Buyer shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Holder any separate or additional escrow instructions requested by Escrow Holder that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Any separate or additional instructions shall not modify or amend the provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly set forth by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller.

2



 

satisfaction of Buyer) of the “Deed” (as defined below) in the Official Records of Orange County, California and the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller.

 

2.3                   Closing Date. Escrow shall close on or before November 1, 2004 (the “Closing Date”).

 

3.               ACTIONS PENDING CLOSING

 

3.1                   Buyer’s Review of Title.

 

3.1.1                        Prior to execution of this Agreement Seller has delivered to Buyer a copy of a current preliminary title report or commitment for title insurance (as well as a copy of each exception referenced therein) showing the condition of title to the Property (the “Title Report”), and a survey of the Property (the “Survey”). Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with obtaining an update of the Survey, but in no event shall Seller be in breach or default by reason of the contents, or timing of delivery of the update, of the Survey.

 

3.1.2                        Buyer shall have until October 25, 2004 (the “Title Date”) within which to deliver to Seller written notice of Buyer’s disapproval of title as shown on the Title Report and Survey (those title matters identified on the Title Report and Survey and timely disapproved in writing by Buyer are hereafter called the “Disapproved Exceptions”). Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice to Seller on or before the Title Date shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition of title as shown on the Title Report and Survey.

 

3.1.3                        Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within two (2) business days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of Disapproved Exceptions that: (a) Seller will remove such Disapproved Exceptions from title as of or before Closing; or (b) Seller will not remove any or certain specified Disapproved Exceptions from title. Seller’s failure to address any Disapproved Exceptions in any notice, or failure to give a notice as to any Disapproved Exceptions, shall constitute Seller’s statement that it will not remove such Disapproved Exceptions from title.

 

3.1.4                        If Seller does not provide Buyer with written notice that it shall remove all Disapproved Exceptions from title, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice of termination in accordance with Section 3.3 on or before the Decision Date, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy. Buyer’s failure to provide such notice of termination on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of its disapproval of the Disapproved Exceptions. In the case of Buyer’s waiver (or deemed waiver) of Disapproved Exceptions, Seller shall have no obligation to remove or otherwise address such Disapproved Exceptions from title, and such waived Disapproved Exceptions shall be deemed approved. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1.4, the provisions of Section 3.3 shall apply. Except for the Disapproved Exceptions Seller removes or covenants to remove, the exceptions to title shown by the Title Report and Survey and any encumbrance arising from the acts of Buyer are called the “Permitted Exceptions” in this Agreement. In no event shall any mortgage or judgment liens be Permitted Exceptions, and in no event shall any exceptions created by Seller after the Effective Date that materially adversely affect title to the Property be Permitted Exceptions, and Seller shall cause the same to be removed at or before Closing. Should a supplemental Title Report be issued by the Title Company after the date of the original Title Report disclosing additional title exceptions that

 

3



 

adversely affect the condition of title to the Property, then the Title Date shall, if applicable, be extended to the date that is three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the supplemental Title Report, and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the extent necessary to accommodate the approval procedures of Section 3.1.3 and this Section 3.1.4.

 

3.2                   Buyer’s Review of the Property; Agreements. Seller has provided Buyer with copies of (or make available to Buyer for review at the Project) the items reflected on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Due Diligence Documents”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, (i) Seller’s responsibility to provide Due Diligence Documents shall be limited to those Due Diligence Documents in Seller’s (or its property manager’s) possession (without limiting the foregoing, those items that are marked “not in our possession” on Schedule 3.1 shall not be provided), (ii) Seller shall not be required to generate reports or analyses not typically prepared (or reflecting information not typically reflected) in Seller’s ordinary course of business, and (iii) the Due Diligence Documents are provided as an accommodation to Buyer and, except for any representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller expressly disclaims any and all representations and warranties regarding the same. On or before the Decision Date, Buyer shall have reviewed the foregoing and prepared, obtained, reviewed (or shall have chosen not to have prepared, obtained or reviewed) and approved, among other things, all other reports of investigations of the Property, including, such soil, environmental, geological and engineering tests and reports, and other inspections of the Property as Buyer shall deem necessary in order to determine whether the Property is suitable for Buyer’s intended use, as well as investigated (or chosen not to have investigated) all zoning requirements, federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, approvals and orders applicable to the Property. Pursuant to and subject to the requirements of Section 3.5 of this Agreement, Buyer may enter onto the Property for the purpose of conducting its inspection (the “Inspection”) of the Property; provided, however, without first obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, Buyer shall only conduct a visual inspection, with no right to conduct any physical testing, boring, sampling or removal (collectively “Physical Testing”) of any portion of the Property. If Buyer wishes to conduct any Physical Testing of the Property, Buyer shall submit a work plan to Seller prior to the Decision Date for Seller’s prior written approval, which work plan Seller may modify, limit or disapprove in its reasonable discretion. If, on the basis of the review and the Inspection described in this Section 3.2, or if for any other reason or no reason, Buyer determines that the Property is not suitable for Buyer’s intended use, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering the Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Decision Date. Buyer’s failure to deliver the Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s approval of the aforementioned items and of the condition of the Property.

 

3.3                   Buyer’s Termination. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3.1.4 or 3.2, Buyer shall deliver the Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Decision Date. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 4.4 or 4.5, then on or before the dates specified therein, Buyer shall deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to said Sections. Buyer’s failure to timely deliver such termination notice pursuant to said Sections of this Agreement shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to said Sections. If Buyer timely elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3.1.4, 3.2, 4.1.7,

 

4



 

4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.7, Escrow Holder shall deliver the Deposit to Buyer, less fifty percent (50%) of any Escrow termination fee, and Escrow Holder shall return to the depositor thereof any other materials previously placed in Escrow and remaining in Escrow; and neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise herein.

 

3.4                   No Processing. Without Seller’s prior written consent, until the Closing, Buyer shall not make any application to any governmental agency for any permit, approval, license or other entitlement for the Property or the use or development thereof.

 

3.5                   Access to Property.

 

3.5.1                        Subject to the rights of existing tenants of the Property (“Tenants”), whom Buyer hereby agrees not to interview or question without having provided Seller and Seller’s Broker (as defined below) with at least 24 hours prior written notice of its intention to do so during such interview, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s representatives, agents, employees and contractors (collectively, “Buyer’s Agents”) a nonexclusive license to enter onto the Property solely for the purpose of conducting Buyer’s Inspection. Any Inspection work shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer. The license created under this Section 3.5.1 shall expire on termination of this Agreement. At least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any entry and Inspection, Buyer shall provide Seller with sufficient evidence to show that Buyer and Buyer’s Agents, who are to enter upon the Property, are adequately covered by policies of insurance issued by a carrier reasonably acceptable to Seller insuring Buyer and Seller against any and all liability arising out of Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry upon and Inspection of the Property, including without limitation any loss or damage to the Property, with coverage in the amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

 

3.5.2                        Buyer agrees to keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Buyer or Buyer’s Agents with respect to any Inspection or Physical Testing of the Property. If any such lien shall at any time be filed, Buyer shall cause the same to be discharged of record within twenty (20) days thereafter by satisfying the same or, if Buyer in its discretion and in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, by recording a bond. Failure by Buyer to discharge such lien shall be a material breach of this Agreement and Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Buyer.

 

3.5.3                        Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, or policies in conducting the Inspection and the Physical Testing.

 

3.5.4                        Buyer hereby agrees to hold harmless, protect, defend and indemnify, and hereby releases, Seller and its trustees, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and its and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) and the Property from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, liabilities, liens, encumbrances, costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising out of, connected with or incidental to: (a) any injuries to persons (including death) or property (real or personal), or (b) any mechanics’, workers’ or other liens on the Property, by reason of or relating to the work or activities conducted on the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s

 

5



 

Agents. The provisions of this Section 3.5.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited in any way by any other terms of this Agreement.

 

3.5.5                        In no event shall Buyer or Buyer’s Agents have the right to place any materials or equipment on the Property (including, without limitation, signs or other advertising material) until after the Closing has occurred.

 

3.5.6                        Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, clean up and repair the Property, in whatever manner necessary, after Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry thereon so that the Property shall be returned to the same condition that existed prior to Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry thereon.

 

4.               ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1                   Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and agrees with Buyer as follows:

 

4.1.1                        Seller has the legal right, power and authority to own the Property and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and this Agreement and all instruments, documents and agreements to be executed by Seller in connection herewith are, or when delivered shall be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and are, or when delivered shall be, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Seller.

4.1.3                        To Seller’s knowledge and except as may be disclosed in the Due Diligence Documents, Seller has received no written notice from any government authority of any violation of any statute, ordinance, code or regulation with respect to the Project, which violation has not been corrected.

 

4.1.4                        To Seller’s knowledge and except as may be disclosed in the Due Diligence Documents, Seller has received no written notice that the Project is in violation of any federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the Project with respect to “Hazardous Materials” (as defined below), nor to Seller’s knowledge have any Hazardous Materials been or are currently being produced, disposed of, used or stored on or under the Property in violation of applicable law.

 

4.1.5                        Seller is not required to obtain any consents or approvals to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

that is a part of the Due Diligence items, Seller has received no notice of a current default by the landlord or tenant under any Leases in effect on the Effective Date or of any tenant’s intention to vacate its premises or discontinue its operations at the Property. Upon the Closing Date, there will be no unpaid leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs with respect to any of the Leases (except to the extent such tenant improvement costs may arise in the future pursuant to a Lease if, for example, a tenant were to renew its Lease and thereby be entitled to tenant improvements).

 

4.1.7                        As used herein, “to Seller’s knowledge” and phrases of similar import means the actual (not constructive and without attribution) conscious knowledge, without undertaking, and without any duty to undertake, any investigation or inquiry, of Deborah Hawthorne and Dirk Van Wyk, which individuals are the employees of Seller (or its affiliates) with the operational/asset disposition responsibility for the Project. It is expressly agreed and understood that in no event shall Buyer be entitled to bring any action(s) for damages or otherwise against such individuals. In the event Seller or Buyer should become aware of any facts or circumstances prior to the Closing Date that should render any of Seller’s representations and warranties that are limited to Seller’s knowledge no longer accurate, the party first becoming so aware shall promptly notify the other party in writing, and Buyer shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder delivered within seven (7) days after receipt of Seller’s notice or first becoming aware of such facts, in which case this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Section 3.3. This Section 4.1.7 shall supersede any inconsistent provision of this Agreement.

 

4.2                   Buyer’s Representations and Warranties.    Buyer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and agrees with Seller as follows:

 

4.2.1                        Buyer’s Investigation and. Release. (a) Buyer acknowledges that, except as explicitly set forth herein, there are no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, made by Seller in connection with this Agreement, the purchase of the Property by Buyer, the Contracts, the Leases, the physical condition of the Property or whether the Property complies with applicable laws or is appropriate for Buyer’s intended use; (b) prior to the Decision Date Buyer shall have (or shall have chosen not to have) fully investigated the Property (including the Leases and Contracts) and all matters pertaining thereto; (c) Buyer is not relying on any statement or representation of Seller, its agents or its representatives nor on any information supplied by Seller, its agents or its representatives; (d) Buyer, in entering into this Agreement and in completing its purchase of the Property, is relying, and shall rely, entirely on its own investigation of the Property based on its extensive experience in and knowledge of real property in the areas where the Property is located; (e) Buyer is aware (or has chosen not to be aware) of all zoning regulations, other governmental requirements, legal, site and physical conditions, and other matters affecting the use and condition of the Property; (f) Buyer’s decision to purchase the Property on the terms and conditions hereof has been, and at all times shall be, made solely and exclusively in reliance on Buyer’s own review, inspection and investigation of the Property (including the Leases and Contracts) and of materials, documents, information and studies relating to the Property; (g) BUYER SHALL PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ITS “AS IS” CONDITION AS OF THE DATE OF CLOSING. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has accepted full responsibility for assuring the Property complies at Closing with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and ordinances, and in the event any such laws, rules, regulations, orders or

 

7



 

ordinances impose any pre-Closing obligations upon Seller, Seller shall have the right to (i) perform the same at Buyer’s expense and the cost thereof shall be added to the Purchase Price at Closing, if Seller is obligated by law to perform the same prior to Closing, and/or (ii) require Buyer to execute and deliver at Closing any documentation requested by Seller or required by governmental authorities confirming Buyer has accepted such responsibility and indemnifying Seller against the same.

 

4.2.2                        Authority.  Buyer has the power and authority to own the Property and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement and all instruments, documents and agreements to be executed by Buyer in connection herewith are or when delivered shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer and are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Buyer. Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that he or she is duly authorized to do so.

 

4.2.3                        Consents.   Buyer is not required to obtain any consents or approvals to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

 

4.3                   Reaffirmation.   The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Closing and shall be a condition of Buyer’s obligation to Close this transaction (except if Buyer shall have received written notice from Seller pursuant to Section 4.1.7 of any facts or circumstances prior to the Closing Date that should render any of Seller’s representations and warranties that are limited to Seller’s knowledge no longer accurate, or if Buyer itself shall have become aware of any facts or circumstances prior to the Closing Date that should render any of Seller’s representations and warranties that are limited to Seller’s knowledge no longer accurate, the foregoing condition to Closing shall be deemed waived after the expiration of the seven-day period referenced in Section 4.1.7).   Subject to Section 4.1.7, the Closing shall constitute each party’s reaffirmation of those representations and warranties as of the Closing, and each party shall execute and deliver at Closing a document (a “Reaffirmation Certificate”) reaffirming such representations and warranties, which shall survive the Closing.

 

4.4                   Condemnation. If, prior to Closing, any portion of the Property shall be condemned or become the subject of any pending or threatened condemnation action, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of such condemnation or threatened or pending action, and if any condemnation award is received by Seller prior to Closing, the amount of such award shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price. Any condemnation awards received by Seller on or after Closing shall be promptly delivered by Seller to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such condemnation involves 5% or more of the Land or the Improvements or affects any of the existing access points to the Property or permits a tenant to terminate its Lease or abate or reduce its rent, Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller given within five (5) business days after Buyer shall have been notified of such condemnation, whereupon the Deposit (to the extent previously delivered to Escrow Holder) shall be returned to Buyer. Buyer’s failure to timely deliver such notice to Seller within such five (5) business day period shall constitute Buyer’s election to proceed to Closing.

 

8



 

4.5                   Damage or Destruction. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property prior to the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof and the Closing shall nevertheless occur as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, except Seller shall assign to Buyer upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrences. Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such damage or destruction to the Property shall cost more than $100,000 to repair, or permits a tenant to terminate its Lease or abate or reduce its rent, then Seller shall promptly so notify Buyer and within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, electing either: (a) to proceed with this transaction and Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding such damage or destruction; or (b) to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3. Buyer’s failure to deliver either of such notices to Seller and Escrow Holder within such five (5) business day period shall constitute Buyer’s election to proceed to Closing under clause (a), in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrences and credit Buyer with all deductibles or self-insured amounts applicable to such occurrences.

 

4.6                   Tenant Lease Amendments; Management of Property. Seller agrees to promptly provide Buyer with a copy of all proposed amendments to existing Leases, and all proposed new Leases, of any portion of the Property proposed to be executed after the Effective Date and before the date (the “Stop Date”) that is seven (7) days prior to the Decision Date for Buyer’s review, but in no event shall Buyer have any right to approve the same, and Buyer’s failure to terminate this Agreement on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s deemed approval of all such Lease amendments and new Leases. From and after the Stop Date, Seller shall not execute any amendments to any existing Leases, or any new Leases, without Buyer’s prior written consent. Upon the Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for, or assume Seller’s obligations with respect to, all leasing commissions paid or payable by Seller and/or tenant improvement obligations of Seller with respect to all Lease amendments and new Leases approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.6 (except Seller shall be responsible for any leasing commissions payable with respect to any Leases that are renewed or extended before the Closing Date). Subject to damage or destruction, or other matters outside of Seller’s control, Seller agrees to continue to manage the Property until Closing in the same manner it is currently managing the Property (in no event shall Seller have any obligation to make capital repairs, replacements or improvements, nor to cause the Property to comply with applicable laws). Prior to Closing, and for a reasonable period of time thereafter, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and Buyer’s accountants to facilitate Buyer’s evaluations and required reports, including at least a one-year audit of the books and records of the Property, which audit shall conclude with the execution by Seller of a letter in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4.6 (Seller confirms that the representations in such letter are, to Seller’s knowledge, correct as of the date of execution of this Agreement, but Seller reserves the right to revise such letter to reflect the state of Seller’s knowledge at the time Seller is requested to execute such letter).

 

4.7                   Estoppel Certificates. Seller agrees to promptly exert good faith efforts to obtain estoppel certificates (“Estoppels”) and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”), on Seller’s form or on such other reasonable forms as Buyer shall deliver to Seller within five (5) days after the Effective Date, from the Tenants. Seller shall not be in default hereunder by reason of the unavailability, or contents, of any Estoppel or SNDA (but Seller shall act

in good faith with respect to any defaults of Seller alleged by any Tenant in any Estoppel or SNDA). Subject to the further terms of this Section 4.7, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.3 if three (3) business days prior to Closing Seller shall be unable to obtain Estoppels approved by Buyer executed by (i) Office Max, Bank of America, Marie Callender’s, Ross Dress for Less and Silk Pavillion (collectively, the “Majors”), plus (ii) other tenants (the “Minors”) which, in the aggregate, occupy at least seventy five percent (75%) of the remaining leased space at the Property not counting the space leased by the Majors, plus, if applicable, any owner’s association or similar authority under any active, recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property (a “CC&R Estoppel”). Buyer shall be deemed to have approved each Estoppel delivered to it by Seller unless Buyer shall have delivered written notice to Seller objecting to such Estoppel within four (4) days after Seller’s delivery of such Estoppel to Buyer. Buyer shall have no right to object to, and shall be deemed to have approved, any Estoppel executed on a form set forth in, or stipulated by, the applicable lease that does not reflect a default by landlord or tenant and that does not contain any information materially inconsistent with the information set forth in the applicable lease to which it pertains. Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of the unavailability, or contents, of any SNDAs. Seller agrees to execute and deliver to Buyer at Closing a “Seller Estoppel” with respect to those Majors and Minors and any CC&R Estoppel as to which Seller has been unable to obtain an executed Estoppel (or CC&R Estoppel), but each Seller Estoppel shall be limited “to Seller’s knowledge” (as defined in Section 4.1.7). Buyer shall further have the right to terminate this Agreement and to obtain a return of its Deposit if any Tenant shall, on the Closing Date, be delinquent, beyond any applicable grace period set forth in its Lease, in paying its monthly rent due under its Lease.

 

4.8                   Hazardous Material Waiver. Buyer, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, hereby releases Indemnitees from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, suits, judgments, causes of action (including, but not limited to, causes of action arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et. seq.), losses, costs, damages, injuries, penalties, enforcement actions, fines, taxes, remedial actions, removal and disposal costs, investigation and remediation costs and expenses (including, without limit, attorneys’ fees, litigation, arbitration and administrative proceeding costs, expert and consultant fees and laboratory costs), sums paid in settlement of claims, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, arising out of, related in any way to, or resulting from or in connection with, in whole or in part, the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Materials (defined below) in, on, under, or about the Property.

 

Hazardous Material(s)” means any chemical, substance, material, controlled substance, object, condition, waste living organisms or combination thereof which is or may be hazardous to human health or safety or to the environment due to his radioactivity, ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, explosivity, toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, phytotoxicity, infectiousness or other harmful or potentially harmful properties or effects, including, without limitation, petroleum hydrocarbons and petroleum products, lead, asbestos, radon, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and all of those chemicals, substances, materials, controlled substances, objects, conditions, wastes, living organisms or combinations thereof which are now or become in the future listed, defined or regulated in any manner by any federal, state or local law based upon, directly or indirectly, such properties or effects.

5.2.1                        Rentals from Leases (including fixed monthly rentals and other periodic rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, operating cost pass-throughs and other sums and charges payable by the tenants), prepaid rentals and prepaid payments (collectively, “Rent”) shall, subject to the further provisions hereof, be prorated on the basis that Buyer shall receive a credit for all security deposits actually held by Seller and for all Rent which Seller has actually received before the Closing which is allocable to the period after the Closing. Seller shall not receive a credit for any Rent Seller has not received as of (the Closing that is allocable to the period prior to the Closing. If Buyer shall collect any such Rent (including without limitation percentage rent) after the Closing allocable to the period prior to the Closing, Buyer shall promptly pay the same to Seller, after application of the same to any rent due from the applicable Tenant after the Closing.

5.2.3                        Seller shall endeavor to have all of its utility accounts with respect to the Property closed out effective as of the Closing Date; if such close-out is not possible, utilities shall be prorated as of the Closing (with the assumption that utility charges were uniformly incurred during the billing period in which the Closing occurs).

Buyer and Seller shall prorate at Closing, actual Operating Expenses collected by Seller from Tenants prior to Closing with actual Operating Expenses paid by Seller with respect to such period, so that if there are any rebates owing to Tenants for the period of Seller’s ownership, Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of such rebates at Closing, and if the Tenants owe the landlord any additional amounts for Operating Expenses with respect to the period of Seller’s ownership,

 

12

5.4                   Closing of Escrow.

 

5.4.1                        Pursuant to Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue and Taxation Code, Escrow Holder shall be designated the “closing agent” hereunder and shall be solely responsible for complying with the tax reform act of 1986 with regard to reporting all settlement information to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

5.4.2                        Escrow Holder shall hold the Closing on the Closing Date if: (i) it has received in a timely manner all the funds and materials required to be delivered into Escrow by Buyer and Seller; and (ii) it has received assurances satisfactory to it that, effective as of the Closing, the Title Company will issue to Buyer, its standard coverage CLTA title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Buyer as the owner of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Owner’s Policy”).

5.6                   LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF A MATERIAL DEFAULT OR BREACH HEREUNDER BY BUYER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAULT OR BREACH BY BUYER WHICH RESULTS IN THE FAILURE OF ESCROW TO CLOSE), THE DAMAGES TO SELLER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT THEREFORE THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES TO SELLER, SUCH DAMAGES INCLUDING COSTS OF NEGOTIATING AND DRAFTING OF THIS AGREEMENT, COSTS OF COOPERATING IN SATISFYING CONDITIONS TO CLOSING, COSTS OF SEEKING ANOTHER BUYER UPON BUYER’S DEFAULT, OPPORTUNITY COSTS IN, AND CARRYING COST ASSOCIATED WITH, KEEPING THE PROPERTY OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE, AND OTHER COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

2.2.2                        Interest Calculation.  Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable for a period of less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year.

 

2.2.3                        Payments Generally.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to but not including the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, and (b) on February 1, 2005 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which shall be applied to interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the prior calendar month at the Interest Rate.

 

2.2.4                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

2.2.5                        Payment on Maturity Date.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and other the Loan Documents.

Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) in the event of a non-monetary default, the cure of such Event of Default by Borrower and acceptance of such cure by Lender, and (ii) in the event of a monetary default, the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to

 

19



 

extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its lights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default.

 

2.2.7                        Late Payment Charge.  If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date which is five (5) days after the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

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

Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.

 

(b)                                 On the Payment Date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt without payment of any Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium; provided, however, if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

21



 

such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.

Section 2.5                                      Release of Property.  Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.

4.1.5                        Agreements.  Except such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Exceptions in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound.  Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations

incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.6                        Title.  Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

5.1.1                        Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.  Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property.  Borrower shall not commit, nor shall Borrower permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall operate, or cause the tenant to operate, any Property that is the subject of an O&M Agreement (if any) in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof in all material respects. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) the Property or any part thereof or interest therein will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of

5.1.2                        Taxes and Other Charges.  Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay to the appropriate taxing authority Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). If Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower, provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and provided that the Taxes are being paid pursuant to Section 7.2. Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that such Taxes have been paid.  Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed $350,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”),

 

41



 

Borrower, upon Lender’s request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

45



 

otherwise maintains operational and managerial control of such Transferee, provided that Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable and customary third-party expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer and a processing fee of $5,000.

 

Lender shall approve or disapprove any proposed Transfer governed by this Section 5.2.13(a) within thirty (30) days of Lender’s receipt of a written notice from Borrower requesting Lender’s approval, provided such notice includes all information necessary to make such decision, and further provided that such written notice from Borrower shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, A RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE”.

47



 

insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i).

 

(ii)                                    commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit, including umbrella coverage, of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

 

(iv)                                at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(viii)                           if any of the policies of insurance covering the risks required to be covered under subsections (i) through (vii) above contains an exclusion from coverage for acts of terrorism, Borrower shall obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in the event of any act of terrorism, provided such coverage is commercially available for properties similar to the Property and located in or around the region in which the Property is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to obtain such a policy, provided (I) Borrower confirms to Lender, in writing, that it shall protect and hold Lender harmless from any losses associated with such risks by, among other things, either (A) depositing with Lender sums sufficient to pay for all uninsured costs related to a Restoration of the Property following any act of terrorism (which sum shall be treated as a Net Proceeds Deficiency), or (B) provided such act of terrorism occurs on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, prepaying the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof; (II) Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.

(ix)                                upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

(b)                                 All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “AA” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, and (ii) Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. if Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. is rating the Securities. The Policies

 

49



 

described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

 

(c)                                  Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).

 

(d)                                 All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)                                  All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)                                     no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)                                  the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)                              the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)                             Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)                                    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the

 

50



 

Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owning to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgage. The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property.

 

Section 6.2                                     Casualty.  If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower (a) shall give to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

 

Section 6.3                                      Condemnation.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt, Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note, If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (y)  in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);

 

52



 

(D)                               Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

 

(F)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)                                the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided, however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements)  will not require restoration of the Improvements or the Property to a size, condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed immediately prior to such Casualty or taking;

 

(H)                               the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws);

 

(I)                                    such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

 

(J)                                   the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 2.50:1.0;

 

(K)                               Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets of similar retail

 

53



 

properties then owned and operated by nationally recognized owners and operators of retail properties located in the areas in which the Property is located; and

 

(L)                                 the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii)                                  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in connection with the Restoration have been performed, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

 

(iii)                               All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)                              In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the

 

54



 

provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)                                 Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)                              If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)                           The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper

 

55



 

(provided no Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Consideration in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.

 

(d)                                 In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)                                  Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4.  All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a) hereof (a “Net Proceeds Prepayment”).  If such Net Proceeds Prepayment shall be equal to or greater than Eight Million and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00), Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Note (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to pay the Note in full, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Note in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof on or before the second Payment Date occurring following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to commence Restoration of the Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).

 

ARTICLE VII
RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 7.1                                      Required Repair Funds.

 

7.1.1                        Deposits.  Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, if any, as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) within six (6) months from the Closing Date, or such earlier time as specified on Schedule III. If Borrower has not delivered to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that it has completed all Required Repairs on or before the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date, or such earlier time as specified on Schedule III, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such Schedule III hereto, if any (less the amount allocated to the performance of Required Repairs for which evidence of completion has been delivered to Lender), to perform the Required Repairs for the Property.  Amounts so deposited with Lender, if any, shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account. Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as

 

56



 

Borrower’s Required Repair Account”. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower does not either (i) does not deposit with Lender the Required Repair Fund as set forth above, or (ii) complete the Required Repairs at the Property within nine (9) months from the Closing Date. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

7.1.2                        Release of Required Repair Funds.  Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.

 

Section 7.2                                      Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be

 

57



 

added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. Any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Property have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Property is not insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement or Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.3                                      Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

Section 7.3.1                             Replacement Reserve Fund.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.15 per year per square foot of gross leasable area. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s

 

58



 

Replacement Reserve Account. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.  Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Property to Lender’s satisfaction. Upon notice from Lender following: (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements or otherwise maintain the Property to Lender’s satisfaction, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice.

 

Section 7.3.2                             Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.

 

(a)                                  Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements.  Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).

 

(b)                                 Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.

 

(c)                                  Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such

 

59



 

amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

(d)                                 Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

 

(e)                                  If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

 

(f)                                    Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000,00.

 

Section 7.3.3                             Performance of Replacements.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all

 

60



 

Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

 

(b)                                 Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by Borrower.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

 

(c)                                  In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d)                                 In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants.  All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage.  For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows:   (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall:  (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

61



 

(f)                                    Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.  Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

 

(g)                                 Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

 

(h)                                 The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

 

(i)                                     Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

 

(j)                                     All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

(k)                                  In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

Section 7.3.4                             Failure to Make Replacements.  (a)  It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

 

Section 7.3.5                             Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.3.6                             Indemnification.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements unless the same are solely due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

7.7.6                        Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

(iii)                               if the Policies are not kept in full force and effect, or if certified copies of the Policies are not delivered to Lender within ten (10) days of request;

(v)                                 if any material representation or warranty made by Borrower herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or

 

64



 

misleading in any material respect as of the date the representation or warranty was made;

 

(vi)                              if Borrower or indemnitor or any guarantor under any guaranty or indemnity issued in connection with the Loan shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

 

(vii)                           if a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor under any guarantee or indemnity issued in connection with the Loan or if Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor shall be instituted; provided, however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within one hundred eighty (180) days;

 

(viii)                        if Borrower attempts to assign its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any interest herein or therein in contravention of the Loan Documents;

 

(ix)                                if Borrower breaches any of its respective negative covenants contained in Section 5.2 or any covenant contained in Section 4.1.30 hereof;

65



 

(xiii)                          if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

Section 8.2                                      Remedies.  (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

 

(b)                                 Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and

 

66



 

such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

 

(c)                                  Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)                                 As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.

 

Section 8.3                                      Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

ARTICLE IX
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1                                      Sale of Notes and Securitization.  At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably

 

67



 

required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage. In this regard Borrower shall:

 

(a)                                  (i)  provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

(b)                                 cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;

 

(c)                                  make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and

 

(d)                              execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.

 

All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.

 

Section 9.2                                      Securitization.  Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.

 

68



 

Section 9.3                                      Rating Surveillance.  Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the “Rating Surveillance Charge”).

 

Section 9.4                                      Exculpation.  Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

 

(i)            fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;

 

(ii)           the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

 

(iii)          material physical waste of the Property;

 

(iv)          the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

 

(v)           the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;

 

69



 

(vi)                              the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default;

 

(vii)                           failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on any portion of the Property; or

 

(viii)                        any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 111l(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that the (I) first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), or (II) failure of Borrower to permit on-site inspections of the Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or (III) failure of Borrower to comply with Section 4.1.30 hereof, or (IV) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property, or (V) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (IV) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (I), (II) or (IV) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (III) or (V) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to

 

70



 

the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger.

 

Section 9.5                                      Termination of Manager.  If (a) the amounts evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (b) the Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, or (d) Manager is not managing the Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the Property, then, in the case of (a), (b), (c) or (d), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.

 

Section 9.6                                      Servicer.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer.  Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 9.7                                      Splitting the Loan.  At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion. Lender hereby agrees to be responsible for all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the

 

71



 

Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional Loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party.  All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 10.5                                Delay Not a Waiver.  Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement,

 

72



 

the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer entered into that certain Agreement of Sale dated September 3, 2004, (as amended) (“the Agreement”), for the sale and purchase of the property commonly known as Northwoods Square located in Tampa, Florida, as legally described by the Agreement (the “Property”).

 

WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller have mutually agreed to amend certain provisions of the Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

 

1.     Prior to Closing, Buyer shall have approved of the Amendment to Development Order described in paragraph 4.4 of the Agreement and the post closing obligations to be assumed by an affiliate of Seller in regard to same.

 

2.     Paragraph 11.1 is hereby amended by placing a period immediately after the words “Closing Date” in line 10 thereof and truncating the remainder of that sentence.

 

3.     Paragraph 11.2(B)(d) (Cash Flow Holdback Escrow) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 

4.     A new paragraph 3 D, is hereby added: “Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 3 which describe payment of the Purchase Price by Purchaser to Seller at Closing, a portion of the $20,200,000 Purchase Price shall be subject to the “Earnout” provisions hereinafter described.

 

(i)            At Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller that part of the Purchase Price equal to the value of the Property then existing (based upon tenants under leases satisfying the Tenant Conditions (as hereinafter defined in paragraph 11.1, hereof)): Thirteen Million Nine Hundred Sixty-three Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-seven and no/100

 



 

Dollars ($13,963,847.00) (the “Initial Closing Payment”).

 

(ii)           For a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), Seller shall have the right to earn payment from Buyer of an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price (less the Tire Kingdom Payment (as hereinafter defined)) and the Initial Closing Payment: Four Million Six Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Four Hundred Sixteen and no/100 Dollars ($4,625,416.00) (the “Building C Payment”) (the “Building C Earnout”). The Building C Earnout applies to the Property spaces described upon Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Earnout Spaces”). The Building C Payment shall be made by Buyer to Seller at one or more Earnout closings (to occur no more frequently than every 30-days) during the Earnout Period upon notice to Buyer by Seller (accompanied by a current title later-date search showing no liens or other encumbrances having been placed of record by reason of Seller or tenants under Earnout Spaces activities upon the Property) stating that one or more of the tenants for the Earnout Spaces have satisfied the Tenant Conditions (including copies of documentation evincing same).

 

(a)           One qualification to the requirement that each tenant for the Earnout Spaces must satisfy each of the Tenant Conditions prior to an Earnout closing is that in the event any 2-tenants (only) under lease for an Earnout Space have satisfied each of the Tenant Conditions, except that such tenant(s) have not opened for business to the public, Seller may call for an Earnout closing as to those 2-tenants (only).

 

(b)           A second qualification to the requirement that each tenant for the Earnout Spaces must satisfy each of the Tenant  Conditions prior to  an Earnout closing is that Seller may tender a Seller estoppel in the form, and in lieu, of a  tenant estoppel from the applicable tenant. The Seller estoppel  shall  survive the applicable Earnout closing for a period of time from the earnout closing until the first to occur of: (A)

 

2



 

one (1) year following the Earnout closing and (B) the date an acceptable (to Buyer) tenant estoppel is received from the applicable tenant.

 

(c)           In addition, with regard to the Friedman Jeweler space (described upon Exhibit A), the Building C Payment is subject to adjustment (increase or decrease) by dividing the base rent divider of .079296 into the initial year base rent achieved by the lease then signed for the Friedman Jeweler space (the “Friedman Jeweler Space Achieved Value”). The Building C Payment adjustment in regard to the Friedman Jeweler space shall be calculated by subtracting the proforma value of the Friedman Jeweler space: Five Hundred One Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen and 87/100 Dollars ($501,916.87) from the Friedman Jeweler Space Achieved Value. If the sum is a positive number, the Building C Payment shall be increased by that amount. If the sum is a negative number, the Building C Payment shall be decreased by that amount.

 

(iii)          During the Earnout Period, Seller shall have the right to earn payment from Buyer of an amount equal to One Million Six Hundred Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty-seven and no/100 Dollars ($1,610,737.00) (the “Tire Kingdom Payment”). The Tire Kingdom Payment shall be made by Buyer to Seller upon notice from Seller to Buyer during the Earnout Period (accompanied by a current title later-date search showing no liens or other encumbrances having been placed of record by reason of Seller or tenants under Earnout Spaces activities upon the Property) stating that the Tire Kingdom tenant has satisfied the Tenant Conditions (including copies of documentation evincing same).”

 

5.     In regard to the construction activities of Seller upon the Property after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to comply with the Development Covenants described upon Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

3



 

6.     This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one Amendment. Each person executing this Amendment represents that such person has fall authority and legal power to do so and bind the party on whose behalf he or she has executed this Amendment.  Any counterpart to this Amendment may be executed by facsimile copy and shall be binding on the parties.

 

7.     In recognition of the structure of the purchase and sale transaction described by the Agreement, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall assign its interests in and to the Agreement to an affiliate of Seller (as constituted as of the date hereof).  References to Seller described by this Agreement shall be to Seller’s assignee from and after the Closing Date.

 

Except as modified herein by this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

5.             ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

 

5.1           Seller shall be entitled to all income produced from the operation of the Property which is allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date and shall be responsible for all expenses allocable to that period; and Buyer shall be entitled to all income and responsible for all expenses allocable to the period beginning at 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date. At Closing, all items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be prorated in accordance with the foregoing provisions and the rules for the specific items set forth hereafter:

 

5.1.1        Seller shall arrange for a billing under all those Service Contracts, for which fees are based on usage and with utility companies for a billing for utilities, to include all utilities or service used up to the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay the resultant bills.  In the event any of the Service Contracts set forth in Exhibit 3 cover periods beyond the Closing Date the same shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

5.1.2        Real estate taxes, general, special and/or betterment assessments and personal property taxes shall be prorated for those taxes which are due and payable as of the Closing Date. In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used; and after the Closing occurs and when the actual amount of taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such taxes will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes.

 

5.1.3        Rentals and other payments (other than “percentage rent” and common area maintenance charges which are dealt with in Section 5.1.4 and Section 5.1.6) which are payable pursuant to Space Leases shall be prorated on a per diem basis as and when collected (subject to the provisions of Section 5.3). However as to the following tenants (“the Credit Tenants”) Superfresh and Blockbuster, Seller shall at closing, receive a credit in an amount equal to real estate taxes that have accrued as of the Closing Date but are either unpaid or not yet due and payable from the Credit Tenants as of the Closing Date. Except as provided in the preceding sentence in respect of the Credit Tenants.

written demand on the one from who it is entitled to such adjustment within two (2) years after the erroneous payment or computation was made; this provision shall survive Closing.

 

5.3           All accounts receivable flowing from the Property shall be treated as follows:

 

5.3.1        Buyer and Seller agree to treat all base or minimum rental payments received from a tenant as applicable to base or minimum rent which was owed by that tenant, if any, first for the month prior to the month in which Closing occurs and next for the month in which Closing occurs until the base or minimum rental amount due to Seller for such periods have been collected.  In the event that there remains any unpaid base or minimum rent for a period prior to such periods, all payments of base or minimum rent received from such tenant shall be applied to sums owed Buyer before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller.    In the event that there remains any unpaid tenant receivable other than base or minimum rent (including without limitation any tax, CAM, insurance or percentage rent payments) for any period prior to Closing, all payments received from any tenant in arrears (whether base or minimum rent or any other amount) shall be applied first to any such sums owed Buyer from such tenant before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller.

 

5.3.2        In the event that any tenant of Seller or Buyer shall hereafter apply or shall have heretofore applied for relief under the provisions of any bankruptcy or similar laws for the protection of debtors, the provisions of Section 5.3.1 shall not apply, and the parties shall have the right to seek collection of their respective accounts, their entitlements being determined by the Closing and the other provisions of this Agreement.

5.3.3        “If at the Closing Date any tenants owe  Seller any money (i.e. reimbursements to Seller for payment of liens or violations on the Property that were created by tenant(s) but that Seller is required hereunder to satisfy in order to effectuate the sale of the Property or rent arrears (which shall include CAM and tax reimbursements)), Seller shall have the right, subsequent to the Closing, to collect such sums directly from the tenants, including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Seller’s sole expense) for such collection (except that Seller is prohibited from bringing a lawsuit against any tenant(s) to collect rent in arrears for a period of thirty (30) days after such dispute or arrears has arisen (the“ Buyer Collection Period”); instead Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such arrears on Seller’s behalf, if Buyer is unsuccessful in collecting the tenant arrears by the expiration of the Buyer Collection Period, then Seller shall have the right to collect such sums directly form the tenants including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Sellers sole expense) for such collection, however, Seller agrees that any such legal action or collection shall not include any disturbance of the possession, use or occupancy of the tenants or any right to evict the tenants, whether pursuant to the lease provisions or otherwise, and Buyer shall at Seller’s expense join in any lawsuit and/or also participate or cooperate with Seller in its collection attempts. Buyer will (at Seller’s expense) join in such a lawsuit or action only if the same does not include or require disturbance of the possession of any tenants.”

 

5.3.4        In the event Seller has granted rent concessions to tenants under space lease(s) that would extend beyond the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive credit for same.

 

5.4           Intentionally Deleted.

6.             TITLE AND SURVEY.

 

6.1           Seller shall convey and Buyer shall accept, subject to the right of Buyer to review and approve all title matters, documents and plats of record in regard to the condition of title to the Property, title such as the Title Company will be willing to approve and insure subject only to Permitted Exceptions as provided for in this Agreement.  Buyer acknowledges that it has heretofore received copies of Seller’s existing title insurance policy for the Real Estate (the “Existing Title Policy”) and of Seller’s existing survey of the Real Estate (the “Existing Survey”).  Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer may (if it so elects) obtain (the costs of which shall be borne solely by Buyer) updates of the Existing Survey to the certification standards described upon the Surveyor’s certification attached hereto Exhibit 13 and made a part hereof (such updated survey hereinafter referred to as the “Updated Survey”); if Buyer does obtain such an Updated Survey, Buyer shall cause it to be certified to Seller and Buyer shall promptly furnish Buyer, Seller and the Title Company with a copy thereof.  Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall also (the costs of which shall be borne by Buyer) obtain a commitment for ALTA Form B Leasehold Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”); and Buyer shall promptly cause the Title Company to furnish Seller and Buyer with true accurate and complete copies thereof (including true, accurate and complete copies of all underlying title

 

6



 

exception documents referenced therein). Not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall give Seller written notice (“Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice”) of any title exceptions which are contained in the Title Commitment and/or the Survey which are not Permitted Exceptions. Failure by Buyer to give Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice (or to object to any matter referenced in the Title Commitment) to Seller on or before said date shall constitute Buyer’s final and irrevocable approval of the condition of title (and to any such unobjected to matter) in and to the Real Estate. If Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice shall be timely given Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice, to commence to remove, correct, cure or satisfy (provided Seller does in fact elect to so remove, correct, cure or satisfy) any title exceptions that were identified in Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice as not being Permitted Exceptions, it being nevertheless agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to undertake any action or to incur any expense in order to effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction (except that notwithstanding the foregoing Seller shall be required to remove or discharge any fee mortgages or deeds of trust, as well as any other liens in an ascertainable dollar amount ). In the event that Seller elects not to attempt to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matters raised in Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice, or if having elected to do so, does not within thirty (30) days thereafter, (or such additional time as is reasonably necessary (not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days without Buyer’s written consent) to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matter(s) so raised using commercially reasonable good faith efforts) effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction as aforesaid (hereinafter called “title correction”), Buyer shall have the right at its sole option either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability hereunder, or (b) to accept such title as is disclosed by the Title Commitment and/or Survey without title correction and without Survey correction and without any reduction to the Purchase Price, thereby waiving any lights against Seller with respect thereto. Said election shall be made by Buyer within three (3) days following Buyer’s receipt of written notification by Seller that Seller has not effectuated (or has elected not to effectuate) title correction. In the event that Seller (even though under no duty to do so) shall undertake title correction and/or Survey correction as aforesaid, and shall be successful, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Buyer shall close the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that Seller shall only be partially successful in obtaining title and/or Survey correction, Buyer shall have the same alternative rights as Buyer would have in the event Seller had declined to seek title and/or Survey correction (as set forth above). Buyer shall make its election within three (3) days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller to Buyer of the extent to which title and/or the Survey has been corrected.

 

6.2           If at the Closing Date there may be any liens or encumbrance which render title unmarketable or otherwise are not permitted title exceptions hereunder, and which Seller is obligated or desires to pay and discharge, Seller may use any portion of the balance of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided Seller shall simultaneously either deliver to Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments; or provided that Seller has made arrangements with the title company in advance of Closing, Seller will deposit with said company sufficient monies, acceptable to and required by it to insure obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions and the issuance of title insurance to Buyer either  free of any such liens and encumbrances, or with insurance against enforcement of same out of the insured premises.  The existence of any such liens and encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title, if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. Unpaid liens for taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments which are the obligation of Seller to satisfy and discharge shall be objections to title, and thus the amount thereof, plus interest and penalties thereon, shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid hereunder and allowed to Buyer, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes, water charges and sewer rents contained herein. Unpaid franchise tax of any  entity in the chain of title to which such tax is applicable, or estate, income or other taxes which may be liens against the Property as of the Closing Date shall not be an objection to title, provided the title company agrees to insure against the collection of said taxes from the Property and in such event if required by the title company, Seller agrees to deposit at Closing with the title company an amount deemed reasonable by it to secure the payment of such unpaid franchise tax, or other tax.

 

6.3           In the event that Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if any representation of Seller herein is untrue in a material respect on the Closing Date and Seller does not correct same (it being understood Seller will be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of Closing for such purpose, not to exceed Fifteen (15) days), the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund, (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer any amount paid on account of the Purchase Price; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled, neither party shall have any further claim against the other by reason of this Agreement, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8.

 

6.4           The costs of obtaining the Title Commitment, the policy of title insurance to issue at Closing (in form subject to Buyer’s sole discretion, and agreed to prior to the expiration of the

 

7



 

Due Diligence Period) including the costs of any excess coverage or endorsements Zoning 3.1; Survey; Access, Usury, Location, Tax ID, Contiguity, EPA, Comprehensive and Doing Business, to the extent available or applicable, shall be borne solely by Buyer (the “Title Policy”) and costs of updated Survey shall be borne solely by Buyer, however expressly excluding therefrom, however, the costs to release any monetary encumbrance affecting the Property and any title curative endorsements which shall be borne by Seller.

Buyer may elect to have its architect provide a good faith estimate of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage. If Seller’s estimate disagrees with Buyer’s architect’s estimate, the parties shall select another architect to make a final determination of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage and both parties shall be bound by the third architect’s determination. The party whose architect differs most from the third architect’s determination shall pay the third architect’s fee.

 

7.2(a)  In the event that any governmental authority having jurisdiction of all or part of the Real Estate has notified Seller before the Closing that some alteration of or addition to the Real Estate is required to be made by law, rule or regulation (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable after its receipt) or otherwise requires a cure of a violation, then (subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b)) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake such alteration or addition or cure; provided, however, that if the cost of such alteration or addition or cure shall exceed the sum of one (1%) percent of the Purchase Price, then in such event Seller may either elect to pay the entire cost and cure the same before the Closing or may decline to undertake the same, in which event Buyer shall have the option, exercisable within three (3) days following notice from Seller of the requirement and Seller’s refusal to comply therewith, (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller notice thereof (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith he returned to Buyer, whereupon the Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8); or (ii) if such notice of termination is not timely given, to proceed with the Closing, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the cost to cure, up to the maximum sum of one percent of the Purchase Price. Buyer may elect to have its engineer provide a good faith estimate of the cost to cure. If Seller’s estimate disagrees with Buyer’s architect’s estimate, the parties shall select a another engineer to make a final determination of the cost to cure and both parties shall be bound by the third engineer’s determination. The party whose engineer differs most from the third engineer’s determination shall pay the third engineer’s fee.

 

(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.2(a), Seller may elect but shall have no obligation to cure or pay for, , any violation which either (i) is first placed (i.e., notice first given to Seller or first placed of record) after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) is the responsibility of a Shopping Center tenant to cure or discharge pursuant to its Space Lease. In the event Seller elects to cure or pay for such violation(s), Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of the violation to commence to cure or pay for same, and shall proceed with diligence to cure same, however, if Seller elects to cure a violation, and Seller reasonably believe that the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) will need to be extended more than thirty (30) days to effectuate the cure, then Seller shall not commence to cure the violation then Buyer may elect to (i) complete the purchase without any adjustment in the Purchase Price or (ii) terminate the Agreement in such event, unless Buyer agrees to the required extension. In the event Seller elects not to cure or pay for such violation, the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer any amount paid on account of the Purchase Price; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be

(d)           (d) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, an estoppel certificate from each party to, or affected by any declaration, association, reciprocal easement, or like agreement affecting the Property (hereinafter “REA estoppel”).  Seller will request that the estoppel be in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit 11 and made a part hereof. In the alternative, within five (5) days of the date this Agreement is fully executed by Seller and Buyer. Seller shall provide Buyer with the necessary information for each REA party such that during the Due Diligence Period.  Buyer may request the REA estoppel from the REA parties directly.  In the event Seller and Buyer are unable to obtain these estoppels despite Seller’s commercially reasonable good faith efforts prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may deliver and Buyer may accept (although nothing contained herein shall require Buyer to accept), its own estoppel in the form attached as Exhibit 11, which shall survive Closing (but if post-Closing Seller delivers any such REA estoppel, Seller shall be relieved from responsibility under any Seller estoppel it delivered regarding all matters confirmed by such “REA” estoppel).

 

(e)           It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated herein that on or before the third (3rd) business day prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have received an assignment of all warranties and guaranties, if available, for materials and workmanship benefiting the Property, including an acknowledgment by the material and/or service provider of the acceptance of the assignment where required by the terms of the warranty and/or guaranty, with all fees and costs of such

 

11



 

assignment (and inspection, if required) (not to exceed One Thousand Dollars (S1,000.00)) being paid at the sole cost and expense of Seller; any such costs or fees in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) being shared equally between the parties hereto.

 

(B)           At Closing, Seller and Buyer shall each execute and deliver to the other the following:

 

(a)           An Assignment and Assumption of membership Interests in Inland Western Northwoods LLC in form set forth as Exhibit 8.

 

(b)           Intentionally Deleted.

 

(c)           Notices to tenants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 14, and made a part hereof, notifying them of the sale and (if applicable) the transfer of their security deposit to Buyer.

 

(d)           Cash Flow Holdback.  To the extent at Closing the Rent Commencement Date (“RCD”) of a Space Lease, as the RCD is defined in the respective Space Lease, has not occurred, (such a Space Lease being hereinafter referred to as a “Pending Lease”) then Seller shall put in escrow account to be held by the title company the “Cash Flow Deficiency” as hereinafter defined for any such Pending Leases.  The Cash Flow Deficiency shall mean the Fixed Rent, CAM, taxes and insurances payable under the Pending Lease calculated from the day of the Closing to the RCD under such Pending Lease.  At Closing the parties shall enter into formal Escrow Agreement outlining the terms of the Cash Flow Holdback.

 

11.4         Each party shall pay its own legal fees and travel and lodging expenses in connection with this transaction.  Seller and Buyer shall split the payment in accordance with local custom for all transfer taxes and the parties shall each pay 1/2 of the documentary stamps or recording charges for transfer of title to the Real Estate and the “New York Style” closing escrow fees charged by the Title Company.

 

11.5         Buyer also agrees to cooperate with Seller to permit the conveyance of the Property to be consummated as a part of a transaction intended by Seller to qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and in conjunction therewith to execute such documents as Seller may reasonably request (such cooperation may include, without limitation, accepting a conveyance from a party other than Seller and paying the Purchase Price to a party other than Seller). In no event, however, shall (a) Buyer bear any expense associated with the exchange transaction, (b) Buyer be obligated to take title to Seller’s exchange property, (c) the consummation of such tax-free exchange materially delay the conveyance to Buyer of the Property, (d) Buyer have any liability to Seller or any other party for the qualification of the exchange transaction for tax-free exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or under any other provision and (e) the consummation of such tax free exchange relieve Seller of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

12.           BROKERS.

 

Each party represents and warrants to the other that it dealt with no broker other than Cushman & Wakefield (the “Broker”) in connection with this transaction. Seller shall pay Broker pursuant to a separate agreement and Buyer shall pay Broker one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00). Each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all loss, liability and expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that the indemnitee may incur arising by reason of the above representation by the indemnitor being false. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive Closing.

14.           DEFAULTS.

 

14.1         If Closing does not take place because of Buyer’s default the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages as Seller’s sole remedy for such default, and thereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8). The parties hereto expressly agree that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Buyer would be extremely difficult or impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of such damages.

 

14.2         If Closing does not occur due to Seller’s willful default and refusal to close despite Buyer’s willingness to do so (such willingness includes waiver by Buyer of any uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1 or material breach of representation or warranty by Seller) (such willful default and refusal being hereinafter referred to as a “Seller Default”), then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy as a result of such Seller Default, may elect to either (i) cancel this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall be liable for any title and survey costs, as well as environmental site assessment, appraisal and legal fees theretofore incurred by Buyer (however Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse Buyer more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in the aggregate for such environmental site assessment, appraisal and legal fees), and thereupon no party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2  and 15.8),  or (ii) Buyer may enforce specific performance of this Agreement without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price, together with the right of Buyer to collect its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, subject to the limitation on Landlord’s reimbursement of same described above.

 

14.3         Subject to the provisions of Article 14.1 and 14.2 above, if Closing should not occur for any reason whatsoever other than a default by Buyer or a Seller Default (including without limitation by reason of a material breach of representation or warranty of Seller or an uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1, or a failure to deliver any tenant estoppel required hereunder) which Buyer is not willing to waive, then in such event this Agreement shall be and be deemed cancelled, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and thereupon Buyer shall have no other right, by way of damages or otherwise, against Seller notwithstanding the existence of any failure or breach of representation, warranty, covenant, title, provision of estoppel or other Closing condition (provided that Buyer will remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8).

 

15.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

15.1         The representations, warranties and covenants contained in Article 10 of this Agreement shall survive delivery of the deed for a period of twelve (12) months. Other than the survival of such representations, warranties and covenants, the acceptance of the deed by Buyer shall be conclusive evidence of the performance by Seller of all of the provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Seller.

 

15.2         This Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, if any, with respect thereto.

 

15.3         This Agreement may not be canceled, modified, changed or supplemented, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing.

 

15.4         The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns.

 

15.5         “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE” with respect to all provisions of this Agreement, with the sole exception that each of Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to a single adjournment (not to exceed two (2) business days in any event) of the Closing Date.

 

15.6         This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

 

15.7         Intentionally Deleted.

 

14



 

15.8         Buyer represents and warrants that it will keep all information and/or reports and/or documents obtained from Seller or its agents (including without limitation the rent and other terms of the Space Leases), or related to or connected with the Property (including without limitation the existence of this Agreement and the Purchase Price) strictly confidential and will not disclose any such information to any person or entity (except for Buyer’s attorneys, consultants and advisors and except as required by law; provided that any such parties similarly agree to treat such material confidentially), without the prior written consent of Seller. In amplification and not in limitation of the foregoing, Buyer may not make any public disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement prior to Closing.

 

15.9         This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State wherein the Property is located. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its plain meaning and without reference to any maxim or rule of interpretation providing that a writing should be construed against the party responsible for the drafting thereof.

 

15.10       This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the public records of any jurisdiction by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a breach of this Agreement.

 

15.11       This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original.

 

16.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO BUYER’S OBLIGATION.

 

In addition to the conditions precedent described in Article 11.3(A) (c), (d) &. (e), Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated hereunder is subject to and contingent upon the following:

It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close with respect in the Property that, at the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Certificate that shall confirm, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the truth and accuracy in all material respects, as of Closing, of Seller’s representations contained in this Agreement, and the representations contained in such certificate, as well as any continuing obligations of Seller hereunder, shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months; and

 

(c)   That as of the date of closing: (i) neither Seller, as landlord under the Space Leases, nor any tenant thereunder, shall be in material default under the terms of any Space Lease and (ii) and space currently occupied by Petco and Marshalls and ninety-five percent (95%) of the remainder of Property gross leasable area being leased to tenants, excluding the Marshalls and Petco spaces.

2.1.3                        The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents.  The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.1.4                        Use of Proceeds.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.

 

Section 2.2                                      Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.

 

2.2.1                        Interest Generally.  Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

 

2.2.2                        Interest Calculation.  Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable for a period of less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year.

 

2.2.3                        Payments Generally.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to but not including the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, and (b) on February 11, 2005 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which shall be applied to interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the prior calendar month at the Interest Rate.

 

2.2.4                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

19



 

2.2.5                        Payment on Maturity Date.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and other the Loan Documents.

 

2.2.6                        Payments after Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.  Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) in the event of a non-monetary default, the cure of such Event of Default by Borrower and acceptance of such cure by Lender, and (ii) in the event of a monetary default, the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage.  This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default.

 

2.2.7                        Late Payment Charge.  If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.  The foregoing late payment charge shall not apply to the payment of all outstanding principal, interest and other sums due on the Maturity Date.

 

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

Section 2.3                                      Prepayments.

 

2.3.1                        Voluntary Prepayments.

 

(a)                                  Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date.  After the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, provided it has given Lender prior written notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, prepay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in whole, but not in part, by paying, together with the amount to be prepaid, (i) interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid to and including the date of prepayment, (ii) unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid after the date of prepayment through and including the next Payment Date had the prepayment not been made (which amount shall constitute additional consideration for the prepayment), (iii) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) if prepayment occurs prior to the Payment Date which is three months prior to the Maturity Date, a prepayment consideration (the “Prepayment Consideration”) equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%)  of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid or (B) the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under this Agreement including, but not limited to, principal and interest on the Maturity Date (with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of prepayment at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate), over (2) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan.  Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.

 

(b)                                 On the Payment Date that is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt without payment of any Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium; provided, however, if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.  Borrower’s right to prepay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the amount to be prepaid and the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the amount to be prepaid as set forth in such notice on the projected date set forth in such notice or any day following such projected date occurring in the same calendar month as such projected date.

 

2.3.2                        Mandatory Prepayments.  (a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds.  No Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.  Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

 

(b)                                 On the date on which Borrower tenders a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment pursuant to Section 6.4(e) below, such tender shall include (a) all accrued and

 

21



 

unpaid interest and the principal indebtedness being prepaid, including interest on the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note through the last day of the month within which such tender occurs; and (b) any other sums due hereunder relating to the applicable Note.  Except as set forth in this Section 2.3.2(b), other than following an Event of Default, no Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.

 

2.3.3                        Prepayments after Default.  Following an Event of Default, if Borrower or anyone on Borrower’s behalf makes a tender of payment of all or any portion of the Debt at any time prior to a foreclosure sale (including a sale under the power of sale under the Mortgage), or during any redemption period after foreclosure, (i) the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of Borrower’s obligation to pay any Prepayment Consideration due under this Agreement and such payment shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include a premium equal to the Prepayment Consideration that would have been payable on the date of such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.

 

Section 2.4                                      Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 2.5                                      Release of Property.  Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.  If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire amount of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.1 and the requirements of this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage.

 

2.5.1                        Release on Payment in Full.  Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.3.1 of this Loan Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property not theretofore released.

 

2.5.2                        Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.1                                      Borrower Representations.  Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

 

4.1.1                        Organization.  Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged.  Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with the Property, businesses and operations.  Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property.

 

4.1.2                        Proceedings.  Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

4.1.3                        No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.1.4                        Litigation.  To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or the Property, might materially adversely affect

 

27



 

the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of the Property.

 

4.1.5                        Agreements.  Except such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Exceptions in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound.  Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.6                        Title.  Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignment of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are due and unpaid under the contracts pursuant to which such work or labor was performed or materials provided which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.7                        Solvency: No Bankrupcy Filing.  Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.  The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations

 

28

4.1.8                        Full and Accurate Disclosure.  To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

4.1.18                  Enforceability.  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right

BORROWER COVENANTS

 

Section 5.1                                      Affirmative Covenants.  From the Closing Date and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

 

5.1.1                        Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.  Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property.  Borrower shall not commit, nor shall Borrower permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.  Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time

 

34



 

make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage.  Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement.  Borrower shall operate, or cause the tenant to operate, any Property that is the subject of an O&M Agreement (if any) in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof in all material respects.  After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) the Property or any part thereof or interest therein will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

 

5.1.2                        Taxes and Other Charges.  Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay to the appropriate taxing authority Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.  Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof).  If Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower, provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and provided that the Taxes are being paid pursuant to Section 7.2.  Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that such Taxes have been paid.  Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property.  After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or

(ii)                                  commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit, including umbrella coverage, of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;

(viii)                        if any of the policies of insurance covering the risks required to be covered under subsections (i) through (vii) above contains an exclusion from coverage for acts of terrorism, Borrower shall obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in the event of any act of terrorism, provided such coverage is commercially available for properties similar to the Property and located in or around the region in which the Property is located.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to obtain such a policy, provided (I) Borrower confirms to Lender, in writing, that it shall protect and hold Lender harmless from any losses associated with such risks by, among other things, either (A) depositing with Lender sums sufficient to pay for all uninsured costs related to a Restoration of the Property following any act of terrorism (which sum shall be treated as a Net Proceeds Deficiency), or (B) provided such act of terrorism occurs on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, prepaying the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof;  (II) Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.

(ix)                                upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

49



 

(b)                                 All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the Policiesor in the singular, the Policy), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “AA” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, and (ii) Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. if Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. is rating the Securities.  The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the Insurance Premiums), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

 

(c)                                  Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).

 

(d)                                 All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)                                  All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)                                     no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)                                  the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)                               the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)                              Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)                                    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its

 

50



 

interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owning to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgage.  The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property.

 

Section 6.2                                      Casualty.  If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower (a) shall give to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4.  Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

 

Section 6.3                                      Condemnation.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.  If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

(C)                                Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration,

 

52



 

notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense.  The term Rentable Space Percentageshall mean (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);

(G)                                the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided, however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements)  will not require restoration of the Improvements or the Property to a size, condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed immediately prior to such Casualty or taking;

 

(H)                               the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws);

 

(I)                                    such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

 

53

(L)                                 the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii)                                  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in connection with the Restoration have been performed, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

 

(iii)                               All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the Casualty Consultant), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

(v)                                 Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)                              If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the Net Proceeds Deficiency) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)                           The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have

 

55



 

occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Consideration in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.

 

(d)                                 In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)                                  Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4.  All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a) hereof (a Net Proceeds Prepayment).  If such Net Proceeds Prepayment shall be equal to or greater than One Million Two Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,225,000.00), Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Note (a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment) in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to pay the Note in full, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Note in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof on or before the second Payment Date occurring following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to commence Restoration of the Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).

Section 7.2                                      Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund).  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.  Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgage.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution.  Any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.  Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.  In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Property have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Property is not insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement or Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

Section 7.3                                      Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

Section 7.3.1                             Replacement Reserve Fund.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the Replacements), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.15 per year per square foot of gross leasable area.  Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Replacement Reserve Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Replacement Reserve Account”.  Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.  Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Property to Lender’s satisfaction.  Upon notice from Lender following: (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements or otherwise maintain the Property to Lender’s satisfaction, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice.

 

Section 7.3.2                             Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.

 

(a)                                  Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements.  Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).

 

(b)                                 Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.

 

(c)                                  Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item

 

59



 

purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made.  With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts.  Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided.  Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement.  Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested.  Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

(d)                                 Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account.  In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials.  Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

 

(e)                                  If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

 

(f)                                    Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection

 

60



 

with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.

 

Section 7.3.3                             Performance of Replacements.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Properly or any portion thereof from deteriorating.  Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

 

(b)                                 Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by Borrower.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

 

(c)                                  In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d)                                 In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants.  All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage.  For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower.  Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the

 

61



 

rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall:  (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

(f)                                    Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.  Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

 

(g)                                 Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought.  Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account.  Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

 

(h)                                 The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

 

(i)                                     Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

 

(j)                                     All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

62



 

(k)                                  In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement.  All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.  Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

 

Section 7.3.4                             Failure to Make Replacements.  (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days.  Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

                (b)     Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

 

Section 7.3.5                             Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.3.6                             Indemnification.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements unless the same are solely due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

 

Section 7.4                                      Lease-Up Reserve Letter of Credit.

 

As additional security for the Loan, Borrower has contemporaneously herewith delivered to Lender a clean, unconditional and irrevocable “evergreen” letter of credit in the amount of $3,429,884.00 (the “Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit is equal to 55% of the contract earnout reserve established under the Borrower’s Agreement of Sale dated April 3, 2004, as

 

63



 

amended by Amendment to Agreement of Sale dated November 8, 2004, in respect of certain spaces at the Property currently leased to the Lease-Up Reserve Tenants.  The Letter of Credit has a stated expiration of not earlier than one (1) year after the date hereof and has an “evergreen” feature, whereby the Letter of Credit is automatically renewed for additional one-year periods unless the issuer gives to Lender not less than sixty (60) days prior notice that it shall not renew the Letter of Credit.

 

The parties agree that (i) if an Event of Default shall occur hereunder, or (ii) if, within the 30 day period preceding the expiration date of the Letter of Credit (as the same may have been reduced, modified, amended or renewed as permitted hereunder), an amendment, replacement or renewal of such letter of credit satisfactory in all respects to Lender in its sole discretion has not been delivered to Lender( the preceding items (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein as the “Letter of Credit Drawdown Conditions”), then Lender shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to (A) draw down the Letter of Credit without notice to Borrower, and apply the proceeds thereof to the prepayment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs or (B) continue to hold the Letter of Credit as additional collateral security for the Loan; provided, however, if the Event of Default results from Borrower’s failure to timely remit any installment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount as and when due, then Lender shall not draw down the Letter of Credit until the expiration of three (3) days following Borrower’s receipt of written notice of such Event of Default.  If Lender elects to draw down the Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof toward the prepayment of the Debt, Borrower shall, upon demand, pay to Lender (in addition to the amount of the letter of credit so drawn and applied) a Prepayment Consideration in an amount calculated pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (a) hereof and based on the amount of the letter of credit so drawn down and applied.  Borrower’s failure to pay the foregoing Prepayment Consideration shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

 

Borrower may, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit as follows:

 

(i) During the Contract of Sale Earnout Period, Borrower may submit to Lender, not more frequently than once in any calendar month, a Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions Certificate certifying (A) that the Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions for a particular Lease-Up Reserve Tenant have been satisfied and (B) the purchase price attributable to the applicable Lease-Up Reserve Tenant’s Space, such purchase price to be reasonably determined by Borrower based upon a capitalization rate tied to the rental income derived from the applicable lease.  Lender shall, within ten (10) business days following its receipt of such Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions Certificate and certification regarding the purchase price, either (A) forward to Borrower a written consent authorizing the reduction of the Letter of Credit by an amount equal to fifty five percent (55%) of the purchase price as certified by Borrower as attributable to the applicable Lease-Up Reserve Tenant’s space or (B) forward to Borrower a written explanation substantiating its refusal to permit the aforesaid reduction together, if applicable, with a request for such additional documentation and/or information as Lender shall require to renew its review of the Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions Certificate.  As a condition to Lender’s consent to the aforesaid fifty five percent (55%) reduction in the Letter of Credit, Borrower shall furnish Lender with documentation evidencing that the purchase price for the applicable Lease-Up Reserve Tenant’s space has actually been paid by the Borrower.

 

64



 

(ii) Following the expiration of the Contract of Sale Earnout Period, Borrower may submit to Lender, not more frequently than once in any calendar month, a Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions Certificate certifying (A) that the Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions for a particular Lease-Up Reserve Tenant have been satisfied and (B) the annual base rent for the applicable Lease-Up Reserve Tenant’s space.  Lender shall, within ten (10) business days following its receipt of such Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions Certificate and statement regarding annual base rent, either (A) forward to Borrower a written consent authorizing the reduction of the Letter of Credit by an amount equal to fifty five percent (55%) of the annual base rent for the applicable Lease-Up Reserve Tenant’s space divided by .079296 or (B) forward to Borrower a written explanation substantiating its refusal to permit the aforesaid reduction together, if applicable, with a request for such additional documentation and/or information as Lender shall require to renew its review of the Tenant Reserve Earnout Conditions Certificate.

 

The Letter of Credit, as the same may have been reduced, amended, renewed or modified as permitted hereunder, shall at all times be acceptable in form to Lender and issued by a bank with a rating of not less than “A” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.

7.7.2                        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

 

7.7.3                        The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

(v)                                 if any material representation or warranty made by Borrower herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date the representation or warranty was made;

 

(vi)                              if Borrower or indemnitor or any guarantor under any guaranty or indemnity issued in connection with the Loan shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

 

(vii)                           if a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor under any guarantee or indemnity issued in connection with the Loan or if Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor shall be instituted; provided, however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower or such guarantor or indemnitor, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within one hundred eighty (180) days;

(viii)                        if Borrower attempts to assign its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any interest herein or therein in contravention of the Loan Documents;

 

(ix)                                if Borrower breaches any of its respective negative covenants contained in Section 5.2 or any covenant contained in Section 4.1.30 hereof;

 

(x)                                   with respect to any term, covenant or provision set forth herein which specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period, if Borrower shall be in default under such term, covenant or condition after the giving of such notice or the expiration of such grace period;

(xiii)                          if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

 

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

67



 

Section 8.2                                      Remedies.  (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

 

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

 

(c)                                  Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any

 

68



 

representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)                                 As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.

 

Section 8.3                                      Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1                                      Sale of Notes and Securitization.  At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the “Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage.  In this regard Borrower shall:

 

(a)                                  (i)                                     provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the Provided Information), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

(b)                                 cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion

customary in securitization transactions, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;

 

(c)                                  make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and

 

(d)                                 execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.

 

All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.

Section 9.3                                      Rating Surveillance.  Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization.  Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the “Rating Surveillance Charge”).

70



 

Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

 

(i)                                     fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;

 

(ii)                                  the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

(ix)                                obligations imposed pursuant to that certain Development Agreement dated as of August 10, 2004 among Kimco Tampa, L.P., Pasco County, Florida, Northwood Centers, LLP, MJG Ventures, Ltd. and Spanos Corporation for the Northwood Development of Regional Impact No. 119, and that certain Resolution (04-205) Amending the Development Order for the Northwood Development of Regional Impact (86-17).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that the (1) first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), or (II) failure of Borrower to permit on-site inspections of the Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or to comply with Section 4.1.30 hereof, or (III) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property, or (IV) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (III) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder.

 

Section 9.5                                      Termination of Manager.  If (a) the amounts evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (b) the Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, (d) Manager is not managing the Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the Property or the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property for the preceeding twelve month period is less than or equal to 2.10  to 1.0, or (e) if Manager shall assign the Management Agreement without Lender’s consent (if such consent is required pursuant to the Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement between Manager, Lender and Borrower) then, in the case of (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.  In addition and without limiting the rights of

 

72



 

Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.

 

Section 9.6                                      Servicer.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer.  Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 9.7                                      Splitting the Loan.  At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other.  Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion.  Lender hereby agrees to be responsible for all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional Loans.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

(b)                                 This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion.  Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 10.19                          Waiver of Counterclaim.  Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

 

Section 10.20                          Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.  Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.21                          Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Inland Mortgage Corp.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

3



 

all interest accrued thereon shall be governed by section 9.3 hereof.

 

4.            PROPERTY INFORMATION; TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW; INSPECTIONS AND DUE DILIGENCE; TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES; CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

4.1           Property Information.  If not delivered by Seller to Purchaser before the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within five business days after the Effective Date, to the extent in Seller’s possession, the following (collectively, the “Property Information”):

(b)           [intentionally deleted];

4.2           Title and Survey Review; Title Policy.

 

4.2.1 Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey. Seller has, prior to the Effective Date, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, obtained and delivered to Purchaser: (i) a preliminary title commitment covering the Real Property (the “Title Commitment”), together with legible photocopies of all documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”) referenced in the Title Commitment, which is intended to comply with the Title Commitment Requirements specified in Schedule 1; and, (ii) a new or updated ALTA survey for the Real Property, dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date (the “Survey”), which is intended to comply with the Survey Requirements specified in Schedule 2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no representations or warranties, and Seller shall have no responsibility, with respect to the completeness of the Title Documents made available to Purchaser by the Title Company, or the accuracy of the Survey.

 

4.2.2 Title and Survey Review and Cure. On or before the end of the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (“Purchaser’s Title and Survey Notice”) of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the matters reflected in the Title Commitment and Survey. The failure

 

4



 

of Purchaser to deliver to Seller Purchaser’s Title and Survey Notice on or before the end of the Title Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser’s approval of the condition of title to the Real Property.  If Purchaser disapproves any matter of title shown in the Title Commitment or Survey, Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within five days after its receipt of the Purchaser’s Title and Survey Notice (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate or ameliorate to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction the disapproved title matters by giving Purchaser written notice (“Seller’s Title and Survey Notice”) of those disapproved title matters, if any, which Seller agrees to so eliminate or ameliorate by the Closing Date.  Any title exception disapproved by Purchaser shall be deemed ameliorated to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction to the extent that Seller either causes such exception to be removed from the Title Policy (as defined in section 4.2.3, below)  or to be affirmatively insured over.  If Seller does not elect to, or is unable to, eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved title matters, if Purchaser reasonably disapproves Seller’s Title and Survey Notice, or if Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title and Survey Notice, Purchaser shall have the right, upon delivery to Seller and Escrow Holder, on or before five days following the expiration of Seller’s Election Period, of a written notice, to either: (a) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matters shall be deemed approved; or (b) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow (as defined in section 9.1, below).  Failure to take either one of the actions described in subsections (a) and (b), above, shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s election to take the action described in subsection (a), above.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in subsection (b), above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except pursuant to any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement), the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause to be released on or before the Close of Escrow all consensual monetary liens encumbering the Property (other than Permitted Exceptions [defined in section 4.2.3, below], and those created by the actions of Purchaser or its agents, representatives, contractors or employees), except for mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens with respect to which Seller may, in lieu of obtaining releases, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, take such action necessary to have such liens removed as exceptions to the Title Policy or obtain title insurance coverage for such liens.

 

If any encumbrance or other exception to title arises or is discovered after the delivery of the Title Commitment and Survey (an “Additional Encumbrance”), the party discovering such Additional Encumbrance shall promptly give written notice thereof to the other. No later than five days after delivery of the notice of such Additional Encumbrance, Purchaser shall deliver a new Purchaser’s Title and Survey Notice to Seller specifying whether the Additional Encumbrance is approved or disapproved. In

 

5



 

addition, Seller may propose Additional Encumbrances to Purchaser, for Purchaser’s approval. No Additional Encumbrance may be disapproved by Purchaser unless it materially and adversely affects the value of the Real Property, or its use or development as a retail shopping center. If Purchaser objects to the Additional Encumbrance, the parties shall proceed in the same manner as set forth above for disapproved title matters arising from the Title Commitment and Survey. If Purchaser fails to deliver Purchaser’s new Title and Survey Notice within the time specified in this paragraph, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Additional
Encumbrance(s).  After the Effective Date, Seller covenants not to cause Additional Encumbrances to be imposed on the Real Property which shall encumber the Real Property after the Close of Escrow without Purchaser’s prior written consent, not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser an updated Survey and updated Title Commitment, dated no earlier than 45 days before the Closing Date. Any new items shown on such updated Survey and/or Title Commitment shall, unless previously disclosed to Purchaser as an Additional Encumbrance, be deemed to be an Additional Encumbrance, which shall be resolved as provided above

 

4.2.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing.  As a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued and delivered to Purchaser, or shall have committed to issue and deliver to Purchaser, with respect to the Real Property, an Extended Coverage ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (1992 Form) (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed (as defined in section 6.1, below) conveying the Real Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of good and marketable fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and in compliance with the title requirements described in Schedule 2.  “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include: (a) any lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, including special assessments, not delinquent, (b) all matters which could be revealed or disclosed by a physical inspection or a survey of the Real Property, and matters affecting the Real Property which are created by or with the written consent of Purchaser, (c) the rights of the tenants under the Leases affecting the Real Property, (d) all exceptions disclosed by the Title Commitment or Survey relating to the Real Property which are approved, or deemed approved, by Purchaser in accordance with section 4.2.2 hereof, and (e) all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (Including, without limitation, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property.

 

4.3                                 Inspections; Due Diligence Period.

 

4.3.1 Inspections in General. Commencing from the Effective Date and continuing through and including the Closing Date, Purchaser, its agents and employees shall have a limited license (the “License”) to enter upon the Real Property for the

 

6



 

purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured, with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. All of such entries upon the Real Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least 48 hours’ prior notice to Seller, and Seller or Seller’s agent shall have the right to accompany Purchaser during any activities performed by Purchaser on the Real Property. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Purchaser’s right to inspect any of the occupied space in the Real Property shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect to such space, and such inspections shall not interfere with the rights of tenants. If any inspection or test disturbs the Real Property, Purchaser shall restore the Real Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify Seller and hold Seller, Seller’s, shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees and the Real Property harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities, including but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and Seller’s attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Real Property. The License shall be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this section 4.3.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.3.1 to inspect the Real Property after the Due Diligence Deadline shall not be deemed or construed to extend the Due Diligence Deadline, or give Purchaser any additional rights to terminate this Agreement.

 

4.3.2 Environmental Inspections.

provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder.

4.4                                 Tenant and REA Estoppel Certificates. It is a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate this transaction that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser, not less than tan (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, estoppel certificates (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), dated no earlier than 45 days before the Closing Date, in the form attached as Exhibit H or other form required under each particular Lease, executed by: (a) each of the following named tenants: Bed Bath & Beyond, Borders Books, Marshalls, Circuit City, Sports Authority, Mor Furniture, Carrabbas, Red Robin, Petco, Krispy Kreme, Paul Lee’s Chinese Kitchen (if a lease has then been executed with Paul Lee’s Chinese Kitchen), Village Inn, McDonalds and Peter Piper Pizza and (b) tenants occupying at least 85% of the leased rental floor area of the Real Property, excluding the floor area leased under the leases described in subsection (a), above.  Seller shall diligently attempt to obtain Tenant Estoppel Certificates from all tenants of the Property.

8

Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Purchaser shall not be obligated to assume any of Seller’s obligations under, and Seller shall terminate at Close of Escrow, the management and leasing agreement with respect to the Property, if any.

