The information set forth under Items 2.01 and 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Property Acquisition

As previously disclosed, on June 29, 2011 (the “Note Acquisition Date”), TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through TNP SRT Constitution Trail, LLC (“TNP SRT Constitution”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s operating partnership, acquired an indirect interest in three distressed mortgage loans from M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, a Wisconsin state-chartered bank (the “Mortgage Lender”), in the original aggregate principal amount of $42,467,593 (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”). The Mortgage Loans were made in favor of Constitution Trail, LLC, an unaffiliated third party borrower (the “Borrower”), and were secured by a multi-tenant retail center located in Normal, Illinois, a suburb of Bloomington, Illinois, commonly known as the Constitution Trail Centre (the “Constitution Trail Property”). The Borrower was in default under the Mortgage Loans as of the Note Acquisition Date. On June 29, 2011, TNP SRT Constitution took over the foreclosure proceedings against the Borrower which were previously begun by the Mortgage Lender.

On October 21, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), TNP SRT Constitution acquired fee title to the Constitution Trail Property pursuant to a consent foreclosure proceeding. In connection with TNP SRT Constitution’s acquisition of the Constitution Trail Property, TNP SRT Constitution acquired a mortgage loan (the “Constitution Trail Loan”) from TL DOF III Holding Corporation, an unaffiliated third party lender (the “Constitution Trail Lender”), evidenced by a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $15,543,696 (the “Constitution Trail Note”). The Constitution Trail Loan is secured by the Constitution Trail Property. For additional information on the terms of the Constitution Trail Loan, see Item 2.03 below.

Management of Property

On the Closing Date, TNP SRT Constitution and TNP Property Manager, LLC (the “Property Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, entered into a Property and Asset Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which TNP SRT Constitution engaged the Property Manager to supervise, manage, lease, operate and maintain the Constitution Trail Property. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, TNP SRT Constitution will pay the Property Manager an annual management fee (the “Management Fee”), payable in monthly installments, equal to 5.0% of Gross Revenue (as defined in the Management Agreement). In addition, upon a sale of the Constitution Trail Property, TNP SRT Constitution will pay the Property Manager an amount equal to one monthly installment of the Management Fee as compensation for work to be performed by the Property Manager in connection with the sale and/or completion of managing matters relating to the tenants of the Constitution Trail Property.

The material terms of the Management Agreement described herein are qualified in their entirety by the Management Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Termination of Existing Loan

As previously disclosed, TNP SRT Constitution financed a portion of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans with the proceeds of a loan from the Constitution Trail Lender evidenced by a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $15,300,000 (the “Original Note”). The Original Note was issued pursuant to a Credit Agreement between the Constitution Trail Lender and TNP SRT Constitution (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided that if TNP SRT Constitution acquired fee title to the Constitution Trail Property by reason of foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, TNP SRT Constitution and the


Constitution Trail Lender would enter into mortgage loan documents evidencing a new mortgage loan, secured by the Constitution Trail Property, from Constitution Trail Lender to TNP SRT Constitution on similar terms. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, TNP SRT Constitution and the Constitution Trail Lender (i) terminated the Credit Agreement, (ii) cancelled the Original Note and (iii) entered into mortgage loan documents evidencing a new mortgage loan secured by the Constitution Trail Property, as described below.

Constitution Trail Property Loan

On the Closing Date, TNP SRT Constitution borrowed $15,543,696 from the Constitution Trail Lender pursuant to the Constitution Trail Note. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Constitution Trail Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in full on October 31, 2014. The Constitution Trail Loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, with interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum payable monthly during the term of the Constitution Trail Loan and interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum accruing monthly during the term of the Constitution Trail Loan (to be added to the principal amount of the Constitution Trail Loan). After the occurrence of and during the continuance of any event of default under the Constitution Trail Note, the Mortgage (as defined below) or any of the other documents related to the Constitution Trail Loan (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), the Constitution Trail Loan will bear interest at a rate of 20.0% per annum. TNP SRT Constitution will pay the Constitution Trail Lender a late fee in the amount of 5.0% of any amount payable by TNP SRT Constitution under the Constitution Trail Note that is more than five days past due.

TNP SRT Constitution may voluntarily prepay all, but not less than all, of the Constitution Trail Loan at any time; provided, however, that (i) any such prepayment must be accompanied by the payment of an exit fee equal to 1.0% of the amount being prepaid (the “Exit Fee”) and all accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) any such prepayment made prior to the last month of the term of the Constitution Trail Loan must be accompanied by a premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) in an amount equal to (a) all amounts paid by TNP SRT Constitution with respect to the Constitution Trail Loan (excluding a $76,500 origination fee paid pursuant to the Credit Agreement), subtracted from (b) $22,950,000 (the “Applicable Amount”); provided, however, that the Applicable Amount will be reduced by $1.50 for every $1.00 of the principal amount of the Constitution Trail Loan that is prepaid on or prior to December 30, 2011, not to exceed, in respect of such prepayments, $10,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TNP SRT Constitution may prepay up to $10,000,000 of the Constitution Trail Loan on or before December 30, 2011, which such prepayment will not be subject to the Prepayment Premium, but will be subject to the Exit Fee.

TNP SRT Constitution’s obligations under the Constitution Trail Loan are secured by (i) a Mortgage, Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents in favor of the Constitution Trail Lender with respect to the Constitution Trail Property (the “Mortgage”), (ii) an Assignment of Leases and Rents by TNP SRT Constitution in favor of the Constitution Trail Lender with respect to the Constitution Trail Property, (iii) a Collateral Assignment of Agreements, Permits and Contracts by TNP SRT Constitution in favor of the Constitution Trail Lender with respect to all permits, license and franchise agreements, operating contracts, licenses, all management, service, supply and maintenance agreements, and any other agreements, permits or contracts entered into by TNP SRT Constitution with respect to the Constitution Trail Property and (iv) an Assignment of Management Agreement and Subordination of Management Fees by TNP SRT Constitution and the Property Manager in favor of the Constitution Trail Lender, pursuant to which (a) TNP SRT Constitution assigns to Constitution Trail Lender all of TNP SRT Constitution’s rights and interest in and to the Management Agreement, such assignment to become effective, at the option of Constitution Trail Lender, upon any event of default by TNP SRT Constitution under the Loan Documents, and (b) the Management Fees payable pursuant to the Management Agreement and the Property Manager’s rights to such Management Fees are subject to and unconditionally subordinated to the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents.