 

Purchaser acknowledges that Seller and Costco Wholesale Corporation are parties to a Sharing Agreement, as amended (the “Sharing Agreement”), with respect to, inter alia, the Development Agreement dated October 15, 2001, between the City of Avondale and Costco Wholesale Corporation, as amended, recorded on November 5, 2001, in the official records of Maricopa County, Arizona, as Instrument no.  2001-1034469. Neither the Sharing Agreement nor the Development Agreement is a Contract. All rights, duties and obligations of Seller under the Development Agreement and the Sharing Agreement shall remain the rights, duties and obligations of Seller following the Closing Date. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any asserted claims against Purchaser arising out of or related to the Development Agreement and/or the Sharing Agreement. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller so that Seller may exercise all of its rights, duties and obligations under the Development Agreement and/or the Sharing Agreement.

The terms of this Agreement shall not be disclosed to anyone before the Close of Escrow except to Purchaser’s and Seller’s consultants who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information. The confidentiality provisions of this section 4.6 shall not apply to any disclosures made by Purchaser or Seller as required by law, by court order, or in connection with any subpoena served upon Purchaser or Seller, although Purchaser and Seller shall provide each other with written notice before making any such disclosure.

 

5.                                     OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

 

5.1           Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth below, Seller

 

9



 

shall carry on its businesses and activities relating to the Real Property in the same manner as it did before the Effective Date.

 

5.2                                 New Contracts.  Before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may, without Purchaser’s consent, enter into contracts relating to the Real Property, as long as Seller provides Purchaser with written notice of the same not later than ten days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period.  Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall not enter into any contract that shall be an obligation affecting the Real Property subsequent to the Close of Escrow (except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on 30-days’ notice), without the prior consent of the Purchaser.  Purchaser’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Purchaser shall respond to Seller’s request for Purchaser’s consent within ten days.

 

5.3                                 Leasing Arrangements.  Before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may, without Purchaser’s consent, enter into new leases of space in the Real Property and amendments, expansions and renewals of the Leases, as long as Seller provides Purchaser with prior written notice of the same not less than ten days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period.  Following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may enter into new leases of space in the Real Property and amendments, expansions and renewals of Leases, only with Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s failure to consent to a proposed tenant will not be deemed unreasonable if:  (a) the proposed tenant’s use would violate any REA, any existing exclusive or any prohibited use in any tenant Lease, or otherwise be incompatible with a first class shipping center;  (b)  the proposed minimum rent is less than the minimum rent specified for such space in the Rent Roll; or (c) the proposed lease contains sent concessions which extend beyond the Closing Date which are not reflected on the Rent Roll (unless Seller agrees to give Purchaser a credit at the Close of Escrow for such unexpired concession).  Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to any new Lease or any Lease amendment, expansion or renewal if it has not notified Seller specifying with particularity the matters to which Purchaser reasonably objects, within five days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the Lease amendment, expansion or renewal, or the new Lease.  Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is currently in negotiations (including negotiations of letters of intent) for those leases (the “Pending Leases”) described on Schedule 3. Purchaser expressly consents to Seller entering into each of the Pending Leases, provided that the final version of each Pending Lease contains economic terms which are no less favorable to the landlord than those shown on Schedule 3.  At the Close of Escrow, Purchaser shall, with respect to all new Leases that were entered into pursuant to this section 5.3, and with respect to all other Lease amendments, expansions, assume in writing (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale) Seller’s obligations arising on or after the Closing Date under such new

 

10



 

Leases and Lease amendments, expansions or renewals.

 

5.4                                      Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened against the Real Property before the Close of Escrow, and risk of loss to the Real Property due to fire, flood or any other cause before the Close of Escrow, shall remain with Seller, If before the Close of Escrow the Real property or any portion thereof shall be materially damaged, or if the Real Property or any material portion thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Purchaser may elect not to acquire the Real Property by delivering written notice of such election to Seller within five days after Purchaser learns of the damage or taking, in which event Purchaser shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, the Real Property. If the Closing Date is within the said five-day period, the Close of Escrow shall be extended to the next business day following the expiration of said five-day period. If no such election is made or if the damage is not material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Close of Escrow, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be paid for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Purchaser any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be paid for such damage or destruction giving Purchaser a credit at the Close of Escrow for any deductible under such policies.  For purposes of this section 5.4, (i) “Material damage” or “Materially damaged” means damage exceeding $250,000.00, (ii) “material portion” means any portion of the Real Property that has a fair market value exceeding $250,000.00.

 

The provisions of this section 5.4 hereof shall govern their obligations in the event of damage or destruction to the Real Property or condemnation of all or part of the Real Property.

(d)                                 There shall exist no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding with respect to Seller before or by any court or administrative agency which seeks to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby; and

 

(e)                                  As of the Closing Date, construction which is landlord’s obligation with respect to the Leases therefor shall have been completed as required under such Leases.  Said construction shall be completed in accordance with all the plans and specifications therefor as accepted by the City of Avondale, Arizona.  If and to the extent of landlord’s obligation under the pertinent Lease, Seller shall be solely liable for any and all “punch list” items.  If such items are not completed as of the Closing Date, Seller shall deposit into the Vacancy Escrow Account an amount reasonably estimated by Seller and Purchaser for completion of such items, to be disbursed upon completion of such work and delivery to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent of estoppel certificates, certificates of occupancy and other evidence reasonably requested by Seller, Purchaser and/or Escrow Holder.

Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses

 

19



 

(collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Property. To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for Operating Costs) is paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Purchaser and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Close of Escrow for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow to the estimated payments as of the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants shall be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Purchaser shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available.

 

10.3                           Taxes and Assessments.  Real estate taxes and personal property taxes on the Property, including without limitation installments of general, special or betterment assessments on the Property (“Taxes”), shall be prorated based upon the period (i.e., calendar or other tax fiscal year) to which some are attributable, regardless of whether or not any such Taxes are then due and payable or are a lien.  Seller shall pay at or prior to Closing (or Purchaser shall receive credit for) any unpaid Taxes attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date (whether or not than due and payable or a lien as aforesaid) . Seller shall receive credit for any previously paid or prepaid Taxes attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date. In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of Taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used; and after the Closing Date and when the actual amount of Taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such Taxes will be reprorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such Taxes.

 

10.4                           [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

10.5                           Tenant Deposits.  All tenant security deposits reflected in Leases or disclosed in Tenant Estoppel Certificates and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Purchaser at the Close of Escrow.  As of the Close of Escrow, Purchaser shall assume

 

20



 

Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any security deposits and shall reimburse Seller for all attorneys’ fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all losses, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by Seller as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants.

 

10.6                           Utilities and Utility Deposits.  Utilities for the Real Property (excluding utilities for which payment is made directly by tenants), including, without limitation, water, sewer, electric and gas, based upon the last reading of meters before the Close of Escrow, shall be prorated.  Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date.  If such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items, Seller shall pay at Close of Escrow the bills therefor for the period to the day before the Close of Escrow, and Purchaser shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto.  If the utility company shall not issue separate bills, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and shall pay the entire bill before delinquency after Close of Escrow.  If Seller has paid utilities no more than 30 days in advance in the ordinary course of business, Purchaser shall be charged its portion of such payment at Close of Escrow.  Purchaser shall be responsible for paying any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to the Real Property.

 

10.7                           December Stub Period.  Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Close of Escrow for the “December Stub Period” amounts for minimum rent and CAM Expenses for the Unoccupied Spaces, as all such terms are defined in the Vacancy Escrow Agreement.

 

10.8                           Percentage Rents.  Percentage rents (“Percentage Rents”) actually collected for the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Percentage Rents due after the Close of Escrow shall not be prorated.  Nevertheless, after Purchaser has completed any reconciliation of actual Percentage Rents payable and estimated Percentage Rents paid by tenants, and all reconciled amounts have been paid by tenants, a reconciliation shall be made between Seller and Purchaser with respect to such Percentage Rents. Pursuant to such reconciliation, Seller and Purchaser shall each be entitled to its proportionate share of all Percentage Rents paid for the subject Lease year used to calculate each tenant’s Percentage Rents (less any out-of-pocket costs incurred in collecting said amounts, which shall belong to Purchaser) based on the number of days of such year during which Seller and Purchaser owned the Property (and adjusted for any amount of Percentage Rent prorated at Close of Escrow or received by Seller or Purchaser). As used in this section, “Percentage Rents” shall not include and shall have deducted from such Percentage Rent amount any “base” or “minimum” rent component which is payable each month (regardless of actual sales), “base” or “minimum” rent component shall

 

21



 

be prorated or otherwise handled in the manner provided in this Agreement. Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect all Percentage Rents payable after the Close of Escrow and relating to the period before the Close of Escrow, and all Percentage Rents which are delinquent as of the Close of Escrow, including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of the same. Seller may pursue collection of all Percentage Rents payable after the Close of Escrow and relating to the period before the Close of Escrow and all Percentage Rents which are delinquent as of the Close of Escrow, although Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.

 

10.9                           Final Adjustment After Closing.  If final prorations cannot be made at the Close of Escrow for any item being prorated under this section 10, as long as Purchaser or Seller identifies any such proration (“Post-Closing Proration”) in writing before the Close of Escrow, Purchaser and Seller shall allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Close of Escrow (but in no event later than 90 days after the Close of Escrow, except that adjustments arising from Percentage Rants under section 10.8 hereof shall not be subject to such 90-day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible).  Operating Costs shall be a Post-Closing Proration. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than 100 days after the Close of Escrow, except that adjustments arising from Percentage Rents under section 10.8 hereof shall not be subject to such 100-day limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible. Seller shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, Purchaser’s books to confirm the final prorations for a period of one year after the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this section 10, except for any reconciliation arising out of Percentage Rents under section 10.8 hereof and except for any Post-Closing Prorations (which must be determined and paid within 100 days after the Close of Escrow), all prorations made under this section 10 shall be final as of the Close of Escrow and shall not be subject to further adjustment (whether due to an error or for any other reason) after the Close of Escrow.

 

11.                               SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; AS-IS.

(a)   (i)       Seller has the legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the instruments described herein, and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby;

 

22



 

(ii)       All requisite action (corporate, trust, partnership or otherwise) has been taken by Seller in connection with the entering into this Agreement and the instruments described herein, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby. No consent of any partner, shareholder, trustee, member, manager, trustor, beneficiary, creditor, investor, judicial or administrative body, governmental authority or other party is required;

 

(iii)      The individuals executing this Agreement and the instruments described herein on behalf of Seller and the partners of Seller, if any, have the legal power, right and actual authority to bind Seller to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof;

 

(iv)     This Agreement and all documents required hereby to be executed by Seller are and shall be valid, legally binding obligations of, and enforceable against, Seller in accordance with their terms; and

 

(v)      The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the documents and instruments described herein, the incurrence of the obligations set forth herein, the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein, the compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the documents and instruments referenced herein do not and shall not conflict with or result in the material breach of any term, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, any bond, note or other evidence of indebtedness or any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, partnership agreement, articles of organization, operating agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party, affecting Seller or affecting the Property;

 

(b)                   To Seller’s actual knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice that either the Property or Seller, or both, are subject to any existing, pending or threatened investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority or to any remedial obligations under any applicable laws pertaining to health or the environment;

 

(c)                    To Seller’s actual knowledge, the Rent Roll and the copies of the Leases delivered to Purchaser are true, current and complete copies thereof.  There may, however, be minor variances in the copies of Leases resulting from copier errors. Seller shall correct any mistakes in the Lease copies due to copier errors within a reasonable time after becoming aware of such errors;

 

(d)                   Seller has no actual knowledge that the Real Property has been contaminated by, or used for the storage or disposal of, any hazardous substances, hazardous waste or petroleum which, as of the Effective Date, is required by any governmental entity to be remediated;

 

23



 

(e)                                  Seller has no actual knowledge of any pending litigation (including, without limitation, any condemnation or notice of condemnation) affecting or related to the Property;

 

(f)                                    Seller has no actual knowledge of any governmental violations with respect to the Property, or that the interior and exterior structures are not in a good state of repair, free of leaks, structural problems and mold, or that the Property is not in compliance with federal, state, city and county ordinances, environmental laws and concerns;

 

(g)                                 no tenant under a Lease has a lease term that exceeds the lease term stated in its Lease, nor does any tenant under a Lease, except as set forth in its Lease, have an option or right of first refusal to purchase or extend; and

 

(h)                                 Purchaser shall have no obligation whatever regarding the construction described in section 7.1(e), above.

 

For purposes of this section 11.1, the phrase “To Seller’s Actual Knowledge” shall mean the actual (and not implied, imputed or constructive) knowledge of Jeff Allen (whom the Seller represents is the vice president of the managing member of the managing member of Seller), without any inquiry or investigation of any other parties, including, without limitation, the tenants and the property manager of the Real Property.

 

The representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall survive the recordation of the Deed for a period of 12 months and any action for a breach of Seller’s representations or warranties must be made and filed within said 12-month period. If, after the Effective Date, but before the Close of Escrow, Seller becomes aware of any facts or changes in circumstances that would cause any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Seller may notify Purchaser in writing of such fact. In such case, or if Purchaser obtains information which would cause any of Seller’s representations and warranties to be untrue at Close of Escrow, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right, chosen in a writing from Purchaser to Seller no later than three business days after Seller shall have so notified Purchaser or Purchaser shall have obtained such information, to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for sections 4.3.1 and 15.5 which survive termination of this Agreement), or (ii) accept a qualification to Seller’s representations and warranties as of the Close of Escrow and complete the purchase and sale of the Property without any rights to recovery for breach of the unqualified representation and warranty. Failure of Purchaser so to elect either subsection (i) or (ii), above, shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s election to take the action described in subsection (ii), above. If, however, Seller’s representations and warranties shall be untrue at the Close of Escrow because of Seller’s intentional misrepresentation,

 

24



 

in lieu of the remedies described in subsections (i) and (ii), above, within three business days after Purchaser’s becoming aware of the same, upon written notice from Purchaser to Seller, Seller shall be in default under this Agreement. Other than as set forth in the three immediately preceding sentences, if Purchaser proceeds with the Close of Escrow, Purchaser shall be deemed to have expressly waived all remedies for the breach of any representation or warranty discovered by Purchaser before the Close of Escrow.

 

11.2                           As-Is.  As of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have:

 

(a)                                  examined and inspected the Property, and shall know and be satisfied with the physical condition, quality, quantity and state of repair of the Property in all respects (including, without limitation, the compliance of the Real Property with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 Pub.L. 101-336, 104 Stat. 327 (1990), and any comparable local or state laws, as amended (collectively, the “ADA”)), and by proceeding with this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed to have determined that the same is satisfactory to Purchaser;

 

(b)                                 reviewed the Property Information and all instruments, records and documents which Purchaser deems appropriate or advisable to review in connection with this transaction, including, without limitation, all architectural drawings, plans, specifications, surveys, building and occupancy permits, and any licenses, leases, contracts, warranties and guaranties relating to the Real Property or the business conducted thereon, and Purchaser, by proceeding with this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be deemed to have determined that the same and the information and data contained therein and evidenced thereby are satisfactory to Purchaser;

 

(c)                                  reviewed all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (including, but not limited to, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property, and Purchaser, by proceeding with this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be deemed to have determined that the same are satisfactory to Purchaser; and

 

(d)                                 at its own cost and expense, made its own independent investigation respecting the Property and all other aspects of this transaction, and shall have relied thereon and on the advice of its consultants in entering into this Agreement, and Purchaser, by proceeding with this transaction following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, shall be deemed to have determined that the same are satisfactory to Purchaser.

Accordingly, subject to the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in section 11.1 hereof, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and all of its officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, managers, employees, representatives and affiliated entities (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies Releasors may now or hereafter have against Seller, its successors and assigns, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, managers, employees, representatives and affiliated entities (the “Seller Parties”), whether known or unknown, which may arise from or be related to:  (a) the physical condition, quality, quantity and state of repair of the Real Property, and the prior management and operation of the Real Property, (b) the Property Information, (c) the Real Property’s compliance or lack of compliance with any federal, state or local laws or regulations, and (d) any past, present or future presence or existence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Real Property, and with respect to any past, present or future violation of any rules, regulations or laws, now or hereafter enacted, regulating or governing the use, handling, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, (i)  all rights and remedies Raleasors may now or hereafter have under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), the Superfund

IN ADDITION, PURCHASER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF PURCHASER TO SELLER IF THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A PURCHASER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE SELLER TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLER MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF A PURCHASER DEFAULT. PURCHASER AND SELLER, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER SHALL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH PURCHASER DEFAULT. PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLER MAY, IF THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A PURCHASER DEFAULT, TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO PURCHASER AND ESCROW HOLDER, CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RECEIVE OR RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND ESCROW HOLDER SHALL IMMEDIATELY DELIVER (UNLESS IT HAS ALREADY DONE SO) THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER.

Section 2.2            Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.

 

2.2.1        Interest Generally.   Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

 

2.2.2        Interest Calculation.   Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable for a period of less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year.

 

2.2.3        Payments Generally.   Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to but not including the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, and (b) on February 1, 2005 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which shall be applied to interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the prior calendar month at the Interest Rate.

19



 

2.2.5        Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and other the Loan Documents.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) in the event of a non-monetary default, the cure of such Event of Default by Borrower and acceptance of such cure by Lender, and (ii) in the event of a monetary default, the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default.

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

Section 2.3             Prepayments.

 

2.3.1        Voluntary Prepayments.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date. On or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, provided it has given Lender prior written notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, prepay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in whole, but not in part, by paying, together with the amount to be prepaid, (i) interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid to and including the date of prepayment, (ii) unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid after the date of prepayment through and including the next Payment Date had the prepayment not been made (which amount shall constitute additional consideration for the prepayment), (iii) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) if prepayment occurs prior to the Payment Date which is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, a prepayment consideration (the Prepayment Consideration) equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid or (B) the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under this Agreement including, but not limited to, principal and interest due on January 1, 2010 (with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of prepayment at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate), over (2) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.

 

(b)           On the Payment Date that is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt without payment of any Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium; provided, however, if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.  Borrower’s right to prepay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the amount to be prepaid and the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the amount to be prepaid as set forth in such notice on the projected date set forth in such notice or any day following such projected date occurring in the same calendar month as such projected date.

 

2.3.2        Mandatory Prepayments.    (a)    On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

 

21



 

(b)           On the date on which Borrower tenders a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment pursuant to Section 6.4(e) below, such tender shall include (a) all accrued and unpaid interest and the principal indebtedness being prepaid, including interest on the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note through the last day of the month within which such tender occurs, and (b) any other sums due hereunder relating to the applicable Note. Except as set forth in this Section 2.3.2(b), other than following an Event of Default, no Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.

 

2.3.3        Prepayments after Default. Following an Event of Default, if Borrower or anyone on Borrower’s behalf makes a tender of payment of all or any portion of the Debt at any time prior to a foreclosure sale (including a sale under the power of sale under the Mortgage), or during any redemption period after foreclosure, (i) the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of Borrower’s obligation to pay any Prepayment Consideration due under this Agreement and such payment shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include a premium equal to the Prepayment Consideration that would have been payable on the date of such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.

 

Section 2.4             Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 2.5             Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property. If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire amount of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.1 and the requirements of this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage.

 

2.5.1        Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.3.1 of this Loan Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property not theretofore released.

4.1.5        Agreements.   Except such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Encumbrances in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound.  Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.6        Title.   Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignment of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, no petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.

 

4.1.8        Full and Accurate Disclosure.   To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

 

4.1.9        No Plan Assets.   Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement.

Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a retail shopping center, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

All roads necessary for the use of the Property for their current respective purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

5.1.1        Existence: Compliance with Legal Requirements: Insurance. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. Borrower shall not commit, nor shall Borrower permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments

 

35

After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate lega1 proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) the Property or any part thereof or interest therein will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.

If Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower, provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and provided that the Taxes are being paid pursuant to Section 7.2. Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that such Taxes have been paid. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) Borrower is

If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed $500,000.00 (the Threshold Amount), Borrower, upon Lender’s request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution.  Any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement, (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Property have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement and (3) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Property is not insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement, Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or an Event of Default shall have occurred.

 

Section 7.3             Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

7.3.1        Replacement Reserve Fund.   Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the Replacements), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.15 per year per square foot of gross leasable area. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Replacement Reserve Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Replacement Reserve Account. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Property to Lender’s satisfaction. Upon notice from Lender following; (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements or otherwise maintain the Property to Lender’s satisfaction, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice.

 

7.3.2        Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.    (a)  Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).

 

60



 

(b)           Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.

 

(c)           Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

(d)           Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account.  In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

 

(e)           If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon

 

61



 

completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

 

(f)            Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.

 

7.3.3        Performance of Replacements.

 

(a)           Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

 

(b)           Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by Borrower. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

 

(c)           In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d)           In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage.  For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be

 

62



 

revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

(f)            Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

 

(g)           Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account.  Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

 

(h)           The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

 

(i)            Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the

 

63



 

date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

 

(j)            All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

(k)           In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

 

7.3.4        Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)           Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

 

7.3.5        Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

7.3.6        Indemnification. BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, OBLIGATIONS AND COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING LITIGATION COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES) ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REPLACEMENTS.

 

64



 

UNLESS THE SAME ARE SOLELY DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER. BORROWER SHALL ASSIGN TO LENDER ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS BORROWER MAY HAVE AGAINST ALL PERSONS OR ENTITIES SUPPLYING LABOR OR MATERIALS IN CONNECTION WITH THE REPLACEMENTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LENDER MAY NOT PURSUE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR CLAIM UNLESS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND REMAINS UNCURED.

7.7.1        Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

 

7.7.2        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

 

7.7.3        The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

7.7.5        Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

7.7.6        Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

 

7.7.7        Upon payment in full of the Debt and performance of all other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all remaining Reserve Funds.

Section 8.2             Remedies.

 

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

 

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

 

(c)           Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the

 

68



 

Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)           As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.

 

Section 8.3             Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1             Sale of Notes and Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the Securitization) of rated single or multi-class securities (the Securities) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage.

All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.

Section 9.3             Rating Surveillance.     Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the Rating Surveillance Charge).

 

Section 9.4             Exculpation.     Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender or Trustee may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender or Trustee to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any other collateral given to Lender or Trustee pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender or Trustee, and Lender or Trustee, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or

 

70



 

demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender or Trustee to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender or Trustee to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender or Trustee commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender or Trustee to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

 

(i)            fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Indemnitor in connection with the Loan;

 

(ii)           the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

 

(iii)          material physical waste of the Property;

 

(iv)          the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

 

(v)           the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;

 

(vi)          the misapplication, or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default;

 

(vii)         failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on any portion of the Property; or

 

(viii)        any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.

 

71



 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note, the Indemnity Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that (I) the first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such five (5) day grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), or (II) Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or to comply with Section 4.1.30 hereof, or (III) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to the extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property, or (IV) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement, so long as any of the events described in clauses (I), (II), (III) or (IV) of this paragraph continue to exist. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (III) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder.

 

Section 9.5             Termination of Manager.    If (a) the amounts evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (b) the Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, or (d) Manager is not managing the Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the Property, then, in the case of (a), (b), (c) or (d), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from

 

72



 

the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.

 

Section 9.6             Servicer.     At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the Servicer) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the Servicing Agreement) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 9.7             Splitting the Loan.     At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as Severing Documentation), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion. Lender hereby agrees to be responsible for all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional Loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

Section 10.1           Survival.     This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

 

Section 10.2           Lender’s Discretion.     Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether

 

73



 

arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

 

Section 10.3           Governing Law.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 10.5           Delay Not a Waiver.            Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

Section 10.6           Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, and by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section):

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

Section 10.8           Headings.     The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

 

Section 10.9           Severability.     Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.10         Preferences.     Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be

 

76



 

satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

 

Section 10.11         Waiver of Notice.      Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Section 10.12         Remedies of Borrower.     In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

(b)           BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS LENDER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, CLAIMS, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL FOR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING COMMENCED OR THREATENED, WHETHER OR NOT LENDER SHALL BE DESIGNATED A PARTY THERETO), THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST LENDER IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF (I) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER, OR ANY MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATION BY BORROWER CONTAINED IN, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (II) THE USE OR INTENDED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO LENDER HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISE FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ILLEGAL ACTS, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UNDERTAKING TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE BECAUSE IT VIOLATES ANY LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY, BORROWER SHALL PAY THE MAXIMUM PORTION THAT IT IS PERMITTED TO PAY AND SATISFY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY LENDER.

 

Section 10.14         Schedules Incorporated.     The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

Section 10.15         Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.     Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

78



 

Section 10.16         No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)           This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

Section 10.17         Publicity.     All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Bear Steams, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender through any media intended to reach the general public which refers solely to the Borrower or to the Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to Provided Information included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization.

 

Section 10.18         Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.     To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or sale of the Property by power of sale, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 10.19         Waiver of Counterclaim.    Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

 

Section 10.20         Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.     In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and

 

79



 

execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.21         BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS.  BORROWER HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS DEALT WITH NO FINANCIAL ADVISORS, BROKERS, UNDERWRITERS, PLACEMENT AGENTS, AGENTS OR FINDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN INLAND MORTGAGE CORP. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LENDER’S REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM A CLAIM BY ANY PERSON THAT SUCH PERSON ACTED ON BEHALF OF BORROWER OR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.21 SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PAYMENT OF THE DEBT.

 

Section 10.22         Prior Agreements.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements or understandings among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.23         Sale of Loan.  Lender, at any time and without the consent of Borrower or Indemnitor, may grant participation in or sell, transfer, assign and convey all or any portion of its right, title and interest in and to the Loan, the servicing of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any guaranties given in connection with the Loan and any collateral given to secure the Loan. Borrower covenants to cooperate with Lender’s efforts in the securitization of the Loan; such cooperation includes Borrower’s obligation to (a) make non-material modifications of the Loan Documents (such modifications shall not (i) increase the amount of the Indebtedness, (ii) change the schedule and/or the amount of the monthly payment and (iii) change the Interest Rate), (b) provide additional information regarding Borrower’s financial statements, (c) deliver updated information regarding Borrower and the Property, (d) cooperate

 

80



 

with any third parties, including, but not limited to, rating agencies and potential investors to facilitate the rating and securitization of the Loan, (e) review Lender’s securitization offering materials to the extent such materials relate to Borrower, the Property or the Loan and (f) respond to any inquiries of Lender or other party relating thereto. Borrower agrees to represent and warrant the absence of misstatements and/or omissions in the information relating to Borrower, the Property and the Loan that is contained in the offering materials and which has been furnished to or approved by Borrower. Borrower shall not be liable for Lender’s post-closing costs incurred pursuant to any securitization of the Loan by Lender.

 

Section 10.24         Joint and Several Liability.     If Borrower consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each person or party shall be joint and several.

In the event Seller fails for reasons beyond Seller’s reasonable control to close on three (3) or more of the Properties, either party shall have the right, by notice delivered to the other party, to terminate this Agreement and in the event of such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit. Simultaneously with execution of this Agreement, affiliates of Seller and Purchaser are also entering into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Canada Contract”) with respect to 101 McNabb Street, Markham, Ontario, Canada (the “Canada Property”). In the event that Seller fails, for reasons beyond Seller’s reasonable control, to close on the Canada Property under the Canada Contract, then the references in the third and fourth sentences of this Section 2(4) to “not more than two (2) of the Properties”, and “on three (3) or more of die Properties”, respectively, shall be deemed changed to “not more than one (1) of the Properties” and “on two (2) or more of the Properties.”

 

(5)           If there shall be any real property tax or assessment appeals with respect to the period prior to Closing allocable to the Property, Seller may, at its option and at its sole cost and expense, continue the prosecution of such appeals and take related action which Seller reasonably deems appropriate in connection therewith. Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to be present at any hearings in connection with such proceedings with respect to the 2004 calendar year real property taxes. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with such proceedings and appeals and collection of any refund, credit or rebate of real property taxes paid relating to the time period prior to the Closing, but shall not be obligated to incur any expense as a result thereof. With respect to the period prior to Closing, Seller owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to such real property tax and tax assessment appeals and all rebates, credits or refunds, and all amounts payable in connection therewith or resulting from any statutory or legislative change shall be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities. With respect to the period prior to Closing, if such refund, rebate or credit or any part thereof is received by Purchaser or otherwise credited to Purchaser or to the tax roll for the Property, Purchaser shall promptly pay such amount to Seller unless Purchaser or the lessor under the Lease is obligated to pay such amount to the tenant under the Lease. Purchaser agrees that it shall make available to Seller

copies of all correspondence and other documentation relating to the reassessment of real property taxes relating to Property, which comes into the possession or control of the Purchaser subsequent to the Closing and relates to real property taxes for the period prior to the Closing.

 

The provisions of this Section 2(5) shall survive the Closing.

 

(6)           Purchaser shall forthwith restore any damage to the Property resulting from any audits, inspections or tests performed for or on behalf of Purchaser at the Property. Seller reserves, without limiting any of its other rights at law, equity or under this Agreement, the right to offset against the Deposit, the cost of repair and restoration of Property necessary as a result of damage or destruction caused by Purchaser’s “due diligence” which has not been repaired or restored by Purchaser within a reasonable period of time after Purchaser has been notified of such damage.

 

3.             APPORTIONMENTS.

 

Insofar as Seller or an affiliate of Seller and Purchaser will be entering into a Lease at the Closing with respect to each Property, there shall not be any apportionments or adjustments between Seller or Purchaser with respect to income and expenses for any Property. The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.             CLOSING DATE. The delivery of the Deeds and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at a location reasonably agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, at 10 a.m. local time on or about December 16, 2004 (the “Closing Date”). Time shall be of the essence with respect to the obligations of Purchaser to close the sale contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date and execute and deliver a Lease for each Property that Seller is able to convey in accordance with this Agreement on the Closing Date. The parties agree that with respect to ancillary closing documents (i.e., all documents to be delivered at Closing pursuant to this Agreement except Leases, SNDA’s, estoppels, Memoranda of Leases, Deeds and any other closing documents that the parties hereto agree to record) required to be delivered on the Closing Date, executed facsimile copies of ancillary closing documents shall be acceptable; provided that originals of such ancillary documents shall be delivered within two (2) business days after the Closing Date.

 

Purchaser acknowledges that Seller intends to effectuate (i) a legal subdivision of the AESC-SLC Property and (ii) a legal re-subdivision of the AEPC Property (the AESC-SLC Property and the AEPC Property, together, the “Subdivision Properties”). Seller intends to retain ownership of (i) that portion of the AESC-SLC Property designated as the Excess Land on Schedule 1-F attached hereto and (ii) a re-subdivided portion of Lot 1 of the AEPC Property (such portions of the Subdivided Properties being referred to herein as “Excess Land”). Purchaser further acknowledges that despite Seller’s diligent efforts in pursuing such legal subdivision and re-subdivision, such subdivision and re-subdivision will not be completed as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in good faith to effectuate such subdivision and re-subdivision including, without limitation, by signing such documents as may be required to be signed by the owner of the Excess Land and by appointing Seller as Purchaser’s agent for purposes of appearing

 

4



 

before any municipal agency or planning commission solely in connection with effecting the subdivision or re-subdivision of the Excess Land from the balance of the applicable Subdivision Property and without any other changes to such Subdivision Property, except those required in order to effectuate the subdivision or re-subdivision, as applicable, and conditions thereto, and provided that Purchaser has the reasonable prior right of approval with respect to such changes. Purchaser and Seller agree that because the Subdivision Properties will not be legally subdivided or re-subdivided (as applicable) as desired by Seller by the Closing Date, Seller shall proceed to closing on such unsubdivided or unre-subdivided Subdivision Propert(ies), together with the related Excess Land, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall have an option, at such times as the previously uncompleted subdivisions or re-subdivision are legally completed, to purchase the then-subdivided or re-subdivided Excess Land for a purchase price equal to One and No/100 ($1.00) Dollar for each such parcel of Excess Land. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith to effectuate any purchase of Excess Land by Seller in a timely and orderly manner and Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver to Seller such documents as may be reasonably required by Seller and its attorneys, including, without limitation, a special warranty deed and such certificates and affidavits as may be required by Seller’s title insurance company in order to convey title to the Excess Land to Seller, free of all liens, encumbrances and other matters not reasonably acceptable to Seller. Seller agrees that if Excess Land is conveyed to Seller, Seller shall, at the time of such conveyance, arrange for updated title commitments (including (i) all endorsements included in Purchaser’s title insurance policy delivered at the original closing of the Subdivision Property and the related Excess Land and (ii) only those exceptions to title as were included in Purchaser’s title insurance policy delivered at the original closing of the Subdivision Property and the related Excess Land and any other exceptions to title as may be reasonably approved by or consented to by Purchaser) and updated ALTA certified surveys showing no survey defects to be delivered to Purchaser with respect to the applicable Subdivision Property. Upon the legal completion of a subdivision or re-subdivision hereunder and the conveyance of title to the Excess Land to Seller, if the fair value (determined by having the original appraisal for the applicable Subdivision Property (exclusive of the Excess Land) used in connection with determining the Purchase Price Allocation for such Subdivision Property updated to the date of the legal completion of the subdivision, the “Fair Value”), of the Subdivision Property (exclusive of the Excess Land), exceeds the Purchase Price Allocation (i.e., $18,000,000.00 for the AEPC Property and $48,000,000.00 for the AESC-SLC Property) for such Subdivision Property, then (X) Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in cash, the difference between (i) the Fair Value of the applicable Subdivision Property (exclusive of the Excess Land) as of the date of the legal completion of the subdivision or re-subdivision (as applicable) and (ii) the Purchase Price Allocation for such Subdivision Property and (Y) the Base Rent (as defined in the Lease) to be paid by Seller to Purchaser under the Lease for the applicable Subdivision Property shall be increased proportionately. In the event that the Fair Value of the Subdivision Property (exclusive of the Excess Land) is less than the Purchase Price Allocation for such Subdivision Property, then there shall be no adjustment in the purchase price hereunder or the Base Rent under the Lease for the applicable Subdivision Property.

 

In the event that a subdivision or re-subdivision is not legally completed by the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (“the Subdivision Outside Date”) or if Seller does not elect to purchase the Excess Land pursuant to its option as set forth above, then, at the earlier of such date that (i) Seller gives Purchaser written notice that Seller has elected

 

5



 

not to purchase the Excess Land or (ii) the Subdivision Outside Date has occurred (such date, the “Re-valuation Date”), (I) Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Fair Value of the Subdivision Property and the Excess Land as of the Re-valuation Date and (y) the Purchase Price Allocation for the Subdivision Property and (II) the Base Rent to be paid by Seller to Purchaser under the Lease for the applicable Subdivision Property shall be increased proportionately.

 

If Seller elects to proceed to subdivide or re-subdivide (as applicable) the Subdivision Properties, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith and at no cost to Purchaser, to cause the subdivision and re-subdivision and transfers contemplated by this paragraph to occur in a timely and orderly manner. Purchaser shall take all action reasonably requested by Seller in order to effect such subdivision and re-subdivision.

 

5.             PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES. Subject to Purchaser’s review in accordance with Section 6(1) below, Seller shall convey and Purchaser shall accept title to the Properties subject to those matters set forth on Schedule “2” annexed hereto and made a part hereof (collectively the “Permitted Encumbrances”); provided, however, that upon the request of either party hereto, Schedule 2 may be revised after the execution of this Agreement so long as any subsequent revisions to the Permitted Encumbrances schedule (i) are to include items of the same type and category as those items set forth on Schedule 2 attached to this Agreement as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, (ii) are reasonably acceptable to both parties, (iii) do not create any encroachments or violate any restrictions of record or covenants of record for the applicable Property(ies) other than encroachments with respect to which Title Company has agreed to insure over or restrictions of record or covenants of record that do not interfere with the use or enjoyment of the Properties and for which the Title Company has agreed to issue a “Comprehensive 1 Endorsement” or a “Restrictions Endorsement”, in either event confirming “no violations” and (iv) do not occur after the Closing Date.

 

6.             TITLE.

 

(1)          (i)             Prior to the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has received (x) title commitments and the related underlying documents (together, “Title Commitments”) for each of the Properties from the Title Company and (y) surveys as more particularly described on Schedule 2 as items 1(a)- (h) (the “Surveys”, together with the Title Commitments, the “Title Items”). Purchaser has provided Seller with notices for each of the Properties of its comments and objections to the Title Items (each such notice, a “Title Objection Letter” and collectively, the “Title Objection Letters”), Purchaser and Seller have, and shall continue, in good faith, to address Purchaser’s comments and attempt to eliminate Purchaser’s objections as contained in the Title Objection Letters. Not later than one (1) business day after Purchaser determines that the Title Items for a Property are reasonably acceptable, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller stating same and the Deposit Allocation for such Property shall become non-refundable to Purchaser, unless Seller defaults hereunder or Seller fails to satisfy any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close which is not waived by Purchaser, in which case the applicable Deposit Allocation shall be refunded to Purchaser, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

6



 

(ii)           In the event that, prior to the Closing, (x) Purchaser and Seller have not, to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, addressed Purchaser’s comments and/or eliminated Purchaser’s objections to the Title Items as contained in the Title Objection Letters or (y) Purchaser receives updated Title Commitments or Surveys which indicate the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions in or to title to the Properties other than Permitted Encumbrances and those identified on the initial Title Items, (collectively, the “Unacceptable Encumbrances”), subject to which Purchaser is unwilling to accept title, then provided Purchaser gives Seller notice of the same within one (1) business day after receipt of such updated Title Items, Seller shall undertake to eliminate such Unacceptable Encumbrances. Purchaser hereby waives any right Purchaser may have to advance as objections to title or as grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction any Unacceptable Encumbrance with respect to which Purchaser has not notified Seller prior to the Closing (failure to so notify Seller shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of its right to raise such Unacceptable Encumbrance as an objection to title or as a ground for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction). Seller, in its sole discretion, may adjourn the Closing, as to any one of more Properties, one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order to attempt, in good faith, to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances and to complete the subdivision of the AESC-SLC Property. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and shall also use its reasonable good faith efforts to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser so that Purchaser may obtain title insurance from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”); provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to spend any money or satisfy any conditions for Chicago Title Insurance Company that Seller would not have been required to satisfy for LandAmerica and in no event shall extensions of time be granted in this Section 6(1) for new searches or commitments that duplicate what is made available to Purchaser by LandAmerica. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay $195,533.49 in respect of all title searches, reports, premiums and closing fees in connection with title insurance policies issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company for the Properties and Chicago Title Insurance Company’s agreement to act as Escrow Agent.

 

(2)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Title Item objected to by Purchaser or Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Title Items or Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Properties; except that Seller shall (A) either (i) satisfy or (ii) cause a reputable title company to insure over (it being agreed that Purchaser shall be required to accept such “cure” from any reputable title company agreeing to insure over such matter) (x) mortgages voluntarily imposed by Seller, (y) judgments against Seller or (z) other liens voluntarily imposed by Seller (excluding mechanic’s liens) (collectively, “Voluntary Liens”) secured by or affecting the Properties which can be satisfied by payment of liquidated amounts and (B) with respect to (x) judgments as to which Seller is disputing or contesting, and (y) liens not voluntarily imposed by Seller (collectively, “Involuntary

 

7



 

Liens”) affecting the Properties which can be satisfied by payment of liquidated amounts, Seller shall be obligated to spend, with respect to the applicable affected Property, an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) two (2%) percent of the Purchase Price allocated for such Property or (ii) $500,000.00 per affected Property, to satisfy or cause a reputable title company to insure over (it being agreed that Purchaser shall be required to accept such “cure” from any reputable title company agreeing to insure over such matter) such Involuntary Lien. Without limiting the generality of the preceding provisions of this Section 6(2), for the purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation Sections 6(1) and 17(1)), Seller’s failure or refusal to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or to otherwise incur any expense (except for Seller’s obligation to satisfy or cause a reputable title insurance company to insure over such Voluntary Liens and Involuntary Liens as aforesaid) in order to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser or to arrange for such title insurance shall not be a default by Seller hereunder (willful or otherwise) and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any damages in connection therewith. Further, if Purchaser elects not to close the transaction solely due to Seller’s failure to cure or cause a reputable title company to insure over any Voluntary Liens or Involuntary Liens as aforesaid, such failure shall not be a default by Seller hereunder, however, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $100,000. With respect to any Involuntary Lien, Seller shall not be permitted to elect to reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with this Agreement in lieu of Seller’s obligation to attempt to cure an Involuntary Lien as aforesaid; provided, however, if Seller, in its reasonable opinion reasonably exercised, believes that the expenditure of the lesser of (i) two (2%) percent of the Purchase Price allocated for such Property or (ii) $500,000 per affected Property, will not “cure” such Involuntary Lien, then Seller shall not be obligated to expend such sums, and Seller shall remain liable to reimburse Purchaser for its actual reasonable third party costs, not to exceed $100,000. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be liable for any damages, cost and/or expenses, including, without limitation, damages, suffered by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s affiliates resulting from, or in any way related to, the expiration of Purchaser’s “rate lock”, which the parties acknowledge expires on December 17, 2004. With respect to mechanic’s liens, Seller shall address mechanic’s liens as provided for in the Lease.

 

(3)           If on the Closing Date there are any Liens or other encumbrances, subject to Section 6(2), which Seller must pay or discharge in order to convey to Purchaser such title as is herein provided to be conveyed, Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided:

 

(i)            Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or the Title Company, at the Closing, instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such Liens or other encumbrances of record together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments; or

 

8



 

(ii)           Seller, having made arrangements with the Title Company, shall deposit with said company sufficient monies acceptable to said company to insure the obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions; and

 

(iii)          The existence of any such Liens or other encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements.

 

(4)           If on the Closing Date there shall be conditional bills of sale, chattel mortgages or security interests filed against any of the Properties, the same shall not constitute objections to title provided Seller executes and delivers an affidavit and an indemnity (in form and substance and from an indemnitor reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) to the effect either (i) that the personal property (as defined in the Lease) covered by said conditional bills of sale, chattel mortgages, or security interests is no longer in or on the Properties, or (ii) if such personal property is still in or on any of the Properties, that it has either (x) been fully paid for, (y) is not the personal property of Seller or (z) would qualify as “Lessee’s Equipment or Personalty” under any of the Leases.

 

(5)           Any franchise or corporate tax open, levied or imposed against Seller or other owners in the chain of title that may be a Lien on the Closing Date, shall not be an objection to title if the Title Company omits same from the title policy issued pursuant to the Title Commitment or excepts same but insures Purchaser against collection thereof out of the Properties.

 

(6)           If a search of title discloses judgments, bankruptcies or other returns against other persons or entities having names the same as or similar to that of Seller, Seller will deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company an affidavit stating that such judgments, bankruptcies or other returns are not against Seller, whereupon, provided the Title Company omits such returns as exceptions to title or provides affirmative coverage with respect thereto, such returns shall not be deemed an objection to title.

 

7.             PROPERTY NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that any alterations at, on or in any of the Properties that (i) are readily removable without unrepaired damage to the Property, (ii) do not reduce the value, economic life or utility of the Property if removed, (iii) are not integral to the structure or operation of the Property, and (iv) are not required for the lawful occupancy of the Property shall not be included in the Properties to be sold to Purchaser hereunder. In addition, Seller’s Equipment and Personalty as described on Exhibit “B”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall also not be included in the Properties to be sold to Purchaser hereunder. With respect to the FRC-W Property, FRC shall assign to TRS at Closing all of FRC’s right, title and interest in the property described above in this paragraph (including but not limited to Seller’s Equipment and Personalty described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto) as not being sold to Purchaser hereunder.

 

8.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

(1)           Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any Lease, neither Seller, nor any person acting on behalf of Seller,

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser has not relied on any representations or warranties, and neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates, nor any of their agents or representatives has or is willing to make any representations or warranties, express or implied, other than as may be expressly set forth herein and in the Lease, as to (i) the status of title to the Properties, (ii) existing lease agreements, (iii) the current or future real estate tax liability, assessment or valuation of the Properties; (iv) the potential qualification of the Properties for any and all benefits conferred by any laws whether for subsidies, special real estate tax treatment, insurance, mortgages or any other benefits, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated; (v) the compliance of the Properties in their current or any future state with applicable laws or any violations thereof, including, without limitation, those relating to access for the handicapped, environmental or zoning matters, and the ability to obtain a change in the zoning or a variance in respect to the Properties’ non-compliance, if any, with zoning laws; (vi) the nature and extent of any right-of-way, lease, possession, lien, encumbrance, license, reservation, condition or otherwise; (vii) the availability of any financing for the purchase, alteration, rehabilitation or operation of the Properties from any source, including, without limitation, any government authority or any lender; (viii) the current or future use of the Properties, including, without limitation, the Properties’ use for commercial, manufacturing or general office purposes; (ix) the present and future condition and operating state of any personal property and the present or future structural and physical condition of the improvements on the Properties, their suitability for rehabilitation or renovation, or the need for expenditures for capital improvements, repairs or replacements thereto; (x) the viability or financial condition of any tenant; (xi) the status of the leasing market in which the Properties are located; or (xii) the actual or projected income or operating expenses of the Properties.

 

(2)           Purchaser expressly acknowledges that it is acquiring the Properties based solely on its own independent investigation and inspection of the Properties and not in reliance on any information provided by Seller, or any of the other Exculpated Parties, except for the representations expressly set forth herein or in any Lease, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as used herein the term “Exculpated Parties” shall not include any parties or entities who have prepared any of the Third Party Reports, but in no event shall this sentence be deemed to exclude

 

10



 

Seller nor any direct or indirect officer, director, partner, shareholder or employee of Seller as an Exculpated Party. “Third Party Reports” shall mean all Environmental Reports (as defined in any Lease), appraisals, certificates, reports, assessments, studies or other information delivered to Purchaser for its review with respect to the Properties. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has afforded Purchaser the opportunity for full and complete investigations, examinations and inspections of the Properties and all Property Information. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Property Information delivered or made available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives by Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, or any of their agents or representatives may have been prepared by third parties and may not be the work product of Seller and/or any of Seller’s Affiliates; (ii) neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates has made any independent investigation or verification of, or has any knowledge of, the accuracy or completeness of, the Property Information; (iii) the Property Information delivered or made available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives is furnished to each of them at the request, and for the convenience of, Purchaser; (iv) Seller expressly disclaims any representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the Property Information prepared by either Seller or any third-party vendors and Purchaser releases Seller and Seller’s Affiliates, and their agents and representatives, from any and all liability with respect thereto; and (v) any further distribution of the Property Information is subject to Section 24. Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that this paragraph does not constitute a waiver of any of Purchaser’s rights or Seller’s obligations that arise in connection with the offering memorandum covering the subject matter of and issued in connection with this Agreement.

 

(3)           This Agreement, as written, contains all the terms of the agreement entered into between the parties as of the date hereof, and Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates, nor any of their agents or representatives, nor any broker has made any representations or held out any inducements to Purchaser, and Seller hereby specifically disclaims any representation, oral or written, past, present or future, other than those specifically set forth in Sections 8 and 14 and in the Lease. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s liability with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement and the Leases shall be limited to Seller or Seller’s interest in the Properties, and Purchaser shall have no recourse against Seller’s Affiliates, or their respective directors, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, whom shall have no personal liability. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to any financing contingency or other contingencies or satisfaction of conditions except to the extent specifically set forth herein and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement or receive a return of the Deposit (or the accrued interest thereon), except as expressly provided in the Agreement.

 

(4)           Each Seller, individually and not jointly, represents and warrants to the respective Purchaser as follows:

 

1.             Seller is validity existing and in good standing under the laws of its State of incorporation and the State in which it owns any property. Seller has either (i) the company or (ii) corporate power and authority

Purchaser that a representation or warranty made herein by Seller is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, then Seller may, in its sole discretion, elect by notice to Purchaser to adjourn the Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order to cure or correct such untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representation or warranty. If any such representation or warranty is materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, and is not cured or corrected by Seller on or before the Closing Date (or the final adjourned Closing Date as provided above, if Seller elects to adjourn the Closing), then Purchaser, as its sole remedy for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect material representations or warranties, shall elect either (x) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of warranties and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, (y) if such misrepresentation is specific to a Property (as opposed to being applicable to all Properties), to delete such Property from this Agreement and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property (which includes the applicable Deposit Allocation) or (z) if such misrepresentation is not specific to a Property, to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event, this Agreement shall be terminated, the Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon, if any) shall revert to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Termination Obligations. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (x) at or prior to the Closing, Purchaser’s rights and remedies in the event any of Seller’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect shall be only as provided in this Section 8, and (y) if the Closing does not occur by virtue of such breach, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases all other rights or remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to seek damages from Seller) as a result of any of Seller’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect. If Purchaser elects to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby after receipt of notice of the breach or after its having otherwise become aware of such breach, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such misrepresentation or breach of warranty and there shall be no reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, and the Purchaser shall not use Seller’s breach as a basis for delaying or refusing to proceed to Closing.

 

(6)           In the event the Closing occurs, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity or under this Agreement to make a claim against Seller for damages that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result of any of Seller’s representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if Purchaser knew that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing and Purchaser nevertheless closes title hereunder.

 

(7)           The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall be true, accurate and correct in all material respects upon the execution of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be repeated on and as of the Closing Date. The representations and warranties (whether

 

14



 

express or implied) of Seller set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall remain operative and shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days following the Closing Date, and no action or claim based thereon shall be commenced after such period, but any claim made within such 270-day period shall survive such period until finally determined and all amounts, if and as required, are paid. If Purchaser shall have timely commenced an action with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder and a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that (A) Seller was in breach of the applicable representation or warranty as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date, (B) Purchaser suffered damages by reason of such breach, and (C) Purchaser did not have knowledge of such breach on or prior to the date of the Closing, then, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to its damages; provided that in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to receive, in connection with any and all breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller hereunder, an amount in excess of $2,000,000.00 for its damages notwithstanding that the amount of any damages suffered by Purchaser exceeds $2,000,000.00.

 

(8)           Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

 

1.             Purchaser is, and any entity or entities to whom Purchaser may assign this Agreement will be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its State of incorporation and the State in which it will own, following the Closing, the Properties. Purchaser has either (i) the company (ii) corporate and/or (iii) trust power and authority to conduct its business in all material respects as now conducted, to own or hold its assets, to own or hold the Properties, to lease the Properties and to enter into and perform its obligations under all documents to which it is or is to become a party. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where the failure to also qualify would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under all documents to which it is a party.

 

2.             Each of the documents to which Purchaser is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary (i) company, (ii) corporate or (iii) trust action, executed and delivered to Seller, and performance thereof by Purchaser will not, (1) require any approval of the members/stockholders of Purchaser or any approval or consent of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness or obligation of Purchaser, other than such consents and approvals as have been obtained, (2) contravene any applicable law binding on Purchaser or (3) contravene or result in any breach of or constitute any default under Purchaser’s organizational documents, or any indenture, judgment, order, mortgage, loan agreement, contract, partnership or joint venture agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property of Purchaser.

4.             If at or prior to the Closing, (A) Seller shall become aware (whether through its own efforts, by notice from Purchaser or otherwise) that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Purchaser are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect and shall give Purchaser notice thereof at or prior to the Closing, or (B) Purchaser shall notify Seller that a representation or warranty made herein by Purchaser is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, then Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect by notice to Seller to adjourn the Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order to cure or correct such untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representation or warranty. If any such representation or warranty is materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, and is not cured or corrected by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date (whether or not the Closing is adjourned as provided above), then Seller, as its sole remedy for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect material representations or warranties, shall elect either (x) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of warranties and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby without any adjustment of the Purchase Price, (y) if such misrepresentation is specific to a Property (as opposed to being applicable to all Properties), to delete such Property from this Agreement and to reduce the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property or (z) if such misrepresentation is not specific to a Property, to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Purchaser on the Closing Date, in which event, this Agreement shall be terminated, the Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon, if any) shall be delivered to Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller acknowledges and agrees that (a) at or prior to the Closing, Seller’s rights and remedies in the event any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect shall be only as provided in this Section 8, and (b) if the Closing does not occur by virtue of such breach, Seller hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases all other rights or remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to seek damages from Purchaser) as a result of any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect. If Seller elects to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby after receipt of notice of the breach then Seller shall be deemed to have waived such misrepresentation or breach of warranty and there shall be no adjustment in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall not use Purchaser’s breach as a basis for delaying or refusing to proceed to Closing.

 

16



 

5.             Purchaser (including for the purposes of this Section 8(8)(5), any entity that is directly or indirectly 15% or more owned by Purchaser or as to which Purchaser directly or indirectly has the right to vote 15% or more of the voting securities thereof) is not a Significant Competitor (as defined in the Lease) of Seller, and no entity that directly or indirectly has a 15% or greater interest in Purchaser is a Significant Competitor (as defined in the Lease) of Seller.

 

(9)           The representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall be true, accurate and correct in all material respects upon the execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be repeated on and as of the Closing Date. The representations and warranties (whether express or implied) of Purchaser set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall remain operative and shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, and no action or claim based thereon shall be commenced after such period.

 

(10)         Seller represents to Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, that Seller has no right, after the Closing, to re-purchase the Property, or any portion thereof, from Purchaser except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser represents to Seller, as of the date of this Agreement, that Purchaser has no right, after the Closing, to require Seller to re-purchase the Property.

Purchaser’s election notice, Seller shall elect by notice to Purchaser to repair such damage or destruction and shall thereafter complete such repair within ninety (90) days after the then scheduled Closing Date at the time of Purchaser’s election.

(2)           If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any “significant” portion (as hereinafter defined) of any of the Properties is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated) (in each case, a “Taking”), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such Taking and Purchaser shall have the option to delete such Property from this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If Purchaser does not elect to delete such Property from this Agreement, or if a Taking involves an “insignificant” portion (“insignificant” is herein deemed to be any taking which is not “significant”, as such term is herein defined) of any of the Properties, at the Closing Seller shall assign and turn over, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for such Taking. A “significant” portion of any of the Properties means a Taking of twenty percent (20%) or more of any Property or if Tenant can terminate its Lease or abate rent thereunder, or the Property cannot be legally occupied. This provision shall not survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

 

(3)           Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 16(1) and Section 16(2) to the contrary, if a Property is not deleted from this Agreement as provided in Section 16(1) or Section 16(2) and the eminent domain or condemnation proceeds payable with respect to the affected Property as a result of any Taking exceeds the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property in Section 2(1) of this Agreement, Seller’s obligation to pay over to Purchaser those proceeds paid to Seller prior to the Closing shall be limited to the allocated portion of the amount of the Purchase Price and Seller shall be entitled to retain the remainder of such proceeds. To the extent that payment of all or any portion of such proceeds does not occur prior to the Closing, the parties agree that Seller shall be entitled to that portion of the proceeds in excess of the allocated portion of the Purchase Price,

 

25



 

which agreement shall survive the Closing. To the extent that no proceeds are due to Seller in connection with Section 16(1) or 16(2) above, this Section 16(3) shall not survive the Closing.

 

(4)           If a Property is deleted from this Agreement pursuant to Section 16(1) or Section 16(2) above, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property as set forth in Section 2(1) hereof.

 

17.          REMEDIES.

 

(1)           A.                                   If the Closing fails to occur with respect to not more than two (2) of the Properties and such failure to close is on account of (i) Seller not eliminating all Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser (which failure to eliminate is due to circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control and is not due to Seller’s willful bad faith hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or proceeding or make any payments or otherwise incur any expenses in order to eliminate any Unacceptable Encumbrances other than as set forth in Section 6(2)), or, in lieu thereof, arranging for title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, such Properties, or (ii) Seller’s failure, for whatever reason (other than Seller’s willful, bad faith default beyond applicable grace and notice periods hereunder), to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then after five (5) business days written notice from Purchaser and any additional time as is necessary so as to afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to cure, Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such failure of Seller to perform, shall (x) delete such specific Property(ies) from this Agreement, (y) receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property(ies), and (z) proceed to Closing on the non-deleted Properties. In addition, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with each deleted Property, not to exceed $100,000. In the event that Seller’s failure to perform under this Agreement with respect to not more than two (2) Properties is, according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, willful and in bad faith, Purchaser will also be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to $2,000,000 per Property, not to exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate for both deleted Properties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event may Purchaser terminate this Agreement for any event of default or non-performance for which the stated remedy for Purchaser is to delete specific Property(ies) from this Agreement and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property(ies) (which includes the applicable Deposit Allocation). In the event that Seller fails, for reasons beyond Seller’s reasonable control, to close on the Canada Property under the Canada Contract, then the reference in the first and third sentences of this Section 17(1)A to “not more than two (2) Properties” shall be deemed changed to “not more than one (I) Property” and the reference in the third sentence of this Section 17(1)A to “$4,000,000” shall be deemed changed to “$2,000,000”.

 

26



 

B.                                     If the Closing fails to occur with respect to three (3) or more of the Properties and such failure to close is on account to Seller not eliminating all Unacceptable Encumbrances (which failure to eliminate is due to circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control and is not due to Seller’s willful bad faith hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or proceeding or make any payments or otherwise incur any expenses in order to eliminate any Unacceptable Encumbrances other than as set forth in Section 6(2)) not waived by Purchaser, or, in lieu thereof, arranging for title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Properties, then after five (5) business days written notice from Purchaser and any additional time as is necessary so as to afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to cure, Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such failure of Seller, may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(1)B, then upon notice to Seller, this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for those rights, obligations and liabilities which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement in the event that no Closing occurs hereunder (the “Termination Obligations”), and except that Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit. Except as set forth in this Section 17(1), Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity or otherwise by reason of Seller not eliminating all Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser, or, in lieu thereof, arranging for title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Properties. In the event Seller fails, for reasons beyond Seller’s reasonable control, to close on the Canada Property under the Canada Contract, then the reference in the first sentence of this Section 17(1)B to “three (3) or more of the Properties” shall be deemed changed to “two (2) or more of the Properties.”

 

(2)           A.                                   If the Closing fails to occur with respect of three (3) or more of the Properties and such failure to close is on account of Seller’s breach of its performance obligations under this Agreement and is in a case where such failure to close is not covered in Section 17(1)(B) above, then after five (5) business days written notice from Purchaser and any additional time as is necessary so as to afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to cure, Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such breach of Seller of its performance obligations hereunder, may elect to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller; or (ii) seek specific performance from Seller, provided that in no event shall Seller be obligated to spend more than the lesser of (A) two (2%) percent of the Allocated Purchase Prices of the affected Properties or (B) $500,000 per affected Property (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) to perform hereunder; provided further, that where Purchaser has elected to terminate the Agreement and where (and only in such instances where) Seller’s failure is willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser will be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to $2,000,000 per Property not to exceed in the aggregate with respect to all Properties, Five Million ($5,000,000) Dollars; and provided further, that where Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement and where (and only in such instances where) Seller’s failure is not willful and in

 

27



 

bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to an amount not to exceed in the aggregate with respect to all Properties, Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars. In the event Seller fails, for reasons beyond Seller’s reasonable control, to close on the Canada Property under the Canada Contract, then the reference in the first sentence of this Section 17(1)B to “three (3) or more of the Properties” shall be deemed changed to “two (2) or more of the Properties”.

 

B.                                     As a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance as the result of Seller’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser must commence such an action by filing a Complaint within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such default. Purchaser agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(2), then this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Termination Obligations and except that Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser may pursue any rights or remedies it may have against Seller with respect to the Termination Obligations subject to the express damages limits set forth in Section 17 (2)A above.

 

(3)           If the Closing fails to occur by reason of Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, then Seller as its sole remedy, may elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to Purchaser and receive the Deposit, or (ii) seek specific performance from Purchaser, and (1) where (and only in such instances where) Purchaser’s failure is willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to an amount not to exceed in the aggregate with respect to all Properties, Five Million ($5,000,000) Dollars, or (2) where Purchaser’s failure is not willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to an amount not to exceed in the aggregate with respect to all Properties, Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(3), then upon notice to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be terminated, and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Termination Obligations and except Seller shall receive the Deposit notwithstanding any damage limits or waiver to the contrary. Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict Seller’s ability to pursue any rights or remedies it may have against Purchaser with respect to the Termination Obligations subject to the express damages limits set forth in this Section 17(3).

 

(4)           TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL ASSERT AND EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

(5)           The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

18.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

19.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

20.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

21.           ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without the express written consent of Seller, which consent Seller shall have right to withhold or grant in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be entitled, upon giving prior written notice to Seller, to assign its rights under this Agreement to Purchaser’s Designees listed in Section 2(1) and/or to Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”); provided that the Purchaser’s Designees and the REIT, and any entity owned or controlled by the Purchaser’s Designees or the REIT, as well as any entity that has a 15% or greater interest in any of the Purchaser’s Designees or the REIT, is not a Significant Competitor, as defined in the Lease. The entity to whom Purchaser assigns this Agreement as permitted by this Section 21 shall become a “Purchaser” under this Agreement, but such an assignment and assumption shall not relieve Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. of the obligations of the “Purchaser” under this Agreement.

 

22.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

24.           PROPERTY INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

(1)           Purchaser agrees that, prior to the Closing, all Property Information shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, be disclosed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than evaluating the Properties. Moreover, Purchaser agrees that, prior to the Closing, the Property Information will be transmitted only to Purchaser’s Representatives who need to know the Property Information for the purpose of evaluating the Properties, and who are informed by the Purchaser of the confidential nature of the Property Information. The provisions of this Section 24(1) shall in no event apply to Property Information which is a matter of public record and shall not prevent Purchaser from complying with any law, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, provided that prior to Purchaser disclosing any Property Information as set forth in this sentence, Purchaser shall notify, and consult with, Seller regarding such disclosure. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives of the provisions of this Section 24(1).

 

(2)           Purchaser and Seller, for the benefit of each other, hereby agree that between the date hereof and the Closing Date, they will not release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, publicity (oral or written), advertising or promotional materials relating to, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. It is understood that the foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, subject to the terms of Section 24(1), with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, potential lenders or potential investors in a proposed Rule 144A offering, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto from complying with any law, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements or prevent either party from making any disclosure required to obtain any governmental consents or other third party consents that are required to be obtained prior to the Closing or that are necessary in order to pursue the subdivisions of the AESC-SLC Property and the AEPC Property, provided that prior to Purchaser releasing or otherwise disclosing any information as set forth in this sentence, Purchaser shall notify, and consult with, Seller regarding such release or disclosure. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Purchaser of the provisions of this Section 24(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may make disclosures (i) that it believes are desirable to make to its employees in explanation of this transaction and in answering questions that Seller’s employees may raise and (ii) that Seller believes are necessary to make under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the

 

31



 

filing of this Agreement as an exhibit to any filing required or otherwise necessary under such act). Further, Seller shall be entitled to issue a press release pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon (x) the signing of this Agreement and (y) the closing of transactions contemplated hereby (or any one of them); provided that Seller shall give Purchaser an opportunity to review such press release(s) before same are issued.

 

(3)           In the event this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall either (i) promptly deliver to Seller all originals and copies of the Property Information referred to in clause (i) of Section 24(4) in the possession of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives or (ii) confirm in writing that such Property Information has been destroyed, at Purchaser’s expense. In the event Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives fail to comply with the preceding sentence within ten (10) business days after this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall pay Seller $10,000 for each day after the tenth business day that Seller has not received materially all Property Information and/or the confirmation of destruction, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all losses, damages and claims arising from Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Representatives’ failure.

 

(4)           As used in this Agreement, the term “Property Information” shall mean (i) all information and documents in any way relating to the Properties, the operation thereof, the sale thereof or the leasing thereof furnished to, or otherwise made available for review by, Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, partners, brokers, agents or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers and financial advisors (collectively, “Purchaser’s Representatives”), by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates, or their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, and (ii) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives containing or based, in whole or in part, on the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Properties.

 

(5)           In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 24.

 

(6)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall continue to abide by that certain letter agreement regarding confidentiality between American Express Company and Purchaser, dated as of August 9, 2004.

 

(7)           The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing.

 

25.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(1)           This Agreement shall not be altered, amended, changed, waived, terminated or otherwise modified in any respect or particular, and no consent or approval

 

32



 

required pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party to be charged.

 

(2)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is an agreement solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser (and their permitted successors and/or assigns). No other person, party or entity shall have any rights hereunder nor shall any other person, party or entity be entitled to rely upon the terms, covenants and provisions contained herein. The provisions of this Section 25(2) shall survive the Closing.

 

(3)           All prior statements, understandings, representations and agreements between the parties, oral or written, are superseded by and merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between them in connection with this transaction and which is entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement, understanding, representation or agreement made by the other not embodied in this Agreement or in the Lease. This Agreement shall be given a fair and reasonable construction in accordance with the intentions of the parties hereto, and without regard to or aid of canons requiring construction against Seller or the party drafting this Agreement.

 

(4)           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Purchaser’s acceptance of the Deeds shall be deemed a discharge of all of the obligations of Seller hereunder and all of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall merge in the documents and agreements executed at the Closing and shall not survive the Closing.

 

(5)           Purchaser agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner, principal, parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Seller, including, without limitation, American Express Company, American Express Financial Corporation, FRC, TRS, IDS and Ontario, Inc. or any officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner or principal of any such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to look solely to the Properties for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to sue or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Seller’s Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 25(5), Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all claims and causes of action of any nature whatsoever it may now or hereafter have against Seller’s Affiliates, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges Seller’s Affiliates from any and all liability whatsoever which may now or hereafter accrue in favor of Purchaser against Seller’s Affiliates, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 25(5) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing.

 

33



 

(6)           Seller and Purchaser agree that, wherever this Agreement provides that either Seller or Purchaser must send or give any notice, make an election or take some other action within a specific time period in order to exercise a right or remedy it may have hereunder, time shall be of the essence with respect to the taking of such action, and if either Seller or Purchaser fails to take such action within the applicable time period such failure shall be deemed to be an irrevocable waiver by that Seller or Purchaser of such right or remedy.

 

(7)           No failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right or remedy given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified herein for exercise of such right or remedy has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercises thereof or any other right or remedy. No waiver by either party of any breach hereunder or failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, failure or refusal to so comply.

 

(8)           Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum thereof shall be recorded and any attempted recordation hereof shall be void and shall constitute a default.

 

(9)           Delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed an offer and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any rights or obligations hereunder unless and until both parties have signed and delivered an original of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed by facsimile immediately followed by overnight delivery.

 

(10)         Each of the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and attached hereto is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

(11)         The caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not intended to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be construed to modify, explain or alter any of the terms, covenants or conditions herein contained.

 

(12)         This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

(13)         If any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid, the same shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be severable. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (i) any provision of this Agreement is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part, (ii) the opportunity for all appeals of such determination have expired, and (iii) such unenforceability or invalidity alters the substance of this Agreement (taken as a whole) so as to deny either party, in a material way, the realization of the intended benefit of its bargain, such party may terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the final determination by notice to the other. If such party so elects to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights,

 

34



 

obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations, and except that Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit (together with all interest accrued thereon, if any) subject to Section 24(3).

 

(14)         SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER ARISING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY EITHER PARTY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT ON THE GROUNDS THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).

 

(15)         With respect to the AESC – F Property, it should be noted that Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department.

 

(16)         Intentionally Omitted.

 

(17)         Purchaser acknowledges that a default by the Seller under one or more of the Leases shall not give rise to any remedies under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right to receive back all or any portion of the Purchase Price.

 

(18)         To extent that under any Lease, Seller, as lessee (“Lessee”), incurs damages (including but not limited to fees and expenses of legal counsel) under the title representation contained in Section 20.1(1) of the Leases and Purchaser, as lessor, under the Lease (“Lessor”) would be entitled to pursue a claim with respect to such matter under the title policy received in connection with the Closing (without waiving any of its rights under such policy except for a reduction in the policy amount), Lessor shall pursue such claim under the title policy for the amount of the damages and shall remit to Lessee the amount of any such damages that has suffered, provided that (y) Lessee pays all of Lessor’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with Lessor’s pursuit of such claim and (z) Lessee first pursues such claim under any existing title policy as the former owner. To the extent that the Title Company that issues the title policies in connection with the Closing pays any such claim made by Lessor, Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor against any damages resulting from the reduction of the title coverage under the Lessor’s title policy upon the payment of such claim. The provisions of this Section 25(18) shall survive Closing.

 

(19)         The following Sections shall survive the Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement as more particularly set forth in such Section: 2(5), 3, 8, 9, 10(3), 14,

 

35



 

15, 16(3), 17, 24, 25(2), 25(5), 25(18) and 25(19) (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED Borrower, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having an address at 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (“Lender”), the Original Principal Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Note Rate (as defined below), and to be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below. The Loan Terms Table set forth above is a part of this Note and all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Loan Terms Table shall have the meaning set forth therein. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Lender and Borrower (the ‘‘Loan Agreement”).

 

Article 1 - PAYMENT TERMS; MANNER OF PAYMENT

 

(a)           Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter, except as may be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section l(b), consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on February 1, 2005 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  In addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date and continuing on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Excess Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, provided, however, the entire Debt, including all Accrued Interest (defined below), shall be due on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)           Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in

 



 

writing. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

(c)           Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)           Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

 

Article 2 - INTEREST

 

The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. The “Note Rate” shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but excluding the Optional Prepayment Date, the Initial Note Rate, and (b) from and after the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, the Revised Note Rate. The “Revised Note Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) two percent (2.00%) and (y) the greater of (i) the Initial Note Rate and (ii) the sum of the Treasury Rate plus five percent (5.00%). The “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield per annum calculated by the linear interpolation of yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 – Selected Interest Rates under the heading “US government securities” and the subheading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. In the event H.15 is no longer published, Lender in its reasonable discretion shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate.  From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest in excess of the Initial Note Rate shall accrue and be added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Revised Note Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (“Accrued Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

2



 

Article 3 - DEFAULT AND ACCELERATlON

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the tenth (10th) day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

Article 4 - PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event, of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 - PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)                                  Lockout Period.  Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period. At any time following the expiration of the Lockout Period, the principal balance of this Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)            not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur such date being a Scheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Date”);

 

3



 

(iii)          Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(iv)          Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance (as defined and calculated in accordance with Section 5(b) below); provided, however, that in the event of a voluntary prepayment made by Borrower within sixty (60) days of the Optional Prepayment Date, there shall be no prepayment premium required to be paid by Borrower.

 

(b)           Involuntary Prepayment.  In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall pay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date).

 

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)           Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan

 

4



 

Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

(d)           Open Prepayment Period.  Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note on a Scheduled Payment Date (i) in whole (but not in part) during the sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, and (ii) in whole or in part from the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, in each case, upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice.  Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(d) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.

 

(e)           Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

 

Article 6 - - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

5



 

Article 8 - LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Article 9 - NO ORAL CHANGE

 

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

substantive consolidation was delivered to Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection with the closing of the Loan, and if any Sale or Pledge permitted under this Article 7 results in any Person and its Affiliates owning in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership interests in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior to such transfer, and in addition to any other requirement for Lender consent contained herein, deliver a revised substantive non-consolidation opinion letter to Lender reflecting such Prohibited Transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

Section 7.5.    Assumption

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, following the date which is six (6) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, any Person (a “Transferee”) provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

 

(a)           no Default or Event of Default hay occurred;

 

(b)           Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such prospective transfer not less than forty-five (45) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require and (ii) paid to Lender a non-refundable processing fee in the amount of $10,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans secured by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record of Transferee and its principals in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the financial strength of Transferee and its principals, the general business standing of Transferee and its principals and Transferee’s and its principals’ relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;

 

(c)           Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such transfer, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, inclined by Lender in connection with the transfer;

 

(d)           (i) Transferee shall have assumed and agreed to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall have executed, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and (ii) if required by Lender, a Person affiliated with Transferee and acceptable to Lender shall have

 

37



 

assumed the obligations of Borrower Principal under the Loan Documents with respect to all acts and events occurring or arising after the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5;

 

(c)           Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)           Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof.

 

(h)           Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

 

(i)            Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

 

(j)            if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;

 

(k)           Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and

 

38



 

(l)            Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property. Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.

 

Section 7.6.    Assumption by Inland Permitted Transferee

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, Borrower shall be permitted to transfer the Property in its entirety to, provided the Loan is simultaneously assumed by, an Inland Permitted Transferee, and provided further that each of the following terms and conditions is satisfied:

 

(a)          no Default or Event of Default has occurred;

 

(b)          Borrower shall have delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such prospective transfer not less than forty-five (45) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require;

 

(c)          Borrower shall have paid to Lender all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;

 

(d)          such Inland Permitted Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, such Inland Permitted Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;

 

(e)          Borrower and such Inland Permitted Transferee, without, any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)          Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in such Inland Permitted Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard

 

39



 

insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)          such Inland Permitted Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, provided, however, that, (i) if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a limited partnership or a limited liability company (with more than one member), Lender may require that the general partner or managing member of such Inland Permitted Transferee also comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6, as modified to state that such general partner or managing member holds an interest in the Inland Permitted Transferee rather than an interest in the Property or (ii) if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a single member limited liability company, the state of organization of such entity must be Delaware and the organizational documents must provide for a springing member upon the bankruptcy or dissolution of the sole member;

 

(h)          such Inland Permitted Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

 

(i)            Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents; are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request, including, without limitation, customary single member limited liability company opinions in the event that such Inland Permitted Transferee is a Delaware limited liability company; and

 

(j)            in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was required in connection with the closing of the Loan, Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

 

Section 8.1.    Insurance

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 8.1, Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause American Express to maintain, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

 

(i)             comprehensive “special causes of loss” form of insurance (or its equivalent) on the Improvements and the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Properly or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the special causes of loss form required under this subsection (i);

 

(ii)             commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, with such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards; (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 12 and Article 14 hereof to the extent the same is available;

 

41



 

(iii)            if the rating of American Express issued by the Rating Agencies falls below the Trigger Rating, loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable, will be insured until such rents or income, as applicable, either returns to the same level that existed prior to the loss or the expiration of twelve (12) months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;

 

(iv)            at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against “special causes of loss” insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

 

(v)             workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);

 

(vi)            comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

 

(vii)           excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above; and

 

42



 

(viii)       upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

With respect to the policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

 

(b)          All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (or such other ratings approved by Lender) and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

 

(c)           Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a).

 

(d)          All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)           All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)            no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in

 

43



 

any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)           the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)          the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)          Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)            If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.2.    Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.    Condemnation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.

 

44



 

Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.    Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)           If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)           If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)             The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)          no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

 

45



 

(B)           (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds arc Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)           The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)           Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)           Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)           Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)           the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

(H)          the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)            such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)           Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)          the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

46



 

(ii)            The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)          All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)         In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to

 

47



 

Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)           Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)          If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)         The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)            All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

(d)          In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be used for restoration of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the American Express Lease.

REPLACEMENTS; RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.    Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property.  So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations For maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

Section 9.2.    Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim

thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.    Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)           No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

(b)          Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

(c)           The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)          Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)           As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement.  All such disbursements shall be

 

50



 

deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)            The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

(g)           Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

(h)           Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.  Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)           Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)            Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”). Upon the occurrence of

 

52



 

an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

 

(ii)                                  On the occurrence of an Event of Default or the commencement of the Cash Management Period Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

 

(iii)                               All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)                              Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)                                 So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

 

(b)                                 Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)                                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or during a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

 

(i)                                     following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease, funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve

Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.2;

 

(ii)                                  funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

 

(iii)                               funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

 

(iv)                              funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually incurred) for the following month shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed to pay Operating Expenses;

 

(v)                                 funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in the Cash Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender to be applied to the principal amount of the Loan until the principal amount of the Loan is paid in full.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer.  If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (v) above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document).

 

(e)                                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers between any Reserve Account as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.3   Security Interest

 

(a)                                  To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security

 

54



 

interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

 

(b)                                 Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account.  Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use the Accounts and the Account Collateral for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default.  Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien.  Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED Borrower, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having an address at 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (“Lender”), the Original Principal Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Note Rate (as defined below), and to be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below. The Loan Terms Table set forth above is a part of this Note and all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Loan Terms Table shall have the meaning set forth therein. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Lender and Borrower (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Article 1 - PAYMENT TERMS; MANNER OF PAYMENT

 

(a)           Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter, except as may be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section 1(b), consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on February 1, 2005 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date and continuing on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Excess Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, provided, however, the entire Debt, including all Accrued Interest (defined below), shall be due on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)           Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in

 



 

writing. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

(c)           Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)           Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

 

Article 2 - INTEREST

 

The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. The “Note Rate” shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but excluding the Optional Prepayment Date, the Initial Note Rate, and (b) from and after the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, the Revised Note Rate. The “Revised Note Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) two percent (2.00%) and (y) the greater of (i) the Initial Note Rate and (ii) the sum of the Treasury Rate plus five percent (5.00%). The “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield per annum calculated by the linear interpolation of yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.I5 – Selected Interest Rates under the heading “US government securities” and the subheading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. In the event H.15 is no longer published, Lender in its reasonable discretion shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate. From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest in excess of the Initial Note Rate shall accrue and be added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Revised Note Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (“Accrued Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. Except as otherwise set forth herein, or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

2



 

Article 3 - DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the tenth (10th) day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

Article 4 - PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security instrument. This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 - PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)           Lockout Period. Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period. At any time following the expiration of the Lockout Period, the principal balance of this Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)           not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur such date being a Scheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Date”);

 

3



 

(iii)           Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(iv)          Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance (as defined and calculated in accordance with Section 5(b) below); provided, however, that in the event of a voluntary prepayment made by Borrower within sixty (60) days of the Optional Prepayment Date, there shall be no prepayment premium required to be paid by Borrower.

 

(b)           Involuntary Prepayment. In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall pay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date).