In connection with the Constitution Trail Loan, the Company and Anthony W. Thompson, the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer (collectively, the “Guarantors”), have entered into a Recourse Guaranty in favor of the Constitution Trail Lender (the “Guaranty”). Pursuant to the Guaranty, the Guarantors, on a joint and several basis, absolutely and unconditionally guaranty to the Constitution Trail Lender (i) the payment and performance in full of all amounts payable pursuant to the Constitution Trail Note upon (a) the occurrence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution with respect to TNP SRT Constitution or either Guarantor, (b) the Company’s sponsor and/or the Company ceasing at any time to own at least 50% of the direct or indirect beneficial interests in TNP SRT Constitution without the Constitution Trail Lender’s prior consent, or (c)


the violation of the special purpose covenants set forth in the Mortgage, if such violation results in the substantive consolidation of the assets of TNP SRT Constitution with the assets of any other person, and (ii) any loss or damage suffered by Constitution Trail Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) by reason of, among other things, (a) fraud or material misrepresentation or physical waste of the Constitution Trail Property by TNP SRT Constitution, (b) TNP SRT Constitution’s collection of rents under leases for a period in excess of 30 days, (c) the misapplication of tenant security deposits, (d) any breach of the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity (as defined below) or the provisions of the Mortgage relating to hazardous materials, (e) TNP SRT Constitution’s failure to comply with certain provisions of the Mortgage, and (f) TNP SRT Constitution’s failure to apply all rents and other proceeds of the Constitution Trail Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or to the maintenance and repair of the Constitution Trail Property during the continuance of an event of default under the Loan Documents.

In connection with the Constitution Trail Loan, the Company, TNP SRT Constitution and Anthony W. Thompson (the “Indemnitors”) have entered into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement in favor of the Constitution Trail Lender (the “Environmental Indemnity”). Pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity, the Indemnitors have agreed, on a joint and several basis, to unconditionally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Constitution Trail Lender and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any loss, liability, damage, expense, claims, penalty, fine, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and court costs) arising with respect to or in connection with (i) the Constitution Trail Property under any present or future local, state, federal or international law relating to public health, safety or the environment, or (ii) the presence or alleged presence of certain hazardous materials on, about, under, in, around or deriving from the Constitution Trail Property.

The material terms of the agreements described in this Item 2.03 are qualified in their entirety by the agreements attached as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

THIS PROPERTY AND ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of this 21st day of October, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between TNP SRT Constitution Trail, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, its successors and assigns (the “Company”) and TNP Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Property Manager”).

WHEREAS, Company desires to engage, and the Property Manager desires to be engaged, to supervise, manage, lease, operate and maintain the Property on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Commencement and Termination Dates. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) the sale of the Property or any portion thereof (in which event only as to such portion of the Property sold); (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15 below; or (iii) December 31, 2032 (the “Term”).

2. Authority of Property Manager. Subject to the approval of Company where required hereunder, Property Manager shall have the power and authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to the duties conferred upon Property Manager hereunder. The power and authority granted by Company to Property Manager hereunder shall include the power and authority to execute, acknowledge, and swear to the execution, acknowledgment of and the filing of, documents involving the ownership, financing, management and operation of the Property which are consistent with this Agreement, and any and all such other documents as may be necessary to implement the management powers of Property Manager set forth in this Agreement. If Company shall now or hereafter be comprised of more than one person or entity, any approval of Company required hereunder shall be deemed granted upon the affirmative consenting vote of persons or entities holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the interest in the Property.

3. Status of the Property Manager. The Company and the Property Manager do not intend to form a joint venture, partnership or similar relationship. Instead, the parties intend that the Property Manager shall act solely in the capacity of an independent contractor for the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause the Property Manager and the Company to be joint venturers or partners of each other, and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other party by virtue of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall deprive or otherwise affect the right of either party to own, invest in, manage, or operate, or to conduct business activities which compete with the business of, the Property.

4. Property Manager’s Responsibilities

4.1 Management. Property Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Property in a diligent, professional and commercially reasonable manner, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Company shall make available to the Property Manager such sums as are reasonably necessary to pay the costs thereof. Property Manager may implement such procedures with respect to the Property as Property Manager may deem advisable for the more efficient and economically sound management, operation and maintenance thereof.


4.2 Employees and Third Party Contractors. At all times during the Term, Property Manager shall employ, directly or through third party contractors (e.g., employing a local property management and/or leasing company), a sufficient number of capable employees and/or third party contractors to enable Property Manager to properly, adequately, safely and economically manage, operate and maintain the Property. All matters pertaining to the supervision of such employees and/or third party contractors shall be the responsibility of Property Manager. All salaries and benefits of employees who perform work in connection with the Property shall be consistent with the Budget (as hereinafter defined).

4.3 Compliance with Laws, Loan Documents and Other Matters.

4.3.1 Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any applicable Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) and governmental requirements relative to the performance of its duties hereunder. Expenses incurred to remedy any violations of laws or to comply with the Loan Documents shall be drawn from the Operating Account (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, that Property Manager shall not be obligated to expend funds to remedy any such violations if sufficient funds are not available in the Operating Account or if Company does not provide sufficient additional funds to do so.

4.3.2 Promptly after receipt, Property Manager shall furnish to Company copies of any notices of violation of any governmental requirement, orders issued by any governmental entity and any notices of default from the Lender (as hereinafter defined).

5. Budgets and Operating Plan.

5.1 Property Manager shall prepare and submit to Company a capital and operating budget on a monthly, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) basis for the management, operation and maintenance of the Property for each calendar year (each, a “Budget”). The Budget for the initial calendar year shall be prepared by manager and submitted to Company within thirty days of the date of this Agreement and such initial Budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender as hereinafter defined. On or prior to December 15th of the calendar year prior to all subsequent Budget years, or as soon as possible thereafter, Property Manager shall deliver to Company for approval a proposed Budget for the following calendar year. Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the same to approve or disapprove the proposed Budget (the “Budget Review Period”), and shall notify Property Manager of its approval or disapproval of the proposed Budget within the Budget Review Period. Any notice of disapproval shall set forth the grounds for such disapproval with specificity such that Property Manager may endeavor to address those grounds in a revised, proposed Budget to be thereafter submitted to Company. If Company fails to notify Property Manager of its disapproval of the Budget within the Budget Review Period, Company shall be deemed to have approved of the Budget. In the event a portion of any proposed Budget is disapproved, Property Manager may proceed under the proposed Budget for items that are not so disapproved and may take any actions permitted hereunder with respect to such items. In the event that any disapproved Budget items are operational expenditures, as opposed to capital expenditures, Property Manager shall be entitled to operate the Property using the prior year’s Budget for such items plus 5% until approval is obtained. Property Manager shall provide Company with such information regarding the Budget as may be, from time to time, reasonably requested by the Company. Property Manager shall charge all expenses to the proper account as specified in the approved Budget, provided that Property Manager may reallocate savings from one line item to other line items.

5.2 At any time during the calendar year to which any particular Budget applies and prior to making any expenditure which is not within an approved Budget, Property Manager may submit a proposed revision to such Budget to the Company for its approval consistent with the terms set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Property Manager shall not be required to submit a proposed Budget revision to Company for approval if any such expenditure is (a) less than 10% of the total Budget; or (b) is, in Property Manager’s reasonable judgment, required to avoid personal injury, significant property damage, a default under any Loan Documents, a violation of applicable law or the suspension of a service (collectively, “Permitted Expenditures”).

 

2


5.3 On or prior to December 15th of the calendar year prior to all subsequent Budget years, or as soon as possible thereafter, Property Manager shall submit to the Company, for information purposes only, an operating plan for the general operation of the Property, including a proposed list of improvements to the Property, general insurance plan, marketing plan and plan for the general operation and maintenance of the Property (the “Operating Plan”). Property Manager may submit a revised Operating Plan to the Company at any time.

6. Leasing.

6.1 Company hereby approves (i) all leases of any portion of the Property (collectively, and together with any amendments thereto, assignments thereof and guaranties thereto pertaining, the “Leases”) in effect as of the Effective Date.

6.2 Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lease all vacant, leasable space in the Property and to renew Lease agreements in effect as of the Effective Date, and Company hereby grants Property Manager the power and authority to negotiate new Leases and Lease renewals and to take all actions as may be necessary or desirable, in Property Manager’s reasonable discretion, on behalf of Company, to accomplish the foregoing. Property Manager shall reasonably investigate all prospective Tenants (as hereinafter defined), and shall not lease to persons not meeting credit standards reasonable for the market. Property Manager may, in its discretion, obtain a credit check for any prospective Tenant through a credit check company. Property Manager shall retain such information for the duration of any ensuing tenancy, and shall make it available to Company upon reasonable notice, subject to compliance with any confidentiality restrictions required by any such Tenant or any credit check company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Property Manager does not guarantee the accuracy of any such information or the financial condition of any Tenant.

6.3 Property Manager shall provide Company with any proposed new Lease or Lease renewal for approval (each, a “Proposed Lease Transaction”). Company shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Proposed Lease Transaction to approve or disapprove the Proposed Lease Transaction (the “Lease Review Period”), and shall notify Property Manager of its approval or disapproval of the Proposed Lease Transaction within the Lease Review Period. Any notice of disapproval shall set forth the grounds for such disapproval with specificity such that Property Manager may endeavor to address those grounds in a revised Proposed Lease Transaction to be thereafter submitted to Company. If Company fails to notify Property Manager of its disapproval of any Proposed Lease Transaction within the Lease Review Period, Company shall be deemed to have approved of the Proposed Lease Transaction.

6.4 Property Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts (a) to develop and maintain good relations with the tenants under the Leases (each, a “Tenant,” and collectively, the “Tenants”); (b) to retain existing Tenants in the Property and, after completion of the initial leasing activity for new Tenants, to retain such new Tenants; (c) to secure compliance by the Tenants with the terms and conditions of their respective Leases; (d) to consider and record Tenant service requests in systematic fashion showing the action taken with respect to each, and thoroughly investigate all complaints of a nature which might have a material adverse effect on the Property or the Budget; and (e) to supervise the moving in and out of Tenants and arrange, to the extent possible, the dates thereof to minimize disturbance to the operation of the Property and inconvenience to other Tenants.

6.5 Except as otherwise provided herein or upon the prior written consent of Company, Property Manager shall not lease any space in the Property to itself or to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

6.6 Property Manager and Company agree that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of age, race, color, religion, creed, handicap, sex or national origin in the leasing of the Property.

6.7 Property Manager is hereby authorized to execute, on behalf of Company, any and all Service Contracts (hereinafter defined), Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreements, Tenant Estoppel Certificates and Tenant Notices with respect to the Property, as well as notices, estoppels certificates and other documents relating to the Loan (hereafter defined) which are ministerial in nature.

6.8 Property Manager shall coordinate and facilitate all tenant improvements contemplated by the Leases (collectively, “Tenant Improvements”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For any Tenant Improvement contract requiring payment in excess of $100,000, the Property Manager shall follow the bidding requirements specified in Section 7.2.

7. Collection of Rents and Other Income. Unless otherwise required by any Loan Documents, Property Manager shall bill all Tenants for, when appropriate, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, all rent and other charges due and payable from all Tenants. Property Manager shall have the authority to use all commercially reasonable methods to collect such rent and other charges due, including, without limitation, pursuing litigation against any Tenant. Property Manager shall deposit all monies so collected in the Operating Account.