 

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.I5-Selecled Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal, to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)           Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan

 

4



 

Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

(d)           Open Prepayment Period.  Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note on a Scheduled Payment Date (i) in whole (but not in part) during the sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, and (ii) in whole or in part from the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, in each case, upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(d) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.

 

(e)           Limitation on Partial Prepayments.  In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

 

Article 6 - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.  All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

5



 

Article 8 - - LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Article 9 - NO ORAL CHANGE

36



 

Transferee’s and its principals’ relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)           Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;

 

(h)           Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management, agreement;

(j)            if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;

 

(k)           Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and

 

(l)            Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.  Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.

(c)           Borrower shall have paid to Lender all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;

 

38



 

(d)           such Inland Permitted Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, such Inland Permitted Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;

 

(e)           Borrower and such Inland Permitted Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in such Inland Permitted Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

(h)           such Inland Permitted Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

 

(i)            Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.

(viii)        upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

With respect to the policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

 

(b)           All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (or such other ratings approved by Lender) and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies.  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

 

(c)           Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a).

 

42



 

(d)           All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)           All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)            no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)           the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)          the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)          Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)            if at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.2.     Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with

 

43



 

Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.  Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.     Condemnation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.     Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)           If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)           If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds

 

44



 

available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)            The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)          no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(B)           (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)           The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)          Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)           Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in

Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)           Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)           the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

45



 

(H)          the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)            such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)            Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)          the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii)           The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)          All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

46



 

(iv)          In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)           Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)          If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration.  Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement, of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

47



 

(vii)         The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

 

(d)           In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be used for restoration of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the American Express Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9
REPLACEMENTS; RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.     Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property. So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations for maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

Section 9.2.     Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit, into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will

 

48



 

become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.     Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)           No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

(b)           Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

49



 

(c)           The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)           Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)           As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement.  All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)            The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit, for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

(g)           Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

50



 

(h)           Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

(b)           The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10. Lender shall have no liability for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

 

(d)           Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Cash Management Account.

 

(e)           Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect

hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.     Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)           Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)            Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

 

(ii)           On the occurrence of an Event of Default or the commencement of the Cash Management Period Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

 

(iii)          All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)          Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)           So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

 

52



 

(b)           Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or during a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

 

(i)            following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease, funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.2;

 

(ii)           funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

 

(iii)          funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

 

(iv)          funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually incurred) for the following month shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed to pay Operating Expenses;

Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto.

Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereundcr.

Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan

(c)            Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)           Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

 

Article 2 - INTEREST

 

The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. The “Note Rate” shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but excluding the Optional Prepayment Date, the Initial Note Rate, and (b) from and after the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, the Revised Note Rate. The “Revised Note Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) two percent (2.00%) and (y) the greater of (i) the Initial Note Rate and (ii) the sum of the Treasury Rate plus five percent (5.00%). The “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield per annum calculated by the linear interpolation of yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 – Selected Interest Rates under the heading “US government securities” and the subheading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. In the event H.15 is no longer published, Lender in its reasonable discretion shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate. From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest in excess of the Initial Note Rate shall accrue and be added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Revised Note Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (“Accrued Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

2



 

Article 3 - DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the tenth (10th) day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

Article 4 - PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 - PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)            Lockout Period. Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period. At any time following the expiration of the Lockout Period, the principal balance of this Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)           not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur such date being a Scheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Date”);

 

3



 

(iii)          Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(iv)          Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance (as defined and calculated in accordance with Section 5(b) below); provided, however, that in the event of a voluntary prepayment made by Borrower within sixty (60) days of the Optional Prepayment Date, there shall be no prepayment premium required to be paid by Borrower.

 

(b)            Involuntary Prepayment. In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall pay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date).

 

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)            Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan

 

4



 

Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

(d)            Open Prepayment Period. Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note on a Scheduled Payment Date (i) in whole (but not in part) during the sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, and (ii) in whole or in part from the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, in each case, upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(d) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.

 

(e)            Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

 

Article 6 - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

5



 

Article 8 - LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Article 9 - NO ORAL CHANGE

 

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

(c)           Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such transfer, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;

 

(d)           (i) Transferee shall have assumed and agreed to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall have executed, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and (ii) if required by Lender, a Person affiliated with Transferee and acceptable to Lender shall have

 

37



 

assumed the obligations of Borrower Principal under the Loan Documents with respect to all acts and events occurring or arising after the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5;

 

(e)           Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)           Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;

 

(h)           Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

 

(i)            Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

 

(j)            if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;

 

(k)           Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and

 

38



 

(1)           Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property. Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.

 

Section 7.6.           Assumption by Inland Permitted Transferee

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, Borrower shall be permitted to transfer the Property in its entirety to, provided the Loan is simultaneously assumed by, an Inland Permitted Transferee, and provided further that each of the following terms and conditions is satisfied:

 

(a)           no Default or Event of Default has occurred;

 

(b)           Borrower shall have delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such prospective transfer not less than forty-five (45) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require;

 

(c)           Borrower shall have paid to Lender all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;

 

(d)           such Inland Permitted Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, such Inland Permitted Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;

 

(e)           Borrower and such Inland Permitted Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in such Inland Permitted Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard

 

39



 

insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)           such Inland Permitted Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, provided, however, that, (i) if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a limited partnership or a limited liability company (with more than one member), Lender may require that the general partner or managing member of such Inland Permitted Transferee also comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6, as modified to state that such general partner or managing member holds an interest in the Inland Permitted Transferee rather than an interest in the Property or (ii) if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a single member limited liability company, the state of organization of such entity must be Delaware and the organizational documents must provide for a springing member upon the bankruptcy or dissolution of the sole member;

 

(h)           such Inland Permitted Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

 

(i)            Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request, including, without limitation, customary single member limited liability company opinions in the event that such Inland Permitted Transferee is a Delaware limited liability company; and

 

(j)            in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was required in connection with the closing of the Loan, Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

 

Section 8.1.           Insurance

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 8.1, Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause American Express to maintain, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

 

(i)            comprehensive “special causes of loss” form of insurance (or its equivalent) on the Improvements and the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the special causes of loss form required under this subsection (i);

 

(ii)           commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, with such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 12 and Article 14 hereof to the extent the same is available;

 

41



 

(iii)          if the rating of American Express issued by the Rating Agencies falls below the Trigger Rating, loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable, will be insured until such rents or income, as applicable, either returns to the same level that existed prior to the loss or the expiration of twelve (12) months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;

 

(iv)          at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against “special causes of loss” insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

 

(v)           workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);

 

(vi)          comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

 

(vii)         excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above; and

 

42



 

(viii)        upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

With respect to the policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

 

(b)           All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (or such other ratings approved by Lender) and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

 

(c)           Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a).

 

(d)           All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)           All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)            no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in

 

43



 

any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)           the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)          the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)          Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)            If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.2.           Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.           Condemnation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.

 

44



 

Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.           Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)           If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)           If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)            The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)          no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

45



 

(B)           (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)           The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)          Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)           Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)           Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)           the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

(H)                               the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)                                    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)                                   Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)                               the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

46



 

(ii)           The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)          All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)          In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to

 

47



 

Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)           Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)          If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)         The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

ARTICLE 9

REPLACEMENTS; RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.           Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property. So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations for maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

Section 9.2.           Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim

 

49



 

thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.           Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)           No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

(b)           Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

(c)           The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)           Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)           As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be

 

50



 

deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)            The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

(g)           Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

(h)           Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

CASH MANAGEMENT

 

Section 10.1.        Cash Management Account

 

(a)           Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Borrower has established, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit or cause to be deposited all Rents and other revenue from the Property during the Cash Management Period or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to the commencement of the Cash Management Period pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 hereof (such account, the sub-accounts thereof, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such account or funds therein, are referred to herein as the “Cash Management Account”).

 

(b)           The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10. Lender shall have no liability for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

 

(d)           Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Cash Management Account.

 

(e)           Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.        Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)           Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)            Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”). Upon the occurrence of

 

52



 

an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

 

(ii)           On the occurrence of an Event of Default or the commencement of the Cash Management Period Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

 

(iii)          All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)          Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)           So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

 

(b)           Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or during a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

 

(i)            following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease, funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve

 

53



 

Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.2;

 

(ii)           funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

 

(iii)          funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

 

(iv)          funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually incurred) for the following month shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed to pay Operating Expenses;

 

(v)           funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in the Cash Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender to be applied to the principal amount of the Loan until the principal amount of the Loan is paid in full.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (v) above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document).

 

(e)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers between any Reserve Account as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.3.        Security Interest

 

(a)           To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security

 

54



 

interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

 

(b)           Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use the Accounts and the Account Collateral for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

Section 18.2.        Modification, Waiver in Writing

 

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

Section 18.4.        Trial by Jury

 

BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH

 

69



 

REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

Section 18.5.        Waiver of Notice

 

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

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED Borrower, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having an address at 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (“Lender”), the Original Principal Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Note Rate (as defined below), and to be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below. The Loan Terms Table set forth above is a part of this Note and all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Loan Terms Table shall have the meaning set forth therein. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Lender and Borrower (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Article 1 – PAYMENT TERMS; MANNER OF PAYMENT

 

(a)           Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter, except as may be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section l(b), consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on February 1, 2005 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date and continuing on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Excess Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, provided, however, the entire Debt, including all Accrued Interest (defined below), shall be due on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)           Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a

 



 

Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

(c)           Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)           Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject, to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

 

Article 2 - INTEREST

 

The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. The “Note Rate” shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but excluding the Optional Prepayment Date, the Initial Note Rate, and (b) from and after the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, the Revised Note Rate. The “Revised Note Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) two percent (2.00%) and (y) the greater of (i) the Initial Note Rate and (ii) the sum of the Treasury Rate plus five percent (5.00%). The “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield per annum calculated by the linear interpolation of yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 – Selected Interest Rates under the heading “US government securities” and the subheading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. In the event H.15 is no longer published, Lender in its reasonable discretion shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate. From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest in excess of the Initial Note Rate shall accrue and be added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Revised Note Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (“Accrued Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

2



 

Article 3 - DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the tenth (10th) day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

Article 4 - PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 - PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)           Lockout Period. Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period. At any time following the expiration of the Lockout Period, the principal balance of this Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)           not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur such date being a Scheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Date”);

 

3



 

(iii)          Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(iv)          Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance (as defined and calculated in accordance with Section 5(b) below); provided, however, that in the event of a voluntary prepayment made by Borrower within sixty (60) days of the Optional Prepayment Date, there shall be no prepayment premium required to be paid by Borrower.

 

(b)           Involuntary Prepayment. In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall pay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date).

 

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) moat nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The ‘‘Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)           Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest.    Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan

 

4



 

Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

(d)           Open Prepayment Period.  Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note on a Scheduled Payment Date (i) in whole (but not in part) during the sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, and (ii) in whole or in part from the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, in each case, upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice.  Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(d) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.

 

(e)           Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

 

Article 6 - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

5



 

Article 8 - LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Article 9 - NO ORAL CHANGE

 

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)           Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee.  Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof;

(j)            if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the Securities;

 

(k)           Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and

 

(1)           Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property. Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.

(c)           Borrower and such Inland Permitted Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)            Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in such Inland Permitted Transferee  (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

(h)           such Inland Permitted Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

 

(i)            Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member

(i)            comprehensive “special causes of loss” form of insurance (or its equivalent) on the Improvements and the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement.

The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;

With respect to the policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

 

(b)           All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (or such other ratings approved by Lender) and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M.

(c)           Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1 (a).

 

42



 

(d)           All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.l(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)           All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)            no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)           the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)          the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)          Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)            If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.2.  Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with

 

43



 

Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.  Condemnation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.  So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.  Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)           If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)           If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds

 

44



 

available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)            The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)          no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(B)           (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)           The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)          Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)           Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)           Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)           the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

45



 

(H)          the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)            such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)            Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)          the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii)           The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)          All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

46



 

(iv)          In no event shall Lender he obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)           Lender shall not he obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)          If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

47



 

(vii)         The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

 

(d)           In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be used for restoration of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the American Express Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9
REPLACEMENTS; RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.  Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property. So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations for maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

Section 9.2.  Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will

 

48



 

become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.l(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”), Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.  Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)           No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts.  If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

(b)           Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt.  Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.  The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

49



 

(c)           The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)           Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal formal of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)           As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)            The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

(g)           Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

50



 

(h)           Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

CASH MANAGEMENT

 

Section 10.1.  Cash Management Account

 

(a)           Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Borrower has established, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit or cause to be deposited all Rents and other revenue from the Property during the Cash Management Period or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to the commencement of the Cash Management Period pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 hereof (such account, the sub-accounts thereof, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such account or funds therein, are referred to herein as the “Cash Management Account”).

 

(b)           The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), Sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not he invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10.  Lender shall have no liability for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

 

(d)           Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Cash Management Account.

 

(e)           Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof.  Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect

 

51



 

hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.  Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)           Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)            Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”).  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

 

(ii)           On the occurrence of an Event of Default or the commencement of the Cash Management Period Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

 

(iii)          All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)          Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)           So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

 

52



 

(b)           Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or during a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

 

(i)            following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease, funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.2;

 

(ii)           funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

 

(iii)          funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

 

(iv)          funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually incurred) for the following month shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed to pay Operating Expenses;

 

(v)           funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in the Cash Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender to be applied to the principal amount of the Loan until the principal amount of the Loan is paid in full.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer.  If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (v) above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document).

 

(e)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers between any Reserve Account as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and

 

53



 

apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.3.  Security Interest

 

(a)           To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral.  Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto.  Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

 

(b)           Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account.  Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral.  Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use the Accounts and the Account Collateral for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default.  Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien.  Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority.

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

 

Section 18.2.  Modification, Waiver in Writing

 

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other

 

68



 

Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

Section 18.4.  Trial by Jury

 

BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED Borrower, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having an address at 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (“Lender”), the Original Principal Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Note Rate (as defined below), and to be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below.  The Loan Terms Table set forth above is a part of this Note and all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Loan Terms Table shall have the meaning set forth therein.  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Lender and Borrower (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Article 1 – PAYMENT TERMS; MANNER OF PAYMENT

 

(a)           Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter, except as may be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section 1(b), consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on February 1, 2005 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  In addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date and continuing on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Excess Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, provided, however, the entire Debt, including all Accrued Interest (defined below), shall be due on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)           Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O.  Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in

 



 

writing.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date.  All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

(c)           Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full.  All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)           Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

 

Article 2 - INTEREST

 

The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate.  The “Note Rate” shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but excluding the Optional Prepayment Date, the Initial Note Rate, and (b) from and after the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, the Revised Note Rate.  The “Revised Note Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) two percent (2.00%) and (y) the greater of (i) the Initial Note Rate and (ii) the sum of the Treasury Rate plus five percent (5.00%).  The “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield per annum calculated by the linear interpolation of yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 – Selected Interest Rates under the heading “US government securities” and the subheading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, of U.S.  Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date.  In the event H.15 is no longer published, Lender in its reasonable discretion shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate.  From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest in excess of the Initial Note Rate shall accrue and be added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Revised Note Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (“Accrued Interest”).  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each.  Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

2



 

Article 3 - DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the tenth (10th) day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

Article 4 - PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”).  Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument.  This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 - PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)           Lockout Period.  Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period.  At any time following the expiration of the Lockout Period, the principal balance of this Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)           not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur such date being a Scheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Date”);

 

3



 

(iii)          Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(iv)          Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance (as defined and calculated in accordance with Section 5(b) below); provided, however, that in the event of a voluntary prepayment made by Borrower within sixty (60) days of the Optional Prepayment Date, there shall be no prepayment premium required to be paid by Borrower.

 

(b)          Involuntary Prepayment.  In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall pay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date).

 

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield.  As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S.  Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield.  In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield.  The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)          Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan

 

4



 

Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

(d)          Open Prepayment Period.  Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note on a Scheduled Payment Date (i) in whole (but not in part) during the sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, and (ii) in whole or in part from the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, in each case, upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice.  Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(d) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued or this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.

 

(e)          Limitation on Partial Prepayments.  In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

 

Article 6 - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.  All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”).  If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Article 8 - LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(g)                               Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Transferee.

38



 

(l)                                   Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property. Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.

 

Section 7.6.                                Assumption by Inland Permitted Transferee

(a)                                    no Default or Event of Default has occurred;

 

(b)                                   Borrower shall have delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such prospective transfer not less than forty-five (45) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require;

(d)                                   such Inland Permitted Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, such Inland Permitted Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require, shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;

 

(e)                                    Borrower and such Inland Permitted Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)                                      Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in such Inland Permitted Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard

Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, provided, however, that, (i) if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a limited partnership or a limited liability company (with more than one member), Lender may require that the general partner or managing member of such Inland Permitted Transferee also comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6, as modified to state that such general partner or managing member holds an interest in the Inland Permitted Transferee rather than an interest in the Property or (ii) if such Inland Permitted Transferee is a single member limited liability company, the state of organization of such entity must be Delaware and the organizational documents must provide for a springing member upon the bankruptcy or dissolution of the sole member;

 

(h)                                 such Inland Permitted Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.

Section 8.1.                                Insurance

 

(a)                                  Subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 8.1, Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause American Express to maintain, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

 

(i)                                     comprehensive “special causes of loss” form of insurance (or its equivalent) on the Improvements and the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the special causes of loss form required under this subsection (i);

 

(ii)                                  commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, with such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 12 and Article 14 hereof to the extent the same is available;

 

41



 

(iii)                               if the rating of American Express issued by the Rating Agencies falls below the Trigger Rating, loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable, will be insured until such rents or income, as applicable, either returns to the same level that existed prior to the loss or the expiration of twelve (12) months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;

 

(iv)                              at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against “special causes of loss” insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

 

(v)                                 workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);

 

(vi)                              comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

 

(vii)                           excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above; and

 

42



 

(viii)                        upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

With respect to the policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

 

(b)                                  All insurance provided for in Section 8.1 (a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (or such other ratings approved by Lender) and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1 (a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

 

(c)                                   Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a).

 

(d)                                  All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1 (a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)                                   All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)                                     no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in

 

43



 

any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)                                  the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)                               the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)                              Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)                                   If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)                                Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.2.                                Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.                                Condemnation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.

 

44



 

Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.                                Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)                                 If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)                                     The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)                              no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

45



 

(B)                                (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)                                The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)                               Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8. l(a)(iii);

 

(G)                                the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

(H)                               the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)                                    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)                                   Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)                               the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

46



 

(ii)                                  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)                               All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)                              In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to

 

47



 

Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)                                 Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)                              If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)                           The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.                                Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property. So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations for maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

Section 9.2.                                Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.l(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim

thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.                                Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)                                  No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

(b)                                 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

(c)                                  The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)                                       As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be

 

50



 

deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)                                      The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

(g)                                   Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

(h)                                 Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

(b)                                  The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10.

(c)                                   The Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

 

(d)                                  Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Cash Management Account.

 

(e)                                   Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.                         Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)                                  Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)                                     Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”). Upon the occurrence of

 

52



 

an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

 

(ii)           On the occurrence of an Event of Default or the commencement of the Cash Management Period Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

 

(iii)          All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)          Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)           So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

 

(b)          Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)           If an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing or during a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

 

(i)            following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease, funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve

 

53



 

Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.2;

 

(ii)           funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

 

(iii)          funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

 

(iv)          funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually incurred) for the following month shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed to pay Operating Expenses;

 

(v)           funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in the Cash Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender to be applied to the principal amount of the Loan until the principal amount of the Loan is paid in lull.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (v) above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document).

 

(e)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers between any Reserve Account as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.3.        Security Interest

 

(a)           To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security

 

54



 

interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

 

(b)           Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)            Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use the Accounts and the Account Collateral for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED Borrower, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, IL 60523, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, having an address at 214 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255 (“Lender”), the Original Principal Amount, in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Note Rate (as defined below), and to be paid in accordance with the terms set forth below. The Loan Terms Table set forth above is a part of this Note and all terms used in this Note which are defined in the Loan Terms Table shall have the meaning set forth therein. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Lender and Borrower (the “Loan Agreement”).

 

Article 1 – PAYMENT TERMS; MANNER OF PAYMENT

 

(a)                                  Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter, except as may be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section l(b), consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on February 1, 2005 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date and continuing on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Excess Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, provided, however, the entire Debt, including all Accrued Interest (defined below), shall be due on the Maturity Date.

 



 

(b)                                  Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

(c)                                   Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)                                  Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

 

Article 2 - INTEREST

 

The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. The “Note Rate” shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but excluding the Optional Prepayment Date, the Initial Note Rate, and (b) from and after the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, the Revised Note Rate. The “Revised Note Rate” shall mean a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) two percent (2.00%) and (y) the greater of (i) the Initial Note Rate and (ii) the sum of the Treasury Rate plus five percent (5.00%). The “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield per annum calculated by the linear interpolation of yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.I5 – Selected Interest Rates under the heading “US government securities” and the subheading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. In the event H.15 is no longer published, Lender in its reasonable discretion shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate. From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest in excess of the Initial Note Rate shall accrue and be added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Revised Note Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (“Accrued Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of

 

2



 

twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

Article 3 - DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid prior to the tenth (10th) day following the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

Article 4 - PAYMENTS AFTER DEFAULT

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 - PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)                                  Lockout Period. Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan, or any other amount under this Note or the other Loan Documents, at any time during the Lockout Period. At any time following the expiration of the Lockout Period, the principal balance of this Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)                                     no Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)                                  not less than sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written, notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur such date being a Scheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Date”);

 

3



 

(iii)                               Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the other Loan Documents; and

 

(iv)                              Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance (as defined and calculated in accordance with Section 5(b) below); provided, however, that in the event of a voluntary prepayment made by Borrower within sixty (60) days of the Optional Prepayment Date, there shall be no prepayment premium required to be paid by Borrower.

 

(b)                                 Involuntary Prepayment. In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any other amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Security Instrument is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall pay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date).

 

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of the Loan through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.I5 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)                                  Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Awards pursuant to the terms of the Loan

 

4



 

Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

(d)                                 Open Prepayment Period. Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) this Note on a Scheduled Payment Date (i) in whole (but not in part) during the sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, and (ii) in whole or in part from the Optional Prepayment Date through and including the date this Note is paid in full, in each case, upon giving Lender at least sixty (60) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section 5(d) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that, in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of this Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued on this Note if such prepayment occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.

 

(e)                                  Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to accept a partial prepayment.

 

Article 6 - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum non-serious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”), If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

5



 

Article 8 - LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower.

 

Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of Borrower in Borrower.

(b)                                 All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (or such other ratings approved by Lender) and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

 

(c)                                  Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a).

 

(d)                                 All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)                                  All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)                                     no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in

 

43



 

any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)                                  the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)                               the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)                              Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)                                    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.2.                  Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.                  Condemnation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.

 

44



 

Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.                  Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)                                  If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration, shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)                                     The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)                              no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

45



 

(B)                                (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)                                The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)                               Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)                                the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

(H)                               the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)                                    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)                                   Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)                               the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

46



 

(ii)                                  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)                               All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)                              In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to

 

47



 

Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)                                 Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)                              If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)                           The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

 

48



 

(d)                                 In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be used for restoration of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the American Express Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9
REPLACEMENTS; RESERVE
FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.                  Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property. So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations for maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

Section 9.2.                  Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim

 

49



 

thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.                  Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)                                  No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

(b)                                 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

(c)                                  The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)                                  As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be

 

50



 

deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)                                    The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

(g)                                 Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

(h)                                 Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

Section 10.1.           Cash Management Account

 

(a)                                  Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Borrower has established, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit or cause to be deposited all Rents and other revenue from the Property during the Cash Management Period or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default prior to the commencement of the Cash Management Period pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 hereof (such account, the sub-accounts thereof, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such account or funds therein, are referred to herein as the “Cash Management Account”).

 

(b)                                 The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10. Lender shall have no liability for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  The Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

 

(d)                                 Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Cash Management Account.

Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.           Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)                                  Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)                                     Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”). Upon the occurrence of

 

52



 

an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

 

(ii)           On the occurrence of an Event of Default or the commencement of the Cash Management Period Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

 

(iii)          All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)          Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)           So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Mortgage, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower (except with respect to costs incurred by Lender, for which Lender shall be responsible), do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, control agreements, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording the Mortgage, or for complying with all Legal Requirements.

(a)           If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred eighty (80) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

 

67



 

(b)           Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Mortgage or the Debt.

ARTICLE 18
WAIVERS

 

Section 18.1.    Remedies Cumulative; Waivers

 

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

 

Section 18.2.    Modification, Waiver in Writing

 

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 18.3.    Delay Not a Waiver

 

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

Section 18.4.    Trial by Jury

 

BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH

 

69



 

REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER.

 

Section 18.5.    Waiver of Notice

 

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

 

Section 18.6.    Remedies of Borrower

 

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

 

Section 18.7.    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

70



 

Section 18.8.    Waiver of Statute of Limitations

 

Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its Other Obligations.

 

Section 18.9.    Waiver of Counterclaim

 

Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

ARTICLE 20

This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

 

Section 20.2.    Lender’s Discretion

 

Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

 

Section 20.3.    Headings

 

The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

 

Section 20.4.    Cost of Enforcement

 

In the event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part, (b) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower or any of its constituent Persons or an assignment by Borrower or any of its constituent Persons for the benefit of its creditors, or (c) Lender exercises any of its other remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.

 

Section 20.5.    Schedules Incorporated

 

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

 

Section 20.6.    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses

72



 

any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

Section 20.7.    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries

 

(a)           Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)           This Agreement and the other Loan Documents arc solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

(c)           The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.  Borrower is not relying on Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.

 

(e)           By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.

 

(f)            Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to

 

73



 

the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement.

 

Section 20.8.    Publicity

 

All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, Lender, Banc of America Securities LLC, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender shall be permitted to make any news, releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, Borrower Principal and their respective Affiliates without the approval of Borrower or any such Persons. Borrower also agrees that Lender may share any information pertaining to the Loan with Banc of America Corporation, including its bank subsidiaries, Bane of America Securities LLC and any other Affiliates of the foregoing, in connection with the sale or transfer of the Loan or any Participations and/or Securities created.

 

Section 20.9.    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance

 

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

 

Section 20.10. Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender arc superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 2.4(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing for a period of one year.

17



 

(a)                                  Master Lease Escrow. $1,051,926.00 (“Master Lease Escrow”) of the Escrow Funds shall be escrowed on account of leases expiring on or before October 31, 2005, in the amounts and for the locations set forth on Exhibit F-l hereto (the “Expiring Leases”). Sellers, through the Manager (defined below), shall have the continuing right until October 31, 2006 to renew Expiring Leases or to replace each tenant to the Expiring Leases for a new lease term of not less than one (1) year, and to receive from the Master Lease Escrow an amount equal to the value assigned to each such Expiring Lease location. Tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions and, on a monthly basis, up to but not in excess of the first twelve (12) months of base rent and expense reimbursements following termination of lease which is not renewed, and other costs incurred by Sellers and/or the Manager in renewing or reletting each such Expiring Lease location shall be the sole cost and expense of Sellers. Following the termination of any Expiring Lease or the renewal of any Expiring Lease upon financial terms less advantageous than the Expiring Lease, Purchaser shall be entitled to withdraw on a monthly basis (for a period of time not to exceed twelve (12) months with respect to each such Expiring Lease) from the Master Lease Escrow an amount equal to (x) the amount of the base rent and expense reimbursements with respect to any Expiring Lease not renewed and (y) the amount (if any) by which the base rent and expense reimbursements for any Expiring Lease exceed the same for any renewal thereof. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with originals of any amendments of Leases or new Leases negotiated by Sellers, which shall be executed by Purchaser provided that such amendments or new Leases are on the minimum terms set forth on Exhibit F-l.

 

Sellers shall be entitled to receive the balance of the Master Lease Escrow applicable to any Expiring Lease upon the occurrence of a leasing event (the “Leasing Event”) with respect to such Expiring Lease (net of funds drawn to pay lease costs as described above) remaining in the Master Lease Escrow on a lease by lease basis. For the purposes hereof, a Leasing Event shall have occurred when (1) the existing tenant shall have renewed its lease or otherwise extended its total occupancy on the minimum terms and conditions set forth herein and in Exhibit F-l; (2) if the existing tenant has vacated, then Sellers shall have entered into a binding lease with a replacement tenant on the minimum terms and conditions set forth herein and in Exhibit F-l, which tenant shall have (3) taken occupancy of the total premises and accepted the premises as delivered by Sellers (and Sellers shall have completed any punchlist items remaining to be completed); (4) tenant is in occupancy and open for business; (5) tenant has made the first payment of rent due under the lease; and (6) a Certificate of Occupancy shall have been issued.

 

(b)                                 Vacancy Escrow. $251,195.00 (“Vacancy Escrow”) of the Escrow Funds shall be escrowed on account of vacant space, in the amounts and for the locations set forth on Exhibit F-2 hereto (the “Vacant Space”). Sellers, through the Manager (defined below), shall have the continuing right until October 31, 2006 to lease each Vacant Space on the minimum terms set forth on Exhibit F-2, and to receive from the Vacancy Escrow an amount equal to the value assigned to each lease of such Vacant Space location pursuant to the formula set forth below. Tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions and other costs incurred by Sellers and/or the Manager in renewing or reletting each such Vacant Space location shall be the sole cost and expense of Sellers. Upon the execution of a lease with respect to any Vacant Space, Sellers shall have the right to draw on funds

 

18



 

deposited in the Vacancy Escrow for tenant improvements and commissions in connection with the lease-up of such space in amounts not to exceed $15.00 per square foot for tenant improvements and $3.00 per square foot for leasing commissions with respect to Vacant Space never leased before, and not to exceed $5.00 per square foot for tenant improvements and $3.00 per square foot for space previously leased; provided further, that with regards to vacant space that is never leased, the balance of funds remaining for tenant improvements and commissions shall remain with Purchaser. The foregoing amounts represent the limits on the amounts by which Sellers may draw on funds deposited in the Vacancy Escrow but Sellers shall have the right (but Sellers shall not have an obligation) to expend amounts in excess of such amounts. Sellers shall provide Purchaser with originals of any new Leases negotiated by Sellers, which shall be executed by Purchaser provided that such Leases are on the minimum terms set forth on Exhibit F-2 and on a lease form previously approved by Purchaser.

 

If at 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time on April 30, 2006 (the “Escrow Termination Date”), any amount of the Escrow Funds remain (subject to offset for amounts, if any, for which Sellers have previously qualified, as evidenced by a written notice accompanied by such additional items as may be necessary under the Escrow Agreement to verify Sellers’ right to draw from the Escrow Funds), then such remainder shall be released to Purchaser on the first business day after the Escrow Termination Date without further instruction or authorization necessary (and the remaining amount, if any, due to Sellers under the Escrow Agreement shall be disbursed to Sellers promptly upon Escrow Agent’s review and confirmation of Sellers’ notice claiming such funds). Upon full disbursement of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, in no event will Sellers’ obligations under the Escrow Agreement exceed the amount of the Escrow Funds.

 

2.12                           Earnout. Within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of written notice from Sellers that a Leasing Event has occurred with respect to any portion of the Vacant Space, Purchaser shall pay the applicable Seller (in immediately available funds) an amount (the “Earnout Payment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the product of (x) annual base rent sent forth in such lease (less the amount, if any, by which the pass-through amount paid by the tenant is less than 100% of such tenant’s proportionate share) multiplied by the total square footage of leasing space demised by such lease, by (y) the base rent divider of 6.8875; provided however, that in no event (i) shall the aggregate amount of the Earnout Payments made exceed $6,398,316.00 and (ii) shall Purchaser be obligated to make any Earnout Payment after November 30, 2006 regardless of the aggregate amounts of Earnout Payments paid to Seller on or before such date. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall survive the Closing.

 

Purchaser and Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that certain of the space within Building 3C (i) constitutes space for which a Leasing Event could occur as provided on Exhibit F-1, (ii) is subject to one or more Expiring Leases as provided on Exhibit F-1, and (iii) constitutes Vacant Space hereunder as provided on Exhibit F-2. SLVW may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, designate an Affiliate of SLVW to which any payments or distributions under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 hereof (including, without limitation, any Earnout Payment) may be made.

 

19



 

2.13                           Management Agreement; C&S Lease Extension Amendment. Contemporaneously with Closing, (a) Purchaser shall enter into a new sub-management agreement for the on-site property management of the Properties with Cooper & Stebbins, L.P.

The terms of this Section 2.13 shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall be required to agree to subordinate the sub-management agreement to the loan documents of any lender and agree that such lender may terminate the sub-management agreement in the event of a default under such lender’s loan.

The Properties will be acquired by Purchaser or its assignee for its own account for the purpose of investment and not for the purpose or with the intent of a distribution or other sale and disposition thereof.

This Section 3.2(e) shall survive the Closing.

 

(f)                                    Brokers. All negotiations relative to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been carried out by Purchaser directly with Sellers and its Affiliates, without the intervention of any Person on behalf of Purchaser in such manner as to give rise to any valid claim by any Person against Sellers or its Affiliates for a finder’s fee, brokerage commission, or similar payment, except for Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., whose commission shall be paid by Sellers pursuant to a separate written agreement.

 

(g)                                 No Third-Party Financing. Purchaser will not rely on third-party equity to be raised or any third-party financing.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Sellers and Sellers’ agents or employees have not at any time made and are not now making, and they specifically disclaim, any warranties, representations or guaranties of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the Properties, including, but not limited to, warranties, representations or guaranties as to (a) matters of title, (b) environmental matters relating to the Properties or any portions thereof, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or in the vicinity of the Properties, (c) geological conditions, including, without limitation, subsidence, subsurface conditions, water table, underground water reservoirs, limitations regarding the withdrawal of water, and geologic faults and the resulting damage of past and/or future faulting, (d) whether, and to the extent to which the Properties or any portions thereof are affected by any stream (surface or underground), body of water, wetlands, flood prone area, flood plain, floodway or special flood hazard, (e) drainage, (f) soil conditions, including the existence of instability, past soil repairs, soil additions or conditions of soil fill, or susceptibility to landslides, or the sufficiency of

 

25

(b)                                 Sale “As Is, Where Is”. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof and except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Purchaser shall accept the Properties conveyed “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and any document executed by Sellers and delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Sellers have not made and is not liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Properties or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, Property Information packages distributed with respect to the Properties) made or furnished by Sellers, or any property manager, real estate broker, agent or third party representing or purporting to represent Sellers, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Purchaser represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants and shall make an independent verification of the accuracy of any documents and information provided by Sellers. Purchaser will conduct such inspections and investigations of the Properties as Purchaser deems necessary, including, but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and shall rely upon same. By failing to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers have afforded Purchaser a full opportunity to conduct such investigations of the Properties as Purchaser deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Properties and the existence or non-existence or curative action to be taken with respect to any Hazardous Materials on or discharged from the Properties, and will rely solely upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Sellers or their agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical or construction defects or adverse

 

26



 

environmental, health or safety conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Sellers that: (a) Purchaser is represented by legal counsel in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) Purchaser is purchasing the Properties for business, commercial, investment or other similar purpose and not for use as Purchaser’s residence. Purchaser waives any and all rights or remedies it may have or be entitled to, deriving from disparity in size or from any significant disparate bargaining position in relation to Sellers.

 

(c)                                  Sellers Released from Liability. Purchaser acknowledges that it will have the opportunity to inspect the Properties during the Inspection Period, and during such period, observe the physical characteristics and existing conditions and the opportunity to conduct such investigation and study on and of the Properties and adjacent areas as Purchaser deems necessary, and except as otherwise provided herein Purchaser hereby FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Sellers from all responsibility and liability, including without limitation, liabilities under any Environmental Laws, regarding the condition, valuation, salability or utility of the Properties, or their suitability for any purpose whatsoever (including, but not limited to, with respect to the presence in the soil, air, structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Materials or other materials or substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property, current or future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, and any structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Materials on, under, adjacent to or otherwise affecting the Properties). Purchaser further hereby WAIVES (and by Closing this transaction will be deemed to have WAIVED) any and all objections and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the Property is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, any Environmental Laws) concerning the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Properties. Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable Laws relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Properties and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation.

 

(d)                                 Survival. The terms and conditions of this Section 3.3 shall expressly survive the Closing and not merge with the provisions of any Closing documents.

Such waiver must be in writing and must be executed by an executive officer of such party. A waiver on one occasion will not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other breach or nonfulfillment on a future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

 

33



 

7.7                                 Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing duly executed by or on behalf of Sellers and Purchaser.

 

7.8                                 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7.9                                 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Sellers, Purchaser, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

 

7.10                           Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas (without regard to the principles of conflicts of Law) applicable to a Contract executed and performable in such state.

 

7.11                           Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

7.12                           Limited Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder or part hereof may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto (and any attempt to do so will be void), except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement on or before the fifth day prior to the Closing Date to an Affiliate of Purchaser, any Affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., or any Affiliate of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.; provided, however, that Purchaser shall remain liable for all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement. Purchaser may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to any affiliate,

 

7.13                           Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations under this Agreement of Sellers and Purchaser will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may then be legal, valid and enforceable under applicable Law.

7.15                           Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take any of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of all of the Earnest Money, including any amount designated as a Breakup Fee, or (b) consummate the Closing, in

 

34



 

which latter event all of the Sellers’ assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

 

7.16                           Casually. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Sellers assume all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Properties by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Properties, or any part thereof, suffers any damage in excess of $2,000,000.00 or in any amount that would allow any of the Major Tenants to abate rent or terminate their lease prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty which Sellers, at their sole option, does not elect to repair, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage to the extent the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Purchase Price, shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and Purchaser shall receive a credit for the deductible. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage equal to or less than $2,000,000.00 prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus an amount equal to Sellers’ deductible under its insurance policy and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.

 

7.17                           Maintenance and Contracts. From the Effective Date of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement:

 

(a)                                  Sellers shall operate and maintain the Properties in the ordinary course of business consistent with the manner in which it has heretofore been operated and maintained. Sellers shall maintain property and casualty insurance on the Properties in the same amounts and for the same coverage as it has heretofore maintained for the Property.

 

(b)                                 Sellers will perform all the Sellers’ respective material obligations under the Contracts. Sellers will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), modify, enter into, or renew any Contract.

 

7.18                           Leasing. From the Effective Date of this Agreement through the expiration of the Inspection Period, Sellers will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), modify, enter into, or renew any Leases. Purchaser’s failure to respond in writing within four (4) business days of Sellers’ request for consent shall be deemed an approval of Sellers’ request, provided that at the time of any request for approval, if there remain less than four (4) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Inspection Period shall be extended to give Purchaser at least four (4) business days to respond. Subsequent to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Sellers shall not modify, enter into, or renew any leases except upon the express written consent of Purchaser which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

7.19                           1031 Exchange. Sellers intend that the transactions contemplated herein possibly qualify for an Internal Revenue Service Code Section 1031 exchange (“1031 Exchange”) and

 

35



 

Purchaser will, at no cost to Purchaser, cooperate with and make commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the use by Sellers of a “Qualified Intermediary” to hold the net proceeds from the transactions contemplated hereunder which are to be disbursed to Sellers at the Closing for the purpose of obtaining like-kind exchange treatment under a 1031 Exchange; provided, however, that (i) the Property shall be directly conveyed by the Sellers to Purchaser at Closing, (ii) such qualification will not unreasonably delay the time and date of the Closing and (iii) Purchaser will not bear any additional expenses, fees or costs in connection with such qualification. Purchaser is agreeing to so cooperate as an accommodation to Seller and Purchaser does not warrant, represent or guarantee any fact to Sellers related to such 1031 Exchange treatment or the process to be used by Sellers in their attempt to obtain such treatment.

7.2                                 Entire Agreement.  Except for documents executed by Capital I and Inland pursuant hereto, this Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and this Agreement contains the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

7.4                                 Public Announcement.  Neither party hereto shall make any public announcement or disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to outside brokers or third parties, before or after the Closing, without the prior written specific consent of the other party; however, either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement if required by Law or court order, and to its attorneys, accountants, employees and existing or prospective financial partners provided same are advised by such party of the confidential nature of such terms and conditions and agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof (in each case, prior to disclosure).  The consent by either party to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of such party of

 

29



 

any prohibition against any future disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inland may make any and all SEC filings deemed appropriate by Inland.

 

7.5                                 Further Assurance.  Capital I and Inland agree that, from time to time after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other, they will cooperate and will cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate with each other to effect the orderly transition of the business, operations, and affairs of Capital I.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Capital I will provide, and will cause its respective Affiliates to provide, representatives of Inland reasonable access to all books and records of Capital I and their Affiliates reasonably requested by Inland in the preparation of any post-Closing financial statements, reports, Tax Returns, or Tax filings of Capital I; (b) Inland will provide, representatives of the Existing Partners reasonable access to all pre-Closing books and records of Capital I reasonably requested by Capital I in the preparation of any post-Closing financial statements, reports, Tax Returns, or Tax filings of Capital I; and (c) each party hereto will execute such documents and instruments as the other party hereto may reasonably request containing terms and conditions mutually satisfactory to each party hereto to further effectuate the terms hereof.

 

7.6                                 Waiver.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof.  Such waiver must be in writing and must be executed by an executive officer of such party.  A waiver on one occasion will not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other breach or nonfulfillment on a future occasion.  All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

 

7.7                                 Amendment.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing duly executed by or on behalf of Capital I and Inland.

 

7.8                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7.9                                 No Third Party Beneficiary.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Capital I, the Existing Partners, Inland, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

 

7.10                           Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas (without regard to the principles of conflicts of Law) applicable to a Contract executed and performable in such state.

 

7.11                           Binding Effect.  This Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

7.12                           Limited Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder or part hereof may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto (and any attempt to do so will be void), except as otherwise specifically provided herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inland shall have the right to assign this Agreement on or before the fifth day prior to the Closing Date to an Affiliate of Inland, any

 

30



 

Affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., or any Affiliate of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.; provided, however, that Inland shall remain liable for all obligations of Inland under this Agreement.  Inland may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to any affiliate,

 

7.13                           Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations under this Agreement of Capital I, the Existing Partners and Inland will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may then be legal, valid and enforceable under applicable Law.

 

7.14                           Confidentiality.  Affiliates of Capital I and Inland have entered into the Confidentiality Agreement dated September 22, 2004, attached hereto and incorporated herein, and such Confidentiality Agreements shall be binding upon the parties herein.

 

7.15                           Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take any of the Capital I Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Inland may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of all of the Earnest Money, including any amount designated as a Breakup Fee, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Capital I’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Inland at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Contributed Capital.

 

7.16                           Casualty.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Capital I assume all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Capital I Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated.  If the Capital I Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage in excess of $2,000,000.00 or in any amount that would allow any of the Major Tenants to abate rent or terminate their lease prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty which Capital I, at their sole option, does not elect to repair, Inland may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Capital I’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage to the extent the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Contributed Capital, shall be assigned to Inland at the Closing and Inland shall receive a credit for the deductible.  If the Capital I Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage equal to or less than $2,000,000.00 prior to the Closing, Inland agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus an amount equal to Capital I’s deductible under its insurance policy and there shall be no reduction in the Contributed Capital.

 

7.17                           Maintenance and Contracts.  From the Effective Date of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement:

 

31



 

(a)                                   Capital I shall cause the Subsidiary of Capital I to operate and maintain the Capital I Property in the ordinary course of business consistent with the manner in which it has heretofore been operated and maintained.  Capital I shall maintain property and casualty insurance on the Capital I Property in the same amounts and for the same coverage as it has heretofore maintained for the Capital I Property.

 

(b)                                  Capital I will cause the Subsidiary of Capital I to perform all of Capital I’s respective material obligations under the Contracts.  Capital I will not, without the prior written consent of Inland (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), modify, enter into, or renew any Contract.

 

7.18                           Leasing.  From the Effective Date of this Agreement through the expiration of the Inspection Period, Capital I will cause the Subsidiary of Capital I to not, without the prior written consent of Inland (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), modify, enter into, or renew any Leases.  Inland’s failure to respond in writing within four (4) business days of Capital I’s request for consent shall be deemed an approval of Capital I’s request, provided that at the time of any request for approval, if there remain less than four (4) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Inspection Period shall be extended to give Inland at least four (4) business days to respond.  Subsequent to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Capital I shall not modify, enter into, or renew any leases except upon the express written consent of Inland which may be granted or withheld in Inland’s sole and absolute discretion.

(a)  Preliminary Title Report; Permitted Exceptions.

 

Buyer shall, at Seller’s expense (as hereinafter provided in Section 9, hereof), as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of this Agreement, furnish to Buyer and Seller a preliminary commitment for title insurance dated not sooner than the Effective Date and applicable to the Property (the “Preliminary Commitment”) issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”). Such Preliminary Commitment shall show title to the Property being vested in Seller, and subject only to “Permitted Exceptions.” The Title Company shall also provide to Buyer copies of all plats and other documents constituting title exceptions as disclosed in the Preliminary Commitment. In addition to the Permitted Exceptions, the Preliminary Commitment may show other exceptions to title; however, such other exceptions shall be removed by Seller at Seller’s sole cost and expense prior to Closing. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and refer to:

 

(i) general real estate taxes not due and payable;

 

(ii) the Leases and any modifications or amendments of the Leases, and any subleases of which Seller has provided notice of the existence to same to Buyer;

 

(iii) the Loan Documents; and

 

(iv) any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other rights affecting title to the Property, disclosed on the Preliminary Commitment and approved by Buyer within the last to occur of: (A) Buyer’s receipt of the Survey, Preliminary Commitment and copies of all documents of record, and (B) the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as used in this Agreement, the “Permitted Exceptions” shall not include: (i) any claims against title as may be apparent from the Survey (“Survey Defects”); or (ii) any mortgage lien, mechanics’ lien or judgment lien against the Property. In the event any such survey defect or mortgage lien, mechanics’ lien or judgment lien appears on the Preliminary Commitment or the survey or otherwise arises with respect to the Property on or prior to the Closing, Seller shall, at its expense and on or prior to the Closing, cause such Survey Defect or mortgage lien, mechanics’ lien or judgment lien to be removed from the Survey and/or title insurance policy, as applicable, to be delivered to Buyer at the Closing, either by correcting the condition causing such Survey Defect or satisfying such lien out of the proceeds payable to Seller at the Closing or by causing the Title Company to insure over such Survey Defect, mortgage lien, mechanics’ lien or judgment lien, as applicable. If Seller is unable to cure a Survey Defect, Buyer shall have the right to either: (A) close the transaction notwithstanding the Survey Defect, or (B) terminate this Agreement and immediately receive a return of the Earnest Money.

 

(b)  Manner of Conveyance; Identity of Grantee.

 

At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Special Warranty Deed with respect to the Property. On or prior to ten (10) days prior to the Closing date, Buyer shall, subject to subsection 18(h) below, notify Seller in writing of the identity of Buyer’s grantee for the Property.

 

(c)  Survey.

 

Seller shall, at Seller’s expense (as hereinafter provided) as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, obtain an update to Seller’s existing as-built survey of the Property, and containing a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, and made a part hereof, and containing such Table A Options as therein described (the “Survey”). In addition, the Survey shall indicate whether or not the Property or any part thereof is located within a

flood plain area, and the surveyor shall prepare and deliver elevation certificates in favor of Buyer. The Survey shall be certified to the Title Company, Buyer, Buyer’s lender, and Buyer’s grantee, if applicable and if the name of which has been provided to Seller.

 

(d)  Title Insurance Policy.

 

As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby, at Closing, Buyer shall be able to obtain, at the sole cost and expense of Seller (subject to the terms of Section 9, hereof), an owner’s title insurance policy for the Property in the most current ALTA form issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price and showing title to the Property in Buyer’s designated nominee (as identified pursuant to subsection 6(b) above), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and with extended coverage over all standard, or general exceptions (the “Title Policy”). The Title Policy shall also contain an affirmative endorsement insuring that there are no violations of restrictive covenants, if any, affecting the Property, and the endorsements described in Section 9(a)(i), hereof.

 

7.             Buyer’s Rights to Terminate this Agreement

 

(a)  If Buyer is not satisfied for any reason, or for no reason, in any respect, in the judgment of Buyer, with the results of its inspections described in Section 4, above, or with the content of the Pre-Closing deliveries described in Section 5, hereof or with the Preliminary Commitment or Survey delivered pursuant to Section 6, hereof, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement provided that written notice thereof is received by Seller on or prior to 10:00 P.M., Chicago time on or before August 31, 2004 (the “Due Diligence Period”).

 

(b)  Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7; (i) the Earnest Money (and all interest earned thereon, if any) shall immediately be returned to Buyer by the Earnest Money Escrowee, (ii) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other except for the Post-Termination Obligations, as hereinafter defined in subsection 7(c), and (iii) Buyer, upon five-days prior written notice from Seller, shall return to Seller any documents received from Seller, and shall thereafter keep all confidential information received as a result of its inspection in confidence.  Nothing contained in Section 4, or this Section 7, regarding Buyer’s confidentiality obligations shall prohibit or restrict Buyer from disclosing any confidential information received by Buyer from Seller to lawyers, accountants, auditors or other professionals utilized by Buyer as part of its due diligence investigations, or any lender or due diligence officer or personnel of any broker-dealer for the sale of securities or as may be required by law.

 

(c)  As used in this Agreement, the “Post-Termination Obligations” shall mean and refer to the indemnity and repair provisions of Section 4, the indemnity provisions of Section 14 hereof, and Buyer’s confidentiality obligations described under Section 4 and subsection 7(b), hereof. Such Post-Termination Obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

8.             Prorations and Adjustments

 

The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Buyer and Seller at the Closing:

 

(a)  Security deposits described by the Leases shall be credited to Buyer at Closing. Real estate property taxes and assessments due and payable prior to the date of Closing shall be paid in full on or prior to the Closing date. Real estate property taxes and assessments accrued and assessed against the Property but not yet due and payable shall be accounted for and prorated as of the date of Closing on the basis of the most currently issued (at the time of Closing) real estate tax bills and the net credit to Buyer shall be paid in cash or as a credit against the Purchase Price; provided, however, real estate taxes attributable to tenants who either reimburse annually or pay the taxing authority directly shall not be prorated at Closing. The real estate taxes shall be reprorated within ninety (90)

 

5



 

days of issuance of the actual tax bills. In addition, any deposits for real estate taxes and assessments made by any tenant(s) shall be credited to Buyer at Closing and shall be treated as a like-amount reduction in Buyer’s real estate tax proration. If any general or special assessment (as contrasted to ad valorem taxes) are payable in installments, Buyer shall receive a cash credit at Closing for the gross amount due

 

(b)  Rent, percentage rent and reimbursements for common area maintenance charges, insurance premiums and other lease charges (other than real estate taxes and assessments, which shall be accounted for and prorated as provided in subsection 8(a) above) shall be accounted for and prorated as follows: except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to all rents, percentage rent, miscellaneous income and reimbursements for common area maintenance charges, insurance premiums and other lease charges (other than real estate taxes and assessments) accruing on the date of and after the Closing, and Seller shall be entitled to all such items, if any, accruing prior to the Closing.  At Closing, Seller shall credit Buyer in an amount equal to the scheduled rent and reimbursements through the end of the month in which Closing occurs and Seller shall retain such payments as received from the tenants. Seller and Buyer further agree that percentage rent for each tenant shall be prorated as of the Closing based upon the amount of percentage rent, if any, that was payable by such tenant in the most recently completed percentage rent year under its Lease as to which the final amount of percentage rent, if any, that is owing has been determined (but with such adjustments, if any, as Seller and Buyer mutually and reasonably agree are appropriate due to any change in the manner of calculation of percentage rent that is owing from such tenant with respect to any period as to which a proration is applicable). Seller shall not receive any credit at Closing with respect to any unpaid accrued rents, percentage rents and reimbursements for common area maintenance charges, insurance premiums and other lease charges owing from tenants of the Property as of the Closing date. Seller shall not retain any security deposits or prepaid rent to offset any unpaid accrued rent or other unpaid amounts. With respect to any such unpaid amounts, (x) Seller shall retain the right, at its expense, to sue the applicable tenant for collection of any such unpaid amounts and, to the extent the applicable lease permits, collection costs and interest (and, in such regard, Buyer agrees to cooperate reasonably with any efforts by Seller to collect the aforesaid unpaid amounts; provided, however, Seller shall not be entitled to sue for possession), and provided further that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any cost or expense incurred by Buyer in connection with such cooperation, and (y) if Buyer collects any such unpaid amounts, Buyer shall promptly pay such amounts to Seller (and in such regard, if Buyer receives any amount from a tenant of the Property as to which such tenant specifically informs Buyer in writing to which lease obligation such payment is to be applied, Buyer shall so apply such payment; if such tenant does not so inform Buyer relative to how a particular payment is to be applied, Buyer shall be entitled to apply such payment first, on account of past due amounts owed to Buyer; second, on account of current amounts owed to Buyer; and third, on account of past due amounts owed to Seller).

 

(c)  Expense prorations - Except insofar as the same constitute expenses pro ratable under subsection 8(a) or 8(b) above, utility charges and deposits, fuels and all other items of expense customarily prorated on the transfer of properties similar to the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis as of the Closing date on the basis of the most recent ascertainable bills or on other reliable information with respect to each item of expense.  In the alternative Seller will provide Buyer with a certification that no additional proratable items exist with respect to the Property.

 

(d)  For purposes of calculating prorations and adjustments, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day on which the Closing occurs provided that Seller receives the funds due to Seller at Closing at or prior to 2:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time, on the Closing date, it being understood and agreed that, if the funds are received after such time on the Closing date, Seller shall be deemed in title to the Property as aforesaid for the entire day on which the Closing occurs.  In the event of any computational mistake or error, the parties shall make an appropriate adjustment(s) in cash between them to correct such mistake or error promptly after the discovery thereof. Otherwise, Buyer and Seller agree to adjust Closing adjustments between the parties within 120-days after the applicable calendar year-end period. Any amounts due shall be paid by the other party within 15-days after receipt of notice of the amount due together with supporting documentation.

 

6



 

(e)  The principal balance due and owing under the Note as of the date of Closing, together with accrued and unpaid interest under the Note to the date of Closing, shall be credited to Buyer at Closing. At Closing, Seller shall be credited in an amount equal to the real estate tax escrow held by Lender.

 

(f)  The obligations of Buyer and Seller set forth in this Section 8 shall survive the Closing.

 

9.             Costs to Buyer and Seller; Financing Costs.

 

(a)  Seller shall pay the following:

(iii)                               one-half of all escrow fees and one-half of all “NY Style” closing fees;

(vii)                           the costs of the Broker (as hereinafter defined).

 

(b)  Buyer shall pay costs of Buyer’s counsel, all recording or filing fees (other than recording fees for which Seller is responsible as provided in subsection 9(a)(v) above), one-half of all escrow fees, and one-half of all “NY Style” closing fees, all Loan assumption fees payable to Lender, the costs of the Survey in excess of $5,000.00, and all title charges (except charges related to title curative endorsements) in excess of $50,000,00.

In the event such conditions are not satisfied, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller prior to Closing, and upon any such termination the Earnest Money shall immediately be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be null and void, except for the provisions hereof that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if, at any time, Lender rejects Buyer as the transferee of the Loan or if Lender fails to approve Buyer as transferee of the Loan on or before the date of Closing, or if Buyer and Lender are not able to reasonably agree upon the form of Loan assumption documents, either Buyer or Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the other, and upon such termination by Buyer or Seller, the Earnest Money and all interest, if any, earned thereon shall then immediately be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be null and void.

 

Buyer hereby agrees, from and after the date of Closing, that it shall fully perform the obligations of Seller under the Loan Documents, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, liens, obligations, losses and costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising and accruing in connection with the Loan and the Loan Documents from and after the date of Closing, these obligations to survive Closing under this Agreement and shall not be merged with delivery of the Deed.

If prior to Closing all or any part of the Property is destroyed or damaged or is taken by condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental acquisition provisions, then the following procedues shall apply:

 

(i)                  If the cost of repair or replacement or the value of the governmental taking is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or less in the reasonable opinion of Buyer’s and Seller’s respective engineering consultants, and the Leases of the Property are not terminable on account thereof (assuming any necessary repairs, replacements or alterations required under the Leases are

 

15



 

diligently pursued by the landlord thereunder) or, if any Leases is so terminable, the tenant under such Leases has waived its termination rights and no abatement of rent occurs as a result of the damage, destruction or condemnation, Buyer shall close and take the Property as diminished by such events with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign the right to all casualty insurance and condemnation proceeds due with respect to such destruction, damage or taking to Buyer, as well as, to the extent the same are assignable, the proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption policies attributable to the period following the Closing and deductibles.

The proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption policies attributable to the period following the Closing and deductibles shall likewise, to the extent the same are assignable, be transferred and paid over to Buyer.

 

(iii)            In the event of a dispute between Seller and Buyer with respect to the cost of repair, restoration or replacement with respect to the matters set forth in this subsection 18(e), an engineer designated by Seller and an engineer designated by Buyer shall select an independent engineer licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where such Property is located who shall resolve such dispute. All fees, costs and expenses of the engineer so selected shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

 

(f)  Time of the Essence.

(g)  Choice of Law.

Promptly following, and as a condition to, any assignment by Buyer permitted under this subsection 18(h), Buyer shall deliver to Seller an assumption by the assignee of all of Buyer’s duties and obligations under this Agreement. In the event Seller assigns its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the liability of Seller shall in no way be affected and the liability of the Seller for the representations, warranties and

 

16



 

covenants made by the Seller herein shall continue as though no such assignment had been made.

 

(i)  Section Headings.

 

The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and are not intended to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof.

In addition, each of Buyer and Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts (not including, without limitation, the prosecution of any litigation or other actions outside of the ordinary course of business) to cause any conditions to its obligation to close to be satisfied.

 

(l)  Neutral Construction.

 

Each of the parties hereto has been involved in the negotiation, review, and execution of this Agreement and each has had the opportunity to receive independent legal advice from attorneys of its choice with respect to the advisability of making and executing this Agreement. In the event of any dispute or controversy regarding this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be considered to be the joint authors of this Agreement and no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted against a party hereto because of authorship.

Provided, however, that in no event shall the non-requesting party be required to sign any document, nor take title to any other real property, nor to incur any additional expenses or liability in order to effectuate the like-kind exchange. In addition, except as hereinafter provided, the Closing shall not be delayed by the requesting party. Upon notice to Buyer within 15-days prior to the date of Closing, Seller shall have the one-time right to delay the date of Closing for a period not to exceed 45-days the purpose of effectuating its §1031 like-kind exchange. Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims and other liabilities of any kind arising with regard to the effectuation of a tax free exchange as described herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, the non-requesting party makes no representations or warranties as to the tax treatment of the transaction contemplated hereby or the ability of the transaction contemplated to qualify for like-kind exchange treatment pursuant to § 1031 of the Code. In the event both parties desire to effectuate a like-kind exchange as described herein, each party shall pay any and all costs associated with their respective transactions.

ARTICLE I - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1.1           Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed hereunder based on a 360-day year and based on the actual number of days elapsed for any period in which interest is being calculated. The first interest accrual period hereunder shall commence on and include the date that principal is advanced hereunder and shall end on and include the next tenth (10th) day of a calendar month, unless principal is advanced on the tenth (10th) day of a month, in which case the first interest accrual period shall consist of only such tenth (10th) day. Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the eleventh (11th) day of each calendar month during the term of this Note and shall end on and include the tenth (10th) day of the next occurring calendar month.

 



 

1.2           Payment of Principal and Interest. Payments in federal funds immediately available at the place designated for payment received by Payee prior to 2:00 p.m. local time on a day on which Payee is open for business at said place of payment shall be credited prior to close of business, while other payments, at the option of Payee, may not be credited until immediately available to Payee in federal funds at the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time on a day on which Payee is open for business. Interest only shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, beginning on the eleventh (11th) day of the first full calendar month following the date of this Note (the “First Payment Date”), and continuing on the eleventh (11th) day of each and every calendar month thereafter through and including July 11, 2004. Thereafter, principal and interest shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments of $202,600.76 each, beginning on August 11, 2004 (each, a “Payment Date”), and continuing on the eleventh day of each and every calendar month thereafter through and-including December 11, 2012. On January 11, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), the entire outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full.

 

Maker hereby authorizes Payee to use its automated loan payment service pursuant to which on each Payment Date Maker shall have its monthly payments of principal and interest payments together with any other sums then due to Payee automatically drawn by Payee or its servicer in accordance with that certain Auto-Draft Request Form by and between Maker and Payee executed in connection with the Loan.

 

In the event that, on any Payment Date, there are insufficient funds in such account for sums due to Payee, then Payee shall be permitted to withdraw sums from such account on any day thereafter until such time as all payments due to Payee have been drawn from such account; provided, however, the foregoing shall in no event limit or otherwise modify Maker’s obligations to make payments of principal and interest and other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

 

1.3          Application of Payments. So long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists hereunder or under any other Loan Document, each such monthly installment shall be applied first, to any amounts hereafter advanced by Payee hereunder or under any other Loan Document, second, to any late fees and other amounts payable to Payee, third, to the payment of accrued interest and last to reduction of principal.

 

1.4        Payment of “Short Interest”. If the advance of the principal amount evidenced by this Note is made on a date on or after the first (1st) day of a calendar month and prior to the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month, Maker shall pay to Payee contemporaneously with the execution hereof interest at the Note Rate for a period from the date hereof through and including the tenth (10th) of this calendar month. If the advance of the principal amount evidenced by this Note is made on a date after the eleventh (11th) day of a calendar month and prior to or on the last day of a calendar month, Maker shall pay to Payee contemporaneously with the execution hereof interest at the Note Rate for a period from the date hereof through and including the tenth (10th) of the immediately succeeding calendar month.

1.5           Prepayment; Defeasance.

 

(a)       This Note may not be prepaid, in whole or in part (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), at any time. In the event that Maker wishes to have the Security Property (as hereinafter defined) released from the lien of the Security Instrument (as hereinafter defined), Maker’s sale option shall be a Defeasance (as hereinafter defined) upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Section l.5(d) hereof. This Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part without premium or penalty on either of the three (3) Payment Dates occurring immediately prior to the Maturity Date provided (i) written notice of such prepayment is received by Payee not more than ninety (90) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such prepayment, and (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by all interest accrued hereunder through and including the date of such prepayment and all other sums due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. If, upon any such permitted prepayment on either of the three (3) Payment Dates occurring immediately prior to the Maturity Date, the aforesaid prior written notice has not been timely received by Payee, there shall be due a prepayment fee equal to, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days’ interest computed at the Note Rate on the outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid and (ii) interest computed at the Note Rate on the outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid that would have been payable for the period from, and including, the date of prepayment through the Maturity Date of this Note as though such prepayment had not occurred.

 

(b)      If, prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Payment Date (the “Lockout Expiration Date”), the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall have been declared due and payable by Payee pursuant to Article II hereof or the provisions of any other Loan Document due to a default by Maker, then, in addition to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note being immediately due and payable, there shall also then be immediately due and payable a sum equal to the interest which would have accrued on the principal balance of this Note at the Note Rate from the date of such acceleration to the Lock-out Expiration Date, together with a prepayment fee in an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium (as hereinafter defined) based on the entire indebtedness on the date of such acceleration. If such acceleration is on or following the Lock-out Expiration Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium shall also then be immediately due and payable as though Maker were prepaying the entire indebtedness on the date of such acceleration. In addition to the amounts described in the two preceding sentences, in the event of any such acceleration or tender of payment of such indebtedness occurs or is made on or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the date of this Note, there shall also then be immediately due and payable an additional prepayment fee of three percent (3%) of the principal balance of this Note. The term “Yield Maintenance Premium” shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (A) two percent (2.0%) of (the principal amount being prepaid, and (B) the present value of a series of payments each equal to the Payment Differential (as hereinafter defined) and payable on each Payment Date over the remaining original term of this Note and on the Maturity Date, discounted at the Reinvestment Yield (as hereinafter defined) for the number of months remaining as of the date of such

 

3



 

prepayment to each such Payment Date and the Maturity Date. The term “Payment Differential” shall mean an amount equal to (i) the Note Rate less the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (ii) twelve (12) and multiplied by (iii) the principal sum outstanding under this Note after application of the constant monthly payment due under this Note on the date of such prepayment, provided that the Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. The term “Reinvestment Yield” shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest to the Maturity Date, or (ii) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, with each such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date that is fourteen (14) days prior to the date of such prepayment set forth in the notice of prepayment (or, if such bid price is not published on that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event that any prepayment fee is due hereunder, Payee shall deliver to Maker a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the prepayment fee, and, provided that Payee shall have in good faith applied the formula described above, Maker shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may be made by Payee on any day during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Payee shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Reinvestment Yield or otherwise as a condition to receiving the prepayment fee.

 

(c)           Partial prepayments of this Note shall not be permitted, except for partial prepayments resulting from Payee’s election to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to reduce the outstanding principal balance of this Note as provided in the Security Instrument, in which event no prepayment fee or premium shall be due unless, at the time of either Payee’s receipt of such proceeds or the application of such proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of this Note, an Event of Default, or an event which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred, which default or Event of Default is unrelated to the applicable casualty or condemnation, in which event the applicable prepayment fee or premium shall be due and payable based upon the amount of the prepayment. No notice of prepayment shall be required under the circumstances specified in the preceding sentence. No principal amount repaid may be reborrowed. Any such partial prepayments of principal shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance evidenced hereby but such application shall not reduce the amount of the fixed monthly installments required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2 above. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.5(a) above, the prepayment fees provided above shall be due, to the extent permitted by applicable law, under any and all circumstances where all or any portion of this Note is paid prior to the Maturity Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary or involuntary, including, without limitation, if such prepayment results from Payee’s exercise of its rights upon Maker’s default and acceleration of the Maturity Date of this Note (irrespective of whether foreclosure proceedings have been commenced), and shall be in addition to any other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. No tender of a prepayment of this Note with respect to which a prepayment fee is due shall be effective unless such prepayment is accompanied by the applicable prepayment fee.

 

4



 

(d)           (i)            On any Payment Date on or after the later to occur of (x) the Lockout Expiration Date, and (y) the day immediately following the date which is two (2) years after the “startup day,” within the meaning of Section 860G(a) (9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time or any successor statue (the “Code”), of a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code (a “REMIC Trust”), that holds this Note, and provided no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, at Maker’s option, Payee shall cause the release of the Security Property from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (a “Defeasance”) upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(A)          Maker shall give not more than ninety (90) days’ or less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Payee specifying the date Maker intends for the Defeasance to be consummated (the “Release Date”), which date shall be a Payment Date.

 

(B)           All accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under this Note and under the other Loan Documents up to and including the Release Date shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release Date.

 

(C)           Maker shall deliver to Payee on or prior to the Release Date:

 

(1)      a sum of money in immediately available funds (the “Defeasance Deposit”) equal to the outstanding principal balance of this Note plus an amount, if any, which together with the outstanding principal balance of this Note, shall be sufficient to enable Payee to purchase, through means and sources customarily employed and available to Payee, for the account of Maker, direct, non-callable obligations of the United States of America that provide for payments prior, but as close as possible, to all successive monthly Payment Dates occurring after the Release Date and to the Maturity Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater than the amount of the corresponding installment of principal and/or interest required to be paid under this Note (including, but not limited to, all amounts due on the Maturity Date) for the balance of the term hereof (the “Defeasance Collateral”), each of which shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Payee or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to Payee in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the Defeasance Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined) the first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral in favor of Payee in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;

 

(2)      a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to a prudent lender, creating a first priority security interest in favor of Payee in the Defeasance Collateral (the “Defeasance Security Agreement”), which shall

 

5

(5)     evidence in writing from the applicable rating agencies to the effect that the collateral substitution will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such defeasance event for any securities issued in connection with the securitization which are then outstanding;

Without limiting Maker’s obligations with respect thereto, Payee shall be entitled to deduct all such fees, costs, expenses and charges from the Defeasance Deposit to the extent of any portion of the Defeasance Deposit which exceeds the amount necessary to purchase the Defeasance Collateral.

 

(D)          In connection with the Defeasance Deposit, Maker hereby authorizes and directs Payee using the means and sources customarily employed and available to Payee to use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase for the account of Maker the Defeasance Collateral. Furthermore, the Defeasance Collateral shall be arranged such that payments received from such Defeasance Collateral shall be paid directly to Payee to be applied on account of the indebtedness of this Note. Any part of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the Defeasance Collateral and to pay the other and related costs Maker is obligated to pay under this Section 1.5 shall be refunded to Maker.

 

(ii)           Upon compliance with the requirements of subsection l.5(d)(i), the Security Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral which shall secure this Note and all other obligations under the Loan Documents.

Such successor entity shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Payee in its sole discretion pursuant to which it shall assume Maker’s obligations under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Maker shall (x) deliver to Payee an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to a prudent lender and delivered by counsel satisfactory to a prudent lender stating, among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Maker and such successor entity in accordance with its terms and that this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement as so assumed, are enforceable against such successor entity in accordance with their respective terms, and (y) pay all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees) incurred by Payee or its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assumption agreement and related documentation). Upon such assumption, Maker shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents other than as specified in Section 1.5(d)(i)(C)(7) above and under the Defeasance Security Agreement.

1.6           Security. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the obligations created hereby are secured by, among other things, that certain Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement (the “Security Instrument”) from Maker for the benefit of Payee, dated of even date herewith, covering property located in Henry County, Georgia. The Security Instrument, together with this Note and all other documents to or of which Payee is a party or beneficiary now or hereafter evidencing, securing, guarantying, modifying or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, are herein referred to collectively as the “Loan Documents”. All of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are incorporated herein by reference. Some of the Loan Documents are to be filed for record on or about the date hereof in the appropriate public records.

 

ARTICLE II - DEFAULT

 

2.1           Events of Default. It is hereby expressly agreed that should any default occur in the payment of principal or interest as stipulated above and such payment is not made on the date such payment is due, or should any other default not cured within any applicable grace or notice period occur under any other Loan Document, then an Event of Default (an “Event of Default”) shall exist hereunder, and in such event the indebtedness evidenced hereby, including all sums advanced or accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Payee and without notice to Maker, at once become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, whether or not there has been a prior demand for payment and regardless of the stipulated date of maturity.

 

2.2           Late Charges. In the event that any payment is not received by Payee on the date when due (subject to any applicable grace period), then, in addition to any default interest payments due hereunder. Maker shall also pay to Payee a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such overdue payment.

 

2.3           Default Interest Rate. So long as any Event of Default exists hereunder, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and at all times after maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby (whether by acceleration or otherwise), interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note, from the date due until the date credited, at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in excess of the Note Rate, or, if such increased rate of interest may not be collected under applicable law, then at the maximum rate of interest, if any, which may be collected from Maker under applicable law (the “Default Interest Rate”), and such default interest shall be immediately due and payable.

 

2.4           Maker’s Agreements. Maker acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Payee’s actual damages resulting from any late payment or default, and such late charges and default interest are reasonable estimates of those damages and do not constitute a penalty. The remedies of Payee in this Note or in the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together, in Payee’s discretion.

2.5           Maker to Pay Costs. In the event that this Note, or any part hereof, is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

2.6           Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note or the Loan Documents to the contrary, but subject to the qualifications hereinbelow set forth, Payee agrees that:

 

(a)        Maker shall be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced hereby and for the other obligations arising under the Loan Documents to the full extent (but only to the extent) of the security therefor, the same being all properties (whether real or personal), rights, estates and interests now or at any time hereafter securing the payment of this Note and/or the other obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Security Property”);

 

(b)        if a default occurs in the timely and proper payment of all or any part of such indebtedness evidenced hereby or in the timely and proper performance of the other obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents, any judicial proceedings brought by Payee against Maker shall be limited to the preservation, enforcement and foreclosure, or any thereof, of the liens, security titles, estates, assignments, rights and security interests now or at any time hereafter securing the payment of this Note and/or the other obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents, and no attachment, execution or other writ of process shall be sought, issued or levied upon any assets, properties or funds of Maker other than the Security Property, except with respect to the liability described below in this section; and

 

(c)        in the event of a foreclosure of such liens, security titles, estates, assignments, rights or security interests securing the payment of this Note and/or the other obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents, no judgment for any deficiency upon the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be sought or obtained by Payee against Maker, except with respect to the liability described below in this section; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, Maker shall be fully and personally liable and subject to legal action (i) for proceeds paid under any insurance policies (or paid as a result of any other claim or cause of action against any person or entity) by reason of damage, loss or destruction to all or any portion of the Security Property, to the full extent of such proceeds not previously delivered to Payee, but which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been delivered to Payee, (ii) for proceeds or awards resulting from the condemnation or other taking in lieu of condemnation of all or any portion of the Security Property, to the full extent of such proceeds or awards not previously delivered to Payee, but which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, should have been delivered to Payee, (iii) for all tenant security deposits or other refundable deposits paid to or held by Maker or any other person or entity in connection with leases of all or any portion of the Security Property which are not applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease or other agreement, (iv) for rent and other payments received from tenants under leases of all or any portion of the Security Property paid more than one (1) month in advance, (v) for rents, issues, profits and revenues of all or any portion of the Security Property received or applicable to a period after the

occurrence of any Event of Default or any event which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, hereunder or under the Loan Documents which are not either applied to the ordinary and necessary expenses of owning and operating the Security Property or paid to Payee, (vi) for waste committed on the Security Property, damage to the Security Property as a result of the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Maker or any of its principals, officers, general partners or members, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any agent or employee of any such person, or any removal of all or any portion of the Security Property in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents, to the full extent of the losses or damages incurred by Payee on account of such occurrence, (vii) for failure to pay any valid taxes, assessments, mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens or other liens which could create liens on any portion of the Security Property which would be superior to the lien or security title of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, to the full extent of the amount claimed by any such lien claimant except, with respect to any such taxes or assessments, to the extent that funds have been deposited with Payee pursuant to the terms of the Security Instrument specifically for the applicable taxes or assessments and not applied by Payee to pay such taxes and assessments, (viii) for all obligations and indemnities of Maker under the Loan Documents relating to hazardous or toxic substances or radon or compliance with environmental laws and regulations to the full extent of any losses or damages (including, but not limited to, those resulting from diminution in value of any Security Property) incurred by Payee as a result of the existence of such hazardous or toxic substances or radon or failure to comply with environmental laws or regulations, (ix) for fraud, material misrepresentation or failure to disclose a material fact by Maker or any of its principals, officers, general partners or members, any guarantor, any indemnitor or any agent, employee or other person authorized or apparently authorized to make statements, representations or disclosures on behalf of Maker, any principal, officer, general partner or member of Maker, any guarantor or any indemnitor, to the full extent of any losses, damages and expenses of Payee on account thereof, (x) for replacing the manager of the Security Property without the Payee’s prior written consent to the full extent of any losses, damages and expenses of Payee on account thereof, and (xi) for any partition of the Security Property to the full extent of any losses, damages and expenses of Payee on account thereof. References herein to particular sections of the Loan Documents shall be deemed references to such sections as affected by other provisions of the Loan Documents relating thereto. Nothing contained in this section shall (1) be deemed to be a release or impairment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or the other obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents or the lien of the Loan Documents upon the Security Property, or (2) preclude Payee from foreclosing the Loan Documents in case of any default or from enforcing any of the other rights of Payee except as stated in this section, or (3) limit or impair in any way whatsoever (A) the Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”) or (B) the Environmental Indemnity Agreement (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”), each of even date herewith executed and delivered in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or release, relieve, reduce, waive or impair in any way whatsoever, any obligation of any party to the Indemnity Agreement or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, Payee shall not be deemed to have waived any right

 

10



 

which Payee may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or secured by the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Payee in accordance with this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

 

ARTICLE III - GENERAL CONDITIONS

 

3.1           No Waiver; Amendment. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder, acceptance of a partial or past due payment, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Payee thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by any applicable laws; and Maker hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless Payee agrees otherwise in writing. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

3.2           Waivers. Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and nonpayment and all other notices are hereby waived by Maker. Maker hereby further waives and renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to the benefits of any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, exemption and homestead now or hereafter provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America and of each state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note or the other Loan Documents.

 

3.3           Limit of Validity. The provisions of this Note and of all agreements between Maker and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, paid or agreed to be paid (“Interest”) to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the money loaned under this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Maker and Payee shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance

 

11



 

whatsoever, Payee shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under this Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Payee, be paid over to Maker, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments judicially or otherwise under the law deemed to be Interest) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, paid or agreed to be paid to Payee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of this Note, including any extensions and renewals hereof until payment in full of the principal balance of this Note so that the Interest thereon for such full term will not exceed at any time the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. To the extent United States federal law permits a greater amount of interest than is permitted under the law of the State in which the Security Property is located, Payee will rely on United States federal law for the purpose of determining the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Payee may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the maximum lawful rate under the law of the State in which the Security Property is located or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Maker as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. This Section 3.3 will control all agreements between Maker and Payee.

 

3.4           Use of Funds. Maker hereby warrants, represents and covenants that no funds disbursed hereunder shall be used for personal, family or household purposes.

 

3.5           Unconditional Payment. Maker is and shall be obligated to pay principal, interest and any and all other amounts which become payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement, diminution or deduction and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff. In the event that at any time any payment received by Payee hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been avoidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor relief law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to Maker and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

 

3.6           Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE SECURITY PROPERTY IS LOCATED.

 

3.7           Waiver of Jury Trial. MAKER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND AFTER CONSULTING COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE DEBT EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE OR ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF

 

12



 

PAYEE OR MAKER, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH PAYEE OR MAKER, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

 

3.8           Secondary Market. Payee may sell, transfer and deliver the Loan Documents to one or more investors in the secondary mortgage market. In connection with such sale, Payee may retain or assign responsibility for servicing the loan evidenced by this Note or may delegate some or all of such responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to, any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors. All references to Payee herein shall refer to and include, without limitation, any such servicer, to the extent applicable.

 

3.9           Dissemination of Information. If Payee determines at any time to sell, transfer or assign this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant participations therein (the “Participations”) or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”), Payee may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor, or their respective successors in such Participations and/or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor and each of the foregoing’s respective counsel, all documents and information which Payee now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the debt evidenced by this Note and to Maker, any guarantor, any indemnitor and the Mortgaged Property, which shall have been furnished by Maker, any guarantor or any indemnitor as Payee determines necessary or desirable.

 

ARTICLE IV - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

4.1           The terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Maker and Payee and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law. As used herein, the terms “Maker” and “Payee” shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law. If Maker consists of more than one person or entity, each shall be jointly and severally liable to perform the obligations of Maker under this Note. All personal pronouns used herein, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Titles of articles and sections are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, amplify or describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Note. This Note and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative hereto and thereto which are not contained herein or therein are terminated.

COVENANTS OF GRANTOR

 

For the purpose of further securing the Debt and for the protection of the security of this Security Instrument, for so long as the Debt or any part thereof remains unpaid, Grantor covenants and agrees as follows:

 

1.1                               Warranties of Grantor.

 

Grantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to and with Grantee, its successors and assigns, that:

 

(a)                                  Grantor has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, subject only to those matters expressly set forth as exceptions to or subordinate matters in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument delivered as of the date hereof which Grantee has agreed to accept, excepting therefrom all preprinted and/or standard exceptions (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”), and has full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer, encumber and mortgage its interest in the Property in the manner and form hereby done or intended. Grantor will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Grantee against any and all claims whatsoever and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Security Instrument and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Grantee in the event Grantee acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure;

 

(b)                                 No bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are pending or contemplated by Grantor or, to the best knowledge of Grantor, against Grantor or by or against any endorser or cosigner of the Note or of any portion of the Debt, or any guarantor or indemnitor under any guaranty or indemnity agreement executed in connection with the Note or the loan evidenced thereby and secured hereby (an “Indemnitor”);

 

(c)                                  All reports, certificates, affidavits, statements and other data furnished by or on behalf of Grantor to Grantee in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note are true and correct in all material respects and do not omit to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading;

 

(d)                                 The execution, delivery and performance of this Security Instrument, the Note and all of the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action to be, and

 

5



 

are, binding and enforceable against Grantor in accordance with the respective terms thereof and do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default (nor upon the giving of notice or the passage of time or both will same constitute a default) under the partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, operating agreement or other organizational documents of Grantor or any contract or agreement of any nature to which Grantor is a party or by which Grantor or any of its property may be bound and do not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which Grantor is subject;

 

(e)                                  The Premises and the Improvements and the current intended use thereof by Grantor comply in all material respects with all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning ordinances, subdivision and building codes, flood disaster laws, health and environmental laws and regulations and all other ordinances, orders or requirements issued by any state, federal or municipal authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Property. The Premises and Improvements constitute one or more separate tax parcels for purposes of ad valorem taxation. The Premises and Improvements do not require any rights over, or restrictions against, other property in order to comply with any of the aforesaid governmental ordinances, orders or requirements;

 

(f)                                    All utility services necessary and sufficient for the full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements for their intended purposes are available to the Property, including water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, gas, electric, cable and telephone facilities, through public rights-of-way or perpetual private easements approved by Grantee;

 

(g)                                 All streets, roads, highways, bridges and waterways necessary for access to and full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements have been completed, have been dedicated to and accepted by the appropriate municipal authority and are open and available to the Premises and the Improvements without further condition or cost to Grantor;

 

(h)                                 All curb cuts, driveways and traffic signals shown on the survey delivered to Grantee prior to the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument are existing and have been fully approved by the appropriate governmental authority;

 

(i)                                     There are no judicial, administrative, mediation or arbitration actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Grantor (or, if Grantor is a partnership or a limited liability company, any of its general partners or members) or the Property which, if adversely determined, would materially impair either the Property or Grantor’s ability to perform the covenants or obligations required to be performed under the Loan Documents;

 

(j)                                     The Property is free from delinquent water charges, sewer rents, taxes and assessments;

 

(k)                                  As of the date of this Security Instrument, the Property is free from unrepaired damage caused by fire, flood, accident or other casualty;

 

6



 

(l)                                     As of the date of this Security Instrument, no part of the Premises or the Improvements has been taken in condemnation, eminent domain or like proceeding nor is any such proceeding pending or, to Grantor’s knowledge and belief, threatened or contemplated;

 

(m)                               Grantor possesses all franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, licenses and permits necessary for the conduct of its business substantially as now conducted;

 

(n)                                 To the best of Grantor’s knowledge and except as may otherwise be disclosed in that certain Property Condition Report delivered to Grantee with respect to the Property, the Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and free of defects in materials and workmanship and have been constructed and installed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications relating thereto. All major building systems located within the Improvements, including, without limitation, the heating and air conditioning systems and the electrical and plumbing systems, are in good working order and condition;

 

(o)                                 Grantor has delivered to Grantee true, correct and complete copies of all Contracts and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof;

 

(p)                                 Each Contract constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Grantor and, to the best of Grantor’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against any other party thereto. To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, no default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Contract which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Grantor or the Property;

 

(q)                                 No Contract provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Security Instrument;

 

(r)                                    Grantor and the Property are free from any past due obligations for sales and payroll taxes;

 

(s)                                  There are no security agreements or financing statements affecting all or any portion of the Property other than (i) as disclosed in writing by Grantor to Grantee prior to the date hereof and (ii) the security agreements and financing statements created in favor of Grantee;

1.2                               Defense of Title.

 

If, while this Security Instrument is in force, the title to the Property or the interest of Grantee therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely affected in any manner, Grantor, at Grantor’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Grantee, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Grantee determines that Grantor is not adequately performing its obligations under this Section, Grantee may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Grantee hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Grantee shall deem necessary or proper and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

1.3                               Performance of Obligations.

 

Grantor shall pay when due the principal of and the interest on the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note. Grantor shall also pay all charges, fees and other sums required to be paid by Grantor as provided in the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants and agreements to be observed, performed or discharged by Grantor set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms. Further, Grantor shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Grantor in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Security Instrument.

 

1.4                               Insurance.

 

Grantor shall, at Grantor’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Security Instrument continues in effect the following insurance:

 

(a)                                  Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, windstorm, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an “all-risk” form of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by an MAI appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Grantee’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Grantee determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Grantor shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Grantor from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Grantee’s approval. The maximum deductible shall be $10,000.00.

 

(b)                                 Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000.00. Grantee hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Grantor and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Grantee deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.

 

9



 

(c)                                  Boiler and machinery insurance is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Premises. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in operation at the Premises, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as determined by Grantee. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the value of such unit(s).

 

(d)                                 If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), or (b) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. The maximum deductible shall be $3,000.00 per building or a higher minimum amount as required by FEMA or other applicable law.

 

(e)                                  During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Grantee’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Grantee, may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Grantee, shall be required.

 

(f)                                    When required by applicable law, ordinance or other regulation, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all persons subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the state in which the Property is located.

 

(g)                                 Business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Grantor for all Rents or income during a period of not less than eighteen (18) months. The amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the Rents or income payable during the succeeding eighteen (18) month period.

 

(h)                                 Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Grantee against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence, Earthquake and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.

 

(i)                                     To the extent required by Grantee and commercially reasonably available at commercially reasonable rates, terrorism insurance.

 

All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least A from Standard & Poors, or equivalent, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete

 

10



 

legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (iv) be subject to the approval of Grantee as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (vi) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:

Attn.: Structured Finance Servicing

P.O. Box 563956

Charlotte, NC 28256-3956

 

(a) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (b) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (c) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.

 

Grantor shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Grantee evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Grantee. Grantor shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Grantee certificates and policies evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. Grantor further agrees that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Grantee prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Grantee prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Grantee in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Grantor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance, (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Grantee; (iv) in the event that the Premises or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of Law” (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages; and (v) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Grantee’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 1.4. The delivery to Grantee of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Grantor to Grantee as further security for the Debt. In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Grantee or other transferee in the event of

 

11



 

such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Grantee shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Grantor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Grantee the policies of insurance required by this Security Instrument or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Grantee may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Grantor shall pay all amounts advanced by Grantee therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Grantee until actually repaid by Grantor, promptly upon demand by Grantee. Any amounts so advanced by Grantee, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Grantee shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Grantee has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Grantor to furnish such insurance. Grantor shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Grantee without the prior written consent of Grantee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Grantee is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Grantee receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.

 

1.5                               Payment of Taxes.

 

Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Security Instrument, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon the Property. Grantor shall furnish Grantee with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Grantee, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Grantee determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Grantee therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Grantor deposits in the Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Grantee to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Grantor shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final, and provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.

 

1.6                               Tax Impound Account.

 

Grantor shall establish and maintain at all times while this Security Instrument continues in effect an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Grantee for payment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Property and as additional security for the Debt. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Grantor shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount determined

 

12



 

by Grantee to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Grantee an amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be deposited with Grantee hereunder on account of real estate taxes and assessments, will result in there being on deposit with Grantee in the Impound Account an amount sufficient to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Property at least one (1) month prior to the earlier of (a) the due date thereof or (b) any such date by which Grantor or Grantee is required by law to pay same. Commencing on the first monthly payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Grantee, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and payable on the Property, each as estimated and determined by Grantee. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default;) all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Grantee in the Impound Account to pay said taxes and assessments before the same become delinquent. Grantor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Grantee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes and assessments to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Grantee shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. Commencing on the first payment date following an Event of Default, and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, in addition to the monthly deposit for taxes and assessments, Grantor shall deposit with Grantee an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Grantor is required to maintain hereunder. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Grantee shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. No interest on funds contained in the Impound Account, if any, shall be paid by Grantee to Grantor.

 

1.7                               [Reserved].

 

1.8                               Replacement Reserve.

 

(a)                                  Following an Event of Default, as additional security for the Debt, Grantor shall establish and maintain at all times thereafter while this Security Instrument continues in effect a repair reserve (the “Replacement Reserve”) with Grantee for payment of costs and expenses incurred by Grantor in connection with the performance of work to the roofs, chimneys, gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, ramps, driveways, balconies, porches, patios, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows, elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment (collectively, the “Repairs”). Commencing on the first monthly Payment Date under the Note following an Event of Default and continuing thereafter on each monthly Payment Date under the Note, Grantor shall pay to Grantee, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an

 

13



 

amount determined by Grantee. All sums in the Replacement Reserve shall be held by Grantee in the Replacement Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of Repairs. Grantee shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Grantor the amount paid or incurred by Grantor in performing such Repairs within ten (10) days following: (a) the receipt by Grantee of a written request from Grantor for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by Grantor in a form approved in writing by Grantee that the applicable item of Repair has been completed; (b) the delivery to Grantee of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Grantee, verifying the cost of performing the Repairs; (c) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, the delivery to Grantee of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Grantee showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Property; (d) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, delivery to Grantee of a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Grantee describing the completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the Repairs and the value of the completed Repairs, and (e) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, delivery to Grantee of a new certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Grantor that no new certificate of occupancy is required. Grantee shall not be required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment from the Replacement Reserve, Grantee shall be entitled to rely on such request from Grantor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Grantee may, at Grantor’s expense, make or cause to be made during the term of this Security Instrument an annual inspection of the Property to determine the need, as determined by Grantee in its reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Property. In the event that such inspection reveals that further Repairs of the Property are required, Grantee shall provide Grantor with a written description of the required Repairs and Grantor shall complete such Repairs to the reasonable satisfaction of Grantee within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such description from Grantee, or such later date as may be approved by Grantee in its sole discretion. Interest on the funds contained in the Replacement Reserve shall be credited to Grantor as provided in Section 4.31 hereof.

 

(b)                                 As additional security for the payment and performance by Grantor of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Grantee, and hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in, (i) the Impound Account and the Replacement Reserve, if any, and any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance on said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Grantor hereby authorizes and consents to the account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Grantee’s name or the name of any

 

14



 

entity servicing the Note for Grantee and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Grantee, or at Grantee’s election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Grantee herein may be delivered by Grantee at any time to the financial institution wherein the Reserves have been established, and Grantee, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Grantor hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves. Grantor hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Grantor’s direction and is not the exercise by Grantee of any right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. Grantor hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves except as provided for in this Security Instrument. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents Grantee may, without notice or demand on Grantor, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the Debt or any other obligations of Grantor under the other Loan Documents in such manner as Grantee shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Grantor, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default.

 

(c)                                  The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Grantee’s option and in Grantee’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Grantee with the general funds of Grantee. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Grantee and entail no responsibility on Grantee’s part beyond the payment of the respective items for which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Security Instrument by Grantee, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Grantee, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Grantee for the purposes and items for which the applicable Reserve is held, such excess may be credited by Grantee on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Grantee, refunded to Grantor. If, however, the applicable Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required by the dates on which such sums are required to be on deposit in such account, Grantor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Grantee the full amount of any such deficiency. If Grantor shall fail to deposit with Grantee the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Grantee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Grantee, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date so deposited by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. If there is an Event of Default under this Security Instrument, Grantee may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in any or all of the Reserves against the Debt in whatever order Grantee shall subjectively determine. No such application of any or all of the Reserves shall be

 

15



 

deemed to cure any Event of Default. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Grantee may elect, the balance of any or all of the Reserves then in Grantee’s possession shall be paid over to Grantor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

 

1.9                               Casualty and Condemnation.

 

Grantor shall give Grantee prompt written notice of the occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Grantee. Grantee may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and Grantee is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Grantor’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Grantor shall from time to time deliver to Grantee any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, Grantee shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $250,000. Grantee shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:

 

(a)                                  In the event that less than forty percent (40%) of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed, then if and so long as:

 

(1)                                  no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and

 

(2)                                  the Property can, in Grantee’s judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (i) nine (9) months after the receipt of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either Grantor or Grantee, and (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and

 

(3)                                  all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property as described in Section (a)(2) above, and

 

(4)                                  there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Grantor, the full amount of which shall, at Grantee’s option, have been deposited with Grantee) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any costs and expenses of Grantee to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and

 

16



 

(5)                                  the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Property and debt service on the Debt in full with the same coverage ratio considered by Grantee in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and

 

(6)                                  in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $250,000.00, Grantor shall have delivered to Grantee, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance satisfactory to Grantee appraising the value of the Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the Property considered by Grantee in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and

 

(7)                                  Grantor so elects by written notice delivered to Grantee within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim, then, Grantee shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Grantor therefor, to Grantor in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Grantee of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Grantee of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Grantee in its discretion, with any remainder being applied by Grantee for payment of the Debt in whatever order Grantee directs in its absolute discretion.

 

(b)                                 In all other cases, namely, in the event that forty percent (40%) or more of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed or Grantor does not elect to restore or repair the Property pursuant to clause (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Grantee shall elect, in Grantee’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Grantee’s security, to do either of the following: (1) accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable and apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in whatever order Grantee directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Grantor, or (2) notwithstanding that Grantor may have elected not to restore or repair the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.9(a)(7) above, require Grantor to restore or repair the Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Grantor with Grantee, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency reasonably determined by Grantee to be necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Grantee’s costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, the prior approval by Grantee of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Grantee of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Grantee in its discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such

 

17



 

restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Grantee for payment of the Debt in whatever order Grantee directs in its absolute discretion.

 

Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Grantee’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Grantee actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Grantor shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Grantee, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Grantor elects or Grantee directs Grantor to restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Property as provided above, Grantor shall promptly and diligently, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Grantor shall pay to Grantee all costs and expenses of Grantee incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Grantee makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Grantee to confirm the foregoing assignment to Grantee of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Grantee is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-intact of Grantor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.

 

1.10                        Construction Liens.

 

Grantor shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Premises or the Improvements; provided, however, that, Grantor shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Grantee and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Grantor shall contest any such claim or demand, Grantor shall promptly notify Grantee of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Grantee’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Grantee to protect Grantee’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Grantor shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Grantee may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Grantee, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

1.11                        Rents and Profits.

 

As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Grantor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Grantee all existing and future Rents and Profits. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose Grantor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Grantee its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof). Grantee shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or inability to collect Rents, proceeds or other payments. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Security Instrument or under any other of the Loan Documents, Grantor shall have a license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one (1) month prior to due date thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor’s license shall automatically terminate without notice to Grantor and Grantee may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or by an agent or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Grantor shall be the agent of Grantee in collection of the Rents and Profits, and all of the Rents and Profits so collected by Grantor shall be held in trust by Grantor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Grantee, and Grantor shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents and Profits, pay the same to Grantee to be applied by Grantee as hereinafter set forth. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by Grantee shall constitute any assumption by Grantee of any obligations under any agreement relating thereto. Grantee is obligated to account only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or received by Grantee. Grantor irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective payors of the Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from Grantee of an Event of Default, pay said Rents and Profits to Grantee without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event of Default claimed by Grantee. Grantor hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Grantor may now or hereafter have against any such payer by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to Grantee, and any such payment shall discharge such payor’s obligation to make such payment to Grantor. All Rents collected or received by Grantee may be applied against all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, against costs of operation and management of the Property and against the Debt, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Grantee directs in its sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security. Neither the exercise by Grantee of any rights under this Section nor the application of any Rents to the Debt shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default. The assignment of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property. Grantor has executed an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the “Assignment”) in favor of Grantee covering all of the right, title and interest of Grantor, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any Leases. All rights and remedies granted to Grantee under the Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to Grantee hereunder.

 

19



 

1.12                        Leases.

 

(a)                                  Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any Lease affecting 7,500 square feet or more of the Property or having a term of five (5) years or more without the prior written approval of Grantee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The request for approval of each such proposed new Lease shall be made to Grantee in writing and shall state that, pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument, failure to approve or disapprove such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days is deemed approval and Grantor shall furnish to Grantee (and any loan servicer specified from time to time by Grantee): (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed Tenant as Grantee may require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease, and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed lease and any options). It is acknowledged that Grantee intends to include among its criteria for approval of any such proposed Lease the following: (i) such Lease shall be with a bona-fide arm’s-length Tenant; (ii) such Lease shall not contain any rental or other concessions which are not then customary and reasonable for similar properties and Leases in the market area of the Premises; (iii) such Lease shall provide that the Tenant pays for its expenses; (iv) the rental shall be at least at the market rate then prevailing for similar properties and leases in the market areas of the Premises; and (v) such Lease shall contain subordination and attornment provisions in form and content acceptable to Grantee. Failure of Grantee to approve or disapprove any such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written request and all the documents and information required to be furnished to Grantee with such request shall be deemed approval, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same.

 

(b)                                 Prior to execution of any Leases of space in the Improvements after the date hereof, Grantor shall submit to Grantee, for Grantee’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a copy of the form Lease Grantor plans to use in leasing space in the Improvements or at the Property. All such Leases of space in the Improvements or at the Property shall be on terms consistent with the terms for similar leases in the market area of the Premises, shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with prevailing market conditions and shall provide for market rents then prevailing in the market area of the Premises. Such Leases shall also provide for security deposits in reasonable amounts consistent with prevailing market conditions. Grantor shall also submit to Grantee for Grantee’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to the execution thereof, any proposed Lease of the Improvements or any portion thereof that differs materially and adversely from the aforementioned form Lease. Grantor shall not execute any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Property, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant, lessee or licensee thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Grantor shall furnish to Grantee, within ten (10) days after a request by Grantee to do so, but in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent Roll, certified by Grantor as being true and correct, containing the names of all Tenants with respect to the Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each Tenant’s security deposit. Upon the request of Grantee, Grantor shall deliver to Grantee a copy of each such Lease. Grantor shall not do or suffer to be done any act, or omit to take any

 

20



 

action, that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant thereunder to withhold payment of rent or cancel or terminate same and shall not further assign any such Lease or any such Rents and Profits. Grantor, at no cost or expense to Grantee, shall enforce, short of termination, the performance and observance of each and every condition and covenant of each of the parties under such Leases and Grantor shall not anticipate, discount, release, waive, compromise or otherwise discharge any rent payable under any of the Leases. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee, modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except, with respect only to Leases affecting less than 7,500 square feet and having a term of five (5) years or less, in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Property is located, Grantor shall not permit the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof.

 

(c)                                  Each Lease executed after the date hereof affecting any of the Premises or the Improvements must provide, in a manner approved by Grantee, that the Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Grantor upon any foreclosure of this Security Instrument or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such Lease shall also provide that, upon request of said successor-in-interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for in this Section; provided, however, that neither Grantee nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of said Lease made without the express written consent of Grantee or said successor-in-interest.

 

(d)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Security Instrument, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due or whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose this Security Instrument, forthwith, upon demand of Grantee, Grantor shall surrender to Grantee, and Grantee shall be entitled to take actual possession of, the Property or any part thereof personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event, Grantee shall have, and Grantor hereby gives and grants to Grantee, the right, power and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to the Property or portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon conditions and provisions as Grantee may deem desirable in its sole discretion, and Grantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the term of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale of the Property, it being the intention of Grantor that in such event Grantee shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Grantor for the purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed desirable to Grantee in its sole discretion and with like effect as if such Leases had been made by Grantor as the owner in fee simple of the Property free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by this Security Instrument. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Grantor to Grantee shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by Grantor so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Grantor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Grantor subsequent to the date hereof. In connection with any action taken by Grantee pursuant to this Section, Grantee shall not be liable for any loss

 

21



 

sustained by Grantor resulting from any failure to let the Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Grantee in managing the Property, nor shall Grantee be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease covering the Property or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Grantor shall, and does hereby, indemnify Grantee for, and hold Grantee harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Grantee under any such Lease or under this Security Instrument or by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Grantee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any such Lease other than those finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee. Should Grantee incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately due and payable to Grantee by Grantor on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section shall impose on Grantee any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease, nor shall it operate to make Grantee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property. Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Grantee with respect to the Property taken under this Section.

 

1.13                        Alienation and Further Encumbrances.

 

(a)                                  Grantor acknowledges that Grantee has relied upon the principals of Grantor and their experience in owning and operating the Property and properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.6 hereof, in the event that the Property or any part thereof or interest therein shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12 hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred or Grantor shall be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of Grantee being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Grantee’s sole discretion, then the same shall constitute an Event of Default and Grantee shall have the right, at its option, to declare any or all of the Debt, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article III hereof. For the purposes of this Section: (i) in the event either Grantor or any of its general partners or members is a corporation or trust, the sale, conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Grantor or any of its general partners or members or of the beneficial interest of such trust (or the issuance of new shares of capital stock in Grantor or any of its general partners or managing members so that immediately after such issuance (in one or a series of transactions) the total capital stock then

 

22



 

issued and outstanding is more than 110% of the total immediately prior to such issuance) shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Property; and (ii) in the event Grantor or any general partner or managing member of Grantor is a limited or general partnership, a joint venture or a limited liability company, a change in the ownership interests in any general partner, any joint venturer or any managing member, either voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the sale, conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of all or any portion of the interest of any such general partner, joint venturer or managing member in Grantor or such general partner or managing member (whether in the form of a beneficial or partnership interest or in the form of a power of direction, control or management, or otherwise), shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) limited partnership interests in Grantor or in any general partner or member of Grantor shall be freely transferable without the consent of Grantee, (ii) any involuntary transfer caused by the death of Grantor or any general partner, shareholder, joint venturer, member or beneficial owner of a trust shall not be an Event of Default under this Security Instrument so long as Grantor is reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property and Grantor remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management is approved by Grantee, (iii) gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual’s interests in Grantor or in any of Grantor’s general partners, managing members or joint venturers to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual, spouse or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of Default under this Security Instrument so long as Grantor is reconstituted, if required, following such gift and so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property and Grantor remain unchanged following such gift or any replacement management is approved by Grantee and (iv) membership interests in each limited liability company tenant-in-common entity comprising Grantor or in any general partner or member of such entity shall be freely transferable without the consent of Grantee so long as the principal controlling and managing such entity as of the date hereof remains unchanged following such transfer.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Grantee shall consent to a sale, conveyance or transfer of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, “a Sale”) to any person or entity provided that, for each Sale, each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied;

 

(1)                                  No Default and no Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(2)                                  Grantor gives Grantee written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Grantee all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Property (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Grantee would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays to Grantee a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $5,000. Grantee shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer, In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Grantee shall consider the Buyer’s experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the Buyer’s financial strength, the Buyer’s general business standing and the Buyer’s relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Grantee’s

 

23



 

agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Grantee determines to be commercially reasonable in Grantee’s sole discretion and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Grantee may deem appropriate;

 

(3)                                  Grantor pays Grantee, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Grantee in connection with the Sale, plus an amount equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note for the first Sale and one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note for each Sale after the First Sale;

(5)                                  A party associated with the Buyer approved by Grantee in its sole discretion assumes the obligations of the current Indemnitor under its guaranty or indemnity agreement and such party associated with the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Grantee, a new guaranty or indemnity agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Grantee and delivers such legal opinions as Grantee may require;

 

(6)                                  Grantor and the Buyer execute, without any cost or expense to Grantee, new financing statements or financing statement amendments and any additional documents reasonably requested by Grantee;

 

(7)                                  Grantor delivers to Grantee, without any cost or expense to Grantee, such endorsements to Grantee’s title insurance policy, hazard insurance policy endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Grantee may deem necessary at the time of the Sale, all in form and substance satisfactory to Grantee, including, without limitation, an endorsement or endorsements to Grantee’s title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument, extending the effective date of such policy to the date of execution and delivery (or, if later, of recording) of the assumption agreement referenced above in subparagraph (4) of this Section, with no additional exceptions added to such policy, and insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in the Buyer;

 

(8)                                  Grantor executes and delivers to Grantee, without any cost or expense to Grantee, a release of Grantee, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from all claims and liability relating to the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents, through and including the date of the closing of the Sale, which agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Grantee and shall be binding upon the Buyer;

 

(9)                                  Subject to the provisions of Section 4.27 hereof, such Sale is not construed so as to relieve Grantor of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan

 

24



 

Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, whether or not same is discovered prior or subsequent to the closing of such Sale, and Grantor executes, without any cost or expense to Grantee, such documents and agreements as Grantee shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal liability. Grantor shall be released from and relieved of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such Sale which are not caused by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, and

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Grantor shall have the right to obtain subordinate financing on the Property secured by interests in the Grantor provided (i) the subordinate lender executes a subordination and standstill agreement acceptable to Grantee in its sole discretion, (ii) the Property with such subordinate financing (A) supports a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.15:1, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion and (B) does not have a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 85%, as determined by an independent MAI appraisal at Grantor’s expense, subject to review and approval by Grantee and (iii) Grantor or subsequent Buyer reimburses Grantee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection with and directly related to such subordinate financing. In addition, a subsequent Buyer may obtain subordinate financing on the Property secured by interests in such Buyer provided the Property with such subordinated financing does not exceed a loan to acquisition price of 85%. Subordinate financing obtained by a subsequent Buyer may be secured by a subordinate lien on the Property if the conditions set forth in this Section 1.13(c)(i), (ii) (A) and (B) and (iii) are satisfied.

 

1.14                        Payment of Utilities. Assessments, Charges, Etc.

 

Grantor shall pay when due all utility charges which are incurred by Grantor or which may become a charge or lien against any portion of the Property for gas, electricity, water and sewer services furnished to the Premises and/or the Improvements and all other assessments or charges of a similar nature, or assessments payable pursuant to any restrictive covenants, whether public or private, affecting the Premises and/or the Improvements or any portion thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are or may become liens thereon.

1.20                        Payment of Costs; Reimbursement to Grantee.

 

Grantor shall pay all costs and expenses of every character reasonably incurred in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note and secured hereby or otherwise attributable or chargeable to Grantor as the owner of the Property, including, without limitation, appraisal fees, recording fees, documentary, stamp, mortgage or intangible taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, title policy premiums and title search fees, uniform commercial code/tax lien/litigation search fees, escrow fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees. If Grantor defaults in any such payment, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Grantee may pay the same and Grantor shall reimburse Grantee on demand for all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Grantee, together with such interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date of Grantee’s making such payment until reimbursement thereof by Grantor. Any such sums disbursed by Grantee, together with such interest thereon, shall be additional indebtedness of Grantor secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Further, Grantor shall promptly notify Grantee in writing of any litigation or threatened litigation affecting the Property, or any other demand or claim which, if enforced, could impair or threaten to impair Grantee’s security hereunder. Without limiting or waiving any other rights and remedies of Grantee hereunder, if Grantor fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Security Instrument or in any of the other Loan Documents and such failure is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, or if any action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding) is commenced which might affect Grantee’s interest in the Property or Grantee’s right to enforce its security, then Grantee may, at its option, with or without notice to Grantor, make any appearances, disburse any sums and take any actions as may be necessary or desirable to protect or enforce the security of this Security Instrument or to remedy the failure of Grantor to perform its covenants and agreements (without, however, waiving any default of Grantor). Grantor agrees to pay on demand all expenses of Grantee incurred with respect to the foregoing (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date on which Grantee incurs such expenses until reimbursement thereof by Grantor. Any such expenses so incurred by Grantee, together with interest thereon as provided above, shall be additional indebtedness of Grantor secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be determined by Grantee in its discretion. Grantee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing

 

28



 

any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor. Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 1.20 shall be exercisable by Grantee, and any and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Grantee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Grantor with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Grantee after the filing by Grantor of a voluntary case or the filing against Grantor of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable to Grantor, Grantee, any Indemnitor, the Debt or any of the Loan Documents. Grantor hereby indemnifies and holds Grantee harmless from and against all loss, cost and expenses with respect to any Event of Default hereof, any liens (i.e., judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against the Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or injury, including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on the Premises or the Improvements or any nuisance made or suffered thereon, except those that are due to Grantee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, in any case, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and such indemnity shall survive payment in full of the Debt. This Section shall not be construed to require Grantee to incur any expenses, make any appearances or take any actions.

 

1.21                        Security Interest.

 

This Security Instrument is also intended to encumber and create a security interest in, and Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in, all sums on deposit with Grantee pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6, Section 1.7, Section 1.8 and Section 1.34 hereof or any other Section hereof or of any other Loan Document and all fixtures, chattels, accounts, equipment, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles and other personal property included within the Property, all renewals, replacements of any of the aforementioned items, or articles in substitution therefor or in addition thereto or the proceeds thereof (said property is hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral”), whether or not the same shall be attached to the Premises or the Improvements in any manner. It is hereby agreed that to the extent permitted by law, all of the foregoing property is to be deemed and held to be a part of and affixed to the Premises and the Improvements. The foregoing security interest shall also cover Grantor’s leasehold interest in any of the foregoing property which is leased by Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the foregoing property shall be owned by Grantor and no leasing or installment sales or other financing or title retention agreement in connection therewith shall be permitted without the prior written approval of Grantee. Grantor shall, from time to time upon the request of Grantee, supply Grantee with a current inventory of all of the property in which Grantee is granted a security interest hereunder, in such detail as Grantee may reasonably require. Grantor shall promptly replace all of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Security Instrument when worn or obsolete with Collateral comparable to the worn out or obsolete Collateral when new and will not, without the prior written consent of Grantee, remove

 

29



 

from the Premises or the Improvements any of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Security Instrument except such as is replaced by an article of equal suitability and value as above provided, owned by Grantor free and clear of any lien or security interest except that created by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All of the Collateral shall be kept at the location of the Premises except as otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents. Grantor shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of any applicable statute, ordinance or insurance policy.

 

Grantor warrants that (i) Grantor’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) name, identity or organizational structure, and residence or principal place of business are as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto; (ii) Grantor (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name, identity or organizational structure without change from the date of its formation; and (iii) the location of the collateral is upon the Land. Grantor covenants and agrees that Grantor will furnish Grantee with notice of any change in the matters addressed by clauses (i) and (iii) of this paragraph within thirty (30) days of the effective date of any such change and Grantor will promptly execute any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Grantee to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

 

1.22                        Security Agreement.

 

This Security Instrument constitutes a security agreement between Grantor and Grantee with respect to the Collateral in which Grantee is granted a security interest hereunder, and, cumulative of all other rights and remedies of Grantee hereunder, Grantee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Grantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Grantee the attorney-in-fact of Grantor to execute and deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing officer or office, such security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments as Grantee may request or require in order to impose, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien or security interest created hereby. To the extent specifically provided herein, Grantee shall have the right of possession of all cash, securities, instruments, negotiable instruments, documents, certificates and any other evidences of cash or other property or evidences of rights to cash rather than property, which are now or hereafter a part of the Property, and Grantor shall promptly deliver the same to Grantee, endorsed to Grantee, without further notice from Grantee. Grantor agrees to furnish Grantee with notice of any change in the name, identity, organizational structure, residence, or principal place of business or mailing address of Grantor within ten (10) days of the effective date of any such change. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Grantee shall have the rights and remedies as prescribed in this Security Instrument, or as prescribed by general law, or as prescribed by any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, all at Grantee’s election. Any disposition of the Collateral may be conducted by an employee or agent of Grantee. Any person, including both Grantor and Grantee, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of the Collateral at any such disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like (including, without limitation, Grantee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Grantee shall have

 

30



 

the right to enter upon the Premises and the Improvements or any real property where any of the property which is the subject of the security interest granted herein is located to take possession of, assemble and collect the same or to render it unusable, or Grantor, upon demand of Grantee, shall assemble such property and make it available to Grantee at the Premises, or at a place which is mutually agreed upon or, if no such place is agreed upon, at a place reasonably designated by Grantee to be reasonably convenient to Grantee and Grantor. If notice is required by law, Grantee shall give Grantor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such property, or adjournments thereof, or of the time of or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Grantor, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to Grantor. No such notice is necessary for any such property which is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with a foreclosure sale as provided in Section 3.1(e) hereof upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Property hereunder as is required under said Section 3.l(e). Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for the rights and remedies available to Grantee pursuant to any applicable Uniform Commercial Code:

 

(a)                                  In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Property may, at the option of Grantee, be sold as a whole; and

 

(b)                                 It shall not be necessary that Grantee take possession of the aforementioned Collateral, or any part thereof, prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that said Collateral, or any part thereof, be present at the location of such sale; and

 

(c)                                  Grantee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Grantee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Grantee.

Grantor shall not grant any easement or right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Premises or the Improvements without the prior written consent of Grantee. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder may, at its discretion, disaffirm any easement or right-of-way granted in violation of any of the provisions of this Security Instrument and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or right-of-way. If Grantee consents to the grant of an easement or right-of-way, Grantee agrees to grant such consent without charge to Grantor other than expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Grantee in the review of Grantor’s request and in the preparation of documents effecting the subordination.

 

1.24                        Compliance with Laws.

 

Grantor shall at all times comply with all statutes, ordinances, regulations and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants now or hereafter relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property, including, but not limited to, those concerning employment and compensation of persons engaged in operation and maintenance of the Property and any environmental or ecological requirements, even if such compliance shall require structural changes to the Property; provided, however, that, Grantor may, upon providing Grantee with security satisfactory to Grantee, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any such statute, ordinance, regulation or requirement so long as during such contest the Property shall not be subject to any lien, charge, fine or other liability and shall not be in danger of being forfeited, lost or closed. Grantor shall not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Lease of or any other agreement applicable to the Property or any applicable law, rule, regulation or order or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto.

 

1.25                        Additional Taxes.

 

In the event of the enactment after the date hereof of any law of the state in which the Property is located or of any other governmental entity deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxing any lien or security interest thereon, or imposing upon Grantee the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Grantor, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust, mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by deeds of trust, mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the Grantee, mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to adversely affect this Security Instrument or the Debt or Grantee, then, and in any such event, Grantor, upon demand by Grantee, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or liens, or reimburse Grantee therefor; provided, however, that if in the opinion of counsel for Grantee (a) it might be unlawful to require Grantor to make such payment, or (b) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then and in either such event, Grantee may elect, by notice in writing given to Grantor, to declare all of the Debt to be

 

32



 

and become due and payable in full thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice, and, in connection with the payment of such Debt, no prepayment premium or fee shall be due unless, at the time of such payment, an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred, which Default or Event of Default is unrelated to the provisions of this Section 1.25, in which event any applicable prepayment premium or fee in accordance with the terms of the Note shall be due and payable.

 

1.26                        Secured Indebtedness.

 

It is understood and agreed that this Security Instrument shall secure payment of not only the indebtedness evidenced by the Note but also any and all substitutions, replacements, renewals and extensions of the Note, any and all indebtedness and obligations arising pursuant to the terms hereof and any and all indebtedness and obligations arising pursuant to the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, all of which indebtedness is equally secured with and has the same priority as any amounts advanced as of the date hereof. It is agreed that any future advances made by Grantee to or for the benefit of Grantor from time to time under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents and whether or not such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Grantee, or otherwise, made for any purpose, within twenty (20) years from the date hereof, and all interest accruing thereon, shall be equally secured by this Security Instrument and shall have the same priority as all amounts, if any, advanced as of the date hereof and shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument.

 

1.27                        Grantor’s Waivers.

 

To the full extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees that Grantor shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension, or any law now or hereafter in force providing for the reinstatement of the Debt prior to any sale of the Property to be made pursuant to any provisions contained herein or prior to the entering of any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or any right under any statute to redeem all or any part of the Property so sold. Grantor, for Grantor and Grantor’s successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the full extent permitted by law, hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of competent counsel: (a) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights of valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement and notice of election or intention to mature or declare due the Debt (except such notices as are specifically provided for herein); (b) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all right to a marshaling of the assets of Grantor, including the Property, to a sale in the inverse order of alienation, or to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such liens and security interests may order the Property sold as an entirety; and (c) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights and periods of redemption provided under applicable law. To the full extent permitted by law, Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the exemption of homestead or other exemption under any federal, state or local law now or hereafter in effect, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Grantee under the terms of this Security Instrument to a sale of the Property, for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different

 

33



 

resort for collection, or the right of Grantee under the terms of this Security Instrument to the payment of the Debt out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. Furthermore, Grantor hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of competent counsel, waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all present and future statutes of limitations as a defense to any action to enforce the provisions of this Security Instrument or to collect any of the Debt to the fullest extent permitted by law. Grantor covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Grantor, Grantor shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise shall not seek pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Grantee to enforce any rights of Grantee against any guarantor or indemnitor of the secured obligations or any other party liable with respect thereto by virtue of any indemnity, guaranty or otherwise.

Grantor shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Grantor or any Tenant in the ordinary course of their respective businesses and except in compliance with all Environmental Laws and where such could not reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws) and in compliance with all Environmental Laws. Grantor shall not install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all Tenants in quantities or conditions that would violate or give rise to any obligation to take remedial or other action under any applicable Environmental Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the term of this Security Instrument, Grantor shall not install in the Improvements or permit to be installed in the Improvements any asbestos or asbestos- containing asbestos.

 

(e)                                  Grantor shall promptly notify Grantee if Grantor shall become aware of (i) the actual or potential existence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property other than those occurring in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business and which do not violate, or would not otherwise give rise to liability under Environmental Laws, (ii) any direct or indirect violation of, or other exposure to liability under, any Environmental Laws, (iii) any lien, action or notice affecting the Property or Grantor resulting from any violation or alleged violation of or liability or alleged liability under any Environmental Laws, (iv) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Grantor or the Property pursuant to any Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (v) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Security Instrument incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery. Immediately upon receipt of same, Grantor shall deliver to Grantee copies of any and all requests for information, complaints, citations, summonses, orders, notices, reports or other communications, documents or instruments in any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability of any nature whatsoever arising under Environmental Laws and relating to the Property or to Grantor. Indemnitors shall remedy or cause to be remedied in a timely manner (and in any event within the time period permitted by applicable Environmental Laws) any violation of Environmental Laws or any condition that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor shall, promptly and regardless of the source of the contamination or threat to the environment or human health, at its own expense, take all actions as shall be necessary or prudent, for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to Grantee) and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Grantee, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies

 

37



 

which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Grantor fails to do so, Grantee may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Grantor hereby grants to Grantee and its agents and employees access to the Property and a license to remove any items deemed by Grantee to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Grantee shall deem necessary to bring the Property into conformance with Environmental Laws.

 

(f)                                    Grantor covenants and agrees, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Grantee), and hold Grantee harmless from and against any and all liens, damages (including without limitation, punitive or exemplary damages), losses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liability), obligations, settlement payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Grantee or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (i) any violation or alleged violation of, or liability or alleged liability under, any Environmental Law; (ii) the presence, release or threat of release of or exposure to any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Grantor; (iii) any transport, treatment, recycling, storage, disposal or arrangement therefor of Hazardous Substances whether on the Property, originating from the Property, or otherwise associated with Grantor or any operations conducted on the Property at any time; (iv) the failure by Grantor to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.31; (v) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Section 1.31; (vi) the enforcement of this Section 1.31, including, without limitation, the cost of assessment, investigation, containment, removal and/or remediation of any and all Hazardous Substances from all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, the cost of any actions taken in response to the presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such release or threat of release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas. The indemnity set forth in this Section 1.31 shall also include any diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Property or any future reduction in the sales price of the Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 1.31. The foregoing indemnity shall specifically not include any such costs relating to Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on, in or under the Property after foreclosure or other taking of title to the Property by Grantee or its successors or assigns. Grantee’s rights under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Debt and shall be in addition to all other rights of Grantee under this Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

38



 

(g)                                 Upon Grantee’s request, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or at such other time as Grantee has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on the Property, or on property contiguous with the Property, or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Grantor shall perform or cause to be performed, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and in scope, form and substance satisfactory to Grantee, an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by Grantee indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property, the compliance or non-compliance status of the Property and the operations conducted thereon with applicable Environmental Laws, or an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Grantee indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos or lead or substances containing lead or lead based paint (“Lead Based Paint”) on the Property. If Grantor fails to provide reports of such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Grantee may order the same, and Grantor hereby grants to Grantee and its employees and agents access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be immediately paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

 

(h)                                 Reference is made to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith by and among Grantor, the indemnitor named therein and Grantee (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”). The provisions of this Security Instrument and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be read together to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject matter thereof, as determined by Grantee.

 

(i)                                     [Reserved].

 

(j)                                     If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, Grantor had prepared an assessment report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a “Lead Based Paint Report”). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is suspected of being present on the Property, Grantor agrees, at its sole cost and expense and within twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Grantee.

 

(k)                                  Grantor agrees that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter it is, determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Grantee (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the “O&M Plan”). (If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Grantor agrees to diligently and continually carry out (or cause

 

39



 

to be carried out) the provisions thereof.) Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.

 

1.32                        Indemnification; Subrogation.

 

(a)                                  Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Grantee harmless against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Property or the Debt, and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Grantee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Grantee in connection with the Debt, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Grantee of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Security Instrument; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Grantee from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Grantee by reason of Grantee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

(b)                                 If Grantee is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Grantee concerning the Debt, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Grantee harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Grantee in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If Grantee commences an action against Grantor to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Grantor of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Grantor shall pay to Grantee its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The right to such attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Grantor breaches any term of this Security Instrument, Grantee may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by Grantor, Grantor shall pay Grantee reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Grantee, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Grantor by reason of such breach. All references to “attorneys” in this subsection and elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include, without limitation, any attorney or law firm engaged by Grantee and Grantee’s in-house counsel, and all references to “fees and expenses” in this subsection and elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include, without limitation, any fees of such attorney or law firm, any appellate counsel fees, if applicable, and any allocation charges and allocation costs of Grantee’s in-house counsel.

 

(c)                                  A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Grantor from its insurance carrier and, consequently, Grantor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Grantee, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Grantor, the Property, Grantor’s property or the property of others under Grantor’s control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Security Instrument.

ARTICLE III

 

REMEDIES

 

3.1                               Remedies Available.

 

If there shall occur an Event of Default under this Security Instrument, then this Security Instrument is subject to foreclosure as provided by law and Grantee may, at its option and by or through a trustee, nominee, assignee or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses, either successively or concurrently:

 

(a)                                  Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.

 

(b)                                 Entry on the Property. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Grantor hereby waives such notice and process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be desirable or necessary in Grantee’s judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Premises, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof, and all sums expended by Grantee therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Grantee by Grantor on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

 

(c)                                  Collect Rents. With or without taking possession of the Property, sue or otherwise collect the Rents, including those past due and unpaid.

 

(d)                                 Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Debt or the solvency of Grantor or any person or persons liable for the payment of the Debt, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application therefor by Grantee, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Grantee of any other right, remedy or privilege Grantee may now have

 

45



 

under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Grantee to receive payment of the Rents pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Grantee, continue until full payment of all of the Debt or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Security Instrument or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

 

(e)                                  Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action to foreclose this Security Instrument or to specifically enforce its provisions with respect to any of the Debt, pursuant to the statutes in such case made and provided, and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Grantee. In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted by Grantee, all expenses incident to such proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Grantor and secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The Debt and all other obligations secured by this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate, any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other amounts due and unpaid to Grantee under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Grantee in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder. In the event of a judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and agreed that Grantee or its assigns may become the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof.

 

(f)                                    Judicial Remedies. Proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, instituted by or on behalf of Grantee, to enforce the payment of the Debt or the other obligations of Grantor hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Security Instrument as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other non-judicial remedies available to Grantee with respect to the Loan Documents. Proceeding with the request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of Grantee.

 

(g)                                 Other. Exercise any other right or remedy available hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity.

 

3.2                               Application of Proceeds.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any sale under this Security Instrument shall be applied, to the extent funds are so available, to the following items in such order as Grantee in its discretion may determine:

 

46



 

(a)                                  To payment of the reasonable costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of otherwise enforcing Grantee’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers’ fees, court costs, attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.

 

(b)                                 To payment of all sums expended by Grantee under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Interest Rate.

 

(c)                                  To payment of the Debt and all other obligations secured by this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal, in any order that Grantee chooses in its sole discretion.

 

(d)                                 The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Grantor or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

 

3.3                               Right and Authority of Receiver or Grantee in the Event of Default; Power of Attorney.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and entry upon the Property pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof or appointment of a receiver pursuant to Section 3.1(d) hereof, and under such terms and conditions as may be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances in Grantee’s or the receiver’s sole discretion, all at Grantor’s expense, Grantee or said receiver, or such other persons or entities as they shall hire, direct or engage, as the case may be, may do or permit one or more of the following, successively or concurrently: (a) enter upon and take possession and control of any and all of the Property; (b) take and maintain possession of all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating to the Property; (c) exclude Grantor and its agents, servants and employees wholly from the Property; (d) manage and operate the Property; (e) preserve and maintain the Property; (f) make repairs and alterations to the Property; (g) complete any construction or repair of the Improvements, with such changes, additions or modifications of the plans and specifications or intended disposition and use of the Improvements as Grantee may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to place the Property in such condition as will, in Grantee’s sole discretion, make it or any part thereof readily marketable or rentable; (h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with respect to the Property, or employ a marketing or leasing agent or agents to do so, directed to the leasing or sale of the Property under such terms and conditions as Grantee may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable; (i) employ such contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers, consultants, managers, brokers, marketing agents, or other employees, agents, independent contractors or professionals, as Grantee may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the rights and powers herein granted; (j) execute and deliver, in the name of Grantee as attorney-in-fact and agent of Grantor or in its own name as Grantee, such documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate to consummate authorized transactions; (k) enter such leases, whether of real or personal property, or tenancy agreements, under such terms and conditions as Grantee may in its sole discretion deem

This Security Instrument shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any lessee, or other third party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Grantor or Grantee, at the request of Grantee, to pay all amounts owing under any lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement to Grantee without proof of the Event of Default relied upon. Any such lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Grantor in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Grantee for the payment to Grantee of any Rents or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Security Instrument or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing. Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Grantor’s name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding. Any money advanced by Grantee in connection with any action taken under this Section 3.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such advancement by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor, shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor to Grantee and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by every other instrument securing all or any portion of the Debt.

 

3.4                               Occupancy After Foreclosure.

 

In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Grantor or Grantor’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Grantor (except tenants of space in the Improvements subject to leases entered into prior to the date hereof), are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Grantee or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for

 

48



 

unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Premises is located.

 

3.5                               Notice to Account Debtors.

 

Grantee may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Grantor included in the Property to pay Grantee directly. Grantor shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Grantee provide to Grantee a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.

 

3.6                               Cumulative Remedies.

 

All remedies contained in this Security Instrument are cumulative and Grantee shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Grantee and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Grantee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Security Instrument to the exclusion of any other provision of this Security Instrument or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Grantee. No delay or failure by Grantee to exercise any right or remedy under this Security Instrument shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default. Grantee may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.

 

3.7                               Payment of Expenses.

 

Grantor shall pay on demand all of Grantee’s expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Security Instrument, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Grantee until actually paid by Grantor at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

 

3.8                               Fair Market Value. The “fair market value” of the Property shall be determined as of the foreclosure date in order to enforce a deficiency against Grantor or any other party liable for the repayment of the indebtedness secured hereby, the term “fair market value” shall include those matters required by applicable law and shall also include the additional factors as follows:

 

(a)                                  The Property is to be valued “AS IS, WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” and there shall be no assumption of restoration of or refurbishment of the Property after the date of foreclosure;

 

49



 

(b)                                 There shall be an assumption of a prompt resale of the Property for an all cash sales price by the purchaser at the foreclosure so that no extensive holding period should be factored into the determination of “fair market value” of the Property;

 

(c)                                  An offset to the fair market value of the Property, as determined hereunder, shall be made by deducting from such value the reasonable estimated closing costs relating to the sale of the Property, including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions, title policy expenses, tax prorations, escrow fees, and other common charges which are incurred by a seller of real property similar to the Property; and

 

(d)                                 After consideration of the factors required by law and those required above, an additional discount factor shall be calculated based upon the estimated time it will take to effectuate a sale of the Property so that the “fair market value” as so determined is discounted to be as of the date of the foreclosure of the Property.

Acceptance by Grantee of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of an Event of Default. In case Grantee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Grantee shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor and Grantee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan

4.30                        Maximum Interest.

 

The provisions of this Security Instrument and of all agreements between Grantor and Grantee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid (“Interest”) to Grantee for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Grantor and Grantee shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Grantee shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Grantee, be paid over to Grantor, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Grantee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section will control all agreements between Grantor and Grantee.

 

4.31                        Interest Payable by Grantee.

 

Grantee shall cause funds in the Replacement Reserve to be deposited into interest bearing accounts of the type customarily maintained by Grantee or its servicing agent for the investment of similar reserves, which accounts may not yield the highest interest rate then available. Interest payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding balance in the Replacement Reserve. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-compounded interest basis based solely on contributions made to the Replacement Reserve by Grantor. All interest earned on amounts contributed to the Replacement Reserve shall be retained by Grantee and accumulated for the benefit of Grantor and added to the balance in the Replacement Reserve and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which other funds in the Replacement Reserve are to be disbursed.

 

4.32                        Dissemination of Information.

 

If Grantee determines at any time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant participations therein (the “Participations”) or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”), Grantee may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee,

 

57



 

servicer, participant, investor, or their respective successors in such Participations and/or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor and each of the foregoing’s respective counsel, all documents and information which Grantee now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Grantor, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor and the Property, which shall have been furnished by Grantor, any Guarantor, or any Indemnitor, as Grantee determines necessary or desirable.

 

4.33                        Secondary Market.

 

Grantee may sell, transfer and deliver the Loan Documents to one or more Investors in the secondary mortgage market. In connection with such sale, Grantee may retain or assign responsibility for servicing the loan or may delegate some or all of such responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to, any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors. All references to Grantee herein shall refer to and include, without limitation, any such servicer, to the extent applicable.

 

4.34                        Certain Matters Relating to Property Located in the State of Georgia.

 

With respect to the Property which is located in the State of Georgia, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:

 

Power of Sale.                     (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantee, or the agent or successor of Grantee, may, at its option, sell or offer for sale the Property in such portions, order and parcels as Grantee may determine with or without having first taken possession of same, to the highest bidder for cash at one or more public sales in accordance with the terms and provisions of the law of the State of Georgia. Such sale shall be made at the area within the courthouse of the county in which the Property (or any portion thereof to be sold) is situated (whether the parts or parcels thereof, if any, in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the necessity of having any personal property hereby secured present at such sale) which is designated by the applicable court of such county as the area in which public sales are to take place, or, if no such area is designated, at the area at the courthouse designated in the notice of sale as the area in which the sale will take place, on such day and at such times as permitted under applicable law of the State of Georgia, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale and that portion of the Property in accordance herewith and such law, and after having served written or printed notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each borrower obligated to pay the Note and other secured indebtedness secured by this Security Deed according to the records of Grantee in accordance with applicable law. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service. The time, place and terms of any such sale shall be advertised once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks, immediately prior to the date of sale (but without regard to the number of days elapsed intervening between the date of publication of the first advertisement and the date of sale) in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county. In the event of any such public sale pursuant to the aforesaid power of sale and agency, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession of the Property to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver in the name of Grantor to the purchaser a conveyance of the Property or any part of the Property in fee simple. Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title and equity that Grantor may have in and to the Property and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the Debt and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Debt. In the event of any sale under this Deed by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Property may be sold in its entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Grantee in its sole discretion may elect, and if Grantee so elects, Grantee may sell the personal property covered by this Deed at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code of Georgia, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until all the Property is sold or the Note and other secured indebtedness is paid in full. If the Note and other secured indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, deeds to secure debt or deeds of trust, pledges, contracts or guaranty, assignments of lease, or other security instruments, Grantee at its option may exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Grantee may determine.

 

(b)                                 Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under the power herein granted, Grantee may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Debt as a credit to the purchase price.

 

(c)                                  In the event of a foreclosure or a sale of all or any portion of the Property under the power herein granted, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, in whatever order Grantee in its sole discretion may decide, to the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges (including, without limitation, utility charges advanced by Grantee), to payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Debt, and to the accrued interest on all of the foregoing; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Grantor, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto.

 

4.35                        WAIVER OF NOTICE AND HEARING.

 

GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO NOTICE OR TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY PROVIDED BY THIS SECURITY DEED AND GRANTOR WAIVES ITS RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO SET ASIDE OR

 

59



 

INVALIDATE ANY SALE DULY CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY DEED ON THE GROUND (IF SUCH BE THE CASE) THAT THE SALE WAS CONSUMMATED WITHOUT A PRIOR JUDICIAL HEARING. ALL WAIVERS BY GRANTOR IN THIS PARAGRAPH HAVE BEEN VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY, AFTER THE GRANTOR HAS BEEN FIRST INFORMED BY COUNSEL OF ITS OWN CHOOSING AS TO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS, AND HAVE BEEN AS AN INTENTIONAL RELINQUISHMENT AND ABANDONMENT OF A KNOWN RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE.

 

4.36                        Attorneys’ Fee.

 

When used herein and in the other Loan Documents, the phrase “attorneys’ fees and expenses” shall mean attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred without the benefit of statutory presumption.

5.                                       ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

 

5.1                                 Seller shall be entitled to all income produced from the operation of the Property which is allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date and shall be responsible for all expenses allocable to that period; and Buyer shall be entitled to all income and responsible for all expenses allocable to the period beginning at 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date. At Closing, all items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be prorated in accordance with the foregoing provisions and the rules for the specific items set forth hereafter:

 

5.1.1                        Seller shall arrange for a billing under all those Service Contracts for which fees are based on usage and with utility companies for a billing for utilities, to include all utilities or service used up to the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay the resultant bills. In the event any of the Service Contracts set forth in Exhibit 3 cover periods beyond the Closing Date the same shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

5.1.2                        Real estate taxes, general, special and/or betterment assessments and personal property taxes shall be prorated for those taxes which are due and payable as of the Closing Date. In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used; and after the Closing occurs and when the actual amount of taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such taxes will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes.

 

5.1.3                        Rentals and other payments (other than “percentage rent” and common area maintenance charges which are dealt with in Section 5.1.4 and Section 5.1.6) which are payable pursuant to Space Leases shall be prorated on a per diem basis as and when collected (subject to the provisions of Section 5.3). Buyer shall not be obligated to make any payment or give any credit to Seller on account of or by reason of any rental or other payments which are unpaid as of the Closing Date, but shall be required to turn over Seller’s share of the same within ten (10) days if, as and when received by Buyer after the Closing; likewise, Seller agrees to turn over Buyer’s share of any payments received from tenants applicable to any period from and after the date of Closing within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt of same; this provision shall survive Closing.

 

5.1.4                        Percentage rent; if any, payable under each Space Lease shall be prorated with respect to the lease year thereunder in which Closing occurs on a per diem basis as and when collected. Any percentage rent collected by Buyer including any percentage rent which is delinquent and pertaining to (i) an entire lease year or accounting period of a tenant under a Space Lease which ends on a date prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) that portion of a lease year or accounting period of such tenant covering a period prior to the Closing Date where such lease year or accounting period begins prior to the Closing Date and ends thereafter shall in both cases be paid to Seller within ten (10) days of receipt by Buyer; and if any tenant’s Space Lease provides for offsets or deductions against percentage rent, then such offsets or deductions shall be prorated in the same manner as the percentage rent itself is prorated. This provision shall survive Closing.

 

5.1.5                        Gas, water, electricity, heat, fuel, sewer and other utilities charges to which Section 5.1.1 cannot be applied, and the governmental licenses, permits and inspection fees and operating expenses relating to the Shopping Center (expressly excluding therefrom, however, such expenses relating to the initial construction of the Shopping Center), shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

5.1.6                        Common area maintenance expenses and charges shall be prorated. Seller shall be responsible for all common area expenses and charges incurred prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for the same accruing on and subsequent to the Closing Date. All common area expense payments made by each tenant and such charges paid under its Space Lease for the entire lease year during which the Closing occurs, including end-of-year adjustments, if any, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer in the following manner: Not later than three (3) days prior to

 

4



 

Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, with regard to each Shopping Center tenant required to pay common area charges (“CAM Charges”) under its lease, a detailed computation showing all CAM Charge expenses incurred by Seller for the period from the beginning of each such tenant’s then current billing period for CAM Charges (e.g., calendar year, lease year, etc.) through the Closing Date, any CAM estimated payments or charges collected by Seller relating to such tenant (hereinafter “CAM Estimates”), and a bill for the tenant’s pro rata share of CAM Charges (i.e., for CAM charges through the Closing Date net of any such CAM Estimates held by Seller), together with all invoices and other evidence documenting such CAM Charges in detail required by such tenant’s lease. Buyer shall send any such bills to tenants promptly following Closing, in which event such tenant shall pay any amount shown due directly to Seller, and except as otherwise stated in Section 5.3.3 below Buyer shall have no responsibility to collect same. However, if any tenant rightfully refuses to pay such bill for CAM Charges due through the Closing Date, then Buyer shall resubmit such bill to any such tenant at the same time as Buyer next submits Buyer’s own bill to any such tenant; and any payment thereafter made by any such tenant on account of CAM Charges shall belong to and be forwarded within ten (10) days of its receipt to Seller until Seller’s bill is paid in full.

 

Any CAM Estimates for any tenant shall be retained by Seller up to the amount of the pre-Closing CAM Charges payable by such tenant as evidenced by such bills and computations delivered by Seller at Closing, and Buyer shall receive a credit for any excess CAM Estimates collected by Seller.

 

5.1.7                        All prepaid rentals, other prepaid payments(other than monthly real estate tax estimates or installments), security deposits paid pursuant to Space Leases, electric, gas, sewer and water deposits deposited with Seller by tenants, (including any accrued interest required under any Space Lease on all of the foregoing, unless Seller is entitled to retain the benefit thereof) under any Space Leases, license agreements or concession agreements relating to the Property, shall all belong to Buyer and all shall be assigned and delivered to Buyer at Closing, whereupon Seller shall be released from all liability with respect thereto. At Seller’s option, Buyer shall receive a cash credit in the amount of all Security Deposits to be delivered to Buyer at Closing, and Seller may retain same.

 

5.1.8                        Buyer shall not be responsible for any charges, salaries, vacation pay or fringe benefits of employees of Seller prior to or following the Closing and none of the foregoing shall be prorated.

 

5.2                                 All prorations and payments to be made under the foregoing provisions shall be made on the basis of a written statement or statements delivered to Buyer by Seller and approved by Buyer. In the event any prorations, apportionments or computation shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, provided that it makes written demand on the one from who it is entitled to such adjustment within two (2) years after the erroneous payment or computation was made; this provision shall survive Closing.

 

5.3                                 All accounts receivable flowing from the Property shall be treated as follows:

 

5.3.1                        Buyer and Seller agree to treat all base or minimum rental payments received from a tenant as applicable to base or minimum rent which was owed by that tenant, if any, first for the month prior to the month in which Closing occurs and next for the month in which Closing occurs until the base or minimum rental amount due to Seller for such periods have been collected. In the event that there remains any unpaid base or minimum rent for a period prior to such periods, all payments of base or minimum rent received from such tenant shall be applied to sums owed Buyer before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller. In the event that there remains any unpaid tenant receivable other than base or minimum rent (including without limitation any tax, CAM, insurance or percentage rent payments) for any period prior to Closing, all payments received from any tenant in arrears (whether base or minimum rent or any other amount) shall be applied first to any such sums owed Buyer from such tenant before any part thereof shall be treated as belonging to Seller.

 

5.3.2                        In the event that any tenant of Seller or Buyer shall hereafter apply or shall have heretofore applied for relief under the provisions of any bankruptcy or similar laws for the protection of debtors, the provisions of Section 5.3.1 shall not apply, and the parties shall have the right to seek collection of their respective accounts, their entitlements being determined by the Closing and the other provisions of this Agreement. Neither party shall have the right to enter into any transactions that purport to compromise claims belonging to the other, without the other party’s prior written consent.

 

5.3.3                        “If at the Closing Date any tenants owe Seller any money (i.e. reimbursements to Seller for payment of liens or violations on the Property that were created by tenant(s) but that Seller is required hereunder to satisfy in order to effectuate the sale of the Property or rent arrears (which shall include CAM and tax reimbursements)), Seller shall have

 

5



 

the right, subsequent to the Closing, to collect such sums directly from the tenants, including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Seller’s sole expense) for such collection (except that Seller is prohibited from bringing a lawsuit against any tenant(s) to collect rent in arrears for a period of thirty (30) days after such dispute or arrears has arisen (the “Buyer Collection Period”); instead Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such arrears on Seller’s behalf, if Buyer is unsuccessful in collecting the tenant arrears by the expiration of the Buyer Collection Period, then Seller shall have the right to collect such sums directly form the tenants including bringing lawsuits against the tenants (at Sellers sole expense) for such collection, however, Seller agrees that any such legal action or collection shall not include any disturbance of the possession, use or occupancy of the tenants or any right to evict the tenants, whether pursuant to the lease provisions or otherwise, and Buyer shall at Seller’s expense join in any lawsuit and/or also participate or cooperate with Seller in its collection attempts. Buyer will (at Seller’s expense) join in such a lawsuit or action only if the same does not include or require disturbance of the possession of any tenants.”

 

5.3.4                        In the event Seller has granted rent concessions to tenants under space lease(s) that would extend beyond the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive credit for same.

 

5.4                                 Intentionally Deleted.

 

5.5                                 The provisions of this Article 5 will survive Closing.

 

6.                                       TITLE AND SURVEY.

 

6.1                                 Seller shall convey and Buyer shall accept, subject to the right of Buyer to review and approve all title matters, documents and plats of record in regard to the condition of title to the Property, title such as the Title Company will be willing to approve and insure subject only to Permitted Exceptions as provided for in this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that it has heretofore received copies of Seller’s existing title insurance policy for the Real Estate (the “Existing Title Policy”) and of Seller’s existing survey of the Real Estate (the “Existing Survey”). Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer may (if it so elects) obtain(see Section 6.4 for allocation of costs) updates of the Existing Survey to the certification standards described upon the Surveyor’s certification attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and made a part hereof (such updated survey hereinafter referred to as the “Updated Survey”); if Buyer does obtain such an Updated Survey, Buyer shall cause it to be certified to Seller and Buyer shall promptly furnish Buyer, Seller and the Title Company with a copy thereof. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall also (see Section 6.4 for allocation of costs) obtain a commitment for ALTA Form B Leasehold Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”); and Buyer shall promptly cause the Title Company to furnish Seller and Buyer with true accurate and complete copies thereof (including true, accurate and complete copies of all underlying title exception documents referenced therein). Not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall give Seller written notice (“Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice”) of any title exceptions which are contained in the Title Commitment and/or the Survey which are not Permitted Exceptions. Failure by Buyer to give Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice (or to object to any matter referenced in the Title Commitment) to Seller on or before said date shall constitute Buyer’s final and irrevocable approval of the condition of title (and to any such unobjected to matter) in and to the Real Estate. If Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice shall be timely given Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice, to commence to remove, correct, cure or satisfy (provided Seller does in fact elect to so remove, correct, cure or satisfy) any title exceptions that were identified in Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice as not being Permitted Exceptions, it being nevertheless agreed that Seller shall have no obligation to undertake any action or to incur any expense in order to effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction (except that notwithstanding the foregoing Seller shall be required to remove or discharge any fee mortgages or deeds of trust, as well as any other liens in an ascertainable dollar amount). In the event that Seller elects not to attempt to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matters raised in Buyer’s Title/Survey Notice, or if having elected to do so, does not within thirty (30) days thereafter, (or such additional time as is reasonably necessary (not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days without Buyer’s written consent) to remove, correct, cure or satisfy the matter(s) so raised using commercially reasonable good faith efforts) effectuate any such removal, correction, cure or satisfaction as aforesaid (hereinafter called “title correction”), Buyer shall have the right at its sole option either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability hereunder, or (b) to accept such title as is disclosed by the Title Commitment and/or Survey without title correction and without Survey correction and without any reduction to the Purchase Price, thereby waiving any rights against Seller with respect thereto. Said election shall be made by Buyer within three (3) days following Buyer’s receipt of written notification by Seller that Seller has not effectuated (or has elected not to effectuate) title correction. In the event that Seller (even though under no duty to do so) shall undertake title correction and/or Survey correction as aforesaid, and shall be successful, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Buyer shall close the transaction

 

6



 

contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that Seller shall only be partially successful in obtaining title and/or Survey correction, Buyer shall have the same alternative rights as Buyer would have in the event Seller had declined to seek title and/or Survey correction (as set forth above). Buyer shall make its election within three (3) days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller to Buyer of the extent to which title and/or the Survey has been corrected.

 

6.2                                 If at the Closing Date there may be any liens or encumbrances which render title unmarketable or otherwise are not permitted title exceptions hereunder, and which Seller is obligated or desires to pay and discharge, Seller may use any portion of the balance of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided Seller shall simultaneously either deliver to Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such liens and encumbrances of record together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments; or provided that Seller has made arrangements with the title company in advance of Closing, Seller will deposit with said company sufficient monies, acceptable to and required by it to insure obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions and the issuance of title insurance to Buyer either free of any such liens and encumbrances, or with insurance against enforcement of same out of the insured premises. The existence of any such liens and encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title, if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. Unpaid liens for taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments which are the obligation of Seller to satisfy and discharge shall be objections to title, and thus the amount thereof, plus interest and penalties thereon, shall be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid hereunder and allowed to Buyer, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes, water charges and sewer rents contained herein. Unpaid franchise tax of any entity in the chain of title to which such tax is applicable, or estate, income or other taxes which may be liens against the Property as of the Closing Date shall not be an objection to title, provided the title company agrees to insure against the collection of said taxes from the Property and in such event if required by the title company, Seller agrees to deposit at Closing with the title company an amount deemed reasonable by it to secure the payment of such unpaid franchise tax, or other tax.

 

6.3                                 In the event that Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if any representation of Seller herein is untrue in a material respect on the Closing Date and Seller does not correct same (it being understood Seller will be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of Closing for such purpose, not to exceed fifteen (15) days), the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer any amount paid on account of the Purchase Price; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled, neither party shall have any further claim against the other by reason of this Agreement, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8.

 

6.4                                 The costs of obtaining the Title Commitment, the policy of title insurance to issue at Closing (in form subject to Buyer’s sole discretion, and agreed to prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period) with premium up to the amount of the Purchase Price “Basic Title Policy” shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller. The costs of any excess coverage or endorsements including, but not limited to, Zoning 3.1; Survey; Access, Usury, Location, Tax ID, Contiguity, EPA, Comprehensive and Doing Business, to the extent available or applicable (the “Title Endorsements”), shall be borne by Buyer (Basic Title Policy plus endorsements shall be referred to collectively as the “Title Policy”) and expressly excluding therefrom, however, the costs to release any monetary encumbrance affecting the Property and any title curative endorsements which shall be borne by Seller. All costs of the survey shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.

 

7.                                       DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR REQUIRED ALTERATION.

 

7.1 Prior to Closing, in the event of any damage to or destruction of all or part of the Real Estate (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable following its occurrence), then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to adjourn the Closing Date for up to sixty (60) days in order to repair or replace such damage or destruction, except that if the cost of such repair or replacement exceeds ten percent of the Purchase Price, then in any such case (i) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of its intention to do so, such notice by Buyer to Seller to be given not later than three (3) days after Buyer shall have received the notice from Seller of such aforesaid occurrence, (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8); or (ii) if Buyer elects not to (or does not have the right to) terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect except that at Closing Buyer shall receive an abatement of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage (and Seller shall retain all rights to collect insurance proceeds for such loss). Buyer may elect to have its architect provide a good faith estimate of the amount required to repair and restore all unrepaired damage. If Seller’s estimate disagrees with Buyer’s architect’s estimate, the parties shall select another architect to make a final determination of the amount required to repair and restore all

 

7



 

unrepaired damage and both parties shall be bound by the third architect’s determination. The party whose architect differs most from the third architect’s determination shall pay the third architect’s fee.

 

7.2(a)          In the event that any governmental authority having jurisdiction of all or part of the Real Estate has notified Seller before the Closing that some alteration of or addition to the Real Estate is required to be made by law, rule or regulation (notice of which shall be given to Buyer by Seller as soon as practicable after its receipt) or otherwise requires a cure of a violation, then (subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b)) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake such alteration or addition or cure; provided, however, that if the cost of such alteration or addition or cure shall exceed the sum of one (1%) percent of the Purchase Price, then in such event Seller may either elect to pay the entire cost and cure the same before the Closing or may decline to undertake the same, in which event Buyer shall have the option, exercisable within three (3) days following notice from Seller of the requirement and Seller’s refusal to comply therewith, (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller notice thereof (in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon the Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8); or (ii) if such notice of termination is not timely given, to proceed with the Closing, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Seller’s reasonable good faith estimate of the cost to cure, up to the maximum sum of one percent of the Purchase Price. Buyer may elect to have its engineer provide a good faith estimate of the cost to cure. If Seller’s estimate disagrees with Buyer’s architect’s estimate, the parties shall select a another engineer to make a final determination of the cost to cure and both parties shall be bound by the third engineer’s determination. The party whose engineer differs most from the third engineer’s determination shall pay the third engineer’s fee.

 

(b)              Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.2(a), Seller may elect but shall have no obligation to cure or pay for, any violation which either (i) is first placed (i.e., notice first given to Seller or first placed of record) after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) is the responsibility of a Shopping Center tenant to cure or discharge pursuant to its Space Lease. In the event Seller elects to cure or pay for such violation(s), Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of the violation to commence to cure or pay for same, and shall proceed with diligence to cure same, however, if Seller elects to cure a violation, and Seller reasonably believe that the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) will need to be extended more than thirty (30) days to effectuate the cure, then Seller shall not commence to cure the violation then Buyer may elect to (i) complete the purchase without any adjustment in the Purchase Price or (ii) terminate the Agreement in such event, unless Buyer agrees to the required extension. In the event Seller elects not to cure or pay for such violation, the sole responsibility of Seller will be to refund (or cause to be refunded by the Escrow Agent) to Buyer any amount paid on account of the Purchase Price; upon the making of such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled, neither party shall have any further claim against the other by reason of this Agreement, except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8.

 

8.                                       EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event that any eminent domain proceedings shall be commenced prior to the Closing affecting (i) any of the parking area(s) within the Real Estate or any access roadway serving the Real Estate that is not replaced by an access roadway in a comparable location with respect to the Real Estate; or (ii) which is of such a nature as would permit any tenant occupying leased premises to cancel its Space Lease, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice given to Seller within three (3) days after the event, (in which case the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer, whereupon the Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever). In any case wherein Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8 and Buyer elects not to terminate, or in any case wherein Buyer does not have the right to terminate, Buyer and Seller shall consummate Closing on the Closing Date, without any reduction to or abatement of the Purchase Price, and all theretofore unpaid condemnation awards shall belong to Buyer.

 

9.                                       NO ASSIGNMENT. Buyer shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights under this Agreement without obtaining in each instance Seller’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right, without Seller’s consent, to assign its entire right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, expressly including the Deposit, to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Buyer or Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (an “Affiliate”); provided that, not less than three (3) business days prior to Closing, Seller receives an executed assignment and assumption agreement, in a commercially reasonable form, which expressly assigns the Deposit and in which such assignee expressly assumes performance of this Agreement for the benefit of Seller. No such assignment or designation shall relieve or release Buyer from any obligations under this Agreement (whether arising

 

8



 

pre- or post-closing), and Buyer shall remain jointly and severally liable for all of same together with such assignee.

 

10.                                 COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS. As of the date hereof, and to the best of Seller’s knowledge, Seller covenants, warrants and represents to Buyer the following:

 

10.1                           Seller has obtained any consents from partners and/or shareholders required to permit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including the sale of the Property to Buyer.

 

10.2                           There is no pending or threatened litigation affecting the Property brought by or against Seller that would materially adversely affect Buyer except as set forth in Exhibit 7 attached hereto and made a part hereof. If Seller is served with process or receives notice that litigation relating to the Property has been commenced against it, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any litigation relating to the property involving personal injury or property damage(s) covered by insurance.

On or prior to the Cut Off Date, Seller may take any of the foregoing actions without Buyer’s consent, provided it delivers a copy of any new documentation evidencing same to Buyer not later than three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

11.                                 THE CLOSING.

 

11.1                           The Closing shall be held at the Title Company’s offices (at the address set forth above) at 9:00 A.M. on the Closing Date. The Closing Date shall be December 9, 2004.

 

11.2                           At Closing, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and Buyer shall execute and deliver such other instruments as Seller may reasonably request in connection with or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

11.3                           (A)                              At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the following:

 

(a)                                  A Special Warranty Deed in favor of Buyer for the Real Estate in proper recordable form and duly executed and acknowledged by Seller.

9



 

(c)                                  It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated herein that on or before the third (3rd) business day prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have received an estoppel certificate from each tenant under a Space Lease each such estoppel to be dated not more than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, in either the form required by its Space Lease, or otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10, and made a part hereof, as well as Seller’s estoppel in the form of Exhibit 10. If Seller is unable to obtain any such required estoppel from a tenant prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver its own estoppel in the form attached as Exhibit 10 (provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to accept Seller’s estoppel, which shall survive Closing (but if post-Closing Seller delivers any such tenant estoppel, Seller shall be relieved from responsibility under any Seller estoppel it delivered regarding all matters confirmed by such tenant estoppel). If Seller fails to deliver any such required estoppel, Seller shall have no liability by reason thereof provided, however that Seller shall not be required to deliver its own estoppel containing an assertion that Seller in good faith believes to be untrue, and Buyer’s sole right shall be to terminate this Agreement and to obtain a refund of the Deposit as set forth in Section 14.3. If any estoppel certificate is dated earlier than forty (40) days prior to the Closing Date, in lieu of requiring Seller to obtain a new estoppel from the subject tenant(s), which shall be required of Seller if any estoppel certificate is dated earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer agrees that Seller may deliver, at Closing, its representation that to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the facts in said estoppel remain true in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)                                 Seller shall use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, an estoppel certificate from each party to, or affected by any declaration, association, reciprocal easement, or like agreement affecting the Property (hereinafter “REA estoppel”). Seller will request that the estoppel be in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit 11 and made a part hereof. In the alternative, within five (5) days of the date this Agreement is fully executed by Seller and Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with the necessary information for each REA party such that during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may request the REA estoppel from the REA parties directly. In the event Seller and Buyer are unable to obtain these estoppels despite Seller’s commercially reasonable good faith efforts prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller may deliver and Buyer may accept (although nothing contained herein shall require Buyer to accept), its own estoppel in the form attached as Exhibit 11, which shall survive Closing (but if post-Closing Seller delivers any such REA estoppel, Seller shall be relieved from responsibility under any Seller estoppel it delivered regarding all matters confirmed by such “REA” estoppel).

 

(e)                                  It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated herein that on or before the third (3rd) business day prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have received an assignment of all warranties and guaranties, if available, for materials and workmanship benefiting the Property, including an acknowledgment by the material and/or service provider of the acceptance of the assignment where required by the terms of the warranty and/or guaranty, with all fees and costs of such assignment (and inspection, if required) (not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00)) being paid at the sole cost and expense of Seller; any such costs or fees in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) being shared equally between the parties hereto.