7.1 Repairs and Maintenance. Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and repair the buildings, appurtenances and grounds of the Property, other than areas which are the responsibility of Tenants, and to take precautions against fire at, vandalism of, burglary of and trespass to the Property. Such maintenance and repair obligations shall include, without limitation, janitorial services, painting, decorating, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, elevators and such other routine repairs as are necessary or reasonably appropriate in the course of maintenance of the Property.

7.2 Capital Expenditures. Property Manager may make any capital expenditure within any Budget approved by the Company. All other capital expenditures, other than Permitted Expenditures, shall be subject to submittal of a revised Budget to Company for approval in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless Company specifically waives such requirements, Property Manager shall award any contract for a capital improvement exceeding $100,000 in cost on the basis of competitive bidding, selected from a minimum of two (2) written bids. Property Manager shall accept the bid of the lowest bidder determined by Property Manager, in its sole discretion, to be responsible, qualified and capable of completing such capital improvements on a reasonable schedule and as bid.

7.3 Service Contracts. Property Manager may enter into or renew any contract with any unrelated third party for cleaning, maintaining, repairing or servicing the Property or any portion thereof (including, but not limited to, contracts for fuel oil, security or other protection, or extermination, janitorial, landscaping, architectural or engineering services) (collectively, the “Service Contracts”) contemplated by the Budget and consistent with the Operating Plan. Each such Service Contract shall (a) be in the name of Company or in the name of Property Manager as agent for the Company; (b) be assignable to the nominee of the Company; and (c) be for a term not to exceed one (1) year, unless the circumstances require otherwise, in the sole discretion of Property Manager. Unless Company specifically waives such requirements, all Service Contracts for amounts in excess of $100,000 per year shall be subject to the bidding requirements specified in Section 7.2 above.

2.08 Deposits for Impositions, Insurance Premiums, etc. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor will, upon demand by Mortgagee, pay or cause to be paid to Mortgagee, on the first day of each month following the date hereof, such amounts as Mortgagee from time to time estimates as necessary to create and maintain a reserve fund to be held by Mortgagee, without interest, from which to pay one month before the same become due, all Impositions (including all taxes, assessments, liens and charges on or against the Mortgaged Property and any part thereof) and premiums for insurance required to be maintained by Mortgagor under Section 3.01 hereof. Payments from such reserve fund for such purposes may be made at Mortgagee’s discretion even though subsequent owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof may benefit thereby. In the event of any default under the terms of this Mortgage, any part or all of such reserve fund may be applied to any part of the indebtedness secured hereby. In refunding any part of such reserve fund, Mortgagee may deal with whoever is represented to be the owner of the Mortgaged Property or such part thereof at the time. If one month prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned obligations the amount then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such obligation in full, Mortgagor, within ten (10) days after written notice from Mortgagee, shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Mortgagee. Until expended or applied as above provided, any amounts in the reserve fund shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Indebtedness. The reserve fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Mortgagee. No earnings or interest on the reserve fund shall be payable to Mortgagor.

2.09 Leases.

2.09.01 Subordination of Leases; Attornment. Except as otherwise consented to in writing by Mortgagee, all of the Leases shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to this Mortgage and shall contain provisions obligating the tenants thereunder, at Mortgagee’s option, to attorn to Mortgagee in the event Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Mortgagor under such Lease.

2.09.02 Enforcement, etc.

10

Prior to seeking Assignee’s consent to any Material Lease, Assignor shall deliver to Assignee a copy of such proposed lease (each, a “Proposed Material Lease”) blacklined to show changes from the standard form of Lease approved by Assignee and then being used by Assignor. Unless Assignee shall have expressly waived such requirement in writing, Assignor shall cause any proposed lease that would be a Material Lease and any amendment, modification or renewal of a Lease that is a Material Lease to provide for automatic, self-operative subordination to the Mortgage and (x) at Assignee’s option, attornment to Assignee or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or through the exercise of any other remedy by Assignee and (y) the unilateral right by Assignee, at Assignee’s option, to subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage to the applicable Proposed Material Lease. Any such waiver with respect to any Proposed Material Lease or any amendment, modification or renewal of a Lease that is a Material Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent proposed lease that would be a Material Lease or any amendment, modification or renewal of such Material Lease. For purposes hereof, “Material Lease” shall mean (i) any Lease which, together with all other Leases to the same tenant and to all Affiliates of such tenant, (A) covers 10,000 or more square feet of space at the Property, in the aggregate or (B) is with an Affiliate of Borrower and (ii) any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Material Lease.

Assignor shall deliver to Assignee copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding sentence together with Assignor’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding sentence within ten (10) days after the execution of the Lease.

2.09.03 Assignment of Leases, etc. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all its right, title and interest as landlord under Leases now existing or hereafter entered into, and all rents and other sums payable to Mortgagor under each such Lease, together with the right to collect and receive the same, provided that, if and so long as no Event of Default (as defined in Section 5.01 hereof) shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall be permitted to exercise its rights and perform its obligations as landlord under the Leases and to collect and receive such rents and other sums for its own uses and purposes but nonetheless subject to Section 2.09.02 hereinabove. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such permission shall terminate and shall not be reinstated upon a cure of such Event of Default without Mortgagee’s express written consent. Such assignment shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party and Mortgagee shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to all rents, income and other benefits from the Mortgaged Property whether or not Mortgagee takes possession of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor hereby further grants to Mortgagee the right, at Mortgagee’s option, to (i) enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the said rents, income and

 

12


other benefits, (ii) dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any tenant defaulting in the payment thereof to Mortgagee, (iii) let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and (iv) apply such rents, income and other benefits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby.

Neither the exercise of any rights under this paragraph by Mortgagee nor the application of any such rents, income or other benefits to the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall cure or waive any default, Event of Default, or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all such rents and other sums shall be collected and held by Mortgagee and shall be applied as provided in Section 5.08 hereof.