 

(B)                                At Closing, Seller and Buyer shall each execute and deliver to the other the following:

 

(a)                                  An Assignment and Assumption Agreement for the Space Leases in the form of Exhibit 4 attached hereto.

 

(b)                                 An Assignment and Assumption Agreement for the Service Contracts, in the form of Exhibit 5 attached hereto.

 

(c)                                  Notices to tenants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 14, and made a part hereof, notifying them of the sale and (if applicable) the transfer of their security deposit to Buyer.

 

(d)                                 Notice to OEA parties in form required by the OEA.

 

(e)                                  To the extent at closing Seller has not entered into a lease for the space for 2,675 square feet vacancy noted on Exhibit 9, then Seller shall master lease same pursuant to the terms hereof (the “New Vacant Space”) a Master Lease for a term expiring on the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months or (ii) such date as Seller leases the Vacant Space. Lease-up of the Property shall in no event yield an average Fixed Rent and Reimbursements amount that is less than the sum of Fixed Rent and Reimbursements per the Rent Roll. The Master Lease shall be in the form of Exhibit 8 attached hereto and

 

10



 

shall incorporate that portion of the Property vacant space for which a bona fide Space Lease(s) had been executed but have become vacant between the date hereof and the date of Closing with the “Tenant Conditions” (as hereinafter defined) having been satisfied. For the purposes hereof, the Tenant Conditions for any Property vacant space gross leasable area are hereby defined as (i) a signed lease, and (ii) with Tenant either paying full rent and reimbursements or the all conditions precedent to Rent Commencement Date (as defined in such tenant lease) shall have occurred or been satisfied and (iii) with all the leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances either paid for by Seller or credited to Buyer and (iv) with a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent occupancy permit issued by the local governmental authorities, for such tenant’s respective demised premises (v) Tenant shall have open and operated for its permitted use for at lease one day (vi) and Seller obtains an estoppel from Tenant that the delivery conditions (i.e. Landlord Work) has been completed or Seller shall give a Seller estoppel to that effect. If a bona fide Space Lease for the Vacant Space or any portion thereof with the Tenant Conditions satisfied is executed prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall either not enter into a Seller Lease or the applicable provisions thereof (including but not limited to the annual base rent) shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect that portion of the Vacant Space that is leased and thus released and not covered by the Master Lease. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for placing all vacant space in Vanilla Box condition however, it may be satisfied by second generation space in “as is” condition such that a tenant has already occupied same, and needn’t be in “new” condition.

 

11.4                           Each party shall pay its own legal fees and travel and lodging expenses in connection with this transaction. Seller shall pay for all transfer taxes and documentary stamps and the parties shall each pay 1/2 of the recording charges for transfer of title to the Real Estate and the “New York Style” closing escrow fees charged by the Title Company.

 

11.5                           Buyer also agrees to cooperate with Seller to permit the conveyance of the Property to be consummated as a part of a transaction intended by Seller to qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and in conjunction therewith to execute such documents as Seller may reasonably request (such cooperation may include, without limitation, accepting a conveyance from a party other than Seller and paying the Purchase Price to a party other than Seller). In no event, however, shall (a) Buyer bear any expense associated with the exchange transaction, (b) Buyer be obligated to take title to Seller’s exchange property, (c) the consummation of such tax-free exchange materially delay the conveyance to Buyer of the Property, (d) Buyer have any liability to Seller or any other party for the qualification of the exchange transaction for tax-free exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or under any other provision and (e) the consummation of such tax free exchange relieve Seller of any of its obligations hereunder.

14.                                 DEFAULTS.

 

14.1                           If Closing does not take place because of Buyer’s default the Deposit shall be retained by Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages as Seller’s sole remedy for such default, and thereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8). The parties hereto expressly agree that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Buyer would be extremely difficult or impractical to ascertain and that the amount of the Deposit represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of such damages.

 

14.2                           If Closing does not occur due to Seller’s willful default and refusal to close despite Buyer’s willingness to do so (such willingness includes waiver by Buyer of any uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1 or material breach of representation or warranty by Seller) (such willful default and refusal being hereinafter referred to as a “Seller Default”), then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy as a result of such Seller Default, may elect to either (i) cancel this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall be liable for any title and survey costs, as well as environmental site assessment, appraisal and legal fees theretofore incurred by Buyer (however Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse Buyer more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in the aggregate for such environmental site assessment, appraisal and legal fees), and thereupon no party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder (except that Buyer shall remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8), or (ii) Buyer may enforce specific performance of this Agreement without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price, together with the right of Buyer to collect its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, subject to the limitation on Landlord’s reimbursement of same described above.

 

14.3                           Subject to the provisions of Article 14.1 and 14.2 above, if Closing should not occur for any reason whatsoever other than a default by Buyer or a Seller Default (including without limitation by reason of a material breach of representation or warranty of Seller or an uncured title objection properly made by Buyer under Section 6.1, or a failure to deliver any tenant estoppel required hereunder) which Buyer is not willing to waive, then in such event this Agreement shall be and be deemed cancelled, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and thereupon Buyer shall have no other right, by way of damages or otherwise, against Seller notwithstanding the existence of any failure or breach of representation, warranty, covenant, title, provision of estoppel or other Closing condition (provided that Buyer will remain liable on its obligations under Sections 4.2 and 15.8).

 

15.                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

 

15.1                           The representations, warranties and covenants contained in Article 10 of this Agreement shall survive delivery of the deed for a period of twelve (12) months. Other than the survival of such representations, warranties and covenants, the acceptance of the deed by Buyer shall be conclusive evidence of the performance by Seller of all of the provisions of this Agreement to be performed by Seller.

 

15.2                           This Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, if any, with respect thereto.

 

15.3                           This Agreement may not be canceled, modified, changed or supplemented, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing.

 

15.4                           The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns.

 

15.5                           “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE” with respect to all provisions of this Agreement, with the sole exception that each of Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to a single adjournment (not to exceed two (2) business days in any event) of the Closing Date.

 

13



 

15.6                           This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the legal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

 

15.7                           Intentionally Deleted.

 

15.8                           Buyer represents and warrants that it will keep all information and/or reports and/or documents obtained from Seller or its agents (including without limitation the rent and other terms of the Space Leases), or related to or connected with the Property (including without limitation the existence of this Agreement and the Purchase Price) strictly confidential and will not disclose any such information to any person or entity (except for Buyer’s attorneys, consultants and advisors and except as required by law; provided that any such parties similarly agree to treat such material confidentially), without the prior written consent of Seller. In amplification and not in limitation of the foregoing, Buyer may not make any public disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement prior to Closing.

 

15.9                           This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State wherein the Property is located. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its plain meaning and without reference to any maxim or rule of interpretation providing that a writing should be construed against the party responsible for the drafting thereof.

 

15.10                     This Agreement shall not be recorded or filed in the public records of any jurisdiction by either party and any attempt to do so may be treated by the other party as a breach of this Agreement.

 

15.11                     This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original.

 

16. Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligation.

 

In addition to the conditions precedent described in Article 11-3(A) (c), (d) & (e), Buyer’s obligation to remit the remainder of the Purchase Price to the Title Company on the Closing Date and effectuate the transaction contemplated hereunder is subject to and contingent upon the following;

 

(a)          The Title Company’s issuing or committing to issue the Title Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in Buyer as required in Article 6 hereof;

 

(b)         The completeness, truth and accuracy in all material respects and to the best of Ruth Mitteldorf’s or Daniel Slattery’s knowledge of the Rent Roll, and any certifications, schedules, covenants and statements prepared and executed by Seller as part of the Pre-Closing Deliveries, the completeness in all material respects and to the best of Seller’s knowledge of the Space Leases delivered by Seller as part of the Pre-Closing Deliveries, the completeness, truth and accuracy in all material respects and to the best of Seller’s knowledge as of Closing, of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 10 hereof, and the performance by Seller, to the extent possible by the date of Closing, of the covenants contained in Section 10 hereof. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close with respect to the Property that, at the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Certificate that shall confirm, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the truth and accuracy in all material respects, as of Closing, of Seller’s representations contained in this Agreement, and the representations contained in such certificate, as well as any continuing obligations of Seller hereunder, shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months; and

 

(c)          That as of the date of closing: (i) neither Seller, as landlord under the Space Leases, nor any tenant thereunder, shall be in material default under the terms of any Space Lease and (ii) and eight-five percent (85%) of the Property gross leaseable area being leased to tenants with the Tenant Conditions satisfied.

This Agreement shall not be deemed to be effective and binding upon the parties hereto unless and until the Good Faith Deposit is so delivered. If the Good Faith Deposit is not paid within two business days following complete execution of this Agreement by all parties, this Agreement shall be null and void and no party shall be bound by the terms hereof. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Good Faith Deposit in an interest-bearing trust account maintained by the Escrow Agent at Chicago Title Insurance Company, Chicago Office

 

2



 

(hereinafter referred to as the “Deposit Escrow Account”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The term “Deposit” shall mean and refer to the Good Faith Deposit plus all accrued interest in the Deposit Escrow Account. The Deposit shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  At the Closing (as such term is defined in Section 2.1 hereof), the Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer to Seller as follows:

 

(i)                                     By delivery of the Deposit by the Escrow Agent to or at the direction of the Seller;

 

(ii)                                  By payment on the Closing Date, by wire transfer from the Closing Escrow of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing of the amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price, as such amount may be increased or decreased by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, minus the Good Faith Deposit.

 

(d)                                 (i)                                     The duties of the Escrow Agent are limited to those specifically provided for herein and are purely ministerial in nature. Escrow Agent shall incur no liability hereunder or otherwise except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and Seller and Buyer hereby release Escrow Agent from any liability (other than as excepted herein) for any action taken by it hereunder or for any failure or refusal to act hereunder or for any other matter. Unless Escrow Agent shall have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Seller and Buyer, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against any liability incurred by it as a result of its acting as escrow Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, however, Buyer shall be solely responsible for the payment of all fees and other compensation charged by the Escrow Agent for acting as such hereunder, including the reimbursement of any costs and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with its acting as Escrow Agent hereunder.

 

(ii)                                  Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way or by any agreement or contract between Seller or Buyer, whether or not it has knowledge thereof, and Escrow Agent’s only duties and responsibilities shall be to hold the Deposit as escrow agent and to dispose of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall, in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, have no responsibility to protect the Deposit and shall not be responsible for any failure to demand, collect or enforce any obligation with respect to the Deposit or for any diminution in value of the Deposit for any cause. Escrow Agent may, at the expense of Seller and Buyer, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with its duties under this Agreement and Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel and accountants. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder which may, in its reasonable judgment, involve it in any liability unless Escrow Agent shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Escrow Agent.

(iii)                               Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to disburse the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but in such event Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until receipt by Escrow Agent of any authorization in writing, signed by all parties having an interest in such dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit. In the absence of such authorization Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the final determination of the rights of the parties in any appropriate proceeding. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and believed by it to be authentic. If such written authorization is not given, or proceedings for such determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the dispute arises, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of the State of New York. Pending such determination Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding which may arise between Seller and Buyer in connection with the Deposit.

 

(iv)                              Escrow Agent or any successor Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving fifteen (15) days’ prior notice of resignation to the other parties hereto, such resignation to be effective on the date specified in such notice. In case the office of Escrow Agent shall become vacant for any reason, Seller may appoint a title company, bank or trust company that is reasonably acceptable to Buyer as successor Escrow Agent to the retiring Escrow Agent, whereupon such successor Escrow Agent shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the retiring Escrow Agent as if originally named hereunder, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall duly transfer and deliver to such successor Escrow Agent the funds and records, including without limitation the Deposit, held by the retiring Escrow Agent hereunder.

 

(e)                                  Escrow Agent shall execute this Agreement solely for the purpose of being bound by the provisions of Sections l.2(b) and (d) hereof and to acknowledge its receipt of the Good Faith Deposit.

Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the Due Diligence Period within which to notify Seller in writing that Buyer objects to any state of facts as shown on any Survey, which written notice must be given contemporaneously with any written notice given as to exceptions to title referred to above. If Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to any exceptions to title and/or to any state of facts in the Survey (hereinafter referred to as a “Title Objection Notice”), Seller shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of such notification to notify Buyer (i) that Seller will remove the Title Objection Notice exceptions from title or, if applicable, remove the matters as shown on the Survey on or before the Closing or (ii) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions or matters to be removed. If Seller fails to notify Buyer within such ten (10) business days, Seller shall be deemed to have given notice under clause (ii) above. If Seller gives (or is deemed to have given) Buyer notice under clause (ii) above, Buyer shall have five (5) business days from the date of receipt of such notice (or in a case where Seller gives no such notice, from the last date on which such notice could have been given) in which to notify Seller and the Escrow Agent (x) that Buyer will nevertheless proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and take title to the Property subject to such exceptions and such matters without reduction of the Purchase Price or (y) that Buyer will terminate this Agreement. If Buyer does not

provide any notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to take title to the Property pursuant to clause (x) above. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(b)(y), (i) this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, (ii) no party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for representations, warranties and/or any indemnity obligations of any party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive termination of this Agreement), and (iii) the Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Deposit to Buyer.

(d)                                 Seller’s obligation to convey title to the Property is solely as set forth in Section 2.1(a) hereof. To the extent that Buyer may elect, at its option, to request the Title Company to issue endorsements to the most current form of ALTA owner’s title insurance policy as currently and customarily used in the State of New York, the issuance of such endorsements shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller, and (to the extent that Buyer has not terminated this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 hereof) the issuance of any such endorsements shall not be a pre-condition to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

2.2                               Investigations; No Reliance on Documents; As-Is Sale.

 

(a)                                  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Buyer makes any representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or information delivered by such party or its brokers or agents to the other party in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that all materials, data and information delivered by the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby are provided to the other party as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information shall be at the sole risk of the party receiving such materials, data or information from the other party, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

ARTICLE 4

Apportionments and Allocation of Expenses

 

4.1                               Credits and Prorations. Subject to any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following items shall be apportioned for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs as of midnight on the calendar day immediately preceding the Closing: (a) all Rents, revenues and other income, if any, from the Property, (b) real estate taxes; (c) water and sewer charges and other utility charges, if any, (d) all security deposits under Leases shall be credited to Buyer at Closing, and (e) any other income, expense or other items relating to the Property which is customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller of real property in the counties in which the Property is located.

 

4.2                               Other Adjustments.

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.1 hereof, any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments due and payable during the year of Closing have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments, plus interest and penalties, if any, which relate to the period before Closing and Buyer shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after such amounts are determined following Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(b) of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Except as otherwise provided herein, any expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing (and for which Buyer and Seller are unable to adjust and/or allocate at or prior to Closing) shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration ninety (90) days after Closing, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, Buyer shall prepare, and certify as correct, a final proration statement which shall be subject to Seller approval. Upon the acceptance and approval by Seller of any final proration statement submitted by Buyer, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final.

(c)                                  All rents, including without limitation all basic rent, additional rent, CAM charges, tenant real estate tax reimbursements and all amounts due and payable to the landlord under the Leases (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Rents”), shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Closing Date based upon the number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs. In furtherance of the foregoing, and in furtherance of the desire of Buyer and Seller to negotiate appropriate credits for all tenant matters, Seller shall prepare all CAM reconciliations for calendar year 2004 prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, and shall deliver copies thereof to Buyer. Based upon (i) the overpayments and underpayments shown on the CAM reconciliations (ii) the delinquency, if any, at such time in the payment of Rent by any Tenants and (iii) the existence, if any, of any unpaid tenant improvements or leasing commissions or any unexpired free rent periods (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenant Concessions”) Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith with each other appropriate credits to one another to be allocated at Closing in connection with the Leases. Such good faith negotiations shall include negotiations with respect to Rents which remain unpaid on and as of the anticipated Closing Date, as well as allocation of responsibility for the economic effect of the payment or realization of Tenant Concessions, it being the intent of the Buyer and Seller to negotiate fair and equitable credits such that (i) Seller will have no claims against Tenants following Closing for past due Rent, CAM payments, other additional rent and Tenant Concessions, (ii) Seller will owe no additional payments to Buyer in respect of Rent, CAM payments, other additional rent and Tenant Concessions, and (iii) Buyer will owe no additional payments to Seller in respect thereof.

 

(d)                                 All common area expenses, maintenance, taxes other than real estate taxes (such as rental taxes), other expenses incurred in operating the Property, and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business or in the management and operation of the Property, shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (monthly or annually, as applicable). Subject to the negotiations referred to in Section 4.2(c) hereof, Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to Closing and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing as of the Closing Date and thereafter. Seller and Buyer shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the Closing Date to aid in such prorations, to the extent available or necessary.

 

(e)                                  Buyer shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of the tenant security deposits set forth on Schedule 4.2(e) attached hereto.

 

(f)                                    Subject to the final sentence of Section 4.2(b) hereof, the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall survive Closing.

 

4.3                               Transaction and Closing Costs.

 

(a)                                  Seller and Buyer shall execute such returns, questionnaires and other documents as shall be required with regard to all applicable real property transaction taxes imposed by applicable federal, state or local law or ordinance.

 

(b)                                 Seller shall pay the fees of counsel representing Seller in connection with this transaction. In addition, Seller shall also pay the following costs and expenses:

(d)                                 All costs and expenses incident to the transaction contemplated hereby and the closing thereof, and not specifically described above, shall be paid by the party incurring same.

 

(e)                                  The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 

4.4                               Master Lease.

 

Simultaneously with the Closing, Seller shall enter into a master lease (the “Master Lease”) with Buyer for all of the vacant space (“Vacant Space”) at the Property (currently estimated to be 11,700 s.f.) at a rental rate of $15.00 p.s.f. plus the pro rata share of CAM and taxes for a period of two (2) years. Pursuant to the Master Lease Seller shall make monthly payments in advance on the first day of each month of the term for rent, CAM and taxes. The determination of the square footage of the Vacant Space shall be made as of the date of the Closing. Subsequent to the Closing and prior to the end of the two (2) year Master Lease, if any portion of the Vacant Space is leased and put in service (“Leased Space”), the Master Lease shall terminate as to the applicable Vacant Space as of such date. “Leased Space” shall mean space for which: (i) a tenant has executed a lease for any portion of the Vacant Space, accepted its space, subject to any

 

16



 

normal punch list items, and (ii) opened for business to the public, and (iii) commenced the payment of full rent, common area maintenance and taxes, and (iv) all the leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances having either paid for by Seller or credited to Buyer, and (v) a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent occupancy permit issued by the local governmental authorities, for such tenant’s respective demised premises, and (vi) the tenant executes and delivers an acceptable estoppel certificate to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a ground lease is entered into for any portion of the Property the term “Leased Space” for such ground lease parcel shall mean space for which: (i) a tenant has executed a ground lease; and (ii) a tenant has commenced the payment of full rent, common area maintenance and taxes, and (iii) all the leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances having either paid for by Seller or credited to Buyer; and (iv) the tenant executes and delivers an acceptable estoppel certificate to Buyer. It is understood that at no time shall Buyer be entitled to receive a rental payment from a tenant and also a rental payment attributable to such tenant from the Master Lease (whether due to partial satisfaction of the Leased Space criteria, or otherwise), and Buyer agrees to immediately remit such duplicate payment to Seller upon receipt.

 

4.5                     Vacant Space Escrow.

 

Seller shall escrow with Escrow Agent the sum of $30.00 p.s.f. for tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the Vacant Space (the “Vacant Space Escrow”). Subsequent to the Closing and prior to the end of the two (2) year Master Lease, if any portion of the Vacant Space is leased and put in service (“Leased Space”), Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive from escrow agent the sum of $30.00 p.s.f. for the applicable Leased Space. If, at the end of the two (2) year Master Lease, there then exists any Vacant Space, the amount remaining in the Vacant Space Escrow attributable to tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the then Vacant Space shall be released to Buyer.

TITLE AND SURVEY

 

2.1                                 Commitment for Title Insurance. Seller has delivered to Purchaser, a Commitment for Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”), issued by Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, through its national accounts office in Richmond, Virginia (the “Title Company”), covering the Realty, showing all matters affecting title to the Realty and binding the Title Company to issue an Owner Policy of Title Insurance (such policy in the amount of the Purchase Price with extended coverage and the Special Endorsements described below is referred to herein as the “Owner’s Title Policy”). Promptly after the Effective Date, Seller shall request that the Title Company modify the Title Commitment to add Purchaser as the proposed insured, specify that coverage will be equal to the Purchase Price and commit to issue the following endorsements (the “Special Endorsements”): 3.1 zoning (long form) with parking and loading docks, owner’s comprehensive, survey, access, P.I.N., subdivision, utility facility, contiguity, environmental lien, removal of creditor’s rights exception, and removal of the arbitration clause. If the Title Company does not, within seven (7) days after the Effective Date, (i) modify the Title Commitment as required above and (ii) commit in writing to issue one or more of the Special Endorsements (subject only to satisfaction of customary underwriting requirements), Purchaser shall either (i) agree that the Special Endorsement in question need not be issued such that the requirement is waived or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money.

Seller shall be under no obligation to cure any title exception, but if Seller shall fail to cure or commit in writing to cure any of Purchaser’s objections within such two (2) Business Day period, Purchaser may either (i) waive such objection, or (ii) terminate this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to waive all unsatisfied objections prior to the date scheduled for Closing shall constitute an election to terminate. Purchaser shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money upon such termination or deemed termination.

 

2.2                                 Survey. Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of the latest survey of the Property prepared by a licensed surveyor (the “Surveyor”).

Two (2) copies of the Survey shall be delivered to each of Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company not later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date.

 

2.3                                 Owner’s Title Policy. At Closing, the Title Company shall furnish to Purchaser the Owner’s Title Policy with the Special Endorsements, insuring title to the Realty, in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, except:

 

(a)                                  The exception relating to discrepancies, conflicts or shortages in area or boundary lines, or any encroachment or any overlapping of improvements which a survey might show shall be modified to delete such exception, except as to shortages in area, and substitute matters shown on the Survey in lieu thereof;

 

(b)                                 The exception relating to ad valorem taxes shall be limited to taxes owing for the current and subsequent years; and

 

(c)                                  There shall be no exception for (i) “parties in possession” other than parties claiming under Leases or (ii) yet to be filed materialmen’s or mechanics’ liens.

Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against claims of third parties for any loss, liability, cost, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, court costs and interest) resulting from such inspection and examination.  All inspections and Tenant interviews shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with use of the Property by Seller or the Tenants. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present at any such inspections or Tenant interviews. Purchaser’s indemnification obligation shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement, as applicable.

 

3.3                                 Due Diligence Period.

(i)                                     rents collected under the Leases for the month of Closing and each Tenant’s portion of operating expenses;

 

(ii)                                  percentage rent payable under the Leases (with any percentage rent received by Purchaser after Closing being allocated and prorated across the entire calendar year in which percentage rent accrued as opposed to only the months in which percentage rent is actually payable or collected);

 

(iii)                               real property and tangible personal property ad valorem taxes with respect to the Realty and the Personalty for the current year, with any apportionment of such taxes for a tax year as to which either the tax rate or the assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed to be made upon the basis of the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed; provided that Seller and Purchaser agree that, to the extent the actual taxes for the current year differ from the amount so apportioned at Closing, Seller and Purchaser will make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing;

(v)                                 gas, electricity, water, trash disposal and other utility charges with respect to the Realty.

 

(b)                                 In making such apportionments, Purchaser shall be entitled to rents and other income earned and due from the Property with respect to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be responsible for real property taxes and other expenses accrued or incurred with respect to the Closing Date.  All such apportionments shall be subject to post-Closing adjustments as necessary to reflect later relevant information not available at Closing (including the amount of percentage rents due after Closing) and to correct any errors made at Closing with respect to such apportionments and the party receiving more than it was entitled to hereunder shall reimburse the other party hereto in the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days after receiving written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such apportionments shall be deemed final and not subject to further post-Closing adjustments if no such adjustments have been requested after a period of thirty (30) days from such time as all necessary information is available to make a complete and accurate determination of such apportionments; provided that any prorated percentage rent due to Seller shall be paid to Seller upon receipt without request or demand.  All other matters with respect to apportionments shall be governed by the Closing Statement. The provisions of this Section 4.4(b) shall survive the Closing.

 

(c)                                  At Closing, Seller shall credit to the account of Purchaser against the Purchase Price allocable to the Realty any security deposits or prepaid rent, the continuing obligations for which are actually and explicitly transferred to Purchaser at Closing pursuant to any Leases executed by Seller or Seller’s predecessors in interest, as lessor, which will continue in effect after Closing, and Seller shall retain all security deposits and prepaid rent.

 

(d)                                 After Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially efforts to collect any delinquent rents or other payments due as of the Closing Date, and shall pay such amounts to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after collection.  Any rents and other payments collected after Closing shall be applied first to current charges and then to delinquencies. If delinquencies remain unpaid within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to pursue its own collection efforts, but Seller shall not have any right to file any action to evict any Tenant that is delinquent.

 

4.5                                 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing it in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, (b) the premium for the Owner’s Title Policy standard coverage (excluding extended coverage and any endorsements desired by Purchaser), and (c) one-half (1/2) of any escrow fees charged by the Title Company. Purchaser shall pay (a) the fees of any counsel representing Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, (b) the premium for the Owner’s Title Policy extended coverage and any endorsements obtained by Purchaser, (c) the cost of the Survey, (d) the cost of any tests, inspections or environmental site assessments conducted or obtained by Purchaser, (e) transfer taxes, documentary stamps and similar charges (if any, Seller having been advised that Arizona does not impose such taxes, stamps or charges), (f) recording fees due in connection with the recording of the Deed and other conveyance documents; and (g) one-half (1/2) of any escrow

fees charged by the Title Company. Purchaser shall also reimburse Seller for the cost of the Phase I environmental site assessment obtained by Seller from URS Corporation (or one of its affiliates); provided that issuer of such assessment delivers a reliance letter to Purchaser.  All other costs and expenses incident to the transaction contemplated hereby and the closing thereof shall be paid by the party incurring the same.

 

4.6                                 Closing Constitutes Waiver.  Notwithstanding Article V and without limiting Section 9.1 below, if any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith are materially false or inaccurate, or Seller is in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement, but Purchaser nonetheless closes the transaction hereunder and purchases the Property, then (i) Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall terminate upon the Closing) in the event and to the extent that on or prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have had actual knowledge of the false or inaccurate representations or warranties or other breach or default, and (ii) to the extent the Submission Items furnished to Purchaser contain provisions or information that are inconsistent with the foregoing representations and warranties (unless Seller had knowledge of such inconsistency and willfully failed to disclose the same to Purchaser), such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to eliminate such inconsistency and to conform such representations and warranties to such Submission Items.

 

4.7                                 Changed Circumstance.  If Seller obtains actual knowledge of any changed circumstance that causes any representation or warranty of Seller to no longer be true in any material respect (the “Material Changed Circumstance”), Seller shall promptly send written notice thereof to Purchaser describing the Material Changed Circumstance and the manner in which it has made any of Seller’s representations or warranties herein untrue. As used herein, a change in Seller’s representation and warranty shall be deemed “material” if (i) the market value of the Property is decreased by more than $100,000 as a result of such Material Changed Circumstance, or (ii) it is a Lease Status Representation (as defined in Section 5.1(c) below.  If Purchaser does not approve the Material Changed Circumstance in writing on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall not be in default and Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to remedy the Material Changed Circumstance.  In the Seller fails or refuses to remedy the Material Changed Circumstance to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days to attempt to remedy the same.  If Seller has not remedied the Material Adverse Change on or before the Closing Date (including the extension provided above), Purchaser shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy,  either (i) waive and approve the Material Changed Circumstance, in which event the applicable representation or warranty shall be deemed modified, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder one to the other except with respect to these obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Any termination under this Section 7.2 shall constitute a termination of all of Purchaser’s rights to acquire the Property.

RE:                          Kroger Portfolio
Atlanta, GA

 

Dear Bridget:

 

We have completed our comprehensive file and lease review and have the following comments and questions, and need for additional information on each property.

 

Green’s Corner

 

1.                                       Kroger – We are missing the LEASE dated 1/23/98 and Exhibit B to the LEASE AGREEMENT.  (We did receive Exhibit A today.)

 

You had previously responded to a similar request by resending the LEASE AGREEMENT which we already had.  The Kroger lease consists of both parts.

 

2.                                       Mailboxes, Etc. – Exhibit J is an addendum which indicates the Guarantor is Peachtree Etc., Inc. We need a copy of the Guaranty Agreement.  Is this Guarantor in addition to the one shown in Exhibit F, or a replacement guarantor?

 

Exhibit J also indicates the space to be 1,324 5F, but the rent roll shows 1,320 SF.  Note that the Exhibit J states that the addendum prevails over the lease.

 

3.                                       Subway – We are missing Exhibit B.

 

4.                                       KB’s BBQ – We need sales figures for 2003.

 

5.                                       Golden Palace – We need sales figures for 2003.

 

Newton Crossroads

 

6.                                       Washington Mutual – The expiration date on the rent roll appears incorrect.  Based on the lease, it should be 4/30/07. Also note that the future rent dates and rent increases are not shown on the rent roll.

 

7.                                       GNC – We are missing the top of virtually all pages of the original lease. Can you see if you can get us a more complete copy of the original lease (the sublease is OK)?

 

We are missing sales reports for 2003 and 12/02 and 3/01.

 

8.                                       Subway – The remainder of the co-tenancy provision in Section 4 appears to be missing.  Would you please check into this?

 

9.                                       H&R Block – This lease expires 1/31/05.  Although there is a special extension provision extending the lease to 4/30/05, in the case that the lease is not renewed, has this lease been renewed? Are renewal terms being negotiated?

 

10.                                 Just New Releases – We are missing page 7 of the lease.

 



 

 

11.                                 Great Clips – We need the document extending the term from 7/1/02 to 6/30/07.  In a previous request, you provided us with an Estoppel/ Amendment, but that only extended the lease to 6/12/02.

 

12.                                 Daily Nails – The sales reports for 2002, 2003 and 2004 are incomplete (missing various months).  Please provide the missing information.

 

13.                                 Best Cleaners – Section 5 of the Special Stipulations state that the tenant is to provide the landlord with a copy of a Limited Pollution Liability Policy with a $1 Mil limit.  Please forward a copy for our review.

 

Exhibit I – Special Stipulations – We are missing some pages as we only have the first page.

 

Please provide tenant sales figures for at least 2002, 2003 and 2004 YTD.

 

Stilesboro Oaks

 

14.                                 Clothing Care Cleaners – The insurance provision does not require this tenant to carry environmental liability insurance; however, Section 13.2 (f) permits the landlord to require the tenant to carry other insurance as the landlord deems prudent.  Has such insurance been required of the tenant?

 

15.                                 We are missing the following tenant sales reports.

 

                  Clothing Care – 6/03 – 9/03

 

                  GNC – 2003; 1/02, 12/02; l/0l – 3/01

 

                  Gondoller Pizza – 10/03

 

                  Great Clips – 2002 and 10/03

 

                  Mailboxes, Etc. – 2002 (except 3/02 – 6/02); 2003 and 2004 YTD

 

                  Mr. Wonton – 7/03 and 12/03; 1/04 and 9/04

 

                  Vintage Bottle – 3/02, 4/02, 6/02, 10/02, 11/02 and 6/03 – 12/03

 

Applies to All Three Properties

 

We are in need of the following items from our due diligence checklist for each property.

(c) all of Seller’s right, title and interest (if any) in, to and under all tangible personal property upon the Land or within the Improvements (collectively as the “Tangible Personal Property”), including specifically, without limitation, appliances, equipment, furniture, carpeting, draperies and curtains, tools and supplies, and other items of tangible personal property owned by Seller and used exclusively in connection with the operation of the Land and the Improvements, but excluding (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) computer software and computer files, (iii) personal property owned by tenants under the Leases and their respective employees, (iv) any items leased to Seller, and (v) all brochures, advertising copy, promotional materials, manuals, reports, portfolios, binders, training materials and other such items.

 

(d) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all agreements listed and described on Exhibit B (the “List of Leases”) attached hereto and made a part hereof,

 



 

pursuant to which any portion of the Land or Improvements is used or occupied by anyone other than Seller (collectively, the “Leases”).

 

(e) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) the Designated Service Contracts (as defined in Section 5.7(b) of this Agreement), (ii) all assignable existing warranties and guaranties issued to or inuring to the benefit of Seller in connection with the Improvements or the Tangible Personal Property, (iii) all governmental permits, licenses and approvals, if any, belonging to or inuring to the benefit of Seller and pertaining to the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property, but only to the extent that such permits, licenses and approvals are assignable and only to the extent that such permits, licenses and approvals relate to the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property as opposed to other property of Seller and (iv) subject to Section 1.7 hereof, the shopping center names Stilesboro Oaks, Green’s Corner and Newton Crossroads (collectively, the “Intangible Property”).

 

1.2                                 Property Defined. The Land, the Improvements, the Tangible Personal Property, the Leases and the Intangible Property are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Property.”

 

1.3                                 Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall be conveyed subject to the matters which are, or are deemed to be, Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Article 2 hereof (herein referred to collectively as the “Permitted Exceptions”).

 

1.4                                 Purchase Price. Seller is to sell and Purchaser is to purchase the Property for a total purchase price of THIRTY-FIVE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($35,480,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).

 

1.5                                 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, as adjusted by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, shall be payable in full at Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to a bank account of Escrow Agent designated by Escrow Agent in writing to Purchaser prior to the Closing (“Escrow Agent’s Account”), and, as adjusted by prorations and adjustments as herein provided, shall be subsequently payable in full at Closing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to a bank account designated by Seller in writing to Escrow Agent prior to the Closing.

On the date hereof, Purchaser shall deposit with the Chicago, Illinois office of Escrow Agent the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) (the “Earnest Money”) in good funds, either by certified bank or cashier’s check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  The Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money pursuant to Purchaser’s directions and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 10.  All interest accruing and other income earned on such sum shall be the property of Purchaser in all events and shall not become a part of the Earnest Money.  If Purchaser fails to deliver the Earnest Money to the Escrow Agent within the time period specified above, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement (until such time as Purchaser has deposited the Earnest Money with Escrow Agent), and upon such termination, neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any

 

2



 

right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.  In any event, if Purchaser is entitled to have the Earnest Money returned to Purchaser pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Earnest Money shall nevertheless be paid to Seller as good and sufficient consideration for entering into this Agreement.  Time is of the essence for the delivery of the Earnest Money.

Seller acknowledges that after Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to use the names of the Projects set forth on Exhibit A-1 as part of its names for the respective Improvements to the same extent Seller was so entitled; provided, however, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to any right to use such names or any other names used in connection with the Improvements.  This Section 1.7 shall survive the Closing.

 

ARTICLE 2

 

TITLE AND SURVEY

 

2.1                                 Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance.  No later than the Title Objection Deadline (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall obtain from Escrow Agent (in its capacity as agent for the title insurer, sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Title Company”), at Purchaser’s expense, commitments for owner’s polices of title insurance (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) covering each Project comprising the Real Property, and shall deliver to Seller a copy of such Title Commitments, together with legible copies of all instruments referred to therein.

 

2.2                                 Survey.  On or before the Title Objection Deadline, Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, ALTA/ACSM surveys of each Project comprising the Real Property prepared by a licensed Georgia surveyor, and shall deliver three (3) copies of any such surveys to Seller and to the Title Company.  Such surveys shall constitute the “Surveys” hereunder.  For purposes of the Deeds to be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, the legal descriptions of the Property shall be the legal descriptions by which Seller acquired the Property, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A, less and except any rights-of-way or other conveyances previously made by Seller.  If the metes and bounds description drawn from any Survey reflects a legal description different from the corresponding legal description attached hereto as a portion of Exhibit A, Seller shall also deliver a quit claim deed for such portion of the Property at Closing containing the legal description drawn from the Survey.

 

2.3                                 Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections.  Purchaser shall have until December 20, 2004 (the “Title Objection Deadline”) to notify Seller, in writing, of such objections as Purchaser may have to the Title Commitments or the Surveys, other than the Permitted Exceptions described in Section 2.4 hereof.  In the event that Purchaser has not received one or more of the Surveys prior to December 20, 2004, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as of December 20, 2004 by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller on said date, in which event the Earnest Money shall immediately be returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6 of this Agreement, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent

 

3



 

that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.  Any item contained in the Title Commitments or any matter shown on the Surveys to which Purchaser does not object on or before the Title Objection Deadline shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception”.  In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of objections to title or to matters shown on the Surveys on or before the Title Objection Deadline, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objections.  On or before December 22, 2004, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objections (and Seller’s failure to provide such a notice shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure any such objection).  If Seller elects to attempt to cure, and provided that Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same.  For this purpose Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the Closing if additional time is required, but in no event shall the extension extend for more than thirty (30) days.  If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any valid objections specified in Purchaser’s notice, or if Seller fails or is unable to effect a cure prior to Closing (or any date to which the Closing had been extended), Purchaser shall have the following options: (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Purchaser which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall immediately be returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6 of this Agreement, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.  If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any title objection, or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure any title objections, or if Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s intent to cure any objection and Seller later notifies Purchaser that Seller has failed or will be unable to effect a cure thereof, Purchaser shall, within two (2) days after receiving Seller’s notice, notify Seller in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (i) above or to terminate this Agreement under clause (ii) above (with Purchaser’s failure to provide such a notice deemed an election by Purchaser to accept conveyance under clause (i) above). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated at Closing to discharge (a) all mortgages of Seller (regardless of whether Purchaser objects to such mortgages) and (b) all undisputed monetary liens arising by, through or under Seller. The term “mortgage” as used herein includes any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt and similar security instrument securing an indebtedness of Seller and encumbering the Property or any portion thereof; the terms “discharge” and “discharged” as used herein include compliance with a statutory bonding procedure that has the legal effect of removing the mortgage or item as a lien on the Property or otherwise allows the mortgage or item to be removed from the title exceptions in the Title Policies.

 

2.4                                 Conveyance of Title.  At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer the Property to Purchaser.  It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close this transaction that title to the Real Property conveyed and transferred to Purchaser shall be such title to the Real Property as will enable the Title Company to issue to Purchaser its extended coverage owner’s policies of title insurance, together with such endorsements as required by Purchaser (the “Title Policies”)

 

4



 

covering each Project comprising the Real Property, collectively in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject to the following matters, which shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions:

 

(a)                                  the rights of tenants under the Leases described in the List of Leases and any new Leases entered into between the Effective Date and Closing and (if required) approved by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

 

(b)                                 the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided;

 

(c)                                  local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building, zoning and land use laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property;

 

(d)                                 all matters shown in Schedule B of the Title Commitments, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 of this Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement;

 

(e)                                  additional items, if any, appearing of record or shown on the Surveys, except to the extent Seller agrees to cure any such matters pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5 hereof; and

 

(f)                                    additional items, if any, approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.

 

2.5                                 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects.  Whether or not Purchaser shall have furnished to Seller any notice of title objections pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title first raised by the Title Company or the Surveyor and first arising between (a) the effective date of the applicable Title Commitment and (b) the date on which the transaction contemplated herein is scheduled to close; provided, however, that Purchaser must notify Seller of any such objections within the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) business days after Purchaser’s first receipt of an updated title commitment, updated survey or written notice from Seller (whichever first provides notice) of the condition giving rise to any such objection and (y) the date that is five (5) days before the Closing Date.  With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same option to cure and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Purchaser on or before the Title Objection Deadline.  If Seller elects to attempt to cure any such matters, Seller shall have the right, at its election, to extend the date for Closing by a reasonable additional time to effect such a cure, but in no event shall the Closing be extended for more than thirty (30) days.

 

2.6                                 Seller’s Covenant Not to Encumber.  Seller agrees that, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller will not sell, assign, rent, convey (absolutely or as security), grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber or dispose of, the Property (or any part thereof

 

5



 

or estate therein) in any manner that will survive Closing, except as approved in writing by Purchaser or as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to (i) continue leasing the Property in the manner described in Section 5.4(b) hereof, and (ii) amend or enter into service contracts in the manner described in Section 5.4(g) hereof.

 

ARTICLE 3

(b) Seller delivered to Purchaser copies of the items listed on Exhibit H attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Property Information”) on November 4, 2004, to the extent the same were in Seller’s possession, and Purchaser hereby acknowledges receipt of said items.

 

(c) During the term of the Agreement, Purchaser and its agents, representatives, contractors and consultants (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”) shall, upon twenty-for (24) hours prior telecopy notice to Seller c/o Bill Worthington at Maxwell Properties (Fax No. 404-255-3382; Phone No. 404-255-3001) have the right to enter upon the Property during regular business hours for the purpose of conducting such investigations of the Property (collectively, “Inspections”) as Purchaser may reasonably require, and which are reasonably approved by Seller; provided that, Seller shall have the opportunity to have one of its representatives accompany Purchaser on each such entry; and provided further that all such inspections shall be subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases.  Any and all such Inspections shall be done at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  The Inspections shall not damage the Property in any respect, shall not interfere with the rights or operations of any tenants of the Property, shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations and, unless Purchaser obtains the prior written consent of Seller, which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, shall not be invasive in any respect (specifically, for example, Purchaser shall not conduct any soil borings,

 

6



 

test pits, groundwater testing, or other Phase II or Phase III environmental testing or any testing relating to the operation of any dry cleaner without prior approval of Seller).  Prior to conducting any environmental testing of the Property, including Phase I testing, Purchaser shall obtain Seller’s prior approval of Purchaser’s environmental consultant.  Following each such entry by Purchaser with respect to the Inspections, Purchaser shall promptly restore, or cause to be restored, the Property to its original condition as existed prior to any such Inspections.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its Inspections, but shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith.

 

(d) Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller, Seller’s partners, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of whatsoever nature that may be incurred by the Indemnitees, or any of them, and arising out of or in connection with personal injury or death of persons, loss, destruction or damage to property whatsoever, or any liens or claims of lien filed against the Property, where any such personal injury, death, loss, destruction, damage, lien or claim of lien results in whole or in part from the acts or omissions of Purchaser.  In so defending the Indemnitees and each of them, Purchaser shall provide counsel that is reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitees.  This Section 3.1(d) shall survive the revocation, termination or consummation of this Agreement.

 

(e) Purchaser shall cause all persons and entities entering the Property at Purchaser’s request to maintain adequate and appropriate insurance to cover risks of the type described in Section 3.l(d) above, and before undertaking the Inspections, Purchaser will at Seller’s request deliver to Seller written evidence establishing to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction that such adequate and appropriate insurance is being maintained.  Before undertaking the Inspections, Purchaser shall name Seller or cause Seller to be named as an additional insured under the insurance policies to be maintained in accordance with this Section 3.1.

 

(f) Purchaser expressly agrees that the results of any Inspections (including without limitation the results of any environmental testing) obtained by Purchaser (or its contractors, subcontractors, consultants, representatives or agents) in the course of or in connection with any Inspections shall remain confidential to Purchaser.  Unless required by law, or if Seller so requests in writing, Purchaser (and its contractors, subcontractors, consultants, representatives and agents) shall not disclose any such results to Seller, to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, or to any other third parties.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Section 3.1 and the provisions of that certain Access Agreement entered into by Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property, the terms of this Section 3.1 shall govern.

 

3.2                                 Right of Termination.  Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, that it does not wish to acquire the Property for any reason or no reason, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by either (a) giving written notice of termination to Seller on or before 5:00 p.m. local time at the Property on

December 14, 2004 (the “Inspection Date”), or (b) failing to give written notice to Seller on or before the Inspection Date of Purchaser’s election to proceed with this transaction and waive its right to terminate pursuant to this Section 3.2, with Purchaser’s failure to provide any such notice deemed an election to terminate.  Upon any such termination or deemed termination of this Agreement pursuant to Purchaser’s rights under this Section 3.2, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6 hereof, and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights and obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  If Purchaser gives timely written notice of its election to proceed and to waive its right to terminate pursuant to this Section 3.2 on or before the Inspection Date, then Purchaser shall no longer have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2 and, subject to any contrary provisions, including Purchaser’s termination rights pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.2. The period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Inspection Date is sometimes referred to herein as the “Inspection Period”.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to release the Earnest Money to Purchaser immediately (without further authorization from Seller) upon receipt by Escrow Agent of Purchaser’s notice of termination of the Agreement in accordance with this Section 3.2 (with a copy of such notice to be delivered concurrently by Purchaser to Seller) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. local time at the Property on December 14, 2004.

(4) to the extent the same have not been settled as of the Closing Date, (which Seller shall use reasonable efforts to so settle) gas, electricity and other utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing; and

 

(5) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in comparable commercial transactions in the area in which the Property is located.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions:

 

(1) At Closing, (A) Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either deliver to Purchaser any unforfeited tenant deposits shown on the Rent Roll or credit to Purchaser the amount of such unforfeited deposits and any interest thereon, and (B) Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at either party’s option, Purchaser shall contract directly with the utility companies and Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits; provided that Purchaser and Seller will cooperate so that utility service to the Property is not interrupted.  For the purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(l) the term “unforfeited deposits” means any refundable deposits which are held by Seller and which Seller has not applied, and is not entitled to apply, against delinquent rents, property damage or otherwise.

 

(2) Any ad valorem taxes due and payable prior to Closing shall be fully paid and discharged at or prior to Closing.  Ad valorem taxes and assessments for the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all taxes and assessments for the tax year in which the Closing occurs have not be paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relate to the period before Closing and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent.  Any such apportionment made

 

12



 

with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed.  To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current tax year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing upon the availability of the final tax bills, but such adjustments must be made within ninety (90) days of written notice of the final tax bills by the party who last receives such written notice.

 

(3) Gas, electricity and other utility charges referred in Section 4.4(a)(4) above which are payable by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same, If Seller shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any tenant, shall not have been reimbursed therefor by the time of Closing and is entitled to be reimbursed for any such payment pursuant to the relevant Lease, Purchaser shall credit to Seller an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Seller.

 

(4) As to gas, electricity and other utility charges referred to in Section 4.4(a)(4) above, Seller shall use good faith to pay all of such items accrued to the Closing Date directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller’s efforts are effective and the utility company agrees to look solely to Seller for payment of such item accrued to the Closing Date, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item with respect to the period prior to Closing directly in such case shall survive the Closing.

 

(5) The Tangible Personal Property is included in this sale, without further charge, and Seller shall pay to the applicable taxing authority the amount of any sales tax or other taxes payable in connection with the Tangible Personal Property, if any, and Seller shall execute and deliver any tax returns required of it in connection therewith, said obligations of Seller to survive closing.

 

(6) If the Closing occurs hereunder, Purchaser shall assume and be responsible for, and shall indemnify Seller against any claims for, the payment of (A) all Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions (other than leasing commissions payable to Seller) which become due and payable (whether before, on or after Closing) as a result of any renewals or expansion of existing leases and as a result of any new leases, approved or deemed approved in accordance with Section 5.4(b) hereof, and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs which become due and payable after Closing.  If Seller shall have paid prior to Closing any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions described in this subsection 6(A) above, then Purchaser shall credit to Seller at Closing an amount equal to all such Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions paid by Seller.  The term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant improvement, including,  without limitation, tenant

 

13



 

improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and moving, design, refurbishment, finish air conditioning system allowance, club membership and other allowances.

 

(7) Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing.  Seller and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity.  Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents.

 

(8) For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, in the event that a tenant of any Project exercises any right that it might have under its lease to inspect or audit the common area maintenance expenses for any Project for any period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s expense, make available to Purchaser any books and records in the possession of Seller pertaining to any such audit, but in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser or any such tenant for any refund of common area costs or payment of costs and expenses as a result of any such inspection or audit.

Closing Date and, accordingly, (ii) shall not have the effect of extending the Closing Date or the due date of the Earnest Money deposit hereunder.

 

6.4                                 Recoverable Damages.  Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party’s express obligation to indemnify such party as expressly provided in this Agreement.

RISK OF LOSS

 

7.1                                 Minor Damage.  In the event of loss or damage to one or more of the Projects or any portions thereof which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question.  In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Project(s), Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly.  If Seller does not complete such repairs prior to Closing, Seller shall assign its casualty claim to Purchaser.  If Seller assigns its casualty claim to Purchaser, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy.  Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

 

7.2                                 Major Damage.  In the event of a “major” loss or damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.6.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question.  In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Project(s), Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly.  If Seller does not complete such repairs prior to Closing, Seller shall assign its casualty claim to Purchaser.  If Seller assigns its casualty claim to Purchaser, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy.  Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

 

7.3                                 Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage.  For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, “major” loss or damage refers to the following; (i) casualty loss or damage to one or more of the Projects or any portions thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially similar to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the

 

24



 

aggregate and/or (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which would (a) permanently and materially impair the current use of one or more of the Projects, (b) permit any tenant at the applicable Project(s) to terminate its Lease, (c) take any point of ingress and/or egress to and/or from the applicable Project(s) or (d) result in the reduction of the parking ratio at the applicable Project(s) below the ratio required by (I) any Lease, (II) any easement agreement then in effect and/or (III) the local municipality or municipalities having jurisdiction over the applicable Projects).  In the case of subsection (i) above, if Purchaser does not give notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.

ARTICLE 9

 

DISCLAIMERS AND WAIVERS

 

9.1                                 No Reliance on Documents.  Except as expressly stated herein, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby are provided to Purchaser as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Purchaser shall be at the sole risk of Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) any environmental or other report with respect to the Property which is delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be for general informational purposes only, (b) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any such report delivered by Seller to Purchaser, but rather will rely on its own inspections and investigations of the Property and any reports commissioned by Purchaser with respect thereto, and (c) neither Seller, any affiliate of Seller nor the person or entity which prepared any such report delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall have any liability to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such report.

 

9.2                                 Disclaimers.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Seller is not making and has not at any time made any warranties or representations of any kind or character, expressed or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, any warranties or representations as to habitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title (other than Seller’s special warranty of title to be set forth in the Deeds), zoning, tax consequences, latent or patent physical or environmental condition, utilities, operating history or projections, valuation, governmental approvals, the compliance of the Property with governmental laws, the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property documents or any other information provided by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser, or any other matter or thing regarding the Property.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon closing Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the Property “as is, where is, with all faults”, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.  Purchaser has not

 

26



 

relied and will not rely on, and Seller is not liable for or bound by, any expressed or implied warranties, guaranties, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, property information packages distributed with respect to the Property) made or furnished by Seller, the manager of the Property, or any real estate broker or agent representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing, unless specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 

Without limiting the above, Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, shareholders, successors, successors-in-title, transferees and assigns hereby releases, remises, forever discharges and covenants not to sue Seller and its partners (both general and limited, past, present, and future) and affiliated corporations and their successors, and assigns, of and from any and all claims, losses, damages, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, causes of action, injunctive or other equitable relief, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties of any kind or nature whatsoever which Purchaser now has, ever had, or may in the future have, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which arise from or pertain in any way to Hazardous Materials or which arise under or otherwise pertain to any Environmental Law.  Purchaser agrees that should any investigation, cleanup, remediation or removal of Hazardous Substances or other environmental conditions on or related to the Property be required after the date of Closing, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser to perform or pay for such investigation, clean-up, removal or remediation.  This release, covenant not to sue and acknowledgment of no liability shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not be interpreted to waive any claim of Purchaser with respect to any breach by Seller of any express representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 5.1 that expressly survive closing pursuant to Section 5.3.

 

Purchaser represents to Seller that Purchaser has conducted, or will conduct prior to Closing, such investigations of the Property, including but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, as Purchaser deems necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the existence or nonexistence or curative action to be taken with respect to any Hazardous Materials or toxic substances on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement.  Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including but not limited to, construction defects and adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s investigations, and Purchaser, upon closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller (and Seller’s and its partners’ respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action (including causes of action in tort or under any Environmental Law), losses, damages, liabilities (whether based on strict liability or otherwise), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, which Purchaser might have asserted or alleged against Seller (and Seller’s and its partners’ respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) at any time by reason of or arising out of any latent or patent construction defects or physical conditions, violations of any applicable laws (including, without limitation, any environmental laws) and any and all other acts, omissions,

 

27



 

events, circumstances or matters regarding the Property.  The foregoing shall not be interpreted to waive any claim of Purchaser with respect to any breach by Seller of any express representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 5.1 that expressly survive closing pursuant to Section 5.3.

 

Purchaser agrees that should any investigation, cleanup, remediation or removal of Hazardous Substances or other environmental conditions on or related to the Property be required after the date of Closing, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser to perform or pay for such investigation, clean-up, removal or remediation.  The foregoing shall not be interpreted to waive any claim of Purchaser with respect to any breach by Seller of any express representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 5.1 that expressly survive closing pursuant to Section 5.3.

 

9.3                                 Effect and Survival of Disclaimers.  Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the provisions of this Article 9 are an integral part of this transaction and a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement and that Seller would not enter into this Agreement but for the provisions of this Article 9.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the provisions of this Article 9 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 10

 

ESCROW AGENT

 

10.1                           Investment of Earnest Money.  Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money pursuant to Purchaser’s reasonable directions.  Escrow Agent shall promptly advise Seller and Purchaser of the investment of the Earnest Money.  Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money only in such accounts as will allow Escrow Agent to disburse the Earnest Money upon one (l) day’s notice.

 

10.2                           Payment at Closing.  If the Closing takes place under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Purchaser at Closing.

 

10.3                           Payment on Demand.  Subject to the terms of Section 3.2 hereof, after December 14, 2004, upon receipt of any written certification from Seller or Purchaser claiming the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall promptly forward a copy thereof to the other such party (i.e., Purchaser or Seller, whichever did not claim the Earnest Money pursuant to such notice) and, unless such other party within ten (10) days thereafter notifies Escrow Agent of any objection to such requested disbursement of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Earnest Money to the party demanding the same and shall thereupon be released and discharged from any further duty or obligation hereunder.

 

10.4                           Exculpation of Escrow Agent.  It is agreed that the duties of Escrow Agent are herein specifically provided and are purely ministerial in nature, and that Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever except for its willful misconduct or negligence, so long as Escrow

 

28



 

Agent is acting in good faith.  Seller and Purchaser do each hereby release Escrow Agent from any liability for any error of judgment or for any act done or omitted to be done by Escrow Agent in the good faith performance of its duties hereunder and do each hereby indemnify Escrow Agent against, and agree to hold, save, and defend Escrow Agent harmless from, any costs, liabilities, and expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in serving as Escrow Agent hereunder and in faithfully discharging its duties and obligations hereunder.

 

10.5                           Stakeholder.  Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Earnest Money.  If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Earnest Money or as to whom the Earnest Money is to be delivered, Escrow Agent may refuse to make any delivery and may continue to hold the Earnest Money until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by Seller and Purchaser, directing the disposition of the Earnest Money, or, in the absence of such written authorization, until final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate judicial proceeding.  If such written authorization is not given, or a proceeding for such determination is not begun, within ten (10) days of notice to Escrow Agent of such dispute, Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Earnest Money in a court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination.  Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Earnest Money.  Upon making delivery of the Earnest Money in any of the manners herein provided, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder.

 

10.6                           Interest.  All interest and other income earned on the Earnest Money deposited with Escrow Agent hereunder shall be reported for income tax purposes as earnings of Purchaser.  Purchaser’s taxpayer identification number is 36-3614035.

 

10.7                           Execution by Escrow Agent.  Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement solely for the purpose of acknowledging and agreeing to the provisions of this Article 10 and Section 3.2.  Escrow Agent’s consent to any modification or amendment of this Agreement shall not be required except in the case of this Article 10, Section 3.2 and any modification which affects Purchaser’s right to receive a return of the Earnest Money.

 

10.8                           Conflict.  In the event of a conflict between this Article 10 and Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the terms of Section 3.2 shall control.

 

29



 

ARTICLE 11

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1                           Confidentiality.  Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in strictest confidence all data and information obtained by Purchaser with respect to the Property, except where disclosure is required by law or Purchaser’s SEC reporting requirements.  This Section 11.1 and the other confidentiality (and indemnity) provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.1(f) hereof, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

11.2                           Public Disclosure.   Subject to the terms of Section 11.1 hereof, prior to Closing, any release to the public of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement will be made only in the form approved by Purchaser and Seller.

 

11.3                           Assignment.  Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.  Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of any stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Purchaser without Seller’s written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, shall constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser may assign this Agreement at Closing to a Permitted Affiliate without Seller’s consent.  For purposes hereof, the term “Permitted Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Purchaser and is solvent at the time of assignment and at the time of Closing, is not rendered insolvent by such assignment, and has sufficient assets to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.  No transfer or assignment by Purchaser shall release or relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.  If Purchaser assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.3, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, at Closing, written evidence of such assignment which includes an acknowledgement by assignor and assignee that Seller is entitled to rely upon or is an intended third party beneficiary of such assignment.

 

11.4                           Notices.  Any notice, request or other communication (a “notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier (such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express) or via facsimile and addressed to each party at its address or facsimile number as set forth below.  Any such notice shall be considered given on the date of such hand or courier delivery, deposit with such overnight courier for next business day delivery, or sending via facsimile transmission, but the time period (if any is provided herein) in which to respond to such notice shall commence on the date of receipt of hand or overnight courier delivery or on the date of receipt via facsimile transmission as provided above (provided, however, that any facsimile transmission received after 5:00 p.m. local time at the Property shall be deemed received the following business day). Rejection or other refusal to accept or inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice.  By giving at least five (5) days’ prior written notice thereof, any party may from time to time and at any time change its mailing address hereunder.  Any notice of any party may be given by such party’s counsel.

11.9                           Further Assurances.  Each party agrees that it will without further consideration execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action, whether prior or subsequent to Closing, as may be reasonably requested by the other party to consummate more effectively the purposes or subject matter of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall, if requested by Seller, execute acknowledgments of receipt with respect to any materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser with respect to the Property. Upon a request therefor and after having an opportunity to review and verify the Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses referenced therein, Seller agrees that it shall deliver to Purchaser’s auditor, KPMG LLP, a letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

11.12                     Applicable LawThis Agreement is performable in the state in which the Property is located and shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive federal laws of the United States and the laws of such state. Seller and Purchaser hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the state in which the Property is located in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in a state or federal court sitting in the state in which the Property is located. If either Seller or Purchaser institutes a legal action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in connection therewith.

(i)            The entire unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest, shall be due and payable on or before the Extended Maturity Date.

 

Default Rate.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined or after maturity, this Note and all sums due hereunder shall bear interest at the maximum allowable rate permitted by law (“Penalty Rate”) from the date of default or maturity until paid.

 

Interest Basis.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for actual days elapsed.

 

Interest Parity.  This loan evidenced by this Note is being made pursuant to the rate provisions of Chapters 665 and 687 of the Florida Statutes.

 

Late Charge.  The Maker agrees to pay to Payee, on demand, a late charge equal to 5% of any installment that is not paid within 15 days after it is due and 5% of the interest portion of the payment due upon the final maturity date of this note if that payment is not paid within 15 days after it is due. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other right Payee may have, including, without limitation, the right to declare the entire unpaid principal and interest immediately due an payable.

 

Prepayment.  The Maker shall have the privilege of prepaying this Note in part or in full, without penalty, at any time, and any prepayment shall be applied to the installment or installments of principal last maturing. No partial prepayment shall excuse or defer Maker’s subsequent payment obligations.

 

Security.  This Note is secured by, among other things, a Mortgage (the “Mortgage”) upon real property (the “Property”) in Brevard County, Florida. This Note, the Mortgage and other loan documents as may be now or hereafter executed in connection therewith (“Loan Document(s)”) shall together evidence the debt and constitute the security for the Note.

 

Application of Payments.  All payments made on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied first to repayment of monies paid or advanced by Payee on behalf of the Maker in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and thereafter shall be applied to payment of accrued interest, and lastly to payments of principal in the inverse order of their maturity. No partial prepayment of principal will have the effect of postponing, satisfying, reducing or otherwise affecting any scheduled installment before this Note is paid in full.

 

Place and Manner of Payment.  All payments of interest and principal are payable in lawful money of the United States of America in cash or immediately available funds, at the Payee’s office at which the payment is made, or at such other place as the Payee may designate in writing. At its option, the Payee may elect to give the Maker credit for any payment made by check or other instrument in accordance with the Payee’s availability schedule in effect from time to time for such items and instruments, which the Payee will make available to the Maker on request.

 

Events of Default.  Maker shall be in default in this Note upon the occurrence of any of the following events, circumstances or conditions (each an “Event of Default”):

 

3



 

(a)           Maker’s failure to make any payment of any sum due hereunder on or before the due date thereof without further notice or demand, or to make any other payment due, in accordance with its terms, by the Maker to the Payee under any other promissory note or under any security agreement or other written obligation of any kind now existing or hereinafter created.

 

(b)           The existence of a default or breach of any of the terms of this Note or any other Loan Document that is not cured within any applicable grace and/or cure period without further notice or demand.

 

Remedies after Default.  At the option of Payee, all or any part of the principal and accrued interest on the Note, and all other obligations of the Maker to the Payee shall become immediately due and payable without additional notice or demand, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time thereafter. Payee may exercise all rights and remedies provided by law, equity, this Note or any other Loan Document or any other obligation of the Maker to the Payee. All rights and remedies as set forth in the Loan Documents are cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. Such remedies are not exclusive, and Payee is entitled to all remedies provided at law or equity, whether or not expressly set forth therein. No act, or omission or commission or waiver of Payee, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be effective unless set forth in a written document executed by Payee and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to any subsequent event, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, remedy or recourse. No notice to or demand on any party liable for the payment of this Note in any case shall entitle any such party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Right of Set-off.  Neither the Maker, any co-signer, endorser, surety nor guarantor shall have any right of set-off against the Payee under this Note or under any Loan Document executed in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note. In addition to the remedies provided for herein, the Maker, each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor grants to the Payee a security interest in any funds or other assets from time to time on deposit with or in possession of the Payee, and the Payee may, at any time set-off the indebtedness evidenced by this Note against any such funds or other assets, including but not limited to, all money owed by Payee to Maker, each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor whether or not due. Maker, each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor acknowledge and agree that Payee may exercise its right of set-off to pay all or any part of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest owed on this Note or on any other obligation of the Maker to the Payee against any obligation Payee may have, now or hereafter, to pay money to Maker, each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor. This right of set-off includes, but is not limited to, the following:

 

(a)           Any deposit, account balance, securities account balance or certificate of deposit balance Maker has with Payee whether special, general, time, savings, checking or NOW account; and

 

(b)           Any money owing to Maker on an item presented to Payee or in Payee’s possession for collection or exchange; and

 

(c)           Any repurchase agreement or any other non-deposit obligation or any credit in favor of Maker.

 

If any such money is also owned by some other person who has not agreed to pay this Note (such as another depositor on a joint account), Payee’s right of set-off will extend to the amount which could be withdrawn or paid directly to Maker on Maker’s request, endorsement or instruction alone. In addition, (where Maker may obtain payment from Payee only with the endorsement or consent of someone who has not agreed to pay this Note), Payee’s right of set-off will extend to Maker’s interest in the obligation. Payee’s right of set-off will not apply to any account if it clearly appears that Maker’s rights in the account are solely as a fiduciary for another, such as security deposits that are property of others but held by Maker in an account appropriately identified, or to any account.

 

4



 

which by its nature and applicable law (for example an IRA or other tax deferred retirement account), must be exempt from the claims of creditors.  Maker hereby appoints Payee as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes Payee to redeem or obtain payment on any certificate of deposit in which Maker has an interest in order to exercise Payee’s right of set-off. Such authorization applies to any certificate of deposit even if not matured. Maker further authorizes Payee to assess and withhold any early withdrawal penalty without liability against Payee in the event such penalty is applicable as a result of Payee’s set-off against a certificate of deposit prior to its maturity.

 

Payee’s right of set-off may be exercised upon an Event of Default:

 

(a)           Without prior demand or notice; and

 

(b)           Without regard to the existence or value of any collateral securing this Note; and

 

(c)           Without regard to the number or creditworthiness of any other persons who have agreed to pay this Note.

 

Payee will not be liable for dishonor of a check or other request for payment where there is insufficient funds in the account (or other obligation) to pay such request because of Payee’s exercise of its right of set-off. Maker agrees to indemnify and hold Payee harmless from any person’s claims, arising as the result of Payee’s right of set-off and the costs and expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees.

 

The Maker understands that the Payee may from time to time enter into a participation agreement or agreements with one or more participants pursuant to which such participant or participants shall be given participations in the loan evidenced by this Note and that such participants may from time to time similarly grant to other participants sub-participations in the loan evidenced by this Note. The Maker agrees that any participant and any sub-participant may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien or set-off, whether arising by operation of law or given to Payee by the provisions of this Note, with respect to the Maker as fully as if such participant or sub-participant had made the loan directly to the Maker. For the purposes of the paragraph only, the Maker shall be deemed to be directly obligated to each participant or sub-participant in the amount of its participating interest in the principal of, and the interest on, the loan evidenced by this Note.

 

Taxes.  All parties liable for the payment of this Note agree to pay all documentary stamp tax, nonrecurring intangible tax, and all interest and penalties, if any, on this Note and advances hereunder and on any instrument securing the foregoing or any guaranty thereof.

 

Collection Expenses.  All parties liable for the payment of the Note agree to pay the Payee all costs incurred by the Payee, whether or not an action be brought, in collecting the sums due under the Note, enforcing the performance and/or protecting its rights under the Loan Documents and in realizing on any of the security for the Note. Such costs and expenses shall include, but are not limited to, filing fees, costs of publication, deposition fees, stenographer fees, witness fees and other court and related costs. Sums advanced by the Payee for the payment of collection costs and expenses shall accrue interest at the Penalty Rate, from the time they are advanced or paid by the Payee, and shall be due and payable upon payment by Payee without notice or demand and shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage.

 

Attorneys’ Fees.  All parties liable for the payment of the Note agree to pay the Payee reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Payee, whether or not an action be brought, in collecting the sums due under the Note, enforcing the performance and/or protecting its rights under the Loan Documents and in realizing on any of the security for the Note. Such reasonable attorneys’ fees shall include, but not be limited to, fees for attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and expenses incurred in any and all judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative, receivership, or other proceedings effecting creditor’s rights and involving a claim under the Note or any Loan Document, which such proceedings may arise before or after entry of a final judgment. Such fees shall be paid regardless whether suit is brought and shall include all fees incurred by Payee at all trial and appellate levels including bankruptcy court. Sums advanced by the Payee for the payment of attorneys’ fees shall

 

5



 

accrue interest at the Penalty Rate, from the time they are advanced by the Payee, and shall be due and payable upon payment by Payee without notice or demand and shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage.

 

Waiver and Consent.  By the making, signing, endorsement or guaranty of this Note:

 

(a)           Maker and each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, suit against any party and all of the requirements necessary to hold any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor liable;

 

(b)           Each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor consents to any renewals or extensions of time for payment on this Note;

 

(c)           Maker and each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor consents to Payee’s release of, agreement not sue, suspension of the right to enforce this instrument against and discharge or compromise of any obligation of any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor, all without notice to or further reservations of rights against any of such parties, and all without in any way affecting or releasing the liability of any of such parties;

 

(d)           Maker and each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor waive and consent to the release, substitution, impairment, exchange and other dealing in any manner with all or any portion of any collateral securing this Note and any right of set-off that may now or hereafter secure this Note, all without notice to or further reservations of rights against any of such parties, and all without in any way affecting or releasing the liability of any of such parties, even though such release, substitution, impairment, exchange or other dealing may in any manner and to any extent impair any such collateral, lien or right of set-off;

 

(e)           Each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor consents to any modification of the terms of this Note or any other Loan Document;

 

(f)            Maker and each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor consent to any and all sales, repurchases, participations and sub-participations of this Note to or by any person or entity in any amounts and waive notice of such sales, repurchases, participations and sub-participations of this Note;

 

(g)           Maker and each co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor consent to Payee’s right of set-off as well as any participant’s or sub-participant’s right of set-off.

 

Usury Limitation.  The parties agree and intend to comply with the applicable usury law, and notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, or other document related to the loan evidenced by this Note, the effective rate of interest to be paid on this Note (including all costs, charges and fees which are characterized as interest under applicable law) shall not exceed the maximum contract rate of interest permitted under applicable law, as it exists from time to time. Payee agrees not to knowingly collect or charge interest (whether denominated as fees, interest or other charges) which will render the interest rate hereunder usurious, and if any payment of interest or fees by Maker to Payee would render this Note usurious, Maker agrees to give Payee written notice of such fact with or in advance of such payment. If Payee should receive any payment which constitutes interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful contract rate permitted under applicable law (whether denominated as interest, fees or other charges), the amount of interest received in excess of the maximum lawful rate shall automatically be applied to reduce the principal balance, regardless of how such sum is characterized or recorded by the parties.

 

Joint and Several.  The obligations of this Note shall be joint and several.

 

No Obligation to Extend.  On Maturity Date, or, if Maker shall have satisfied the conditions for extension of the term of this Note to the Extended Maturity Date, on Extended Maturity Date, Maker must repay the entire principal balance of this Note and unpaid interest then due. The Payee is under no obligation to refinance the Note at that time. Maker will therefore be required to make

 

6



 

payment out of other assets Maker may own, or Maker will have to find a lender willing to lend the money at prevailing market rates, which may be considerably higher than the interest rate on this Note.

 

Disclaimer of Relationship.  The Maker and all co-signers, endorsers, sureties and guarantors, if any, to this obligation acknowledge that:

 

(a)           The relationship between the Payee, Maker and any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor is one of creditor and debtor and not one of partner or joint venturer;

 

(b)           There exists no confidential or fiduciary relationship between Payee and Maker and any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor imposing a duty of disclosure upon the Payee; and

 

(c)           The Maker and any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor have not relied on any representation of the Payee regarding the merits of the use of proceeds of the loan. Maker and any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor waive any and all claims and causes of action which exist now or may exist in the future arising out of any breach or alleged breach of a duty on the part of the Payee to disclose any facts material to this loan transaction and the use of the proceeds.

 

Choice of Law and Venue.  This Note shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Florida, and the United States of America, whichever the context may require or permit. The Maker and all guarantors, if any, to this obligation expressly agree that proper venue for any action which may be brought under this Note in addition to any other venue permitted by law shall be any county in which property encumbered by the Mortgage is located as well as Orange County, Florida. Should Payee institute any action under this Note, the Maker and all guarantors, if any, hereby submit themselves to the jurisdiction of any court sitting in Florida.

 

Severability.  If any provision of this Note shall be held unenforceable or void, then such provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the validity of this Note.

 

Maker and Payee Defined.  The term “Maker” includes each and every person or entity signing this Note and any co-signers, guarantors, their successors and assigns; provided, however, that no party liable hereunder may assign or transfer his, her or its obligation hereunder without the written consent of the Payee. The term “Payee” shall include the Payee and any transferee and assignee of Payee or other holder of this Note.

 

Captions and Pronouns.  The captions and headings of the various sections of this Note are for convenience only, and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context requires or permits, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable.

 

Receipt of Copy.  By signing this Note, Maker acknowledges that it was read by Maker prior to execution and a copy was received by Maker.

 

Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to each provision in this Note where a time or date for performance is stated. All time periods or dates for performance stated in this Note are material provisions of this Note.

 

Documentary Stamps.  Florida Documentary stamp tax as required by Chapter 201 of the Florida Statutes in the amount required by Florida law have been paid and are affixed to the original Mortgage and Security Agreement, of even date herewith, which secures this Note.

 

Waiver of Trial by Jury.  The Maker hereby, and the Payee by its acceptance of this Note, knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive the right either may have to a trial by

 

7



 

jury in respect to any litigation arising out of, under, or in connection with this Note and all Loan Documents and other agreements executed or contemplated to be executed in connection herewith, or arising out of, under, or in connection with any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or action of either party, whether in connection with the making of the loan, collection of the loan, or otherwise. This provision is a material inducement for the Payee making the loan evidenced by this Note.

DOLLARS ($15,850,000.00), together with interest on the principal balance of this Future Advance and Renewal Note (the “Note”), from time to time remaining unpaid, from the date of disbursement by Lender at the applicable interest rate hereinafter set forth together with all other sums due hereunder or under the terms of the Mortgage (as hereinafter defined) in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts at the time of such payment the (“Loan”).  Both principal and interest and all other sums due hereunder shall be payable at the office of Lender at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio

43215-2220, Attention: Real Estate Investment Department, 34T, or at such other place either within or without the State of Ohio as Lender may from time to time designate. Said principal and interest shall be paid over a term, at the times, and in the manner set forth below, to wit:

 

Payment Provision:

 

(A)          Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date of disbursement hereof through February 29, 2004 at the rate of Six and Fifty-Four One Hundredths percent (6.54%) per annum, shall be due and payable on the disbursement date of the Loan;

 

(B)           Thereafter, monthly installments of principal and interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of Six and Fifty-Four One Hundredths percent (6.54%) per annum, shall be due and payable in one hundred nineteen (119) consecutive monthly installments commencing on April 1, 2004 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, with each such installment to be in the sum of One Hundred Seven Thousand Four Hundred Sixteen and 84/100 Dollars ($107,416.84), without deduction or set-off.

 

Maturity.

 

The unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued unpaid interest thereon, (if not sooner paid), shall be due and payable in full on March 1, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

Application of Payments.

 

All payments shall be applied first to any late payment or other such charges as provided in this Note or in the Mortgage, then to accrued unpaid interest on this Note, and the balance, if any, shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note (subject to the terms hereof). Interest due hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year (composed of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months) except the payment due under payment provision (A) above which shall be calculated on the actual number of days; provided, however, in no event shall the rate of interest payable under the terms of this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

Late Payment Charge.

 

Prior to the acceleration or maturity of this Note, Lender may collect a late payment charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of any full monthly installment not received by the due date. Such late payment charge shall constitute liquidated damages for the purpose of covering the extra expenses involved in handling delinquent installments and Lender may collect such late payment charges even though it has not given any notice to Borrower of such late payment or a cure period, if any, has not passed; provided that such late payment charge shall

 

2



 

not, together with other interest to be paid on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or indebtedness arising under any instrument securing the payment hereof, exceed the maximum interest permitted under applicable law. Borrower acknowledges that the late payment charge is a fair and reasonable estimate, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of execution of this Note, of the cost the Lender will incur by reason of such late payment.

 

Prepayment.

 

(A)          Except as hereinafter provided, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any part of the Loan at any time. Borrower shall have the right to prepay, in full but not in part, the Loan evidenced by this Note, provided that, as conditions precedent, Borrower: (i) gives Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ prior Written Notice (as defined in the Mortgage) of Borrower’s intention to so prepay this Note; and (ii) pays to Lender the Prepayment Premium (as hereinafter defined), if any, then due and payable to Lender as hereinafter provided.  As used herein, the term “Prepayment Premium” shall mean a sum equal to the greater of either: (i) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the time of prepayment; or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the present value of the scheduled monthly payments due under this Note from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date, and (b) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due under this Note on the Maturity Date (assuming all scheduled monthly payments due prior to the Maturity Date were made when due), minus (c) the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment. The present values described in (a) and (b) shall be computed on a monthly basis as of the date of prepayment discounted at the yield-to-maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond closest in maturity to the Maturity Date of this Note as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published, as reported in such other daily financial publication of national circulation which shall be designated by Lender) on the fifth (5) business day preceding the date of prepayment.  Borrower shall be obligated to prepay this Note on the date set forth in the notice to Lender required hereinabove, after such notice has been delivered to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, if Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any escrowed amounts, if applicable, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note in the manner provided in the Mortgage, no Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable as a result of such application, and the monthly installments due and payable hereunder shall be reduced accordingly.

 

(B)           In the event the Maturity Date of the Loan evidenced by this Note is accelerated by Lender at any time due to a default by Borrower under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then a tender of payment in an amount necessary to satisfy the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note together with all accrued unpaid interest hereon made by Borrower, or by anyone on behalf of Borrower, at any time prior to, at, or as a result of, a foreclosure sale or sale pursuant to power of sale, shall constitute a voluntary prepayment hereunder prior to the contracted Maturity Date of this Note thus requiring the payment to Lender of a Prepayment Premium equal to the applicable Prepayment Premium as set forth in paragraph (A) above; provided, however, that in the event such Prepayment Premium is construed to be interest under the laws of the State of Florida in any circumstance, such payment shall not be required to the extent that the amount thereof, together with other interest payable hereunder, exceeds the maximum rate of interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law.

 

3



 

(C)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, during the ninety (90)-day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date of this Note, the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued unpaid interest on this Note may be prepaid in full, but not in part, at par, without incurring a Prepayment Premium.

 

Additional Conditions.

 

This Note is secured by, among other things, a Notice of Future Advance, Mortgage Modification and Amended and Restated Mortgage and Security Agreement (the “Mortgage”) and by an Amended and Restated Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (the “Assignment”) of even date herewith, encumbering certain real property described therein and located in Brevard County, State of Florida and certain other property, all as more particularly described in the Mortgage (collectively, the “Property”).  The Mortgage and the Assignment contain terms and provisions which provide grounds for acceleration of the Loan evidenced by this Note, together with additional remedies in the event of default hereunder or thereunder. Failure on the part of Lender to exercise any right granted herein or in the Mortgage or the Assignment or any other Loan Document shall not constitute a waiver of such right, or preclude Lender’s subsequent exercise and enforcement thereof. This Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and all other documents and instruments executed as further evidence of, as additional security for, or executed in connection with, the Loan evidenced by this Note are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, all parties to this Note, including endorsers, sureties and guarantors, if any, hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity of this Note, notice of acceleration of the maturity of this Note, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever, and agree to remain bound hereby until the principal, interest and all other obligations arising under this Note are paid in full, notwithstanding any extensions of time for payment which may be granted by Lender, even though the period of extension be indefinite, and notwithstanding any inaction by, or failure to assert any legal rights available to Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If the obligations evidenced by this Note, or any part thereof, are placed in the hands of an attorney or other person for collection, whether by suit or otherwise, at any time, or from time to time, Borrower shall be liable to Lender, in each instance, for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees (as hereinafter defined).