2.09.04 Further Assignments. Mortgagor shall assign to Mortgagee, upon request, as further security for the indebtedness secured hereby, Mortgagor’s interests in all agreements, contracts, licenses and permits affecting the Mortgaged Property, such assignments to be made by instruments in form satisfactory to Mortgagee; but no such assignment shall be construed as a consent by Mortgagee to any agreement, contract, license or permit so assigned, or to impose upon Mortgagee any obligations with respect thereto.

2.09.05 Rent Roll. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, on the date hereof and annually on or before March 1 of each year, and, in addition, within ten (10) days after a request by Mortgagee to do so, a certified statement containing the names of all tenants of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, the term of their respective leases, the space occupied, the rents payable and the securities deposited thereunder (the “Rent Roll”), together with true copies of each Lease and any amendments and supplements thereto.

To the extent not so provided by applicable law, each Lease of the Mortgaged Property, or of any part thereof, entered into after the date hereof, shall provide that, in the event of the enforcement by Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by this Mortgage, any person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor as a result of such enforcement shall not be bound by any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one month in advance.

(b) A sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or transfer within the meaning of this Section 2.18 shall be deemed to include (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Mortgagor agrees to sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part of the Mortgaged Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of or the grant of a security interest in, Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases; (iii) if Mortgagor, Guarantor, or any general partner or sole or managing member of Mortgagor or Guarantor is a corporation, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance or transfer 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 10% of such corporation’s stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now stockholders; (iv) if Mortgagor, Guarantors, or any general partner or sole or managing member of Mortgagor or Guarantors is a limited liability company, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance or transfer of direct or indirect interests in such limited liability company (or interests in any limited liability company directly or indirectly controlling such limited liability company by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of membership interests by which an aggregate of more than 10% of such limited liability company’s membership interests shall be

If acquired directly by Mortgagor, such sums shall be held in trust and immediately paid over to Mortgagee. Upon an Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagee (i) may prosecute any tax protests in respect of the Mortgaged Property and/or (ii) may settle any claims therein in the name of and on behalf of Mortgagor and collect any sums on account thereof.

2.20 Mortgage Foreclosure Moratorium Laws. If this Mortgage is now or hereafter protected or affected by moratorium laws, or by any other statutes, preventing the Mortgagee from foreclosing for nonpayment of the principal at the expiration date hereof, the Mortgagor shall continue or commence to pay amortization to the Mortgagee (if the Mortgagee so elects, and only so long as such laws or statues protect the Mortgagor from foreclosure for nonpayment of the balance of the principal debt), based upon the greater of (i) a five (5) year amortization schedule (subject to the highest rate permitted by law) or (ii) the same rate (if any) existing immediately preceding the maturity date of this Mortgage. If, however, applicable laws require or permit, in connection with mortgages so protected or affected, that installment payments to the Mortgagee amortizing such debt be in greater annual amounts than the aggregate per annum of the payments that would be due if based on such year’s payments, the Mortgagee may elect, as soon as permitted after the debt matures, that the installments payable after the maturity date hereof, shall be at the rate and as provided for in such laws. If the Mortgagor defaults in payment of any such amortization installment beyond any applicable grace period, such default shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder entitling Mortgagee to exercise all of its rights and remedies including, without limitation, instituting foreclosure proceedings solely by reason of such default. Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall be deemed to extend the maturity date of the Note and no acceptance of a payment by Mortgagee on account of the Note pursuant to this Section 2.20 or otherwise shall be deemed to extend the maturity date of the Note unless Mortgagee shall have agreed to such extension in writing.

 

18

Mortgagor will pay on demand all costs and expenses

 

29


(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee in enforcing this Mortgage or the Note, or occasioned by any default or Event of Default under this Mortgage, or incurred in connection with any foreclosure action or other proceeding brought by Mortgagee to enforce and protect its rights and interest under the Mortgage or Note. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee shall have the right to recover all such costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in any judgment of foreclosure and sale. For purposes of this Section 5.01, the rendering of a judgment in an action to foreclose this Mortgage shall not be deemed “payment in full of the Indebtedness” and it is the intention of the Mortgagee and Mortgagor that any such judgment shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

5.02 Security Agreement; Legal Proceedings; Foreclosure, etc. This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor by executing and delivering this Mortgage has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Indebtedness, a security interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee at any time may, at its election, do one or more of the following: (i) Mortgagee may proceed at law or in equity or otherwise to enforce the payment of the Note at the time outstanding in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (ii) Mortgagee may foreclose the lien of this Mortgage as against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and have the same sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or Mortgagee may, in an uncontested foreclosure, foreclose the lien of this Mortgage as against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and have the same sold pursuant to any non-judicial foreclosure remedy available to mortgagees under applicable law, and/or (iii) Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to any personal property covered hereby. If Mortgagee should proceed to dispose of any personal property in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, five (5) days’ notice by Mortgagee to Mortgagor shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice under any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code requiring notice. Mortgagor, however, agrees that all other property of every nature and description, whether real or personal, covered by this Mortgage, together with all personal property used on or in connection with the Mortgaged Property or any business conducted thereon by the Mortgagor and covered by separate security agreements, are encumbered as one unit, that this Mortgage and such security interests, at Mortgagee’s option, may be foreclosed or sold in the same proceeding, and that all property encumbered (both realty and personalty), at Mortgagee’s option, may be sold as such in one unit as a going business, subject to the provisions of applicable law. In any action service of process may be made upon the Mortgagor by mailing a copy of the papers to be served to the Mortgagor at the address set forth on the first page hereof, and such service shall be deemed complete upon the posting of such papers in any mail box regularly maintained by the United States Post Office.

This Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code.

All notices relating to or in connection with such a sale or under any applicable law pertaining thereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed by sufficient given or served for all purposes when delivered (i) by personal service or courier service, and shall be deemed given on the date when signed for or, if refused, when refused by Mortgagor’s agent, or (ii) by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given two (2) days after being sent, to any party hereto at its applicable address as set forth herein. For purposes hereof, notices may be given by Mortgagee or by its attorneys.

5.04 Purchase of Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee. Mortgagee may be a purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure or otherwise, and may apply upon the purchase price thereof the indebtedness secured hereby owing to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the lien of this Mortgage and free of all rights of redemption in Mortgagor.

5.05 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. Mortgagor hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.

costs and expenses of any receiver of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and any taxes, assessments or charges prior to the lien of this Mortgage, which Mortgagee may consider necessary or desirable to pay;

Second: to the payment of any indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, other than indebtedness with respect to the Note at the time outstanding, which Mortgagee may consider necessary or desirable to pay;

Third: to the payment of all amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and other charges at the time due and payable on the Note at the time outstanding (whether due by reason of maturity or as an installment of interest or by reason of any prepayment requirement or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise), including interest at the Default Rate on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent permitted under applicable law) on any overdue interest; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts so due and unpaid upon the Note at the time outstanding, then, first, to the payment of all amounts of interest and other charges at the time due and payable on the Note, and second to the payment of all amounts of principal at the time due and payable on the Note; and

Fourth: the balance, if any, held by Mortgagee after payment in full of all amounts referred to in subdivisions First, Second and Third above, shall, unless a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct by final order not subject to appeal, be paid to or upon the direction of Mortgagor.

5.09 Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then for so long as, and until, the indebtedness secured hereby is repaid in full, Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness secured hereby and without regard to whether Mortgagee has commenced an action to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage and without requirement for prior notice, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether such receivership be part of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise, and without regard to the nature of the action in which the appointment of a receiver is sought, and Mortgagor hereby consents to, and waives prior notice of, the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such appointment. Mortgagee may also seek a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief with respect to any act of omission constituting an Event of Default.

5.10 Possession, Management and Income. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee, without notice to Mortgagor, may enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by force, summary proceeding, ejectment or otherwise and may remove Mortgagor and all other Persons and any and all property therefrom and may hold, operate, maintain, repair, preserve and manage the same and receive all earnings, income, rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any part thereof. Mortgagor, if it is then the occupant of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, shall immediately surrender possession of the space so occupied to Mortgagee and if Mortgagor is permitted to remain in possession, the possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant of Mortgagee, and, on demand, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee monthly, in advance, a fair

 

32


market rental as determined by Mortgagee, for the space so occupied, and in default thereof Mortgagor may be dispossessed by the usual summary proceedings. Mortgagee shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management, except that any amounts so received by Mortgagee shall be applied to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of so entering upon, taking possession of, holding, operating, maintaining, repairing, preserving, and managing the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and any taxes, assessments or other charges prior to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage which Mortgagee may consider necessary or desirable to pay, and any balance of such amounts shall be applied as provided in Section 5.08. The covenants herein contained may be enforced by a receiver of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

5.11 Right of Mortgagee to Perform Mortgagor’s Covenants, etc. If Mortgagor shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder, Mortgagee, without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Mortgagor, and may enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Mortgagee’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry and no such action shall be deemed an eviction of any tenant of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. All sums so paid by Mortgagee and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand.

5.12 Remedies, etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of Mortgagee provided for in this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Mortgagee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Mortgagee of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

5.13 Provisions Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Mortgage may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Mortgage or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Mortgage and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.

5.14 No Waiver, etc. No failure by Mortgagee or any holder of the Note to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or thereof, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof or thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Mortgage, which shall continue in

 

33


full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. By accepting payment of any amount secured hereby before or after its due date, neither Mortgagee nor any holder of the Note shall be deemed to waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable hereunder or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment. By accepting any payment of interest at the regular rate specified in the Note, neither Mortgagor nor any holder of the Note shall be deemed to have waived any default or Event of Default or to have waived its right to collect interest at the Default Rate. Any and all special notations or endorsements on checks by Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be of no effect against Mortgagee and will not result in an accord and satisfaction.

5.15 Compromise of Actions, etc. Any action, suit or proceeding brought by Mortgagee pursuant to any of the terms of this Mortgage or otherwise, and any claim made by Mortgagee hereunder may be compromised, withdrawn or otherwise dealt with by Mortgagee without any notice to or approval of Mortgagor, except as shall be required by law and cannot be waived.

5.16 Mortgagor Personally Liable. Each Person constituting the Mortgagor shall be personally and jointly and severally liable for the entire indebtedness (including interest and other charges thereon) due under the Note and this Mortgage, and Mortgagee (in addition to its other rights hereunder) is hereby expressly permitted to attempt to collect and to collect said sums in any order it chooses from any or all Persons constituting the Mortgagor, the foreclosure and sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any combination of the foregoing. No release (regardless of consideration) by Mortgagee of any Person constituting the Mortgagor shall be deemed a release of any other Person constituting Mortgagor and each Person constituting the Mortgagor hereby waives notice of any such release.

5.17 Mortgage Includes All Mortgaged Property. Upon the foreclosure of this Mortgage and the sale of the Mortgaged Property resulting therefrom including to Mortgagee or its designee, and regardless of the amount bid at the foreclosure sale and whether or not there is a deficiency remaining on the Note, the purchaser shall acquire all of Mortgagor’s interest in and to all of the Mortgaged Property including, without limitation, the proceeds relating to all or any part thereof. By way of example, without implied limitation, the purchaser shall be deemed to have acquired all tax refunds, insurance proceeds and any other claims attributable to the Mortgaged Property even if actually received or collected after such foreclosure sale.

5.18 Actions and Proceedings. Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to act, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, in the stead of Mortgagor for the purpose of commencing, continuing and/or maintaining any tax certiorari proceeding in respect of the Mortgaged Property for any period, whether before, during or after the date of such Event of Default. Mortgagee shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Indebtedness, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Indebtedness.

 

34


5.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Mortgagor hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Mortgagee, and Mortgagor and Mortgagee each hereby waives any right it may have to trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other or in any counterclaim asserted by Mortgagee against Mortgagor, or in any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Mortgage, the Note, any other documents executed in connection therewith, or the Indebtedness.