 

Default.

 

If Borrower defaults under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, then in any or all of such events, at the option of Lender, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon and all other obligations arising under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, may be accelerated by Lender and may become and be immediately due and payable then or thereafter as Lender may elect, regardless of the Maturity Date hereof. All such amounts shall bear interest after maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, at the lesser of either: (i) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the laws of the

 

4



 

State of Florida or, if controlling, the laws of the United States; or (ii) the then applicable interest rate of this Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum.

 

During the existence of any such default, which remains uncured beyond any applicable grace or cure period, Lender may apply any sums received, including but not limited to insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, to any amount then due and owing hereunder or under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents as Lender may determine.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein granted unto Lender to apply such proceeds as aforesaid shall serve to cure the default or preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the entire Loan evidenced by this Note to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default under the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, Lender’s right, power and privilege to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be conditioned upon, with respect to any Non-Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined), Lender giving Borrower Written Notice of such Non-Monetary Default and a thirty (30)-day period, after the date of such notice, within which to cure such Non-Monetary Default, unless such Non-Monetary Default cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30)-day time period, in which event Borrower shall have an extended period of time to complete such cure, provided that action to cure such Non-Monetary Default has commenced within said thirty (30)-day period and Borrower is, in Lender’s sole judgment, not diminishing or impairing the value of the Property, and is diligently pursuing a cure to completion, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days.  Any notice required hereunder shall be given as provided in the Mortgage. Lender shall have no obligation to give Borrower notice of, or any period to cure, any Monetary Default or any Incurable Default (as hereinafter defined) prior to exercising Lender’s right, power and privilege to accelerate the maturity of the Loan evidenced hereby, to declare the same to be immediately due and payable, and to exercise all other rights and remedies herein granted or otherwise available to Lender at law or in equity.  As used herein, the term “Monetary Default” shall mean any default which can be cured by the payment of money, including but not limited to, the payment of principal and/or interest due under this Note and the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when due as provided in the Mortgage.  As used herein, the term “Non-Monetary Default” shall mean any default which is not a Monetary Default or an Incurable Default.  As used herein, the term “Incurable Default” shall mean either: (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, mortgaging or transfer of the Property or ownership interests in Borrower in violation of the covenants of the Mortgage; or (ii) if Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower, should make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, become insolvent, or file (or have filed against it) a petition in bankruptcy (including but not limited to, a petition seeking a rearrangement or reorganization) which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the filing of same.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, during any period of default and regardless of any cure period applicable to such default, in each instance under this Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents in which either: (i) Borrower is permitted to take a material action without Lender’s consent; or (ii) Lender’s consent is to be exercised reasonably, Lender’s consent shall be required and shall be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

Savings Clause; Severability.

 

It is the intent of Borrower and Lender in the execution of this Note and all other instruments now or hereafter securing this Note to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Note, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law.  Neither Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law, and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of this Note and any other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith.  Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated. If the maturity of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of this Note is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan evidenced by this Note exceeds the maximum permitted by applicable law, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest.  In the event that Lender shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination be immediately returned to Borrower, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of this Note, Borrower acknowledges that it believes the Loan evidenced by this Note to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to believe that such Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that Lender shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists. The term “applicable law” or “applicable usury law” as used in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of Florida or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest and do not violate the laws of the State of Florida, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future. If any clauses or provisions herein contained operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then such clauses or provisions only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained and the remainder of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

 

Exculpation.

 

The liability of Borrower with respect to the payment of principal and interest shall be “non-recourse”. Except as hereinafter provided, Lender’s source of satisfaction of Borrower’s obligations under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the Property and Lender’s receipt of the rents, issues and profits from the Property and any other security or

 

6



 

collateral now or hereafter held by Lender, and Lender shall not seek to procure payment out of any other assets of Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower, or to seek judgment (except as hereinafter provided) for any sums which are or may be payable under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, as well as any claim or judgment (except as hereafter provided) for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a release or impairment of the Loan evidenced by this Note or the security therefor intended by the other Loan Documents, or be deemed to preclude Lender from exercising its rights to foreclose the Mortgage or to enforce any of its other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including but not limited to that certain Guaranty of even date herewith from Ernie Euler and Mike Renfro (the “Guarantors”) to Lender (the “Guaranty”).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the aforesaid limitation on liability shall in no way affect or apply to the continued personal liability of Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Lender due to:

 

(1)           fraud, willful misconduct or material misrepresentation made by Borrower or Guarantors in or in connection with the Application for Mortgage Loan dated February 18, 2003, modified by Lender on May 27, 2003, further modified by Lender on January 27, 2003, and accepted by Borrower on                                 and any subsequent amendments thereto, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(2)           the failure of Borrower to pay taxes which accrue prior to Lender taking control of the Property or to pay assessments or any other governmental impositions, charges for labor incurred by Borrower, charges for materials incurred by Borrower or any other charges incurred by Borrower which may create liens on any portion of the Property;

 

(3)           the misapplication or misappropriation of (i) proceeds of insurance covering any portion of the Property; (ii) proceeds of the sale, condemnation or transfer in lieu of condemnation of any portion of the Property; or (iii) rentals received by or on behalf of Borrower subsequent to the date on which Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to any of the Loan Documents;

 

(4)           causing or permitting waste or causing arson to occur in, on or about the Property, and failing to maintain the Property, except for ordinary wear and tear;

 

(5)           Borrower’s failure to return to Lender all unearned advance rentals and security deposits that have been paid by tenants of the Property to the extent that such amounts have not been refunded to or forfeited by such tenants;

 

(6)           the failure by Borrower to pay any and all tenant improvement allowances owed to tenants leasing space in the Property;

 

7



 

(7)           the failure by Borrower to pay to Lender any and all fees paid to Borrower by any tenant of the Property which fees permit the tenant to terminate its lease or otherwise abandon or vacate its leased premises;

 

(8)           loss by fire or any other casualty to the extent not compensated by insurance proceeds collected by or remitted to Lender, as a result of Borrower’s failure to comply with the insurance provisions of the Mortgage;

 

(9)           the failure to return to or reimburse Lender for all Fixtures and Personal Property (as defined in the Mortgage) owned by Borrower and taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower, out of the ordinary course of business, and not replaced by items with values equal to or greater than the original values of the Fixtures and Personal Property so removed;

 

(10)         all court costs and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees (as hereinafter defined) actually incurred by Lender for which Borrower is liable pursuant to the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(11)         (i) the removal of any chemical, material or substance in excess of legal limits or which is required by any governmental entity, to which exposure is prohibited, limited or regulated by any federal, state, county or local authority, and which may or could pose a hazard to the health and safety of the occupants of the Property (which substances are also further defined in the Mortgage as “Hazardous Materials”), regardless of the source of origination (including sources off the Property which migrate onto the Property or its groundwater); (ii) the restoration of the Property to comply with all governmental regulations pertaining to Hazardous Materials found in, on or under the Property, regardless of the source of origination (including sources off the Property which migrate onto the Property or its groundwater); and (iii) any indemnity or other agreement to hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs and expenses of any and every kind arising as a result of the existence and/or removal of Hazardous Materials in violation of Hazardous Waste Laws and from the violation of Hazardous Waste Laws (as defined in the Mortgage).  Borrower shall not be liable hereunder if the Property becomes contaminated (a) subsequent to Lender’s acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, or (b) subsequent to any transfer of ownership of the Property which was approved or authorized in writing by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage, provided that such transferee assumes in writing all obligations of Borrower with respect to compliance with Hazardous Waste Laws under the Mortgage and the Indemnity Agreement by Borrower and executed of even date herewith. Liability under this subsection (11) shall extend beyond repayment of the Loan and compliance with the terms of the Note and compliance with the terms of the Mortgage unless Borrower at such time provides Lender with an environmental assessment report acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, showing the Property to be free of Hazardous Materials and not in violation of Hazardous Waste Laws. The burden of proof under this subparagraph with regard to establishing the date upon which

 

8



 

such Hazardous Materials were placed or appeared in, on or under the Property shall be upon Borrower;

 

(12)         (i) any and all costs incurred in order to cause the Property to comply with any applicable Accessibility Laws (as defined in the Mortgage) and (ii) any indemnity or other agreements to hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs or expenses of any kind arising as a result of non-compliance with any applicable Accessibility Laws.  Borrower shall not be liable hereunder for compliance with any applicable Accessibility Laws that first become effective, or for any violation of any applicable Accessibility Laws resulting from alterations or improvements to the Property that are performed subsequent to Lender’s acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof or subsequent to any transfer of ownership of the Property which was approved or authorized in writing by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage, provided that such transferee assumes in writing all obligations of Borrower pertaining to any applicable Accessibility Laws pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.  The burden of proof under this subparagraph with regard to establishing the date upon which such non-compliance with any Accessibility Laws occurred at the Property shall be upon Borrower; and

 

(13)         failure to remit to Lender any amounts under any letter of credit (or any renewals and/or replacements thereof) supplied by Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents in the event that the bank issuing such letter of credit becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or is closed (either temporarily or permanently), is placed in receivership, conservatorship or liquidation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Resolution Trust Corporation or any other governmental or quasi-governmental entity, or otherwise fails or refuses to honor such letter of credit or otherwise fails to maintain certain criteria required by Lender; and

 

(14)         failure to timely pay any amounts payable for all state documentary stamp taxes and intangible personal property taxes, if any, which may be levied or assessed against the Loan, this Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, together with all interest penalties or charges in connection therewith.

 

The obligations of Borrower in subsections (1) through (14) above, except as specifically provided in subsections (11) and (12), shall survive the repayment of the Loan evidenced by this Note, and satisfaction of the Mortgage unless such repayment is in the full amount of all sums due and owing under the Loan and such repayment occurs prior to a default under the Loan resulting in the foreclosure of the Mortgage or transfer of the Property in lieu of foreclosure.

 

Full Recourse.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions in this Note to the contrary, including without limitation the provisions set forth in the section captioned “Exculpation” hereinabove, Borrower shall be personally liable, jointly and severally, for the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note (including all principal, interest and other charges) in the event (i) Borrower violates the

 

9



 

covenant governing the placing of subordinate financing on the Property as set forth in the Mortgage; (ii) Borrower violates the covenant restricting transfers of interests in the Property or transfers of ownership interests in Borrower as set forth in the Mortgage; or (iii) there is filed against Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, a petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver, or there commences under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, proceedings for Borrower’s relief, or for the compromise, extension, arrangement or adjustment of Borrower’s obligations which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the filing of same.

 

Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

BORROWER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES HEREBY THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, AGAINST LENDER, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, ACT, OMISSION, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PERSON (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LENDER’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH LENDER), IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN ANY COUNTERCLAIM WHICH ANY PARTY MAY BE PERMITTED TO ASSERT THEREUNDER, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL LENDER, ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITY) AND BY ITS EXECUTION HEREOF, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CLAIM OR SEEK ANY SUCH DAMAGES.

 

Captions.

 

The captions set forth at the beginning of the various paragraphs of this Note are for convenience only, and shall not be used to interpret or construe the provisions of this Note.

 

Attorneys’ Fees.

 

As used herein, the phrase “Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees” shall mean fees charged by attorneys selected by Lender based upon such attorneys’ then prevailing hourly rates as opposed to any statutory presumption specified by any statute then in effect in the State of Florida.

 

Applicable Laws.

 

This Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  The parties hereto irrevocably; (i) agree that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note may be brought in a court of record

 

10



 

in the State of Florida or in the courts of the United States of America located in such state; (ii) consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding; and (iii) waive any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

Modifications.

 

This Note may not be amended or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

 

Time of the Essence.

 

In connection with the Loan and this Note, time shall be of the essence.

The terms, conditions, obligations and liabilities of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. If Borrower is comprised of more than one (1) person or entity, then the liability of each such person and entity hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

Authorization.

 

By its signature below, Borrower represents and warrants that the Loan transaction contemplated by this Note and any of the other Loan Documents have been properly authorized by Borrower’s governing or managing body, and that the person signing on behalf of Borrower has been duly authorized to sign for, and hereto bind the Borrower.

Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign this Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement.  Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such securities or any credit rating agency rating such securities (collectively, the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan and to Borrower, any guarantor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to satisfy such purchasers or participants that the unpaid indebtedness evidenced by this Note is outstanding upon the terms and provisions set out in this Note and the other Loan Documents. To the extent, if any, specified in such assignment or participation, such assignee(s) or participant(s) shall have the rights and benefits with respect to this Note and the other Loan Documents as such assignee(s) or participant(s) would have if they were the Lender hereunder.

If the insurance required under this Section 8 or any portion thereof is maintained pursuant to a blanket policy, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a certified copy of such policy, together with an original Evidence of Insurance Certificate (Acord Form 27) for hazard insurance indicating that Lender is an additional insured under such policy in regard to the Property and showing the amount of coverage apportioned to the Property, which coverage shall be in an amount sufficient to satisfy the requirements hereof.  Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of each policy required of Borrower hereunder, Borrower will deliver to Lender a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by other evidence of payment and renewal satisfactory to Lender. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower, in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums, and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Borrower will not be required to maintain Hazard Insurance with respect to the property and improvements located at Lot 3, Wal-Mart at Viera, as recorded in Plat Book 48, Page 79, 80 & 81, of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida (the World Bank ground lease parcel).

 

In the event of loss by reason of hazards, casualties, contingencies and perils for which insurance has been required by Lender hereunder, Borrower shall give immediate notice thereof

 

12



 

to Lender.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest for Lender to, at its option, make proof of loss and/or to file a claim thereunder. Each insurance company concerned is hereby notified, authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to Lender, instead of to Borrower and Lender jointly, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to adjust and compromise any losses for which insurance proceeds are payable under any of the aforesaid insurance policies and, after deducting the costs of collection, to apply the proceeds of such insurance, at its option either: (a) to the restoration or repair of the insured Improvements, Appurtenances, and Fixtures and Personal Property, provided that, in the opinion and sole discretion of Lender, such restoration or repair is reasonably practical and, provided further, that, in the opinion and sole discretion of Lender, either: (i) the insurance proceeds so collected are sufficient to cover the cost of such restoration or repair of the damage or destruction with respect to which such proceeds were paid, or (ii) the insurance proceeds so collected are not sufficient alone to cover the cost of such restoration or repair, but are sufficient therefor when taken together with funds provided and made available by Borrower from other sources; in which event Lender shall make such insurance proceeds available to Borrower for the purpose of effecting such restoration or repair, but Lender shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of such insurance proceeds nor shall the amount of funds so released or used be deemed to be payment of or on account of the Loan secured hereby; or (b) to the reduction of the Loan, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said Loan is otherwise adequately secured, in which event such proceeds shall be applied at par against the Loan secured hereby and the monthly payment due on account of such Loan shall be reduced accordingly as calculated by Lender. None of such actions taken by Lender shall be deemed to be or result in a waiver or impairment of any equity, lien or right of Lender under and by virtue of this Mortgage, nor will the application of such insurance proceeds to the reduction of the Loan serve to cure any default in the payment thereof. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

 

In case of Borrower’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Lender, its successors or assigns, may, at its option (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrower’s sole expense.

 

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8 to the contrary, in the event of loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty for which insurance has been required by Lender and provided by Borrower, and (a) the amount of such loss or damage does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the unpaid principal balance of the Note, or (b) restoration is required by the terms of a Major Tenant Lease, Lender hereby agrees to allow the proceeds of insurance to be used for the restoration of the Property and to release such insurance proceeds to Borrower as such restoration progresses, provided:

 

(a)           Borrower is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure periods under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

13



 

(b)           The Improvements, after such restoration, shall be at least eighty percent (80%) leased pursuant to leases approved in writing by Lender;

 

(c)           The plans and specifications for the restoration of the Property are approved in writing by Lender in advance;

 

(d)           At all times during such restoration, Borrower has deposited with Lender funds which, when added to the insurance proceeds received by Lender, are sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances, regulations and Accessibility Laws, and further, that the funds retained by Lender are sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property as certified to Lender by Lender’s inspecting architect/engineer;

 

(e)           Borrower provides suitable completion, payment and performance bonds, builders’ all risk insurance, and all necessary licenses and permits for such restoration in form and amount acceptable to Lender;

 

(f)            The insurer under such policies of fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under such policies against Lender, Borrower, any tenant, or third party of Borrower with regard to the Property;

 

(g)           Lender shall have the option, upon the completion of such restoration of the Property, to apply any surplus insurance proceeds remaining after the completion of such restoration, at par, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Note; notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said Loan is otherwise adequately secured;

 

(h)           The funds held by Lender shall be disbursed no more often than once per month and in not more than five (5) increments of not less than FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) each, except the final disbursement of such funds which may be in an amount less than FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00);

 

(i)            Lender’s obligation to make any such disbursement shall be conditioned upon Lender’s receipt of written certification from Lender’s inspecting architect/engineer (whose reasonable fees shall be reimbursed to Lender by Borrower) that all construction and work for which such disbursement is requested has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and in accordance with all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances and all other Laws and, further, that Borrower has deposited with Lender sufficient funds to complete such restoration in accordance with Section 8(d); and

 

(j)            Lender shall be entitled to require and to impose such other conditions to the release of such funds as would be customarily or reasonably be required and imposed by local construction lenders for a project of similar nature and cost.

 

9.             Liability Insurance. Borrower shall carry and maintain such commercial general liability insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender, taking into consideration the type of property being insured and the corresponding liability exposure, on forms, with deductibles, in amounts and with such company or companies licensed to do

 

14



 

business in the state where the Property is located and as may be acceptable to Lender. All such commercial general liability insurance shall be carried with a company or companies which have and maintain a rating equivalent to at least AA:X as shown in the most recent Best’s Key Rating Guide.  The original policy or policies and all renewals thereof (or, at the sole option of Lender, duplicate originals or certified copies thereof), together with a Certificate of Insurance (Acord Form 25S) and receipts evidencing payment of the premium therefor, shall be deposited with, held by and are hereby assigned to, Lender as additional security for the Loan secured hereby. Such policy or policies of insurance shall name Lender as an additional insured and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior Written Notice to Lender of any intent to modify, cancel, non-renew, or terminate the policy or policies or the expiration of such policy or policies of insurance, or the exclusion of any individual risk such as acts of terrorism. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of each policy or policies required of Borrower hereunder, Borrower will deliver to Lender a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by other evidence of payment and renewal satisfactory to Lender.  In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower, in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums, and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.  In case of Borrower’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Lender, its successors or assigns, may, at its option (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrower’s sole expense.

 

10.           Compliance With Laws.

 

(a)           Borrower shall observe, abide by and comply with all federal, regional, state and local laws, codes, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, decisions, orders, requirements or decrees relating to the Property enacted, promulgated or issued by any federal, state, county or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority or any agency or subdivision thereof having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property, which now or hereafter affect Borrower or the Property, including Hazardous Waste Laws and Accessibility Laws (collectively, the “Laws”), and to observe and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses, permits (including, but not limited to, zoning, variances, special exceptions and nonconforming uses), privileges, franchises and concessions which are applicable to the Property, or which have been granted to or contracted for by Borrower in connection with any existing, presently contemplated or future uses of the Property.

 

(b)           Borrower shall not engage in any transaction, which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of this Mortgage, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject

15



 

to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

 

(i)            Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(b)(2);

 

(ii)           Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)(2);or

 

(iii)          Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R § 2510.3-101(c) or (e) or an investment company registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

11.           Maintenance of Permits. Borrower shall obtain, keep and constantly maintain in full force and effect during the entire term of this Mortgage, all certificates, licenses and permits necessary to keep the Property operating for the Existing Use and, except as specifically provided for in this Mortgage, not to assign, transfer or in any manner change such certificates, licenses or permits without first receiving the written consent of Lender.

 

12.           Obligations of Borrower as Lessor.

 

(a)           Borrower shall perform every obligation of Borrower (as the landlord) and enforce every obligation of the tenant in any and every lease, license or other occupancy agreement of or affecting the Property or any part thereof (the “Occupancy Leases”), and not to modify, alter, waive or cancel any such Occupancy Leases or any part thereof or rights thereunder, without the prior written consent of Lender (but such consent shall not be required for such action as to Occupancy Leases of three thousand (3,000) square feet or less if such action is in the ordinary course of business of owning and operating the Property in a prudent and business-like manner, on then current market terms), nor collect for more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date due any Rents that may be collectible under any such Occupancy Leases and, except as provided for in this Mortgage, not to assign any such Occupancy Lease(s) or any such Rents relating thereto, to any party other than Lender, without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower will notify Lender in writing of any default under any Occupancy Lease. In the event of default under any such Occupancy Lease by reason of failure of Borrower to keep or perform one or more of the covenants, agreements or conditions thereof, Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, and may, at its sole option, remedy, remove or cure any such default, and further, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion but without obligation to do so, pay any sum of money deemed necessary by Lender for the performance of said covenants, agreements and conditions, or for the curing or removal of any such default, and incur all expenses and obligations which Lender may consider necessary or reasonable in connection therewith, and Borrower shall repay on demand all such sums so paid or advanced by Lender together with interest thereon until paid at the lesser of either: (i) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (ii) the then applicable interest rate of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of such sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become part of the Loan.

 

16



 

(b)           All such Occupancy Leases hereafter made shall be subject to the approval of Lender and: (i) shall be at competitive market rental rates then prevailing in the geographic area for projects used for the Existing Use comparable to the Property; (ii) shall have lease terms of not less than three (3) years; and (iii) at Lender’s option, shall be superior or subordinate in all respects to the lien of this Mortgage. Provided, however, that Lender shall not require approval in advance of any Occupancy Leases which conform to the Borrower’s Form Lease (as hereinafter defined) as previously approved by Lender, except as set forth below. Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein granted unto Lender to keep or perform any such covenants, agreements or conditions as aforesaid shall preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the whole Loan secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default in keeping or performing any such covenants, agreements or conditions.

 

(c)           Lender has approved a form of Occupancy Lease to be used by Borrower in connection with the Property (the “Form Lease”).  Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, modify or alter the Form Lease in any material respect. In addition, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, surrender, terminate, modify or alter, either orally or in writing, any Occupancy Lease now existing or hereafter made with any Major Tenant (as hereinafter defined) for all or part of the Property, permit an assignment or sublease of any such Occupancy Lease, or request or consent to the subordination of any Occupancy Lease to any lien subordinate to this Mortgage. Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of all executed Occupancy Leases of all or any part of the Property now existing or hereafter made, and Borrower shall assign to Lender (which assignment shall be in form and content acceptable to Lender), as additional security for the Note and the Loan, all Occupancy Leases now existing or hereafter made for all or any part of the Property. Additionally, if any Occupancy Lease contains a provision allowing the tenant to terminate their lease upon payment of a lease termination fee, Borrower agrees that all such sums shall constitute rent, and shall be paid to Lender so long as this Mortgage is in effect.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing approval by Lender of Borrower’s Form Lease, Lender hereby specifically reserves the right to approve all prospective tenants under all Occupancy Leases hereafter proposed to be made if either: (i) the term thereof, excluding options to renew the same, exceeds five (5) years; or (ii) the net rentable area to be occupied thereunder, including expansion options, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the net leasable area of each of the buildings comprising the Improvements (the tenants under such leases being hereinafter referred to as “Major Tenants”). Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of all prospective Major Tenants, and shall deliver to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, a copy of the prospective Major Tenant’s current financial statement and the most recent Dun & Bradstreet credit report on said prospective Major Tenant. The financial statement delivered to Lender hereunder shall be certified as true and correct by the Major Tenant, or, if available, by a certified public accountant. If Lender fails to respond within ten (10) business days after receipt from Borrower of an Occupancy Lease, together with tenant credit information, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Occupancy Lease; provided that all items so submitted shall be sent certified mail, labeled with the following statement: “TIME SENSITIVE RESPONSE REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ACTUAL RECEIPT.

 

17



 

(d)           In no event shall Borrower exercise any right to relocate any lessee outside the Property pursuant to any right set forth in an Occupancy Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

13.           Maintenance of Parking & Access; Prohibition Against Alteration; Separate Tax Lot.

 

(a)           Borrower shall construct, keep and constantly maintain, as the case may be, all curbs, drives, parking areas and the number of parking spaces heretofore approved by Lender, or heretofore or hereafter required by any Laws or any governmental body, agency or authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property, and as required by the terms of the Occupancy Leases, and not to alter, erect, build or construct upon any portion of the Property, any building, structure or improvement of any kind whatsoever, the erection, building or construction of which has not been previously approved by Lender in writing, which approval shall be at the sole discretion of Lender provided, however, that the initial construction of World Savings Bank and other tenant buildout pursuant to approved Occupancy Leases, which is ongoing as of the date hereof, is specifically permitted.

 

(b)           Borrower shall cause the Property to remain separately assessed for real estate tax purposes as a separate tax lot or lots.

 

14.           Execution of Additional Documents. Borrower shall do, make, execute, acknowledge, witness and deliver all deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, estoppel certificates, subordination non-disturbance and attornments, notices of assignments, transfers, assurances, security agreements, financing statements and renewals thereof, and all other instruments or other acts necessary, as Lender shall from time to time require for the purpose of better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, securing and confirming unto Lender the Property and rights hereby encumbered, created, conveyed, assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be encumbered, created, conveyed or assigned, or which Borrower may now be or may hereafter become bound to encumber, create, convey or assign to Leader, or for the purpose of carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and to pay all filing, registration or recording fees and all taxes, costs and other expenses, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment, delivery and recordation of any of the same. By signing this Mortgage, Borrower authorizes Lender to file such financing statements, with or without the signature of Borrower, as Lender may elect, as may be necessary or desirable to perfect the lien of Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property. Without limiting any other provision herein, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file one or more financing statements and any renewal or continuation statements thereof, describing the Property and the proceeds of the Property, including, without limitation, a financing statement covering “all assets of Borrower all proceeds therefrom, and all rights and privileges with respect thereto”. Borrower further authorizes Lender to file, with or without any additional signature from Borrower, as Lender may elect, such amendments and continuation statements as Lender may deem necessary or desirable from time to time to perfect or continue the lien of Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property. Borrower hereby ratifies any financing statements that may have been filed by Lender in advance of the date hereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.

 

18



 

15.           After Acquired Property Secured. Borrower shall subject to the lien of this Mortgage all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Property hereinabove described, hereafter acquired by or released to Borrower, or constructed, assembled or placed by Borrower on the Real Property, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby,  immediately upon such acquisition,  release,  construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case, without any further mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance, conveyance, assignment or other act by Borrower, as fully, completely and with the same effect as though now owned by Borrower and specifically described herein, but at any and all times, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all such further assurances, mortgages, deeds of trust, conveyances, security agreements, financing statements or assignments thereof or security interests therein as Lender may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien of this Mortgage.

 

16.           Payments by Lender on Behalf of Borrower.  Borrower shall make payment of any taxes, assessments or public charges on or with respect to the Property before the same shall become delinquent, or to make payment of any insurance premiums or other charges, impositions, or liens herein or elsewhere required to be paid by Borrower, or if Borrower shall fail so to do, then Lender, at its sole option, but without obligation to do so, may make payment or payments of the same and also may redeem the Property from tax sale without any obligation to inquire into the validity of such taxes, assessments, charges, impositions or liens. In the case of any such payment by Lender, Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender, upon demand therefor, the amount of such payment and of any fees and expenses attendant in making the same, together with interest thereon at the lesser of either: (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable interest rate of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; and until paid such amounts and interest shall be added to and become part of the Loan secured hereby to the same extent that this Mortgage secures the repayment of the Loan.  In making payments authorized by the provisions of this Section 16, Lender may do so whenever, in Lender’s sole judgment and discretion, such advance or advances are necessary or desirable to protect the full security intended to be afforded by this Mortgage.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the rights herein granted to Lender to make any such payments as aforesaid shall preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the Loan secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default in making such payments as hereinabove required.

 

17.           Funds Held by Lender for Taxes, Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges. In order to more fully protect the security of this Mortgage, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, together with and in addition to each monthly payment due on account of the Loan, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual total of such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges (all as estimated by Lender in its sole discretion) so that, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, Lender shall be able to pay in full all such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges as the same shall become due. Lender may hold the sums so deposited without paying interest, commingle same with its general funds and/or apply the same to the payment of said taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other charges as they become due and payable.  If at any time the funds so held by Lender are insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other charges as they become

 

19



 

due and payable, Borrower shall immediately, upon Written Notice and demand by Lender, deposit with Lender the amount of such deficiency. The failure on the part of Borrower to do so shall entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to make such payments in accordance with the rights and pursuant to the conditions elsewhere provided in this Mortgage. Whenever any default exists under this Mortgage, Lender may, at Lender’s sole option but without an obligation so to do, apply any funds so held by Lender pursuant to this Section 17 toward the payment of the Loan, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan may otherwise be adequately secured, in such order and manner of application as Lender may elect.

 

18.           Condemnation: Eminent Domain. All claims and rights of action for, and all awards and other compensation heretofore or hereafter made to Borrower and all subsequent owners of the Property in any taking by eminent domain, recovery for inverse condemnation or by deed in lieu thereof, whether permanent or temporary, of all or any part of the Property or any easement or any appurtenance thereto, including severance and consequential damages and change in grade of any way, street, avenue, road, alley, passage or public place, are hereby assigned to Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, and authorizes, directs and empowers Lender, at the option of Lender as said attorney-in-fact, on behalf of Borrower, its successors and assigns, to adjust or compromise the claim for any such award, and alone to collect and receive the proceeds thereof, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor and, after deducting any expenses of collection, at Lender’s sole option either:

 

(a)           to apply the net proceeds as a credit upon any portion of the Loan, as selected by Lender, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable, or that the Loan is otherwise adequately secured. In the event Lender applies such awards to the reduction of the outstanding Loan evidenced by the Note, such proceeds shall be applied at par, and the monthly installments due and payable under the Note shall be reduced accordingly as calculated by Lender; however no such application shall serve to cure an existing default of Borrower; or

 

(b)           to hold said proceeds without any allowance of interest, and make the same available for restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements. In the event that Lender elects to make said proceeds available to reimburse Borrower for the cost of the restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements on the Real Property, such proceeds shall be made available in the manner and under the same conditions as required under Section 8 hereof.  If the proceeds are made available by Lender to reimburse Borrower for the cost of said restoration or rebuilding, any surplus which may remain out of said award after payment of such cost of restoration or rebuilding, shall be applied on account of the Loan at par notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan may otherwise be adequately secured.

 

Borrower further covenants and agrees to give Lender immediate notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings under eminent domain, and to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceedings. Borrower further covenants and agrees to make, execute and deliver to Lender, at any time or times, upon request, free, clear and discharged of any encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, any and all further

 

20



 

assignments and/or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender for the purpose of validly and sufficiently assigning all such awards and other compensation heretofore or hereafter made to Lender (including the assignment of any award from the United States government at any time after the allowance of the claim therefor, the ascertainment of the amount thereof and the issuance of the warrant for payment thereof).

 

If either: (i) any part of any of the Improvements situated on the Real Property shall be condemned by any governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (ii) lands constituting a portion of the Real Property shall be condemned by any governmental authority having jurisdiction, in either case such that the remaining Property is in violation of applicable parking, zoning, platting, or other ordinances, or fails to comply with the terms of the Occupancy Leases with Major Tenants, then Lender shall be entitled to application of condemnation proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of the Note at par, and the right to accelerate the maturity date of the Note and require payment in full without the imposition of a Prepayment Premium.

 

19.           Costs of Collection. In the event that the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or in the event that Lender shall become a party either as plaintiff or as defendant, in any action, suit, appeal or legal proceeding (including, without limitation, foreclosure, condemnation, bankruptcy, administrative proceedings or any proceeding wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed), hearing, motion or application before any court or administrative body in relation to the Property or the lien and security interest granted or created hereby or herein, or for the recovery or protection of the Loan or the Property, or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or for the enforcement of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall indemnify, save, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by Lender on account thereof, and Borrower shall repay, on demand, all such Losses, together with interest thereon until paid at the lesser of either (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of which sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become a part of the Loan.

 

20.           Default Rate. Any sums not paid when due, whether maturing by lapse of time or by reason of acceleration under the provisions of the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and whether principal, interest or money owing for advancements pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of either (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of which sums shall be added to and become a part of the Loan.

 

21.           Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Note or in this Mortgage to the contrary, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, including but not limited to Prepayment Premiums, default interest and late payment charges, shall not exceed the limits imposed by the Laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, relating to maximum allowable charges of interest.  Lender shall not be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on the Loan, any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be charged by any Laws. In the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be

 

21



 

applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Loan evidenced by the Note.  If the unpaid principal balance of such Loan has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith returned to Borrower.

 

22.           Bankruptcy, Reorganization or Assignment. It shall be a default hereunder if Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower shall: (a) elect to dissolve or liquidate its business organization or wind up its business affairs without receiving the prior written approval of Lender; (b) consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of its assets; (c) be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (d) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) file a petition under or take advantage of any insolvency law; (f) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding, or fail to cause the dismissal of such petition within thirty (30) days after the filing of said petition; (g) take action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or (h) if any order, judgment or decree shall be entered upon an application of a creditor of Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower by a court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition seeking appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a substantial part of Borrower’s assets or any of Borrower’s general partner’s or managing member’s assets and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) days.

 

23.           Time is of the Essence, Monetary and Non-Monetary Defaults. It is understood by Borrower that time is of the essence hereof in connection with all obligations of Borrower herein and any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Lender, at its sole option, may declare the Loan, as well as all other monies secured or evidenced hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Florida) and late payment charges, to be in default and forthwith due and payable, in the event:

 

(a)           Borrower defaults in the payment of any monthly installment of the Note, whether of principal or interest, or both, or in the payment of any other sums of money referred to herein or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, promptly and fully when the same shall be due, without notice or demand from Lender to Borrower in regard to such Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined).

 

(b)           Borrower breaches or defaults on any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Note, this Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents; or in the event that each and every one of said terms, covenants, conditions and agreements is not otherwise either duly, promptly and fully discharged or performed, and any such Non-Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after Written Notice thereof has been delivered from Lender to Borrower; unless such Non-Monetary Default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Borrower shall have a reasonable period of time to complete cure, provided that action to cure such Non-Monetary Default is promptly commenced within said thirty (30) day period, and Borrower is, in Lender’s sole judgment, not

 

22



 

diminishing or impairing the value of the Property, and is diligently pursuing a cure to completion, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days.

 

(c)           Any representation or warranty of Borrower or of its members, general partners, principals, affiliates, agents or employees, or of any Guarantor made herein or in or in any other Loan Document, in any guaranty, or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made.

 

(d)           Any seizure or forfeiture of the Property, or any portion thereof, or Borrower’s interest therein, resulting from criminal wrongdoing or other unlawful action of Borrower, its affiliates, or any tenant in the Property under any federal, state or local law.

 

(e)           If Borrower consummates a transaction which would cause this Mortgage or Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents to constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state statute regulating governmental plans, subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a state statute.

 

(f)            Any default occurs in the performance of any covenant or obligation of Borrower or any other party under any indemnity or guaranty delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan and such default continues beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods.

 

Upon the occurrence of any one of the above events, and at the option of Lender, the principal of and the interest accrued on the Loan and all other sums secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable as if all of said sums of money were originally stipulated to be paid on such day. In addition, Lender may avail itself of all rights and remedies provided by law or equity, and may foreclose or prosecute a suit at law or in equity as if all monies secured hereby had matured prior to its institution, anything in this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding. Lender shall have no obligation to give Borrower notice of, or any period to cure, any Monetary Default or any Incurable Default (as hereinafter defined) prior to exercising its rights, powers, privileges and remedies.

 

As used herein, the term “Monetary Default” shall mean any default which can be cured by the payment of money such as, but not limited to, the payment of principal and interest due under the Note, or the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when due as provided in this Mortgage. As used herein, the term “Non-Monetary Default” shall mean any default that is not a Monetary Default or an Incurable Default. As used herein, the term “Incurable Default” shall mean either: (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, mortgaging, encumbering or transfer in violation of the covenants contained herein or any of the other Loan Documents; or (ii) if Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, should breach any of the provisions of Section 22.

 

24.           Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, Lender may institute an action to foreclose this Mortgage as to the amount so declared due and payable, and thereupon

 

23



 

the Property (or any portion thereof) shall be sold according to law to satisfy and pay the same, together with all costs, expenses and allowances thereof, including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees. The Property may be sold in one parcel, several parcels or groups of parcels, and Lender shall be entitled to bid at the sale, and, if Lender is the highest bidder for the Property or any part or parts thereof, Lender shall be entitled to purchase the same.  The failure or omission on the part of Lender to exercise the option for acceleration of maturity of the Note and foreclosure of this Mortgage following any default as aforesaid or to exercise any other option or remedy granted hereunder to Lender when entitled to do so in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of partial payment of the Loan secured hereby, whether before or subsequent to Borrower’s default hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver of any such default or the right to exercise any such option or remedy, but such option or remedy shall remain continuously in force. Acceleration of the maturity of the Note, once claimed hereunder by Lender, at the option of Lender, may be rescinded by written acknowledgment to that effect by Lender, but the tender and acceptance of partial payments alone shall not in any way either affect or rescind such acceleration of maturity, nor act as a waiver, accord and satisfaction, modification, novation or similar defense.

 

25.           UCC Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a default, Lender may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to the Fixtures and Personal Property under the UCC, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:

 

(a)           Written Notice mailed to Borrower as provided herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Fixtures and Personal Property or prior to the date after which private sale of the Fixtures and Personal Property will be made shall constitute reasonable notice;

 

(b)           any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with the sale of the Mortgaged Property under power of sale as provided herein upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Fixtures and Personal Property hereunder as is required for such sale of the Mortgaged Property under power of sale;

 

(c)           in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Fixtures and Personal Property and the Mortgaged Property may, at the option of Lender, be sold as a whole;

 

(d)           it shall not be necessary that Lender take possession of the Fixtures and Personal Property or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Fixtures and Personal Property or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale;

 

(e)           prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Fixtures and Personal Property to the secured indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the Reasonable Attorneys Fees and other legal expenses incurred by Lender;

 

(f)            any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of

 

24



 

the indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Lender having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited;

 

(g)           Lender may appoint or delegate any one (1) or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Lender, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender; and

 

(h)           this Mortgage covers Goods which are or are to become Fixtures related to the Real Property, and covers As-Extracted Collateral related to the Real Property. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of any financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing statement.  This Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records in the Office of the County Clerk where the Property (including said fixtures) is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement As-Extracted Collateral with respect to all As-Extracted Collateral included within the Real Property (including, without limitation, all oil, gas, other minerals, and other substances of value which may be extracted from the earth and all accounts arising out of the sale at the wellhead or minehead thereof), and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of the county where the Property is situated. The mailing address of Borrower is set forth in Section 43 of this Mortgage and the address of Lender from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained is the address of Lender set forth in Section 43 of this Mortgage.

 

26.           Protection of Lender’s Security. At any time after default hereunder, Lender, or Lender’s agents or contractors, is authorized, without notice and in Lender’s sole discretion, to enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, and to perform any acts which Lender deems necessary or proper to conserve the security interest herein intended to be provided by the Property, to operate any business or businesses conducted thereon, and to collect and receive all Rents thereof and therefrom, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter.

 

27.           Appointment of Receiver. If, at any time after a default hereunder, Lender deems, in Lender’s sole discretion, that a receivership may be necessary to protect the Property or its Rents, whether before or after maturity of the Note and whether before or at the time of or after the institution of foreclosure or suit to collect the Loan or to enforce this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender, as a matter of strict right and regardless of the value of the Property or the amounts due hereunder or secured hereby, or of the solvency of any party bound for the payment of such indebtedness, shall have the right, upon ex parte application and without notice to anyone, and by any court having jurisdiction, to the appointment of a receiver to take charge of, manage, preserve, protect and operate the Property, to collect the Rents thereof, to make all necessary and needful repairs, and to pay all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other such charges against and expenses of the Property, and to do such other acts as may by such court be authorized and directed, and after payment of the expenses of the receivership and the management of the Property, to apply the net proceeds of such receivership in reduction of

 

25



 

the Loan or in such other manner as the said court shall direct notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or the said Loan is otherwise adequately secured. Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all sums hereby secured or until title to the Property shall have passed by sale under this Mortgage, Borrower hereby specifically waives its right to object to the appointment of a receiver as aforesaid, and hereby expressly agrees that such appointment shall be made as an admitted equity and as a matter of absolute right to Lender.

 

28.           Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Forbearance Not a Waiver. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, and Lender, as the holder of the Note and of every other obligation secured hereby, may recover judgment thereon, issue execution therefor and resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, without first exhausting any right or remedy available to Lender and without affecting or impairing the security of any right or remedy afforded hereby, and no enumeration of special rights or powers by any provisions hereof shall be construed to limit any grant of general rights or powers, or to take away or limit any and all rights granted to or vested in Lender by law or equity. Borrower further agrees that no delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any rights or powers accruing to it hereunder shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default hereunder or an acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy granted herein or by law or equity to Lender may be exercised from time to time as often as Lender deems expedient.

 

Lender may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Loan, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Lender in its sole discretion, and any such action shall not be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage. To the full extent Borrower may do so, Borrower agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Borrower, for Borrower and Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrower, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created. Borrower shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the secured indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of such indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Borrower or Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns and such other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall

 

26



 

hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.

 

29.           Modification Not an Impairment of Security. Lender, without notice and without regard to the consideration, if any, paid therefor, and notwithstanding the existence at that time of any inferior mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens thereon, may release any part of the security described herein, or may release any person or entity liable for the Loan secured hereby without in any way affecting the priority of this Mortgage, to the full extent of the Loan remaining unpaid hereunder, upon any part of the security not expressly released. Lender may, at its option and within Lenders sole discretion, also agree with any party obligated on the Loan, or having any interest in the security described herein, to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the Loan, and such agreement shall not, in any way, release or impair this Mortgage, but shall extend the same as against the title of all parties having any interest in said security, which interest is subject to this Mortgage.

 

30.           Property Management and Leasing. The exclusive manager of the Property shall be Borrower, or such other manager as may be first approved in writing by Lender.  The exclusive leasing agent of the Property, if other than Borrower or the foregoing party, shall be first approved in writing by Lender. The management and leasing contracts (or in the absence of any such written contract, a letter so stating and further identifying the name of the person or entity charged with the responsibility for managing and/or leasing the Property) shall be subordinate to this Mortgage, and satisfactory to and subject to the prior written approval of Lender throughout the term of the Loan.  Upon default in either of these requirements, then the whole of the Loan hereby secured shall, at the election of Lender, become immediately due and payable, together with any Prepayment Premium, late payment charges and all other sums required by the Note or the other Loan Documents, and Lender shall be entitled to excercise any or all remedies provided for or referenced in this Mortgage.

 

31.           Modification Not a Waiver.  In the event Lender (a) releases, as aforesaid, any part of the security described herein or any person or entity liable for the Loan; (b) grants an extension of time for the payment of the Note; (c) takes other or additional security for the payment of the Note; or (d) waives or fails to exercise any rights granted herein, in the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, any said act or omission shall not release Borrower, subsequent purchasers of the Property or any part thereof, or makers, sureties, endorsers or guarantors of the Note, if any, from any obligation or any covenant of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, nor preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any other default then made, or any subsequent default.

 

32.           Transfer of Property or Controlling Interest in Borrower; Assumption. Except as set forth in Section 38(b) hereof, without the prior written consent of Lender, the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of all or any portion of the Property, or the transfer, assignment or conveyance of a controlling interest in Borrower or its general partner or managing member, or any guarantor, whether voluntary or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender, shall constitute a default hereunder, and entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to accelerate all sums due on the Note, together with any Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Florida), late payment charges or any other amounts

 

27



 

secured hereby. Lender may, however, elect to waive the option to accelerate granted hereunder if, prior to any such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of the Property, the following conditions shall be fully satisfied: (a) Lender acknowledges in writing that, in Lender’s sole discretion, the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee and the ability and experience of the proposed transferee to operate the Property are satisfactory to Lender; (b) Lender and the proposed transferee stall enter into an agreement in writing that (i) the rate of interest payable on the Loan secured hereby shall be at such rate as Lender shall determine, (ii) the repayment schedule as set forth in the Note shall be modified by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, to initiate amortization or modify the existing amortization schedule in order to amortize the then remaining unpaid principal balance of the Note secured hereby over a period of time as determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, without a change in the maturity date of the Note, and (iii) the proposed transferee shall assume all obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Load Documents in writing and an assumption fee, to be determined by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, may be charged by Lender; (c) Lender shall receive, for Lender’s review and approval, copies of all transfer documents; and (d) Borrower or the transferee shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer and assumption, without limitation, all fees and expenses incurred by Lender.

 

Borrower, or any subsequent owner of the Property or any portion thereof, shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its and their legal existence. franchises, rights and privileges as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of the State of its formation and its right to own property and transact business in the State of Florida. It shall be a default hereunder if Borrower, or any subsequent owner of the Property or any portion thereof, shall amend, modify, transfer, assign or terminate the applicable governing documents for such entity, including its partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, operating agreement, articles of organization, regulations, articles of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be (as applicable, the “Governing Documents”), of Borrower or such subsequent owner without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower, or such subsequent owner of the Property, shall provide Lender with copies of any proposed amendment to its applicable Governing Documents, so that Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion, determine whether such amendment adversely affects Lender, the Property or the security value thereof. Provided, however, that any amendment, modification, transfer, assignment or termination of Borrower’s applicable Governing Documents or any other action pursuant to which the current general partner or managing member of Borrower shall either: (i) cease to be the general partner or managing member of Borrower; or (ii) except to the extent permitted herein, cease to own or maintain a partnership or membership interest in Borrower equal to or greater than its partnership or membership interest at the time this Mortgage is executed, shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect upon Lender and the Property, and shall be a default hereunder.

 

Borrower shall not change its name or identity in any manner which may make any financing or continuation statement filed in connection with the Loan seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC enacted in the State of Florida or change its jurisdiction of organization unless Borrower shall have delivered to Lender written notice thereof not less than thirty (30) days before the effective date of such change and shall have taken all action which Lender determines to be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and protect Lender’s security interests and rights under this Mortgage and the perfection and priority thereof.

 

28



 

Borrower will not change its principal places of business unless it shall have given Lender prior written notice of its intent to do so not less than thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such change. Borrower shall bear all costs incurred by Lender in connection with any such change including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorney’s Fees.

 

In the event the ownership of the Property, or any part thereof, shall become vested in a person or entity other than Borrower, whether with or without the prior written consent of Lender, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Property, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, in the same manner and to the same extent as with Borrower without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. No sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender and no extension of time given by Lender to Borrower for the payment of the Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower, either in whole or in part, unless expressly set forth in writing executed by Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower hereby waives any right it now has or may hereafter have to require Lender to prove an impairment of its security as a condition to the exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 32.

 

A sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance within the meaning of this Section shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to: (a) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a tenant under an Occupancy Lease or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any leases or any Rents; (c) if Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any general partner or managing member of Borrower, is a corporation the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or pledge of such corporation’s stock (or the stock of any corporation, directly or indirectly controlling such corporation by operation of law or otherwise), or the creation or issuance of new stock by which an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of such corporation’s stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now stockholders; and (d) if Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor, or any general partner or managing member of Borrower, is a limited partnership, general partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture, the change, removal or resignation of a general partner, managing partner, or member, or the transfer or pledge of the interest of any general partner, managing partner, or member or any profits or proceeds relating to such interest.

 

(A)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall permit transfers of interests in the Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent and without any transfer fee, so long as no default, or event which, with notice of the passage of time or both, could result in a default, has occurred hereunder or under the Note and (i) such transfer is to the family members, estate, heirs and/or beneficiaries (including a Testamentary Trust) of the members of Borrower named herein for estate planning purposes and/or testamentary disposition, (ii) Lender receives notice of such transfer, (iii) Lender receives copies of all transfer documents, (iv) Borrower, or the transferee, pays all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees (as hereinafter defined), and (v) such transferee assumes all obligations of Borrower or Borrower’s estate under the Note, this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents with the same degree of liability as Borrower as of the date hereof, and (vi) Ernie

 

29



 

Euler and Mike Renfro, or if either is deceased, such party’s heirs or beneficiaries having a creditworthiness acceptable to Lender, remain personally liable for the exclusions from non-recourse liability set forth in the Note and Guaranty executed by Ernie Euler and Mike Renfro of even date herewith.

 

33.           Further Encumbrance Prohibited: Subrogation.   So long as the Note remains unpaid, Borrower shall not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, permit the Property or any part thereof to become subject to any secondary or subordinate lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever without the prior written consent of Lender, and the imposition of any such secondary lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or encumbrance without the approval of Lender shall constitute a default hereunder, and entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to declare the outstanding principal balance of the Note, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, late payment charges and any other amounts secured hereby to be and become immediately due and payable in full.  In the event that Lender shall hereafter give its written consent to the imposition of any such secondary lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other encumbrance upon the Property, Lender, at Lender’s sole option, shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of the Note and exercise any and all remedies provided and available to Lender hereunder and in the other Loan Documents in the event that the holder of any such secondary lien or encumbrance shall institute foreclosure or other proceedings to enforce the same; it being understood and agreed that a default under any instrument or document evidencing, securing or secured by any such secondary lien or encumbrance shall be and constitute a default hereunder. In the event all or any portion of the proceeds of the Loan are used for the purpose of retiring debt or debts secured by prior liens on the Property, Leader shall be subrogated to the rights and lien priority of the holder or holders of the lien or liens so discharged.

 

34.           Conveyance of Mineral Rights Prohibited.  Borrower agrees that the making of any oil, gas or mineral lease, or the sale or conveyance of any mineral interest or right to explore for minerals under, through or upon the Property, would impair the value of the Property, and that Borrower shall have no right, power or authority to lease the Property, or any part thereof, for oil, gas or other mineral purposes, or to grant, assign or convey any mineral interest of any nature, or the right to explore for oil, gas and other minerals, without first obtaining Lender’s express written permission therefor, which permission shall not be valid until recorded among the Public Records of Brevard County, in the State of Florida. Borrower further agrees that if Borrower shall make, execute, or enter into any such lease or attempt to grant any such mineral rights without such prior written permission of Lender, then Lender shall have the option, without notice, to declare the same to be a default hereunder, and to declare the Loan immediately due and payable in full. Whether or not Lender shall consent to such lease or grant of mineral rights, Lender shall receive the entire consideration to be paid for any such lease or grant of mineral rights, with the same to be applied to the Loan notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan is otherwise adequately secured; provided, however, that the acceptance of such consideration shall in no way impair the lien of this Mortgage on the Property or cure any existing Monetary Default.

 

35.           Estoppel Certification by Borrower.  Borrower, upon request of Lender therefor made either personally or by mail, shall certify in writing to Lender (or any party designated by

 

30



 

Lender), in a form satisfactory to Lender or such designer, the amount of principal and interest then outstanding under the terms of the Note and any other sums due and owing under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Loan. Such certification shall be made by Borrower within ten (10) days if the request is made personally, or within twenty (20) days if the request is made by mail.

 

36.           Cross Default. The Note is also secured by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Assignment and, additionally, may be secured by contracts or agreements of guaranty or other security instruments.  The terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of each security instrument shall be considered a part hereof as fully as if set forth herein verbatim. Any default under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a default hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Lender shall not prejudice or in any manner affect the right of Lender to enforce any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that Lender shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by it in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

37.           Examination of Borrower’s Records.  Borrower will maintain complete and accurate books and records showing in detail the income and expenses of the Property, and will permit Lender and its agents, contractors or representatives to examine said books and records and all supporting vouchers and date during nominal business hours and from time to time upon request by Lender, in such place as such books and records are customarily kept. Borrower will furnish to Lender, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each respective fiscal period annual and semi-annual financial statements (income statements and a balance sheet) for the Borrower and the Property.  These statements shall be in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall include a rent roll, certified as true and correct by Borrower. The statements shall show in detail all income derived from and expenses incurred in connection with the ownership of the Property, including current annual sales figures for all Major Tenants of the Property if required under the Major Tenant leases or if such financial information is otherwise available.  In the event Borrower fails to provide such statements to Lender within the time prescribed above, Borrower shall pay Lender the sum of TWO HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($200.00) in administrative expenses for each successive month for which the statements are delinquent.  Upon a default hereunder beyond any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender shall have the right to require that said financial statements be audited and certified by a certified public accountant acceptable to Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

 

In addition, at the request of Lender, but in no case more often than once a quarter or more than three (3) times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (i) unaudited financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and current rent roll) covering operation of the Property for periods other than those set forth in the preceding paragraph; (ii) unaudited financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) for Borrower, its general partner(s), shareholder(s) or member(s) (whichever is applicable) and for such other principals of Borrower as designated by Lender; and (iii) a portfolio analysis showing annualized cash flow statements (including debt service payments) for all real properties owned by Borrower, its general partner(s), shareholder(s), or

 

31



 

member(s) (whichever is applicable) and for such designated principals. All such statements shall be certified to Lender to be complete, correct, and accurate by the individual (for an individual’s statements) or by an authorized representative of the entity (if statements are for a partnership, corporation or limited liability company).

 

38.           Alteration, Removal and Change in Use of Property Prohibited. Borrower covenants and agrees to permit or suffer none of the following without the prior written consent of Lender:

 

(a)           Any structural alteration of, or addition to, the Improvements now or hereafter situated upon the Real Property, or the addition of any new buildings or other structure(s) thereto, other than the erection or removal of non-load bearing interior walls provided, however, that the initial construction of World Savings Bank and other tenant buildout pursuant to approved Occupancy Leases (which is ongoing as of the date hereof) is specifically permitted; or

 

(b)           The removal, transfer, sale or lease (except for Occupancy Leases) of the Property, except that the removal, replacement or substitution of fixtures, equipment, machinery, apparatus and articles of personal property (replacement or substituted items must be of like or better quality than the removed items in their original condition) encumbered hereby may be made in the normal course of business; or

 

(c)           The use of any of the Improvements now or hereafter situated on the Real Property for any purpose other than the Existing Use and related facilities.

 

39.           Future Advances Secured.    This Mortgage shall secure not only existing indebtedness, but also future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Lender. Upon the request of Borrower, and at Lender’s option prior to release of this Mortgage, Lender may make future advances to Borrower. All future advances with interest thereon shall be secured by this Mortgage to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage unless the parties shall agree otherwise in writing, but the total secured indebtedness shall not exceed at any one time a maximum principal amount equal to double the face amount of the Note plus interest and costs of collection, including court costs and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees.

To the extent that this Mortgage may secure more than one note, a default in the payment of any such mortgage note shall constitute a default in the payment of all such notes. The filing of any notice limiting the maximum amount that may be secured by this Mortgage pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 697.04 or otherwise shall be and constitute a default under this Mortgage.

 

40.            Effect of Security Agreement. Borrower agrees to, and shall upon the request of Lender, execute and deliver to Lender, in form and content satisfactory to Lender, such financing statements, descriptions of property and such further assurances as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may from time to time consider necessary to create, perfect, continue and preserve the lien and encumbrances hereof, and the security interest granted herein, upon and in the Property.

 

32



 

Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created, pursuant to the UCC, any other security interest in such real and personal property and fixtures described herein. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder or Borrower’s breach of any other covenants or agreements between the parties entered into in conjunction herewith, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC as provided in Section 25, and at Lender’s option, the remedies provided for in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Lender, at the expense of Borrower, may cause such statements, descriptions and assurances, as herein provided in this Section 40, and this Mortgage, to be recorded and re-recorded, filed and refiled, at such times and in such places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve the lien and encumbrance hereof upon all of the Property.

 

41.            Terms of Application Survive Closing.   The terms and provisions of the Application for Mortgage Loan dated February 18, 2003, modified by Lender on May 27, 2003, further modified by Lender on January 27, 2003, and accepted by Borrower on February 25, 2004 and any subsequent amendments thereto (the “Application”), executed by and between Borrower and Lender, are incorporated herein by reference.  All terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Application not expressly set forth in this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, and remain in full force and effect. In the event any conflict exists between the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Application and the Loan Documents, the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Loan Documents shall prevail.

 

42.            Successors and Assigns; Terminology.   The provisions hereof shall be binding upon Borrower and the heirs, personal representatives, trustees, successors and assigns of Borrower, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Where more than one (1) Borrower is named herein, the obligations and liabilities of said Borrower shall be joint and several.

As used herein words of any gender shall include all other genders.

Borrower acknowledges that the late payment charge is a fair and reasonable estimate, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of execution of this Note, of the cost the Lender will incur by reason of such late payment.

 

Prepayment.

 

(A)          Except as hereinafter provided, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any part of the Loan at any time. Borrower shall have the right to prepay, in full but not in part, the Loan evidenced by this Note, provided that, as conditions precedent, Borrower: (i) gives Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ prior Written Notice (as defined in the Mortgage) of Borrower’s intention to so prepay this Note; and (ii) pays to Lender the Prepayment Premium (as hereinafter defined), if any, then due and payable to Lender as hereinafter provided.  As used herein, the term “Prepayment Premium” shall mean a sum equal to the greater of either: (i) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the time of prepayment; or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the present value of the scheduled monthly payments due under this Note from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date, and (b) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due under this Note on the Maturity Date (assuming all scheduled monthly payments due prior to the Maturity Date were made when due), minus (c) the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.  The present values described in (a) and (b) shall be computed on a monthly basis as of the date of prepayment discounted at the yield-to-maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond closest in maturity to the Maturity Date of this Note as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published, as reported in such other daily financial publication of national circulation which shall be designated by Lender) on the fifth (5) business day preceding the date of prepayment.  Borrower shall be obligated to prepay this Note on the date set forth in the notice to Lender required hereinabove, after such notice has been delivered to Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, if Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any escrowed amounts, if applicable, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note in the manner provided in the Mortgage, no Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable as a result of such application, and the monthly installments due and payable hereunder shall be reduced accordingly.

 

(B)           In the event the Maturity Date of the Loan evidenced by this Note is accelerated by Lender at any time due to a default by Borrower under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then a tender of payment in an amount necessary to satisfy the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note together with all accrued unpaid interest hereon made by Borrower, or by anyone on behalf of Borrower, at any time prior to, at, or as a

result of, a foreclosure sale or sale pursuant to power of sale, shall constitute a voluntary prepayment hereunder prior to the contracted Maturity Date of this Note thus requiring the payment to Lender of a Prepayment Premium equal to the applicable Prepayment Premium as set forth in paragraph (A) above; provided, however, that in the event such Prepayment Premium is construed to be interest under the laws of the State of Florida in any circumstance, such payment shall not be required to the extent that the amount thereof, together with other interest payable hereunder, exceeds the maximum rate of interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law.

 

(C)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, during the ninety (90)-day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date of this Note, the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued unpaid interest on this Note may be prepaid in full, but not in part, at par, without incurring a Prepayment Premium.

 

Additional Conditions.

 

This Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Notice Of Future Advance, Mortgage Modification and Amended and Restated Mortgage and Security Agreement dated February 27, 2004 and recorded on March 1, 2004 in Official Records Book 5212, Page 2259 of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida, as assumed by Borrower pursuant to that certain Assumption Agreement of even date herewith to be recorded in the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida and as amended and restated by that certain Mortgage Modification and Amended and Restated Mortgage and Security Agreement of even date herewith to be recorded in the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida (the “Mortgage”), and by an Amended and Restated Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits of even date herewith to be recorded in the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida (the “Assignment”), encumbering certain real property described therein and located in Brevard County, State of Florida and certain other property, all as more particularly described in the Mortgage (collectively, the “Property”).  The Mortgage and the Assignment contain terms and provisions which provide grounds for acceleration of the Loan evidenced by this Note, together with additional remedies in the event of default hereunder or thereunder.  Failure on the part of Lender to exercise any right granted herein or in the Mortgage or the Assignment or any other Loan Document shall not constitute a waiver of such right, or preclude Lender’s subsequent exercise and enforcement thereof.  This Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and all other documents and instruments executed as further evidence of, as additional security for, or executed in connection with, the Loan evidenced by this Note are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, all parties to this Note, including endorsers, sureties and guarantors, if any, hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity of this Note, notice of acceleration of the maturity of this Note, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever, and agree to remain bound hereby until the principal, interest and all other obligations arising under this Note are paid in full, notwithstanding any extensions of time for payment which may be granted by Lender, even though the period of extension be indefinite, and notwithstanding any inaction by, or failure to assert any legal rights available to Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note.

If the obligations evidenced by this Note, or any part thereof, are placed in the hands of an attorney or other person for collection, whether by suit or otherwise, at any time, or from time to time, Borrower shall be liable to Lender, in each instance, for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees (as hereinafter defined).

 

Default.

 

If Borrower defaults under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, then in any or all of such events, at the option of Lender, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon and all other obligations arising under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, may be accelerated by Lender and may become and be immediately due and payable then or thereafter as Lender may elect, regardless of the Maturity Date hereof.  All such amounts shall bear interest after maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, at the lesser of either: (i) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the laws of the United States; or (ii) the then applicable interest rate of this Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum.

 

During the existence of any such default, which remains uncured beyond any applicable grace or cure period, Lender may apply any sums received, including but not limited to insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, to any amount then due and owing hereunder or under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents as Lender may determine.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein granted unto Lender to apply such proceeds as aforesaid shall serve to cure the default or preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the entire Loan evidenced by this Note to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default under the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, Lender’s right, power and privilege to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be conditioned upon, (i) with respect to any Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined), Lender giving Borrower Written Notice of such Monetary Default and a five (5) day period after such notice is given within which to cure such Monetary Default; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to give such notice and right to cure as to Monetary Defaults, which occur during any Loan Year (hereinafter defined) if Lender has previously given Written Notice of a Monetary Default during such Loan Year; and (ii) with respect to any Non-Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined), Lender giving Borrower Written Notice of such Non-Monetary Default and a thirty (30)-day period, after the date of such notice, within which to cure such Non-Monetary Default, unless such Non-Monetary Default cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30)-day time period, in which event Borrower shall have an extended period of time to complete such cure, provided that action to cure such Non-Monetary Default has commenced within said thirty (30)-day period and Borrower is, in Lender’s sole judgment, not diminishing or impairing the value of the Property, and is diligently pursuing a cure to completion, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days.  It is understood and agreed that the agreement of Lender to provide notice and an opportunity to cure a Monetary Default does not waive Lender’s right to any late payment charge.  As used herein, the term “Loan Year” shall mean each twelve (12) month period beginning with January 1, 2005 and each anniversary thereof.  Any notice required hereunder shall be given as provided in the Mortgage.  Except as provided hereinabove, Lender shall have

 

5



 

no obligation to give Borrower notice of, or any period to cure, any Monetary Default or any Incurable Default (as hereinafter defined) prior to exercising Lender’s right, power and privilege to accelerate the maturity of the Loan evidenced hereby, to declare the same to be immediately due and payable, and to exercise all other rights and remedies herein granted or otherwise available to Lender at law or in equity. As used herein, the term “Monetary Default” shall mean any default which can be cured by the payment of money, including but not limited to, the payment of principal and/or interest due under this Note and the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when due as provided in the Mortgage.  As used herein, the term “Non-Monetary Default” shall mean any default which is not a Monetary Default or an Incurable Default. As used herein, the term “Incurable Default” shall mean either: (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, mortgaging or transfer of the Property or ownership interests in Borrower in violation of the covenants of the Mortgage; or (ii) if Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower, should make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, become insolvent, or file (or have filed against it) a petition in bankruptcy (including but not limited to, a petition seeking a rearrangement or reorganization) which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the filing of same.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, during any period of default and regardless of any cure period applicable to such default, in each instance under this Note, the Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents in which either: (i) Borrower is permitted to take a material action without Lender’s consent; or (ii) Lender’s consent is to be exercised reasonably, Lender’s consent shall be required and shall be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

Savings Clause; Severability.

 

It is the intent of Borrower and Lender in the execution of this Note and all other instruments now or hereafter securing this Note to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Note, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law. Neither Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law, and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of this Note and any other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith.  Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated.  If the maturity of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of this Note is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan evidenced by this Note exceeds the maximum permitted by applicable law, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest.  In the event that Lender shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such

 

6



 

determination be immediately returned to Borrower, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.  By execution of this Note, Borrower acknowledges that it believes the Loan evidenced by this Note to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to believe that such Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that Lender shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists.  The term “applicable law” or “applicable usury law” as used in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of Florida or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest and do not violate the laws of the State of Florida, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.  If any clauses or provisions herein contained operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then such clauses or provisions only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained and the remainder of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

 

Exculpation.

 

The liability of Borrower with respect to the payment of principal and interest shall be “non-recourse”.  Except as hereinafter provided, Lender’s source of satisfaction of Borrower’s obligations under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the Property and Lender’s receipt of the rents, issues and profits from the Property and any other security or collateral now or hereafter held by Lender, and Lender shall not seek to procure payment out of any other assets of Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower, or to seek judgment (except as hereinafter provided) for any sums which are or may be payable under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, as well as any claim or judgment (except as hereafter provided) for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of the Mortgage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a release or impairment of the Loan evidenced by this Note or the security therefor intended by the other Loan Documents, or be deemed to preclude Lender from exercising its rights to foreclose the Mortgage or to enforce any of its other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including but not limited to that certain Guaranty of even date herewith from Ernie Euler and Mike Renfro (the “Guarantors”) to Lender (the “Guaranty”).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the aforesaid limitation on liability shall in no way affect or apply to the continued personal liability of Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Lender due to:

 

(1)           fraud, willful misconduct or material misrepresentation made by Borrower or Guarantors in or in connection with the letter from Lender consenting to the assumption of the Loan dated December 21, 2004, and accepted by Borrower on December 30, 2004 and any subsequent amendments thereto, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(2)           the failure of Borrower to pay taxes which accrue prior to Lender taking control of the Property or to pay assessments or any other governmental impositions, charges for labor incurred by Borrower, charges for materials incurred by Borrower or any

 

7



 

other charges incurred by Borrower which may create liens on any portion of the Property;

 

(3)           the misapplication or misappropriation of (i) proceeds of insurance covering any portion of the Property; (ii) proceeds of the sale, condemnation or transfer in lieu of condemnation of any portion of the Property; or (iii) rentals received by or on behalf of Borrower subsequent to the date on which Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to any of the Loan Documents;

 

(4)           causing or permitting waste or causing arson to occur in, on or about the Property, and failing to maintain the Property, except for ordinary wear and tear;

 

(5)           Borrower’s failure to return to Lender all unearned advance rentals and security deposits that have been paid by tenants of the Property to the extent that such amounts have not been refunded to or forfeited by such tenants;

 

(6)           the failure by Borrower to pay any and all tenant improvement allowances owed to tenants leasing space in the Property;

 

(7)           the failure by Borrower to pay to Lender any and all fees paid to Borrower by any tenant of the Property which fees permit the tenant to terminate its lease or otherwise abandon or vacate its leased premises;

 

(8)           loss by fire or any other casualty to the extent not compensated by insurance proceeds collected by or remitted to Lender, as a result of Borrower’s failure to comply with the insurance provisions of the Mortgage;

 

(9)           the failure to return to or reimburse Lender for all Fixtures and Personal Property (as defined in the Mortgage) owned by Borrower and taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower, out of the ordinary course of business, and not replaced by items with values equal to or greater than the original values of the Fixtures and Personal Property so removed;

 

(10)         all court costs and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees (as hereinafter defined) actually incurred by Lender for which Borrower is liable pursuant to the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(11)         (i) the removal of any chemical, material or substance in excess of legal limits or which is required by any governmental entity, to which exposure is prohibited, limited or regulated by any federal, state, county or local authority, and which may or could pose a hazard to the health and safety of the occupants of the Property (which substances are also further defined in the Mortgage as “Hazardous Materials”), regardless of the source of origination (including sources off the Property which migrate onto the Property or its groundwater); (ii) the restoration of the Property to comply with all governmental regulations pertaining to Hazardous Materials found in, on or under the Property, regardless of the source of origination (including sources off the Property which migrate onto the Property or its groundwater); and (iii) any indemnity or other agreement to hold Lender harmless

 

8



 

from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs and expenses of any and every kind arising as a result of the existence and/or removal of Hazardous Materials in violation of Hazardous Waste Laws and from the violation of Hazardous Waste Laws (as defined in the Mortgage).  Borrower shall not be liable hereunder if the Property becomes contaminated (a) subsequent to Lender’s acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, or (b) subsequent to any transfer of ownership of the Property which was approved or authorized in writing by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage, provided that such transferee assumes in writing all obligations of Borrower with respect to compliance with Hazardous Waste Laws under the Mortgage and the Indemnity Agreement by Borrower and executed of even date herewith.  Liability under this subsection (11) shall extend beyond repayment of the Loan and compliance with the terms of the Note and compliance with the terms of the Mortgage unless Borrower at such time provides Lender with an environmental assessment report acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, showing the Property to be free of Hazardous Materials and not in violation of Hazardous Waste Laws.  The burden of proof under this subparagraph with regard to establishing the date upon which such Hazardous Materials were placed or appeared in, on or under the Property shall be upon Borrower;

 

(12)         (i) any and all costs incurred in order to cause the Property to comply with any applicable Accessibility Laws (as defined in the Mortgage) and (ii) any indemnity or other agreements to hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs or expenses of any kind arising as a result of non-compliance with any applicable Accessibility Laws.  Borrower shall not be liable hereunder for compliance with any applicable Accessibility Laws that first become effective, or for any violation of any applicable Accessibility Laws resulting from alterations or improvements to the Property that are performed subsequent to Lender’s acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof or subsequent to any transfer of ownership of the Property which was approved or authorized in writing by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage, provided that such transferee assumes in writing all obligations of Borrower pertaining to any applicable Accessibility Laws pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.  The burden of proof under this subparagraph with regard to establishing the date upon which such non-compliance with any Accessibility Laws occurred at the Property shall be upon Borrower; and

 

(13)         failure to remit to Lender any amounts under any letter of credit (or any renewals and/or replacements thereof) supplied by Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents in the event that the bank issuing such letter of credit becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or is closed (either temporarily or permanently), is placed in receivership, conservatorship or liquidation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Resolution Trust Corporation or any other governmental or quasi-governmental entity, or otherwise fails or refuses to honor such letter of credit or otherwise fails to maintain certain criteria required by Lender; and

 

9



 

(14)         failure to timely pay any amounts payable for all state documentary stamp taxes and intangible personal property taxes, if any, which may be levied or assessed against the Loan, this Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, together with all interest penalties or charges in connection therewith.

 

The obligations of Borrower in subsections (1) through (14) above, except as specifically provided in subsections (11) and (12), shall survive the repayment of the Loan evidenced by this Note, and satisfaction of the Mortgage unless such repayment is in the full amount of all sums due and owing under the Loan and such repayment occurs prior to a default under the Loan resulting in the foreclosure of the Mortgage or transfer of the Property in lieu of foreclosure.

 

Full Recourse.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions in this Note to the contrary, including without limitation the provisions set forth in the section captioned “Exculpation” hereinabove, Borrower shall be personally liable, jointly and severally, for the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note (including all principal, interest and other charges) in the event (i) Borrower violates the covenant governing the placing of subordinate financing on the Property as set forth in the Mortgage; (ii) Borrower violates the covenant restricting transfers of interests in the Property or transfers of ownership interests in Borrower as set forth in the Mortgage; or (iii) there is filed against Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, a petition in bankruptcy or for the appointment of a receiver, or there commences under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, proceedings for Borrower’s relief, or for the compromise, extension, arrangement or adjustment of Borrower’s obligations which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the filing of same.

BORROWER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES HEREBY THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, AGAINST LENDER, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, ACT, OMISSION, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PERSON (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LENDER’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH LENDER), IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN ANY COUNTERCLAIM WHICH ANY PARTY MAY BE PERMITTED TO ASSERT THEREUNDER, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.  IN NO EVENT SHALL LENDER, ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITY) AND BY ITS EXECUTION HEREOF, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CLAIM OR SEEK ANY SUCH DAMAGES.

the amount of the full replacement cost thereof, (without taking into account any depreciation) less excavating and foundation costs, and covering all loss or abatement of rental or other income, without a provision for co-insurance, in an amount equal to the scheduled rental income of the Property for at least twelve (12) months, or if applicable, business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to pay debt service on the Note, operating expenses, taxes and insurance on the Property for a period of twelve (12) months, and covering loss by flood (if the Property lies in a Special Flood Hazard Area as designated on the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Maps, or other flood prone designation) in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or such other amount as approved by Lender, and earthquake insurance with a deductible amount of no more than ten percent (10%) of the policy amount, if the Property is located within one-half (1/2) mile of an Alquist-Priolo Special Earthquake Study Zone or if, in the judgment of Lender’s inspecting architect, the Property lies in an area of anticipated significant seismic activity, and “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsements in amounts satisfactory to Lender if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses or the ability to rebuild the Improvements is restricted or prohibited, and comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion), if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender and covering all boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery and equipment located at or about the Property (including, without limitation, electrical equipment, sprinkler systems, heating and air conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment and piping).  All such insurance shall be carried with a company or companies licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located, which is acceptable to Lender, which company or companies shall have a rating at the time this Mortgage is executed equivalent to at least A+:X as shown in the most recent Best’s Key Rating Guide.  The original policy or policies and renewals thereof (or, at the sole option of Lender, duplicate originals or certified copies thereof), together with receipts evidencing payment of the premium therefor, shall be deposited with, held by and are hereby assigned to, Lender as additional security for the Loan secured hereby.  Each such policy of insurance shall contain a noncontributing loss payable clause in favor of and in a form acceptable to Lender, and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior Written Notice to Lender of any intent to modify, non-renew, cancel or terminate the policy or policies, or the expiration of such policies of insurance, or the exclusion of any individual risk such as acts of terrorism.  If the insurance required under this Section 8 or any portion thereof is maintained pursuant to a blanket policy, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a certified copy of such policy, together with an original Evidence of Insurance Certificate (Acord Form 27) for hazard insurance indicating that Lender is an additional insured under such policy in regard to the Property and showing the amount of coverage apportioned to the Property, which coverage shall be in an amount sufficient to satisfy the requirements hereof.  Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of each policy required of Borrower hereunder, Borrower will deliver to Lender a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by other evidence of payment and renewal satisfactory to Lender.  In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower, in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums, and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

 

In the event of loss by reason of hazards, casualties, contingencies and perils for which insurance has been required by Lender hereunder, Borrower shall give immediate notice thereof to Lender.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest for

 

12



 

Lender to, at its option, make proof of loss and/or to file a claim thereunder.  Each insurance company concerned is hereby notified, authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to Lender, instead of to Borrower and Lender jointly, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to adjust and compromise any losses for which insurance proceeds are payable under any of the aforesaid insurance policies and, after deducting the costs of collection, to apply the proceeds of such insurance, at its option either: (a) to the restoration or repair of the insured Improvements, Appurtenances, and Fixtures and Personal Property, provided that, in the opinion and sole discretion of Lender, such restoration or repair is reasonably practical and, provided further, that, in the opinion and sole discretion of Lender, either: (i) the insurance proceeds so collected are sufficient to cover the cost of such restoration or repair of the damage or destruction with respect to which such proceeds were paid, or (ii) the insurance proceeds so collected are not sufficient alone to cover the cost of such restoration or repair, but are sufficient therefor when taken together with funds provided and made available by Borrower from other sources; in which event Lender shall make such insurance proceeds available to Borrower for the purpose of effecting such restoration or repair; but Lender shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of such insurance proceeds nor shall the amount of funds so released or used be deemed to be payment of or on account of the Loan secured hereby; or (b) to the reduction of the Loan, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said Loan is otherwise adequately secured, in which event such proceeds shall be applied at par against the Loan secured hereby and the monthly payment due on account of such Loan shall be reduced accordingly as calculated by Lender.  None of such actions taken by Lender shall be deemed to be or result in a waiver or impairment of any equity, lien or right of Lender under and by virtue of this Mortgage, nor will the application of such insurance proceeds to the reduction of the Loan serve to cure any default in the payment thereof.  In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

 

In case of Borrower’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Lender, its successors or assigns, may, at its option (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrower’s sole expense.