5.20 Marshalling and Other Matters. Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.

5.21 Remedies of Mortgagor. Mortgagor understands and agrees that in no event shall Mortgagee (or any of its partners, shareholders, trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or representatives) have any personal liability hereunder or be liable for any consequential damages hereunder. In particular but without implied limitation, in the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Mortgagee has acted unreasonably or has unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Mortgage or other documents executed in connection therewith, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Mortgagee shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Mortgagor’s exclusive remedies shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

From and after an Event of Default, Assignor will maintain the Leases and any guaranty of the Leases in full force and effect, and will not, without the prior written consent of Assignee, (1) terminate or cancel any Lease or any guaranty of any Lease or consent to or accept any termination, cancellation or surrender thereof, or permit any condition or event to exist or to occur that would, or would entitle the tenant thereunder to, terminate or cancel the same, (2) amend, modify or otherwise change the terms of any Lease or any guaranty of any Lease except to increase the rent or other charges or assessments payable by tenants thereunder upon any renewal or extension of any such lease, (3) waive any material default under or breach of any Lease or any guaranty of any Lease, (4) consent to or permit any prepayment or discount of rent or payment of advance rent under any Lease or any guaranty of any Lease (other than the usual prepayment of rent as would result from the acceptance on the first day of each month of the rent for the ensuing month and a reasonable and customary security deposit of not more than two months’ rent in accordance with the terms of any such lease), (5) enter into any Lease not in

 

3


effect on the date hereof without the prior written consent of Assignee , (6) give any waiver, consent or approval under any Lease or any guaranty of any Lease or take any other action in connection with any such Lease that would or might impair the value of Assignor’s interest thereunder or of the Property subject thereto, or impair the interest of Assignee therein, or (7) consent to any assignment of or subletting under the Leases not in accordance with their terms.

ii) Additional Covenants with respect to Leases. Assignor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) perform and discharge all of the material obligations and undertakings of the landlord under the Leases and, in the case of each Lease, all such other obligations which could be the basis for the termination of such Lease by the tenant thereunder including, without limitation, the timely payment of all tenant improvement allowances in accordance with the terms of the applicable Leases, as and when same may become due and payable, and shall not do or permit anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt. From and after an Event of Default, Assignor shall enforce or secure the performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under the Leases and will appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations and undertakings of the tenants (or subtenants) thereunder. Promptly following receipt thereof, Assignor shall provide Assignee with copies of all notices of default received by Assignor from any tenant under a Lease. From and after an Event of Default, Assignor shall give prompt written notice to Assignee of any and all material defaults of any of the tenants under any and all of the Leases, together with a complete copy of any and all notices delivered as a result of any default by a tenant under any of the Leases.

iii) Additional Writings. Assignor agrees, from time to time, to execute and deliver, upon demand, all assignments and any and all other writings as Assignee may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent hereof, or to enable Assignee to enforce any right or rights hereunder.

e) Events of Default. The term “Event of Default” as used herein shall mean any one of the following:

i) If Assignor shall fail to pay when and as required to be paid any amount of principal or interest of the Loan or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or

ii) If Assignor shall fail to comply with any of the covenants, duties or obligations of Assignor herein or any of the Loan Documents (other than as specified in subsection (e)(i) above) and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof is sent by Assignor to Assignee; or

(iii) If an Event of Default under and as defined in any of the Loan Documents shall occur; or

(iv) If any representation or warranty made by Assignor herein was false or misleading in any material respect when made.

 

4


f) Revocable License to Collect Rents.

i) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Assignor shall have a license to manage the Property; to collect, receive and use all Rents and Profits in accordance with the terms of the Leases and the Loan Documents; provided, however, that all amounts so collected shall be applied to amounts payble under the Note, the Mortgage and this Assignment prior to any other expenditure or distribution by Assignor. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not Assignee shall have exercised Assignee’s option to declare the Note immediately due and payable), such license shall be automatically revoked without any action required by Assignee. Assignee shall endeavor to give prompt notice to Assignor of such revocation but the failure of Assignee to give such notice shall not affect the timing of such revocation or any of Assignee’s rights under the Loan Documents.

ii) Any amounts received by Assignor or its agents in the performance of any acts prohibited by the terms of this Assignment, including but not limited to any amounts received in connection with any cancellation, modification or amendment of any of the Leases prohibited by the terms of this Assignment and any amounts received by Assignor as rents, income, issues or profits from the Property from and after the later of the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Assignment, the Note, the Mortgage or any Related Agreement, shall be held by Assignor as trustee for Assignee and all such amounts shall be accounted for to Assignee and shall not be commingled with other funds of the Assignor. Any person acquiring or receiving all or any portion of such trust funds shall acquire or receive the same in trust for Assignee as if such person had actual or constructive notice that such funds were impressed with a trust in accordance herewith.

g) Remedies of Assignee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Assignee in person or by agent or by court-appointed receiver (and Assignee shall have the right to the immediate appointment of such a receiver and without regard to the adequacy of the security and Assignor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor) may, at its option, without any action on its part being required, without in any way waiving such default, with or without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor:

i) take possession of the Property and have, hold, conduct tests of, manage or hire a manager to manage, lease and operate the Property, on such terms and for such period of time as Assignee may deem proper, with full power to make, from time to time, all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto as may seem proper to Assignee;

ii) with or without taking possession of the Property, collect and receive all Rents and Profits, notify tenants under the Leases or any other parties in possession of the Property, to pay Rents and Profits directly to Assignee, its agent or a court-appointed receiver and apply such Rents and Profits to the payment of:

(1) all costs and expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property, management and operation of the Property, keeping the Property properly insured and all alterations, renovations, repairs and replacements to the Property;

 

5


(2) all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, and any other liens which may be prior in lien or payment to the Loan, and premiums for insurance, with interest on all such items; and

(3) the indebtedness secured hereby together with all costs and attorney’s fees, in such order or priority as to any of such items as Assignee in its sole discretion may determine, any statute, law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding.

iii) exclude Assignor, its agents and servants, wholly from the Property;

iv) at the expense of Assignor, from time to time, have joint access with Assignor to the books, papers and accounts of Assignor relating to the Property;

v) commence, appear in and/or defend any action or proceedings purporting to affect the interests, rights, powers and/or duties of Assignee hereunder, whether brought by or against Assignor or Assignee; and

vi) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any claim, debt, lien, charge or encumbrance which in the judgment of Assignee may affect or appear to affect the interest of Assignee or the rights, powers and/or duties of Assignee hereunder.

The receipt by Assignee of any Rents and Profits pursuant to this Assignment after the institution of foreclosure proceedings under the Mortgage shall not cure any such Event of Default or affect such proceedings or any sale pursuant thereto.

h) Indemnity and Assignee’s Disclaimer.

i) Assignor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify Assignee for and to defend and hold Assignee harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which Assignee may or might incur under the Leases or the Contracts or under or by reason of this Assignment, and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on Assignee’s part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases or the Contracts. Should Assignee incur any liability, loss or damage under the Leases or the Contracts or under or by reason of this Assignment, or in the defense of any of such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorney’s fees, shall be secured hereby; and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee for such amounts within ten (10) days following demand therefor, and upon failure of Assignor to do so, Assignee may declare all sums so secured to be immediately due and payable.

ii) This Assignment shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Assignee as mortgagee-in-possession of the Property or to obligate Assignee to take any action hereunder, to incur expenses or to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability hereunder or under the Leases or the Contracts and Assignee is not required to take possession of the Property as a condition to the assignment contained herein.

i) Waiver and Discretion. The failure of Assignee to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any rights or

 

6


remedies hereunder. Assignee shall have the full right, power and authority to enforce this Assignment, or any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, at any time or times that Assignee shall deem fit.

j) Notices. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be received by the addressee on the third day following the day such notice is deposited with the United States Postal Service first class certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the address, as set forth below, of the party to whom such notice is to be given, or to such other addressee as either party shall in like manner designate in writing.

m) No Election of Remedies.

Assignor hereby waives (a) any objections to the jurisdiction of such courts, (b) any objections to venue and (c) its right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by Assignee.

q) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Assignment shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Assignment shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, but only to the extent that it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

r) Modification. This Assignment may not be amended or modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any amendment or modification is sought.

s) Conflict of Terms. If any provision contained in this Assignment shall be inconsistent with any provision in the Mortgage, the provision that grants Assignee the broadest rights and remedies and imposes upon Assignor the greatest restrictions and limitations shall control.

Should Lender receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.3 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it

 

- 6 -


shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

4.4 Subordination. Guarantor agrees that any claims, liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances against Borrower and/or Borrower’s assets with respect to the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any claims, liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances of Lender against Borrower and/or Borrower’s assets of Lender, regardless of whether such claims and/or encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) make any demand for payment of, or take any action to accelerate, any obligation owed to Guarantor by Borrower, or seek to collect payment of any such obligation, (ii) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Borrower, or (iii) 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 claims, liens, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances against Borrower or the assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Remedies. Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies under this Guaranty or otherwise. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy under this Guaranty on any one occasion, shall not be construed as a ban or waiver of any such right or remedy which Lender would have had on any future occasion, nor shall Lender be liable for exercising or failing to exercise any such right or remedy.

The rights and remedies of Lender under this Guaranty are cumulative and, as such, are in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Lender under law or any other agreements.

If Lender is exercising any of its rights and remedies with respect to Borrower or any or all of the Property, to the extent permitted by law, Guarantor will not object to any action taken by Lender in enforcing such rights and remedies to the extent such action is permitted by law.

5.2 Reporting Requirements. Guarantor will provide immediate notice to Lender if (1) any representation and warranty included in this Guaranty would no longer be true if made on such date or (2) there is a material adverse change with respect to Guarantor. Guarantor will furnish to Lender from time to time such information regarding Guarantor as Lender may reasonably request.

5.3 Waiver of Suretyship Defenses. Guarantors hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance hereof, (ii) grace, demand, presentment or protest with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any instrument, agreement or document evidencing the same, (iii) notice of grace,

 

- 7 -


demand, presentment and protest, (iv) notice of non-performance or other defaults, (v) notice of the renewal, extension, amendment and/or modification of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease and (v) any other notice in respect of Guarantied Obligations.

5.4 Waiver of other Defenses. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

5.5 Notices. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be received by the addressee on the third day following the day such notice is deposited with the United States Postal Service first class certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the address, as set forth below, of the party to whom such notice is to be given, or to such other addressee as either party shall in like manner designate in writing.

7) No Waiver. Indemnitors’ obligations hereunder shall in no way be impaired, reduced or released by reason of Lender’s omission or delay to exercise any right described herein or in connection with any notice (except for notices required of Lender pursuant to this Agreement), demand, warning or claim regarding violations of any Hazardous Material Laws governing the Property.

TNP Strategic Retail Trust Acquires Fee Simple Title to

Constitution Trail Centre in Normal, Ill

Completes Consent Foreclosure

IRVINE, Calif., (October 25, 2011) – TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), a publicly registered non-traded REIT that invests in grocery and drug-store anchored, multitenant necessity retail properties, announced today that it has acquired fee simple title to Constitution Trail Centre in Normal, Illinois. The Company previously acquired the mortgage notes secured by the property and on Friday, October 21, 2011 completed a consent foreclosure.

Constitution Trail Centre is a 197,739 square foot multitenant retail center built in 2007 and located in Normal, Illinois, a suburb of Bloomington in the heart of central Illinois. The property includes an additional value-add opportunity with 28 acres of land for future development. The center sits directly north of the densely populated Illinois State University (ISU). Aided by a well-diversified employment market, the Bloomington-Normal MSA unemployment rate was 7.4 percent as of August 2011, 2.5 percentage points lower than the Illinois average of 9.9 percent according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The property is approximately 67.5 percent leased and is anchored by Schnucks and Starplex Cinemas. Other national tenants include Dollar Tree, Subway, H&R Block, Great Clips and Wendy’s. Tenants have staggered lease expirations that range from 2012 to 2029.