 

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8 to the contrary, in the event of loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty for which insurance has been required by Lender and provided by Borrower, and (a) the amount of such loss or damage does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the unpaid principal balance of the Note, or (b) restoration is required by the terms of a Major Tenant Lease, Lender hereby agrees to allow the proceeds of insurance to be used for the restoration of the Property and to release such insurance proceeds to Borrower as such restoration progresses, provided:

 

(a)                                    Borrower is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure periods under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(b)                                   The Improvements, after such restoration, shall be at least eighty percent (80%) leased pursuant to leases approved in writing by Lender;

 

13



 

(c)                                    The plans and specifications for the restoration of the Property are approved in writing by Lender in advance;

 

(d)                                   At all times during such restoration, Borrower has deposited with Lender funds which, when added to the insurance proceeds received by Lender, are sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances, regulations and Accessibility Laws, and further, that the funds retained by Lender are sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property as certified to Lender by Lender’s inspecting architect/engineer;

 

(e)                                    Borrower provides suitable completion, payment and performance bonds, builders’ all risk insurance, and all necessary licenses and permits for such restoration in form and amount acceptable to Lender;

 

(f)                                      The insurer under such policies of fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under such policies against Lender, Borrower, any tenant, or third party of Borrower with regard to the Property;

 

(g)                                   Lender shall have the option, upon the completion of such restoration of the Property, to apply any surplus insurance proceeds remaining after the completion of such restoration, at par, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Note; notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said Loan is otherwise adequately secured;

 

(h)                                   The funds held by Lender shall be disbursed no more often than once per month and in not more than five (5) increments of not less than FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) each, except the final disbursement of such funds which may be in an amount less than FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00);

 

(i)                                       Lender’s obligation to make any such disbursement shall be conditioned upon Lender’s receipt of written certification from Lender’s inspecting architect/engineer (whose reasonable fees shall be reimbursed to Lender by Borrower) that all construction and work for which such disbursement is requested has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and in accordance with all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances and all other Laws and, further, that Borrower has deposited with Lender sufficient funds to complete such restoration in accordance with Section 8(d); and

 

(j)                                       Lender shall be entitled to require and to impose such other conditions to the release of such funds as would be customarily or reasonably be required and imposed by local construction lenders for a project of similar nature and cost.

 

9.                                       Liability Insurance.  Borrower shall carry and maintain such commercial general liability insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender, taking into consideration the type of property being insured and the corresponding liability exposure, on forms, with deductibles, in amounts and with such company or companies licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located and as may be acceptable to Lender.  All such commercial general liability insurance shall be carried with a company or companies which have and maintain a rating equivalent to at least A+:X as shown in the most recent Best’s Key Rating

 

14



 

Guide.  The original policy or policies and all renewals thereof (or, at the sole option of Lender, duplicate originals or certified copies thereof), together with a Certificate of Insurance (Acord Form 25S) and receipts evidencing payment of the premium therefor, shall be deposited with, held by and are hereby assigned to, Lender as additional security for the Loan secured hereby.  Such policy or policies of insurance shall name Lender as an additional insured and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior Written Notice to Lender of any intent to modify, cancel, non-renew, or terminate the policy or policies or the expiration of such policy or policies of insurance, or the exclusion of any individual risk such as acts of terrorism.  Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of each policy or policies required of Borrower hereunder, Borrower will deliver to Lender a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by other evidence of payment and renewal satisfactory to Lender.  In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower, in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums, and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.  In case of Borrower’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Lender, its successors or assigns, may, at its option (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrower’s sole expense.

(a)                                    Borrower shall observe, abide by and comply with all federal, regional, state and local laws, codes, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, decisions, orders, requirements or decrees relating to the Property enacted, promulgated or issued by any federal, state, county or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority or any agency or subdivision thereof having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property, which now or hereafter affect Borrower or the Property, including Hazardous Waste Laws and Accessibility Laws (collectively, the “Laws”), and to observe and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses, permits (including, but not limited to, zoning, variances, special exceptions and nonconforming uses), privileges, franchises and concessions which are applicable to the Property, or which have been granted to or contracted for by Borrower in connection with any existing, presently contemplated or future uses of the Property.

 

(b)                                   Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).  Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of this Mortgage, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

 

15

(ii)                                  Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)(2); or

 

(iii)                               Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(c) or (e) or an investment company registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

11.                                 Maintenance of Permits.  Borrower shall obtain, keep and constantly maintain in full force and effect during the entire term of this Mortgage, all certificates, licenses and permits necessary to keep the Property operating for the Existing Use and, except as specifically provided for in this Mortgage, not to assign, transfer or in any manner change such certificates, licenses or permits without first receiving the written consent of Lender.

 

12.                                 Obligations of Borrower as Lessor.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall perform every obligation of Borrower (as the landlord) and enforce every obligation of the tenant in any and every lease, license or other occupancy agreement of or affecting the Property or any part thereof (the “Occupancy Leases”), and not to modify, alter, waive or cancel any such Occupancy Leases or any part thereof or rights thereunder, without the prior written consent of Lender (but such consent shall not be required for such action as to Occupancy Leases of three thousand (3,000) square feet or less if such action is in the ordinary course of business of owning and operating the Property in a prudent and business-like manner, on then current market terms), nor collect for more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date due any Rents that may be collectible under any such Occupancy Leases and, except as provided for in this Mortgage, not to assign any such Occupancy Lease(s) or any such Rents relating thereto, to any party other than Lender, without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower will notify Lender in writing of any default under any Occupancy Lease, In the event of default under any such Occupancy Lease by reason of failure of Borrower to keep or perform one or more of the covenants, agreements or conditions thereof, Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, and may, at its sole option, remedy, remove or cure any such default, and further, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion but without obligation to do so, pay any sum of money deemed necessary by Lender for the performance of said covenants, agreements and conditions, or for the curing or removal of any such default, and incur all expenses and obligations which Lender may consider necessary or reasonable in connection therewith, and Borrower shall repay on demand all such sums so paid or advanced by Lender together with interest thereon until paid at the lesser of either; (i) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (ii) the then applicable interest rate of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of such sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become part of the Loan.

 

(b)                                 All such Occupancy Leases hereafter made shall be subject to the approval of Lender and: (i) shall be at competitive market rental rates then prevailing in the geographic area for projects used for the Existing Use comparable to the Property, (ii) shall have lease terms

 

16



 

of not less than three (3) years; and (iii) at Lender’s option, shall be superior or subordinate in all respects to the lien of this Mortgage. Provided, however, that Lender shall not require approval in advance of any Occupancy Leases which conform to the Borrower’s Form Lease (as hereinafter defined) as previously approved by Lender, except as set forth below.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein granted unto Lender to keep or perform any such covenants, agreements or conditions as aforesaid shall preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the whole Loan secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default in keeping or performing any such covenants, agreements or conditions.

 

(c)                                  Lender has approved a form of Occupancy Lease to be used by Borrower in connection with the Property (the “Form Lease”).  Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, modify or alter the Form Lease in any material respect.  In addition, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, surrender, terminate, modify or alter, either orally or in writing, any Occupancy Lease now existing or hereafter made with any Major Tenant (as hereinafter defined) for all or part of the Property, permit an assignment or sublease of any such Occupancy Lease, or request or consent to the subordination of any Occupancy Lease to any lien subordinate to this Mortgage.  Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of all executed Occupancy Leases of all or any part of the Property now existing or hereafter made, and Borrower shall assign to Lender (which assignment shall be in form and content acceptable to Lender), as additional security for the Note and the Loan, all Occupancy Leases now existing or hereafter made for all or any part of the Property.  Additionally, if any Occupancy Lease contains a provision allowing the tenant to terminate their lease upon payment of a lease termination fee, Borrower agrees that all such sums shall constitute rent, and shall be paid to Lender so long as this Mortgage is in effect.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing approval by Lender of Borrower’s Form Lease, Lender hereby specifically reserves the right to approve all prospective tenants under all Occupancy Leases hereafter proposed to be made if either: (i) the term thereof, excluding options to renew the same, exceeds five (5) years; or (ii) the net rentable area to be occupied thereunder, including expansion options, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the net leasable area of each of the buildings comprising the Improvements (the tenants under such leases being hereinafter referred to as “Major Tenants”).  Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of all prospective Major Tenants, and shall deliver to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, a copy of the prospective Major Tenant’s current financial statement and the most recent Dun & Bradstreet credit report on said prospective Major Tenant.  The financial statement delivered to Lender hereunder shall be certified as true and correct by the Major Tenant, or, if available, by a certified public accountant.  If Lender fails to respond within ten (10) business days after receipt from Borrower of an Occupancy Lease, together with tenant credit information, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Occupancy Lease; provided that all items so submitted shall be sent certified mail, labeled with the following statement: “TIME SENSITIVE RESPONSE REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ACTUAL RECEIPT.

 

(d)                                 In no event shall Borrower exercise any right to relocate any lessee outside the Property pursuant to any right set forth in an Occupancy Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

17



 

13.                               Maintenance of Parking & Access: Prohibition Against Alteration; Separate Tax Lot.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall construct, keep and constantly maintain, as the case may be, all curbs, drives, parking areas and the number of parking spaces heretofore approved by Lender, or heretofore or hereafter required by any Laws or any governmental body, agency or authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property, and as required by the terms of the Occupancy Leases, and not to alter, erect, build or construct upon any portion of the Property, any building, structure or improvement of any kind whatsoever, the erection, building or construction of which has not been previously approved by Lender in writing, which approval shall be at the sole discretion of Lender.

 

(b)                                 Borrower shall cause the Property to remain separately assessed for real estate tax purposes as a separate tax lot or lots.

 

14.                               Execution of Additional Documents.  Borrower shall do, make, execute, acknowledge, witness and deliver all deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, estoppel certificates, subordination non-disturbance and attornments, notices of assignments, transfers, assurances, security agreements, financing statements and renewals thereof, and all other instruments or other acts necessary, as Lender shall from time to time require for the purpose of better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, securing and confirming unto Lender the Property and rights hereby encumbered, created, conveyed, assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be encumbered, created, conveyed or assigned, or which Borrower may now be or may hereafter become bound to encumber, create, convey or assign to Lender, or for the purpose of carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and to pay all filing, registration or recording fees and all taxes, costs and other expenses, including Reasonable Attorneys Fees, incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment, delivery and recordation of any of the same.  By signing this Mortgage, Borrower authorizes Lender to file such financing statements, with or without the signature of Borrower, as Lender may elect, as may be necessary or desirable to perfect the lien of Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.  Without limiting any other provision herein, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file one or more financing statements and any renewal or continuation statements thereof, describing the Property and the proceeds of the Property, including, without limitation, a financing statement covering “all assets of Borrower all proceeds therefrom, and all rights and privileges with respect thereto”.  Borrower further authorizes Lender to file, with or without any additional signature from Borrower, as Lender may elect, such amendments and continuation statements as Lender may deem necessary or desirable from time to time to perfect or continue the lien of Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.  Borrower hereby ratifies any financing statements that may have been filed by Lender in advance of the date hereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.

 

15.                                    After Acquired Property Secured.  Borrower shall subject to the lien of this Mortgage all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Property hereinabove described, hereafter acquired by or released to Borrower, or constructed, assembled or placed by Borrower on the Real Property, and all conversions of the

 

18



 

security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case, without any further mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance, conveyance, assignment or other act by Borrower, as fully, completely and with the same effect as though now owned by Borrower and specifically described herein, but at any and all times, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all such further assurances, mortgages, deeds of trust, conveyances, security agreements, financing statements or assignments thereof or security interests therein as Lender may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien of this Mortgage.

 

16.                                   Payments by Lender on Behalf of Borrower.  Borrower shall make payment of any taxes, assessments or public charges on or with respect to the Property before the same shall become delinquent, or to make payment of any insurance premiums or other charges, impositions, or liens herein or elsewhere required to be paid by Borrower, or if Borrower shall fail so to do, then Lender, at its sole option, but without obligation to do so, may make payment or payments of the same and also may redeem the Property from tax sale without any obligation to inquire into the validity of such taxes, assessments, charges, impositions or liens.  In the case of any such payment by Lender, Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender, upon demand therefor, the amount of such payment and of any fees and expenses attendant in making the same, together with interest thereon at the lesser of either: (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable interest rate of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; and until paid such amounts and interest shall be added to and become part of the Loan secured hereby to the same extent that this Mortgage secures the repayment of the Loan.  In making payments authorized by the provisions of this Section 16, Lender may do so whenever, in Lender’s sole judgment and discretion, such advance or advances are necessary or desirable to protect the full security intended to be afforded by this Mortgage.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the rights herein granted to Lender to make any such payments as aforesaid shall preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the Loan secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default in making such payments as hereinabove required.

 

17.                                   Funds Held by Lender for Taxes, Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges.  In order to more fully protect the security of this Mortgage, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, together with and in addition to each monthly payment due on account of the Loan, an amount equal to one-twelfth (l/12th) of the annual total of such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges (all as estimated by Lender in its sole discretion) so that, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, Lender shall be able to pay in full all such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges as the same shall become due. Lender may hold the sums so deposited without paying interest, commingle same with its general funds and/or apply the same to the payment of said taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other charges as they become due and payable.  If at any time the funds so held by Lender are insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other charges as they become due and payable, Borrower shall immediately, upon Written Notice and demand by Lender, deposit with Lender the amount of such deficiency.  The failure on the part of Borrower to do so shall entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to make such payments in accordance with the rights and pursuant to the conditions elsewhere provided in this Mortgage.  Whenever any default exists under this Mortgage, Lender may, at Lender’s sole option but without an obligation

 

19



 

so to do, apply any funds so held by Lender pursuant to this Section 17 toward the payment of the Loan, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan may otherwise be adequately secured, in such order and manner of application as Lender may elect.

 

18.                                 Condemnation; Eminent Domain.  All claims and rights of action for, and all awards and other compensation heretofore or hereafter made to Borrower and all subsequent owners of the Property in any taking by eminent domain, recovery for inverse condemnation or by deed in lieu thereof, whether permanent or temporary, of all or any part of the Property or any easement or any appurtenance thereto, including severance and consequential damages and change in grade of any way, street, avenue, road, alley, passage or public place, are hereby assigned to Lender.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, and authorizes, directs and empowers Lender, at the option of Lender as said attorney-in-fact, on behalf of Borrower, its successors and assigns, to adjust or compromise the claim for any such award, and alone to collect and receive the proceeds thereof, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor and, after deducting any expenses of collection, at Lender’s sole option either:

 

(a)                                     to apply the net proceeds as a credit upon any portion of the Loan, as selected by Lender, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable, or that the Loan is otherwise adequately secured.  In the event Lender applies such awards to the reduction of the outstanding Loan evidenced by the Note, such proceeds shall be applied at par, and the monthly installments due and payable under the Note shall be reduced accordingly as calculated by Lender; however no such application shall serve to cure an existing default of Borrower; or

 

(b)                                    to hold said proceeds without any allowance of interest, and make the same available for restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements.  In the event that Lender elects to make said proceeds available to reimburse Borrower for the cost of the restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements on the Real Property, such proceeds shall be made available in the manner and under the same conditions as required under Section 8 hereof.  If the proceeds are made available by Lender to reimburse Borrower for the cost of said restoration or rebuilding, any surplus which may remain out of said award after payment of such cost of restoration or rebuilding, shall be applied on account of the Loan at par notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan may otherwise be adequately secured.

 

Borrower further covenants and agrees to give Lender immediate notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings under eminent domain, and to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceedings.  Borrower further covenants and agrees to make, execute and deliver to Lender, at any time or times, upon request, free, clear and discharged of any encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, any and all further assignments and/or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender for the purpose of validly and sufficiently assigning all such awards and other compensation heretofore or hereafter made to Lender (including the assignment of any award from the United States government at any time after the allowance of the claim therefor, the ascertainment of the amount thereof and the issuance of the warrant for payment thereof).

 

20



 

If either: (i) any part of any of the Improvements situated on the Real Property shall be condemned by any governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (ii) lands constituting a portion of the Real Property shall be condemned by any governmental authority having jurisdiction, such that the remaining Property is in violation of applicable parking, zoning, platting, or other ordinances, or fails to comply with the terms of the Occupancy Leases with Major Tenants.  In either of said events, Lender shall be entitled to application of condemnation proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of the Note at par, and the right to accelerate the maturity date of the Note and require payment in full without the imposition of a Prepayment Premium.

 

19.                                 Costs of Collection.  In the event that the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or in the event that Lender shall become a party either as plaintiff or as defendant, in any action, suit, appeal or legal proceeding (including, without limitation, foreclosure, condemnation, bankruptcy, administrative proceedings or any proceeding wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed), hearing, motion or application before any court or administrative body in relation to the Property or the lien and security interest granted or created hereby or herein, or for the recovery or protection of the Loan or the Property, or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or for the enforcement of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall indemnify, save, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by Lender on account thereof, and Borrower shall repay, on demand, all such Losses, together with interest thereon until paid at the lesser of either (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of which sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become a part of the Loan.

 

20.                                 Default Rate.  Any sums not paid when due, whether maturing by lapse of time or by reason of acceleration under the provisions of the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and whether principal, interest or money owing for advancements pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of either (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of which sums shall be added to and become a part of the Loan.

 

21.                                     Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the Note or in this Mortgage to the contrary, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, including but not limited to Prepayment Premiums, default interest and late payment charges, shall not exceed the limits imposed by the Laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, relating to maximum allowable charges of interest.  Lender shall not be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on the Loan, any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be charged by any Laws.  In the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Loan evidenced by the Note.  If the unpaid, principal balance of such Loan has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith returned to Borrower.

 

22.                                     Bankruptcy, Reorganization or Assignment.  It shall be a default hereunder if Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower shall: (a) elect to dissolve or

 

21



 

liquidate its business organization or wind up its business affairs without receiving the prior written approval of Lender; (b) consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of its assets; (c) be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (d) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) file a petition under or take advantage of any insolvency law; (f) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding, or fail to cause the dismissal of such petition within thirty (30) days after the filing of said petition; (g) take action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or (h) if any order, judgment or decree shall be entered upon an application of a creditor of Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower by a court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition seeking appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a substantial part of Borrower’s assets or any of Borrower’s general partner’s or managing member’s assets and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) days.

 

23.                                 Time is of the Essence, Monetary and Non-Monetary Defaults.  It is understood by Borrower that time is of the essence hereof in connection with all obligations of Borrower herein and any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Lender, at its sole option, may declare the Loan, as well as all other monies secured or evidenced hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Florida) and late payment charges, to be in default and forthwith due and payable, in the event:

 

(a)                                      Borrower defaults in the payment of any monthly installment of the Note, whether of principal or interest, or both, or in the payment of any other sums of money referred to herein or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, promptly and fully when the same shall be due, without notice or demand from Lender to Borrower in regard to such Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined), and any such Monetary Default remains uncured for a period of five (5) days after Written Notice thereof has been given by Lender to Borrower, unless Lender has previously given Borrower such Written Notice for a failure to pay in the then current Loan Year (as defined in the Note), in which event no such notice need be given and no right to cure need be afforded Borrower as to any further Monetary Default during such Loan Year.  It is understood and agreed that the agreement of Lender provided notice and an opportunity to cure a Monetary Default does not waive Lender’s right to any late payment charge.

 

(b)                                    Borrower breaches or defaults on any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Note, this Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents; or in the event that each and every one of said terms, covenants, conditions and agreements is not otherwise either duly, promptly and fully discharged or performed, and any such Non-Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after Written Notice thereof has been delivered from Lender to Borrower; unless such Non-Monetary Default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Borrower shall have a reasonable period of time to complete cure, provided that action to cure such Non-Monetary Default is promptly commenced within said thirty (30) day period, and Borrower is, in Lender’s sole judgment, not

 

22



 

diminishing or impairing the value of the Property, and is diligently pursuing a cure to completion, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days.

 

(c)                                    Any representation or warranty of Borrower or of its members, general partners, principals, affiliates, agents or employees, or of any Guarantor made herein or in or in any other Loan Document, in any guaranty, or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made.

 

(d)                                   Any seizure or forfeiture of the Property, or any portion thereof, or Borrower’s interest therein, resulting from criminal wrongdoing or other unlawful action of Borrower, its affiliates, or any tenant in the Property under any federal, state or local law.

 

(e)                                    If Borrower consummates a transaction which would cause this Mortgage or Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents to constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state statute regulating governmental plans, subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a state statute.

 

(f)                                      Any default occurs in the performance of any covenant or obligation of Borrower or any other party under any indemnity or guaranty delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan and such default continues beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods.

 

Upon the occurrence of any one of the above events, and at the option of Lender, the principal of and the interest accrued on the Loan and all other sums secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable as if all of said sums of money were originally stipulated to be paid on such day.  In addition, Lender may avail itself of all rights and remedies provided by law or equity, and may foreclose or prosecute a suit at law or in equity as if all monies secured hereby had matured prior to its institution, anything in this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.  Except as provided hereinabove, Lender shall have no obligation to give Borrower notice of, or any period to cure, any Monetary Default or any Incurable Default (as hereinafter defined) prior to exercising its rights, powers, privileges and remedies.

 

As used herein, the term “Monetary Default” shall mean any default which can be cured by the payment of money such as, but not limited to, the payment of principal and interest due under the Note, or the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when due as provided in this Mortgage.  As used herein, the term “Non-Monetary Default” shall mean any default that is not a Monetary Default or an Incurable Default.  As used herein, the term “Incurable Default” shall mean either: (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, mortgaging, encumbering or transfer in violation of the covenants contained herein or any of the other Loan Documents; or (ii) if Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, should breach any of the provisions of Section 22.

 

24.                                 Foreclosure.  Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, Lender may institute an action to foreclose this Mortgage as to the amount so declared due and payable, and thereupon

 

23



 

the Property (or any portion thereof) shall be sold according to law to satisfy and pay the same, together with all costs, expenses and allowances thereof, including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees.  The Property may be sold in one parcel, several parcels or groups of parcels, and Lender shall be entitled to bid at the sale, and, if Lender is the highest bidder for the Property or any part or parts thereof, Lender shall be entitled to purchase the same.  The failure or omission on the part of Lender to exercise the option for acceleration of maturity of the Note and foreclosure of this Mortgage following any default as aforesaid or to exercise any other option or remedy granted hereunder to Lender when entitled to do so in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of partial payment of the Loan secured hereby, whether before or subsequent to Borrower’s default hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver of any such default or the right to exercise any such option or remedy, but such option or remedy shall remain continuously in force.  Acceleration of the maturity of the Note, once claimed hereunder by Lender, at the option of Lender, may be rescinded by written acknowledgment to that effect by Lender, but the tender and acceptance of partial payments alone shall not in any way either affect or rescind such acceleration of maturity, nor act as a waiver, accord and satisfaction, modification, novation or similar defense.

 

25.                                 UCC Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of a default, Lender may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to the Fixtures and Personal Property under the UCC, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:

 

(a)                                    Written Notice mailed to Borrower as provided herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Fixtures and Personal Property or prior to the date after which private sale of the Fixtures and Personal Property will be made shall constitute reasonable notice;

 

(b)                                   any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with the sale of the Mortgaged Property under power of sale as provided herein upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Fixtures and Personal Property hereunder as is required for such sale of the Mortgaged Property under power of sale;

 

(c)                                    in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Fixtures and Personal Property and the Mortgaged Property may, at the option of Lender, be sold as a whole;

 

(d)                                   it shall not be necessary that Lender take possession of the Fixtures and Personal Property or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Fixtures and Personal Property or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale;

 

(e)                                    prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Fixtures and Personal Property to the secured indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the Reasonable Attorneys Fees and other legal expenses incurred by Lender;

 

(f)                                      any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of

 

24



 

the indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Lender having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited;

 

(g)                                    Lender may appoint or delegate any one (1) or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Lender, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender; and

 

(h)                                    this Mortgage covers Goods which are or are to become Fixtures related to the Real Property, and covers As-Extracted Collateral related to the Real Property.  A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of any financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing statement.  This Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records in the Office of the County Clerk where the Property (including said fixtures) is situated.  This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement As-Extracted Collateral with respect to all As-Extracted Collateral included within the Real Property (including, without limitation, all oil, gas, other minerals, and other substances of value which may be extracted from the earth and all accounts arising out of the sale at the wellhead or minehead thereof), and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of the county where the Property is situated.  The mailing address of Borrower is set forth in Section 43 of this Mortgage and the address of Lender from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained is the address of Lender set forth in Section 43 of this Mortgage.

 

26.                                 Protection of Lender’s Security.  At any time after default hereunder, Lender, or Lender’s agents or contractors, is authorized, without notice and in Lender’s sole discretion, to enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, and to perform any acts which Lender deems necessary or proper to conserve the security interest herein intended to be provided by the Property, to operate any business or businesses conducted thereon, and to collect and receive all Rents thereof and therefrom, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter.

 

27.                                 Appointment of Receiver.  If, at any time after a default hereunder, Lender deems, in Lender’s sole discretion, that a receivership may be necessary to protect the Property or its Rents, whether before or after maturity of the Note and whether before or at the time of or after the institution of foreclosure or suit to collect the Loan or to enforce this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender, as a matter of strict right and regardless of the value of the Property or the amounts due hereunder or secured hereby, or of the solvency of any party bound for the payment of such indebtedness, shall have the right, upon ex parte application and without notice to anyone, and by any court having jurisdiction, to the appointment of a receiver to take charge of, manage, preserve, protect and operate the Property, to collect the Rents thereof, to make all necessary and needful repairs, and to pay all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other such charges against and expenses of the Property, and to do such other acts as may by such court be authorized and directed, and after payment of the expenses of the receivership and the management of the Property, to apply the net proceeds of such receivership in reduction of

 

25



 

the Loan or in such other manner as the said court shall direct notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or the said Loan is otherwise adequately secured.  Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all sums hereby secured or until title to the Property shall have passed by sale under this Mortgage.  Borrower hereby specifically waives its right to object to the appointment of a receiver as aforesaid, and hereby expressly agrees that such appointment shall be made as an admitted equity and as a matter of absolute right to Lender.

 

28.                                 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Forbearance Not a Waiver. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, and Lender, as the holder of the Note and of every other obligation secured hereby, may recover judgment thereon, issue execution therefor and resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, without first exhausting any right or remedy available to Lender and without affecting or impairing the security of any right or remedy afforded hereby, and no enumeration of special rights or powers by any provisions hereof shall be construed to limit any grant of general rights or powers, or to take away or limit any and all rights granted to or vested in Lender by law or equity.  Borrower further agrees that no delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any rights or powers accruing to it hereunder shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default hereunder or an acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy granted herein or by law or equity to Lender may be exercised from time to time as often as Lender deems expedient.

 

Lender may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Loan, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Lender in its sole discretion, and any such action shall not be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage.  To the full extent Borrower may do so, Borrower agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Borrower, for Borrower and Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrower, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created.  Borrower shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the secured indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of such indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.  If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Borrower or Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns and such other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall

 

26



 

hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.

 

29.                                   Modification Not an Impairment of Security.  Lender, without notice and without regard to the consideration, if any, paid therefor, and notwithstanding the existence at that time of any inferior mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens thereon, may release any part of the security described herein, or may release any person or entity liable for the Loan secured hereby without in any way affecting the priority of this Mortgage, to the full extent of the Loan remaining unpaid hereunder, upon any part of the security not expressly released.  Lender may, at its option and within Lender’s sole discretion, also agree with any party obligated on the Loan, or having any interest in the security described herein, to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the Loan, and such agreement shall not, in any way, release or impair this Mortgage, but shall extend the same as against the title of all parties having any interest in said security, which interest is subject to this Mortgage.

 

30.                                   Property Management and Leasing.  The exclusive manager of the Property shall be Borrower, or such other manager as may be first approved in writing by Lender.  The exclusive leasing agent of the Property, if other than Borrower or the foregoing party, shall be first approved in writing by Lender.  The management and leasing contracts (or in the absence of any such written contract, a letter so stating and further identifying the name of the person or entity charged with the responsibility for managing and/or leasing the Property)  shall be subordinate to this Mortgage, and satisfactory to and subject to the prior written approval of Lender throughout the term of the Loan.  Upon default in either of these requirements, then the whole of the Loan hereby secured shall, at the election of Lender, become immediately due and payable, together with any Prepayment Premium, late payment charges and all other sums required by the Note or the other Loan Documents, and Lender shall be entitled to exercise any or all remedies provided for or referenced in this Mortgage.

 

31.                                   Modification Not a Waiver.  In the event Lender (a) releases, as aforesaid, any part of the security described herein or any person or entity liable for the Loan; (b) grants an extension of time for the payment of the Note; (c) takes other or additional security for the payment of the Note; or (d) waives or fails to exercise any rights granted herein, in the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, any said act or omission shall not release Borrower, subsequent purchasers of the Property or any part thereof, or makers, sureties, endorsers or guarantors of the Note, if any, from any obligation or any covenant of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, nor preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any other default then made, or any subsequent default.

 

32.                                   Transfer of Property or Controlling Interest in Borrower: Assumption.  Except as set forth in Section 38(b) hereof, without the prior written consent of Lender, the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of all or any portion of the Property, or the transfer, assignment or conveyance of a controlling interest in Borrower or its general partner or managing member, or any guarantor, whether voluntary or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender, shall constitute a default hereunder, and entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to accelerate all sums due on the Note, together with any Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Florida), late payment charges or any other amounts

 

27



 

secured hereby.  Lender may, however, elect to waive the option to accelerate granted hereunder if, prior to any such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of the Property, the following conditions shall be fully satisfied: (a) Lender acknowledges in writing that, in Lender’s sole discretion, the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee and the ability and experience of the proposed transferee to operate the Property are satisfactory to Lender; (b) Lender and the proposed transferee shall enter into an agreement in writing that (i) the rate of interest payable on the Loan secured hereby shall be at such rate as Lender shall determine, (ii) the repayment schedule as set forth in the Note shall be modified by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, to initiate amortization or modify the existing amortization schedule in order to amortize the then remaining unpaid principal balance of the Note secured hereby over a period of time as determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, without a change in the maturity date of the Note, and (iii) the proposed transferee shall assume all obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents in writing and an assumption fee, to be determined by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, may be charged by Lender; (c) Lender shall receive, for Lender’s review and approval, copies of all transfer documents; and (d) Borrower or the transferee shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer and assumption, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses incurred by Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that Borrower’s general partner is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and that such general partner shares are freely traded in the public markets.  Transfers of shares of the general partner in the ordinary course of such trading shall not be a default under the loan documents.

 

Borrower, or any subsequent owner of the Property or any portion thereof, shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its and their legal existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of the State of its formation and its right to own property and transact business in the State of Florida.  It shall be a default hereunder if Borrower, or any subsequent owner of the Property or any portion thereof, shall amend, modify, transfer, assign or terminate the applicable governing documents for such entity, including its partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, operating agreement, articles of organization, regulations, articles of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be (as applicable, the “Governing Documents”), of Borrower or such subsequent owner without the prior written consent of Lender.  Borrower, or such subsequent owner of the Property, shall provide Lender with copies of any proposed amendment to its applicable Governing Documents, so that Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion, determine whether such amendment adversely affects Lender, the Property or the security value thereof.  Provided, however, that any amendment, modification, transfer, assignment or termination of Borrower’s applicable Governing Documents or any other action pursuant to which the current general partner or managing member of Borrower shall either: (i) cease to be the general partner or managing member of Borrower; or (ii) except to the extent permitted herein, cease to own or maintain a partnership or membership interest in Borrower equal to or greater than its partnership or membership interest at the time this Mortgage is executed, shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect upon Lender and the Property, and shall be a default hereunder.

 

Borrower shall not change its name or identity in any manner which may make any financing or continuation statement filed in connection with the Loan seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC enacted in the State of Florida or change its jurisdiction of

 

28



 

organization unless Borrower shall have delivered to Lender written notice thereof not less than thirty (30) days before the effective date of such change and shall have taken all action which Lender determines to be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and protect Lender’s security interests and rights under this Mortgage and the perfection and priority thereof.  Borrower will not change its principal places of business unless it shall have given Lender prior written notice of its intent to do so not less than thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such change.  Borrower shall bear all costs incurred by Lender in connection with any such change including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorney’s Fees.

 

In the event the ownership of the Property, or any part thereof, shall become vested in a person or entity other than Borrower, whether with or without the prior written consent of Lender, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Property, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, in the same manner and to the same extent as with Borrower without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.  No sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender and no extension of time given by Lender to Borrower for the payment of the Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower, either in whole or in part, unless expressly set forth in writing executed by Lender.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower hereby waives any right it now has or may hereafter have to require Lender to prove an impairment of its security as a condition to the exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 32.

 

A sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance within the meaning of this Section shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to: (a) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a tenant under an Occupancy Lease or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any leases or any Rents; (c) if Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any general partner or managing member of Borrower, is a corporation, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or pledge of such corporation’s stock (or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such corporation by operation of law or otherwise), or the creation or issuance of new stock by which an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of such corporation’s stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now stockholders; and (d) if Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor, or any general partner or managing member of Borrower, is a limited partnership, general partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture, the change, removal or resignation of a general partner, managing partner, or member, or the transfer or pledge of the interest of any general partner, managing partner, or member or any profits or proceeds relating to such interest.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 32 to the contrary, including the immediately-preceding paragraph, as long as no default has occurred hereunder or under the Note and is continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period, ownership interests in Borrower or the Property (provided that there shall be no more than one owner of the Property) may be transferred or assigned to The Inland Group, Inc. or Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, to an Affiliate of The Inland Group, Inc. or Inland Retail Real Estate Trust Investment Corporation or to a real estate investment trust sponsored by one of the

 

29



 

foregoing entities provided that Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. ratifies its obligations as indemnitor and guarantor under the Indemnity Agreement and Guaranty Agreement of even date herewith in favor of Lender, and such Affiliate or real estate investment trust retains management and operating control of Borrower, without necessity of Lender’s consent and without payment of a fee or premium except Lender’s actual reasonable fees so long as the transferee assumes (subject to the non-recourse provisions and carve-outs contained therein) all obligations of the transferor, if any, under the Note and the Loan Documents, if any.  “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to a party, any person or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such party, with “control” and its derivatives meaning the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such party, whether through the ownership of voting stock, partnership interests or units or limited liability company membership interests or by contract or otherwise.  No transfer or assignment shall be valid or permitted hereunder unless Lender has received prior written notice of the transfer or assignment and copies of all transfer and other related documents and Borrower pays all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer and assumption, including, without limitation, title insurance charges (if the proposed transfer would impair Lender’s title insurance) and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees.  Any transfer of which does not strictly comply with the terms and conditions of this Section 32 shall be a default hereunder and shall entitle Lender to exercise all rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage.

 

33.                                 Further Encumbrance Prohibited; Subrogation.  So long as the Note remains unpaid, Borrower shall not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, permit the Property or any part thereof to become subject to any secondary or subordinate lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever without the prior written consent of Lender, and the imposition of any such secondary lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or encumbrance without the approval of Lender shall constitute a default hereunder, and entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to declare the outstanding principal balance of the Note, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, late payment charges and any other amounts secured hereby to be and become immediately due and payable in full.  In the event that Lender shall hereafter give its written consent to the imposition of any such secondary lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other encumbrance upon the Property, Lender, at Lender’s sole option, shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of the Note and exercise any and all remedies provided and available to Lender hereunder and in the other Loan Documents in the event that the holder of any such secondary lien or encumbrance shall institute foreclosure or other proceedings to enforce the same; it being understood and agreed that a default under any instrument or document evidencing, securing or secured by any such secondary lien or encumbrance shall be and constitute a default hereunder.  In the event all or any portion of the proceeds of the Loan are used for the purpose of retiring debt or debts secured by prior liens on the Property, Lender shall be subrogated to the rights and lien priority of the holder or holders of the lien or liens so discharged.

34.                                Conveyance of Mineral Rights Prohibited.   Borrower agrees that the making of any oil, gas or mineral lease, or the sale or conveyance of any mineral interest or right to explore for minerals under, through or upon the Property, would impair the value of the Property, and that Borrower shall have no right, power or authority to lease the Property, or any part thereof, for oil, gas or other mineral purposes, or to grant, assign or convey any mineral interest of any nature, or the right to explore for oil, gas and other minerals, without first obtaining Lender’s express written permission therefor, which permission shall not be valid until recorded among the Public Records of Brevard County, in the State of Florida.  Borrower further agrees that if Borrower shall make, execute, or enter into any such lease or attempt to grant any such mineral rights without such prior written permission of Lender, then Lender shall have the option, without notice, to declare the same to be a default hereunder, and to declare the Loan immediately due and payable in full.  Whether or not Lender shall consent to such lease or grant of mineral rights, Lender shall receive the entire consideration to be paid for any such lease or grant of mineral rights, with the same to be applied to the Loan notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan is otherwise adequately secured; provided, however, that the acceptance of such consideration shall in no way impair the lien of this Mortgage on the Property or cure any existing Monetary Default.

 

35.                                Estoppel Certification by Borrower.  Borrower, upon request of Lender therefor made either personally or by mail, shall certify in writing to Lender (or any party designated by Lender), in a form satisfactory to Lender or such designee, the amount of principal and interest then outstanding under the terms of the Note and any other sums due and owing under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Loan.  Such certification shall be made by Borrower within ten (10) days if the request is made personally, or within twenty (20) days if the request is made by mail.

 

36.                                Cross Default.  The Note is also secured by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Assignment and, additionally, may be secured by contracts or agreements of guaranty or other security instruments.  The terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of each security instrument shall be considered a part hereof as fully as if set forth herein verbatim.  Any default under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a default hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Lender shall not prejudice or in any manner affect the right of Lender to enforce any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that Lender shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by it in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

37.                                Examination of Borrower’s Records.  Borrower will maintain complete and accurate books and records showing in detail the income and expenses of the Property, and will permit Lender and its agents, contractors or representatives to examine said books and records and all supporting vouchers and data during normal business hours and from time to time upon request by Lender, in such place as such books and records are customarily kept.  Borrower will furnish to Lender, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each respective fiscal period annual and semi-annual financial statements (income statements and a balance sheet) for the Borrower and the Property.  These statements shall be in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall

 

31



 

include a rent roll, certified as true and correct by Borrower.  The statements shall show in detail all income derived from and expenses incurred in connection with the ownership of the Property, including current annual sales figures for all Major Tenants of the Property if required under the Major Tenant leases or if such financial information is otherwise available.  In the event Borrower fails to provide such statements to Lender within the time prescribed above, Borrower shall pay Lender the sum of TWO HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($200.00) in administrative expenses for each successive month for which the statements are delinquent. Upon a default hereunder beyond any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender shall have the right to require that said financial statements be audited and certified by a certified public accountant acceptable to Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

 

In addition, at the request of Lender, but in no case more often than once a quarter or more than three (3) times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (i) unaudited financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and current rent roll) covering operation of the Property for periods other than those set forth in the preceding paragraph; (ii) unaudited financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) for Borrower, its general partner(s), shareholder(s) or member(s) (whichever is applicable) and for such other principals of Borrower as designated by Lender; and (iii) a portfolio analysis showing annualized cash flow statements (including debt service payments) for all real properties owned by Borrower, its general partner(s), shareholder(s), or member(s) (whichever is applicable) and for such designated principals.  All such statements shall be certified to Lender to be complete, correct, and accurate by the individual (for an individual’s statements) or by an authorized representative of the entity (if statements are for a partnership, corporation or limited liability company).

 

38.                                   Alteration, Removal and Change in Use of Property Prohibited.  Borrower covenants and agrees to permit or suffer none of the following without the prior written consent of Lender:

 

(a)                                    Any structural alteration of, or addition to, the Improvements now or hereafter situated upon the Real Property, or the addition of any new buildings or other structure(s) thereto, other than the erection or removal of non-load bearing interior walls; or

 

(b)                                   The removal, transfer, sale or lease (except for Occupancy Leases) of the Property, except that the removal, replacement or substitution of fixtures, equipment, machinery, apparatus and articles of personal property (replacement or substituted items must be of like or better quality than the removed items in their original condition) encumbered hereby may be made in the normal course of business; or

 

(c)                                    The use of any of the Improvements now or hereafter situated on the Real Property for any purpose other than the Existing Use and related facilities.

 

39.                                   Future Advances Secured.  This Mortgage shall secure not only existing indebtedness, but also future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Lender.  Upon the request of Borrower, and at Lender’s option prior to release of this Mortgage, Lender may make future advances to Borrower.  All future advances with interest thereon shall be secured by this Mortgage to the same extent as if such future advances were

 

32



 

made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage unless the parties shall agree otherwise in writing, but the total secured indebtedness shall not exceed at any one time a maximum principal amount equal to double the face amount of the Note plus interest and costs of collection, including court costs and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees.  Any advances or disbursements made for the benefit or protection of or the payment of taxes, assessments, levies or insurance upon the Property, with interest on such disbursements as provided herein, shall be added to the principal balance of the Note and collected as a part thereof.  To the extent that this Mortgage may secure more than one note, a default in the payment of any such mortgage note shall constitute a default in the payment of all such notes.  The filing of any notice limiting the maximum amount that may be secured by this Mortgage pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 697.04 or otherwise shall be and constitute a default under this Mortgage.

 

40.                                 Effect of Security Agreement.  Borrower agrees to, and shall upon the request of Lender, execute and deliver to Lender, in form and content satisfactory to Lender, such financing statements, descriptions of property and such further assurances as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may from time to time consider necessary to create, perfect, continue and preserve the lien and encumbrances hereof, and the security interest granted herein, upon and in the Property.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created, pursuant to the UCC, any other security interest in such real and personal property and fixtures described herein.  Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder or Borrower’s breach of any other covenants or agreements between the parties entered into in conjunction herewith, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC as provided in Section 25, and at Lender’s option, the remedies provided for in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.  Lender, at the expense of Borrower, may cause such statements, descriptions and assurances, as herein provided in this Section 40, and this Mortgage, to be recorded and re-recorded, filed and refiled, at such times and in such places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve the lien and encumbrance hereof upon all of the Property.

 

41.                                 Terms of Application Survive Closing.  The terms and provisions of the letter from Lender consenting to the assumption of the Loan by Borrower dated December 21, 2004 and accepted by Borrower on December 30, 2004 and any subsequent amendments thereto (the “Application”), executed by and between Borrower and Lender, are incorporated herein by reference.  All terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Application not expressly set forth in this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, and remain in full force and effect.  In the event any conflict exists between the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Application and the Loan Documents, the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Loan Documents shall prevail.

 

42.                                       Successors and Assigns; Terminology.  The provisions hereof shall be binding upon Borrower and the heirs, personal representatives, trustees, successors and assigns of Borrower, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns.  Where more than one (1) Borrower is named herein, the obligations and liabilities of said Borrower shall be joint and several.

December 30, 2004

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, INLAND WESTERN CEDAR HILL PLEASANT RUN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Illinois limited partnership, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523, as maker hereunder (referred to herein as “Borrower”) hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, its successors and assigns, having an address at 911 Main Street, Suite 1500, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 (“Lender”), or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of TWENTY-TWO MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($22,800,000.00), in lawful money of the United States of America with interest thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Interest Rate, and to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 1

PAYMENT TERMS

 

Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal sum of this Note from time to time outstanding at the rates and at the times specified in the Loan Agreement and the outstanding balance of the principal sum of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. This Note shall be the “Note” as defined in the Loan Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 2

DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

 

The Debt shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender if any payment required in this Note is not paid on or prior to the date when due or if not paid on the Maturity Date or on the happening of any other Event of Default.

 

ARTICLE 3

LOAN DOCUMENTS

 

This Note is secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall govern.

 



 

ARTICLE 4

SAVINGS CLAUSE

 

It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law, or federal law (if applicable), governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Loan Documents.  All agreements in this Note and all other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, prepayment, or otherwise, shall the amount agreed to be paid hereunder for the use, forbearance, or detention of money exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury laws (the Maximum Amount”).  To the extent Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, and its successor statutes and amendments, as then in effect (collectively, the ‘‘Statute”), are applicable, the “weekly ceiling” specified in the Statute, as selected by Lender, is the applicable ceiling. Lender may, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by applicable law, at its option and from time to time revise its election of the applicable “rate ceiling” as to current and future balances outstanding, and may use the “quarterly ceiling” or the “monthly ceiling” from time to time in effect, as such terms are defined in the Statute, or any other legally available “ceilings” as the Maximum Amount under Texas or other applicable law. If the Maximum Amount as determined under any applicable federal law shall at any time exceed the maximum rate of interest as determined under applicable Texas law, then to the extent permitted by law, the applicable federal rate shall be deemed controlling for purposes of determining the Maximum Amount during such period of time. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulate certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby. This Article 4 will control all agreements between Borrower and Lender. If, from any circumstance whatsoever (including without limitation, the receipt of any late charge or similar amount), fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other Loan Document at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve exceeding any usury limit prescribed by law that a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to allow compliance with such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest in an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall be deemed a mistake and shall be canceled automatically or, if theretofore paid, such excess shall be credited against the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby to which the same may lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be refunded immediately to Borrower.  Borrower hereby agrees that, as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or the indebtedness evidenced hereby or in the Loan Documents then owing by Borrower to Lender. All interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of this Note, including any extensions and renewals hereof until payment in full of the principal balance of this Note so that the interest thereon for such full term will not exceed at any time the Maximum Amount.

ARTICLE 5

NO ORAL CHANGE

 

This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

 

ARTICLE 6

WAIVERS

 

Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest and notice of protest and non-payment and all other notices of any kind.  No release of any security for the Debt or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other Person shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower, and any other Person who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt, under this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  If Borrower is a partnership, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals comprising the partnership, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor partnership, but any predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from any liability.  If Borrower is a limited liability company, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the members comprising the company, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor company, but any predecessor company and its members shall not thereby be released from any liability.  If Borrower is a corporation, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full force and applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders comprising, or the officers and directors relating to, the corporation, and the term “Borrower” as used herein, shall include any alternative or successor corporation, but any predecessor corporation shall not be relieved of liability hereunder.  (Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in such entity which may be set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.)

 

ARTICLE 7

2.2.2        Interest Calculation.  Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable for a period of less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year.

 

2.2.3        Payments Generally.   Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to but not including the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, and (b) on February 1, 2005 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount which is an amount equal to the interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the prior calendar month, calculated as set forth herein, which payments shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate.

2.2.5        Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and other the Loan Documents.

accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the cure of such Event of Default in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender or (ii) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage.  This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default.

 

2.2.7        Late Payment Charge.   If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date which is five (5) days after the date it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.

2.2.8        Usury Savings.   The provisions of Section 4 of the Note are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

 

Section 2.3             Prepayments.

 

2.3.1        Voluntary Prepayments.

 

(a)           Borrower may at any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided it has given Lender prior written notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, prepay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in whole, but not in part, by paying, together with the amount to be prepaid, (i) interest accrued and unpaid on the portion of the principal balance of the Loan being prepaid to and including the date of prepayment, (ii) unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid after the date of prepayment through and including the next Payment Date had the prepayment not been made (which amount shall constitute additional consideration for the prepayment), (iii) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) a prepayment consideration (the “Prepayment Consideration”) equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the principal balance of the Loan being prepaid or (B) the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under this Agreement including, but not limited to, principal and interest on the Maturity Date (with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of prepayment at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate), over (2) the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.

 

20



 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a) of this Section to the contrary, on the Payment Date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt without payment of any Prepayment Consideration; provided, however, if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the next regularly scheduled Payment Date.  Borrower’s right to prepay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the amount to be prepaid and the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the amount to be prepaid as set forth in such notice on the projected date set forth in such notice or any day following such projected date occurring in the same calendar month as such projected date.

 

2.3.2        Mandatory Prepayments.  On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.  Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

 

2.3.3        Prepayments after Default. Following an Event of Default, if Borrower or anyone on Borrower’s behalf makes a tender of payment of all or any portion of the Debt at any time prior to a foreclosure sale (including a sale under the power of sale under the Mortgage), or during any redemption period after foreclosure, (i) the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of Borrower’s obligation to pay any Prepayment Consideration due under this Agreement and such payment shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include a premium equal to the Prepayment Consideration that would have been payable on the date of such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.

 

Section 2.4             Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 2.5             Release of Property.   Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to

 

21



 

require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property. If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire amount of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.1 and the requirements of this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage.

 

2.5.1        Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Loan Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property not theretofore released.

 

Section 2.6             Manner of Making Payments.

 

2.6.1        Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

2.6.2        No Deductions, Etc. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

26



 

property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.1.4        Litigation.    To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of the Property.

 

4.1.5        Agreements.    Except such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Encumbrances in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound.  Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.6        Title.   Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, no petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.

 

4.1.8        Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

4.1.9        No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.

4.1.10      Compliance.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes.  Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority.

4.1.11      Financial Information.   All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of the Property (i) are to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein; provided, however, that if any financial data is delivered to Lender by any Person other than Borrower, Indemnitor or any of their Affiliates, or if such financial data has been prepared by or at the direction of any Person other than Borrower, Indemnitor or any of their Affiliates, then the foregoing representations with respect to such financial data shall be to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry.  Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as retail shopping centers, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.  Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

4.1.12      Condemnation.   No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property.

 

4.1.13      Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Lender shall approve or disapprove any such Lease within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of a final execution draft of such Lease (including all exhibits, schedules, supplements, addenda or other agreements relating thereto) and a written notice from Borrower requesting Lender’s approval to such Lease, and such Lease shall be deemed approved, if Lender does not disapprove such Lease within said ten (10) Business Day period provided such written notice conspicuously states, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF SUCH LEASE AND WRITTEN NOTICE.” Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates (unless such rental rates are otherwise set forth in the Leases executed prior to the date hereof).  All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.  All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the Property and that the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale.  Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair

 

40



 

the value of the Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property provided, however, that no such termination or surrender of any Lease covering more than the Relevant Leasing Threshold will be permitted without the written consent of Lender which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignment in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate any Lease which demises less than the Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure period, and Borrower has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Borrower has secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated has executed a right under said Lease to terminate its lease upon payment of a termination fee to Borrower, and has in fact terminated its lease and paid said fee, Borrower may accept said termination.

 

5.1.21      Alterations. Subject to the rights of tenants to make alterations pursuant to the terms of their respective Leases, Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or (d) any structural alteration which costs less than $50,000.00 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration or any non-structural alteration which costs less than $100,000.00 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed $350,000.00 (the Threshold Amount), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,

 

41



 

withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

5.2.4        Change in Business.  Borrower shall not enter into any line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present business.

 

5.2.5        Debt Cancellation.   Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.

 

5.2.6        Affiliate Transactions. Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the partners of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party. Lender hereby acknowledges disclosure of the agreements described on Schedule VI between Borrower and an Affiliate of Borrower.

 

5.2.7        Zoning. Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender.

47

(iv)          at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(viii)        if any of the policies of insurance covering the risks required to be covered under subsections (i) through (vii) above contains an exclusion from coverage for acts of terrorism, Borrower shall obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in the event of any act of terrorism, provided such coverage is commercially available for properties similar to the Property and located in or around the region in which the Property is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to

 

48



 

obtain such a policy, provided (I) Borrower confirms to Lender, in writing, that it shall protect and hold Lender harmless from any losses associated with such risks by, among other things, either (A) depositing with Lender sums sufficient to pay for all uninsured costs related to a Restoration of the Property following any act of terrorism (which sum shall be treated as a Net Proceeds Deficiency) and any remaining balance following a Restoration shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower in accordance with Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof), or (B) at the option of Borrower prepaying the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith; (II) Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Terrorism Insurance Guarantor”) executes a guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, guaranteeing in the event of any act of terrorism, payment to Lender of any sums that Borrower is obligated to pay to Lender under clause (I) above (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof), and (III) Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $300,000,000 (as determined by such entity’s most recent audited financial statements), such entity maintains a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower, and the aggregate loan-to-value ratio (as determined by Lender) (“LTV”) for all properties on which such entity has a direct or indirect ownership interest shall not exceed 55%, however, Terrorism Insurance Guarantor may exceed the 55% LTV for a period not to exceed six (6) months out of any twelve (12) month period either 1) during the time period when Terrorism Insurance Guarantor is offering securities to the public, or 2) when in the business judgement of Terrorism Insurance Guarantor, exceeding an LTV of 55% is necessary given existing circumstances of the credit environment, but in no event shall the LTV exceed 65% if Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth greater than or equal to $300,000,000, but less than $400,000,000, or 70% if Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $400,000,000.

 

(ix)           upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

(b)           All insurance provided for in Section 6.1 (a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the Policies or in the singular, the Policy), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “AA” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, and (ii) Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. if Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. is rating the Securities. The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

 

49



 

(c)           Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).

 

(d)           All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)           All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)             no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)            the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)           the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)           Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)             If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owing to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgage.  The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property.

Section 6.2            Casualty.  If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a Casualty), Borrower (a) shall give to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a Restoration) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

 

Section 6.3             Condemnation.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

 

Section 6.4              Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)             If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Relevant Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J) and (L) of Section 6.4(b)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The term Net Proceeds for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (x) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (Insurance Proceeds), or (y) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (Condemnation Proceeds), whichever the case may be.

(B)           (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, and (x) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty, or (y) Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the restoration of the Property, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, and (x) less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land, or (y) Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the restoration of the Property;

 

(C)           Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense.  The term Rentable Space Percentage shall mean (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);

 

(D)          Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)           Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire

(F)           Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);

 

(G)           the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided, however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements) will not require restoration of the Improvements or the Property to a size, condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed immediately prior to such Casualty or taking;

 

(H)          the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws);

 

(I)            such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

 

(J)            the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 2.1:1;

 

(K)          Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets of similar retail properties then owned and operated by nationally recognized owners and operators of retail properties located in the areas in which the Property is located; and

 

(L)           the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii)             The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of

 

53



 

evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in connection with the Restoration have been performed, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

 

(iii)            All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the Casualty Consultant), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and rnaterialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(iv)            In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term Casualty Retainageshall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement

 

54



 

to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)          Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)         If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the Net Proceeds Deficiency) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)         The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)            All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Consideration in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.

 

(d)            In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

55



 

(e)            Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 7.1             Required Repair Funds.

 

7.1.1         Deposits.   Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, if any, as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto within six (6) months from the date of funding (such repairs hereinafter referred to as Required Repairs).  Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (i) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III, and (ii) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such Schedule III hereto, if any, to perform the Required Repairs for the Property.  Amounts so deposited with Lender, if any, shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account. Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Required Repair Fund and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Required Repair Account.”

 

7.1.2         Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions:  (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to

 

56



 

Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.  Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.

 

Section 7.2              Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution.  Any interest earned on said account shall be held in said account and credited toward future deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property is insured under a “blanket” policy which is acceptable to Lender and which otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Agreement and (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Property have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make

 

57



 

deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums due on such “blanket” policy of insurance and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Property is not insured under a “blanket” insurance policy which satisfies the requirements of this Agreement or Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.3              Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

7.3.1          Replacement Reserve Fund.   Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date hereof and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the Replacements), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.15 per year per square foot of gross leasable area. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Replacement Reserve Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s Replacement Reserve Account.”  Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.  Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that, any interest accrued on the amounts on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be disbursed to Borrower no more than once per calendar year upon the written request of Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Property to Lender’s satisfaction. Upon notice from Lender following: (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements or otherwise maintain the Property to Lender’s satisfaction, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice.

 

7.3.2         Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.

 

(a)             Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements.  Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).

 

(b)             Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse

 

58



 

Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.

 

(c)            Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts.  Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested.  Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

(d)           Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

 

(e)            If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the

 

59



 

Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

 

(f)                                    Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.

 

7.3.3                        Performance of Replacements.

 

(a)                                  Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service retail properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

 

(b)                                 Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

 

(c)                                  In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d)                                 In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows:  (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall

 

60



 

be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

(f)                                    Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

 

(g)                                 Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

 

(h)                                 The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

 

(i)                                     Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the

 

61



 

Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

 

(j)                                     All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

(k)                                  In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

 

7.3.4                        Failure to Make Replacements.

 

(a)                                  It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

 

7.3.5                        Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

7.3.6                        Indemnification.          BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, OBLIGATIONS AND COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING LITIGATION COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES) ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REPLACEMENTS

 

62



 

UNLESS THE SAME ARE SOLELY DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER. BORROWER SHALL ASSIGN TO LENDER ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS BORROWER MAY HAVE AGAINST ALL PERSONS OR ENTITIES SUPPLYING LABOR OR MATERIALS IN CONNECTION WITH THE REPLACEMENTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LENDER MAY NOT PURSUE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR CLAIM UNLESS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND REMAINS UNCURED.

7.7.6                        Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

Section 8.2                                      Remedies.

 

(a)                                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that upon any Event of Default described in clause (xi) above, in addition to all other remedies available to Lender, Lender shall have the right to enforce Indemnitor’s guaranty of the payment of the Purchase Price Adjustment, as set forth in the Indemnity Agreement, without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral or without first having recourse to any Loan Document or any of the Property through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise.

 

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

 

(c)                                  Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in

 

66



 

its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d)                                 As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.

 

Section 8.3                                      Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1                                      Sale of Notes and Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the Securitization) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage.

(d)                                       execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.

 

All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.

In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.

 

Section 9.3                                      Rating Surveillance. Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the Rating Surveillance Charge).

 

Section 9.4                                      Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender or Trustee may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender or Trustee to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the

 

68



 

Property, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any other collateral given to Lender or Trustee pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender or Trustee, and Lender or Trustee, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender or Trustee to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender or Trustee thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender or Trustee to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender or Trustee commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender or Trustee to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender or Trustee to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender or Trustee (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following;

69



 

(viii)                        any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.

 

(ix)                                the breach of Borrower’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 10.13(b) hereof with respect to a Purchase Price Adjustment.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that the (I) first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), or (II) failure of Borrower to permit on-site inspections of the Property subject to the rights of the Major Tenants under their respective Leases and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by the Major Tenants pursuant to their respective Leases that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from the Major Tenants, or to comply with Section 4.1.30 hereof, or (III) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property, or (IV) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (III) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder.

 

Section 9.5                                      Termination of Manager. If (a) the amounts evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1 (b) hereof, (b) the Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, or (d) Manager is not managing the Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the Property, then, in the case of (a), (b), (c) or (d), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event

 

70



 

that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.

 

Section 9.6                                      Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the Servicer) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the Servicing Agreement) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 9.7                                      Splitting the Loan. At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as Severing Documentation), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion. Lender hereby agrees to be responsible for all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional Loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 10.9                                Severability.

Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

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

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

 

Section 10.13                          Expenses; Indemnity.

 

(a)                                  Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement

(b)                                 BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS LENDER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, CLAIMS, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL FOR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING COMMENCED OR THREATENED, WHETHER OR NOT LENDER SHALL BE DESIGNATED A PARTY THERETO), THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST LENDER IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF (I) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER, OR ANY MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATION BY BORROWER CONTAINED IN, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, (II) THE USE OR INTENDED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN OR (III) ANY PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO LENDER HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISE FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ILLEGAL ACTS, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER.

PERMITTED TO PAY AND SATISFY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY LENDER.

 

Section 10.14                          Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

Section 10.15                          Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

Section 10.16                          No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)                                  Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)                                 This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

Section 10.17                          Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender through any media intended to reach the general public which refers solely to the Borrower or to the Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to Provided Information included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization.

 

76



 

Section 10.18                          Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or sale of the Property by power of sale, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 10.19                          Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

 

Section 10.20                          Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.21                          Brokers and Financial Advisors. BORROWER HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS DEALT WITH NO FINANCIAL ADVISORS, BROKERS, UNDERWRITERS, PLACEMENT AGENTS, AGENTS OR FINDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN INLAND MORTGAGE CORP. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LENDER’S REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM A CLAIM BY ANY PERSON THAT SUCH PERSON ACTED ON BEHALF OF BORROWER OR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE

 

77



 

PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.21 SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PAYMENT OF THE DEBT.

 

Section 10.22                          Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements or understandings among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated November 23, 2004 between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.23                          Transfer of Loan. In the event that Lender transfers the Loan, Borrower shall continue to make payments at the place set forth in the Note until such time that Borrower is notified in writing by Lender that payments are to be made at another place.

SALE OF THE PROPERTY

1.1.2                        The land is more particularly described in Exhibit A-l and A-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Real Property includes all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to all leases, tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances, beneficial easements and rights of way in any way appertaining, belonging, or incident thereto, all of Seller’s rights in adjacent avenues, streets, and alleys, open or proposed, and all strips and gores as well as all of Seller’s rights in machinery, fixtures, and equipment (to the extent the same constitutes real property and is not part of the Personal Property) used or useful in the operation, maintenance, ownership, or use thereof, together with all modifications, substitutions, deletions, and additions thereto from and after the date hereof and through and including Closing (as defined in Section 5.5);

1.1.4              “Contracts” means collectively all written contracts and agreements pertaining to the Property, and not cancelable on thirty (30) days notice without penalty or premium, including, but not limited to: (i) all management leasing, construction, architectural, maintenance, operating and service contracts, (ii) all equipment leases and all rights and options of Seller thereunder relating to equipment or property located in or upon the Property or used in connection therewith, and (iii) guarantees and warranties in effect with respect to the Property or any portion thereof.

1.3.                              Amount and Payment of Purchase Price.

 

Subject to all the terms and conditions hereof, and in particular Section 1.4 hereof, the purchase price (“Purchase Price”) shall be Twenty One Million Nine Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($21,980,000.00). The Purchase Price shall be allocated Thirteen Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,100,000.) to Irmo and Eight Million Eight Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars ($8,880,000.) to Evans. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

 

1.3.1.                          Concurrently with execution of this Agreement by Seller, Buyer shall deposit Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Article 8. hereof. The term “Deposit” shall mean all sums deposited with Escrow Agent hereunder. At Closing, the Deposit shall, at Purchaser’s option, be credited against the Purchase Price or returned to Purchaser. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Deposit shall be non-refundable after the expiration of the Evaluation Period.

 

1.3.2.                          The full Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of Seller at Closing.

 

1.4.                              Adjustments to Purchase Price.

 

Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a schedule identifying those stores, by Suite Number, which are not under lease at Evans and Irmo as of the Effective Date, and a stipulated value assigned to each unleased store. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of such unleased stores have not been leased for a term of at least three (3) years and at base rents per square foot at least equal to the amounts set forth on Exhibit B for each store with (i) all tenant improvements required thereunder completed and paid for, (ii) all leasing commissions due in connection therewith paid in full, (iii) a certificate of occupancy having been issued for such space, and (iv) the tenant thereunder is, open for business and paying at least the amount of Base Rent stipulated in Exhibit B for the space in question, plus the tenant’s pro rate share of common area maintenance, taxes and insurance, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the stipulated

value assigned to each such unleased store. For example, if Suite 7 in Evans is unleased as of the Closing Date, then that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to Evans shall be reduced by $51,888.00. then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the stipulated value assigned to each such unleased store. For example, if Suite 7 in Evans is unleased as of the Closing Date, then that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to Evans shall be reduced by $51,888.00. –If, at Closing, there is a fully executed lease on one or more of the stores shown on Exhibit B, and such lease or leases meet all of the requirements of this Section 14 except that one or more of the requirements set forth in subsections. 14 (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) have not been satisfied (such leases are herein called “Non-Conforming Leases”), then the amount by which the Purchase Price is so reduced shall be deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent. If, within twelve (12) months following Closing, all of the requirements of subsections 14 (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) have been satisfied for any Non-Conforming Lease, then the Purchaser shall so notify the Escrow Agent and the Seller in writing, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall immediately pay over to Seller the amount of the escrow deposit attributed to the Non-Conforming Lease or Leases in question. If, within twelve (12) months following Closing, all of the requirements of subsections 14 (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) have not been satisfied for any Non-Conforming Lease, then the Purchaser shall so notify the Escrow Agent and the Seller, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall immediately pay over to Purchaser the amount of the escrow deposit attributed to the Non-Conforming Lease or Leases in question.

 

ARTICLE 2

EVALUATION PERIOD; ACTIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING

 

2.1.                              Evaluation Period; Tests.

 

Buyer shall have a period commencing with the date of this Agreement, which shall be the date upon which the last of Buyer and Seller have executed this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and terminating at 6:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the thirtieth (30) day thereafter (the “Evaluation Period”) to make and conduct any and all investigations (including but not limited to investigations of the matters pertaining to the Property which are disclosed, by reference or otherwise, in this Agreement and its Exhibits), tests, engineering evaluations, economic feasibility evaluations, design evaluations, review of all financial and property-related information, review of County real estate taxes, building code and zoning records pertaining to the Property, and any other tests, studies, or evaluations which Buyer may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable in order to evaluate the Property, and to review the leases of portions of the Property (“Leases”) and the suitability of the Property for Buyer’s purposes. In the event that Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, determine that the Property (and the terms and conditions of the Leases) are suitable for Buyer’s purposes, then Buyer may, by giving written notice (“Notice to Proceed”) to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period, elect to proceed with this Agreement. All studies and tests made or conducted by or for Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1.

The parties agree to cooperate in good faith in effecting such a final reconciliation and each party shall promptly pay (or reimburse the other party for) any expenses item that is chargeable to the other party and shall promptly remit any income item to the other party if entitled thereto. Seller covenants that it shall retain the financial ability to make such adjustments.

 

6.2.3.                       Seller shall use its best efforts to arrange for the rendition of final bills by the utility companies involved as of Closing (excluding, however, any bills for utilities consumed by an individual tenant if such tenant is obligated by its lease to pay separately for the utilities consumed by it), but in the event such final bills cannot be rendered or obtained by Closing, final adjustments shall be made within sixty (60) days after Closing.

 

6.2.4.                       Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, rent in arrears for months prior to Closing shall not be prorated. Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller any rental received by Buyer attributable to rents in arrears as of Closing (and Buyer shall apply any rental received to the most current rental due and owing when such payment was made). Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect back rent due Seller, but shall not be required to file suit or to evict delinquent tenants. Within ninety (90) days after Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written report setting forth the status of its collection of delinquent rents as of sixty (60) days after Closing. The terms of this Section 6.2.4 shall survive Closing.

 

6.2.5.                       The apportionment of percentage rental, if any, payable under any of the Leases (“Percentage Rent”) (and the amounts due Buyer and Seller respectively under each of the Leases with respect thereto) shall be made and paid on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date when the last amount due on account of such Percentage Rent shall have been paid by the tenant under its Lease with respect to the percentage rent lease year (as defined in each of the Leases) in which the Closing occurs. The amount to be apportioned shall be the total of the amounts collected by both Buyer and Seller as percentage rent for such percentage rent lease year. Seller’s portion thereof shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total percentage rent for the applicable percentage rent lease year as the number of days up to and including the date of Closing in such percentage rent lease year shall bear to the full number of days in such percentage rent lease year; and Buyer shall be entitled to the remaining portion. Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause all Percentage Rent payments for the percentage rent lease years with respect to which percentage rent is to be apportioned between Buyer and Seller to be paid to Buyer by all tenants under the Leases; and Buyer shall divide and distribute the amounts so collected between Buyer and Seller in accordance with the provisions hereof. Each of Seller and Buyer shall deliver to the other (promptly after receipt) copies of all sales reports received by it from tenants under the Leases for the percentage rent lease years in which the date of Closing occurs.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2.5., it is understood and agreed that if, at the time of Buyer’s receipt of percentage rent from a particular tenant, such tenant is in arrears for all or any portion if its 2005 pass-through charges (the “Pass Through Charge Arrearage”) then the Seller shall only be entitled to receive its portion of that amount of

 

14



 

the percentage rent payment which exceeds the amount of the Pass-Through Charge Arrearage. If, on or before December 31, 2005, such tenant subsequently remits to Buyer the amount of the Pass-Through Charge Arrearage, then Buyer will pay to Seller the Seller’s remaining portion of the percentage rent payment withheld as aforesaid.

 

6.2.6.                     Seller shall be deemed to have retained and reserved to itself at Closing all claims against tenants or former tenants or their bankrupt estates for arrearages under any of the Leases existing at Closing or under any prior leases. The claims retained and reserved to Seller pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2.6 shall be limited to claims and actions for the collection of money, and at no time shall Seller have the right after the completion of Closing to seek ejectment of a tenant under any of the Leases or termination of a Lease.

 

6.3.                              Security Deposits.

 

At Closing Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the total sum of all tenant security deposits paid by tenants under the Leases.

 

6.4.                              Survival of Closing.

 

The obligations of Seller and Buyer in this Article 6, shall survive Closing.

 

ARTICLE 7
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

 

7.1.                              Casualty.

 

7.1.1.                        Subject to the provisions of this Article 7, risk of loss or damage to the Real Property from fire or other casualty shall remain on Seller until Closing.

 

7.1.2.                        If any of the improvements included in the Real Property shall be destroyed or damaged prior to the Closing, and if either the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.), or the damage permits the termination of one or more of the Leases or, except to the extent affected by the matters described in Exhibit K, causes loss of parking or access, Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from Seller of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of all parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect, and the Deposit shall forthwith be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1.2, or has no right to terminate this Agreement (because the damage or destruction does not exceed $500,000.00 and does not permit the termination of one or more of the Leases), or there is no loss of parking or access other than such as results from the matters described in Exhibit K hereof, and the sale of the Property is consummated, Purchaser shall receive an assignment of all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller by reason of such destruction or damage under Seller’s insurance policies (less amounts of insurance theretofore received and applied by Seller to costs actually incurred for restoration), together with a credit in the amount of Seller’s deductible. Seller shall not settle or release any damage or destruction claims without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent in each case. All said insurance proceeds received by Seller by the date of Closing shall be paid by Seller to Buyer at Closing. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall pay over to Buyer and assign to Buyer, all proceeds of any rent loss insurance for the period of time commencing on the date of Closing. If the amount of said casualty or rent loss

 

15



 

insurance proceeds is not settled by the date or Closing, Seller shall execute at Closing all proofs of loss, assignments of claim, and other similar instruments in order that Buyer receive all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and under said insurance proceeds.

 

7.2.                              Condemnation.

 

If, on or prior to the Closing, any portion of the Property except as set forth on Exhibit I is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received notice that any condemnation action or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Buyer immediate written notice of such threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and Buyer may by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Buyer chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect. If Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Buyer all of the right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Buyer shall not have elected to terminate this Agreement as hereinabove provided, Purchase shall be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Buyer were a party to the action. Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent thereto in each case.

 

ARTICLE 8

8.2.                              Duties of Escrow Agent.

 

Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit, as received, in a federally insured account in a bank or other financial institution as directed by Buyer in the name of Escrow Agent as escrow agent. Escrow Agent shall have the right to disburse the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any interest earned on the deposit shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent as directed by the Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any party on account of Escrow Agent’s failure to disburse the Deposit if a dispute shall have arisen with respect to the propriety of such disbursement; and, in the event of any dispute as to who is entitled to receive the Deposit the Escrow Agent may disburse it in accordance with the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or may deposit the Deposit with such a court pending a final decision of such controversy (and any reasonable attorney’s fees or legal costs paid or incurred by Escrow Agent shall be out-of-pocket disbursements for which the parties shall be liable to reimburse

 

16



 

Escrow Agent). The parties hereto further expressly agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for failure of any depository and shall be otherwise liable only in the event of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1.          Brokerage.

 

Seller and Buyer represent and warrant to each other that neither has dealt with a broker in connection with this transaction except as set forth below. Seller and Buyer each warrant and represent to the other that, except as set forth below, no agent, broker, or finder has acted for the warranting party in connection with this Agreement or is entitled to compensation on account of the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller acknowledges that it has utilized the services of Trammell Crow Company in connection with this transaction, and shall pay all brokerage commissions for the services of Trammell Crow Company. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing hereof and any termination hereof.

 

9.2.          Remedies Upon Default.

 

9.2.1.                           Buyer and Seller agree that it would be impracticable and difficult to ascertain the actual damages which would be suffered by Seller if Buyer wrongfully fails to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated herein. Buyer and Seller have carefully considered the loss to Seller occasioned by taking the Property off the market as a consequence of the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Seller’s performance hereunder, and the other damages, general and special, which Buyer and Seller realize and recognize Seller will sustain but which cannot be calculated with certainty. Based on all those considerations, Buyer and Seller have agreed that the damage to Seller from an uncured breach by Buyer of its obligation to complete Closing would reasonably be expected to equal the amount of the Deposit. Accordingly, if all conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions herein contemplated have been waived by Buyer or satisfied, but Buyer does not timely complete Closing, and if Buyer fails to cure such breach or default within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Seller, the Seller shall as its sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to be paid, and to retain, the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages. Thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations to each other under this Agreement, either at law or in equity or otherwise, except that the obligations of Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1.1(c)(ii) shall continue in full force and effect.

 

9.2.2.                           If all conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations to consummate the transactions herein contemplated have been waived by Seller or satisfied and if Buyer has materially performed its covenants and obligations and is not otherwise in material default hereunder, but Seller has breached its covenants, warranties, representations, agreements, undertakings, or obligations or is otherwise in default hereunder and, as a result, is unable to consummate the

 

17



 

purchase and sale contemplated herein at Closing and if Seller fails to cure such breach or default within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Buyer, or if all conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions herein contemplated have not been waived by Buyer or satisfied, then the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer shall be either to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of termination, in which event the Deposit shall be forthwith returned to Buyer, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations to each other under this Agreement, either at law or in equity or otherwise, or to waive such breach, failure to satisfy condition(s) precedent or default and bring an action against Seller for specific performance of its obligations hereunder to sell and convey the Property to Buyer.

 

9.3.          Indemnification.

 

9.3.1.                       Buyer and Seller each agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all claims, demands, debts, dues, liabilities, actions, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be asserted against or paid or incurred by the indemnified party for, on account of, or in connection with any breach by the indemnifying party of its payment obligations and/or warranties and representations contained in Section 9.1.

 

9.3.2.                       The indemnity contained in this Section 9.3 shall survive Closing or any sooner termination of this Agreement.

 

9.4.          Amendment.

 

This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or discharged, and no provision hereof may be waived, except by an instrument in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, or waiver is sought.

 

9.5.          Notices.

 

All notices, waivers, approvals, consents, demands, requests, or other communications (collectively, “Notices”) which may be or are required to be given, served, or sent by any party hereto to the other party hereto pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered, sent by Federal Express, or similar overnight service, or mailed by first class, registered, or certified mail, return receipt requested, or transmitted by telegram, telex, or telecopy, addressed as follows:

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

19



 

9.9.          Waiver.

 

Neither the waiver by either of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of either of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights, or privileges hereunder.

 

9.10.        Construction.

 

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they both participated equally in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that, accordingly, no court construing this Agreement shall construe it more stringently against one of such parties than against the other.

 

9.11.        Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement, including the Exhibits which are an integral part hereof, constitutes the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and it supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, commitments, or understandings with respect to the matters provided for herein. No agreements, representations, or warranties have been made by Buyer or Seller except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and in particular, no oral or written expression, or non-verbal conduct of a person intended by such person as a substitute for oral or written expression, will be attributed to Buyer or Seller as an agreement or a warranty or representation, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall survive Closing or a termination of this Agreement.

 

9.12.        Pronouns.

 

All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or entity may require.

 

9.13.        Headings.

 

Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.

 

9.14.        Applicable Law.

 

This Agreement shall be given effect and construed by application of the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

9.15.        Covenant Against Recording.

 

This Agreement shall not be recorded in any public record, and neither party shall cause to be recorded a notice of the existence of this Agreement, or any other writing asserting an interest in the Property prior to the Closing. Any recordation in violation of this Section 9.15 shall relieve the non-recording party from any further obligation, and shall entitle that party to resort to the remedies provided in Section 9.2.

 

9.16.        Computation of Time.

 

In computing any time for giving Notices or other period of time prescribed or allowed by any provision of this Agreement, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated

The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notice or other periods expire as of 5:00 p.m., eastern standard time on the last day of the notice or other period.

9.19.        Condition of Property.

 

Except as explicitly otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Property shall be conveyed to Buyer “AS IS, WHERE IS”, without any representation or warranty of title or conditions of the Property, either express or implied.

 

9.20.        Withholding on Sales of Real Property

 

Seller is hereby advising Buyer that South Carolina law and Georgia law will require Buyer to withhold from the sales proceeds an amount equal to state income taxes from the sale of the Property, and to remit the withheld amount to the applicable state taxing authorities unless the Seller can qualify as a “deemed resident” of the state in question. Seller and Buyer will cooperate with each other to assure that the withholding requirements, if any, of each state are complied with.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the 25th day of January, 2005, by and among 1001674 ONTARIO, INC. and 1001675 ONTARIO, INC., each being a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, and each having an office at 101 McNabb Street, Markham, Ontario L3R 4H8 (individually and collectively, the “Seller”), and INLAND REAL ESTATE ACQUISTIONS, INC., a corporation governed by the laws of the State of Illinois (the “Purchaser”), having an office at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523.

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, 1001674 Ontario, Inc. is the only owner of registered title to the parcel of land described on Schedule “1” attached hereto and the buildings and improvements located thereon (such land, buildings and improvements being collectively referred to herein as the “Property”) and 1001675 Ontario, Inc. is the only owner of beneficial title to the Property; and

 

WHEREAS, Seller’s affiliate, Amex Canada Inc., currently leases the Property from Seller (the “Current Lease”); and

 

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser now desire to enter into an agreement whereby, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, (i) Seller agrees to sell the Property to Purchaser or its affiliated assignee and Purchaser’s affiliated assignee shall purchase the Property from Seller and (ii) Amex Canada Inc. shall lease the Property from Purchaser’s affiliated assignee commencing immediately upon closing of such purchase; and

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser intends to assign this Agreement (subject to Section 21 hereof) to its affiliate, Inland Western Markham Corp., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of New Brunswick (“Purchaser’s Designee”); and

 

WHEREAS, on December 16, 2004, Seller’s affiliates, IDS Property Casualty Insurance Company, FRC West Property, L.L.C. and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., as seller, and Purchaser, as purchaser, entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement for various properties located in the United States of America (the “US Properties PSA”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of ten ($10.00) dollars and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.           SALE OF PROPERTY.

 

Seller agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Property.

 

2.             PURCHASE PRICE.

 

(1)                 The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is Forty Two Million and No/100 ($42,000,000.00) Dollars payable at the Closing by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to

 



 

Seller’s account or to the account or accounts of such other party or parties as may be designated by Seller on or at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date. Any payment made by wire transfer shall not be deemed to have been made until confirmed as received by Seller’s bank and credited to Seller’s account.

 

(2)                                  If there shall be any real property tax or assessment appeals with respect to the period prior to Closing allocable to the Property, Seller may, at its option, and at its sole cost and expense, continue the prosecution of such appeals and take related action which Seller reasonably deems appropriate in connection therewith. Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to be present at any hearings in connection with such proceedings with respect to the 2004 calendar year real property taxes. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in connection with such proceedings and appeals and collection of any refund, credit or rebate of real property taxes paid relating to the time period prior to the Closing, but shall not be obligated to incur any expense as a result thereof. With respect to the period prior to Closing, Seller owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to such real property tax and tax assessment appeals and all rebates, credits or refunds, and all amounts payable in connection therewith or resulting from any statutory or legislative change shall be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities. With respect to the period prior to Closing, if such refund, rebate or credit or any part thereof is received by Purchaser, or otherwise credited to Purchaser or to the tax roll for the Property, Purchaser shall promptly pay such amount to Seller unless Purchaser or the lessor under the Lease is obligated to pay such amount to the tenant under the Lease. Purchaser agrees that it shall make available to Seller copies of all correspondence and other documentation relating to the reassessment of real property taxes relating to the Property, which comes into the possession or control of Purchaser subsequent to the Closing and relates to realty taxes for the period prior to the Closing.

 

The provisions of this Section 2(2) shall survive the Closing.

 

(3)                                  Purchaser shall forthwith restore any damage to the Property resulting from any audits, inspections or tests performed for or on behalf of Purchaser at the Property.

 

3.             APPORTIONMENTS.

 

Insofar as Seller’s affiliate and Purchaser’s Designee will be entering into an absolutely net and carefree Lease at the Closing with respect to the Property, there shall not be any apportionments or adjustments between Seller or Purchaser with respect to income and expenses for the Property. The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.             CLOSING DATE/ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION.

 

(1)                                  The delivery of the Deed and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, Toronto, Ontario (the “Seller’s Solicitors”) at 10 a.m.

 

2



 

local time on or about January 25, 2005 (the “Closing Date”), Time shall be of the essence with respect to the obligations of Purchaser to close the sale contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date and execute and deliver a Lease for the Property on the Closing Date. The parties agree that with respect to ancillary closing documents (i.e., all documents to be delivered at Closing pursuant to this Agreement except the Lease, the SNDA, the estoppel, the Notice of Lease, the Deed and any other closing documents that the parties hereto agree to record) required to be delivered on the Closing Date, executed facsimile copies of such ancillary closing documents shall be acceptable; provided that originals of such ancillary closing documents shall be delivered within two (2) business days after the Closing Date.

 

(2)                                  In the event that the electronic registration system (hereinafter referred to as “TERS”) is operative in the applicable Land Registry Office in which the Property is registered, the following provisions shall prevail, namely:

 

(a)           the Purchaser shall be obliged to retain a lawyer in good standing with the Law Society of Upper Canada to represent the Purchaser in connection with the completion of this transaction, and shall authorize and instruct such lawyer to enter into an escrow closing agreement with the Seller’s Solicitors on the latter’s standard form (hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Registration Agreement”), establishing the procedures and timing for completing this transaction;

 

(b)           the delivery and exchange of documents and monies and the release thereof to the Seller and the Purchaser, as the case may be:

 

(i)            shall not occur contemporaneously with the registration of the Transfer/Deed; and

 

(ii)           shall be governed by the Escrow Registration Agreement, pursuant to which the solicitor receiving the documents and/or certified funds will be required to hold the same in escrow, and will not be entitled to release the same except in strict accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Registration Agreement.

 

5.                                       PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES. Subject to Purchaser’s review in accordance with Section 6(1) below, Seller shall convey and Purchaser shall accept title to the Property subject to those instruments, documents and matters set forth on Schedule “2” annexed hereto and made a part hereof (collectively the “Permitted Encumbrances”); provided, however, that upon the request of either party hereto, Schedule 2 may be revised after the execution of this Agreement so long as any subsequent revisions to the Permitted Encumbrances schedule (i) are to include items of the same type and category as those items set forth on Schedule 2 attached to this Agreement as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, (ii) are reasonably acceptable to both parties, (iii) do not create any encroachments or violate any restrictions of record or covenants of record for the applicable Property(ies) other than encroachments with respect to which Title Company has agreed to insure over or restrictions of record or covenants of record that do not interfere with the use or enjoyment of the Property and for which the Title Company has

 

3



 

agreed to issue a “Comprehensive 1 Endorsement” or a “Restrictions Endorsement”, in either event confirming “no violations”, and (iv) do not occur after the Closing Date.

 

6.             TITLE.

 

(1)                                  (i)                                     Prior to the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has received (x) a title commitment and the related underlying documents (together, “Title Commitment”) for the Property from the Title Company and (y) a survey as more particularly described on Schedule 2 as item 1(f) (the “Survey”, together with the Title Commitment, the “Title Items”). Purchaser has provided Seller with a notice of Purchaser’s comments and objections to the Title Items (a “Title Objection Letter”). Purchaser and Seller have, and shall continue, in good faith, to address Purchaser’s comments and attempt to eliminate Purchaser’s objections as contained in the Title Objection Letter.

 

(ii)                                  In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller have not, to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, addressed Purchaser’s comments and/or eliminated Purchaser’s objections to the Title Items as contained in the Title Objection Letter, or (y) Purchaser receives an updated Title Commitment which indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances, or other defects or exceptions in or to title to the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances and those identified on the initial Title Items (collectively, the “Unacceptable Encumbrances”), subject to which Purchaser is unwilling to accept title, then provided Purchaser gives Seller notice of the same within one (1) business day after receipt of such updated Title Item, Seller shall undertake to eliminate such Unacceptable Encumbrances. Purchaser hereby waives any right Purchaser may have to advance as objections to title or as grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction any Unacceptable Encumbrance with respect to which Purchaser has not notified Seller prior to the Closing (failure to so notify Seller shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of its right to raise such Unacceptable Encumbrance as an objection to title or as a ground for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction). Seller, in its sole discretion, may adjourn the Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order to attempt, in good faith, to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and shall also use its reasonable good faith efforts to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser so that Purchaser may obtain title insurance from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”); provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to spend any money to satisfy any conditions for the Title Company that Seller would not have been required to satisfy for LandAmerica and in no event shall extensions of time be granted in this Section 6(1) for new searches or commitments that duplicate what is made available to Purchaser by LandAmerica. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all fees due to the Title Company and to LandAmerica have been paid in full.

(2)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Title Item objected to by Purchaser or Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Title Items or Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Property; except that Seller shall (A) either (i) satisfy or (ii) cause a reputable title company to insure over (it being agreed that Purchaser shall be required to accept such “cure” from any reputable title company agreeing to insure over such matter) (x) mortgages voluntarily imposed by Seller, (y) judgments against Seller or (z) other liens voluntarily imposed by Seller (excluding mechanic’s liens) (collectively, “Voluntary Liens”) secured by or affecting the Property which can be satisfied by payment of liquidated amounts and (B) with respect to (x) judgments as to which Seller is disputing or contesting, and (y) liens not voluntarily imposed by Seller (collectively, “Involuntary Liens”) affecting the Property which can be satisfied by payment of liquidated amounts, Seller shall be obligated to spend, with respect to the Property, an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) two (2%) percent of the Purchase Price or (ii) $500,000.00 to satisfy or cause a reputable title company to insure over (it being agreed that Purchaser shall be required to accept such “cure” from any reputable title company agreeing to insure over such matter) such Involuntary Lien. Without limiting the generality of the preceding provisions of this Section 6(2), for the purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 6(1) and 17(1)), Seller’s failure or refusal to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or to otherwise incur any expense (except for Seller’s obligation to satisfy or cause a reputable title insurance company to insure over such Voluntary Liens and Involuntary Liens as aforesaid) in order to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser or to arrange for such title insurance shall not be a default by Seller hereunder (willful or otherwise) and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any damages in connection therewith. Further, if Purchaser elects not to close the transaction solely due to Seller’s failure to cure or cause a reputable title company to insure over any Voluntary Liens or Involuntary Liens as aforesaid, such failure shall not be a default by Seller hereunder, however, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with this Agreement in an amount that, when aggregated with the reasonable third party costs to which the “Purchaser” under the US Properties PSA would be entitled under Section 6(2) of that agreement, does not exceed $100,000. With respect to any Involuntary Lien, Seller shall not be permitted to elect to reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with this Agreement in lieu of Seller’s obligation to attempt to cure an Involuntary Lien as aforesaid, provided, however, if Seller, in its reasonable opinion reasonably exercised, believes that the expenditure of the lesser of (i) two (2%) percent of the Purchase Price or (ii) $500,000, will not “cure” such Involuntary Lien, then Seller shall not be obligated to expend such sums, and Seller shall remain liable to reimburse Purchaser for its actual reasonable third party costs in an amount that, when aggregated with the reasonable third party costs to which the “Purchaser” under the US Properties PSA would be entitled under Section 6(2) of that agreement, does not exceed $100,000. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be liable for any damages, cost and/or expenses, including,

 

5



 

without limitation, damages suffered by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s affiliates resulting from, or in any way related to, the expiration of Purchaser’s “rate lock”, which the parties acknowledge expired on December 17, 2004. With respect to mechanic’s liens, Seller shall address mechanic’s liens as provided for in the Lease.

 

(3)                                  If on the Closing Date there are any Liens or other encumbrances, subject to Sections 6(2) and 6(5), which Seller must pay or discharge in order to convey to Purchaser such title as is herein provided to be conveyed, Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided:

 

(i)            Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or the Title Company at the Closing, instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy such Liens or other encumbrances of record together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments; or

 

(ii)           Seller, having made arrangements with the Title Company, shall deposit with said company sufficient monies acceptable to said company to insure the obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions; and

 

(iii)                The existence of any such Liens or other encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements.

 

(4)                                  If on the Closing Date there shall be security interests filed against the Purchaser under the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) specifically referencing the Property, the same shall not constitute objections to title provided Seller executes and delivers an officer’s certificate to the effect either (i) that the personal property (as defined in the Lease) covered by said security interests is no longer in or on the Property, or (ii) if such personal property is still in or on the Property, that it has either (x) been fully paid for, (y) is not the personal property of Seller or (z) would qualify as “Lessee’s Equipment or Personalty” under the Lease.

 

(5)                                  In the event that a discharge of any mortgage or charge held by a Chartered Bank, Trust Company, Credit Union or Insurance Company and which is not to be assumed by the Purchaser on completion, is not available in registrable form on Closing, the Purchaser agrees to accept the Seller’s Solicitor’s personal undertaking to obtain, out of the closing funds, a discharge or cessation of charge in registrable form and to register same on title within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days) after completion, provided that on or before Closing the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser a mortgage statement prepared by the mortgagee setting out the balance required to obtain the discharge together with a direction executed by the Seller directing payment to the mortgagee of the amount required to obtain the discharge out of the balance due on completion.

 

7.             PROPERTY NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that any alterations at, on or in any of the Property that (i) are readily removable without unrepaired damage to the Property, (ii) do not reduce the value, economic life or utility of the Property if removed, (iii) are not integral to the structure or operation of the Property, and (iv) are not required for the lawful occupancy of the

Property shall not be included in the Property to be sold to Purchaser hereunder. In addition, Seller’s Equipment and Personalty as described on Exhibit “B”, attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall also not be included in the Property to be sold to Purchaser hereunder. Seller shall assign to Amex Canada Inc. at Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the property described above in this paragraph (including but not limited to Seller’s Equipment and Personalty described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto) as not being sold to Purchaser hereunder.

that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result of any of Seller’s representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if Purchaser knew that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing and Purchaser nevertheless closes title hereunder.

Purchaser has the corporate power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted, to own or hold its assets, to own or hold the Property or to lease the Property, as the case may be, and to enter into and perform its obligations under all documents to which it is or is to become a party. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where the failure to also qualify would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under all documents to which it is a party.

 

2.                                       Each of the documents to which Purchaser is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary (i) corporate or (ii) trust action, executed and delivered to Seller, and performance thereof by Purchaser will not,

3.                                       All Governmental Action required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of all of the documents to which it is a party, has been or will have been obtained, given or made, including, without limitation, obtaining all approvals from any federal or state bank regulatory authorities.

6.                                       Purchaser (including for the purposes of this Section 8(8)(6), any entity that is directly or indirectly 15% or more owned by Purchaser or as to which Purchaser directly or indirectly has the right to vote 15% or more of the voting securities thereof) is not a Significant Competitor (as defined in the Lease) of Seller, and no entity that directly or indirectly has a 15% or greater interest in Purchaser is a Significant Competitor (as defined in the Lease) of Seller.

 

7.                                       Purchaser is neither the legal nor beneficial owner of any real property adjoining any part of the Property.

 

(9)                                  If at or prior to the Closing, (A) Seller shall become aware (whether through its own efforts, by notice from Purchaser or otherwise) that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Purchaser are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect and shall give Purchaser notice thereof at or prior to the Closing, or (B) Purchaser shall notify Seller that a representation or warranty made herein by Purchaser is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, then Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect by notice to Seller to adjourn the Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order to cure or correct such untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representation or warranty. If any such representation or warranty is materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, and is not cured or corrected by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date (whether or not the Closing is adjourned as provided above), then Seller, as its sole remedy for any and all such

 

13



 

materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect material representations or warranties, shall elect either (x) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of warranties and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby without any adjustment of the Purchase Price, or (y) if such misrepresentation is specific to a Property (as opposed to being applicable to all Property), to delete such Property from this Agreement and to reduce the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Property or (z) if such misrepresentation is not specific to a Property, to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Purchaser on the Closing Date, in which event, this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations. Seller acknowledges and agrees that (a) at or prior to the Closing, Seller’s rights and remedies in the event any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect shall be only as provided in this Section 8, and (b) if the Closing does not occur by virtue of such breach, Seller hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases all other rights or remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to seek damages from Purchaser) as a result of any of Purchaser’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect. If Seller elects to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby after receipt of notice of the breach then Seller shall be deemed to have waived such misrepresentation or breach of warranty and there shall be no adjustment in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall not use Purchaser’s breach as a basis for delaying or refusing to proceed to Closing.

 

(10)         Seller represents to Purchaser, as of the date of this Agreement, that Seller has no right, after the Closing, to re-purchase the Property, or any portion thereof, from Purchaser. Purchaser represents to Seller, as of the date of this Agreement, that Purchaser has no right, after the Closing, to require Seller to re-purchase the Property.

The representations and warranties (whether express or implied) of Purchaser set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall remain operative and shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Deed for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, and no action or claim based thereon shall be commenced after such period.

If (i) Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, (ii) Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement but such election is ineffective because Seller elects to repair such damage and completes such repair within such 90-day period provided above, or (iii) there is damage to or destruction of an “immaterial” part (“immaterial” is herein deemed to be any damage or destruction which is not “material”, as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Property, Purchaser shall close title as provided in this Agreement and, at the Closing, Seller shall, unless Seller has repaired such damage or destruction prior to the Closing, apply the proceeds of any insurance collected by Seller in accordance with the terms of the Lease. A “material” part of the Property shall be deemed to have been damaged or destroyed if the cost of repair or replacement shall be $250,000 or more as reasonably estimated by Seller or if Tenant can terminate its Lease or abate rent thereunder, or the Property cannot be legally occupied. This provision shall not survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

 

(2)                                  If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any “significant” portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Property is taken by eminent domain or expropriation (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated) (in each case, a “Taking”), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such Taking and Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, or if a Taking involves an “insignificant” portion (“insignificant” is herein deemed to be any taking which is not “significant”, as such term is herein defined) of the Property, at the Closing Seller shall assign and turn over, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for such Taking. A “significant” portion of the Property means a Taking of twenty percent 20% or more of the Property or if Tenant can terminate its Lease or abate rent thereunder, or the Property cannot be legally occupied. This provision shall not survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

 

(3)                                  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 16(1) and Section 16(2) to the contrary, if this Agreement is not terminated as provided in Section 16(1) or Section 16(2) and the eminent domain or expropriation proceeds payable with respect to the Property as a result of any Taking exceeds the Purchase Price in Section 2(1) of this Agreement, Seller’s obligation to pay over to Purchaser those proceeds paid to Seller prior to the Closing shall be limited to the Purchase Price and Seller shall be entitled to retain the remainder of such proceeds. To the extent that payment of all or any portion of such proceeds does not occur prior to the Closing, the parties agree that Seller shall be entitled to that portion of the proceeds in excess of the Purchase Price, which agreement shall survive the Closing. To the extent that no proceeds are due to Seller in connection with Section 16(1) and Section 16(2), this Section 16(3) shall not survive the Closing.

17.           REMEDIES.

 

(1)                                  If the Closing fails to occur and such failure to close is on account of (i) Seller not eliminating all Unacceptable Encumbrances (which failure to eliminate is due to circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control and is not due to Seller’s willful bad faith hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required to bring any action or proceeding or make any payments or otherwise incur any expenses in order to eliminate any Unacceptable Encumbrances other than as set forth in Section 6(2)), not waived by Purchaser, or, in lieu thereof, arranging for title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Property, then after five (5) business days written notice from Purchaser and any additional time as is necessary so as to afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to cure, then Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such failure of Seller, may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(1), then upon notice to Seller, this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for those rights, obligations and liabilities which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement in the event that no Closing occurs hereunder (the “Termination Obligations”). Except as set forth in this Section 17(1), Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity or otherwise by reason of Seller not eliminating all Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by Purchaser, or, in lieu thereof, arranging for title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Property.

 

(2)                                  A.            If the Closing fails to occur and such failure to close is on account of Seller’s breach of its performance obligations under this Agreement and is in a case where such failure and close is not covered in Section 17(1) above, then after five (5) business days written notice from Purchaser and any additional time as is necessary so as to afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to cure, then Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such breach of Seller’s performance obligations hereunder, may elect to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller; or (ii) seek specific performance from Seller, provided that in no event shall Seller be obligated to spend more than the lesser of (A) two (2%) percent of the Purchase Price or (B)$500,000 (including, but not limited to, legal fees) to perform hereunder; provided further, that where Purchaser has elected to terminate the Agreement and where (and only in such instances where) Seller’s failure is willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser will be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to the lesser of (a) $2,000,000 or (b) an amount between zero dollars and $2,000,000 which, when aggregated with the damages for the “Seller’s” willful and bad faith failure to which the “Purchaser” under the US Properties PSA would be entitled under Section 17(2)A of that agreement, would not cause such aggregated amount to exceed $5,000,000; and provided further, that where Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement and where (and only in such instances where) Seller’s failure is not willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to an amount between zero dollars and $2,000,000 which, when

 

24



 

aggregated with the damages for the “Seller’s” failure that is not willful and not in bad faith to which the “Purchaser” under the US Properties PSA would be entitled under Section 17(2)A of that agreement, would not cause such aggregated amount to exceed $2,000,000.

 

B.            As a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance as the result of Seller’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser must commence such an action by filing a Complaint within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such default. Purchaser agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(2), then this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Termination Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser may pursue any rights or remedies it may have against Seller with respect to the Termination Obligations subject to the express damages limits set forth in Section 17(2)A above.

 

(3)                                  If the Closing fails to occur by reason of Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, then Seller as its sole remedy, may elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to Purchaser, or (ii) seek specific performance from Purchaser, and (1) where (and only in such instances where) Purchaser’s failure is willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to an amount between zero dollars and $5,000,000 which, when aggregated with the damages for the “Purchaser’s” willful and bad faith failure to which the “Seller” under the US Properties PSA would be entitled under Section 17(3)(1) of that agreement, would not cause such aggregated amount to exceed $5,000,000 or (2) where Purchaser’s failure is not willful and in bad faith according to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of its damages up to an amount between zero dollars and $2,000,000 which, when aggregated with the damages for the “Purchaser’s” failure that is not willful and not in bad faith to which the “Seller” under the US Properties PSA would be entitled under Section 17(3)(2) of that agreement, would not cause such aggregated amount to exceed $2,000,000. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17(3), then upon notice to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be terminated, and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Termination Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict Seller’s ability to pursue any rights or remedies it may have against Purchaser with respect to the Termination Obligations subject to the express damages limits set forth in this Section 17(3).

 

(4)                                  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL ASSERT AND EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

 

25



 

(5)           The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

19.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

20.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

21.           ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without the express written consent of Seller, which consent Seller shall have right to withhold or grant in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be entitled, upon giving prior written notice to Seller, to assign its rights under this Agreement to Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”); provided that the REIT, and any entity owned or controlled by the REIT and any entity that has a 15% or greater interest in the REIT is not a Significant Competitor, as defined in the Lease. The entity to whom Purchaser assigns this Agreement as permitted by this Section 21, whether Purchaser’s Designee or otherwise, shall become the “Purchaser” under this Agreement, but such an assignment and assumption shall not relieve Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. of the obligations of the “Purchaser” under this Agreement.

 

22.                                 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

23.                                 NOTICES.

24.           PROPERTY INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

(1)                                  Purchaser agrees that, prior to the Closing, all Property Information shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, be

 

27



 

disclosed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than evaluating the Property. Moreover, Purchaser agrees that, prior to the Closing, the Property Information will be transmitted only to Purchaser’s Representatives who need to know the Property Information for the purpose of evaluating the Property, and who are informed by the Purchaser of the confidential nature of the Property Information. The provisions of this Section 24(1) shall in no event apply to Property Information which is a matter of public record and shall not prevent Purchaser from complying with any law, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, provided that prior to Purchaser disclosing any Property Information as set forth in this sentence, Purchaser shall notify, and consult with, Seller regarding such disclosure. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives of the provisions of this Section 24(1).

 

(2)                                  Purchaser and Seller, for the benefit of each other, hereby agree that between the date hereof and the Closing Date, they will not release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, publicity (oral or written), advertising or promotional materials relating to, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. It is understood that the foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, subject to the terms of Section 24(1), with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, potential lenders or potential investors in a proposed Rule 144A offering, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto from complying with any law, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, or prevent either party from making any disclosure required to obtain any governmental consents or other third party consents that are required to be obtained prior to the Closing provided that prior to Purchaser releasing or otherwise disclosing any information as set forth in this sentence, Purchaser shall notify, and consult with, Seller regarding such release or disclosure. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Purchaser of the provisions of this Section 24(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may make disclosures (i) that Seller believes are desirable to its employees in explanation of this transaction and answering questions that Seller’s employees may raise and (ii) that Seller believes are necessary to make under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the filing of this Agreement as an exhibit to any filing required or otherwise necessary under such act). Further, Seller shall be entitled to issue a press release pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon (x) the signing of this Agreement and (y) the closing of

 

28



 

transactions contemplated hereby (or any one of them); provided that Seller shall give Purchaser an opportunity to review such press release(s) before same are issued.

 

(3)                                In the event this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall either (i) promptly deliver to Seller all originals and copies of the Property Information referred to in clause (i) of Section 24(4) in the possession of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives or (ii) confirm in writing that such Property Information has been destroyed, at Purchaser’s expense. In the event Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives fail to comply with the preceding sentence within ten (10) business days after this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser shall pay Seller $10,000 for each day after the tenth business day that Seller has not received materially all Property Information and/or the confirmation of destruction, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all losses, damages and claims arising from Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Representatives’ failure.

 

(4)                                As used in this Agreement, the term “Property Information” shall mean (i) all information and documents in any way relating to the Property, the operation thereof, the sale thereof or the leasing thereof furnished to, or otherwise made available for review by, Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, partners, brokers, agents or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers and financial advisors (collectively, “Purchaser’s Representatives”), by Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates, or their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, and (ii) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives containing or based, in whole or in part, on the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Property.

 

(5)                                In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 24.

 

(6)                                Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall continue to abide by that certain letter agreement regarding confidentiality between American Express Company and Purchaser, dated as of January 5, 2005.

 

(7)                                The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

 

25.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(1)           This Agreement shall not be altered, amended, changed, waived, terminated or otherwise modified in any respect or particular, and no consent or approval required pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party to be charged.

 

29



 

(2)           This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is an agreement solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser (and their permitted successors and/or assigns). No other person, party or entity shall have any rights hereunder nor shall any other person, party or entity be entitled to rely upon the terms, covenants and provisions contained herein. The provisions of this Section 25(2) shall survive the Closing.

 

(3)           All prior statements, understandings, representations and agreements between the parties, oral or written, are superseded by and merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between them in connection with this transaction and which is entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement, understanding, representation or agreement made by the other not embodied in this Agreement or in the Lease. This Agreement shall be given a fair and reasonable construction in accordance with the intentions of the parties hereto, and without regard to or aid of canons requiring construction against Seller or the party drafting this Agreement.

 

(4)           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Purchaser’s acceptance of the Deed shall be deemed a discharge of all of the obligations of Seller hereunder and all of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall merge in the documents and agreements executed at the Closing and shall not survive the Closing.

 

(5)           Purchaser agrees that it does not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner, principal, parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Seller, including, without limitation, American Express Company, or any of Seller’s affiliates which is a party to the US Properties PSA, or any officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner or principal of any such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to look solely to Seller and the Property for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to sue or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Seller’s Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 25(5), Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all claims and causes of action of any nature whatsoever it may now or hereafter have against Seller’s Affiliates, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges Seller’s Affiliates from any and all liability whatsoever which may now or hereafter accrue in favor of Purchaser against Seller’s Affiliates, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 25(5) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

 

(6)           Seller and Purchaser agree that, wherever this Agreement provides that either Seller or Purchaser must send or give any notice, make an election or take some

 

30



 

other action within a specific time period in order to exercise a right or remedy it may have hereunder, time shall be of the essence with respect to the taking of such action, and if either Seller or Purchaser fails to take such action within the applicable time period such failure shall be deemed to be an irrevocable waiver by that Seller or Purchaser of such right or remedy.

 

(7)           No failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right or remedy given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified herein for exercise of such right or remedy has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercises thereof or any other right or remedy. No waiver by either party of any breach hereunder or failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, failure or refusal to so comply.

 

(8)           Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum thereof shall be recorded and any attempted recordation hereof shall be void and shall constitute a default.

 

(9)           Delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed an offer and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any rights or obligations hereunder unless and until both parties have signed and delivered an original of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

(10)         Each of the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and attached hereto is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

(11)         The caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not intended to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be construed to modify, explain or alter any of the terms, covenants or conditions herein contained.

 

(12)         This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the Laws of Canada applicable therein without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

(13)         If any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid, the same shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be severable. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (i) any provision of this Agreement is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part, (ii) the opportunity for all appeals of such determination have expired, and (iii) such unenforceability or invalidity alters the substance of this Agreement (taken as a whole) so as to deny either party, in a material way, the realization of the intended benefit of its bargain, such party may terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the final determination by notice to the other. If such party so elects to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations, and subject to Section 24(3).

 

31



 

(14)         Seller and Purchaser hereby knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, unconditionally and irrevocably waive any right each may have to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether arising in tort or contract) brought by either against the other on any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or any other document executed and delivered by either party in connection herewith (including any action to rescind or cancel this agreement on the grounds that this agreement was fraudulently induced or is otherwise void or voidable).

 

(15)         INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

(16)         Purchaser acknowledges that a default by the Seller’s Affiliate under the Lease shall not give rise to any remedies under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right to receive back all or any portion of the Purchase Price.

 

(17)         To the extent that under the Lease, Seller’s Affiliate, as lessee (“Lessee”), incurs damages (including but not limited to fees and expenses of legal counsel) under the title representation contained in Section 20.1(1) of the Lease and Purchaser, as lessor, under the Lease (“Lessor”) would be entitled to pursue a claim with respect to such matter under the title policy received in connection with the Closing (without waiving any of its rights under such policy except for a reduction in the policy amount), Lessor shall pursue such claim under the title policy for the amount of the damages and shall remit to Lessee the amount of any such damages that Lessee has suffered, provided that (y) Lessee pays all of Lessor’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with Lessor’s pursuit of such claim and (z) Seller first pursues such claim under any existing title policy as the former owner. To the extent that the Title Company that issues the title policies in connection with the Closing pays any such claim made by Lessor, Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor against any damages resulting from the reduction of the title coverage under the Lessor’s title policy upon the payment of such claim. The provisions of this Section 25(17) shall survive Closing.

 

(18)         Any tender of documents or money may be made upon the Seller or the Purchaser or upon their respective solicitors.

 

(19)         This Agreement is conditional on compliance with Section 50 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.

 

(20)         The Purchaser hereby waives compliance by the Seller with any applicable bulk sales legislation. The Seller agrees to indemnify and save the Purchaser harmless from all claims, suits, courses of action which any creditor may institute with respect to the Property pursuant to or arising out of non-compliance with such legislation.

 

(21)         All references herein to “Dollars” or the symbol “$” shall mean currency of the United States of America.

 

(22)         The following Sections shall survive the Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement as more particularly set forth in such Section: 2(2), 3, 8, 9, 10(3), 14, 15, 16(3), 17, 24, 25(2), 25(5), 25(19) and 25(20) (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”).

                Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, or (b) four percent (4%) above the Note Rate (such rate, the "Default Rate").  Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage.  This Article shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

 

Article 5 – PREPAYMENT

 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 5, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express written consent of Lender.

 

(a)            Voluntary Prepayment.  Borrower shall have no right to make, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of any other amount under this Note at any time.

 

(b)           Involuntary Prepayment Involuntary Prepayment.  In the event of any involuntary prepayment of any amount under this Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following Lender's acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and whether the Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of this Note by Borrower or any other person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the principal balance prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and, in the event the prepayment is made on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under this Note on the amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to Yield Maintenance together with, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the portion of the Loan being prepaid.

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the amount being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining term of this Note through and including the Optional Prepayment Date each equal to the amount of interest which would be due on the portion being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Optional Prepayment Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).

 

(c)           Insurance Proceeds and Awards; Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment to the Mortgagee by the Lender occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of insurance proceeds or awards pursuant to the terms of the loan documents between the Lender and the Mortgagee, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan.

 

Article 6 – USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

10



 

Article 7 – LATE PAYMENT CHARGE

 

If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower before the tenth (10th) day after the date the same is due (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable law), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided however, Borrower shall not be required to pay Lender a late charge in connection with the final payment under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

Article 8 – GOVERNING LAW

 

This Note shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and any applicable federal laws of Canada.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has duly executed this Note as of the day and year first above written.

(a)                                  Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under this Note as follows: an initial payment is due on the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs; and thereafter, except as may be adjusted in accordance with the last sentence of Section l(b), consecutive monthly installments of interest only in an amount calculated in accordance with Article 2 below (such amount, the “Monthly Payment Amount”) shall be payable pursuant to the terms hereof on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on March 1, 2005 (each such date through and including the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date and continuing on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Excess Cash (as defined in the Loan Agreement) until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, provided, however, the entire Debt, including all Accrued Interest (defined below), shall be due on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)                                 Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, NC 28265-0585, or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled

 



 

due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

 

(c)                                  Provided no Event of Default has occurred, (i) each Monthly Payment Amount made as scheduled on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Initial Note Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of this Note, and (ii) each payment of Excess Cash made as required on this Note shall be applied first to the reduction of the principal amount of this Note until paid in full, and the balance to Accrued Interest until paid in full. All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on this Note shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the remaining Principal Amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on this Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(d)                                 Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

Article 6 - SECURITY

 

This Note is secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

Article 7 - USURY SAVINGS

 

This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of this Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

4



 

under the loan. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e)                                  Borrower and such Inland Permitted Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest, extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

 

(f)                                    Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in such Inland Permitted Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(g)                                 such Inland Permitted Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of such Transferee.

With respect to the policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

 

(b)                                 All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.

Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respecl to the Property. Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

 

43



 

(c)                                  Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1 (a).

 

(d)                                 All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.l(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.l(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard Insurance Bureau of Canada mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(e)                                  All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)                                     no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)                                  the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

 

(iii)                               the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv)                              Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(f)                                    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Lender acknowledges that so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to obtain the insurance coverages set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) through (viii) if (x) Guarantor (or American Express if there is no Guarantor) is a self-insurer and maintains a rating issued by the Rating Agencies of not less than the Trigger Rating or (y) American Express maintains insurance with coverages and carriers in compliance with the terms of the American Express Lease.

Section 8.2.                                Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

 

Section 8.3.                                Expropriation

 

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Expropriation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Expropriation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the expropriating authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by an appropriating authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. So long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the payment and allocation of any Awards shall be governed by the American Express Lease.

 

Section 8.4.                                Restoration

 

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a)                                  If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

45



 

(b)                                 If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of an Expropriation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Expropriation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

(i)                                     The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

 

(A)                              no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(B)                                (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Expropriation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

 

(C)                                The American Express Lease shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of Rent;

 

(D)                               Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Expropriation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

(E)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Expropriation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;

 

(F)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.l(a)(iii);

 

(G)                                the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

 

46



 

(H)                               the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(I)                                    such Casualty or Expropriation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;

 

(J)                                   Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

 

(K)                               the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 

(ii)                                  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Business Interruption Proceeds required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.

 

(iii)                               All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

 

47



 

(iv)                              In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to the greater of:

 

(A)                              ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed and

 

(B)                                the amount of the owner’s holdback required to be maintained pursuant to the provisions of the Construction Lien Act (Ontario) as amended from time to time.

 

The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and evidence of compliance with the provisions of the Construction Lien Act (Ontario) and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v)                                 Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi)                              If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any

 

48



 

further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii)                           The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

 

(d)                                 In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no American Express Lease Default has occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be used for restoration of the Property in accordance with the provisions of the American Express Lease.

 

ARTICLE 9
REPLACEMENTS; RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 9.1.                                Replacements

 

On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property. So long as no American Express Lease Default shall have occurred, the compliance by American Express with its obligations for maintenance of the Property as set forth in the American Express Lease shall be deemed compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

 

49



 

Section 9.2.                                Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

 

If required by Lender following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

 

Section 9.3.                                Reserve Funds Generally

 

(a)                                  No earnings or interest on the Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account (i) the account shall be an Eligible Account, (ii) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (iii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

 

50



 

(b)                                 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all funds hereafter deposited therein as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

 

(c)                                  The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds deposited therein shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited therein subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds hereinafter deposited therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to such Reserve Account was made.

 

(e)                                  As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

 

(f)                                    The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender and Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

 

51



 

(g)                                 Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC and/or PPSA Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

 

(h)                                 Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.2.                         Deposits and Withdrawals

 

(a)                                  Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(i)                                     Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto addressed to American Express (the “Tenant Direction Letter”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon commencement of the Cash Management Period, Lender or Lender’s agent, shall have the right to deliver the Tenant Direction Letter to American Express and all payments of Rent and other items payable under the American Express Lease shall thereafter be sent directly to the Cash Management Account;

(iii)                               All Rents or other income from the Property received after the commencement of the Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default shall (A) be deemed additional security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the Cash Management Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

 

(iv)                              Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify the Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause American

 

53



 

Express to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter; and

 

(v)                                 So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, during the Cash Management Period or during the continuance of an Event of Default neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.

 

(b)                                 Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c)                                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or during a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

 

(i)                                     following a default by American Express under the American Express Lease, funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.2;

 

(ii)                                  funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

 

(iii)                               funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

 

(iv)                              funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually incurred) for the following month shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed to pay Operating Expenses;

 

(v)                                 funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in the Cash Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender to be applied to the principal amount of the Loan until the principal amount of the Loan is paid in full.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (v) above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any

 

54



 

default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document).

 

(e)                                  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers between any Reserve Account as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.3.  Security Interest

 

(a)                                  To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC and/or PPSA Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

 

(b)                                 Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral.  Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use the Accounts and the Account Collateral for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be

 

55



 

deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Accounts and the Account Collateral to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

(ix)                                following an Event of Default, the withholding from Rents by American Express of non-resident withholding taxes required under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as same may be amended, supplemented, superseded or replaced or as required by any rules or regulations promulgated by Canadian governmental authorities having jurisdiction.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Borrower Principal on a joint and several basis in the event (i) of a breach by Borrower or Borrower Principal of any of the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, to the extent that such breach is (A) material and (B) is not cured within fifteen (15) days of the earlier to occur of notice from Lender or Borrower’s knowledge of such breach, (ii) of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Article 7 hereof, (iii) the Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of Borrower, (iv) Borrower, Borrower Principal or any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower or Borrower Principal files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower under any Creditors Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower tiles an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under any Creditors Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; or (vi) any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property.

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Borrower Principal pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver

 

69



 

thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

Section 18.2.  Modification, Waiver in Writing

 

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

Section 18.4.  Trial by Jury

 

BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

Section 18.5.  Waiver of Notice

 

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

 

Section 18.6.  Remedies of Borrower

 

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

 

Section 18.7.  Waiver of Marshalling of Assets

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 18.8.  Waiver of Statute of Limitations

 

Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its Other Obligations.

All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

(c)                                  The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.  Borrower is not relying on Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.

 

(e)                                  By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.

 

(f)                                    Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part, of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement.

 

Section 20.8.  Publicity

 

All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, Lender, Banc of America Securities LLC, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld.

74



 

or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, Borrower Principal and their respective Affiliates without the approval of Borrower or any such Persons. Borrower also agrees that Lender may share any information pertaining to the Loan with Bank of America Corporation, including its bank subsidiaries, Banc of America Securities LLC and any other Affiliates of the foregoing, in connection with the sale or transfer of the Loan or any Participations and/or Securities created.

 

Section 20.9.  Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance

 

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

 

Section 20.10.  Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 20.11.  Interest Act (Canada)

 

Except as otherwise specified in the Note, all natural rates of interest referred to herein are based on a calendar year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Where a rate of interest hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “Deemed Year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the Deemed Year.

 

75



 

Section 20.12.  Maximum Interest Rate

 

(a)                                  To the extent applicable, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would oblige the borrower to make any payment of interest or any other payment which is construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted nunc pro tunc to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:

 

(i)                                     firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Note; and

 

(ii)                                  thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts which would constitute interest for the purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

 

(b)                                 if, after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, the Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by such clause, then such excess shall be applied by the Lender to the reduction of the principal balance of the Note and not to the payment of interest or if such excessive interest exceeds such principal balance, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles at an effective annual rate of interest over the term of this Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “Interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the term of this Agreement and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Lender shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

 

Section 20.13.  Judgment Currency

 

Any payment made by either party hereto (the “payor”) to the other (the “payee”) on account of any amount payable hereunder (the “payment obligation”) required to be made in a particular currency (the “original currency”), which payment is made in a currency (the “other currency”) other than the original currency (whether made voluntarily or pursuant to any judgment or order of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of the payor only to the extent of the amount of the original currency which may be purchased by the payee with such payment in the other currency on the date of payment thereof. If the amount of the original currency which may be so purchased is less than the amount of the payment obligation, the payor shall indemnify and save the payee harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. Such indemnity shall (a) constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations of the payor contained in this agreement; (b) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, and (c) shall

 

76



 

continue in full force and effect notwithstanding, and shall not be merged in, any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any other judgment or order.

PROJECT LOAN PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$761,773.00

 

Oak Brook, Illinois

 

 

December 7, 2004

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, INLAND WESTERN CORAM PLAZA, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of SKY BANK, with offices at The Times Building, Second Floor, 336 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 (hereinafter referred to as “Payee”), the principal sum of Seven Hundred Sixty One Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Three and No/100 Dollars ($761,773.00), or so much thereof as shall be advanced,

 



 

lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest from the date hereof, at the rate and on the terms set forth herein, as follows:

 

A.                                   RATE OF INTEREST.  All capitalized terms used in this Section A and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Sections C and D of this Note. From and including the Date of Closing and through and including the Maturity Date, this Note shall bear interest on the Principal Balance at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate (as hereinafter defined) plus two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) (hereinafter referred to as the “Interest Rate”), fixed for periods of one (1) month or three (3) months (hereinafter referred to as the “LIBOR Rate Periods”), as selected by Maker.  Interest at the Interest Rate shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Balance based on a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed per calendar month, and shall be calculated based on a year of 365 days.  The term “LIBOR Rate”, as used herein, shall mean the rate per annum identified in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal (northeastern edition) to be the LIBOR rate, applicable to the respective LIBOR Rate Period which has been selected by Maker.  In the event that the Wall Street Journal is no longer published or ceases to publish the LIBOR Rate, then Payee shall select a comparable replacement daily financial publication of national circulation to determine the LIBOR Rate.  Maker shall deliver to Payee, no later than two (2) business days prior to the expiration of a LIBOR Rate Period, written notice pursuant to which Maker shall select the one (1) month or three (3) month LIBOR Rate Period to follow the existing LIBOR Rate Period. Maker shall not be permitted to select a LIBOR Rate Period which extends beyond the Maturity Date.  In the event that Maker fails to select a LIBOR Rate Period prior to the expiration of an existing LIBOR Rate Period, then the succeeding LIBOR Rate Period shall be deemed to be the same LIBOR Rate Period as the expiring LIBOR Rate Period, unless such expiring LIBOR Rate period extends beyond the Maturity Date, in which case the succeeding LIBOR Rate period shall be the LIBOR Rate Period closest in duration to the expiring LIBOR Rate Period and which does not extend beyond the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue on the Principal Balance, at the Interest Rate, from and including the day immediately following the last day of the prior LIBOR Rate Period and through and including the last day of the selected LIBOR Rate Period.

 

Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Note to the contrary, the Interest Rate shall not, at any time during the term of this Note, be less than four and three quarters percent (4.75%).  In the event that sum of the LIBOR Rate plus two and one quarter percent (2.25%) is less than four and three quarters percent (4.75%), then for so long as such sum is less than four and three quarters percent (4.75%), the Interest Rate shall be four and three quarters percent (4.75%) per annum.

 

B.                                     TERMS OF PAYMENT.

 

1.                                       Monthly Installments.  Maker shall pay to Payee six (6) consecutive monthly payments consisting of: (i) a fixed principal payment in the amount of One Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Nine and 48/100 Dollars ($1,949.48), plus (ii) interest at the Interest Rate accrued on the Principal Balance (hereinafter individually referred to as “Monthly Installment” and collectively referred to as the “Monthly Installments”), which Monthly Installments shall be due, payable and paid

 

2



 

on January 1, 2005 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through and including May 1, 2005.

 

2.                                       Application of Payments.  All payments of Monthly Installments and any partial payment of any Monthly Installment shall be applied first to late fees and charges and any other charges due hereunder, then to interest and then to principal. This Note is one of three (3) promissory notes made or to be made by Maker in connection with loans in the aggregate amount of $20,760,000 to be made by Payee.  Such promissory notes (other than this Note), as they may be renewed or extended, are herein referred to as the “Other Facility Notes”.  All payments under this Note shall be aggregated with payments under the Other Facility Notes and shall be applied proportionately to the obligations under this Note and the Other Facility Notes.

 

C.                                     MATURITY.  The entire Principal Balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other unpaid sums, shall be due, payable and paid, without presentment or demand, on June 1, 2005 (referred to herein as the “Maturity Date”).

 

D.                                    DEFINITIONS.

 

1.                                       Principal Balance.  The term “Principal Balance”, as used herein, shall mean the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all other sums (excluding interest) required to be paid by Maker pursuant to the terms of this Note and the Mortgage (as that term is hereinafter defined).

 

2.                                       Date of Closing.  The term “Date of Closing”, as used herein, shall mean December 23, 2004.

 

E.                                      TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW.  Maker shall pay to Payee with each Monthly Installment, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual real estate taxes and assessments (if any) on the Mortgaged Property and an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual insurance premiums, as estimated by Payee, to be held by Payee in a non-interest bearing account for payment of said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums.

 

F.                                      PLACE OF PAYMENT.  The Monthly Installments and all other sums due hereunder and under the Mortgage shall be payable at Sky Bank, P.O.  Box 40, East Liverpool, Ohio 43920, or at such other place as Payee, from time to time may designate to Maker in writing, delivered to Maker at the address set forth in the Mortgage for notices to Maker.

 

G.                                     PREPAYMENT.  Maker shall have the right to prepay the Principal Balance, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of this Note, without penalty or premium; provided, however,  that any such prepayment is accompanied by payment of all interest accrued on the outstanding Principal Balance of this Note to the date of prepayment, and by payment of all other fees, costs and charges required to be paid by Maker to and for the benefit of Payee.

 

3



 

Payment of this Note is secured by the Project Loan Mortgage (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment), which Project Loan Mortgage encumbers the Mortgaged Property (as that term is defined in the Project Loan Assignment).  In addition to the Project Loan Mortgage, payment of this Note is secured by: (i) a first security interest in all furniture, fixtures, machinery, appliances, equipment and other personal property of Maker used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and Maker’s business conducted therein, as evidenced by the Financing Statements (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment) and (ii) a first assignment of all leases and rents relating to or arising out of the Mortgaged Property, as evidenced by the Project Loan Assignment (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment).

 

All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained in the Project Loan Mortgage, the Project Loan Assignment and the Financing Statements (collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”) which are to be kept and performed by Maker are hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein, and Maker covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

 

If any Monthly Installment or any other payment due hereunder shall not be paid, in immediately available and collectible funds, within ten (10) days of its due date, Maker shall pay to Payee a late charge of five cents ($.05) for each dollar of such amount so overdue.  It is further understood that the following defaults shall constitute events of default hereunder and are referred to herein as an “Event of Default” or “Events of Default”: (i) a default in the payment, in immediately available and collectible funds, of any Monthly Installment or any monetary sum due hereunder or under the Loan Documents and such default is not fully cured within ten (10) days from the date on which it shall fall due, (ii) a default in the performance of any of the non-monetary agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions or stipulations contained in this Note, or in the Loan Documents and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof, or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Other Facility Notes; provided, however, that if such default is not susceptible of being cured within thirty (30) days, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional time as Payee shall reasonably deem necessary for such cure, provided that Maker commences to cure such default during the original thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the curing thereof.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Mortgage, Payee, at its option and without notice to Maker, may declare immediately due and payable the entire Principal Balance with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate to the date of such Event of Default and thereafter at a rate three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate and all other sums due by Maker hereunder or under the Loan Documents, anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to Payee in this Note or in the Loan Documents.  In such case, Payee may also recover all costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith, together with reasonable attorney’s fees for collection, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Payee at a rate three percent (3%) per annum, in excess of the Interest Rate from and after the date of any Sheriff’s sale until actual payment is made by the Sheriff to Payee of the full amount due Payee.

 

4



 

The remedies of Payee as provided herein, or in the Loan Documents, and the warrants contained herein or in the Mortgage shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

To the extent permitted under applicable law, Maker hereby waives and releases all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, or of the Loan Documents, as well as all benefit that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting the Mortgaged Property, or any other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property from attachment, levy, or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued thereon may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

Maker and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, unless specifically required herein or in the Loan Documents, and they agree that the liability of each of them shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee.  Maker and all endorsers, sureties, and guarantors consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to the release of the collateral or any part thereof, with or without substitution and agree that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to them or affecting their liability hereunder.

 

Payee shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing.  A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.

 

If any term or provision of this Note or the application thereof to any person, property or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable as to the remainder of this Note, then the application of such term or provision to persons, properties and circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Note shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

5



 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or in the Loan Documents, the effective rate of interest on the obligation evidenced by this Note shall not exceed the lawful maximum rate of interest permitted to be paid.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the interest charged under this Note results in an effective rate of interest higher than that lawfully permitted to be paid, then such charges shall be reduced by the sum sufficient to result in an effective rate of interest no greater than the maximum effective rate of interest permitted by law and any amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate already received and held by the Payee shall be applied to a reduction of principal (without premium or penalty) and not to the payment of interest.

 

Part of the consideration for the loan evidenced by this Note is that the loan (i) is and shall be deemed made under, governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that the procedural laws of the State of New York shall apply to any action commenced by Payee in pursuit of its remedies hereunder or otherwise, as applicable, and (ii) is and shall be enforceable only in the State Courts of said Commonwealth with an action commenced in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, and/or in the Federal Courts of said Commonwealth with an action commenced in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that any action commenced by Payee in pursuit of its remedies hereunder or otherwise, shall be enforceable in the State Courts and/or Federal Courts of the State of New York, at Payee’s sole discretion.  Maker hereby waives any claim that Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an inconvenient forum and any claim that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note and commenced in the aforesaid Courts lacks proper venue.

 

Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders, the words “Payee” and “Maker” shall be deemed to include the respective successors and assigns of Payee and Maker.

 

The captions preceding the text of the paragraphs or subparagraphs of this Note are inserted only for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Note, nor shall they in any way affect its meaning, construction or effect.

Payment of this Note is secured by the Acquisition Loan Mortgage (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment), which Acquisition Loan Mortgage encumbers the Mortgaged Property (as that term is defined in the Acquisition Loan Assignment).  In addition to the Building Loan Mortgage, payment of this Note is secured by: (i) a first security interest in all furniture, fixtures, machinery, appliances, equipment and other personal property of Maker used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and Maker’s business conducted therein, as evidenced by the Financing Statements (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment) and (ii) a first assignment of all leases and rents relating to or arising out of the Mortgaged Property, as evidenced by the Acquisition Loan Assignment (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment).

 

All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained in the Acquisition Loan Mortgage, the Acquisition Loan Assignment and the Financing Statements (collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”) which are to be kept and performed by Maker are hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein, and Maker covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

 

If any Monthly Installment or any other payment due hereunder shall not be paid, in immediately available and collectible funds, within ten (10) days of its due date, Maker shall pay to Payee a late charge of five cents ($.05) for each dollar of such amount so overdue.  It is further understood that the following defaults shall constitute events of default hereunder and are referred to herein as an “Event of Default” or “Events of Default”: (i) a default in the payment, in immediately available and collectible funds, of any Monthly Installment or any monetary sum due hereunder or under the Loan Documents and such default is not fully cured within ten (10) days from the date on which it shall fall due, (ii) a default in the performance of any of the non-monetary agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions or stipulations contained in this Note, or in the Loan Documents and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof, or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Other Facility Notes; provided, however, that if such default is not susceptible of being cured within thirty (30) days, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional time as Payee shall reasonably deem necessary for such cure, provided that Maker commences to cure such default during the original thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the curing thereof.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Mortgage, Payee, at its option and without notice to Maker, may declare immediately due and payable the entire Principal Balance with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate to the date of such Event of Default and thereafter at a rate three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate and all other sums due by Maker hereunder or under the Loan Documents, anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to Payee in this Note or in the Loan Documents.  In such case, Payee may also recover all costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith, together with reasonable attorney’s fees for collection, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Payee at a rate three percent (3%) per annum, in excess

 

4



 

of the Interest Rate from and after the date of any Sheriff’s sale until actual payment is made by the Sheriff to Payee of the full amount due Payee.

 

The remedies of Payee as provided herein, or in the Loan Documents, and the warrants contained herein or in the Mortgage shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

To the extent permitted under applicable law, Maker hereby waives and releases all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, or of the Loan Documents, as well as all benefit that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting the Mortgaged Property, or any other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property from attachment, levy, or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued thereon may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

Maker and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, unless specifically required herein or in the Loan Documents, and they agree that the liability of each of them shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee.  Maker and all endorsers, sureties, and guarantors consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to the release of the collateral or any part thereof, with or without substitution and agree that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to them or affecting their liability hereunder.

 

Payee shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing.  A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.

 

If any term or provision of this Note or the application thereof to any person, property or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable as to the remainder of this Note, then the application of such term or provision to persons, properties and circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or

 

5



 

unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Note shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or in the Loan Documents, the effective rate of interest on the obligation evidenced by this Note shall not exceed the lawful maximum rate of interest permitted to be paid.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the interest charged under this Note results in an effective rate of interest higher than that lawfully permitted to be paid, then such charges shall be reduced by the sum sufficient to result in an effective rate of interest no greater than the maximum effective rate of interest permitted by law and any amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate already received and held by the Payee shall be applied to a reduction of principal (without premium or penalty) and not to the payment of interest.

 

Part of the consideration for the loan evidenced by this Note is that the loan (i) is and shall be deemed made under, governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that the procedural laws of the State of New York shall apply to any action commenced by Payee in pursuit of its remedies hereunder or otherwise, as applicable, and (ii) is and shall be enforceable only in the State Courts of said Commonwealth with an action commenced in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, and/or in the Federal Courts of said Commonwealth with an action commenced in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that any action commenced by Payee in pursuit of its remedies hereunder or otherwise, shall be enforceable in the State Courts and/or Federal Courts of the State of New York, at Payee’s sole discretion.  Maker hereby waives any claim that Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an inconvenient forum and any claim that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note and commenced in the aforesaid Courts lacks proper venue.

 

Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders, the words “Payee” and “Maker” shall be deemed to include the respective successors and assigns of Payee and Maker.

 

The captions preceding the text of the paragraphs or subparagraphs of this Note are inserted only for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Note, nor shall they in any way affect its meaning, construction or effect.

Payment of this Note is secured by the Building Loan Mortgage (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment), which Building Loan Mortgage encumbers the Mortgaged Property (as that term is defined in the Building Loan Assignment).  In addition to the Building Loan Mortgage, payment of this Note is secured by: (i) a first security interest in all furniture, fixtures, machinery, appliances, equipment and other personal property of Maker used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and Maker’s business conducted therein, as evidenced by the Financing Statements (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment) and (ii) a first assignment of all leases and rents relating to or arising out of the Mortgaged Property, as evidenced by the Building Loan Assignment (as that term is defined in the Loan Assignment).

 

All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained in the Building Loan Mortgage, the Building Loan Assignment and the Financing Statements (collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”) which are to be kept and performed by Maker are hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein, and Maker covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

 

If any Monthly Installment or any other payment due hereunder shall not be paid, in immediately available and collectible funds, within ten (10) days of its due date, Maker shall pay to Payee a late charge of five cents ($.05) for each dollar of such amount so overdue.  It is further understood that the following defaults shall constitute events of default hereunder and are referred to herein as an “Event of Default” or “Events of Default”: (i) a default in the payment, in immediately available and collectible funds, of any Monthly Installment or any monetary sum due hereunder or under the Loan Documents and such default is not fully cured within ten (10) days from the date on which it shall fall due, (ii) a default in the performance of any of the non-monetary agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions or stipulations contained in this Note, or in the Loan Documents and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof, or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Other Facility Notes; provided, however, that if such default is not susceptible of being cured within thirty (30) days, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional time as Payee shall reasonably deem necessary for such cure, provided that Maker commences to cure such default during the original thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the curing thereof.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Mortgage, Payee, at its option and without notice to Maker, may declare immediately due and payable the entire Principal Balance with interest accrued thereon at the Interest Rate to the date of such Event of Default and thereafter at a rate three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate and all other sums due by Maker hereunder or under the Loan Documents, anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; and payment thereof may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to Payee in this Note or in the Loan Documents.  In such case, Payee may also recover all costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith, together with reasonable attorney’s fees for collection, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Payee at a rate three percent (3%) per annum, in excess of the Interest Rate from and after the date of any Sheriffs sale until actual payment is made by the Sheriff to Payee of the full amount due Payee.

The remedies of Payee as provided herein, or in the Loan Documents, and the warrants contained herein or in the Mortgage shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

To the extent permitted under applicable law, Maker hereby waives and releases all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the terms of this Note, or of the Loan Documents, as well as all benefit that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting the Mortgaged Property, or any other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property from attachment, levy, or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued thereon may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

Maker and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereby jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, unless specifically required herein or in the Loan Documents, and they agree that the liability of each of them shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee.  Maker and all endorsers, sureties, and guarantors consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to the release of the collateral or any part thereof, with or without substitution and agree that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to them or affecting their liability hereunder.

 

Payee shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing.  A waiver on one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.

 

If any term or provision of this Note or the application thereof to any person, property or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable as to the remainder of this Note, then the application of such term or provision to persons, properties and circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Note shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Reference is made to that certain Consolidated, Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Consolidated Note”) of even date herewith in the principal amount of $20,755,300.00 executed by Borrower and payable to the order to Lender.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Consolidated Note.  This Note is one of the Existing Notes as defined in the Consolidated Note.  The Loan Amount shall bear interest prior to the Maturity Date at the rate or rates and shall be payable as set forth in the Consolidated Note.  This Note is secured by, inter alia, the Amended, Restated and Consolidated Mortgage and Security Agreement of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Lender and to be recorded in the County Clerk’s Office of Suffolk County, New York.

 

2.                                       No privilege is reserved by Borrower to prepay any principal of this Note prior to the Maturity Date, except in strict accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

3.                                       Borrower agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal sum evidenced hereby, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or applies any proceeds pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower waives any right to prepay said principal sum in whole or in part without premium and agrees to pay, as yield maintenance protection and not as a penalty, the Make Whole Premium.

 

Notwithstanding the above, in the event any proceeds from a casualty or Taking of the Premises are applied to reduce the principal balance hereof, such reduction shall be made without a Make Whole Premium, provided no Event of Default then exists under the Loan Documents.

 

4.                                       If any payment of principal, interest, Make Whole Premium, or other Indebtedness is not made when due, damages will be incurred by Lender, including additional expense in handling overdue payments, the amount of which is difficult and impractical to ascertain.  Borrower therefor agrees to pay, upon demand, the sum of four cents ($.04) for each one dollar ($1.00) of

 

1



 

each said payment which becomes overdue (“Late Charge”) as a reasonable estimate of the amount of said damages, subject, however, to the limitations contained in paragraph 6 hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the Late Charge assessed on any amount due on the Maturity Date but not then paid, whether or not by acceleration, shall not be four cents for each one dollar as described above, but shall instead be a sum equal to the interest which would have accrued on the principal balance then outstanding from the date the payment is made to the end of the month in which the Maturity Date occurs.  Such Late Charge shall be in addition to interest otherwise accruing under this Note.

 

5.                                       If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, the entire principal balance of the Loan, interest then accrued, and Make Whole Premium, and all other Indebtedness whether or not otherwise then due, shall at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without demand or notice, and whether or not Lender has exercised said option, interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance, interest then accrued, Make Whole Premium and any other Indebtedness then due, at a rate equal to the Default Rate until fully paid

 

6.                                       Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, no provision contained herein or therein which purports to obligate Borrower to pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, shall be effective to the extent it calls for the payment of any interest or other amount in excess of such maximum.  All agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand for payment or acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall, at the option of Lender, be refunded to Borrower or be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof, without a Make Whole Premium and not to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof such excess shall be refunded to Borrower.  This paragraph shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

 

7.                                       Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment, and agree the Maturity Date of this Note or any installment may be extended without affecting any liability hereunder, and further promise to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Lender in connection with any default or in any proceeding to interpret and/or enforce any provision of the Loan Documents.  No release of Borrower from liability hereunder shall release any other maker, endorser or guarantor hereof.

 

8.                                       This Note is secured by the Loan Documents creating among other things legal and valid encumbrances on and an assignment of all of Borrower’s interest in any Leases of the Premises

2.                                       No privilege is reserved by Borrower to prepay any principal of this Consolidated Note prior to the Maturity Date, except in strict accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

3.                                       Borrower agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal sum evidenced hereby, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or applies any proceeds pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower waives any right to prepay said principal sum in whole or in part without premium and agrees to pay, as yield maintenance protection and not as a penalty, the Make Whole Premium.

 

Notwithstanding the above, in the event any proceeds from a casualty or Taking of the Premises are applied to reduce the principal balance hereof, such reduction shall be made without a Make Whole Premium, provided no Event of Default then exists under the Loan Documents.

 

4.                                       If any payment of principal, interest, Make Whole Premium, or other Indebtedness is not made when due, damages will be incurred by Lender, including additional expense in handling overdue payments, the amount of which is difficult and impractical to ascertain.  Borrower therefor agrees to pay, upon demand, the sum of four cents ($.04) for each one dollar ($1.00) of each said payment which becomes overdue (“Late Charge”) as a reasonable estimate of the amount of said damages, subject, however, to the limitations contained in paragraph 6 hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the Late Charge assessed on any amount due on the Maturity Date but not then paid, whether or not by acceleration, shall not be four cents for each one dollar as described above, but shall instead be a sum equal to the interest which would have accrued on the principal balance then outstanding from the date the payment is made to the end of the month in which the Maturity Date occurs.  Such Late Charge shall be in addition to interest otherwise accruing under this Consolidated Note.

 

5.                                       If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, the entire principal balance of the Loan, interest then accrued, and Make Whole Premium, and all

other Indebtedness whether or not otherwise then due, shall at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without demand or notice, and whether or not Lender has exercised said option, interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance, interest then accrued, Make Whole Premium and any other Indebtedness then due, at a rate equal to the Default Rate until fully paid.

 

6.                                       Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, no provision contained herein or therein which purports to obligate Borrower to pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, shall be effective to the extent it calls for the payment of any interest or other amount in excess of such maximum.  All agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand for payment or acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall, at the option of Lender, be refunded to Borrower or be applied to the reduction of the principal hereof, without a Make Whole Premium and not to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. This paragraph shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

 

7.                                       Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment, and agree the Maturity Date of this Consolidated Note or any installment may be extended without affecting any liability hereunder, and further promise to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Lender in connection with any default or in any proceeding to interpret and/or enforce any provision of the Loan Documents.  No release of Borrower from liability hereunder shall release any other maker, endorser or guarantor hereof.

 

8.                                       This Note is secured by the Loan Documents creating among other things legal and valid encumbrances on and an assignment of all of Borrower’s interest in any Leases of the Premises located in the county of Suffolk, state of New York.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have those meanings given to them in the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE II
GENERAL TERMS

 

Section 2.1                                      Loan Commitment: Disbursement to Borrower: Prepayment.

 

(A)                              The Loan.  Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date, in the Loan Amount, which Loan will mature on the Maturity Date.

 

(B)                                Disbursement to Borrower.  Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing in respect of the Loan, which will not be subject to future advances and any amount borrowed and repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.  Borrower shall, on the Closing Date, receive the Loan Amount, subject to the direction given by Borrower as to the application of Loan proceeds.

 

(C)                                The Note and Other Loan Documents.  The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note (made in the Loan Amount) and evidenced or secured by the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection with the Loan.  The Note shall bear interest as provided in the Note, and shall be subject to the payment of interest and the repayment and prepayment of the Indebtedness as provided for herein.  The Note shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents given to further secure the Loan.

 

(D)                               Make Whole Premium In the event an Event of Default and acceleration occur, Borrower shall pay to Lender a “Make Whole Premium.” The Make Whole Premium shall be the greater of one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan or a premium calculated as provided in subparagraphs (i)-(iii) below:

(ii)                                  Calculate the “Present Value of the Loan.” The Present Value of the Loan is the present value of the payments to be made in accordance with the Note (all installment payments and any remaining payment due on the Maturity Date) discounted at the Reinvestment Yield for the number of months remaining from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date.

 

(iii)                               Subtract the amount of the prepaid proceeds from the Present Value of the Loan as of the date of prepayment.  Any resulting positive differential shall be the premium.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1(D) to the contrary, during the last 90 days prior to the Maturity Date, the Make Whole Premium shall not be subject to the one percent (1%) minimum and shall be calculated only as provided in (i) through (iii) above.

 

(E)                                 Loan Prepayment.

 

(i)                                     Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(E) (ii) below, Borrower shall not have the right or privilege to prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note until the date which is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date. From and after such date, provided there is no Event of Default, the principal balance of the Note may be prepaid, at par, in whole but not in part, upon: (a) not less than 15 days prior written notice to Lender specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made, which prepayment must occur no later than the fifth day of any such month unless Borrower pays to Lender all interest that would have accrued for the entire month in which the Note is prepaid absent such prepayment.  If prepayment occurs on a date other than a scheduled monthly payment date, Borrower shall make the scheduled monthly payment in accordance with the terms of the Note, regardless of any prepayment; (b) payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note to and including the date on which prepayment is to be made; and (c) payment of all other Indebtedness then due under the Loan Documents.  Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the principal balance of the Note unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith;

 

(ii)                                  In addition to the Loan Prepayment rights set forth in paragraph 2.1 (E)(i) hereinabove, after the Lock Out Date but prior to the date which is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower may prepay the principal balance of the Note, provided there is no Event of Default, in whole but not in part, upon (a) not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Lender specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made, which prepayment must

 

7



 

occur no later than the fifth day of any such month unless Borrower pays to Lender all interest that would have accrued for the entire month in which the Note is prepaid, absent such prepayment.  If prepayment occurs on a date other than a scheduled monthly payment date, Borrower shall make the scheduled monthly payment in accordance with the terms of the Note regardless of any prepayment; (b) payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note to and including the date on which prepayment is made, (c) payment of all other Indebtedness then due under the Loan Documents, and (d) payment of a Make Whole Premium.  Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the principal balance of the Note unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith.

(A)                              Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year for Borrower, detailed analytical financial reports for Borrower covering the full and complete operation of the Premises, prepared in accordance with the Approved Accounting Method, including, without limitation, a balance sheet, income and expense statements (including monthly income and expense amounts for each of the preceding twelve (12) months);

payment of: (i) the estimated taxes and assessments assessed or levied against the Premises, and (ii) the estimated premiums for insurance required by the Loan Documents, excluding commercial general liability insurance (collectively, the “Tax and Insurance Escrows”).  Lender shall use the Tax and Insurance Escrows to pay the taxes, assessments and premiums when the same become due.  Borrower agrees it is liable for any taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums identified as being paid for by Borrower on Lender’s written Tax and Insurance Escrow analysis previously provided to Borrower and Borrower agrees to make any such payments when the same become due.  Borrower shall procure and deliver to Lender, in advance, statements for such charges.  If the total payments made by Borrower under this Section exceed the amount of payments actually made by Lender for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, such excess shall be credited by Lender on subsequent deposits to be made by Borrower.  If, however, the Tax and Insurance Escrows are insufficient to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when the same shall be due and payable, Borrower will pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency, within five (5) business days before the date when payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums shall be due.

Section 5.5                                      Transfer of Loan by Lender.

 

(A)                              Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (each, as designated by Lender, a “Securitization Transaction”).  Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securitization Transaction or any Rating Agency (as hereinafter defined) rating such Securitization Transaction (collectively, the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor and the advisor of each of the foregoing, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Indebtedness and to Borrower, Guarantor, and the Premises, whether furnished by Borrower, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

If a successor manager is required pursuant hereto, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a successor manager acceptable to Lender in Lender’s reasonable discretion which successor manager shall be a reputable management company having at least seven (7) years’ experience in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as the Premises and in the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located and shall not be paid management fees in excess of fees which are market fees in the surrounding geographic area.

In connection with the Loan, the Borrower has also executed that certain Environmental Indemnity (“Environmental Indemnity”) and that certain Loan Agreement for the benefit of Lender (the Note, Environmental Indemnity, the Loan Agreement, Mortgage and Assignment of Leases and all other instruments or agreements by which the Loan is evidenced or secured are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Underlying Instruments”); and

 

It is a condition of Lender’s agreement to make the Loan that Guarantor be unconditionally liable for and personally guarantee the payment and performance of certain liabilities and obligations of the Borrower under the Underlying Instruments upon the terms and conditions as are hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor is financially interested in Borrower and is materially benefited by the consummation of the Loan and has agreed to unconditionally and personally guarantee the payment and performance of certain liabilities and obligations of Borrower under the Underlying Instruments upon the terms and conditions as are hereinafter set forth.

 

1



 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor intending to be legally bound, hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender and hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender as follows:

 

1.                                       Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Lender payment and the full, faithful and timely performance of any and all liabilities and obligations of Borrower whether now existing or hereafter incurred under the Environmental Indemnity and Paragraph 9 of the Note but excluding, specifically subparagraphs 9(d) through 9(k) thereof (all of which payments, liabilities and obligations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

 

2.                                       Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any payment, liability or obligation to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of such liabilities under this Guaranty or any of the Underlying Instruments creating the Guaranteed Obligations and any suit or taking other action by the Lender against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon or any property which may be security therefor.

 

3.                                       The Lender may at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, without incurring any responsibility to Guarantor and without impairing or releasing any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

 

(a)                                  renew, alter or change the interest rate, manner, time, place or terms of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, whereupon the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

 

(b)                                 sell, exchange, release, surrender, and in any manner and in any order realize upon or otherwise deal with any property at any time directly and absolutely assigned or pledged or mortgaged to secure the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

 

(c)                                  exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or any other person (including Guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting with regard to the Underlying Instruments, Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty;

 

(d)                                 settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability of Borrower (whether or not then due) to creditors of Borrower other than the Lender and Guarantor;

 

2



 

(e)                                  apply any sums in whatever manner paid or realized to any liability or liabilities of Borrower to the Lender regardless of what liability or liabilities of Borrower remain unpaid;

 

(f)                                    consent to or waive any breach of or any act, omission or default under the Underlying Instruments or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of such instruments or agreements; and/or

 

(g)                                 sell, convey or assign, whether into a securitized transaction or otherwise, all or any part of Lender’s interest in this Guaranty and the Underlying Instruments.

 

4.                                       (a)                                  No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Underlying Instruments, the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, or of any security therefor, shall affect, impair or constitute a defense to this Guaranty.  This Guaranty is a direct and primary obligation of Guarantor, and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are not as a surety.  This is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely a guaranty of collection.

 

(b)                                 Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty and Guarantor’s obligations with respect to payments and performance under the Environmental Indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the fact that the Note and payments due under the other Underlying Instruments have been paid in full.

 

5.                                       (a)                                  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor will not assert or exercise any right of the Lender or of such Guarantor against Borrower to recover the amount of any payment made by such Guarantor to the Lender by way of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or otherwise arising by contract or operation of law, and Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of Borrower, whether or not the obligations of Borrower have been satisfied, all of such rights being herein expressly waived by Guarantor.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Guaranty, and any satisfaction and discharge of Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any applicable law.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a), Guarantor shall have and be entitled to all rights of subrogation otherwise provided by applicable law in respect of any payment Guarantor may make or be obligated to make under this Guaranty, and to assert and enforce the same, in each case on and after, but at no time prior to, the date (the “Subrogation Trigger Date”) which is 91 days after the date on which all obligations under the Underlying Instruments shall have been paid or performed in full, if and only if the existence of Guarantor’s rights under this Section 5(b) would not make Guarantor a creditor (as defined in the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, an amended, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq., and the regulations adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto) of Borrower in any

 

3



 

insolvency bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding commenced on or prior to the Subrogation Trigger Date.

 

(c)                                  In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums with respect to any obligation hereby guaranteed or in the event that for any reason whatsoever the Borrower or any subsequent owner of the collateral securing the Loan is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that the amount of such sums and of such Indebtedness together with all interest thereon, shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, time of payment and in all other respects, to all sums, including principal, interest and other Indebtedness, at any time owing to the Lender under any of the Underlying Instruments.  Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give to Guarantor any right to participate in any way in the right, title or interest of the Lender in or to the collateral securing the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, all such rights of participation being hereby expressly waived and released.

 

6.                                       Guarantor agrees that to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required, for any of the foregoing reasons or for any other reasons, to be repaid or paid over to a custodian, trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made.

 

7.                                       Guarantor makes the following representations and warranties which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty:

 

(a)                                  Guarantor is and, until the Indebtedness is paid in full, will continue to (i) be a duly organized and validly existing entity in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, (ii) be duly qualified as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary or desirable, (iii) have the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, (iv) have the requisite power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty, and (v) comply with the provisions of all of its organizational documents, and the Legal Requirements of the state of its formation.

 

(b)                                 The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty (i) are within the applicable powers of Guarantor; (ii) have been authorized by all requisite action; (iii) have received all necessary approvals and consents, corporate, governmental or otherwise; (iv) does not and will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under any provision of law, any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership, operating or trust agreement, or other governing instrument of Guarantor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument

 

4



 

to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets is or may be bound or affected; (v) does not and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever upon any of Guarantor’s assets; and (vi) does not and will not require any authorization or license from, or any filing with, any governmental authority or other body.

 

(c)                                  This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

8.                                       Guarantor and Borrower are separate and distinct entities with no identity of interest with respect to any Indebtedness which may become owed or any payments which may be made hereunder.  Borrower is not contractually bound to Guarantor with respect to any payments hereafter made under this Guaranty in any manner which would have the effect of imputing the liability of Guarantor hereunder to Borrower.

 

9.                                       Guarantor is related and/or affiliated with Borrower, has personal knowledge of and is familiar with Borrower’s business affairs, books and records and has the ability to influence Borrower’s financial decisions.  Guarantor represents that Borrower is in sound financial condition as of the date of this Guaranty.

 

10.                                 Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect the lien or priority of the Mortgage, and upon the occurrence of an Event of a Default, the Lender may invoke any remedies it may have under the Underlying Instruments, or this Guaranty, either concurrently or successively and the exercise of any one or more of such remedies shall not be deemed an exhaustion of such remedy or remedies or a waiver of any other remedy or remedies and shall not be deemed an election of remedies.  Guarantor hereby specifically waives any defense to its performance under this Guaranty based upon an election of remedies by Lender, including but not limited to an election to foreclose by nonjudicial sale under any deed of trust, or security agreement and pursue any other remedy which destroys, lessens or otherwise affects Guarantor’s subrogation rights and/or its rights to reimbursement from or to proceed against Borrower or any other person, when resulting from the judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure (under any deed of trust, or security agreement) or the selling or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying any property, real or personal, securing the Note, or otherwise.  The exercise by the Lender of any such remedies shall not release or discharge Guarantor from its obligations hereunder unless and until the full amount of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured as aforesaid has been fully paid and satisfied, and any such release or discharge shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(b) hereof.

 

11.                                 This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until all obligations of the Borrower under the Underlying Instruments have been satisfied in full and are no longer subject to disgorgement under any applicable state or federal creditor rights or bankruptcy laws.  No delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any options, powers or rights, or the partial or

 

5



 

single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver of any rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Guaranty, shall be deemed to be made by the Lender unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of the Lender, and each such waiver (if any) shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to the Lender in any other respect at any other time. This Guaranty and the rights and obligations of the Lender and of Guarantor hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles and this Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor, Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors or assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors or assigns.

 

12.                                 Guarantor acknowledges that copies of the Underlying Instruments have been made available to Guarantor and that Guarantor is familiar with their contents. Guarantor affirmatively agrees that upon any Permitted Transfer effected in accordance with the provisions of the Underlying Instruments, it shall not be necessary for Guarantor to reaffirm its continuing obligations under this Guaranty, but Guarantor will do so upon request by Lender; provided, however, in the event a Permitted Transfer under items (ii) or (vi) of the Permitted Transfers occurs in compliance with the terms and conditions stated in the Mortgage, then Borrower may provide a substitute guarantor, acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, to assume the obligations of Guarantor under terms and conditions acceptable to Lender. Lender’s approval of the substitute guarantor shall be deemed granted so long as such substitute guarantor is a Qualified Successor.

 

13.                                 AFTER CONSULTING WITH COUNSEL AND CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, GUARANTOR AND LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BY WHICH THIS GUARANTY IS, OR MAY HEREAFTER BE, SECURED, OR OUT OF ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF GUARANTOR OR LENDER. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY.

 

14.                                 Each notice, consent, request or other communication under this Guaranty (each a “Notice”) which any party hereto may desire or be required to give to the other shall be deemed to be adequate and sufficient notice if given in writing and service is made by either (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, in which case such notice shall be deemed to have been received three (3) business days following deposit to U.S. mail; or (ii) nationally recognized overnight air courier, next day delivery, prepaid, in which case such notice shall be deemed to have been received one (1) business day following delivery to such nationally recognized overnight air courier. All Notices shall be addressed to Guarantor at its address given on the first page hereof, or to Lender at c/o Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC, 801 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50392-1450, Attn:

 

6



 

Commercial Real Estate Servicing, Loan No. 754183, or to such other place as any party may by notice in writing to the other parties designate as a place for service of notice.

 

15.                                 Each Guarantor (if more than one) whose signature appears below shall be deemed to be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations, whether each signature was affixed at the same or different times, and the term “Guarantor” as used herein shall be deemed to refer to each individually, as well as collectively, and each of the undersigned shall be jointly and severally liable for the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, both personally and with recourse, irrespective of the recourse or non-recourse nature of the Underlying Instruments. Guarantor agrees that if this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for enforcement, Guarantor will reimburse Lender all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees.

 

16.                                 This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; and such counterparts when taken together shall constitute but one agreement.

 

17.                                 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Underlying Instruments.

 

18.                                 Guarantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that this Guaranty is an instrument for the payment of money, and hereby consents that Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a default by Guarantor in the payment of any of the moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion and/or action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first set forth above.
